Have Faith and Believe in Yourself

"Our doubts are traitors, Shakespeare says, "and make us lose the good we oft might win by fearing to attempt."

The writer as a young man schooled in the schooled of hard knocks, I often learned and realized that the greatest obstacle to a man's success in life is not due to below average IQ but because of lack of will to start his plan and a lack of courage to do it till the end as well as a lack of faith and believe in his power.

Dear reader if you want to accomplish something in this world or to become the ideal person you dreamed of yourself, condition and teach your mind to think positively. Eliminate self - pity, worries, doubts, and fears in your life, for these can only create a hellish turmoil and makes your mind to function unproductively.

Don't be like a mouse that dwelt near the abode of a great magician was kept in such constant distress by its fear of a cat, that the great magician, taking pity on it, turned it into a cat itself. Immediately it began to suffer from its fear of a dog, so the magician turned it into a dog. Then it began to suffer from fear of a tiger. Then the magician therefore turned it into a tiger. Then it began to suffer from fear of a hunter, and the magician said in disgust: "Be a mouse again. As you have only the heart of a mouse, it is impossible to help you by giving you the body of a nobler animal."

Again, don't be like a mouse! You are a special and unique individual. The loving God gives you the mind, the ears, the eyes, the mouth, the hands, and the feet to help you to transform your plans into reality. Therefore stop thinking negatively! Be good to your self. Choose to be a captain of your soul today, and surely, the world will make a way for you!

Remember that the "Kingdom of God is within you"! So continue on conditioning your mind to think positively, to have faith and believe in yourself!

But if times come and you will fall back into negative thoughts such as fear, worries, and self-pity, remind yourself again and again with this word: "Take charge of your thoughts, so you can do what you will, will."

Use that affirmation every time you will succumb by inferiority complex, so the feeling of insecurity and fear will banish from you.

Finally, remember that God helps those who help themselves!

Good luck to your journey in life!

Dare to Fail!

“If you want to succeed, Og Mandino advised, “You must learn to live with failure.”

I firmly believed that life is a game! That there are rules we should and must to learn and we need to follow in order to succeed. The rules are to learn, laugh at your own mistakes and failures, and make a glorious one!

So whatever adversities, setbacks and failures you will encounter, will come and meet along your way today, never be discouraged nor be hopeless and retreat. Instead, when tempted to give up, remind yourself again and again with these words: I am not a failure! Failure exists only in the grave!

So, as long as I am alive and kicking; as long as I have faith and believe in myself that I can succeed; as long as the whole part of my body still functioning and cooperating with me, I will proudly announce and declare this words to myself and to the world: I am not a failure! For failure exists only in the tomb! Therefore, I will move forward to make my every single dreams come true! For I know by daring to move forward, I will succeed.

Remember you can succeed for whatever your heart will desire as long as your dreams will not violate the rights of your fellowmen. For the kingdom of God is within you! What you need to do is know yourself; Know your potential; Know your power and polish it!

Know the purpose and desire of your heart. Learn to in tune yourself with the Infinite and promise yourself every single day that whatever problems, failures and adversity will come into your way, you will never give up! You will always dare to move forward to prove again to the world that you can rise above the ashes! That you are somebody; that there is an iron and gold in your mind. By always doing this to yourself, you will become unconquerable! You will become the leader and master among men…Yourself!

Finally, before we depart with each other, remember this inspiring word of Les Brown “shoot for the moon. Even if you miss it, you’ll land among the stars.”

Good luck to your journey in life and God bless!

I Dream To Become A Great Man

I was born as a poor boy and grew up in the street without the care, guidance and supervision of my beloved parent. I have been experienced an empty stomach, Almost naked, without permanent shelter and without proper education.

As a young man with deprived and sad experiences of life, I started to think of innovation and dream for my future. I dream to become a famous, I dream to become a great man!

Yes, I to dream to become a great man. A great man with power and authority. A great man like Abraham Lincoln, Benjamin Franklin, Dave Higgins, Hernando Zamora, John Maxwell, Manuel Quezon, Og Mandino, Ralp Wardo Emerson, Theodore Roosevelt and Winston Churchill.

Yes, I dream to become a great man. ‘Coz 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.

‘Coz I thought to become a great man is to have power and authority. Power and authority over the lives of the people. Power and authority to become their lord and master.

But now, I realized that to become a great man It is not to become the lord of their lives, instead the lord of good example. But now, 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.

Now with this precious thoughts that still fresh in my mind, I am thankful to my beloved Creator for helping me this to realize. 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.

