WORTH READING 24 Oct 2007

Attitude Determines Attitude


I woke up early today, excited over all I get to do before the clock strikes
midnight. I have responsibilities to fulfill today. I am important.

My job is to choose what kind of day I am going to have.

Today I can complain because the weather is rainy or I can be thankful that
the grass is getting watered for free.

Today I can feel sad that I don't have more money or I can be glad that my
finances encourage me to plan my purchases wisely and guide me away from
waste.

Today I can grumble about my health or I can rejoice that I am alive.

Today I can lament over all that my parents didn't give me when I was
growing up or I can feel grateful that they allowed me to be born.

Today I can cry because roses have thorns or I can celebrate that thorns
have roses.

Today I can mourn my lack of friends or I can excitedly embark upon a quest
to discover new relationships.

Today I can whine because I have to go to work or I can shout for joy
because I have a job to do.

Today I can complain because I have to go to school or eagerly open my mind
and fill it with rich new tidbits of knowledge.

Today I can murmur dejectedly because I have to do housework or I can feel
honored because the Lord has provided shelter for my mind, body and soul.

Today stretches ahead of me, waiting to be shaped. And here I am, the
sculptor who gets to do the shaping.

What today will be like is up to me. I get to choose what kind of day I will
have!

WORTH READING 12 Oct 2007

Life Is Hard


Life's hard to live and still people make it harder to live. Just living
for right takes so much, that I wonder how people have time to do wrong,
foolish things, to make life more complicated.

Everyday is a duty, one hundred things to do and think of, you have your
family, your friends, your work, your home, your God, all to tend to in
twenty four hours. You oversee cooking, cleaning, clothing. You have
your daily prayer schedule or temple to go to, you have the needs of
father, Mother, Brother, Sister, Children to tend to. No one day is like
the other, many of the surprises are unwelcome.

We live each day working hard not knowing what tomorrow will bring. We
have a life to live and to live it righteously takes a lot, each day.
Morning to night is gone in no time. There is money to manage and just
when you have managed to save the rare bit something unexpected comes
along and you have to give it away.

You pay for your health, eat right, live right, spend to be healthy and
then unexpectedly something small, something stupid comes up and big
money goes, your days go. your whole schedule goes. Life is so
unexpected. You just about have time to be with the ones you love and
you live in that fragile stage because you never know when the ones you
love will go. We are busy living hard lives and we don't have choice but
to live it.

And so far I have just dealt with the external requirements our Life
demands. There are more important ones - the internal needs. We have so
much to deal with everyday. Life by the time you are thirty is packed.

Disappointments, sad memories, regrets, past issues, people who went
away, something is always on your mind. something is always tugging at
our heart strings. We have to clear our old deeds of another life-time
and we have to make sure we succeed in this because it is the main
reason of our lives, we have to undo all the wrong we have done in this
lifetime because then we never knew better, we have to come to terms
with certain things of our life, let go of other things, we have to make
peace with the war, we have to end wars and we have to live with us, the
us that no one knows.

Life can be so difficult, it is for almost all. Yet we are blessed to
able to go on for without the Blessing of God and His kingdom could we
manage any of this? We have no control over our lives yet we live it.,
we have no weapons against diseases yet we go on not thinking about it,
we have the old to take care of, the ill to look after, the additional
difficult new twists and turns to manage our daily life. suddenly there
can be a major change, suddenly there can be a major illness, suddenly
there can be a death and it has happened to many. But we continue to
live on. For, to live on righteously is all we are called to do.

Which is why I wonder how those who are not like us manage to live the
reckless and careless lives? yes Life is struggle , hardship, sweat,
work, and everything you don't want to hear. this is Life and sooner we
accept it, the better.

Life is difficult, our loved ones do fall ill, they will die someday,
money is a hassle, everyday living does make demands, anything happens
anytime, we don't know anything. And the unnecessary trouble human add
to our journey: deceptions, greed, backbiting, manipulations, hurt. What
can we do??

Nothing, move away from what we can move away from and continue no
matter what the distractions and disturbances to live righteously the
way we have committed to. It is a tough road but it id our road.

We don't want it easy, we only want goodness, honor, decency, the
ability to fulfill our duties, claim our soul's belongings, love who we
love, live small, live well, live honestly. We have many like us on this
path, they've made it, we will too. We have a duty towards Life and
never mind the millions who make it easy by taking the unrighteous path,
we will live here.

