BG’s Positively Speaking

Click To Delete

Most people have mastered the art of using the delete button on their computer keyboard. We use it to delete our junk mailbox, to get rid of emails that we have read and no longer have use for, and to get rid of useless or outdated information. There is something else that happens when we click delete: we help our computer run better, to perform tasks faster and more efficiently. We have cleared all the accumulated, unwanted information from the memory, leaving it free to concentrate on the essential things we want.

There is a lesson we can learn from this. 

If we learn to use our “personal” delete button, we can function more efficiently. We will be able to achieve more, which will make us feel more positive and help create the better life we seek. The secret lies in recognizing the things in our lives that we need to delete, so they don’t take up permanent residence. Here are a few things that will help you move toward a better life.

When someone says something negative about you, your abilities, your options, your dreams, or your achievements. Send them into cyberspace; don’t let them define who you are or what you can become. CLICK “DELETE”

Next time someone does something that annoys, hurts, or insults you, or tries to get you angry, treat them like the junk mail they are. Don’t allow them to see that they have “gotten under your skin”…. CLICK “DELETE”

Whenever you hear someone speak negatively about your family, friends, associates, or your boss, let their words fall into the garbage bin. Don’t allow their opinions of others to dominate you the way you think. Develop your own relationships and form your own opinions. Just click “DELETE”.

Create a BETTER life……… Learn how to click “DELETE”!

A Gorilla Walks Into A Bar…

A gorilla goes into a bar and orders a martini. This totally amazes the bartender, but he thinks, “What the heck, I guess I might as well make the drink.” So he mixes the martini. He then walks back over to give it to the gorilla, who is holding out a twenty-dollar bill. Well, now the bartender is just at a loss for words. He can’t believe that a gorilla walked into his bar, ordered a martini, and then actually had a twenty-dollar bill to pay for it. So, in amazement, he takes the twenty and walks to the cash register to make the change. While he’s standing in front of the cash register, he stops for a second and thinks to himself, “Let me try something here and see if the gorilla notices anything.”  So he walks back over to the gorilla and hands him a dollar change. The gorilla doesn’t say anything; he sits there sipping the martini. After a few minutes, the bartender can’t take it anymore. “You know,” he says to the gorilla, “we don’t get too many gorillas in here.” And the gorilla says, “At nineteen dollars a drink, I’m not surprised.”

The New Pastor

A new pastor was visiting the homes of his parishioners. At one house, it seemed obvious that someone was at home, but no answer came to his repeated knocks at the door. He took out a business card, wrote ‘Revelation 3:20’ on the back of it and stuck it in the door. When the offering was processed the following Sunday, he found that his card had been returned. Added to it was this cryptic message, ‘Genesis 3:10..’ Reaching for his Bible to check out the citation, he burst into gales of laughter.

Revelation 3:20 begins “Behold, I stand at the door and knock.”

Genesis 3:10 reads, “I heard your voice in the garden and I was afraid for I was naked.”
