Juan's Bible Verse of the Week!
This week's verse:
"Delight thyself also in the Lord; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart."
Psalms 37:4
Would you like to know the strategy to my happiness? If you've seen me, you'll know that I am always seemingly happy. Wanna know how I do it? Regardless of your answer to that question I am going to tell you. Here's Juanasaurous' guide to happiness...... I am the best pessimist ever. I mentally prepare for the worse possible case-scenarios because that's what I expect. But that works to my advantage. "That doesn't make any sense Juan!" Hold on! Let me explain. You see, because I expect the worse, and the worse case-scenarios are NOT too common, whatever outcome I get I am more than content!
Ex. Case: First day of school.
Worse possible scenario: Hating all your classes.
What Actually happened: You only hate 1 class.
According to Juan's laws of Joy, this is a cause for happiness!!
(And I'll punch the man who says I'm not)
Another of my great philosophies is to live life with regret. But not just any kind of regret, forgiven regret. And not only forgiven by yourself, but by God. (If you and God have forgiven it, then the rest don't truly matter.) Life is one big dictating school. You will be taught something one way or another, and the best teacher life offers is Mr. Dr. Prof. Experience. He's renown all over town for his teaching skills and for his unrelenting wrath he sometimes brings down upon his students. If we did something stupid, we can't just forget about it, pretend it never happened and NOT regret it. To learn lessons with Experience we must regret our mistakes. But we can't let this regret bring us down in our long treacherous journey of our life. It must be forgiven, never forgotten. Learn from our past to improve our future. But remember to live in the present the past is what it is, and the future is what you are.
Jeeze! I didn't want to end my blog with THREE philosophies but this next one is a good one!!
Okay so we've all heard the saying "Just follow your heart." Or maybe even "Do what your heart tells you." If you haven't heard that then stop reading my blog and go read a book or something. But every time I read/hear that I seriously just want to go and kick some babies. (JK that's not cool, don't do that.) But I gotta tell all ye fellow bloggers that thy heart is gullible and tender! It'll believe just about everything. (Unless you've hardened your heart so that it feels nothing.) So I say "No!" Don't follow your heart, follow your brain! Your brain is the smart one, hence the name. So do what your thoughts tell you, Usually this theme correlates to relationships, but it's also very useful when it comes to passions and hobbies. When people act with their hearts it usually turns out to be a bad outcome and that's how the phrase "Bless her/his heart." came to be. One day really try and listen to your heart. But I mean really really listen to it. And think about it's thoughts. You'll realize how stupid hearts are.
Thanks for reading! This was probably my longest blog and maybe even boring-est. I hope you enjoyed. If you don't agree with me, have any questions, comments, or concerns relating my blog, my verse, or me don't hesitate to leave a comment and don't forget to follow!!

ReplyDeleteJeremiah 17:9 (King James Version)
9The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?
Right on Arny! Thanks for the comment. And your feedback. :)
"(Unless you've hardened your heart so that it feels nothing.)" Its not that ive hardened my heart , its just that ive used up all the young blood rushing throught the veins, spent it all on nothing and got nothing back in return, except a wounded heart. so tell me pleas how to feel again
ReplyDeletejuanzies I have to say that I absolutely love your blog! hehe almost as much as I love you!! I think you are so smart and witty and I love that you are happy all the time! ha and I love that video, it freakin cracked me up hahaha but yea I should use that technique because I am not always happy. anywho I was also wondering if you know what your own heart tells you sometimes and what does it say that your brain doesn't agree with, like have you ever been in a situation where your heart told you one thing but you went with what your brain said? If so I would love to know it lol dang I'm nosy, sorry its one of my tragic flaws!! but yea lolz text me! :)
