"An intense anticipation itself transforms possibility into reality; our desires being often but precursors of the things which we are capable of performing.— Samuel Smiles"

"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."

LIFE
"My life has become easier because I got out of my own way;
I started to take less things so seriously and
remember that really very few things in life are in my control.
The rest of it sort of happens, and my job is to
recognize opportunities and navigate through them."

"How much time and money do you spend each week on your appearance? Is it more than you spend on your inner life? Is this how you want to allot your resources and attention?"
~Oprah Winfrey~

"Before you agree to do anything that might add even the smallest amount of stress to your life, ask yourself: What is my truest intention? Give yourself time to let a yes resound within you. When it"s right, I guarantee that your entire body will feel it.— Oprah Winfrey"

I WANT TO KNOW

I want to know, when day is done,
That life has been worth living;
That I have brought somebody joy
Through kind, unselfish giving.

I want to feel, when evening falls
And shadows quickly lengthen,
That I have made somebody glad,
Some weakness I have strengthened.

I want to know, that come what may
I've left some cheer and gladness;
I want to feel, at close of day
I've banished someone's sadness.

I want to feel at day's end,
That someone's cares were lighter;
Because of kindness I have done,
May someone's life be brighter.

YOU

Who will always be there for you?

Who will never leave you, even if you try?

Who had you better get along with, no matter what?

You, that's who. So make sure to treat yourself with respect and care, because you just cannot leave yourself.

~David Leonhardt~

"Never let the odds keep you from pursuing What you know in your heart you were meant to do.— Leroy Robert "Satchel" Paige"

LETTERS
Dear Self.

I just want to tell you how much I value you. Without you, I would be nowhere. It is through you that I know God. It is through you that I know others. It is through you that I know my world. It is through you that I know myself.


When all else leave me, who will be there to guide me? When all else lose faith in me, who else will believe? When all others are against me, who will be on my side?

Thank you for being me. During my very short stay on this planet,
let's be best friends.

"When we have enough clarity to turn "Life"s Lemons" into sweet lemonade, we realize what a gift those lemons were!— Chelle Thompson, Inspiration Line"

life is not always smoothe going and exhilarated but it has its down times too but trust in God above and he will bring you through.
He will take you through each and every day just you put your trust in him.Happy New year one and all.

Dont be daunted by feelings of fear but keep your dreams alive in your heart. No one loves you more than you (except God) and you know whats best for you,others may not understand but you know what you need to do, so keep your head held high and fight for what you believe in and aim for the sky.

If you aspire to the highest place, it is no disgrace to stop at the second, or even the third, place.
Cicero

"My advice is not to inquire why or whither, but just enjoy your ice cream whilst it’s on your plate."

"Never cut a tree down in the wintertime. Never make a negative decision in the low time. Never make your most important decisions when you are in your worst moods. Wait. Be patient. The storm will pass. The spring will come.”

"A pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity; an optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty."
— Sir Winston Churchill

If you woke up this morning with more health than illness, you are more blessed than the million who will not survive the week.
If you have food in your refrigerator, clothes on your back, a roof over your head and a place to sleep, you are richer than 75% of this world.

If you have money in the bank or in your wallet, you are among the top 8% of the world’s wealthy.

If you hold up your head with a smile on your face and are truly thankful, you are blessed because the majority can, but most do not.”
