Many of us try to find happiness in life and you may well achieve happiness through the incredible power of helpful thinking.

You may well be the single of the many thousands perplexed by the claims with the aim of the teachers in the film The Secret kind. While It may well sound nonsensical to selected with the aim of the power of positive thinking has the capability to contract pardon? We desired, you need to find out a better message being displayed in the film. You need to read sandwiched between the outline. Let’s say with the aim of similar to watching the film, I unwavering to apply the power of positive thinking.  I keep an eye on to focus my feelings on road rage. I used to enter my vehicle thinking not far off from other drivers with the aim of approach too close to the rear of my vehicle. This pet-peeve really got under my skin and I in point of fact began to dread driving.

Instead of getting into my car with feelings of anger and dread I unwavering to go my feelings into the opposite direction. I chose to think not far off from the many drivers who keep a safe distance and I besides convinced myself with the aim of everybody who drove too close to my vehicle would go inedible in little schedule.

Following with the aim of, both drivers got barred of the car a violent road rage immediately took place. If you likely such a circumstance to go on, you will kind it go on. That’s the power of our thinking and if you think of helpful feelings, something high-quality will go on. Your measures be an enthusiast of your feelings and feelings. Believe with the aim of this high-quality gadget will go on and it will.

What we are struggling for?
The delight of satisfying ourselves is behind what we succeed in life. Ask an amusement park employee or a farm worker what he or she earns after dedicating a major part of his or her life, ask the same question to the doctor, engineer or any qualified professional. I am sure the reactions will not be the same. Now this means that we are fighting and struggling between satisfaction and dissatisfaction. This is the point where we stand with multiple options, which pathway we need to choose. It’s easy sometimes to analyze what is better for our life but it’s difficult as well when we choose between satisfied life and a life with a regular income.

Point of satisfaction
The most important reason why people run after better income is the economical atmosphere, which isn’t always consistent. As business people don’t plan on current money values but they also consider the variation taking place in financial environment, same happens with an ordinary individual, deciding monthly budget. Sounds like people are more concerned about the money happenings but they have forgotten that earning money is not the point of satisfaction but earning worth is more significant, focusing what we wanted to do for ourselves and for our livelihood.

Running after excellence
Satisfaction cannot be a certification on a piece of paper, we feel it inside ourselves, we get it when we are confirmed that we are doing the right thing and getting the right worth,. Some people say that earning is simply a paycheck for those who are not motivated towards brilliance but they are always motivated towards growing their daily, weekly or monthly paycheck figures. While those who are running after excellence are the successful people and they are the ones who are always satisfied and do a lot more to satisfy themselves referring to their profession or the objective they have in their life.

There are few analysts who stimulate people to make decisions about desiring a path in life which leads to their aspiration what they want to be and achieve. This is the only way we can make ourselves aimed towards our fulfilled existence.

What I believe?
I believe making money is an another aspect of life which may be important to endure the essential necessities of life but being satisfied must be the reason to live, either its about your personal life, family, profession, principles or whatsoever. A person should focus on what is the point to gratify, where he or she will feel persuasive about having a better feeling about what they do or decide or intend.

An anonymous Christian friend of mine who is a member of the same Internet forum I belong to in Dorchester County started a discussion on what we tell children in regard to Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny, and so on. At that time, we were able to take polls, so my friend posted the following question and options in a poll:

Do / Did you lie to your children about Santa, etc?

Yes. 

No.

I don’t consider it a lie.

The graphic right below this gives you the results.

Screen shot by author.

The results show two (8 percent) said yes, five (20 percent) said no, and an overwhelming 72 percent (18) said they did not consider it a lie. 

What I found alarming was not that two said yes, but the majority, eighteen, did not consider it a lie. I would think there is more hope for the two than the eighteen. The eighteen who enjoy falsehood have convinced themselves they have done no wrong. These deceivers have deceived themselves.

Deception is a dangerous poison that blurs the spiritual focus and discernment of those being deceived and the deceivers themselves.

Lying is bad enough, but when parents / guardians / teachers refuse to call a lie a lie, this type of thinking is passed downed to the children under them. I feel this adds to the fact that most people do not really surrender to Christ, and when some do, there are those who treat their belief the same way as they would as believing in The Tooth Fairy or Santa. I described what true belief is in a recent article titled, “Why I Use The Sinner’s Prayer.”

