WHAT WILL YOU DO?

 

 

Many people have sealed their hearts as such that they do not want to hear anyone telling them what forgiveness is about. Majority of these people are being forced to reach that stage of life where they made up their minds never to forgive anyone. The rest of them are born with unforgiving nature.  In the phrase of life, there are hundreds of human who cross our path in everyday life. We meet people in the market. We work with people in our offices. We walk alongside people in the metro, on the street, in the subway and we drive on the same road with people.

So tell me, is there any way that we can avoid being offended in life?  How many times today had someone stepped on your toes?  Can you do without having any encounter with people? Then why do you need to be at peace with those around you? 

It is very important you realize that people are vital part of you. You must equally know that as human being, we are not created with the same behavioural attitudes. We are different. The entire world would have been plunged in chaos and disasters if all of us are the same in characters and everything. Personally I rejoice in our differences; the varieties of what made us the humans we are. This is the reason for you to understand how to deal with people.

One simple truth is that you will be greatly annoyed, attacked, oppressed, and furious over any situation or anybody. Nevertheless, you have to forgive.

This is the main subject of this article. Forgive, and then forgive. It does not matter who that person is? It is not important the level at which you are offended or the degree of the offence.  The most sacrificial heart is that someone who has mastered the ‘art’ of forgiveness. Do you know that you expand your lifespan when you forgive?  Do you remember that you gain more respect, and also earn complete happiness by this?

Besides, how many times have you wronged others and they have forgiven you? What do you think could have happened to you if these people had refused to pardon your wrongs?

I implore you to start today to let go of whatever pains you hold in your heart against anybody. Have you been abused in any way while a child? Has your spouse done something terrible that got you to that point that you have made up your mind not to forgive? Did someone say nasty words to you that you found unforgivable? Is it your mother, your father, your siblings, or your friend? Do you have a boss whom you hate so much?

Learn to let go. Forgive right away! Release yourself from the burden of the agony. Do not carry it onto 2009!

 

Cheers!

JUST FOR YOU

 

Have you been able to ask yourself what exactly do you wish for your life in the year 2009? I want you to realize that the earlier you start going about it, the better for you. For a man or a woman to be successful in life; you need to be completely organized in whatever you do. This goes the same with how you plan for the New Year ahead.

I strongly believe deep down my heart that this New Year will be the best for you. However you have to be prepared for it. Do not just think that you will sit back and allow nature to take charge of your life. Do not conclude that without your effort, you will have all that you desire.

If you believe in the magic of gaining wealth without working for it, then you are joking. You will have what you work for. There may be chances of winning lottery or whatever; nevertheless life history makes us to understand that durable riches come to those who work for it.

This is December; it is the month that you must begin to set your priority for next year.  What have you looked out for in 2008 that has not come to you? Are you looking for financial breakthrough, great job, planning to marry, or buying your own house?

How do you go about achieving that goal?

 

1)    KNOW YOUR PRIORITY

 

You will not get far when you are jam-packed with lots of to-dos on your list. Select the most pressing; the important ones. Focus your ultimate attention on that. If you are able to accomplish them, which I know you will, then you can move on to the other s on your list.

 

2)    DEDICATE YOUR HEART

 

To achieve those goals, be ready to give the whole of your heart. Without commitment, you will not get to your goals.

  

3)    KEEP SEALED LIPS

 

I want you to show me a man who succeeds after running his mouth all over. When you babbles your plans everywhere, there are great tendency that you will not make it. Great successes exceed from a man who keeps his mouth shut.  You must be prepared to close your lips. It is not everything that you are about to do that you must reveal to those around you. Do not disclose to anyone what you want for the year 2009. When you are confronted with such question, be ready to be diplomatic with your response. You do not have to get angry while avoiding to answer.  You will understand sooner why it is a must for you to maintain your sense of secrecy. Be thoroughly discreet. Those around me find it difficult to know the next steps I will be taking in my life. I have been told directly that I am too secretive. You know what? I love it that way. Being quiet does not make you a proud person. You are just being wise by keeping your plans to yourself and for the sake of your life.

