#SandysWisdom #7: A REAL MISTAKE IS ONE FROM WHICH YOU LEARN NOTHNG. I’t ok to make mistakes. Were you raised under that umbrella, because I was not. At the age of 81, I have made more mistakes than Hines has beans! It is from many of those mistakes (some of which I repeated innumerable times,) […]
#6: NEVER WASTE A SECOND OF YOUR LIFE COMPLAINING. COMPLAINING DOESN’T SOLVE PROBLEMS, IT ATTRACTS THEM. THE MORE YOU COMPLAIN THE MORE PROBLEMS YOU’LL HAVE, AND THE MORE YOU INFECT OTHER PEOPLE WITH YOUR PROBLEMS. DON’T BE AN INFECTION, BE A CURE!

It is difficult for people to think about the idea that negative things are attracted to you by your thoughts and actions. I always remind my friends that fear is a magnet. What you fear, your life will create. At the very least, it disempowers you from thinking clearly and making wise choices. Complaining doesn’t […]
#5: DON’T GET STUCK IN YESTERDAY BECAUSE YOU ARE NOT THE SAME PERSON
March 14, 2023 by
#SandysWisdom IT’S NO USE GOING BACK TO YESTERDAY BECAUSE I WAS A DIFFERENT PERSON THEN. We hold ourselves prisoner to our past with judgments and suppositions. Let’s say you have a new job. It would be easy to walk into it with fear because you have memories from other jobs, maybe even jobs in the […]
#4: GOD GRANT ME THE SERENITY TO ACCEPT THE PEOPLE I CANNOT CHANGE, THE COURAGE TO CHANGE THE ONE I CAN, AND THE WISDOM TO KNOW IT’S ME.

Have you ever had a relative or friend “coach” you about a choice or decision, and you felt annoyed? You might have thought, “Mind your own business!” I grew up in a generation that believed “coaching” was based on helping the person see the light when, in truth, it always about being right or wrong. At […]
(SW#3:) WHEN HAVE YOU BEEN AT YOUR STRONGEST? WHEN I HAVE DARED TO SHOW MY WEAKNESS.
March 7, 2023 by
We are taught by our parents and society to “look good at all costs.” Keep your feelings to yourself. Your feelings are not valid. Comments like, “You shouldn’t feel that way!” made our feelings seem wrong. A feeling isn’t right or wrong, it just is! You can’t stop feelings from happening, what do with those […]
#2: YOUR MIND WILL ALWAYS BELIEVE EVERYTHING YOU TELL IT. FEED IT FAITH, FEED IT TRUTH, FEED IT WITH LOVE.
March 2, 2023 by
#SandysWisdom When I hear someone calling themselves “stupid,” I quietly remind them, “Best not to say that cuz you are listening!” The same is true when someone calls their knee a “bad knee.” Your body is listening! Your mind is like a computer, it receives data. It doesn’t judge the data as right or wrong, […]
#1: DON’T JUDGE WHAT YOU DON’T UNDERSTAND
February 28, 2023 by
#SandysWisdom It is so easy to judge what other people do and say. Our need to be right gets in the way of just accepting that this is their way….of being. My mother was an Olympic criticizer/judger, so I learned to think negatively. In order to break that habit, I developed a technique that will […]