In my book of Life, really no matter what the difficulty, there is no
other way to live Life than to live it with dignity and duty, Because
that's what then makes it our Life.

The next time you don't give a 100% effort with something you do,
consider what 99.9% means! If 99.9% was good enough...

- 12 newborns would be given to the wrong parents daily!

- 114,500 mismatched pairs of shoes would be shipped per year!

- 18,322 pieces of mail would be mishandled per hour!

- 2,000,000 documents would be lost by the IRS this year. (We can handle
that one! LOL)

- 2.5 million books would be shipped with the wrong covers!

- This link would not take you to wear it is suppose to take you!

- 315 entries in Webster's Dictionary would be misspelled!

- 20,000 incorrect drug prescriptions would be written each year!

- 880,000 credit cards in circulation would turn out to have incorrect
cardholder information on their magnetic strips!

- 103,260 income tax returns would be processed incorrectly per year!

- 5.5 million cases of soft drinks produced would be flat!

- 291 pacemaker operations would be performed incorrectly!

- 3056 copies of tomorrow's Wall Street Journal would be missing one of
the three sections!

- A typical day would be 24 hours long (give or take 86.4 seconds)!

Don't Settle for Good, Be Great
-By Henry Neils

Did you know that home-run king Babe Ruth was once a pitcher? At one
point he made the deliberate decision to stop pitching so he could focus
on batting. He took a lot of heat for his decision, because he was a
good pitcher. He stuck with his decision, though, because he knew he had
the motivation to be a great batter.

Often the difference between being good and being great is making
adjustments that allow you to spend more of your time developing your
greatest strengths.

Ever had an annual performance review where the first part was about the
wonderful things you did that year, but then the focus quickly shifted
to a discussion about shoring up your weaknesses? It's an all-too-common
scenario. And it's probably a waste of time.

The "fix your weaknesses" school believes that with enough discipline,
determination, and training, anyone can do anything. Unfortunately, it
confuses weaknesses and limitations. Weaknesses reflect a lack of skill
(how to do something) or knowledge (what you know). Weaknesses can be
overcome by education, training, experience, and practice. On the other
hand, limitations reflect a lack of motivation (what you do well
naturally). These really can't be overcome, because new motivations
can't be acquired. In fact, if a person has low motivation in a
particular area -- spelling, for example -- there is very little
likelihood that he or she will ever be a great speller. The best they
will be is adequate. Who wants to be adequate?

It's a much better idea to build on your strengths.

If you want to move up from being good to being great, know what your
talents and motivations are and build on them. Why? Because you will
develop what you do best and enjoy most. These are your strengths, and
they are yours for life. You can build on them, and they won't let you
down. Think about it: what would your life be like if you got paid to do
what you do best and truly enjoy? Awesome, I bet.

The Truth About Failure

Failure doesn't mean you are a failure... ...it does mean you haven't
succeeded yet.

Failure doesn't mean you have accomplished nothing... ...it does mean
you
have learned something.

Failure doesn't mean you have been a fool... ...it does mean you had a
lot
of faith.

Failure doesn't mean you have been disgraced... ...it does mean you were
willing to try.

Failure doesn't mean you don't have it... ...it does mean you have to do
something in a different way.

Failure doesn't mean you are inferior... ...it does mean you are not
perfect.

Failure doesn't mean you've wasted your life... ...it does mean you've a
reason to start afresh.

Failure doesn't mean you should give up... ...it does mean you should
try
harder.

Failure doesn't mean you'll never make it... ...it does mean it will
take a
little longer.

Failure doesn't mean God has abandoned you... ...it does mean God has a
better idea!

Two Days Without Worry


There are two days in every week about which we should not worry, two
days which should be kept free from fear and apprehension.

One of these days is Yesterday with all its mistakes and cares, its
faults and blunders, its aches and pains. Yesterday has passed forever
beyond our control. All the money in the world cannot bring back
Yesterday.

We cannot undo a single act we performed; we cannot erase a single word
we said. Yesterday is gone forever.

The other day we should not worry about is Tomorrow with all its
possible adversities, its burdens, its large promise and its poor
performance; Tomorrow is also beyond our immediate control.

Tomorrow's sun will rise, either in splendor or behind a mask of clouds,
but it will rise. Until it does, we have no stake in Tomorrow, for it is
yet to be born.

