YOU CAN EDUCATE ANYONE TO GAIN POWER BUT NEVER CAN YOU MAKE A PERSON VIRTUOUS WITH ANY MEANS. IT HAS TO COME FROM THE HEART OF THE PERSON, AND THE PERSEVERANCE OF THAT PERSON TO WALK THE PATH OF VIRTUE.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
CHARACTER IS NOT SOMETHING YOU DEVELOP OVERNIGHT. IT DEVELOPS FOR A LIFETIME. CHARACTER IS A PRODUCT OF ALL THE EXPERIENCES OF A PERSON AND HIS/HER RESPONSE TO THESE EXPERIENCES. YOU CANNOT DEVELOP GOOD CHARACTER WITHOUT SELF DISCIPLINE, AND THE PERSEVERANCE TO DO WHAT IS GOOD. REGARDING SELF MASTERY, IT IS EASIER TO BECOME RULER OF A NATION, THAN TO RULE ONESELF.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
IT IS EASIER TO BECOME MASTER OF CONTINENTS, THAN BECOME THE MASTER OF ONESELF. THE GREATEST ALLY AND FOE IS ONE--- IT IS THE SELF.<br />IT IS EASIER TO FIGHT AN ARMY THAN TO FIGHT ONESELF. THUS, THE ONE WHO MASTERS ONESELF IS BETTER THAN THE RULER OF NATIONS.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
TO SUBJUGATE THE SELF WILL REQUIRE ALL YOUR WILL, ALL YOUR STRENGTH, AND ALL YOUR MIGHT. FOR MANY ARE PUT INTO RUIN BECAUSE OF THEIR SELVES OUT OF CONTROL. THUS, IMPORTANT TO HAVE SELF CONTROL MOST OF THE TIME. IF ONE IS OUT OF CONTROL, BETTER HAVE A PLACE OF SILENCE WHERE YOU ARE ALONE AND FIGHT THE SELF- TO CONTROL IT, AND SUBDUE IT.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
FOR IF THE SELF IS UNCONTROLLED, YOU HAVE A VERY DANGEROUS MONSTER INSIDE YOU, THAT CAN PUT YOU TO RUIN, AND EVEN LEAD YOU TO YOUR DEATH. FOR EVERY UNCONTROLLED ASPECT OF THE SELF, IS THE PERSONIFICATION OF THE DEVIL.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
ALL HUMAN BEINGS HAVE DEMONS AND DEVILS INSIDE.... FOR EVERY MANIFESTATION OF THE UNCONTROLLED ASPECT OF THE SELF IS A DEVIL/DEMON. SATAN, THE ENEMY OF HUMANITY, HAS ITS RESIDENCE INSIDE THE FLESH OF EVERY HUMAN BEING AND THAT SATAN USES THE FLESH TO CAUSE THE SOUL TO TURN AWAY FROM GOD AND THAT SATAN WILL DO WHATEVER MEANS NECESSARY TO ACQUIRE THE SOUL THAT RESIDES IN THE HUMAN BODY.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
THUS, THERE WILL ALWAYS BE A CONSTANT STRUGGLE BETWEEN THE FLESH AND THE SPIRIT. THE FLESH WILL TRY TO PULL THE SPIRIT DOWN TO RUIN. WHILE THE SPIRIT WILL TRY TO CONTROL THE FLESH AND GAIN MASTERY OF IT.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
THE TWO OPPOSITES WILL BATTLE INSIDE US... AND WHOEVER WINS WILL GAIN CONTROL.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
BUT LIKE THE NIGHT AND DAY, THEY TAKE TURNS WHO WILL DOMINATE FOR THE TIME BEING.BUT WHEN HUMAN BEINGS CHOSE DARKNESS, AND TURN AWAY FROM GOD. THEN THAT HUMAN BEING WILL BE RUINED AND BY CHOOSING EVIL, THAT HUMAN BEING HAS FORFEITED HIS SOUL.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
BUT MANY IN THIS WORLD CHOSE DARKNESS. THEY ARE COMFORTABLE IN DARKNESS BECAUSE OF THIS, THEY EXIST, BUT DO NOT LIVE. THEY ARE LIVING DEAD.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
IF YOU WILL OBSERVE, MANY ARE LIKE THAT WHO ARE JUST LIKE ROBOTS. THEY ARE UNDER THE SPELL OF EVIL, THAT THEY SEEM TO BE NOT WAKING UP.<br />THEY DO NOT LIVE FOR A HIGHER PURPOSE.THEY SIMPLY DO NOT CARE.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
