Some Beautiful Leadership Quotes

Do not follow where the path may lead.
Go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.
=============================================

Leadership: The art of getting someone else to do something
you want done because he wants to do it.

he is content to point the way.

Start with what they know. Build with what they have.
The best of leaders when the job is done, when the task is accomplished,
the people will say we have done it ourselves.
=============================================

The ultimate measure of a man is not
where he stands in moments of comfort,
but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.

To do great things is difficult;
but to command great things is more difficult.

A good general not only sees the way to victory;
he also knows when victory is impossible.

A Special World

A special world for you and me
A special bond one cannot see
It wraps us up in its cocoon
And holds us fiercely in its womb.

Its fingers spread like fine spun gold
Gently nestling us to the fold
Like silken thread it holds us fast
Bonds like this are meant to last.

And though at times a thread may break
A new one forms in its wake
To bind us closer and keep us strong
In a special world, where we belong.

Relationship SECRETS

ANNIVERSARIES : Always celebrate! Whether it's the 1st or the 50th, each year together is a triumph.

APPRECIATION : Let each other know how much you appreciate each other. You may already know but hearing it from each other is always better.

BEST FRIENDS : Be best friends preferably before being boyfriend-girlfriend. Take time to know each other so the relationship will be a deep one. Tell each other about your crushes, dreams and problems. Make sure he/she is your best friend before getting engaged. The strong bond of friendship will help you both survive tough times.

BOND : Make it a point to spend time together often but leave room for each other. Also spend time alone w/ each other, so that at the end of the day you could both share your experiences. This way, you stay interesting with your partner.

CHANGING EACH OTHER : Don't marry an as...le, j.... or a bi.... (an unsuitable person) You'll never change each other.

COMPLIMENTS : Always compliment each other. This will prevent feelings of resentment & thinking that one is being taken for granted.

DATE: Keep doings things that you both enjoy, do them together. Make time & continue to date to keep the romance - look good, smell good to maintain physical attraction

DIFFERENCES : Celebrate differences. Never force your ideologies down each other's throat. Give up trying to turn your partner into you. Accept differences, appreciate them.

FIGHTS : Fight with the aim to resolve the issue. Don't outdo each other. The longer you extend the fight. The more chances that you'll say something hurtful that you don't really mean. As mad as you were w/ your partner, he/she is still the person who laughs at your jokes & thinks you're hot. Hear each other out, don't dig up old issues. Choose your battles. Make sure the fight will be worth it & that something will change in the relationship as a result of the fight.

FLAWS : Know that the perfect person does not exist. Know that just as there are things that you love about him/her, there will be things that will make you go crazy. We are only human with our own flaws.

FUN : Have fun together! This means keeping the fun & spontaneity that was there in the early days. Allow yourselves to get silly - shower together, pee w/the door open etc. Being able to make each other laugh & see the lighter, crazier, absurd side is the best way to get through all the differences in personalities, adjustments in lifestyle & opposing viewpoints.

GOALS : Make sure you have similar goals. It would be difficult to keep your bond intact if your views are complete opposite.

GRUDGES : Quit tabulating grudges. Let it off. Discuss it, then trash it, don't recycle it.

KEEPING IT HOT : Keep it hot by traveling to diff. places together. A new setting will do wonders. Always have skin contact - be it holding hands, a massage or just plain leg rubbing.

HONESTY : Don't lie or hide things. The problem will only get bigger.

KNOW EACH OTHER : Learn each other's interest. It really keeps the conversation flowing!

HUG : A hug can be far better more intimate than a kiss.

IDENTITY : Don't lose your personality - that's why he/she fell in love with you. Have separate interest & activities to keep your individual, & to be able to contribute more to the relationship.

INDEPENDENCE : Having your own income means you're the boss in your life.

IN-LAWS : Make rooms for the in-laws.

INTENTIONS : Wish each other well. Don't wish each other worst.

ISSUESS : peak up about the awkward stuff now, like money & sex. The earlier, the better.

LISTEN : Listen, listen, listen. Hear each other out especially during arguments.

LOOK GOOD : Mind your appearance! Stay fit & healthy for each other.

