Problems Are Part Of Life

Do not let fixing things be your top priority. Instead, make your relationship with Me your primary concern. Talk with Me about whatever is on your mind, seeking My perspective on the situation. Rather than trying to fix everything that comes to your attention, ask Me to show you what is truly important. Remember that you are en route to heaven and let your problems fade in the Light of eternity.

The Age of Independence

In this age of independence, people find it hard to acknowledge their neediness.
However, I have taken you along a path that has highlighted your need for Me:
placing you in situations where your strengths were irrelevant and your weaknesses
were glaringly evident. Through the aridity of those desert marches, I have drawn you
closer and closer to Myself. You have discovered flowers of Peace blossoming in the
most desolate places. You have learned to thank Me for hard times and difficult
journeys, trusting that through them I accomplish my best work. You have realized
that needing Me is the key to knowing Me intimately, which is the gift above all gifts.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

Love Is Eternal

Love Is Eternal

 

Once you have learned to love;
who you are, what you do,
and those around you,
you will have truly learned to live.

Search for love, for it is the most important ingredient of life.

Without it, your life will echo emptiness.
With it, your life will vibrate with warmth and meaning. Even during any hardship,
love will shine through.

To love abundantly is to live abundantly.
To love forever is to live forever.
Be thankful for what you have now.

And be thankful for the opportunities for love
and success that are before you.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Believing Always Precedes Seeing!

See Things As You Want Them To Be

 

How can you make your dream come true, if you don't have one?
Visualize your goals and your subconscious will begin to work toward making your mental pictures come true.

You'll gradually grow into any condition you desire, provided you adjust your mental attitude to mirror the person who corresponds to those conditions.

If you advance with confidence in the direction of your dreams, and begin to live the life you imagine, you'll meet with success beyond your wildest imagination.

The only way to discover your limits of the possible is to go beyond them into the impossible.
You're the one who can stretch your horizon.

And Remember this:  Believing Always Precedes Seeing.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

The Highway To Success Is A Toll Road

The Highway To Success Is A Toll Road

 

Success cannot be coaxed or bribed.
It's the offspring of drudgery and perseverance.
Pay the price for success and it's yours.

This world is run with far too tight a rein for luck to interfere.
Fortune sells her wares, she never gives them.
In one form or other, you pay for her favors or you go away empty.

Everything you want in life has a price connected to it.
There's a price to pay if you want to make things better, a price to pay for just leaving things as they are, a price for everything.

Nature cannot be tricked or cheated.
She'll give up to you the object of your struggles only after you have paid her price.

There is no victory at bargain basement prices.

Follow Those Dreams

Follow Those Dreams

 

 If you want to enlarge your life, you must first enlarge your thought of it and yourself.
Hold the ideal of yourself as you long to be, your ideal of what you long to attain, the ideal of health, efficiency, fun and success.

You can lift yourself by your thoughts. Your vision will help you climb mountains.
High achievement always takes place in the framework of high expectation.

You'll become as small as your controlling desire, or as great as your dominant aspiration.

The courage to follow your dreams is your first step toward destiny.
When you cease to dream, you cease to live.

The Secret To Confidence Is Preparation

The Secret To Confidence Is Preparation

 

With practice you'll come to a point of competence.
You'll find yourself accomplishing your goals gracefully and confidently.

It's then that you'll do things that you never dreamed you could do.
You'll discover powers you never knew existed.
If you're prepared, you're able to feel confident.

There can be no great courage when there is no confidence or assurance.
Half the battle is in the conviction that you can accomplish what you undertake.

Confidence doesn't come out of nowhere. It's the result of constant work and dedication.

Nothing Is Impossible To A Willing Heart

Nothing Is Impossible To A Willing Heart

 

You can do anything in this world you want to do, but you must want to do it badly enough.
You really can have everything you want, if you go after it. You have to want it.

The first ingredient of success is desire. Do you know what you want?
Your desire is the planting of your seed.

Your desire for success must be so strong within you that it's the very breath of your life. It must be your first thought when you wake in the morning, and your last thought when you go to bed at night.

You can be whatever you make up your mind to be. What's in your mind is all that counts.

Work Is Reward Not Punishment

Work Is Reward Not Punishment

 

Your success in any occupation depends on your enjoyment.
Loving your work makes the difference.
If you enjoy what you do, you'll be successful.
If you don't enjoy what you do, you won't be successful.

Your chances for success are directly proportional to the degree of pleasure you derive from what you do. If you have a job you hate, face the fact squarely and get out. You'll never achieve real success unless you like what you are doing.

Success in its highest and noblest form calls for peace of mind, enjoyment, and happiness which comes only when you find the work that you like best.

