Its not the troubles...its your reaction..:)

It's not the troubles that trouble you. It's the way you react to them.

What if you could choose not to let the troubles get to you? What if you could work your way through them while remaining positive and joyful?What if you could dance in the rain? What if you could sing in the storm?

Life's difficulties do not need your help. They are plenty difficult on their own, without you adding to them.

So make the choice not to add to them. Acknowledge their reality, deal effectively with them, but don't allow them to pull you down.

The way you feel is the way you choose to feel.It is a decision.

 Choose to feel powerful, choose to feel in control, choose to feel purposeful, abundant and joyful because at the heart of you... you are. 

The living spirit in you is stronger than any trouble you'll ever encounter. Remember that, feel its truth, and live your joy no matter what.

 "Life is like a coin. You can spend it any way you wish, but you only spend it once".

Lillian Dickson

No matter what...Endevour to be glad..:))

No matter how deep the sadness or wide the pain...I vow to live for a brighter day will come again.
No matter how many mistakes I’ve made in the past...I vow to live and in the future avoid them, surefooted and fast.
No matter how many tragedies beyond my control take place...I vow to live and stay my course within this race. No matter how poor or rich I may ever be...I vow to live and aspire to search for the dignity in simplicity.
No matter how much a lover may pierce the inner core of my heart...I vow to live for like spring I’ll get a new start.
No matter how isolated and alone I may feel,...I vow to live and do something for someone else to heal. No matter how hopeless my situation my appear...I vow to live and reflect until my viewpoint is clear.
No matter what happens in this life – good or bad...I vow to live, do my best, and just for living – be glad."

Your Dream is Calling You

Your Dream is Calling You

Climb every mountain, search high and low
Follow every byway, every path you know.
Climb every mountain, ford every stream,
Follow every rainbow, 'til you find your dream"!

We've all been encouraged, by someone, to go out and live our dreams. Our dreams, themselves, have even been personally calling us for many years but we have not taken the call.

Most of us may have even looked at the caller Id and decided not to
answer. There's also a percentage of us that hide behind
excuses, like -- "I don't know what my calling is" or "I
don't have a dream." Those excuses have merely kept us in
the bleachers of life, refusing to come onto the playing
field.

As a wise man once said "Excuses are the tools of the
incompetent, used to build bridges that go absolutely
nowhere." The simple truth of the matter is that most people
have allowed fear to paralyze their dreams and goals.

Well no need to worry... your dreams are STILL calling you and
they're orchestrating certain events in your lives,
specifically designed to get your full attention!

So often, we are visited by concepts and insights, for witty
inventions and ideas, which we never act on. Another wise man once
said, "Procrastination is a thief and you must evict it out
of your life, before it becomes a murderer!"

Procrastination, if given enough time, will become a
murderer of all the dreams, ideas, and greatness on the
inside of you.

Make a decision, today, to remove all excuses and accept the
calling on your life. Uncover what it is you love to do so much,
that you'd do it for free. Once you've figured that out, do it so
well that people will want to pay you for it! Choose, this day, to
longer accept mediocrity.

Give life and breath to all the talents, dreams, and
potential that lay dormant inside you - because the world is
waiting for your book, your song, your dance, your
composition. The world is waiting for your unique and
special gift!

Follow every river...till you find your dream.

Life is an echo..)))))))))))))))))))))))

People are often unreasonable, illogical and self-centered. Forgive them anyway. …If you are kind people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives, be kind anyway. If you are successful you will build very many false friends and some true friends, succeed anyway. If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you, be honest and frank anyway. What you spend years building, someone could destroy over night. Build anyway. If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous, be happy anyway. … The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow. Do good anyway. Give the world the best you have. It may never be enough. Give the world the best you’ve got anyway. You see, in the final analysis, it is between you and God. It was never between you and them anyway.”

 

Life is an echo..what you send out, comes back. What you sow, you reap, What you give, you get. What you see in others, exist in you. Do not judge, so you will not be judged. Radiate and give love and loves come back to you.