LOVE : It all boils down to your love, chemistry & respect for each other.

MEMORIES : Remind each other of the old days. Do something that you used to do for each other before. It may even be corny but it made you two together. Experience new things together- from dining into a new restaurant to experiencing street food together to exploring to new places. It's the little surprises that make great memories.

MIND READING : No matter how long you've been together, do not think that you can read each other's mind.

NEEDS : Be good to yourself,then be good to your partner. That's what love is all about. Think about your partner. Will it make him/her happy?
Will she/he enjoy it? Consider each other's feelings. Be very attentive & sensitive to each other's needs, physically & emotionally, that way your partner learns to do the same for you. Never take your partner for granted.

PRIORITIES : If one says it's important, then it is! Prioritize each other among other things!

SPACE : Give each other space. Have dates with your girlfriends, have your boy's night out. If you can't trust each other with this, then don't get married.

SORRY : Say sorry when you're wrong.

SURPRISES : No matter how long you've known each other, be open to surprises, both good or bad.

TEAMWORK : Think for two & always work as a team. Consult each other before making a decision because everything will always affect both of you. Strengthen couple power. In many ways, we have to decide based on what is best for the relationship in favor of our individual selves.

SUPPORT : Support each other's dream. Be willing to follow your passions, support your partner in his/her decisions & create new ones together.
Two heads are better than one.

TALK : Tell each other's stories. Life goes by so fast & its easy to see how easily couple can grow apart. Whenever something funny, scary, exciting or juicy happened to you or to someone you know, tell each other about it & have your partner do the same. Keep each other in the loop of life, even by email if you have to.

Balloons and Angels

Sometimes, it is the smallest acts of kindness that are the most memorable. It was several years ago that this particular event occurred; the reason I remember it because it was my daughter Kathy's birthday.

My children and I were finishing the last minute preparations for Kathy's birthday celebration. At one store we had bought colorful helium balloon with Kathy's favorite character design on it. We had to make one more stop at another store to complete our purchases. I sent out my older daughter and her little brother out to our van while my other daughter and I were waiting at the cashier line.
A very short time later, my older daughter with little brother in tow came running back into the store; upset that Kathy's birthday balloon had escaped while they trying to get into the van. I was tired from shopping, but I sent them back to the vehicle telling them not to worry we would get Kathy another balloon. I paid for our purchases all the while trying to think of the most expedient place to obtain another balloon.

As Kathy and I approached our van a mature looking lady with kindly face came up to us almost of out of thin air. She pressed some folded bills in my hand. She related to me that she had seen what had happened and did not want my older daughter or my younger daughter to be upset at the loss of the balloon. She told us that she was mother, grandmother and great grandmother. Mind you she looked barely old enough to be a grandmother much less a great grandmother.

I thanked her for kindness and attempted to give her the money back; as it was not a problem to get another balloon. She was most insistent because she said "I love children and I like to see them be happy." I was overwhelmed by the kindness of a total stranger that my daughters and I hugged the lady thanking her for kindness. She left so quickly that I was unable to even ask her name. Finally, I looked in my hand what I found was not just a single one dollar bill but four one dollar bills.

I was very touched not by the money, but by this lovely lady's act of kindness and generosity. Because of her kindness it made Kathy's birthday even more special. I truly believe that dear lady at the very least is one of God's earthly angels and who is to say that she wasn't a real angel. How often is it said that we entertain angels unaware.

Life Is A Theater

Invite Your Audience Carefully

Not everyone is healthy enough to have a front row seat in our lives. There are some people in your life that need to be loved from a DISTANCE.

It's amazing what you can accomplish when you let go of, or at least minimize your time with, draining, negative, incompatible, not-going-anywhere relationships/friendships.

Observe the relationships around you. Pay attention.

Which ones lift and which ones lean?
Which ones encourage and which ones discourage?
Which ones are on a path of growth uphill and which ones are going downhill?
When you leave certain people do you feel better or feel worse?
Which ones always have drama or don't really understand, know or appreciate you?

