 Do you ever feel caught up in emotional storms? You can overcome them! |  How do we stand up to peer pressure and bullying? |  Would you rather fight a lizard or a dragon? |
 How do we overcome stress, anxiety, low-level fear? |  How do we deal with a superior attitude, which can really be offensive and can block healing and opportunity? |  What do you want to be when you grow up? Have you thought about being vs doing?
|
 Can you say, "I love who I am, and I am enough!" You can stop emotional bullying and love yourself. |  "That's not fair!" Maybe not. But God meets all our needs. Is that enough? |  How do we feel but not let emotions scare or control us? |
 Goliath looks powerful, but David gets him with a single stone. Can you be like David? |  Technology has sped up our lives. If emails don't pop up instantly, something is wrong! Patience is waning. And then there's Noah. |  "Whoever has ears, let them hear!" Are we hearing-understanding with our heart-the message that Jesus came to share? |
 Jesus' Sermon on the Mount gives the key to lasting happiness, harmony that no storm can shake. |  Many recent studies prove the power of gratitude. Not only does gratitude help our outlook on life, but it actually improves our health. |  Real humility recognizes abilities in ourselves and others as coming from God. It's not egotism or self-confidence. |
 The pain we face is temporary. The promise of our Resurrection is eternal. Live life without fear of pain or death. |  We have the right to be happy, but does that mean we have the right to be selfish? No. Selfishness hurts others and creates only temporary happiness. To find true joy we must be selfless. |  In our efforts to grow up, we sometimes forget what is so precious about childhood. Jesus never did. Jesus valued the purity, openness, honesty, and unconditional love children express, as should we. |
 Anger and resentment help no one. In fact, they are consistently one of the main roadblocks to healthy relationships and happy lives. Anger and resentment are our Goliaths, and God has provided as many stones as we need to conquer them. |  Everyone wants a second chance, and all it takes is a change in thought. If we stopped worrying about the situation or the mistakes we've made and focus on God, we will feel the instantaneous change in our thought, which will be reflected in our lives. |  Most of us complain fairly often, about nearly everything. It seems natural and can feel good to let off steam. However, complaining is negative and detrimental. The act of complaining wastes time that could be spent gratifying our opportunities or working on solutions. |
 Failure has a negative connotation, but many influential figures, like Thomas Edison, saw failure as a learning experience. Messing up doesn't mean we should give up, it means we have been given another opportunity in which to learn and succeed. |  God made us with endurance in Mind. With qualities like patience, happiness, gratitude, trust in God, and Love, we are able to endure any hardship. |  Competition is not about winning or losing. It is an opportunity to honor God by striving for our best and to pace us against peers. Whatever the outcome, when competition is done properly, all parties involved gain from the experience. |
 Travel allows us to see the great world that God has created. Don't allow yourself to become stressed or weary. Prepare for a successful trip by making your travels God-centered. |  Creativity is an expression of God's infinite abundance. Despite how many concepts have already been created, there is still an infinite amount for us to design on our own. |  Choose carefully, through spiritual listening, which criticism you choose to acknowledge and which you choose to dismiss. |
 Gain insights into how to stop criticism. Learn what Jesus and the disciples had to say about criticism. |  Nothing is hopeless. Today, we consistently limit ourselves by identifying things as impossible or hopeless. Yet, through the Bible we see that the feats most identify as hopeless are accomplished through faith in God. When we love God, nothing is hopeless. |  The balance beam can teach you a lot. For instance, focus, look where you want to land, and trust in God to keep a healthy, balanced life. Not to mention, you'd learn a few tricks for the next time you see a balance beam. |
 Jealousy is very subtle. One minute we can be thinking about a friend's new car and the next we might be wishing it were our car instead. To combat jealousy we should rejoice in others accomplishments and take pride in our own. |  Christmas is a time to reflect back on the life of Jesus Christ and the love he demonstrated, which was often directed at the unloved. For Christmas we should focus on giving the gift of love, especially to those who lack it. |  Fear can be petrifying, but only because we give it power. When we remember that God is beside us, all of our various fears that seem so real turn out to be nothing more than the monster under our beds. |
 Depression tells us that our joy can be taken away. This is not true. God provides our joy, which is eternal and ever-present. |  When we are grateful for the supply that God has already given us, we will find ourselves amazed at how much God loves us. |  Anger can seem uncontrollable, but that is a false idea. Anger is a reaction. To defuse it, stop reacting and respond. If we take time, focus on peace, and then respond to the problems at hand, our anger will have dissipated. |
 When tasks build up, do you become overwhelmed? You don't have to. When we realize that God provides us with all we need to complete our work, our panic fades away. |  Being grateful is overrated, right? Wrong! Life is great, and as long as we maintain our grasp on what is good in our lives, despite what may temporarily be going awry, life can only get better. |  On a daily basis we put labels on everything, which can be helpful to organize objects. However, when we apply labels to people, we not only limit those people, but we also put limitations on God. |
 It is easy to think we are doing others a favor by forgiving them. In actuality, we are doing ourselves a favor. We bless everyone, including ourselves, by forgiving others. | | |