WHAT IS IMPORTANT TO THESE PEOPLE IS SELF GRATIFICATION. AS LONG AS THEY GRATIFY ONESELF, NOTHING ELSE MATTERS.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
THESE PEOPLE HAVE LOST THEIR TRUE PURPOSE, AND THEIR TRUE SELF WORTH. THEY HAVE SHORTCHANGED THEMSELVES OF THE THINGS THAT WILL FALL TO RUIN, RATHER THAN TO SEEK THE ETERNAL. FOR THEIR LACK OF SELF DISCIPLINE, THEY WILL BE RUINED. FOR LACK OF SELF MASTERY, THEY ARE SLAVES TO THEMSELVES...<br />THUS THEY REALLY DIE THAN LIVE.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
THOUGH LIVING, THEY ARE ALREADY DEAD AND I THINK MANY WILL NOT EVER MASTER EVEN THIS DEMON OF THE SELF: THE LOVE FOR MONEY.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
IF YOU WILL EVER COME TO THE POINT TO MASTER THE DEMON CALLED LOVE FOR MONEY, THEN YOU ARE IN YOUR FIRST STEP TO SELF MASTERY. THOSE WHO SELL THEIR BELONGINGS SO THAT THEY HAVE SOMETHING TO SHARE TO THE POOR AND THE NEEDY ARE CONSIDERED LUNATICS AND CRAZY IN THIS WORLD.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
BECAUSE MANY IN THIS WORLD LOVE THEMSELVES MORE THAN OTHERS THAT THEY CANNOT EVEN SACRIFICE FOR THE GOOD OF OTHERS.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
THEY ARE UNDER THE POWER OF THE EVIL ONE AND THE INFLUENCE OF THE EVIL ONE IS GREAT, THAT THEY CANNOT JUST SLIP AWAY FROM IT. AND EVEN IF YOU ACQUIRE GREAT POWER IF YOU FAIL IN MASTERING ONESELF, YOU WILL BE RUINED.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
YOUR SELF WILL DESTROY YOURSELF IN THE END... IF YOU DO NOT MASTER YOURSELF.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
- hope this sharing will help. it will take a lifetime or more than a lifetime to master the self but those who master it, will be enlightened, and be free from desires.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
When this happens, life and death will not matter anymore... for the one who masters the self will see that death and life are one and the same.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
They are the 2 sides of the same coin but to those who cannot master the self... they will not understand that all is one, and one is all... and that nothing and all are the same and definitely, to the one who cannot master the self, that one cannot understand, that all is an illusion, and nothing is real....<br />that what we hold dear is nothing... and what we put aside is all and by our uncontrolled pursuits, we are entrapped in a prison of illusion, and continue to suffer over and over again... that is what happens if you cannot master yourself, you will be under a curse.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; display: inline; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-top: 6px;">
A kind of curse that every moment of your life is a nightmare, but you love the nightmares... that you come to be at home with it. Thus, the absolute truth, when we realize it, will set us free.</div>
<div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; display: inline; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-top: 6px;">