 

Life is full of challenges. Being happy shouldn't be one of them. In our lives we face so much difficulty, especially when we try to grab life by the horns on a daily basis in our best effort to seize every day and to go after our dreams. One principle that we must absorb while we experience life is that our happiness has a lot to do with the type of attitude that we are willing to live with. If we choose to look at life negatively and only see the darkness in life we will miss out on the beautiful stars that shine brightly in the sky.

 

In other words, life, though full of challenges, is still beautiful at the same time. As people, with our own minds, and our own free will, we are capable of changing situations from negative to positive if we are willing to think outside of the box, and have hope that things will get better and will maintain at a high level if we are just willing to go after life with everything that is inside of our hearts.

 

Nobody is perfect and nobody deserves to be perfect. Nobody has it easy, everybody has issues. You never know what people are going through. So pause before you start judging, criticizing or mocking others. Everybody is fighting their own unique war.

 

We should never take for granted the people that have been in our lives through thick and thin, for these are our true friends. Take advantage of being able to show your true friends how much you care for them on a regular basis. Show the true friends how much you love them in times of good health and prosperity so that they will be even more willing to be there when times are harder.

 

Be that true friend to them as well. Make sure that when times are rough for them, that you never leave their side, not because you know they would do the same for you, but because of how much you love them.

 

Always be thankful for the people who never left!

Promise Yourself~

Promise Yourself
(one the most classic motivational poems)

Promise yourself to be so strong that nothing can
disturb your peace of mind.

To talk health, happiness, and prosperity to
every person you meet.

To make all your friends feel like there is
something in them.

To look at the sunny side of everything and make your
optimism come true.

To think only of the best, to work only for the best,
and expect only the best.

To be just as enthusiastic about the success of others
as you are about your own.

To forget the mistakes of the past and press on the
greater achievements of the future.

To wear a cheerful countenance at all times and give
every living person you meet a smile.

To give so much time to the improvement of yourself
that you have no time to criticize others.

To be too large for worry, too noble for anger, and too
strong for fear, and to happy to permit the
presence of trouble.

The Optimist Creed

The Will To Win!!!

The Will To Win
(one the most classic motivational poems)

If you want a thing bad enough
To go out and fight for it,
Work day and night for it,
Give up your time and your peace and
your sleep for it

If only desire of it
Makes you quite mad enough
Never to tire of it,
Makes you hold all other things tawdry
and cheap for it

If life seems all empty and useless without it
And all that you scheme and you dream is about it,

If gladly you'll sweat for it,
Fret for it, Plan for it,
Lose all your terror of God or man for it,

If you'll simply go after that thing that you want.
With all your capacity,
Strength and sagacity,
Faith, hope and confidence, stern pertinacity,

If neither cold poverty, famished and gaunt,
Nor sickness nor pain
Of body or brain
Can turn you away from the thing that you want,

If dogged and grim you besiege and beset it,
You'll get it!

-- Berton Bradley

The spirit of a conquqer...unrelenting hope!!

I strongly believe that if you have faith especially in God...you can go places...you can conquer wars and you can get through anything...

You know....life has a way of surprising us with new changes  every single day...in fact in life the only constant thing is change...so the more adaptable you are to change the more you survive...its almost telling us its survival for the most adaptive.

Its very important to stay strong and courageous to be able to handle or catch what life throws at you/us. Sometimes it sounds to me like a game...for you to catch a a ball or participate meaningfully in a game...you must play consciously...be a part of the game...you cannot catch the ball if you are spectating!!

So how do we do this....continue playing...continue dancing....don't let the grip of your life slip away....don't loose it....hold it tight and keep working at it!!!It may not be the music that you anticipated but continue dancing anyway!!For every day is a new day...a brand new day and how it comes out is entirely dependent on you...and your decisions...no matter what comes your way!!

Just develop the spirit of a conqueror and let nothing stop you from being joyful and reaping the best out of life!

Have that unrelenting hope....that undying will and you will go places with it especially in  our storms!!!!
