Laura FitzgeraldCourteous people learn courtesy from the discourteous
About This Quote
The great Sigmund Freud said, “Courteous people learn courtesy from the discourteous.” He was referring to the way that we learn and master manners and etiquette in our early life and how it carries over into our adult lives. If we are raised in an environment where we are taught courtesy, we will treat others with the same respect. In your opinion what is the greatest gift from God? All of us have been blessed with so many gifts from the Lord. I am lucky enough to have been given a gift of 'The Gift' which can be used in so many ways, some of which I have chosen to use for good and some of which I have chosen to use for bad. The gift of 'The Gift' is a gift of natural ability that allows us to be a direct conduit between the physical world and the spiritual world.
This gift is a gift that has been given to no one else but me. I am proud to be a true-blue believer in this gift. We all need to believe in something, even if it's only ourselves, because nothing else will work.
How do you look at your spiritual gift? Do you look at it as a blessing or a curse? In my opinion, when you look at your spiritual gift as a blessing rather than a curse you will begin to see all of the good things that come from it! Do you believe in God? I think everyone has their own little corner of heaven on earth, but not everyone has their own personal God who loves them more than their own life. When I was young I used to pray, asking God for forgiveness for everything bad I had ever done because I didn't want God to punish me for them. But one day it hit me like a ton of bricks that I was praying for forgiveness for my sins because I didn't want God to punish me for them! It was at that moment that I realized that my prayers were not getting answered because they were focusing on the wrong thing! They could only be answered if they were focused on Jesus Christ because he died on the cross for all our sins! You can still turn to your heavenly Father anytime you want by asking him for forgiveness through Jesus Christ! Most people think they have no right to ask God anything after they have sinned but this is not true! You can still turn to your Heavenly Father any time you want by asking him through Jesus Christ his Son! So ask Him today through Jesus
