Emotionalism

Reviewed by angal, 2009-09-11


Oprah proves that she is not perfect. But she is good, she is cariing and giving and she loves what she does.
We can get so caught up into the moment of doing the things that we enjoy to the point that we become so emotional that we do not recognize that even with all of the good, why do we still become stressed. Based on my experience I recognized being determined to do any cause is much hard work. It is the closest thing to perfection. You keep at it until you get it right. If it does not work this way then it must work another way. Strategy driven is stressful.
Strategy driven is doing things your Own way. Doing things your own way and succeeding is very hard work and requires many skills. Going through an emotional cycle is not a healthy thing.Sometimes we are not willing to sacfrice things that can become heavily burden. God speaks in Matthew 11 He says Come unto me, all you that labour and are heavy burden, and I will give you rest. To Take His yoke upon us , and learn of Him, for He is meek and lowly in heart: and we shall find rest unto our souls. For His yoke is easy, and His burden is light. When we follow our own ways the burden is heavy and becomes great and begins to break. We find ourselves running from stressors that causes us to be dyfunctional. We have to deal with ourselves and our pain so that losing weight becomes a lighter burden to bare.

My Mom loved it.

Well, this review is based on my mothers comments. I don't watch Oprah. But since my mom does I bought this for her. She loved it. So, if you know anyone that is a Oprah worshiper like my mom, he/she will probably love it. My goal was to make my mom happy, it did, so it gets 5 stars.
