a doctor's advice


so i will admit, i love my doctor. i know it sounds weird. i have always hated going to the doctor, but this guy is so intriguing to me. he is extrememly awkward at times, and very blunt, but those are the things i love. he has a facebook page and today he posted an article, so of course, being that i love him, i read it.

and God delivers tokens of wisdom in the randomest ways

i have been having my quiet times with the Lord in the mornings very consistently lately and i've been having the conversation with Him over and over again how i just want to hear His voice and i feel as though i'm deaf to His word. i have felt like lately i am so bad at spending time with Him. i have kept at it though in hopes that i would hear the still small voice again. and i love how he delivers reassurance that He is there, He is listening, and i, no matter how tired, or defeated, or bad i feel that i'm doing, i need to keep pushing. below is a little of the article that spoke to me the most.

the writer is Gretchen Rubin
you can find the article on her blog
"the Happiness Project"

"Realize that anything worth doing is worth doing badly."
"Challenge and novelty are key elements of happiness. The brain is stimulated by surprise, and successfully dealing with an unexpected situation gives a powerful sense of satisfaction. People who do new things — learn a game, travel to unfamiliar places — are happier than people who stick to familiar activities that they already do well.
I often remind myself to “Enjoy the fun of failure”
and tackle some daunting goal."