Always treat all with respect: from kings to garbage man for there are no difference between them. Accept in piety and no matter how high we rose or how low we fall, we all have to answer to our Almighty God in the judgment day. Remember, we are sojourners, pilgrims, & travelers. This world is only temporary. Let's choose to make a difference in someone else's life starting today.</span><br />

Love everyone just for the sake of our Loving God.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.3199996948242px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
Some people aren't as sweet as they look. What's the use of looking good from the outside when you're so bitter from the inside. They are something in front of you and something else behind your back. Before you sleep at night, think about what you did today? Since you woke up, did u hate anyone? or did u make anyone smile?</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.3199996948242px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
FORGIVE everyone and Sleep with a CLEAN HEART.</div>
<div class="text_exposed_show" style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; display: inline; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;">
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px;">
The heart is like a flower. It grows when it's nourished with what benefits it and weakens or dies when its deprived of what it needs. Protect your heart and monitor what you exposed it to. And remember, don't hate anyone. Forgive everyone just for the sake of our Loving God. Even those who have been very horrible to you.</div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
May our Loving God helps us to become His vessel of peace, hope, light, and inspiration to every people we meet every single day. May God bless us all</div>

Just one positive thought is ten times more powerful then a negative one. No matter your ups and downs be positive and look for a solution. Confide it in God.</div>

If you want success in this world and the next a positive mindset is needed. Make a change today. Drop any negative friends, get around those better than you and more positive.</div>

Tayo din, kung nasa apoy tayo ng problema, pagkalito, pagkabahala, marunong tayong yumuko. Actually, hindi lang yung apoy kasama, pati iyong pagkiskis sa gilid ng kahon ng posporo na hinahalintulad sa mga hinanakit, hapdi at kasakitan sa buhay. Ang lahat ng ito’y nagdudulot ng apoy sa buhay! Ngunit ang palito ay yumuyuko!</div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
Ang isang matigas at tuwid na palito ay napapayuko din!<br />
Tulad ng palito, Ang taong marunong manalangin ay yumuko sa harap ng Dios. Wala tayong magagawa kung wala Siya sa puso at buhay natin.</div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">

We hear a lot about finding and strengthening your strengths.
<br />
Sure, you should figure out what you are really good at, as it is
also usually the thing you like doing as well, and then yes, strengthen
it to give you further leverage on that strength.<br />
That’s a good idea. But…<br />
<br />
Do not neglect, you must also find<br />
and strengthen your
weaknesses—those attributes or skills that you are not good in, but are
critical for you to accomplish your important goals and aspirations.<br />
<br />
<b>You must also ATTACK your weaknesses!</b><br />
<br />
I remember a time, many years ago, while working out at a Gold’s Gym
in South Beach Miami, I complimented this bodybuilder guy on his calves.
I know, weird, but you should have seen them! My calves were something I
struggled with. I had all the typical calve exercises in my own routine
but they never seemed to grow like my other muscle groups. I just
figured they were like your jaw muscles, no matter how much you work
them out they aren’t really going to change much—you either have great
calve muscles or you don’t.<br />
<br />
So I asked this guy what he did to have calves like that. He explained <span id="more-7633"></span>he
had lost many body-building competitions in the past because his calves
were his weak spot. All the work he had put into developing the rest of
his body was eliminated because of this one glaring weakness.<br />
<br />
He said, “Then I decided I would just attack them. I wouldn’t work
them out like the rest of my body, I would double, triple or quadruple
the focus, intensity and emphasis I put on them in my weekly training
cycle.”<br />
<br />
He proceeded by saying, “And guess what? My weakness has now become
one of my greatest strengths. But even if it was just no longer a
weakness and only matched the rest of my growth it would have been a
great victory. However, in order to accomplish that it required me to
multiply my intensity in that one area just to bring it up to even.”<br />
<br />
I learned a very valuable lesson that day in the gym. Not just about building my calves but about building my life.<br />
<br />
If I have a weakness, one that is essential to the achievement of my goals, I can’t just work on it, I have to <b>ATTACK IT</b>.<br />
<br />
If it’s truly a weakness, then it needs MORE attention than other aspects of your development that comes easier or faster.<br />

<b>My favorite comments from the readers of this articles:</b><br />
<br />
<br />
"I appreciate your aspect on how to work on yourself to better yourself
for success. It is amazing that just changing one word can change the
aspect of how you approach something. I have been "working" on my
weaknesses ~ now I will ATTACK them because they are thieves that try to
rob my success. I will not let my weakness take over! Thank you for
this insight." <a class="profileName" href="https://www.facebook.com/sewexceptional" target="_blank">Carolina Gutiérrez Sarceño</a><span class="fsm fwn fcg"> </span><br />
<br />
<span class="fsm fwn fcg">"</span><span class="fsm fwn fcg">I like the word attack. I am a fierce proponent of strengths. Using -
building strengths - is a great tool in ones' personal armamentarium. I
always tell clients that you can never convert a weakness into a
strength. one must use ones strengths to manage one's weaknesses. To
me - strengths are what gives us energy - the energy to build or in your
words attack our weaknesses. Weaknesses sap energy - strengths create
energgy. So what I love about the "attack model" is that it creates a
new paradigm for me (and my clients) that use your strengths to attack
your weaknesses to build them to a point which minimizes their effect on
your energy - your success - on you. Just my two cents." </span><a class="profileName" href="https://www.facebook.com/susan.carson.5688" target="_blank">Susan Carson</a><br />
<br />
"Darren, I enjoy reading your post, as an avid person who likes to work
out this analogy helped me recognize a couple of things. One, I fear
going the distance when its a weakness mostly impart to the unknown. To
attack my writing, spelling and speed reading I plan to make it a goal
for lifelong learning. Two, working out my mind muscle is equally
important...returning to school as an adult student has made a big
change in my world. Three, to attack learning and recognize the value in
oneself is truly a gift. Thank you." <a class="profileName" href="https://www.facebook.com/geraldine.m.healy" target="_blank">Geraldine M. Healy</a><br />
<br />
"I so needed this - YES thsi is what I am doing - attacking my weakness, I
am not say well that was close, or what an effort, my new motto - do it
until it is done - and keep doing it until I can perfect it! " <a class="profileName" href="https://www.facebook.com/nose.knows1" target="_blank">Nose Knows</a><span class="fsm fwn fcg"> </span><br />