I realized that, for changing my own self, I can gradually change my own destiny. I realized that, for changing my own self, I can gradually brighten up my future.

Lo! Today I will live as if it is my last. I will improve myself, my character, my skills, and my talents. I will serve and help others with love and care, And I will become great!

Yes, I will become a great man if I will think 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!

Wish you many blessings to come and God bless!

Dear God,

I give you this morning.
Please take away
My despair of yesterday.
Help me to forgive the things
That caused me pain
And would keep me bound.
Help me to begin again.
Please bless my path
And illumine my mind.
I surrender to You
The day ahead.
Please bless every person
And situation
I will encounter.
Make me who You would have me be,
That I might do as You would have me do.
Please enter my heart
And remove all anger,
Fear and pain.
Renew my soul
And free my spirit.
Thank you, God,
For this day.
Amen.

What Does It Mean to Love God Above All?

What does it mean to love God above all? This is the question that once asked by my beloved professor in graduate school, that eagerly trigger my subconscious mind to think for how many days and eventually motivated me to answer the query.

In my point of view, to love God above all, it means that we should make Him be the center of our life. Being a Christian, it is one of our duties to stay focus on the light, the source of knowledge, guidance and strength. Without God, we are nothing. We are vanities in all vanities under heaven!

To love God above all, it means that we should encourage, motivate ourselves to know Him more intellectually, emotionally and spiritually. In doing that way, we can easily feel and understand, that we need to do our part to worship and glorify Him with all our hearts and minds without the dictates of others. Above all, apply what we have learned from His teachings to our lives, enable for us to grow and become a mature productive Christian.

The Apostle Paul once says, “Faith without works is dead.” So for me, words without action are useless.

There some groups of Christians who are proclaiming that they really love God and obey His Words but when you ask them who is He? They cannot easily give an answer. That’s why for me, I firmly believe, to love God above all, we must teach and encourage ourselves first to know Him well, so we can avoid creating confusion to the other Christian believers. Now, I will give an answer to the question “Who is God?”

He is the First and Last, the Beginning and the End!
He is the keeper of Creation and the Creator of all!
He is the Architect of the universe and The Manager of all times.
He always was, He always is,
and He always will be... Unmoved,
Unchanged, Undefeated, and never Undone!
He was bruised and brought healing!
He was pierced and eased pain!
He was persecuted and brought freedom!
He was dead and brought life!
He is risen and brings power!
He reigns and brings Peace!
The world can't understand Him,
The armies can't defeat Him,
The schools can't explain Him,
and The leaders can't ignore Him.
Herod couldn't kill Him,
The Pharisees couldn't confuse Him,
and The people couldn't hold Him!
Nero couldn't crush Him,
Hitler couldn't silence Him,
The New Age can't replace Him,
He is light, love, longevity, and Lord.
He is goodness, Kindness, Gentleness, and God.
He is Holy, Righteous, mighty, powerful, and pure.
His ways are right, His word is eternal,
His will is unchanging, and His mind is on me.
He is my Redeemer, He is my Savior,
He is my guide, and He is my peace! He is my Joy,
He is my comfort, He is my Lord, and He rules my life!
I serve Him because His bond is love,
His burden is light, and His goal for me is abundant life.
I follow Him because He is the wisdom of the wise,
The power of the powerful,
The ancient of days,
the ruler of rulers,
The leader of leaders,
the overseer of the over comers,
and The sovereign Lord of all that was and is and is to come.
And if that seems impressive to you, try this for size.
His goal is a relationship with ME!
He will never leave me,
Never forsake me, Never mislead me,
Never forget me,
Never overlook me,
and Ever cancel my appointment in His appointment book!
When I fall, He lifts me up!
When I fail, He forgives!
When I am weak,
He is strong!
When I am lost, He is the way!
When I am afraid, He is my courage!
When I stumble, He steadies me!
When I am hurt, He heals me!
When I am broken, He mends me!
When I am blind, He leads me!
When I am hungry, He feeds me!
When I face trials, He is with me!
When I face persecution, He shields me!
When I face problems, He comforts me!
When I face loss, He provides for me!
When I face Death, He carries me Home!
He is everything for everybody, everywhere, Every time, and every way.
He is God, He is faithful.
I am His, and He is mine!
My Father in heaven can whip the father of this world.
So, if you're wondering why I feel so secure, understand this...
He said it and that settles it.
God is in control,
I am on His side,
and That means all is well with my soul.
Everyday is a blessing for GOD Is!
I love the Lord and thank Him for all that He does in my life,
He is my source of existence and my Savior.
He keeps me functioning each and everyday.
Without Him, I am nothing.
But with Him I can do all things. - Philippians 4:13

Dear readers, always bear these in your mind: with men everything is impossible but with God all impossible things will become possible!

