~Negative Thoughts~

We've heard the term or phrase " you need to balance your life". Well, life is about a balance.  The good and bad, right and wrong, pretty and ugly and the highs and lows. we must understand that there is a key to happiness, and the master is up to you to act once you discover what it is.

Happiness comes from within. It doesn't matter what your circumstances are; happiness comes from within and you have control. You have the power to change your mindset so that all the negative, horrible and punishing thoughts that try to invade your mind can be replaced with positive, joyous and happy thoughts.

Remember, life is series of moments and these moments are always changing. These moments consists of good and bad, positive and negative. Yes, its human nature to dwell on things that are not conducive to our well being, but this channel must be broken!

Listen, moments are precious, so please don't let negativity linger in your mind and heart. As soon as negativity arrives you have the power the change it to positive.  Negative thoughts can create a crisis in anyone's life.

Late President John F. Kennedy made this statement in 1963, before he was assassinated.  "Crisis written in Chinese represents two characters:  The first is Danger, and the other Opportunity: So, lets be positive. By being positive we can save a life, change a mind, or turn a crisis into an opportunity.

Negative thoughts are the causes of all depression and stress. Therefore, never allow your mind to be infected with negative thoughts.

~The Power of Words~

We live and breathe words and this is why I know and believe that words are very powerful. I now understand that words travel and they carry weight. I do believe that life and death are in the power of the tongue. I also believe that success and failure lies in the power of the tongue as well.

Understand that life is under no obligation to give us what we expect, but the words we speak are. Words have the power to bring greatest of happiness or the deepest despair. Words can transfer knowledge from one person to another. Words can bring healing. The right words can lift a spirit up or destroy that very same spirit.

Therefore, speak with integrity, avoid using negative words that speak against yourself and others. Use the power of your words to speak truth, love and the will of God! Not knowing the force and power of words can be so detrimental.

The power of words can speak things into existence. We are reminded by God to speak things that are not as though they are!

The correct words bring understanding,  soothe emotions, create creativity, can cause positive imaginations, open doors of success and prosperity, bring healing and increase knowledge! The power of words can change any outcome in your life, good or bad. Just remember, negative words can bring defeat, misery, and even death. While positive words will  bring opposite of what I've just stated.


Are your words more Negative or Positive when you speak?

~Mysteries~

The very quality of life, whether you love it or hate it, is based upon how grateful you are towards God. It is one's attitude that determines whether life unfolds into a place of curses, blessedness or wretchedness. Think for a moment, looking at the same rose bush, some people complain that the rose has thorns, while others rejoice that some thorns come with the roses. It all depends on your perspective. Thorns on a rose bush are there for a purpose and most times we come out stronger after we've gone through a struggle.

Men and women who turn their lives over to God will discover that He will make a lot more out of their lives than they can. He can deepen their joys, expand their visions, quicken their minds, strengthen their muscles, lift their spirits, multiply their blessings, increase their opportunities, comfort their souls, and pour out peace. And, these are only a few things that will take place once your life is turned over to Him.

I believe that each of us are here for a reason. And, when we allow the word of God to direct our lives those reasons are revealed. I believe The power of Jesus is working today. Indwelling every heart that gives Him access. There is not a problem on Earth that cannot be resolved. Our attitudes can determine success or failure in each of our lives.

Each morning I awaken my knees are bent, head bowed and I am acknowledging God Almighty. My prayer each day consist of asking God for wisdom, knowledge, revelation knowledge, understanding, Great Grace (Favor) in the site of God and man and that the Great power of God will consume my life. Remember, you are who God says you are, you have what God says you have, and you can do what God says you can.

As you move forward each day say this aloud:
A) I am Strong, Courageous, Humble, Full of faith and Powerful in the Lord.

 Remember, words are very powerful, and can many times make or break us. The word of God states that life and death are in the power of the tongue. Speak positive words into your life each day and in every situation and into the lives of your family. We are to speak things that are not as though they are. Its called faith!!!

~Greatness Within~

Your greatness allows you to fly high like the eagle... But fear and a lack of knowledge clips our wings and cause us to stay ground bound!

We have a fear of our own greatness,  a fear of others thinking that we are bragging on ourselves. But you must acknowledge who you are. And, walk the path God has preordained for you. We limit ourselves by our thought process.

I believe in all of us is a greatness that has yet to be discovered. I also believe that our first reaction is to doubt our greatness once it is discovered. So many of us, myself included, have played small for so long when it comes to our abilities and gifts.

We have shun our unique gifts and diminished our capacities just to what I call "fit in" -- and in the process have unconsciously disowned many aspects of our inborn, natural greatness.

I believe our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that scares us the most.

Is this true in your life? Do you fear some aspect of your own greatness?

What unique talents, capabilities and capacities do you have that you could acknowledge and appreciate more?

How can you demonstrate and cultivate those gifts more and express them with greater consistency in your everyday life?

Listen, your greatness is your birthright. God instilled this greatness in you from birth. ... Are you ready to claim it?

Before we gain knowledge of who we are our minds are an open book,  pages are blank and white. As we listen knowledge enters,  secrets are soon discovered and hidden things are found, words slowly fill the blank white pages of our minds as to how great we truly are. These imprinted words don't make noise as they are being written, but they make a powerful impact.

You have dreams you don't know about, but knowledge causes a knock on your door and now you see. Once you gain knowledge as to who you are, it will be hard to remain in the place you've lived for so long.

So, walk in your destiny. and if you don't know who you are yet seek God's face. Many times you can inquire of a good friend as to how they see and receive you. Start walking!!!