The more you seek quality, respect, growth, peace of mind, love and truth around you...the easier it will become for you to decide who gets to sit in the front row and who should be moved to the balcony of Your Life.

"If you cannot change the people around you, CHANGE the people you are around."

Remember that the people we hang with will have an impact on both our lives and our income. And so we must be careful to choose the people we hang out with, as well as the information with which we feed our minds.

We should not share our dreams with negative people, Nor feed our dreams with negative thoughts.
It's your choice and your life..... It's up to you who and what you let in it......

Trust Did Not Come Easy

Trust did not come easy
Was 'my' way I did go
No one could change me
Not any one that I know.

Trust did not come easy
Most my nights were sleepless
So I looked around me
And saw my life was a mess.

Trust did not come easy
All things I did were wrong
No one really loved me
I wanted to be so strong.

Trust did not come easy
The storms of life did come
Hitting and hurting me
I could not help but feel dumb.

When I saw light, trust came
I gave my strife away
All the storms God did tame,
For I accepted His way.

Precious Words.......

Half of the problem in life is because
We act without thinking.
The rest half because we keep on thinking
without doing the act.

Life is like a flowing river of opportunities.
It is upto you to stand with a spoon or a bucket.

Every morning, leave your worries outside
Your gate, because that’s were the pick up the
Garbage from!!!!

Follow Your Dreams

Trouble arrives in measures,
and we stack it up real high,
until we're convinced,
we have no reason to try.

If you feel defeated,
you're absolutely wrong,
for if you follow your dream,
you could never lose for long.

Ignore the minor set-backs
that pile up and trouble you,
or you will build a mountain,
out of the stones hurled at you.

The future holds great promise,
your destiny unknown,
but God is always helping,
and you're never alone.

Soar bravely toward your goal.
Let nothing darken the way.
You can change your tomorrow,
if you seek your dream today.

Showing Up For Life

The way we walk into a room says a lot about the way we live our lives. When we walk into a room curious about what's happening, willing to engage, and perceiving ourselves as an active participant with something to offer, then we have really shown up to the party. When we walk into a room with our eyes down, or nervously smiling, we are holding ourselves back for one reason or another. We may be hurting inside and in need of healing, or we may lack the confidence required to really be present in the room. Still, just noticing that we're not really showing up, and having a vision of what it will look and feel like when we do, can give us the inspiration we need to recover ourselves.

Even if we are suffering, we can show up to that experience ready to fully engage in it and learn what it has to offer. When we show up for our life, we are actively participating in being a happy person, achieving our goals, and generally living the life our soul really wants. If we need healing, we begin the process of seeking out those who can help us heal. If we need experience, we find the places and opportunities that can give us the experience we need in order to do the work we want to do in the world. Whatever we need, we look for it, and when we find it, we engage in the process of letting ourselves have it. When we do this kind of work, we become lively, confident, and passionate individuals.

There is almost nothing better in the world than the feeling of showing up for our own lives. When we can do this, we become people that are more alive and who have the ability to make things happen in our lives and the lives of the people around us. We walk through the world with the knowledge that we have a lot to offer and the desire to share it.

When We Have Hope

As long as we have hope, we have direction,
the energy to move, and the map to move by.

We have a hundred alternatives,
a thousand paths and an infinity of dreams.

Hopeful, we are halfway to where we want to go;
Hopeless, we are lost forever.

10 Principles Of Life

Stop and ask yourself today, " How do I really feel about myself? " Before you answer read these ten principles.

Better yet, keep them before you daily.

********

(1) Never think or speak negatively about yourself; that puts you in disagreement with God.

********

(2) Meditate on your God-given strengths and learn to encourage yourself, for much of the time nobody else will.

********

(3) Don't compare yourself to anybody else . You're unique, one of a kind, an original. So don't settle for being a copy.

********

(4) Focus on your potential, not your limitations. Remember, God lives in you!

********

(5) Find what you like to do, do well, and strive to do it with excellence.

********

(6) Have the courage to be different. Be a God pleaser, not a people pleaser.

********

(7) Learn to handle criticism. Let it develop you instead of discourage you .

********

( Determine your own worth instead of letting others do it for you. They'll short-change you!

