IDENTIFYING TRUE LOVE

We can only identify true love and know when we have found it, based on the Word of God. When we match our relationships up to what the Bible says that love is—and we are honestly prepared to make a life-long commitment to that person—then we can say that we are truly “in love.” The three keys to that statement are:
We have to…
look at the Word of God
be completely honest with ourselves

Understand the level of commitment that comes with true love.

7 STEPS TO GREATNESS

1. Pick the field you wish to specialize in; learn all you can about it, study the lives of the persons who have had outstanding success in that field, then strive to emulate their pattern of thinking.
2. Each day strive to put into action one or more of the qualities or traits that you have learned from the lives of great people.
3. Take specialized training to perfect your gifts and talents.
4. Let what I call Discontent motivate you in your desire to achieve perfection. Never be satisfied with your present accomplishments or progress.
5. Aim for the stars, even though you may not achieve them. At least such an ambitious mind will assure you of reaching some kind of high goal.
6. Create a vortex of mental activity about yourself. Break the inertia which may be holding you back by doing something, almost anything is preferable to sitting back and refusing to make an effort.
7. Never be satisfied with the limitations that life seems to have placed on you and your expression of your talents. Remember, all great people had to break the mould of negativity and limitation to achieve their dreams.

The power is within your mind to rise as high as you aspire. If you lack the education, look about you for the means to improve your mind and acquire knowledge.

FOLLOW YOUR DREAM

To change the world, you must follow your dream. Yes, follow your dream, take one step at a time, but just continue climbing. Follow your dream, if you stumble, don’t stop; keep your eyes on your goal, and press on to the top. When you’re at the top, you can see the whole view and you can see all what you have done so far and that which you can still do.

Is the pursuit of your dream like the climbing of a steep mountain? The climbing can be long, agonizing, and seemingly never ending. Only you can tell which mountain you have left unclimbed. There need to be no pretense with yourself. Are you climbing over your mountain, or are you celebrating on the peak of a smaller one? The minute you settle for less than you deserve, you get even less than you settled for.

CHANGE THE WORLD

Our world is but a reflection of who we are. Therefore, if we want to change the world, all we have to do is change ourselves. We don’t need to change our parents for raising their voices at us, but rather, we need to listen to them carefully when they speak.

We don’t need to change those who treat us like little kids, but rather act more maturely around them. We don’t also need to change our supervisors or bosses for not trusting us, but rather do an outstanding job consistently and gain their trust.

This world is not something mystical or unknown. The world is the exact reflection of that which we choose to ignore about ourselves. The way to change the world is not by changing the world itself, but by changing ourselves.

SECRETS OF LIFE

We can either build a strong foundation with the bricks that life throws at us or be crushed by them. One of the sure secrets of life is to make stepping stones out of stumbling blocks.

Know that you can either build a strong foundation with the bricks that life throws at you, or be crushed by them. Our success does not depend on our lives’ circumstances, but rather, our success depends on what we do about them. There is nothing in this world that can ever prevent us from succeeding, unless we allow it to.

Some people use adversities as pretext for not moving forward, and thereafter, they live life wondering… ‘what would have happened if this,…if that?’ We can save ourselves from all that trouble if we see occasional hardships as a mere tool to move forward. So then, do what you can, with what you have, where you are. Remember, you don’t measure people’s successes by how high they climb, but by how high they bounce when they hit the bottom at any point in time. WORD!

DON’T QUIT

When things go wrong, as they sometimes will, when the road you’re trudging seems all uphill, as they sometimes would, when the funds are low and the debts are high, you want to smile, but you have to sigh, I say take a REST if you must REST, but don’t you call it quit yet.

Often, the goal is nearer than it seems to a faint and faltered man. Most often, the struggler might have given up when he’s just about capturing the victory cup. Success like you know is failure turned inside out. It may be near when it seems afar; Just stick to the fight when you’re hardest hit, for it’s when things seem worse that you must not quit.

Keep in mind that making it is not a place to get to, but a constant process that we all must undergo. Right now, we might be making it, though it might not feel like we are. Do remember that most of the important things in the world have been accomplished by people who have kept on trying when there seemed to be no hope at all.

AMAZING COMPUTATION

If: A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z Is represented as:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26.
If: H-A-R-D-W-O- R- K 8+1+18+4+23+ 15+18+11 = 98%
And: K-N-O-W-L-E- D-G-E 11+14+15+23+ 12+5+4+7+ 5 = 96%
But: A-T-T-I-T-U- D-E 1+20+20+9+20+ 21+4+5 = 100%
THEN, look how far the love of God will take you:
L-O-V-E-O-F- G-O-D 12+15+22+5+15+ 6+7+15+4 = 101%
Therefore, one can conclude with mathematical certainty that:
While Hard Work and Knowledge will get you close, Attitude will get you there,
It's the Love of God that will put you over the top!

The Love of God is the needed extra you have to display to achieve amazing results.

YOUR EMMOTIONS

The daily ups and downs of our emotions are one of the major struggles we have with our relationships. Instead of riding the emotional roller coaster, we need to become stable, solid, steadfast, persevering and determined people. If we continue to let our emotions rule over us, there’s no way we’ll ever be the person we were meant to be. Of course, none of us will ever be totally rid of emotions, but we must learn to manage and control them—not let them control us.

Life is no fun when we are controlled by feelings. Feelings change from day to day, hour to hour, even moment to moment. Not only do they change, they lie. For example, you may be in a crowd of people and feel that everybody is talking about you, but that doesn’t mean they are. You may feel that nobody understands you, but that doesn’t mean they don’t. You may feel you are misunderstood, unappreciated or even mistreated, but that doesn’t mean it is true. If we want to be mature, disciplined people, we must be determined not to walk according to what we feel.