When you are together with that special someone,<br />
you pretend to ignore that person.<br />
But when that special someone is not around,<br />
you might look around to find them.<br />
At that moment, you are in love.<br />
<br />
Although there is someone else who always makes you laugh,<br />
your eyes and attention might go only to that special someone.<br />
Then, you are in love.<br />
<br />
Although that special someone was supposed to have called you long back,<br />
to let you know of their safe arrival,<br />
your phone is quiet.<br />
You are desperately waiting for the call!<br />
At that moment, you are in love.<br />
<br />
If you are much more excited for one short e-mail from<br />
that special someone than many other long e-mail’s,<br />
you are in love.<br />
<br />
When you find yourself as one who cannot erase all the<br />
messages in your answering machine because of one message<br />
from that special someone,<br />
you are in love.<br />
<br />
When you get a couple of free movie tickets,<br />
you would not hesitate to think of that special someone.<br />
Then, you are in love.<br />
<br />
You keep telling yourself, “that special someone is just a friend”,<br />
but you realize that you can not avoid<br />
that person’s special attraction.<br />
At that moment, you are in love.<br />
<br />
While you are reading this page,<br />
if someone appears in your mind,<br />
then you are in love with that person.wisdom is greathttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02375937533009839201noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28260388.post-88600689451932667002013-04-11T05:11:00.001-07:002016-09-20T09:10:20.325-07:00<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh54R0rqmA8x8hYyuQVqw0Wa0nHgXqypuIqrpdVhdhdWXx4aSB1__ZHkYaEg1r9Oq1r1hB4xVWPUVz3aVwLesJd_dnhFp06qdHc3ajfIz3OGpRp8-F6pFUzOU72A_Op57Pm4Zeb/s1600/Moses+d+great.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh54R0rqmA8x8hYyuQVqw0Wa0nHgXqypuIqrpdVhdhdWXx4aSB1__ZHkYaEg1r9Oq1r1hB4xVWPUVz3aVwLesJd_dnhFp06qdHc3ajfIz3OGpRp8-F6pFUzOU72A_Op57Pm4Zeb/s1600/Moses+d+great.jpg" /></a><b> You Too, Can Succed!</b><br />
By:<b> </b>Moses P. Reconalla<br />
<br />
We are now living in the information age. Every details and
information's we need to improve our life, to restore our magnificence
are now available in the internet, in the library and in the bookstore.
So, there are no reasons and alibis that we cannot help our self to rise
above the ashes!<br />
<br />
If you are really sincere to succeed, to reach
your dreams and become the ideal person you intend to become, this is
the right time to think for a change, make a proper action and seize the
opportunity to improve your life. Never wait for tomorrow or next day
in what you can do today. For tomorrow my friend, is but a dream and
today is the salutation to the dawn!<br />
<br />
In my readings, I learned and
discovered that all great men in the pages of history were a man of
action. They have a firm resolution, an iron will to make their dreams a
reality. They believed in their powers. They create their own
opportunity rather than to find it in other places and they never make
excuses from their mistakes and failures instead they learned, laughed
from it and make a glorious one!<br />
<br />
Kitto, the poor, deaf pauper, who
made shoes in the alms house, and who became the greatest Biblical
scholars, wrote in his journal, on the threshold of manhood: "I am not
myself a believer in impossibilities. I think that all the fine stories
about natural ability, etc., are mere rigmarole, and that every man may
according to his opportunities and industry, render himself almost
anything he wishes to become."<br />
<br />
So, if you're seriously enough to
succeed in life and intend to becoming the person you really want to
become, beginning today, make a firm resolution to work hard on it.
Remember the world always stands aside for the determined individual.
The world will makes a way, even through seeming impossibilities. That
is why Goethe declares that "he who has a firm will mould the world to
himself."<br />
<br />
Below are just simple guidelines that can guide and help you to succeed in life.<br />
<br />
1.
Think always on the ideal person you intend to become. Hold it in your
mind and work hard on it until you become as what you think!<br />
<br />
2. Always believe in your powers. Avoid belittle yourself. Focus always on your strengths rather than on your weaknesses.<br />
<br />
3.
Avoid socializing to a person with a pessimistic attitude and
character. An individual who is only fun of talking, bragging on himself
and always finding faults on others are the person can only ruin your
visions and dreams in life as well as can corrupt your good character.<br />
<br />
4.
Nurture your character. Character is your only valuable assets that can
help to protect your reputation from the sharp tongue of the backbiter,
wicked individual.<br />
<br />
5. Read good books. Books are wise, patient
mentors and excellent professors that can assess and teach you to become
the master among men, yourself!<br />
<br />
Finally, remember my friend, you too, can succeed!<br />
<br />
Good luck to your journey in life!<br />