********

(9) Keep your shortcomings in perspective - you're still a work in progress.

********

(10) Focus daily on your greatest source of confidence - the God Who lives in you !

Real Treasure To Be Found

If you're always chasing happiness, it will never be able to find you. Relax, simply give happiness a place to live in you, and it will be in great abundance.

When you put conditions on enjoyment, it turns into just another chore. Let go, and sincerely enjoy the miracle that is your life as it comes to you in each moment.

If you become overly attached to specific results, you set yourself up for disappointment and disillusionment. Be ambitious, yet do not be your ambition.

Sometimes, when things fail to go the way you planned, they turn out better than you could have possibly expected. Welcome life's surprises and choose to see the positive value that is in each one of them.

Don't be too quick to place judgments on the people, situations and events in your life. In everything that comes along, there is an opportunity for you to more fully discover and express your true purpose.

Be open to whatever life brings your way. There is real treasure to be found in it all.

Roles And How We Play Them

Whenever I'm disappointed with my spot in my life, I stop and think about little Jamie Scott. Jamie was trying out for a part in a school play. His mother told me that he'd set his heart on being in it, though she feared he would not be chosen.

On the day the parts were awarded, I went with her to collect him after school. Jamie rushed up to her, eyes shining with pride and excitement.

"Guess what Mum," he shouted, and then said those words that will remain a lesson to me: "I've been chosen to clap and cheer!"

The Ship Of Life

Across the shore awaits a boat

Though sea's are rough,
its still afloat

Raise the sails, held up by mast
Forget the troubles of distant past

As wave crash down upon the deck
Steady the boat; not quite a wreak

Tend the mast, and fix the scrach
light the lantern with one last match

The storm will end,
pull anchor and rope.

look up to see the stars of hope.

Definition Of Love

My definition of love...
is different from the book

My definition of love
is more than just a look

Love is more than a word
more than a song, more than a note

Love is more than a poem
more than anything i've wrote

Love is reaching out to touch someone
to be sure that they're there

Love is leaning in to kiss someone
to remind them that you care

Love is looking her in the eyes
and whispering in her ears

Love is cuddling when she cries
and catching all her tears

Love is the warmth shared between hugs
when everything else is cold

Love is knowing they'll still be there
when everything else is old

Love is hearts beating faster and faster
while everything else is slowed down

Love is singing sweet songs to her
even if hundreds are around

Love is driving through the rain
to help someone through tough times

Love is me wishing that you'll love me too
wishing you'd be mine

Love isn't just holding hands

Love is holding hearts

Love isn't where it ends....

Love is where it starts...

Start Your Day With Positive Notes

Remember you are born to live.
Don't live because you are born!

Don't go the way life takes you...
Take life the way you go!!

======================================================

What we are today is result of our own past actions;
Whatever we wish to be in future depends on our present actions;
Decide how you have to act now.

We are responsible for what we are, whatever we wish ourselves to be.
We have the power to make ourselves.

======================================================

The most difficult phase of life
is not when no one understands you;
It is when you don't understand yourself.

Hardwork helps always.

Powerful Thoughts

YOU HAVE EVERYTHING

If you look at what you do not have in life;
You don't have anything.

If you look at what you have in life;
You have everything.

DEVOTE YOURSELF

So many people walk around with a meaningless life.
They seem half-sleep, even when they're busy
doing things they think are important.
This is because they're chasing the wrong things.

The way you get meaning into your life
is to devote yourself to loving others,
devote yourself to your community around you,
and devote yourself to creating something
that gives you purpose and meaning.

Some Motivational Quotes

Whatever you give to life, it gives you back.
Do not hate anybody.
The hatred which comes out from you will someday come back to you.
Love others. And love will come back to you.

========================================================

For everything you have missed, you have gained something else;
And for everything you gain, you loose something else.
It is about your outlook towards life. You can either regret or rejoice.

========================================================

Arrow goes forward only after pulling in to backward.
Bullet goes forward only after pressing the trigger backward.

Every human being will get happy
only after facing the difficulties in their life path....

So do not afraid to face your difficulties.
They will push you forward.

