Stupidity is not a sin. A sinful act might be due to ignorant stupidity, but not all stupidity leads to sin. Sometimes, stupid is just stupid. Annoyances are just that - annoyances, not the end of the world. Do not let them ruin my day. And do not curse them. I need to watch my thoughts and the words coming out of my mouth.
Imperfection is the sign of existence. As long as I exist, I am imperfect -- a work in progress. The keyword is "progress". I ought to keep progressing toward perfection. One day at a time. And painfully, others are imperfect too. Accept them. Jesus accepts them as much as he accepts me, imperfect and all. I do not need to be perfect for Jesus to love me. So I ought to love others, too, with their imperfections.
"To err is human." Mistakes happen. Do not dwell on it, reflect on it, learn from it, and do not repeat it. When others make mistakes, focus on facts and be positive: do not make the mistake more painful that it already caused, but correct lovingly.
Move on. Do not stand still. Change to be like Jesus, step by step.
Be responsible with spending, but enjoy life. Do not accumulate money just for the sake of having more. Money is a tool to accomplish God's purpose and life's objectives.
Dear Holy Spirit
please remind me always
to treat others as Jesus would
and to decide as Jesus would
so that my life would
serve the Holy Father's purpose