Wish you many blessings to come and God Bless!

The Secret Power of Kindness

Be Kind one to another, tender-hearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ’s hath forgiven you (Eph. 4:32 KJV).

In this short article, I would like to share with you a short story of a certain great, good man who wrote a beautiful essay “The Kingliness of Kindness.”

This great, good man tells of his experience stranded in a strange city late at night and in need of transportation between railroad stations. When he called the telephone operator for information, she provided it in rude and discourteous language. Later he called her back to thank her for the help. Apparently, it was something she rarely had happened to her and the change in her voice and her whole telephone personality indicated that the expression of his appreciation had uplifted her spirit. How simple it is to say thank you. Yet how much it means when spoken in sincerity!

The above story reminds us that a kind word is better than a big pie!

The word of God clearly explained “A soft answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger” (Proverbs 15:1 NKJV).

Dear readers, when you are engaging in the conversation, always encourage yourself to say something good to somebody. Always bear in mind, to be patient and tactful in dealing with people. For you are not dealing with a people of logic but you are dealing with a people of emotions too!

If you don’t have a kind words to say, it is better to shut up your mouth than be an instrument of making other lives to become ruin because of your idle tongue. James, the disciple of our Lord Jesus Christ reminds you that “If anyone considers himself religious and yet does not keep a tight rein on his tongue, he deceives himself and his religion is worthless” (James 1:26 NIV).

Our Lord Jesus Christ warned “… if anyone causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him to be thrown into the sea with a large millstone tied around his neck” (Mark 9:42 NKJV).

Dear readers always motivate your mind and mouth to practice giving honey instead of giving stings.

Remember your life is so short! Your life is like a vapor that appears for a moment and then disappears! Therefore, any good that you can do or any kindness you can show to any human being let you do it now. Let you not defer it or neglect it; for you shall not pass this way again.

For thousands of men breathe, move, and live pass off the stage of life and are heard no more. Why? They did not give a particle of good in the world. None were blessed by them. None could point to them as the instrument of their redemption. Their light went out in darkness and they were not remembered more than insects of yesterday. Will you live and die? Live for something!

Instead of giving stings to your family, friends, neighbors, co-workers, and strangers, why not encourage yourself to give them a honey! Why not encourage yourself to say these words when you are alone:

Dear Lord, make me an instrument of your peace; Where there is hatred, let me show love; Where there is injury, pardon; Where there is doubt, faith; Where there is despair, hope; Where there is darkness, light. Where there is sadness, joy; Where there is an idle tongue, help me to keep away from them.

Before I conclude, don’t and don’t ever forget that the hardest thing to give is kindness; it’s always come back to the giver!

Wish you many blessings to come and God bless!

Never, Never Give Up

Our world is full of educated and talented individuals. But why are some of them unable to reach the heights of their potentials and success? What are the other reasons, why these groups of individuals will not successfully conquer the impossible despite having the ability and capacity to excel? These are the questions that I would like to seek and find an answer for.

I'll still remember the great man named Dr. Napoleon Hill, a man that I greatly admired most. During the 1930's, he started conducting a study on the lives of some certain successful great men of America. He investigated why these groups of individuals were so successful in their life struggles and reaches the top of the ladders. Through personal interviewed with them, he found out that their main secrets why they gradually win to beat the odds and got the crown of life are because of their being positive thinkers, positive attitudes, self-determination to win and the philosophy of NEVER, NEVER GIVE UP!

People, when you experience a great trials and challenges in life, you should encourage yourself to "Never give up or the burden may sink you; Providence kindly has mingled the cup and in all trials and troubles, that challenges you. The watchword of life must be, NEVER, NEVER GIVE UP! DARE MIGHTY THINGS! HOLD ON TO YOUR DREAMS! YOU CAN IF YOU THINK YOU CAN!

Billi Lim exclaims, "Do not measure a person by how many times he falls, measure him by how many times he climbs up again. A person who can climb up again after he falls will never be drawned." He added and commented, "But it is sad to note that many people are just like those who, after a temporary defeat, prefer to stay there and finally die a real failure, fallen and never to rise again."

