Someone said, "life is like having a leg in a bear trap and your head caught in a vice grip." That's right; life has enormous challenges and constant traps. No one can always avoid pitfalls. No matter who you are or what you are trapped in, there is HOPE. Be strong and courageous! Do not tremble or be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go." Joshua 1:9 (NASB).

Playing it safe is good advice. Yet it doesn't always live up to the hype. Sometimes it leads to bad things.    People need to be a little more dangerous. Always playing it safe is dull.   Bored people are not happy. A reasonable amount of dangerousness is taking a few risks, and living life. It's better to enjoy the adventure than live a dull-boring life.

It is good to give and receive. Cheerful giving stimulates positive thinking for both the giver and the receiver.   There is a happy exchange of emotions between joyful giving and grateful receiving.  The joy is not in the gift; it’s in the action.   The action of giving and receiving is a powerful agent of goodwill.  Be stimulated.

Common sense intelligence comes from life experiences.  The Three E's that help us succeed are. 1. Exceptional, exceeded all the requirements of whatever the challenge is.   2. Excellent, giving nothing but the highest quality possible.  "If it can be done better, do it."  3. Extraordinary is the opposite of mediocracy and familiar sloppy places.   Continue to improve and add value to life work and play.

Ralph Waldo Emerson answered the question: "What is the hardest task in the world? To think." It is hard to think things through.  However, to enjoy a comfortable future, it is wise to invest in thinking.    Critical thinking is one of the most valuable skills some people will ever have.   Those who sacrifice time and money into strengthening their minds to think are worth their weight in gold.

Failures, setbacks, and mistakes are plentiful, and people have these in common.    Some people put a positive spin on the loss, while others won't. The difference is how to respond to defeat.   There are actual benefits from dusting off the dirt of disappoints.  A good start comes from positive self-talk, for example, "God Is Good." Take action; keep moving forward for a healthy; Mind-Body and Soul.

Community is a good word.  More than a word is a feeling of fellowship with others.   The opposite of community is dis-community, and that's not good.  It is best to get along with others acknowledge that people are unique and have different options.  Friendship and fellowship are the way to the community.