You don't pay the price for success. You enjoy the price for success.
Work is love made visible.

Attitude is (almost) Everything

Attitude is (almost) Everything

 

You determine your attitude.
You can respond positively or negatively to any situation.
Your attitude is not determined by circumstances, but by how you respond to your circumstances.

Any challenge facing you is not as important as your attitude towards it, for that will determine your success or failure.

It's how you react to events, not the events themselves, that determines your attitude.

BTW: GOD is Everything!

All Great Achievement Takes Time

All Great Achievement Takes Time

 

"Keep trying" is the rule that must be followed to be successful at anything.

Your success will always be connected with your actions. Just keep moving towards your goal.
You'll make mistakes but don't ever quit. You may even have to hang on after others have let go.

Persistence means taking pains to overcome every obstacle, to do all that's necessary to reach your goal. In the end, the only people who fail are those that do not try.

Your future is a big adventure.
Just remember, all great achievement takes time.

You Can Be A Winner If You Plan Ahead

You Can Be A Winner If You Plan Ahead

 

You gain the advantage in any situation through one medium: time
You can do things before they need to be done.
You can position yourself ahead of time in the best place.

Think ahead of any approaching action.
Make a plan and you will always have the advantage.

Let your advance worrying become advance thinking and planning.
The time to repair the roof is when the sun is shining.

In life, as in chess, forethought wins.

Every Failure Is A Step Closer To Success

Every Failure Is A Step Closer To Success

 

People who try to do something and fail are infinitely better than those who try to do nothing and succeed. Experiencing failure is inevitable on your journey to be successful. Each defeat is merely an installment to victory.

You'll find that the number of times you succeed is in direct proportion to the number of times you fail and keep trying. You won't be judged by the number of times you fail, but by the number of times you succeed.

Failure is nothing but education, nothing but the first step to something better.
You can't be a winner and be afraid to lose.

Your Success Is A Matter of Expectation

Your Success Is A Matter of Expectation

 

You must first expect to succeed if you want to succeed.
When you expect good things to happen, strangely enough, they will happen.
Expectation energizes your goals and gives them momentum.

Your life will always respond to your outlook, so set your goals high.
The dreams you choose to believe in will come to be.

You can't expect to succeed beyond your wildest expectations unless you begin
with some pretty wild expectations.

Strength For Today

Strength For Today

 

Do not let any set of circumstances intimidate you.

The more challenging your day, the more of My Power I place at your disposal.

You seem to think that I empower you equally each day, but this is not so.

Your tendency upon awakening is to assess the difficulties ahead of you, measuring

them against your average strength. This is an exercise in unreality.

 

I know what each of your days will contain, and I empower you accordingly.

The degree to which I strengthen you on a given day is based on two variables:

the difficulty of your circumstances, and your willingness to depend on Me for help.

Try to view challenging days as opportunities to receive more of My Power than usual.

Look to Me for all that you need, and watch to see what I will do. 

 

As your day, so shall your strength be.

The power to hold on in spite of everything, to endure, this is the quality of a winner. Your greatest glory is not in never failing, but in rising every time you fail.

It's your constant and determined effort that will eventually break down all resistance and sweep away all the barriers before you. Persistence means taking pains to overcome every obstacle, to do all that's necessary to reach your goal.

All great achievements require time. Endurance is the crowning quality
of success.

Get Seen....Get Paid!

An excerpt from: "The Right to Lead" by John Maxwell

WHAT GIVES A MAN OR WOMAN THE RIGHT TO LEAD?

It certainly isn't gained by election or appointment. Having position, title, rank, or degrees doesn't qualify anyone to lead other people. And the ability doesn't come automatically from age or experience, either. No, it would be accurate to say that no one can be given the right to lead. The right to lead can only be earned. And that takes time.

The Kind of Leader Others Want to Follow

The key to becoming an effective leader is not to focus on making other people follow, but on making yourself the kind of person they want to follow. You must become someone others can trust to take them where they want to go. As you prepare yourself to become a better leader, use the following guidelines to help you grow:

1. Let go of your ego.

The truly great leaders are not in leadership for personal gain. They lead in order to serve other people. Perhaps that is why Lawrence D. Bell remarked, "Show me a man who cannot bother to do little things, and I'll show you a man who cannot be trusted to do big things."

1. Become a good follower first.

Rare is the effective leader who didn't learn to become a good follower first. That is why a leadership institution such as the United States Military Academy teaches its officers to become effective followers first - and why West Point has produced more leaders than the Harvard Business School.

1. Build positive relationships.

Leadership is influence, nothing more, nothing less. That means it is by nature relational. Today's generation of leaders seem particularly aware of this because title and position mean so little to them. They know intuitively that people go along with people they get along with.

