Developing a prosperous mind-set

May 25, 2007

Good to know that their are people viewing my blog. Continue to support me k… give me some feedback to improve

Today as i was sitting on the bus, i read a story that i think i could share with u.

Years ago, there was a poor man who wanted to travel from US to Europe. He worked hard, saved every extra penny he could, and finally had just enough to purchase a ticket aboard a cruise ship. the trip at that time required about two or three weeks to cross the ocean. He went out and bought a suitcase and filled it full of cheese and crackers. That’s all he could afford.

Once on board, all the other passengers went to the large, ornate dinning room to eat their gourment meals. Meanwhile, the poor man would go over in the corner and eat his cheese and crackers. This went on day after day. He could smell the delicious food being served in the dining room. He heard the other passengers speak of it in glowing terms as they rubbed their bellies and complained about how full they were, and how they would have to go on a diet after the trip. The poor traveler wanted to join the other guests in the dinning room, but he had no extra money. Sometimes he’d lie awake at night dreaming of the sumptuous meals the other guests described.

Towards the end of the trip, another man came up to him and said,” Sir, i can’t help but notice that you are always over there eating those cheese and crackers at mealtimes. Why don’t you come into the banquet hall and eat with us?”

The traveler’s face flushed with embarrassment. “well, to tell you the truth, i had only enough money to buy the ticket. i don’t have any extra money to purchase fancy meals.”

The other passenger raised his eyebrows in surprise. He shook his head and said, “Sir, don’t you realise the meals are included in the price of the ticket? your meals have already being paid for!”

When i first saw that story, it reminds me not to eat more cheese and crackers. How many people are similar to that naive traveler. They are missing out on God’s best for them because they don’t realise that the good things in life have already been paid for. 

Everytime we shrink back and say, “Well, i can’t do it; i don’t have what it takes, ” we’re eating more cheese and crackers. Everytime we go around full of fear, worry, anxiety, or are uptight about something, we’re eating more cheese and crackers. So stop eating cheese and cracker. Start living with faith that goods things will happen to you. All the Best!!

Choosing the right thought

March 28, 2007

today, i am going to share with u all choosing the right thought.

 I am sure that most of you have heard that choosing the right thought is important. But we need to constantly remind ourselves everyday, if not we will be down when there is problem occuring in our lives.

Many do not realise that we can choose our thought. Nobody can make us think about something. You decide what you will entain in your mind. Simply because the enemy plants a negative, discouraging thought in your brain doesn’t mean you need to “water” it, nurture it, and help it to grow.

No, you can choose to cast it down and dismiss it from your mind. If you made a mistake and start dwelling on the problem,  that thought will affect your emotions, your attitudes, and if you continue to give it free rein in you mind, it will inevitably affect your actions. You will be much prone with discouragement and depression.

The first step to deal with this is to think about what you’re thinking about. What are you allowing your mind to dwell on? are you forced on your problems? are you constantly dwelling on negatives things? how you view your life makes all the difference in the world.

The first place we must win the victory is in our own minds. if you don’t think you can be successful, then you never will be. if you don’t think your body can be healed, it never will be. if you don’t think god  can turn our life around, the He probably won’t. Remember, “As a person thinks in his heart, so he will became.” When you think thoughts of failure, you are destined to fail. when you think thoughts of mediocrity, you are destined to live an average, just-get-by life. But when youo align your thoughts with god’s thoughts and you start dwelling on the promises of His words, when you constantly dwell on thoughts of His victory, favor, faith, power, and strength, nothing can hold you back. When you think positive excellent thoughts, you will be propelled towards greatness, inevitable bound for increas, promotion, and God’s supernatural blessings.

We receive what we believe

March 24, 2007

Sorry for not write fot the past one week or so, just too tired and busy to get online. Come read the blog and give me comment so that i know there are people reading and how they feel about my blog.

 Today i am going to share about BELIEVE. I know many people will say: “oh, its the same thing again.” but we need to constant remind ourself that we become what we believe. So guys, start believe for great things to happen in your life. see yourself performing at increasing higher levels in every area of life. When you encounter tough times, don’t expect to stay there. Expect to come out of the trouble.

When business gets a bit slow, don;t expect to go bankrupt; don;t make plans for failure. If you go through difficulties in your marriage, don;t simply give up in frustration and say:” I should have known that this marriage was doomed from the start.” No, your own wrong thinking will bring you down. you’re got to change your thinking. change what you expect. Quit expecting to fail. Start believing that you are going to succeed.

Even if the bottom falls out of your life, your attitude should be:”I know that i am going to turn around and be stronger than ever before.” As we have already established, here is where self image comes into play. if we see ourself as barely making it, always having problems, never happy, we will subconsciously move towards that sort of life. to move forward in life, we must change our focus. we must believe that God can turn our situation around and use it for good.

Do you believe there is god? let me know your opinion…

Joy of giving

March 10, 2007

Today, let me share with you the joy of giving…

Society teaches us to look out for number one. “What’s in it for me? I’ll help you, but what will I get in return?” We readily acknowledge this as the “me” generation, and that same narcissism sometimes spills over our relationship with families, friends and one another.

Many people nowadays are blatantly and unashamedly living for themselves. They’re not interested in other people. They don’t have time to help others in need. They focus only on what they want, what they need, what they feel will most benefit themselves. Ironically, this selfish attitude condemns them to living shallow, unrewarding lives. No matter how much they acquire for themselves, they are never satisfied.