What really is the quality of an individual that would help him to rise once again after he falls? A great president of America, President Calvin Coolidge gave a very enthusiastic and very inspiring answer in this query.

President Coolidge answered, "Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence, Talent will not; nothing is more common than successful men with talent. Geniuses will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts, persistence and determination alone are omnipotent."

I am certainly agreed with that great maxim of the late great President Calvin Coolidge. I'll prove it already to myself. I’ll still remember when I was a young boy. I have a lot of great dreams for my future. But how could it be? It’s the same questioned that always lingering in my mind. I’m a product of a broken home family, grew up in the street, and stayed with different and even with the cruel person in this world! It’s good that was over! The bitter memory of my childhood!

I have learned through my life experiences and studies from the profiles and writings of the great wise men that the only way to beat the odds in life is to face and to take it as a challenge and continue on remaking ourselves into a better person! Also by making God as a partner in every aspiration in life because in Him everything is possible!

Because of the positive attitude that I had and by encouraging myself to believe in the beauty of my dreams, I gradually finished my Bachelor’s degree in History and Minor in Political Science with my own self-determination, passed the Philippine Teachers Board Exam and now I am working as School Guidance Counselor, College Instructor, and Working Students Supervisor.

To you my dear readers, I would like you to think and ponder this:

If you think you are beaten, you are.
If you think you dare not, you don't.
If you've like to win but you think you can't, it's certainly you won't.
Life battles are not always go to the stronger or the faster man.
But sooner or later, the man who wins is the man who thinks he can!

Here is the last and the best final keys to make you become a winner and succeed in every struggle in life. Encourage yourself to make God be as your partner and everything will come together (Romans 8:28).

People, if your feeling defeated and hopeless think of this: If you have tried and met with failure; if you have planned and watched your plans as they were crushed before your eyes; just remember that the greatest men in all history were the products of courage. And courage, you know, is born in the cradle of adversity.

Dear readers remember this, when you are at your weakest, God is in His greatest! So don't worry, be happy! What shall you need to do is call Him and God promised, "Call me and I will answer you, and show you the great and mighty things which you do not know" (Jeremiah 33:3).

Before I will conclude, I would like to encourage and remind you, NEVER, NEVER GIVE UP! DARE MIGHTY THINGS! HOLD ON TO YOUR DREAMS! AND always remember THAT THE FUTURE BELONGS TO THOSE WHO BELIEVE IN THE BEAUTY OF THEIR DREAMS!

Wish you many blessings to come and God Bless!

Don't Worry - Be Happy

Worry…worry! Why are you worrying? Are you worrying of your sweetheart if he/she is still love you and honest with you? Or you are worrying of your face on how you can make it more attractive and beautiful? Or you are worrying of your debts on how you can pay it? Or you are worrying of yourself and asking why until now you are still in unfortunate life?

Encarta Encyclopedia defines worry as “keep thinking about something: to think about a problem repeatedly in an effort to find a solution.”

Why are you worrying for something that in reality does not yet happen to you? Why not give yourself some space to relax and enjoy for a while and think for a solution? Remember you are the architect of your destiny and the author of your future! If you would continue worrying, it can only lead your life into destruction. Remember our life is short. Our life is like vapors that appears for a moment and then disappear. So therefore, do not let your life die like an insect without doing something good to yourself and to your fellowmen.

If you are feeling fake, lonely, and feeling defeated, why not encourage yourself to kneel down for a while and voice-out your errs and concerns to our Loving God? Our Merciful God said in Jeremiah 33:3, “Call me and I will answer you and show you the great and mighty things which you do not know” (NKJV). This verse emphasize that our Loving God is ready to answer you my dear readers, what shall you need to do is just go with Him, Call Him and He will give the desire of your heart! Because with God everything is possible!

Paramahan Yogananda reminds you “…not take life’s experiences too seriously. Above all, do not let them hurt you for in reality they nothing worthy but dream experiences.”

She adds, “If circumstances are bad and you have to bear them, do not make them part of you. Play your part in life, but never forget that it is only a role!”

Edmund Burke added, “The battle of life in most cases is fought uphill, and to win it without a struggle is almost like winning without honor. Difficulties may intimidate the weak, but the act only as wholesome stimulus to men of resolution and valor. All experiences of life, indeed serves to prove that the impediments thrown in the way of human advancement way, for the most part, be overcome by steady good conduct, honest zeal, activity, perseverance, and by a determination to overcome difficulties.”

