CONTROL YOUR EXPERIENCE

TO BE MATURED: CONTROL YOUR EXPERIENCE

Experience has no age-mate, class-mate, peer-group; in fact, no experience of two-person is the same. It can only be similar.

Therefore, Your Experience is yours and it belongs to you alone

Hence, before you claim to be acting negatively from experience which turns you to become an aggressive fellow, remember that others have theirs but do not allow it to overwhelm them.

Be in control of your experience, and not your experience controlling you.

If you are in control of your experience, you are matured and your behavior will be outstanding

However, if your experience controls you, it's a sign that you are not yet mature, and aggressiveness becomes your second nature.

Summarily, 

Controlling your experience is letting go of the past negative and make use of the lesson learned from it to become a better person today and the best tomorrow

If your experience controls you, it means you do not let go the past, and the past blocks you from seeing the lesson it offers, hence u become more aggressive in the society today and perhaps foolish person tomorrow

God bless you as you take control of your experience.

Cheers.

DO YOU KNOW WHY AND HOW JESUS OVERCAME HIS TEMPTATION?

 Sunday, February 26, 2023. FIRST SUNDAY OF LENT (A) First Reading. Genesis 2: 7-9; 3: 1-7 Psalm. 51: 3-6, 12-14, and 17 (R. cf. 3a) Second Reading. Romans 5: 12- 19 Gospel. Matthew 4: 1-11 TOPIC FOR REFLECTION  YOUR DESIRE IS YOUR TEMPTATION.  Do you know why JESUS did not fall into temptation? It is because...  1. He is divine and not of the flesh; remember, only flesh is tempted and not the Spirit.  2. He came from Heaven, and not from the earth.  3. He is in the world, but not of the world.  4. All that exists on earth was created THROUGH HIM, AND WITH HIM, AND IN HIM. So, how can what he creates tempt Him the creator? 5. He came to save and to teach us how to be saved, by extension, how to overcome temptation.  I will like to quickly remind us that all temptations in life fall under 3 categories. They are...  1. PLEASURE  2. POWER  3. POSSESSION.  Jesus was tempted by these 3 categories.  They are as follows:  1....

CALLING JESUS' NAME WITHOUT FAITH, AFFECTS OUR SPIRITUALITY

 Wednesday, July 5, 2023 St Anthony Mary Zaccaria, P. (Opt Mem) First Reading.  Genesis 21: 5, 8-20 Psalm. 34: 7-8, 10-13 (R. see 7a) Gospel. Matthew 8: 28-34 TOPIC FOR REFLECTION THE WAY YOU CALL JESUS' NAME DETERMINES YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH HIM. The way we call the name of Jesus matters most. Some call Jesus' name in a comic manner Some call Jesus in a dramatic way Some call Jesus' name in a social way Some call Jesus' name for the sake of identity Some call Jesus' name to lie and cheat Some call Jesus' name to deceive others  Some call Jesus' name to commit a crime Some call Jesus' name to fight the battle alone  Some call Jesus' name when in a difficult situation, and so on to infinity.  My dear, the truth is that many call Jesus' name without reverence, and as such they will not feel the spirit of Jesus' presence, because once one can not have reverence for a name, how can such a person feels the spirit of that name? Imagine, if someone ...

TOLERATE INSULTS, IT IS PART OF LIFE'S GROWTH

Image
  Thursday, February 9, 2023 Office: Psalter Week 1 FIRST READING- Genesis . 2: 18-25 Psalm.  128: 1-5 (R. see la) Gospel.  Mark 7: 24-30 TOPIC FOR REFLECTION TOLERATE INSULTS, IT IS PART OF LIFE'S GROWTH  I have come to realize that insult is part of life. Anyone who wishes to survive in life should not pay attention to insult, because either one likes it or not, it must come directly or indirectly to one. Those who have attained a certain height of spirituality in life paid no attention to insult. Insult could come in different ways and manners, but what matters most is that attention should not be given to it. Let me share with you one great secret of life which I discovered recently, though I may say I discovered it late 😆, is that if you pay no attention to the person insulting you, shame soon envelops him or her who insults you. Though I must be sincere that it is not easy to endure insult, if one can overcome it, one has already overcome his or her...
