A woman goes to her doctor for her annual check up.
A woman goes to her doctor for her annual check up.
The nurse starts with
certain basic items.
‘How much do you weigh?’
she asks. ‘Eight and a half stone,’ the woman says.
The nurse puts her on the
scales and tells; her weight is actually ten stone. The nurse asks, ‘Your
height?’ ‘5 foot 8 !!!’, she says.
The nurse checks and says
that she only measures 5′ 2′.
She then takes her blood
pressure and tells the woman that it is very high.
‘Of course it’s HIGH !!!’
the woman screams, ‘When I came in here I was tall and slender…. Now I’m short
and fat !!!’

6) Never apologize for not embracing someone else's agenda.
7) Never apologize for disagreeing.
8) Never apologize for your faith.
9) Never apologize for your own sense of creativity.
10) Never apologize for ordering dessert.
11) Never apologize for being funny.
12) Never apologize for living your truth.
Every one of us casts a shadow.
There hangs about us, a sort of a strange, indefinable something, which we call personal influence--that has its effect on every other life on which it falls. It goes with us wherever we go. It is not something we can have when we want to have it--and then lay aside when we will, as we lay aside a garment. It is something that always pours out from our lives . . . as light from a lamp, as heat from flame, as perfume from a flower.
The ministry of personal influence is something very wonderful. Without being conscious of it, we are always impressing others by this strange power that exudes from us. Others watch us--and their thinking and actions are modified by our influence."
"Be very careful, then, how you live--not as unwise but as wise, making the most of every opportunity." Ephesians 5:15-16
~J. R. Miller, "The Shadows We Cast"
