How often do you wash your towel? Some people wash once a week, while some, once a year. The towel is a fertile breeding ground for millions of microbes, especially those found on human skin and on the gut. No wonder the towel is one of the objects that facilitate fecal-oral contamination (literally connecting the two ends of the gut). Worse still, most people keep towels in the bathroom (near the toilet). Every flush of the toilet sends mist with millions of microbes, ranging from H.pylori, salmonella and other deadly bacteria and viruses. When you wash your hands ready for a meal, and dry them with your body towel, there's high chance you are directly ingesting your fecal matter, or, if in a shared lavatory, someone else's faeces. Unless cleaned well, viruses such as human papillomavirus (causes warts, anal cancer and cervical cancer) can be transmitted when towels are shared with infected individuals. So, what to do? 1.

If there is one thing the Word of God warns against – it is Bitterness.
Bitterness has led to several failed marriages, several failed businesses, and several failed careers.
Hebrews 12:15 says “Looking Diligently lest any man fail of the Grace of God: lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and thereby many be defiled.”
I recently bumped into a buddy of mine. He has been going through a very rough patch since 2012. As I engaged him a conversation, I sensed that he had become very bitter with everything and everyone. I told him to find out why his Wilderness Experience has been prolonged.
A couple of years back I posted how I met a former colleague at the Weekly Review, and for more than 10 years, he had never settled at any job. Yet he was one of the best at the Weekly Review.
I have met several people whose marriages have failed- and have become very bitter.
I have met people that have been played in relationships, and have become very bitter
I have met people who have been conned, and have become very bitter.
Why is Bitterness dangerous- As the Bible says above “lest any root of Bitterness springing up trouble you, and thereby many are DEFILED”
Bitterness eats you up. It eats up your opportunities. It eats up your potential.
If you find yourself failing to get into another relationship after someone unfairly dumped you- check your level of Bitterness.
If you find yourself unable to pick up in Business after someone led to your collapse- check your level of bitterness
If you find yourself unable to get a new job after you were unfairly and maliciously sacked – check your level of bitterness.
If you find yourself constantly fighting your wife or husband after he or she cheated on you, and repented. Check your level of bitterness.
Kick it out of your life. Do not live life looking at the past, lest you become a pile of bitter salt.
Live your life with Joy, accept that you were played, sacked, cheated on…… and move on seeking better and bigger opportunities for Love, Business and Employment.
You will be surprised how a change in attitude can greatly change your life.
