New Wisdom

We invite you to share the uplifting wisdom you have gained on your journey…

Life is about… Expressing, Embracing, Enjoying. Learning, Loving and Loss. Laughter, Sadness and Pain… Experience life and know that without the hard times, we cannot truly appreciate the good times. Live, Love, Laugh, Cry, Smile. Lou Forrest

When all is consistently well in our lives, we tend to take things for granted and lose a sense of appreciation in the process. When all is consistently bad in our lives, we lose our sense of trust, security and hope. It is our own personal responsibility to balance the stress levels in our lives, so that we can live moderately, and grow and deepen our strength of character and our appreciation of circumstances. Monitor your stress levels closely and proactively decide for yourself what you can, and cannot take on board in your life. One life, live it well. Lou Forrest

Confidence grounded in fact, will hold you in good stead throughout your life. Be careful to practise the positive skills that you are good at, so as to keep your self-belief from wavering. We all have good in us, and it is there for good reason – to make this world a better place. With us all playing our part, contributing good to this world and expressing our God given talents, there is no doubt that we can heal this world together. Believe you can and you will. Lou Forrest

There are a lot of noises and a lot of voices and it can be overwhelming for us at times. Take some quiet time to meditate and do some controlled breathing and let your mind find calm. It is only when you achieve stillness of your soul that the right direction will come to you. Psalm 46:10 (NKJV) says “Be still, and know that I am God”. Find peace in God’s presence and realise that he is bigger than any and all of your problems. 1 Peter 5:7 (NKJV) says “Casting all your care upon Him for He cares for you.” Revelation 3:20 (NKJV) says “Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me.” Peace be yours. Lou Forrest