Friend, if you want to experience a new level of joy, if you wan blessings and favor in your life, then you’re going to have to get your mind off yourself. You must learn to be a giver and not a taker. Quit trying to figure out what everybody can do for you, and start trying to figure out what you can do for somebody else. We were not made to function as self-involved people, thinking only for ourselves. No, God created us to be givers. And you will never be truly fulfilled as a human being until you learn the simple secret of how to give your life for others.

You may not realize it, but it is extremely selfish to go around always dwelling on your problems, always thinking about what you want or need, and hardly noticing the many needs of others all around you. One of the best things you can do if you’re having problem is to help solve somebody else’s problem. If you want your dreams to come true, help someone else fulfill his or her dreams.

When you reach out to other in need, god will make sure that your own needs are supplied. If you’re lonely today, don’t sit around feeling sorry for yourself. Go help someone else who is lonely. If you’re down and discouraged, don’t focus on your own need. Get your mind off yourself and go help meet someone else’s need. Go visit the nursing home or a children’s hospital. Call a friend and encourage that person. If you’re struggling financially, go out and help somebody who has less that you have.

You may say, “I don’t have anything to give.” Sure you do! You can give a smile. You can give a hug. You can bake someone a cake. You can visit someone in the hospital or in a senior citizens’ centre. You can write somebody an encouraging letter. Somebody needs what you have to share. Somebody needs your smile. Somebody needs your love. Somebody needs your friendship. Somebody needs your encouragement. We need one another.

Giving is a spiritual principal. Whatever you give will be given back to you. If you give a smile, you will receive smiles from others. If you are generous to people in their time of need, others will be generous to you in time of your need. Interesting, isn’t it? So start giving smile to people. Don’t grumble why this person that person always pull their faces at me? Start examine yourself. Have you being smiling to others?
Someone needs what you have to give. It may not be your money; it may be your time. It may be your listening ear. It may be your arms to encourage. It may be your smile to uplift. Who knows? Make a decision that you will live to give. Be on the lookout each day for someone you can bless. Don’t live for yourself; learn to give, and your life will make a difference.

Asking passionate people to join us in volunteering to give. If you are interested to help out in counseling, events and activities for youth, we invite you to join us. Write to us about yourself and state the areas you are good in to help. Send to ice_cream1825@hotmail.com

SMILE

February 26, 2007

Today i am going to continue to talk about being happy. 

One of the healthiest things you can do is learn to smile more often. When we smile, it sends a message to our whole body, setting the time for our lives. Studies tell us when we smile, certain chemicals are released that travel throughout our system, relaxing us and helping us stay healthy. Whether you have a reason to smile or not, make up your mind that you are going to smile anyway.

Learn how to laugh. Quit being so uptight and stressed out. A relaxed attitude will not only lengthen your life, it will make it much more emjoyable.

That in itself is reason enough to quit complaining and start rejoicing. Stop complaining and give thanks in everything that happen to you. Compare yourself with people whom has worst situation than you. Think about people in the third world country who does not even has a sheltered and secure house. Anytime of the day there will be natural disaster swiping their house away. When you have problems with financial, there are people who didn’t have any money feed their stomach every meals, there are people who does not have money to subscribe to internet to increase their knowledge. When you have problems with health, there are people in the hospital struggling to fight the diseases that is with them for years. Always think about those people who you can help. This will help you to be content with who you are and give thanks everyday.

Research shows that people who smile live longer. Want to have long HAPPY life? Start SMILING to everyone today…

Share with me how you can give thanks and appreciate everyday of your life…

Choose to be HAPPY everday

February 23, 2007

Hi, this is my first topic about happiness. A lot of ppl is finding happiness in life, so what exactly is happiness and how to be happy. Hope that today’s topic Choose to be HAPPY everyday will highlightened you in your life.

Happiness is a choice. when u get up in the morning, you can choose to be happy and enjoy that day, or you can choose to be unhappy and go around with soar attitude. It’s up to you.

You may be going through tough times, or you may have a major obstacles in your path, all of which give you good reason to be unhappy or upset. But being unhappy won’t change anything for the better. Being negative and sour isn’t going to improve anything either. You might as well choose to be happy and enjoy your life! When you do that, not only will you feel better, but wonders will show up  in your life. Think about your love ones, do they want to see you unhappy. They want you to enjoy every single day of your lives.

To do so, you must stop fretting about the future. Quit worrying about how everything is going to turn out. Live one day at a time, make the most of this moment. It’s good to have a big-picture outlook, to set goals, to establish budgets and make plans, but if you’re always living in the future, you’re never really enjoying the present.

When we focus too much on the future, we are often frustrated because we don’t know what’s coming. Naturally, the uncertainty increases our stress level and creates a sense of insecurity. If we’re worried about tomorrow right now, we are bound to be frustrated and discouraged. You must learn to live one day at a time. By an act of your will, choose to start enjoying your life now. Life is too short not to enjoy every single day. Learn to enjoy your family, your friends, your health, your work; enjoy everything in your life. Happiness is a decision  you make, not an emtion you feel, as Adam Khoo also said. Certainly there are times in all of our lives when bad things happen, or things don’t turn out as we had hoped. But that’s when we must make a decision that we’re going to be happy in spite of our circumstances.

welcome those who read this to feedback to me how this passage has help you and what you did to choose to be happy at that very moment. Thanks

 cheer:)
