When You Believe

When we believe Faith is believing the unseen,
Believing what you can’t touch,
Knowing God is on your side,
And he loves us all so much,

God’s word is full of life and love,
And it shows us a better way,
So let’s get in tune to God,
And we do this as we pray,

Knock and it shall be open,
Seek and God says we shall find,
Trust and believe in the word of God,
And he will make our lives shine,

His word works on the inside,
And ready to receive,
Once the heart has been touched,
That Is When We Believe

That is When We Believe

~Honesty~

Honesty - people only like it 'till it hurts

Honestly, it's accepted as long as it comforts

Honesty - it's to be expected

Honestly, it's not even recommended

Honesty - keeps you happy

Honestly, it makes your outlook crappy

Honesty - can put a smile on your face

Honestly, it'll put you in your place

Honesty Billy Joel

~Partner or best friend~

Treat your partner better than your best friend

Why are you with this person???

Because you think she/he is the most wonderful person in the whole world and you'd rather spend your life with her/him than with anyone else.

So why would you not treat her/him better than your other friends or best friend??

If someone speaks rudely or abruptly to or about your partner...

What would you do????

Do you ignore it or you will stand firm for your partner?

This is the person you love more than anyone else.

If you don't go extra mile to do something for him/her, I presume you won't go extra mile for anyone else too.

Certainly he/she should come top of your list in anything.

~~NERVE~~

You can make it, if you have got the nerve to try...

You can't be beaten at anything until you quit in your own mind..

there is no defeat except from within..

you have no really insurmountable barrier except

your own inherent weakness of purpose..

Consider yourself on a very long journey..

Sustain your personal vision of success until you achieve it..

In the end, you can only fall if you don't try..

Success is a road paved with perseverance..

Winning isn't everything but wanting to is..

The odds are with you if you keep on trying..

THERE IS NO FAILURE EXCEPT IN NOT TRYING!

~Where are we moving to?~

We have bigger houses and smaller families; more conveniences, but less time; we have more degrees, but less sense; more knowledge, but less judgement; more experts, but more problems; more medicine, but less wellness.

We drink too much, spend too recklessly, laugh too little, drive too fast, get too angry too quickly, stay up too late, get up too tired, read too little, watch TV too much, and pray too seldom.

We talk too much, love too seldom, and hate too often. We've learned how to make a living, but not a life; We've added years to life, not life to years.

We've been all the way to the moon and back, but have trouble crossing the street to meet the new neighbor. We've conquered outer space, but not inner space; We've done larger things, but not better things.

We've cleaned up the air, but polluted the soul; we've split the atom, but not our prejudice. We write more, but learn less; we plan more, but accomplish less.

We've learned to rush, but not to wait; we have higher incomes, but, lower morals.

We build more computers to hold more information to produce more copies than ever, but have less communication; We've become long on quantity, but short on quality.

These are the days of two incomes, but more divorce; of fancier houses, but broken homes.

These are the days of quick trips, disposable diapers, throw away morality, one night stands, overweight bodies, and pills that do everything from cheer, to quiet, to kill. Where are we heading ....?

If we die tomorrow, the company that we are working for could easily replace us in a matter of days. But the family we left behind will feel the loss for the rest of their lives.

And come to think of it, we pour ourselves more into work than to our family an unwise investment indeed.

So what is the morale of the story????

Don't work too hard... and you know what's the full word of family?

FAMILY = (F)ATHER (A)ND (M)OTHER, (I) (L)OVE (Y)OU

My Love and My Time

My Love and My Time

Once upon a time, there was an island where all the feelings lived: Happiness, Sadness, Knowledge, and all of the others, including LOVE. One day it was announced to the feelings that the island would sink, so all constructed boats and left. Except for LOVE.

LOVE was the only one who stayed. LOVE wanted to hold out until the last possible moment.

When the island had almost sunk, LOVE decided to ask for help.

Richness was passing by Love in a grand boat. LOVE said,
"Richness, can you take me with you?"
Richness answered, "No, I can't.

There is a lot of gold and silver in my boat. There is no place here for you."
LOVE decided to ask Vanity who was also passing by in a beautiful vessel."Vanity, please help me!"
"I can't help you, LOVE. You are all wet and might damage my boat," Vanity answered.

Sadness was close by so LOVE asked, "Sadness, let me go with you."
"Oh . . . LOVE, I am so sad that I need to be by myself!"

Happiness passed by LOVE, too, but she was so happy that she did not even hear when LOVE called her.

Suddenly, there was a voice, "Come, LOVE, I will take you." It was an elder. So blessed and overjoyed, LOVE even forgot to ask the elder where they were going. When they arrived at dry land, the elder went her own way. Realizing how much was owed the elder,

LOVE asked Knowledge, another elder, "Who Helped me?"
"It was Time," Knowledge answered.
"Time?" asked LOVE. "But why did Time help me?"
Knowledge smiled with deep wisdom and answered,

"Because only Time is capable of understanding how valuable LOVE is."

~Echoes~

"A son and his father were walking on the mountains.
Suddenly, his son falls, hurts himself and screams: "AAAhhhhhhhhhhh!!!"
To his surprise, he hears the voice repeating, somewhere in the mountain: "AAAhhhhhhhhhhh!!!"
Curious, he yells: "Who are you?"
He receives the answer: "Who are you?"
And then he screams to the mountain: "I admire you!"
The voice answers: "I admire you!"
Angered at the response, he screams: "Coward!"
He receives the answer: "Coward!"
He looks to his father and asks: "What's going on?"
The father smiles and says: "My son, pay attention."
Again the man screams: "You are a champion!"
The voice answers: "You are a champion!"
The boy is surprised, but does not understand.
Then the father explains: "People call this ECHO, but really this is LIFE.
It gives you back everything you say or do.
Our life is simply a reflection of our actions.
If you want more love in the world, create more love in your heart.
If you want more competence in your team, improve your competence.
This relationship applies to everything, in all aspects of life;
Life will give you back everything you have given to it."