~See your greatness in you~

~When Things Seems Wrong~

We've all encountered issues in our lives. Some of these issues seems bigger than life itself, but are they? It is so easy to get lost in inside of problems, especially when these problems seem to cover us with fear. They appear to mount as high as mountains, as deep as the ocean and run as swift  as a river.

It's as though you are being swallowed up with no where to turn, and with each turn or wiggle you sink deeper. You worry, your heart pounds, you even lose your appetite. Your thoughts are consumed with whatever issues are. You seem to be paralyzed in thoughts and surrounded by fear.

Stop for a moment as ask yourself this question: Can I change my situation? If I can, then why am I worrying? Listen, life is passing you by while you are sitting around worrying about things you cannot change. Worrying about all the wrong things while time is passing you by.  The time you are wasting by worrying you can't get back. And when its all said and done you will realize that the mountain you've been climbing was just a little hill or maybe even a grain of sand.

Do you know that what you've been worrying to obtain to resolve your issues were already within your reach? But fear and worry has blinded you, causing you not to see it.

When we realize that everything we will ever need God has already supplied, it makes everything including our worries seem so small.

Being not afraid is a secret of life. Fear paralyzes you to the point of not thinking clearly, causing you to close yourself off from others. With each fearful thought its like quicksand causing to to sink deeper in depression. Fear stunts your growth, narrows your ambitions, and kill your dreams.

Food for thought, when things seem to be going wrong, they just could be going right because when you are in God's plan or will, negatives things to you just maybe part or God's positive program for your life.

So don't fear, fret or worry. These will cause you to age and possibly die before your time!!! Your help is a prayer away, but only if you truly believe!!!

~Everyday Matters~

Some may think that life is made up of jobs, meetings, lunches, etc.  People enter into your space and lives everyday. we say good morning, hello, good evening, good bye and good night. Some of these people stay around for a short period of time, some for months, some for years and some for a life time. Bottom line is this, people come, people stay and people leave. But, how does your life affect those that enter your life?

What you do everyday matters more than you know. The way you perceive yourself, your though process, your attitude towards others including family and those whom you work with on a daily basis. Yes, everyday matters...

No matter what we do, each instance contains infinite choices. What we choose to think, what we choose to say  or hear creates what we feel in the present moment, it contains the quality of our communication and in the quality of our everyday life.

Every single day is a good day no matter how bright or how dark it is, because each day brings an opportunity to start a new positive beginning in your life. The truth of the matter is, what you do matters. What you do each today matters. What you do everyday matters.

I've learned that what we do is recorded in God's book of life. Detail upon flawless detail. Everything we do everyday matters. Nothing is just trivial. It is all profoundly significant, and life is meaningful and full of purpose, making everyday matter. I believe that when you truly realize that everyday matters we will cease to minimize what is going on in our lives. We will see that everything we do has an eternal worth.

We must retrain our thinking capacity concerning ourselves. We are not just simple individuals with little or no impact on the world or the people that are in our inner circle. Understand that everything we do has import - (meaning what we do can affect other lives),  and God is involved in the details of our lives!

The illustration above shows an Eagle soaring and gliding to new heights. Let your life do the same. Don't continue in the same path everyday, thinking dull thoughts of yourself, the world and others. Understand that everyday matters and you truly make a significant impact on the world, family and everyone who enters your life, your space and within your overall inner circle.

 Be the best you, see each day as a new opportunity, seize the moment to make a difference. Honestly, you are very special.

You know what? It's difficult to think highly of others until you think more highly of yourself! Believe that God has placed you here for a specific purpose, believe you make a difference, and everything you do Everyday Matters!!!

Now, do this for me:
Think of someone in your family and outside of your family that you don't really care for. The secret to this is, usually the first names and faces that come into mind are the ones you do not like or care for. But, please hear this: Your beliefs and attitudes are made of thoughts, good or bad. Negative thoughts of someone can be changed and by doing so we create for ourselves a more pleasant surroundings within ourself and have a different and more positive impact on the people around us!

So, free yourself of bondage - think out of the box concerning you and your life - believe that you are special - believe that you make a tremendous difference wherever you go. 

*Everyday Truly Matters and how we live and think makes a tremendous difference*

~Relationships~

There is a cliche' that says: "opposites attract." Being opposite is a positive thing, especially in a relationship. If both parties in a relationship are the same I don't think the relationship would be as exciting as it could be. You need to be different for the relationship to work. Being different doesn't mean you won't share the same likes. Love brings inconvenience to convenience.

Lets talk Equality:

Equality in a relationship does not means sameness. It means each person is valued for the contribution they bring to the table.  In fact, the very differences we have are perhaps our greatest strengths when they are recognized and used effectively instead of being at odds with one another.

All of us seek completeness when we feel incomplete. Therefore, the search begins to find that person to complete us, and when we do we will know beyond a shadow of a doubt that this person is the one.

However, when you're in a relationship and still feel incomplete, sometimes the companions are blamed. There is another cliche' which  states: "The grass looks greener on the other side." It doesn't mean that it is, but the search begins again for someone more promising and compatible.

This search can go on for years and years; while a partner can add sweet dimensions to our lives and help make us feel complete, we are ultimately responsible for our own fulfillment and happiness. No one else can provide that for us, and to believe otherwise is deluded ... which means (impose a misleading belief upon (someone) ... (deceive or fool yourself or someone else). And this can potentially  lead you to  eventual failure for every relationship you enter into.

Please don't get me wrong, your spouse, mate, partner ... who ever has entered your life as your companion should strongly contribute to your happiness and completeness and should make you feel very special, and you should fit together like a hand and glove, but you are the person to make you happy and complete. 

~The ultimate of course is God!~
