there's nothing we can do about what has already happened so instead of living in regret learn the lesson, let go and move on with your life.... FORGET THE PAST!!!!

I read somewhere that true charity is when we give to a cause where we would never expect to gain anything in return. We usually want to calculate and say Whats in it for me? after reading that statement I challenged myself to do more charitable deeds. Give and not expect anything in return and this has left me a lot more happier. Its been good just seeing the gratitude and the meer feeling that i have done something good and not because I will be paid for it makes me feel so good about myself. So next time someone asks for a fovour dont start complaining about how you always doing good for them and no one seems to appreciate it. Just do it and dont even expect a thnk you! that is truie charity!!!

I heard that statement on Sunday during the sermon. The actual statement was Life is a marathon and not a sprint...pace it well. Ever seen how at times we want everything to fall into place all at once. We have the energy and if only everything was within our power we would make our lives be perfect all at once. Someone once said to me at times the secret is waiting for your plan to mature and come to fruition. So all this put together means my life is a marathon I got to understand that I have to go through one lap before reaching the next and I have to be patient, wait until I reach the next lap before seeing some of the things I want to see happen, but while on this lap I got to keep running coz I wont get to the next lap by standing where I am. My life is a marathon I have to pace it well do what I can now what I cannot do now I will be able to do someday but for now I am happy with today. It is true after all TOMMOROW DOES TAKE CARE OF ITSELF!!! (pliz dont read that statement out of context)
Enjoy the lap you are at, for all I know you wont have another chance to pass through that way, life is after all ONE CHANCE!!!! and all we have been given is TODAY! TOMMOROW IS BUT A PROMISE!!!

When a man (woman) has set his/her mind on something heaven knows there is no limit to what they can do.This i thought was a very pregnant statement and so I pondered over it and I hope you enjoy what I came up with as I meditated on it. I started off the year with an idea of what I would like my 2007 to be. I still need to get my thoughts sorted out. I have so much that I want to do. And trust me its all good things. But I also realise that it is only those people who have a clear cut direction of where they are going who get to their destinations. If you are not sure then you are easily tossed about by anything that comes along and never really develop that stick-to-it-iveness thats needed to truly succed in any endevour. You see if you have the option of giving up when the going gets tough then you might as well give up before wasting any time on such a quest. A dear brother of mine once told me IF DEFEAT IS NOT A POSSIBILITY THEN THE VICTORY IS NOT SWEET. This has led me to the conclusion that it is only from those endevours where defeat is a very huge possibilty that I can truly draw satisfaction. At the same time my wisdom tells me to be practical not to wish for something that is so far fetched because at the end of the day if defeat is such a possibilty that the outcome of my effort is defeat I remain a depressed woman. What am I getting at you may ask, firstly one needs a clear cut goal or objective the second is that one needs to set their minds on that goal and develop a stick-to-it-veness no matter what obstacle stands in their way. Throw your life into making it a success and when all is said and done accomplish what you have set out to do. In the bible when a group of people set their minds on something God came down to see what they were planning to do Genesis chapter 11. Unfortunately what they set out to do was against God's will and he had to oppose them. But imagine if God had given a thumbs up to the whole project the sky could not have been the limit. Set your mind on something this 2007 and get the attention of heaven. The sky never was the limit....your mind is!!!!

This thought struck me and I thought it profound and worth me sharing it with you guys...

We can change the world starting with ourselves. Not only that each one of us doing our little bit in our small world contributes to the bigger picture and bigger change. So if at any moment you feel small, insignificant and that what you doing is not much. Remeber IT IS THE LITTLE THINGS THAT COUNT! I read somewhere have forgotten the name of the author that the saying goes something like this: If you consider yourself too small, imagine sharing a bed with a mosquito.
THINK yourself big , SEE yourself big and you are big!!! Its all in the mind...