YOUR LIFE IS NOT A COINCIDENCE. IT'S A REFLECTION OF YOU!"

~True Love~

True love is not true and very few people find true love in their life time.
Boyfriend and girlfriend left each other without good reasons,
they sometimes ask who are they meant to be,
who is the right one for them, who is their destiny, and where is fate going to lead them. Many times they want to marry the girl/boy that they really love, but sometimes they went to leave the girl/boy.
Ex-boyfriend and Ex-girlfriend are trying to bring back what they used to have after separation, but did not really care when their love ones was still there with them.
Finding true love is really very hard now a days due to the fact that each individual is stubborn in their own ways.

~The theatre~

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......

A Lesson in Life

Everything happens for a reason. Nothing happens by chance or by means of good or bad luck. Illness, injury, love, lost moments of true greatness and sheer stupidity all occur to test the limits of your soul. Without these small tests, if they be events, illnesses or relationships, life would be like a smoothly paved, straight, flat road to nowhere.

If someone hurts you, betrays you , or breaks you heart, forgive them. For they have helped you learn about trust and the importance of being cautious to who you open your heart to.

If someone loves you, love them back unconditionally, not only because they love you, but because they are teaching you to love and opening your heart and eyes to things you would have never seen or felt without them.

Make every day count. Appreciate every moment and take from it everything that you possibly can, for you may never be able to experience it again.

Talk to people you have never talked to before, and actually listen. Hold your head up because you have every right to. Tell yourself you are a great individual and believe in yourself, for if you don't believe in yourself, no one else will believe in you either.

You can make of your life anything you wish. Create your own life and then go out and live it.

I NEED YOU

My friend, I need you now

Please take me by the hand.

Stand by me in my hour of need,

Take time to understand.

Take my hand, dear friend,

And lead me from this place.

Chase away my doubts and fears,

Wipe the tears from off my face.

Friend, I cannot stand alone.

I need your hand to hold,

The warmth of your gentle touch

In my world that's grown so cold.

Please be a friend to me

And hold me day by day.

Because with your loving hand in mine,

I know we'll find the way.

BE THANKFUL

Be thankful that you don't already have everything you desire. If you did, what would there be to look forward to?

Be thankful when you don't know something, for it gives you the opportunity to learn.

Be thankful for the difficult times. During those times you grow.

Be thankful for your limitations, because they give you opportunities for improvement.

Be thankful for your mistakes. They will teach you valuable lessons.

Be thankful when you're tired and weary, because it means you've made a difference.

It's easy to be thankful for the good things.

A life of rich fulfillment comes to those who are also thankful for the setbacks.

Find a way to be thankful for your troubles, and they can become your blessings.

Life

Work hard at what you like to do and try to overcome all obstacles

Laugh at your mistakes and praise yourself for learning from them

Pick some flowers and appreciate the beauty of nature

Say hello and enjoy the people you know

Don't be afraid to show your emotions laughing and crying make you feel better

Love your beloved one and family with your entire being........

they are the most important part of your life

Feel the calmness on a quiet sunny day

Find a rainbow and live your world of dreams.........

always remember life is better than it seems

Appreciating Our Past

It is easy to be negative about past mistakes and unhappiness. But it is much more healing to look at ourselves and our past in the light of experience, acceptance, and growth.

Our past is a series of lessons that advance us to higher levels of living and loving. The relationships we entered, stayed in, or ended taught us necessary lessons.

Some of us have emerged from the most painful circumstances with strong insights about who we are and what we want. Our mistakes? Necessary. Our frustrations, failures, and sometimes stumbling attempts at growth and progress? Necessary too. Each step of the way, we learned. We went through exactly the experiences we need to, to become who we are today. Each step of the way, we progressed. Is our past a mistake? No. The only mistake we can make is mistaking that for the truth.

Today, God, help me let go of negative thoughts I may be harboring about my past circumstances or relationships. I can accept, with gratitude, all that has brought me to today.

JUDGE

“It is just as cowardly to judge an absent person as it is wicked to strike a defenseless one. Only the ignorant and narrow-minded gossip, for they speak of persons instead of things.”


“Never utter these words: 'I do not know this, therefore it is false.' One must study to know; know to understand; understand to judge.”

~~The worst thing you can do is not to try~~

Your difficulty and the difficulty of every individual

who ever desired to achieve anything worthwhile, comes in the movement..

Don't always be intending to live a new life, but never find the time to begin living it..

Most people fail because they never get started..

They don't go .. They don't overcome inertia..

They don't begin..

Begin to free yourself at once by doing all that is possible with the means you have...

As you proceed in this spirit the way will be opened for you to do more...

The courage to begin separates achievement from dreams.

~~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.

Your range of available choices right now is limitless...

Look at things as they can be..

NEVER SAY NEVER

~When you believe you can .... YOU CAN~

Why be afraid of whats life has to offer you..
if you believe that life is worth living..
your belief will help create the fact..

Success is a state of the mind..
if you want to be successful..
start thinking of yourself as being successful..

The barrier between you and success
is not something that exists in the real world..
Its simply composed of doubts about your ability
your only limits to your realization of
tomorrow will be your doubts of today
you are what you believe yourself to be...