<br />
<br />
I acknowledge that my time is finite and irreplaceable, and <br />
I state that it is mine to use to my own betterment.<br />
<br />
I alone own my choices and actions. <br />
<br />
I accept responsibility for my failures, and claim credit for my <br />
successes.<br />
<br />
I have worked for and earned both.<br />
By improving my own life, by pursuing my goals, and by acknowledging
that I have the right to dream big dreams and aspire to something better
than my existence as it is right now, I work to become a better person.
By my simple act of doing what matters to me and creating what I value,
people who matter to me will benefit from my existence. I am most
valuable to those I care about when I live the life I choose.<br />
<br />
I choose to offer my abilities and efforts only to those people who matter to me and who appreciate me.<br />
<br />
I refuse the blackmail of guilt and pressure from those who do not.<br />
<br />
I choose to give value for value in my relationships and dealings with
other people, to deal honestly and through free will---and never to
attempt to acquire what I want by <br />
force, deception, or manipulation. <br />
<br />
I choose to earn my life daily through my own efforts.<br />
<br />
I choose to expend my effort in a manner I find meaningful <br />
and important.<br />
<br />
I choose to make my life matter to me.<b> </b>wisdom is greathttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02375937533009839201noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28260388.post-14206357775119405322013-04-07T16:09:00.000-07:002013-04-07T16:09:39.216-07:00<center>