This leaves only one day, Today. Any person can fight the battle of just
one day. It is when you and I add the burdens of those two awful
eternities, Yesterday and Tomorrow that we break down.

It is not the experience of Today that drives a person mad, it is the
remorse or bitterness of something which happened Yesterday and the
dread of what Tomorrow may bring.

Let us, therefore, Live but one day at a time.

The Cage Door


A fable tells about two birds, each in a cage with food and water. One
bird rebelled against his conditions, rejected the food and kept
knocking his head against the cage door. A few hours later, he died of
his injuries.
The other bird said, "Nothing's worth dying that way.

Let me enjoy the food and water and be grateful for the little space in
which I can fly." At the end of the day, the master came to free both
birds.

But only one was ready and able to enjoy freedom while the other lost it
once and forever.

Our life may get trapped in a cage. Closed doors might be health
problems, job problems, financial limitations, feeling of rejection and
insecurity, marriage problems, inability to meet your life partner, etc.

If we focus on the closed door, we will eventually act like the poor
bird. But if we enjoy our life the way it is granted, we will eventually
be freed. In such situations, "It is good that one should hope and wait
quietly
for the salvation of the Lord."

Drops of Oil


A certain shopkeeper sent his son to learn about the secret of happiness
from the wisest man in the world. The lad wandered through the desert
for forty days, and finally came upon a beautiful castle, high atop a
mountain. It was there that the wise man lived.

Rather than finding a saintly man though, our young lad, on entering the
main room of the castle, saw a hive of activity tradesmen came and went,
people were conversing in the corners, a small orchestra was playing
soft music, and there was a table covered with platters of the most
delicious food in that part of the world.

The wise man listened attentively to the boy's explanation of why he had
come, but told him that he didn't have just then to explain the secret
of happiness.

He suggested that the boy look around the palace and return in two
hours. Meanwhile, I want to ask you to do something, said the wise man,
handing the boy a teaspoon that held two drops of oil. As you wander
around, carry this spoon without allowing the oil to spill.

The boy began climbing and descending the many stairways of the castle,
keeping his eyes fixed on the spoon. After two hours, he returned to the
room where the wise man was.

Well, said the wise man, did you see the Persian tapestries that are
hanging in the dining hall? Did you see the garden that took the master
gardener 10 years to create? Did you notice the beautiful parchments in
my library?

The boy was embarrassed, and confessed that he had observed nothing. His
only concern had been not to spill the oil that the wise man had
entrusted to him.

Then go back and observe the marvels of my world, said the wise man.
Relieved, the boy picked up the spoon and returned to his exploration of
the palace, this time observing all the works of art on the ceilings and
the walls. He saw the gardens and the mountains all around him, the
beauty of the flowers. Upon returning to the wise man, he related in
detail everything he had seen.

But where are the drops of oil I entrusted to you, asked the wise man.
Looking down at the spoon he held, the boy saw that the oil was gone.
Well, there is only one piece of advice I can give you, said the wisest
of wise men. The secret of happiness is to see all the marvels of the
world, and never to forget the drops of oil on the spoon.

This story serves as just a little reminder that while we get all caught
up in the frenzy of work and assignments, we mustn't forget about the
drops of oil, the things in life that really matter... friends,
family... and the ties that bind..

WORTH READING 1 Oct 2007

You Are Unique


Enjoy that uniqueness. You do not have to pretend in order to seem more
like someone else. You weren't meant to be like someone else. You do not
have to lie to conceal the parts of you that are not like what you see
in
anyone else.

You were meant to be different. Nowhere ever in all of history will the
same things be going on in anyone's mind, soul and spirit as are going
on in yours right now.

If you did not exist, there would be a hole in creation, a gap in
history, something missing from the plan for humankind. Treasure your
uniqueness. It is a gift given only to you. Enjoy it and share it!

No one can reach out to others in the same way that you can. No one can
speak your words. No one can convey your meanings. No one can comfort
with your kind of comfort. No one can bring your kind of understanding
to another person.

No one can be cheerful and lighthearted and joyous in your way. No one
can smile your smile. No one else can bring the whole unique impact of
you to another human being.

Share your uniqueness. Let it be free to flow out among your family and
friends and people you meet in the rush and clutter of living wherever
you are. That gift of yourself was given you to enjoy and share. Give
yourself
away!

See it! Receive it! Let it tickle you! Let it form you and nudge you and
inspire you!
