Many of us come to Christ thinking that everything will be easy, and if our expectations are not met we quit.

PARADOX OF LIFE
1. TODAY WE HAVE BIGGER HOUSES YET SMALLER FAMILIES MORE COVENIENCE, BUT LESS TIME.
2. WE HAVE MORE DEGREES, BUT LESS COMMON SENSE, MORE KNOWLEDGE, BUT LESS JUDGEMENT.
3. WE HAVE MORE EXPERTS, BUT MORE PROBLEMS, MORE MEDICINE, BUT LESS GOOD HEALTH.
4. WE SPEND TOO RECKLESSLY, LAUGH TOO LITTLE, DRIVE TOO FAST, GET TOO ANGRY TOO QUICKLY, STAY UP TOO LATE, READ TOO LITTLE, WATCH TV TOO MUCH AND LESS CONSIDERATION TOO OFTEN.
5. WE HAVE MULTIPLIED OUR POSSESSIONS, BUT HAVE REDUCED OUR VALUES. WE TALK TOO MUCH, LOVE TOO LITTLE AND LIE TOO OFTEN.
6. WE HAVE LEARNED HOW TO MAKE A LIVING, BUT NOT A LIFE. WE HAVE ADDED YEARS TO LIFE, BUT NOT LIFE TO YEARS.
7. WE HAVE TALLER BUILDINGS, BUT SHORTER TEMPERS, WIDE ROADS, BUT NARROW VIEW POINT.
8. WE SPEND MORE, BUT HAVE LESS. WE BUY MORE, YET ENJOY IT LESS.
9. WE HAVE BEEN ALL THE WAY TO THE MOON AND BACK BUT HAVE TROUBLE CROSSING THE ROAD TO MEET OUR NEIGHBOUR.
10. WE HAVE CONQUERED OUR OUTER SPACE, BUT NOT OUR INNER SPACE.
11. WE HAVE SPLIT AN ATOM BUT NOT OUR PREJUDICE.
12. WE WRITE MORE, LEARN LESS…PLAN MORE, BUT ACCOMPLISH LESS. WE HAVE LEARNED TO RUSH, BUT NOT TO WAIT. WE HAVE HIGHER INCOMES, BUT LOWER MORALS.
13. WE BUILD MORE COMPUTERS TO HOLD MORE INFORMATION, TO PRODUCE MORE COPIES, BUT HAVE LESS PEERSONAL COMMUNICATION. WE LONG FOR QUANTITY, BUT LESS IN QUALITY.
14. THESE ARE TIMES OF FAST FOODS AND SLOW DIGESTION, TALL MEN AND SHORT CHARACTER.
15. MORE LEISURE BUT LESS FUN. MORE KINDS OF FOOD, BUT LESS NUTRITION, LOW INCOME, BUT MORE DIVORCE, NICE HOUSES, BUT BROKEN HOMES
16. DON’T KEEP ANYTHING FOR SPECIAL OCCASION, BECAUSE EVERYDAY YOU LIVE IN THE SPECIAL OCCASION.
17. SEARCH FOR KNOWLEDGE, READ MORE, SIT AND ADMIRE THE VIEW WITHOUT PAYING ATTENTION TO YOUR NEEDS, SPEND MORE TIME WITH YOUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS, EAT YOUR FAVOURITE FOOD AND VISIT THE PLACES YOU LOVE.
18. LIFE IS MOMENT OF ENJOYMENT AND NOT JUST ABOUT SURVING, DRINK FORM THE FINIEST CHRYSTAL GLASS, DO NOT SAVE YOUR BEST PERFUME OR AFTER SHAVE BUT USE IT EVERYDAY.
19. REMOVE PHRASES LIKE “ONE OF THESE DAYS” “SOMEDAY” AND “NOT NOW” FROM YOUR VOCABULARY. TELL YOUR FAMILY, HOW YOU LOVE THEM, DO NOT DELAY ANYTHING THAT ADDS LAUGHTER, AND JOY TO YOUR LIFE. EVERYDAY, EVERY HOUR, EVERY MINUTE IS SPECIAL AS YOU DO NOT KNOW IF THEY WILL BE YOUR LAST.