1. Work with excellence.

No one respects and follows mediocrity. Leaders who earn the right to lead give their all to what they do. They bring into play not only their skills and talents, but also great passion and hard work. They perform on the highest level of which they are capable.

1. Rely on discipline, not emotion.

Leadership is often easy during the good times. It's when everything seems to be against you - when you're out of energy, and you don't want to lead - that you earn your place as a leader. During every season of life, leaders face crucial moments when they must choose between gearing up or giving up. To make it through those times, rely on the rock of discipline, not the shifting sand of emotion.

1. Make adding value your goal.

When you look at the leaders whose names are revered long after they have finished leading, you find that they were men and women who helped people to live better lives and reach their potential. That is the highest calling of leadership - and its highest value.

1. Give your power away.

One of the ironies of leadership is that you become a better leader by sharing whatever power you have, not by saving it all for yourself. You're meant to be a river, not a reservoir. If you use your power to empower others, your leadership will extend far beyond your grasp.

In The Right to Lead, you will hear from and read about people who have done these same things and earned the right to lead others. Because of the courage they found and the character they displayed, other people recognized their admirable qualities and felt compelled to follow them.

The followers who looked to these leaders learned from them, and so can we. As you explore their worlds and words, remember that it takes time to become worthy of followers. Leadership isn't learned or earned in a moment.
~John Maxwell

Never Say Never

Never Say Never

There is no such thing as no chance. Don't think about the things you can't do. Think about the things you can do.

No matter what the level of your ability is, you have more potential than you can ever develop in a lifetime.

You have powers you never dreamed of. You can do things you never thought you could do. There are no limitations to what you can do except the limitations
of your own mind.

Successful People Follow Their Plan

Successful People Follow Their Plan

You need a plan to find success.
Wanting success isn't sufficient enough to get it.
You've got to ask yourself, "What are you going to do to get the things you want."

Your problem is to bridge the gap which exists between where you are now and the goal you intend to reach.

You cannot fail with a definite step by step plan, because each step you take will carry you along to the next step, like a track. All you need is the plan, the road map, and the courage to press on to your destination.

You cannot get lost on a straight road.

Fear of the Future

Some fears surface over and over again especially fear of the future.
You tend to project yourself mentally into the next day, week, month,
year, decade, and you visualize yourself coping badly in those times.

What you are seeing is a false image, because it doesn't include Me!

Those gloomy times that you imagine will not come to pass, since My
presence will be with you at all times.

Always Be Prepared For Success

There is no shortage of opportunity.
Everyday you are presented with countless chances to be, or do whatever you desire.

Luck is a matter of preparation meeting opportunity.
Don't miss out on an opportunity because you're not prepared.

Your preparation is absolutely essential.
To achieve success, you must have self discipline.
You must increase your knowledge and develop your skills.

You're always in the right place at the right time when you're prepared.

The Highest Of Distinctions Is Service To Others

The Highest Of Distinctions Is Service To Others

The truly successful person doesn't use others, other people use them.

If you can contribute to others, no matter how small your talent, you too can become successful. The measure of anyone is the number of people that they serve.

Service to others is the essence of success.
No one achieves success without being of service.
All great men and women became successful because they gave some talent or ability in the service of others.

Everybody has to be somebody to somebody to be anybody.

Your Habits Will Push You To Success

First you make your habits, and then your habits make you.

Break those habits that can break you.
Adopt those practices that will become the new habits that will help you achieve

Your habits are a form of exercise.
The harder you work at something, the harder it is to quit.
The easier it is to do, the harder it is to change.

Your habits are either the best of servants or the worst of masters.
You are what you repeatedly do.

Do All Things With Love

Do All Things With Love

Love is the most important ingredient of life.
Your life echoes emptiness without it.
With it, your life vibrates meaning and warmth.

Love will shine through even in hardship.

You will find as you look back upon your life that the moments that stand out, the moments when you have really lived, are the moments when you have done things
in a spirit of love.

If you have it, you don't need to have anything else.
And if you don't have it, it doesn't much matter what else you have.

Treasure the love you receive above everything else.
It will survive long after your wealth and good health have vanished.

The way is not in the sky.
The way is in the heart.

Life in abundance comes only through great love.

No Authority Is Higher Than Reality

No Authority Is Higher Than Reality

Truth isn't a matter of your personal viewpoint.
Learn to see things as they really are, not as you imagine they are.

Wrong is wrong, no matter who does it or who says it.
No matter what you believe, it never changes the facts.
If they are there, the facts always speak for themselves.

The truth does not change because it is, or is not, believed by a majority of people.
If sixty million people say a foolish thing, it's still a foolish thing.
