En jy dink jy sukkel!

‘n Mens is sterker as wat jy dink jy is!

En jy dink jy sukkel! Lynette Beer

“Ek weet regtig nie meer wat om te doen nie.” Die vrou is duidelik moedeloos. Finansies wil nie uitwerk nie, mediese koste is hoog. Finansieël trek almal swaar. Hoe nou gemaak? As die koskaste en bankrekening ewe leeg is. As daar net rekeninge in die posbus beland.

Werk al die positiewe denke steeds? Hoe kyk mens dan verby jou omstandighede? Dis nou in sulke tye wat jy moet aanhou. Aanhou glo. Aanhou dankbaar wees. Aanhou om die mooi in die lewe te soek.

Die probleem is mens is nie dan altyd lus nie. Sulke tye vra vir mooi dink, baie bid en groot konsentrasie om die goeie te soek. Dankbaar te bly. Dit vat meer as wat jy dink menslik moontlik is. En daar lê die geheim. Die oorgee en ophou probeer om dit in jou eie krag te maak. Die stil word voor God. Te erken jy weet nie watter kant toe nie. Jou totale afhanklikheid te verklaar en te weet Hy het jou tot hier gedra, los sal Hy nie vir jou los nie.

So deur die krag van die Heilige Gees, kan jy weer kop optel. Waardeer jy dit wat jy nog het. Kan jy weer ‘n loflied sing. Maar, mens jy moet eers stil word. Hoor die voëls in die bome. Sien die blomme in die tuin. Kry jou krag van bo, en doen wat jy kan elke dag met ‘n gesindheid van dankbaarheid. Op ‘n hopie gaan sit, gaan nie werk nie, maar maak jou planne in gebed. Uitkoms sal daar wel weer wees.

Ek dink een van ons grootste krisisse vandag, is dat ons alles self wil doen. Onafhanklik wil wees. Nie wil laat blyk as daar probleme en nood is nie. Dis lynreg teen die Woord waar die Nuwe Testamentiese gelowiges aangespoor is om uit te reik en mekaar te help. Is ons dan nie almal deel van een familie nie? Moenie bang wees om te vra vir hulp nie. ‘n Toebroodjie in liefde gedeel, beteken baie meer as ‘n feesmaal wat in ‘n atmosfeer van bitterheid genuttig word.

Onthou jou omstandighede kan hoe sleg wees, jy het ‘n keuse hoe jy daarop gaan reageer. Om kwaad, ongelukkig, vreesbevange of verbitterd te raak, gaan nie jou omstandighede verander nie. Dit gaan wel maak dat jy nog slegter, eensamer en depressief gaan voel. Kies om te bly glo, te bly hoop en om positief vorentoe te beweeg.

Ek het geleer as jy ‘n storm op die pad kry, dan moet jy nie stilhou nie. Dan is jy gevang in die storm. Dis ook gevaarlik, want ander kan in jou vasry. Nee, jy moet aanhou ry, met groot omsigtigheid en stadiger as gewoonlik, so kan jy onder die storm uitry. Dis ‘n stukkie wysheid wat ons ook deur ons lewensstorms kan dra. Hou net aan beweeg!


Uit die Woord:En God is by magte om aan julle alles in oorvloed
te skenk, sodat julle in alle opsigte altyd van alles genoeg
kan hê en volop kan bydra vir elke goeie werk .” – 2 Kor. 9:8

The Four Temperaments in the Health Care Industry
By Lynette Beer 25 Apr, 2023
I have to date, not met any successful healthcare worker without a deep love for people. Empathy and caring for people's needs should form part of any nurse or doctor's make-up – unless they choose to spend time in laboratories or the admin side of the industry.

The Four Temperaments and Stress Management - Finding Balance
By Lynette Beer 25 Apr, 2023
Stress management is not a nice-to-have skill. If anything, dealing with stress could be a lifesaver. For many corporate positions, it has become a prerequisite for employment.
The Impact of Temperament on Communication
By Lynette Beer 18 Apr, 2023
Communicating is a vital life skill that does not come naturally to all. When it comes to talking, the Red and Yellow temperaments have no problem at all – to the contrary, they are talkers par excellence. As the storyteller and performer, Yellow could make an impromptu speech with little or no warning, while Red could persuade a large group to follow his course or buy into his concept. But listening – the other crucial ingredient of communication - is a skill both Red and Yellow must practise.

By Lynette Beer 18 Apr, 2023
Although the two extrovert types, Raving Red and Yappy Yellow, are traditionally the apparent leaders, all temperaments can lead a team. It is a misconception that introverts do not make good leaders.
Navigating Romantic Relationships with Different Temperaments
By Lynette Beer 01 Mar, 2023
Although opposites often attract, there is no scientific proof that this is the norm. However, it is common to find an introvert marrying an extrovert or a people-oriented person finding a task-oriented Red or Blue attractive. This could be a subconscious step to compliment him- or herself or simply make sure that he or she does not have to perform a duty that does not come naturally or comfortably.
Exploring the Four Temperaments in Parenting
By Lynette Beer 01 Mar, 2023
‘Know Thyself’ has never been as crucial as in the parenting role. Parents have often told me that the child they battle the most with is the one that resembles them – in character and temperament. Flaring up against young Jimmy because he shows signs of your own shortcomings is human – but not fair.
The Groovy Green Temperament and Decision Making
By Lynette Beer 01 Mar, 2023
Groovy Green hates making decisions – it comes with the temperament… He or she is a master procrastinator and good at passing on the decision-making buck. Feeling unworthy and not ‘good enough’, clever enough or competent enough to make any decision, is almost a natural reaction for our Green brothers and sisters.