Attractiveness

For attractive lips, Speak words of kindness.

For lovely eyes, Seek out the good in people.

For a slim figure, Share your food with the hungry.

For beautiful hair, Let a child run his or her fingers through it once a day.

For poise, Walk with the knowledge that you will never walk alone.

People, even more than things, have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed, and redeemed; Never throw out anybody.

Remember, If you ever need a helping hand, you'll find one at the end of your arm. As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands, one for helping yourself, the other for helping others.


The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears,

The figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair.

The beauty of a woman must be seen from in her eyes,

Because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides.

The beauty of a woman is not in a facial mole,

But true beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul.

It is the caring that she lovingly gives, the passion that she shows.

And the beauty of a woman, with passing years, only grows!

Inspiring Thoughts

WHAT YOU DID

The world will provide you with stones everyday.

What you build out of it, is your choice...
Wall, Road or a Bridge...
You may even choose to do nothing.

At the end, world will know you by what you did with it.

SEASONS OF LIFE

Life at any time can become difficult.
Life at any time can become easy.

Good or Bad, they are seasons of life.
It all depends upon, how you take on life and adjust to these seasons.

LEADING YOU TO LIGHT

The road will be dark; and you might not know the way,
Yet, with the goal in sight; be certain you won't stray.
It will give you all the strength; and will take you through.

Keep your eyes upon the goal, keep it always in your sight.
It will help you don the crooked road, and lead you to the light.

Positive Thoughts

All That You Do

Don't go about looking for your reason to live
or finding the purpose of your existence.

The only reason to be alive is to enjoy life.
And enjoy all that you do in life.


Don't Believe

Don't believe because someone said it to you.
Don't believe because its a generally held belief.
Don't believe because it is written in books.
Don't believe because it is of divine origin.
Don't believe because someone else believes it.

Believe only what you see, what you test and judge to be true.

One day you might see yourself walking alone on a new path.

Faith

The fields were parched and brown from lack of rain, and the crops lay wilting from thirst. People were anxious and irritable as they searched the sky for any sign of relief. Days turned into arid weeks. No rain came.

The ministers of the local churches called for an hour of prayer on the town square the following Saturday. They requested that everyone bring an object of faith for inspiration.

At high noon on the appointed Saturday, the townspeople turned out en masse, filling the square with anxious faces and hopeful hearts. The ministers were touched to see the variety of objects clutched in prayerful hands — holy books, crosses, and rosaries.

When the hour ended, as if on magical command, a soft rain began to fall. Cheers swept the crowd as they held their treasured objects high in gratitude and praise. From the middle of the crowd one faith symbol seemed to overshadow all the others: A small nine-year-old child had brought an umbrella.

Two Days Without Worry

There are two days in every week about which we should not worry, two days which should be kept free from fear and apprehension.

One of these days is Yesterday with all its mistakes and cares, its faults and blunders, its aches and pains. Yesterday has passed forever beyond our control. All the money in the world cannot bring back Yesterday. We cannot undo a single act we performed; we cannot erase a single word we said. Yesterday is gone forever.

The other day we should not worry about is Tomorrow with all its possible adversities, its burdens, its large promise and its poor performance; Tomorrow is also beyond our immediate control. Tomorrow's sun will rise, either in splendor or behind a mask of clouds, but it will rise.Until it does, we have no stake in Tomorrow, for it is yet to be born. This leaves only one day, Today. Any person can fight the battle of just one day. It is when you and I add the burdens of those two awful eternities, Yesterday and Tomorrow that we break down. It is not the experience of Today that drives a person mad, it is the remorse or bitterness of something which happened Yesterday and the dread of what Tomorrow may bring.

Let us, therefore, Live but one day at a time.