 

4)    REALM OF IMAGINATION

 

Welcome to the realm of unimaginable! I implore you to start visualizing your yet-to-come successes. Begin to create in your head the mental image of where you want to be next year. Do you know what? You are where you are today as result of your past thoughts.  Therefore, it is time for you to reverse your thoughts. Start dominating your spirit with positive thoughts. Imagine you have gotten that lucrative job, imagine you have married that dream woman or man you so much long for, imagine you are now the owner of that magnificent house, and imagine that the car you have been yearning for now belongs to you. What’s more?

Do you know that your only limit to all the successes that are for you is your imagination?

 

Now the question is; how do you want your New Year to be?

 

Cheers!

A SIMPLE ACT

                   

                   I must not go ahead without first expressing my gratitude for staying tune to my newsletter. To those of you who never stop writing me to express their comments, their opinions, their views, indeed, I appreciate them all. Thank you for your words, your suggestions, your encouragement, and of course your love. Thank you for your constant contacts through your emails, and phone.

 

May I ask you one question? How many times in a day have you been able to say ‘thank you’ for an act you receive from someone or for something wonderful that happened to you.

 

I would like to emphasis on the need for an act of appreciation. To genuinely express your gratitude goes farther than just the word you use in saying it.  How many of you have been able to truly understand that thanking someone for what you receive can open larger and unbelievable doors of opportunity in your life?

 

Perhaps, you may think that you have nothing to be grateful about. I want you to know that you have a lot to appreciate. Have you ever sit down for a while and thoroughly think about your life?  Have you reflected back to how you started this year, 2008, to where you are now in December?

 

In less than four weeks, the year 2008 will be over. You should think of what you have gone through, how you have been able to overcome so many troubles, and of course, how far you have gone since January. I bet you will understand that you have to be thankful.

 

You should be happy to express your appreciation that you have a roof over your head. Be grateful that you have the food, the drinks and sure, the clothing that you have need of.

 

These are enough reasons for you to appreciate the Creator. These are enough reasons for you to be grateful to the people who have helped you in the journey of your life.

 

You know what? It is not too late for you to do that. However, I implore you not to let this year pass without you going out to express your gratitude.

 

·         Go to those people who have been there for you through out this year. Go to thank them. Let them know that you have not forgotten them. Be genuine when telling them how grateful you are for their assistance. You may have gotten your job through the help of someone, go to that person and show that you are indeed thankful. Do you have someone who assists you financially, morally? And what’s more? Run to that person and say ‘thank you‘. You will surely gain more by doing this.

People will love to do more for you when they see that you appreciate    their efforts over you. On the second note, do not let that be the bases for the reason why you have visit them.

 

·         Be thankful for your life. Give thanks to God that you are still alive! Let your heart be filled with adoration. Looking back to the past months, I must confess it has not been that smooth. Did you see, notice or hear those devastating disasters happening all over the world? The nearly 200 hundred people who lost their lives in the Mumbai, India terrorists attack did not expect that for their lives. So also the dozens of Haitian children whose lives were sniffed off when their school building collapse over their head did not bargain for the horrible incident. These inhabitants in Montecito and Sylmar, the northern part of California would not have believed they would lose their homes to brush fire.

Do you see why you must thank God that He keeps you among the living?

 

·         Be thankful to yourself. You are who you are as a result of how you accept your life. Thank yourself. Appreciate your human person plus. By being grateful for your life, and for who you are, you are attracting goodness to yourself. Give yourself a big treat! It is your life, and no one else.  

 

·         Thank your family members. Tell you parents that you grateful they are there for you. Let your spouse know that you are thankful he or she is part of your life journey. Say to your children how much you appreciate them. Boldly thank your extended relatives.

 

You may not have the resource to present gifts to them. However important this is, do not be despair about this. Note that your word is sufficient when expressing your gratitude. Many people do not care that deep about gifts.

 

Go now, and say it!

 

Cheers!