Any day we wish; we can discipline ourselves to change it all. Any day we wish, we can open the book that will open our mind to new knowledge. Any day we wish, we can start a new activity. Any day we wish, we can start the process of life change. We can do it immediately, or next week, or next month, or next year.<br /><br />We can also do nothing. We can pretend rather than perform. And if the idea of having to change ourselves makes us uncomfortable, we can remain as we are. We can choose rest over labor, entertainment over education, delusion over truth, and doubt over confidence. The choices are ours to make. But while we curse the effect, we continue to nourish the cause. As Shakespeare uniquely observed, "The fault is not in the stars, but in ourselves." We created our circumstances by our past choices. We have both the ability and the responsibility to make better choices beginning today.wisdom is greathttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02375937533009839201noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28260388.post-29963306526710629982012-02-09T06:11:00.001-08:002012-02-09T06:11:43.278-08:00Believe in yourself!Believe in yourself!<br /><br />Believe you were made to do any task without calling for aid.<br /><br />Believe, without growing too scornfully proud,<br />that you, as the greatest and least are endowed.<br /><br />A mind to do thinking, two hands and two eyes<br />are all the equipment God gives to the wise.<br /><br />Believe in yourself!<br /><br />You are divinely designed and perfectly made<br />for the work of mankind.<br /><br />The truth you must cling to through danger and pain;<br />the heights others have reached you can also attain.<br /><br />Believe to the very last hour, for it is true.<br />That what ever you will, you've been gifted to do.<br /><br />Believe in yourself and step out unafraid.<br /><br />By misgivings and doubt be not easily swayed.<br /><br />You've the right to succeed;<br />the precision of skill which betokens the great<br />you can earn if you will!<br /><br />The wisdom of the ages is yours if you'll read.<br /><br />But you've got to believe in yourself to succeed.<br /><br /> <br /><br />Winning Words of Champions,<br />p. 103wisdom is greathttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02375937533009839201noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28260388.post-55848680649173892722012-02-09T06:06:00.000-08:002012-02-09T06:08:12.088-08:00Faith In Myself<span style="font-weight:bold;">by: Marjorie Holmes</span><br /><br />God gave me faith in myself,<br />not only on days when I'm going great and winning<br />and nothing seems impossible<br />but on days when the whole world looks lousy<br />and I'm losing and the road ahead seems too hard.<br />When I wonder if I'm brave enough, smart enough<br />and I must be crazy to try,<br />don't let me quit Lord, not ever.<br /><br />Let me keep the faith in myself.<br />No matter how many people<br />discourage me…<br />doubt me…<br />laugh at me…<br />warn me…<br />think me a fool…<br />Don't let me listen.<br /><br />Let me hear another voice telling me,<br />"You can do it and you will!"<br />If nobody else in this world gives a darn or believes in me,<br />let me believe in myself.<br /><br />I know there'll be times when I will doubt my own abilities,<br />when I'll be discouraged and on the verge of despair,<br />don't let me give up,<br />hang onto me.<br />Fan the fires so that I'll try even harder.<br />Give me more faith in myself.<br /><br />Dear Lord, you are the source of life and power.<br />You are the source of my abilities and my faith.<br />Thank you for reinforcements.<br />I know that you will give me for what I ask…<br />Faith in myself.wisdom is greathttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02375937533009839201noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28260388.post-89541674744756140352011-10-15T14:18:00.000-07:002011-10-15T14:18:12.767-07:00Consulting Tips from the Million Dollar Consultant: How to Create A Speech from Scratch<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<b>By: Dr. Alan Weiss</b>
Even if you're not a professional speaker, you will often have to present a speech for a client, a civic group, a trade association, or a social club. By a "speech" I don't mean a report or a facilitation of a meeting. I mean that you're responsible for delivering information to a group of people for at least 30 minutes or more in an engaging and positive manner.
Piece of cake.
Here are the basic components of a first-rate presentation:
First, prepare a catchy opening. It doesn't have to be humorous or clever, but it should capture people's attention. (An audience usually decides in the first two minutes of a talk whether or not to pay close attention to the rest of it.) You might say that you have a very different report from what people expected. Or you might quote some statistics ("We are the seventh largest group of our kind"). You may foreshadow the rest of your talk by citing the fact that there are five important points you want to convey. Whatever you do, the first two minutes will be key, so put yourself in the audience's shoes, and use an opening that would cause you to sit up and listen.
Second, in the "body" or middle of the speech, create a clear structure you can work around. For a 30-60 minute talk, I suggest 5-7 points. Support each one with an anecdote, example, or facts. If your overall theme is "How to increase membership," your five points might be:
Our membership history
The composition of our current membership
Competition for members
Sources of new members
Actions required for attracting new members
If we were to take point #3 as an example, supporting anecdotes, examples and facts could include:
3a. There are now 27 sources for similar interests, whereas there were only 7 two years ago.
3b. The impact of cable TV and the Internet
3c. A conversation you had last week with a prospective member who is still undecided
If you want to take questions, do it after the "body" but prior to the close.
Third, create a closing which summarizes the five main points and then calls for the action you wish from the group. The closing should have a formal ending and a "thank you," and not just drift off into vague questions.
Some other rules of thumb: Don't tell a story for the sake of the story. It must be relevant to your point. Don't use humor at someone else's expense, although self-effacing humor almost always is effective. Repeat all questions, to give yourself time to think and to allow everyone in the room to hear them. Don't overdo visual aids-PowerPoint is almost always overkill. Some overheads will usually do the trick if the group isn't too large, but keep the visual professional and in very large type. Don't present things that are already in handouts and which can be read later. Control the room-if someone gives you a hard time, tell them to see you later, but that you owe time to the group and not to one-on-one debates. If you don't know the answer to a question admit it, and ask if anyone else does.
Finally, no speech is the turning point of Western Civilization. Prepare carefully, do the best you can, and then go home. You'll find that you did much better than you would have thought.wisdom is greathttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02375937533009839201noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28260388.post-86869667466351560102011-10-15T14:12:00.000-07:002011-10-15T14:12:57.579-07:00Consulting Tips from the Million Dollar Consultant: The Ultimate Tip<b>By: Dr. Alan Weiss<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