Some Great Quotes to Start Your Day

We now know that the true meaning of responsibility is response able or ability to respond. Whatever we may think, say, do, or feel - these are our responses for which we, and no one else, are responsible. This is easy to see but hard to live, for we have been taught to believe and think the opposite. So we don't consciously choose our response, we react instead, and then we blame others for our reaction. No wonder we feel imprisoned by others and our circumstances. The enlightened, on the other hand, have broken the spell, they see the illusion. They take full responsibility for their response abilities and as a consequence, they always hold their own destiny in their own hands. They are free spirits.
~ Bramha Kumaris, Mt. Abu


We come into this world crying while all around us are smiling. May
we so live that we go out of this world smiling while everybody
around us is weeping.
~ Persian proverb


Introversion brings empowerment of the self. Just as a tortoise withdraws from the external environment after its work is done, we too need to find time for ourselves. Amidst the activity of the day, we need to make time to look within and find the beauty that is hidden there. When we do this as a practice it brings a positive experience that empowers the self. We need to give ourselves a little.
~ Unknown


Don't be too timid and squeamish about your actions. All life is an experiment.
~ Ralph Waldo Emerson


The one who works to remove the sorrow of others is the one who is loved by all. When there is the one aim of helping to remove the sorrow of others, there will be nothing negative while dealing with others. There will also be no expectations from others. Working with the natural desire to bring benefit to as many as possible, enables one to continue to contribute to whatever extent possible. When we are able to have this one desire of helping others be more happy, We are able to make a contribution for others' happiness and progress. We then find that others naturally appreciate our selfless contribution and their good wishes help us feel light and experience progress.
~ Bramha Kumaris, Mt. Abu

Change

"The important thing is this: to be able at any moment to sacrifice what we are for what we could become."

Charles Du Bos takes full aim at the infamous "comfort zone", wherein we may not like where we Are, and we might even grumble about it, but we choose to hang on to what we know rather than take a leap forward into uncertainty. Yet it is only in letting go of that we have that we can grab hold of what we might become. Better. Kinder. More successful. Healthier. More self-confident. Whatever transformation we wish to make, we must first leave behind the old before becoming the new.

Self-Esteem

What is your value? Surprisingly, many of us place a low value on ourselves, and that devalues everything we do. That is called low self-esteem. And when we value ourselves lowly, others will value us lowly too - reinforcing our own low opinion of ourselves.

Make the decision today to place a high value on yourself. Yes you are worth it. When someone asks for help, make sure they appreciate the high value of your help. Don't be obnoxious, of course. Don't refuse to help. Just make sure they know that your help is valuable.

"Of course I will help you. I am busy today, but for you I will make the time." In so doing, they know you are giving them something of high value...and that you also value them to share such a valuable resource as your time and efforts with them.

Learn From Wrong

It is your right to be wrong, but you have no right to wrong someone else.

What does that mean?

When you are wrong, when you make a mistake, you have the wonderful chance to learn and to improve yourself. It is both your right and your responsibility to improve yourself.

It is, however, neither your right nor your responsibility to improve the person sitting next to you. That's her right and her responsibility.

So be wrong as often as you must, and learn from it. But don't wrong others; that's their job.

Try, Try & Get Success

I have always seen life for what it really is.
Ever since I was a child growing up, hard times are all I know.

I had to sit back and watch my mother work from sunset to sundown.
I had to sit back and watch my mother work herself to her grave.

Nothing ever came easy for her.
She always had a heart and kept a smile on her face.

Life is like a newborn baby struggling to come out of its mother's womb,
life is a struggle true enough, but after all the struggling you have done,

and after all the hell you have been through, there is success.
Life is nothing but a big struggle, but just keep the faith and focus on your goals.

Don't let life beat you or you will be walking around like zombies.
Keep on pushing, keep on trying, life can be whatever you make it to be.

But life can also be a bowl of cherries with whip cream and apple pie.
I say this again; life is what you make of it.

You can achieve or conquer anything it throws at you,
you can't quit or give up, you have got to keep on working,

look higher some way, some how you are going to make it.

Belt Of Truth

Ephesians 6:14 Stand firm, with the buckle of truth buckled around your waist

Today I had the misfortune to put on a belt that was too tight .Ouch! That is a terrible feeling! I had towear the belt, because it went with the outfit… so suffer through it I did! I let it out to the last notch, and it was tolerable as long as I stood up. If I sat down, however, something happened and it almost took my breath away.