Though this was a very small poll, had millions been polled I would expect the same results. Given the fact that President Barack Obama did absolutely nothing to merit the Nobel Peace Prize, I think the world is getting ready to believe the lie (2 Thessalonians 2:11). This is no wonder when people have foolishly convinced themselves that telling a child Santa is real is not a lie even though it is not the truth. If it is not true, is it not a lie?

Let us make this determination (Proverbs 8:7): “For my mouth shall speak truth; and wickedness is an abomination to my lips.”

Notes:

God willing this article will be part of my Bible GemLight series as apatite002.

Persistence according to chambers dictionary means “keep on doing something in spite of opposition or difficulty”

   According to oxford dictionary to continue to do what you do despite difficulties or opposition, in a way that seem unreasonable

To continue to try despite difficulties especially when people are against you and think that you are unreasonable

To continue for a long period of time without interruption or repeated frequently especially in a way that is annoying and cannot be stopped

The one big thing all big achievers of all time have is to be persistent, about their goals dreams and ambitions, despite numerous critics, oppositions, trials, failures and many more, they still pushed and pressed on hoping, believing and knowing that success was just a reach away, so they never asked themselves this question should I quit now when success is just a reach away?

We young people have one thing at our disposal and that’s time, we can use are time for so many things, but for those that use their time to think have dreams, they like to achieve at particular time and sect of their lives, they dream of so many things, some of them are unrealistic while others tend to be achievable, if this young person is actually reasonable enough he/she gets a paper and pen, takes note and beginning’s research finds out if the dreams are men flying with  capes in the sky or  men flying in the sky in metallic objects, from there they now become goals from dreams, taking note of the time when these goals are achievable , he/she beginning’s to attain these goals, noticing all the things that have to be done, sacrifices that have to be made, and all kinds of training to be done and many more to be successful.

 “Zeal without knowledge is useless”   You need to be knowledgeable about what you are doing.

Getting Counsel about your goals is important, it sets you on the right path in order to avoid mistakes, the wrong choices to be made are drastically cut down due to counseling, you get a little know-how, the work that has to be done is reduced, materials are usually provided or you are told the ones to get.

In the beginning of the pursuit of these dreams of yours, you might begin to face difficulties but do not stop, if you fail get up; the greatness of a man is not only in the things he has achieved but the number of times he fell down and got up to be a better person. The way you carried out the job must had made you fail the first time, that means you have to change motive and plans in approach towards your goals, you must always change motive and notice the result , to avoid problems in the next trail.

You have to be highly disciplined, in order to be successful, you begin to reduce the time and attention you give irrelevant things like, T.V, play time with friends, the time spent on the internet, and many other things  that take our time and add nothing to us, be on the watch out!!

On the road to be a great person, there bound to be oppositions, people telling what you are about to do can’t be done that you should quit, and focus on some more important, they will laugh, discourage and actually stand in your way, just because they can’t stand you at all, or they do not like what you are doing at all, do not listen to them do not let them get into your mind, do not think about what they are saying, always be busy all the time in other to avoid them and the things they say, you might try and convince some of them, but please do not they use your whole time trying to explain your goals to them as this saying goes “you cannot explain how light is to a blind man there is no word that can describe it ”.

DO NOT CALM DOWN TO THINK ABOUT THE NEGATIVITY OR LIST ALL THE DISADVATAGES YOU WILL FACE, NO DON’T!!! ACT FAST AS FAR AS THE DREAMS ARE REALISTIC.

Acknowledge the one who gave you the ideas, ability to attain them and many more, always pray for guidance, He knows everything so ask NOW!!! (Pro 16 vs. 3)

In the name of the pursuit of your ambitions, do not become unrealistic towards your parents, guardians, teachers, coordinators and so on, they know best, they may believe that some things are meant for a particular time, they may think you are not old enough or ready, they may think you are not carrying out the task the right way, their suggestion a times seem unreasonable, always chill and calm down and listen to them. When you disobey them GOD will no longer be for you and you are bound to have problems. Calm down, be patient and never be rude to them they know best a Yoruba proverb says “you can never have enough rags as an old person” that means you can never have enough experience as the older people have they know best and GOD knows why He put them above you, PLEASE ALWAYS LISTEN!!!!!!!

