Joel Osteen has a book called, “Your Best Life Now”, so I thought it was only fitting that I stir up your MoJo with my rendition of such! I hope these steps help you as they help me!
1. Use every free opportunity to get some face-time with God! If you are bored, why send a mass text message asking random people “WYD” when you could be praying and asking God “WYD” ! Example: Use your shower time – you can even talk to him in the car as you commute to work in the morning!
2. Stop being so darn grumpy all the time! My Grandma said that if you keep frowning and looking ugly, one of these days you are going to get stuck like that! Smile, it will carry you along way.
3. Go through your phone or Facebook contact list and pick a random person to bless. It does not have to be MONEY! It only takes a minute to send a card or a kind email or text. You never know whose life you can impact!
4. Turn off the radio, the phone, the TV, and the internet, while you at it! Just for a few hours every now and then, allow God to speak to you without any outside interferences.
5 . Make a list of people that you have offended or that have offended you and go back and attempt to make things right [give it another shot! Yes, even after the 20th time]. Even if you were not at fault, still GO BACK!
6. Do something out of the normal! Get adventurous and do something wild! (NOT TOO WILD NOW!)
7. Expand your circle of friends so that it is diverse. If possible, befriend people of different nationalities and cultures. Someone that is different from you can teach you new things about the world.
8. Don’t sweat the small stuff. If you find yourself getting offended easily, just take a moment and look at the bigger picture.
9. Today, find a way to compliment an absolute stranger. It is easy to find or say something negative so purposely find something good to say and share it with that person!
10. Last but not least, laugh at a good joke today! Be silly and let your hair down! Play dress up with your kids. Take goofy pictures and share them with the world, it’s okay, we will still love you if you crack a smile.