Boy, was that ever uncomfortable. One part of the Armor of God is the belt of truth. Have you ever compromised it?? For instance- you're ready to have a day filled with truth and good news and then -- something happens. Perhaps a friend asks you a question and the truthful answer would hurt her. You may reason…a little slanting of this one answer won't hurt, Lord, will it?

Or, a situation may arise when telling the truth puts you in an awkward position. What do you do?Perhaps your child asks you a question about the Easter Bunny, Santa Claus or the tooth fairy. How can you answer these questions without compromising your promise to God about not lying? Each time you fudge a little or slant the exactness, your belt of truth gets a little tighter. You feel uneasy in your spirit, and know you have not spoken accurately. Telling one white lie and then another builds a foundation for lies to roll off your tongue more easily each time. It is not a good habit to succumb to.

I do not have the answer about how you should speak to your friends in truth, or discuss delicate issues with your children. I do know, however, that God calls us to speak the truth, and we are to do so each and every day. That is why He told us about this "belt of truth" that we should wear every day- it is part of His armor to combat Satan. I know I need this piece of Holy armor, and pray I will never stretch or bend the truth in such a manner that it cuts of my breath, the way my belt did on my outfit today.

Consider this....if you put on the belt of truth each day, would it be very long before you felt a "real pinching" from the words you have spoken? Half-truths fall off our tongue way too easily- at least for me. We must be on guard about this subject. Don't you agree?

A Good Stretch

My strength is made perfect in weakness. — 2 Corinthians 12:9

Physical therapy is a painful necessity after knee-replacement surgery. Part of my routine involved my therapist pulling my knee back into a bent position and holding it taut. "Good stretch?" Mason would ask encouragingly. "No," I winced, "not that good!"

I soon learned, however, how important it is to stretch one's muscles and joints — sometimes causing discomfort — to gain full range of motion.

That wasn't the first time I've been "stretched" outside my comfort zone. God has sometimes urged me to share my faith with someone I didn't know very well, or to give an offering that was far beyond what I usually give or to confront someone about a situation.

Abraham's life illustrates the importance of faith when God asks us to move beyond our comfort zone. "By faith Abraham obeyed when he was called . . . He went out, not knowing where he was going" (Heb. 11:8).

While we stretch our spiritual muscles, we may feel discomfort. But God assures us, "My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness" (2 Cor. 12:9). Our adequacy — our sufficiency — is found in Him (3:5).

When you boldly step out in faith and obedience to God, you may be surprised at how a "good stretch" can strengthen your spiritual life!
~ Cindy Hess Kasper

To stretch our faith, to take the risk,

God says we will succeed

If we but ask Him for the strength
And grace that we will need.

Best Motivational Quotes on Strength

Strength does not come from winning.
Your struggles develop your strengths.
When you go through hardships
and decide not to surrender,
that is strength."

~ Arnold Schwarzenegger

=========================================================

Don´t shy away from challenges ... facing them is the only way you can improve.
Look inside for your strength, then share that strength with others.
Always maintain your sense of humor, share it with others when things get too intense.
Make the play first, then decide if it was impossible.
Admit your mistakes. It shows character and inner strength.
Remember, loyalty is a two-way street.

~ Unknown

=========================================================

The method to finish a weakness is to be detached from it. When there is some weakness working within that has to be overcome, it is very essential for one to get detached from it, that means not to identify with the weakness. If there is an identification with the weakness, it is further strengthened and there is the inability to get rid of it. Since it is there in the consciousness, it is visible in the words and actions too. When we are free from the identification with the weakness, we are able to bring about a change very quickly. We find it very easy to stabilise ourselves in the awareness of our strength and allow that strength to be revealed in all our words and actions. There is no heaviness of the weakness nor is there the feeling of having to give up something, but transformation takes place very easily.

~ Bramha Kumaris, Mt, Abu

Unique Quotes on Faith

Faith in one's progress brings contentment. Even when the situation is not according to what is expected, there is contentment for the one who has faith in his own progress. Such a person will not just sit back waiting for things to change nor will he just curse his fate. Instead he'll do his best and use all his resources in bettering the situation. The understanding that all life's situations are a training for him, automatically keeping him content in all situations. There is naturally an experience of constant progress and a feeling of having gained something from all situations.

