Are You Missing Out?

FOMO… the fear of missing out…It is definitely something I struggle with. I don’t want to miss out on anything, whether it is social media posts, conversations, or experiences. The result is that I often end up feeling exhausted and anxious, and I don’t know that my efforts really increase my involvement that much, and may even cause me to be where I’m not wanted (another fear I have.) Most of the time, this is not a fear that we should give much weight to, but there are things that we should take seriously and make very sure that we do not miss out.

 

Look For the Rainbow

What I've Learned in Marriage-15 It is often said to look for the silver lining after the storm, meaning look for the good side of the situation. That outlook can change your life because if you focus on finding the positive in life and remaining hopeful even in the worst times you will gain victory. I started keeping a journal with all of my “trials” in one column and the “silver lining” in the other. Determining to learn what you can from every situation will cause you to grow in maturity and wisdom greater and faster than any other way and will keep you from despairing in life. But I’ve discovered that there is more to look for than the silver lining or even the lesson to be learned. There is also the promise.