This article concludes five years of the "hot tip of the month," spanning categories from rebutting objections to establishing fees, and from professional development to marketing. I'm bringing it to an end here not because I don't have more to say--a continuing stream of books, tapes, articles, and newsletters will attest to that--but because this forum is becoming unwieldy in its sheer volume.
This edition brings us to the 60th entry, one a month, unfailing, for our duration. All the tips will remain on these pages, indexed, for complimentary downloading, ongoing reference, and incentive for new readers.
This final "hot tip" is my ultimate tip, not just in the sense of being the final one, but in terms of being, perhaps, the most important.
If you want to be successful as a consultant, speaker, trainer, facilitator, coach, or entrepreneur in general, here is the ultimate tip: First be successful as a person.
As Popeye said, "I am what I am." Robespierre observed that no man has the ability to step outside the shadow of his own character. You must be comfortable with yourself as a contributing human being if you are to be comfortable and successful as a contributing professional.
I've found very, very few good, hard working people who fail dismally as professionals. Similarly, I've found few conniving, insincere, unethical people who succeed spectacularly in their work. Oh, there are temporary anomalies, and we've all had bosses at one time or another who should have been lobotomized for the good of the company, but those are the exceptions.
If you're reading this, you're probably not an "organization man" (or woman). You're an entrepreneur trying to do the best you can running your own practice or business. And, funny thing, I've long noticed that the harder I work, the luckier I get. The more that I plan and anticipate, the more the breaks tend to fall in my direction.
If you improve your own performance as a person, you'll improve your business. Are you creating happiness, and not just consuming it? Are you a sincere lover, an engaging friend, a loyal colleague? Do you do what you say you will do, and is it predicated on what's right and not just what's expedient? Are you tolerant of honest differences but intolerant of unethical behavior and corrupt actions?
Your clients don't have to like you, but they should respect you and admire you (and liking you, of course, doesn't hurt). How does your family regard you? How do your friends react to you? How do your colleagues perceive you?
Ultimately, as Billy Joel sang it, we all have to get up with ourselves. Are you a person whom you would respect and admire as a friend? If not, what do you have to change about yourself? If so, then how do you also convey that in your business?
The job is merely a means to an end. Your life is that end. How are you living it?wisdom is greathttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02375937533009839201noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28260388.post-91097630082657459062011-09-07T14:20:00.000-07:002011-09-07T14:21:03.758-07:00You Have The Power to Succeed<span style="font-weight:bold;">by Max Steingart<br /></span><br />Nothing will happen by itself.

<br />from Cultivating an Unshakable Character<span style="font-weight:bold;"></span>
<br />
<br />
<br />Could creating your character be likened to an artist creating a sculpture? In my opinion, I believe that character is not something that just happens by itself, any more than a chisel can create a work of art without the hand of an artist guiding it. In both instances, a conscious decision for a specific outcome has been made. A conscious process is at work. Character is the result of hundreds and hundreds of choices you make that gradually turn who you are, at any given moment, into who you want to be. If that decision-making process is not present, you will still be somebody. You will still be alive, but may have a personality rather than a character.
<br />
<br />Character is not something you were born with and can't change like your fingerprint. In fact, because you weren't born with it, it is something that you must take responsibility for creating. I don't believe that adversity by itself builds character and I certainly don't think that success erodes it. Character is built by how you respond to what happens in your life. Whether it's winning every game or losing every game. Getting rich or dealing with hard times. You build character out of certain qualities that you must create and diligently nurture within yourself. Just like you would plant and water a seed or gather wood and build a campfire. You've got to look for those things in your heart and in your gut. You've got to chisel away in order to find them. Just like chiseling away the rock in order to create the sculpture that has previously existed only in your imagination.
<br />
<br />But do you want to know the really amazing thing about character? If you are sincerely committed to making yourself into the person you want to be, you'll not only create those qualities, but you'll continually strengthen them. And you will recreate them in abundance even as you are drawing on them every day of your life. Just like the burning bush in the biblical book of Exodus, the bush burned but the flames did not consume it. Character sustains itself and nurtures itself even as it is being put to work, tested, and challenged. And once character is formed, it will serve as a solid, lasting foundation upon which to build the life you desire.
<br />
<br />To Your Success,
<br />Jim Rohn