- Bramha Kumaris, Mt. Abu
===========================================================

Faith has the power to change even hopeless situations into hopeful ones. There is so much power in having faith that even in the most hopeless situations we can keep ourselves peaceful and happy. When we are able to maintain this stage we find that things change for the better too. Faith works to change the situation. Let us think of one situation that we are not happy with. Let us then accept the situation as it is without expecting it to change. This acceptance will give the faith that things are happening for the best. With this faith even the most hopeless situation will turn positive.

- Bramha Kumaris, Mt. Abu

===========================================================

Sweetness is the ability to see the good in all things. Deep within each and every situation is something good. It only takes a little patience to look within and find it. When we are able to understand the secret behind what is happening, it automatically brings sweetness in our lives. Thus we will be able to spread this to others too. Whatever happens throughout the day, we should be able to see the good in it. Even if we are not able to discover something good at that moment, we should maintain the faith that whatever happens is for the best.

- Bramha Kumaris, Mt. Abu

Practice Makes You Perfect

Someone noted that their life and their bank both have something in common - they get out of them about as much as they put in. Which, as far as my bank is concerned, isn't much! But it means I can get a great deal of joy and satisfaction out of life if I am careful about what I put into living.

Gary Player for years was a great competitor in national and international golf tournaments. People constantly said to him, "I'd give anything if I could hit a golf ball like you."

Upon hearing that comment one day, Player responded impatiently: "No, you wouldn't. You'd do anything to hit a golf ball like me, if it were easy! Do your know what you have to do to hit a golf ball like me? You've got to get up at 5:00 every morning, go out to the golf course, and hit a thousand golf balls! Your hands start bleeding, and you walk to the clubhouse and wash the blood off your hands, slap a bandage on it, and go out and hit another thousand golf balls! That is what it takes to hit a golf ball like me!"

His goal was to be at the top of his sport. That lofty dream requires practice, practice and more practice. If your desire, on the other hand, is to excel at living - to give and receive love, to experience joy and to develop fulfilling relationships - then how much of you will you put into your dream? These things, too, are possible with practice.

Moral :

Do you actually practice love, even when you don't feel like it?
Do you practice finding joy even when you're unhappy?
Do you work at difficult relationships?

It is not always easy, but the payoff is worth it!

Try Till You Win

Every time we fall in life, we give up.
We give up our dreams, give up ourselves.

Waves are inspiring, not because they rise and fall;
But because each time they fall, they never fail to rise again.

To win, you need to try. Try till you win.

Do All the Good You Can

Someone advised, "If you can't be kind, at least have the decency to be vague." But kindness and goodness extend far beyond how we talk about each other. The person who dares to be good -- and DO good -- may have to find the heart to stand up and be counted.

Not too long into the American Civil War the Union finally won a victory at Antietam. President Lincoln used the occasion to produce a proclamation to free American slaves. He called his cabinet together and laid the document before them. He had been shaking the hands of well-wishers all morning and his arm and hand were stiff. He rested his arm and spoke to Secretary of State William Seward.

"If my name ever goes into history, it will be for this act, and my whole soul is in it. If my hand trembles when I sign the Proclamation, all who examine the document hereafter will say, 'He hesitated.'"

Then he picked up a pen and signed "Abraham Lincoln" in bold writing. That signature, coupled with a later Union victory, changed the course of history forever. American slaves were finally freed.

It's not always about being nice. It's about doing the right thing. And it was never put better by anyone than by eighteenth century church reformer John Wesley:


Moral :

"Do all the good you can, by all the means you can, in all the ways you can, in all the places you can, at all the times you can, to all the people you can, as long as ever you can."

Our Perception

It's our perception,
yes our view
that describes
to me and you.

The way we see it
within our way
will determine
our day to day.

It's our perception
that makes or breaks
the days successes
or days mistakes.

It's our perception
within our mind
that sometimes paints
the views we find.

So start trying
to perceive the view
better than ever
and it might come true.
