It’s believing that God heard you the first time.When you pray like you mean it, you believe God heard you the first time. You ask, then you pause and receive your answer, without any proof.

No one likes to admit they’re wrong, but we’re all wrong some of the time. And sometimes our wrongs h

Przez wyboje życia z Reginą BrettOdcinek 10: NieDlaczego tak trudno nam wymówić to króciutkie, trzyliterowe słowo? Bo „nie” pociąga za sobą poważne konsekwencje. Bywa, że nie chcemy nikogo rozczarować. Wolimy też spełniać oczekiwania otoczenia, często dla połechtania naszego ego. A czasem to smutek z dzieciństwa przekonuje nas, że ten, komu odmówimy, poczuje się tak samo odrzucony jak my przed laty.
Warto umieć mówić „nie”. Jak to zrobić? Posłuchaj!

I od razu odpowiada: „Najprostsza i oczywista odpowiedź brzmi: przyłóż długopis do papieru albo przesuwaj palcami po klawiaturze komputera”. Bo, zgodnie z jedną z lekcji Reginy Brett, „pisarzem jest ten, kto pisze”. Chcesz zacząć pisać? Marzysz o rozwijaniu się twórczo?