                                                 “SO ALWAYS KEEP AT IT NO MATTER THE OPPOSITION”

“I have held many things in my hands, and I have lost them all; but whatever I have placed in God’s hands, that I still possess.” 

~ Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

We encourage – We want to entertain – We share -

Believe and make a difference.

I have learned that much of my spiritual progress does not come 

directly from God, but through my ability to humble myself and 

hear Him speak through imperfect people.

~Francis Frangipane
The next few days will be about giving thanks, gratitude, staying humble and leaving ego at the side of the road.
Many of our best intentions have been diluted because of being proud or not really listening or watching as life passes us by.  Maybe even more correctly stated we pass life by.  Always in a hurry, not stopping to see the blessings that we truly have been given and the love we have all around us.
Staying humble and taking the time to appreciate our humility is so very important to being able to truly give thanks and appreciate the gratitude and fortune we truly all have.
We are fortunate to have a family as some do not.
We are fortunate to have health as many struggle with illness.
We are fortunate to have a home while so many go homeless.
We are fortunate to have friends yet many are alone.
Yes staying humble and putting pride from our heart and mind is such a important step to true gratitude.
Take time each morning to give thanks and give your humble heart the time to truly listen to the world around you.
You will feel more appreciation for all that has been given.
You will want to soak in the energy of peace and tranquility.
Take that time to be still.
May your humble heart be filled with joy, gratitude and love.May you share this with those who feel it less.
Make that difference and share.
As always smiles to you and yours and have a great day : )

probably the finest sound there is and will last until the day when

 the game is called on account of darkness.

 In this world, a good time to laugh is any time you can.

~Linda Ellerbee

I found this quote to share with you and I laughed. LOL!

In most peoples life Monday is a tough day.  Going back to work after a weekend filled with family.  Going back to school with the thoughts of tests and work assignments on your agenda and the worry of it all and some of it never even existed.  We just anticipated the worst.

That is when laughter is the most effective.

Comedy is defiance. It’s a snort of contempt in the face of fear and anxiety. 

And it’s the laughter that allows hope to creep back on the inhale.

~Will Durst

We all need to laugh more.  Smile more and share these gifts, the simple and sincere gifts that they are.

Laughter is…..

the best medicine for any ache or pain.

Laughter is…..

what you do when you want to confuse your foe.  They will wonder what your up to.

Laughter is…..

a mood enhancer.  Try it and see how quickly your mood takes a turn for the better.

Laughter is….

good for your breathing.  You breathe deeper and exhale deeper.

Laughter is….

good for your family, your relationships.  A no brainer here, a room full of laughter is a great room.

Laughter is…..

an instant depression antidote.  Not the cure for depression mind you but laughter is one good step in the right direction.

Laughter is…..

contagious and when you laugh the world will laugh with you.

Take the time to laugh this day and if you can do it again tomorrow.

Smiles sent your way along with some laughter!  : )  LOL

Are all but dreams, so sad this year

To scrape, to save, to try to buy

All on their lists, but none I fear

~~~~~~~

The year, it’s bad and took a toll

Christmas comes, despite it though

There is no money, no bank roll

No one could save, no bucks to show

~~~~~~~

We can teach the truth of the season

That one special gift we all receive

Let everyone know the one true reason

Why at this time, we must believe

~~~~~~~

Merry Christmas, children, there are no toys

But yet, feel in your heart, the Christmas Joy

~~~~~~~ 

That joy is strong, it can bring smiles

It can fill us all with what we need

Merry Christmas, adults and every child

You’ll feel the joy, if you believe

~~~~~~~

Who would have thought my job be lost

There’re many others who share this, too

We can’t buy happiness at money’s cost

So there’s just one thing that we can do

 ~~~~~~~

Merry Christmas, children, there are no toys

But yet, feel in your heart, the Christmas Joy

That joy is strong, it can bring smiles

It can fill us all with what we need

Merry Christmas, adults and every child

You’ll feel the joy, if you believe
