Be Real ( Part 7)

In Summation, what things define a REAL person:

-You've learned to let go of the old to make way for the new.
The good old days are gone and will never come back.  If you have acknowledged this and taken steps to address that realization, you have positioned yourself for lasting better days ahead.
-You're strong enough to let go and wise enough to wait for what God has in store. 
Sometimes you have to get knocked down lower than you have ever been to stand up taller than you ever were before.  Sometimes your eyes need to be washed by your tears so you can see the possibilities in front of you with a clearer vision again.  Don’t settle for less than what God has for you.
-You understand that life should be touched, not strangled. 
Sometimes you’ve got to relax and let life happen without incessant worry.  Learn to let go of some things before you squeeze too tight.  Take a deep breath.  When the dust settles and you can once again can see the forest for the trees, take the next step forward.  You don’t have to know exactly where you’re going to be headed somewhere great if God is in charge. 
Everything in life is in perfect order whether you understand it yet or not.  It just takes some time to connect all the dots.