Guidance Counselor/General Education Lecturer<br />
<br />
I was born as a poor boy and grew up in the street without the care, guidance and supervision of my beloved parents. I have experienced an empty stomach, being almost naked, existing without permanent shelter and without proper education.
<br />
<br />
As a young man, with deprived and some sad experiences of life, I started to think of innovation and dream for my future. I dream to become famous, I dream to become a great man!
<br />
<br />
Yes, I to dream to become a great man, a great man with power and authority; a great man like Abraham Lincoln, Brian Tracy, Benjamin Franklin, Dave Higgins, John Maxwell, Manuel Quezon, Martin Luther King Jr., Og Mandino, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Theodore Roosevelt and Winston Churchill.
<br />
<br />
Yes, I dream to become a great man because I want to have a change and improvement, a change and improvement to my beloved country, a change and improvement to the lives of the needy.
<br />
<br />
I thought to become a great man was to have power and authority, power and authority over the lives of the people, power and authority to become their lord and master.
<br />
<br />
But now I realize that to become a great man, it is not to become the lord of their lives, instead the lord of good example.
<br />
<br />
I also realized that to become a great man it is not to become the master of their lives, instead a master of change in helping to improve their way of living.
<br />
<br />
Now, with these precious thoughts that are still fresh in my mind, I am thankful to my beloved Creator for helping me to realize this.
<br />
<br />
Another thing is that to become a great man, is to change and improve first myself. Not be a self-centered, lord and master to others, instead a lord and master of my own self.
<br />
<br />
I realize that by changing my own self, I can gradually change my own destiny. I realize that by changing my own self, I can gradually brighten up my future.
<br />
<br />
Lo! Today I will live as if it is my last. I will improve my character, my skills, my talents and myself. I will serve and help others with love and care and I will become great!
<br />
<br />
Yes, I will become a great man if I will think about the good of others before myself. For only in serving, helping, loving, and sharing the blessings from Above, I can finally win the hearts, favors and support from my beloved human being. And my name will be hailed forever in the pyramid and pages of history!

<br />
<br />To live as gently as I can;
<br />To be, no matter where, a man;
<br />To take what comes of good or ill
<br />And cling to faith and honor still;
<br />To do my best, and let that stand
<br />The record of my brain and hand;
<br />And then, should failure come to me,
<br />Still work and hope for victory.
<br />
<br />To have no secret place wherein
<br />I stoop unseen to shame or sin;
<br />To be the same when I'm alone
<br />And when my every deed is known;
<br />To live undaunted, unafraid
<br />Of any step that I have made;
<br />To be without pretense or shame
<br />Exactly what men think I am.
<br />
<br />To leave some simple mark behind
<br />To keep my having lived in mind;
<br />If enmity to aught I show.
<br />To be an honest, generous foe,
<br />To play my little part, nor whine
<br />That greater honors are not mine.
<br />This, I believe, is all I need
<br />For my philosophy and creed.wisdom is greathttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02375937533009839201noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28260388.post-12506779084515911782011-08-11T01:29:00.000-07:002011-08-11T01:31:45.896-07:00LIFE IS WORTH LIVINGBy: Jeanine Van Wyk

<br /> Return to Love
<br />
<br />
<br />"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
<br />Our deepest fear in that we are powerful beyond measure.
<br />It is our Light, not our Darkness, that most frightens us.
<br />We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?
<br />Actually, who are you not to be?
<br />
<br />You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the World.
<br />There is nothing enlightening about shrinking
<br />so that other people won’t feel unsure around you.
<br />We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us.
<br />It is not just in some of us; it is in everyone.
<br />As we let our own Light shine,
<br />we consciously give other people permission to do the same.
<br />As we are liberated from our own fear,
<br />our presence automatically liberates others."wisdom is greathttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02375937533009839201noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28260388.post-74580190792989037922011-08-09T23:50:00.000-07:002011-08-09T23:51:38.618-07:00Learn How to Put Failures BehindBy: Steve Goodier
<br />
<br />Unless we learn how to put failure behind us:
<br />
<br /> We will never ask for what we need for fear of rejection.
<br />
<br /> We will never ask a boss for a promotion for fear of her saying no.
<br />
<br /> We will never go back and take classes for fear of failing.
<br />
<br /> We will never change careers for fear of it not working out.
<br />
<br /> We will never forgive others who hurt us for fear of being hurt by them again.
<br />
<br /> We won't do the things we want to do for fear of letting ourselves and others down.
<br />
<br /> Unless we learn how to put failure behind us, we won't take any risk at all! And we'll never fully live, either.