Billi Lim asserted that, “Most people think that taking the easy way out or having an easy life without difficulties or problems is good. It is a very serious misconception. Who wants a tough, hard life? I for one would not like it. But what I am putting forward here is that struggle, be it physical or mental, is necessary to make us grow stronger in body and mind.”

Dr. Vincent Peale argued, “Mental control is the secret of mature and creative judgment. Your mind is an instrument designed to serve you not, not to destroy you.” Dr. Peale further argued, “When uncontrolled, your mind can be very damaging to you, but when controlled it can develop unlimited power.”

Dr. Peale pointed out why “Everywhere men and women are failing simply because they have not mastered their minds. At the same time others do amazing things through the exercise of mental control.”

Talking of mental control, I recall Dr. Napoleon Hill, my most admired author in self-improvement. Dr. Hill encourages you if you really not want to be defeated in all your life you should learn to “take charge of your thoughts, so that you can do what you want with them.”

Dr. Peale elaborates and convinced you readers, to “Know yourself. Control your mind. Think. Make right decisions. Never accept defeat. Believe in yourself. Mentally accept your great future. Never think of failing. Believe that you can if you think you can!”

My dear readers, I encouraged you, do not fear the winds of adversity. Remember, a kite rises against the winds rather than go with it!

Before I conclude, I would like you to recall this, when you are at your weakest, God is in His greatest!

So DON’T WORRY, BE HAPPY!

Wish you many blessings to come and God Bless!

If you are wise, you should learn to hold as well as manage your tongue not to back fight, criticize, gossip, condemn and insult other people.

Remember criticizing that is a mark of an inferior person. A real wise person has no time in back fighting, criticizing, condemning, gossiping and insulting other people. They are busy in cultivating and improving themselves and helping the lowly ones.

If you are wise, do not snub people. A real wise person did not snub but greet people with a sweet smile.

If you are wise, be honest in giving praises. Do not give a flattering answer or else people will hate and mock at you!

If you are wise, remain humble instead of being proud. Remember, God mocked the proud but He lifted up the humble.

If you are wise, you should be careful as well as watchful in your character. For your character will be your only weapon against the bad tongues of negative, toxic people.

If you are wise, be an open-minded person. Remember, there is more hope to the fools than to the close-minded individuals!

If you are wise, you should continue feeding your mind with fresh knowledge and wisdom. Remember knowledge is power. No knowledge, no power!

If you are wise, cultivate yourself to have your own originality. I’ve learned and discovered that one of the greatest mistakes of the young people nowadays is a lack of originality!

If you are wise, you should practice being kind to yourself as well as to other people. Always bear in mind that the hardest things to give is kindness, it’s always comes back to the giver!

Finally, if you are wise, cultivate as well as teach yourself to put God in the center and everything will come together.

That’s it!

If You Are Wise!

It Hurts, It Hurts You Know!

It hurts, it hurts you know!
If people will tell that you have a bad breath.

It hurts, it hurts you know!
If people will tell that your teeth is yellowish.

It hurts, it hurts you know!
If people will tell that you have a bad smell.

It hurts, it hurts you know!
If people will tell that you’re an idiot.

It hurts, it hurts you know!
If someone you love, doesn’t love you.

It hurts, it hurts you know!
If you’re close friend will betray you.

It hurts, it hurts you know!
If your neighbors will back fight and mock at you.

It hurts, it hurts you know!
If your boss will fire you without legal basis.

It hurts, it hurts you know!
If there’s no one else will trust you.

To stop repeating it hurts, it hurts you know!
Starting today, encourage yourself to have a new life,
Evaluate as well as examine your being,
So you can be able to decipher the real cause of always saying…It hurts, it hurts you know!

Listen now to the counsel of the wise
What you do not want others to do to you, do not do to others, forgive injuries.
Forgive thy enemy, be reconciled to him, give him assistance, and invoke God in his behalf. For
that is the secret to have a good and peaceful life.

Always remember, none but one can harm you
None but yourself, who are your greatest foe,
He that respects himself is safe from others,
He wears a coat of mail that none can pierce.

Always bear in mind, that the best investment you can give to yourself is you!
You can make a lot of money, by investing in you than any other investment,
Therefore, feed your mind always with knowledge and wisdom,
For that is your only treasure as well as your shields in times of famine.

Above all, don’t and don’t ever forget to nurture your character
For your character are your only tools and weapons,
To protect and cover your reputation,
Against the mighty foe, the trap, and the honey words of the evil men.

Wish you many blessings to come and God Bless!
