Thoughts Of The Day

How “Hope” Can Keep You Happy If You Do It Right “The very purpose of our life is happiness, which is sustained by hope. We have no guarantee about the future, but we exist in the hope of something better. Hope means keeping going, thinking, ‘I can do this.’ It brings inner strength, self- confidence, the ability to do what you do honestly, truthfully and transparently.”  – Dalai Lama " N ow,  hope can lead to anxiety! How?   when the things we hoped for and planned for sometimes do not come to pass as we have wished. Becoming fixed on a hope we have in our head, about how we believe our future will transpire, can become a real source of anxiety and suffering rather than happiness. Why? Because when the plans that we were confident would turn out the way we  hoped doesn't play out  ,we may find ourselves sinking into unhappiness, and/or anxiety. We may lose hope in hope.  Now the question is s hould we never make plans then? Of course not. We can and sh

I can do whatever I need to do in life  through Christ . "I have strength for all things in Christ who empowers me [ I am ready for anything and equal to anything through him who infuses inner strength into me; I am self-sufficient in Christ's sufficiency]. Philippians 4:13 " The first power thought that has the power to transform our life is simply;   I can do whatever i need to do in life through Christ. In other words, i can handle whatever life hands me. I wonder, do you believe you can do whatever you need to do in life? or are there certain things trigger dread, fear, or cause you to say, " I could never do that !" when you think about them? The fact of the matter is, while some situations may be intensely undesirable or difficult for you, you can do whatever you need to do in life. I know this because God tells us in His word that we have the strength to do all things because Christ empowers us to do so. Philippians 4:13. He doesn't say ev

Release the Weight of Worry . It is one thing to know that we should not worry and its another thing to stop worrying. one of the things that helped me let go of worrying was that i finally realised how utterly useless it was getting worried over what won't change because i worried about it. The bible is full of sound proven advice about not worrying and dealing with worry. for example in Philippians 4;6 says be anxious for nothing, but in all circumstances to let our prayer requests be known to God with thanksgiving. Even down to verse 7, he then encourages us by saying that the peace of God will fill our hearts and minds. Thinking about it, how many problems have you solved by worrying? how much time have you spent worrying about things that never even happened? has anything ever gotten better as a result of your worrying about it? lets be sincere, NO .  The moment you begin to worry or feel anxious, give your concern to God_because it is normal to feel

Breaking up Bad Habit What is a habit? Habit is an action performed repeatedly and automatically, usually without awareness. We all have habits different types , many of them are unique. Habits that are harmless are not necessarily the ones we must be concerned with, but the harmful habits need to be broken and replaced with good ones. God offers each of us a great life we must renew our minds and learn to think on purpose if we want to experience all He has planned for us.   Bad habits are not broken simply because we want to break some bad habit such as  Swearing,  Picking Your Nose,  Biting Fingernails etc. ; we must break them on purpose and that will require diligence and determination. Referring to the bible, David said that the man who wants to prosper and succeed needs to habitually ponder and meditate on God’s word day and night psalm 1:2-3. With enough discipline and consistency, we can break bad habits and new ones can be formed. When you breaking

POSITIVE THINKING RELEASES THE POWER OF POTENTIAL . People who think positively can see potential in even the most discouraging situations, while those who do not think positively are quick to point out the situations' problems and limitations. One of the best stories that showed positive thinking releases the power of potential took place centuries ago. God promised the people of Israel they would posses a rich land and fertile country known as Canaan. He didn't promise them its going to be easy, but he did promise them they would inhabit it- and when God makes a promise he keeps it. The Israelite did send 12 men to go to Canaan to "spy out the land" and bring back a report. When they returned, 10 spies admitted that the land flowed with milk and honey but said the land was full of giants who would be impossible yo overcome, they allowed the presence of the giants to detract from the promises of God. Joshua and Caleb brought back go

  Previously, was talking about developing your potential, today accessing yourself is gonna be thought of today.   ACCESSING  YOUR SELF "You know what comes easily to you and these strengths can be developed fairly rapidly. Yet your natural power may not be enough".   To reach your full potential, you need to develop all the key attributes. For example, lack of confidence is a general barrier to advancing on whatever area of your life. If you are someone who has feelings to low self-esteem, or lack of courage of your convictions, you will have to work hard to maximize your self-confidence. Being yourself development by looking objectively at your abilities and where they most need to be improved. 4.        Form long term ambitions to help you notice                                                                    Chances to move forward. 5.        Take responsibility at the earliest opportunity .
