Things to Do

When you are constantly “thinking” about what you should do in your life, you are living life through the limited ego level of your mind, which can waste time, try your patience, and result in failure.

In times of change, remember that when one door closes, another opens. If you look at life that way, you maintain a positive energy about your future, which is helpful. But also keep in mind that having a close relationship with God’s Presence within you helps empower that door to open.
