Let me share with you a strategy I use
To avoid being flooded with feelings of
Gloom, depression and fear.

Every day is a good day.
But when I’m experiencing
A day full of frustrations,
I don’t call it a bad day,
I call it an “interesting” day.
This habit keeps me
From being overwhelmed
With negative emotions.

Why does this work?
Repetitive thoughts
And words create feelings.
Those feelings create a positive or
Negative behavior pattern.

If I tell myself it’s a bad day,
I began to feel defeated and exhausted.
If my day has one issue after another,
If I tell myself it’s an “interesting” day
This keeps my open to gratitude, hope, solutions,
Resiliency,and sometimes even a sense of humor.

I try to monitor my words when
I’m feeling in a slump so I can avoid those
“knot in your stomach – stressful – anxious -
Sickening – I’m losing it” feelings.

I had one of those “interesting” days recently
And reminded myself to stop,
Do some deep breathing and re-group.

If you’re having an “interesting” day,
Let these words minister to you.
Sometimes the children are screaming,
The boss is irritating,
The traffic is slow and
The bill collectors won’t go.

Sometimes you feel strong and confident.
Sometimes you’re full of regrets and
Wonder where all the time went.

Sometimes you feel like you want to give up.
Sometimes you’re too tired to move
’cause you have so much to do.

Sometimes you’re lonely and
Wonder if love will ever come.

Sometimes you’re glad to be alone
To think your own thoughts.

Sometimes life is easy and sometimes hard.

Today be grateful that you’ve come this far.
Breathe in peace, faith and hope.

All the answers…I do not know.
But I’m here to say, count your blessings.
Don’t give up.
You can make it.

Little miracles happen each day.
Don’t miss them because you’re focusing
On your pain, frustrations and fears.

Constantly work on the five main things
You need to live in peace and harmony

1) faith,
2) family and friends,
3) finances,
4) good health
And
5) your life purpose..

Without these in your life….
Life can drive you crazy.

Beautiful words Life is tough
It can be hard
But when it gets unbearable
Don’t let down your guard.
`
Although bad things
Happen to us all
It’s important to remember
To learn from each fall.
`
Life is tough
But you are tougher
And just remember
It could be rougher.
`
Remember to cherish
The good things in life
They help you get by
In times of strife.
`
Don’t underestimate
The worth of a friend
Because without them
Our hearts would not mend.
`
Always be true
To everyone you meet
If you act fake
You have suffered defeat.
`
Always be yourself
No matter what people say
It’s a lot easier
To form lasting friendships this way.
`
It’s important to say
What is only sincere
Words from the heart
Are the best kind to hear.
`
Don’t worry about mistakes
From way back when
And never wonder
What might have been.
`
Never look back
The past is gone
Only memories remain
To look upon.
`
Learn to forgive
But never forget
Put things behind you
And never regret.
`
Always look forward
Keep moving ahead
So you can be proud of
The life you led.
`
But don’t look too far
Or move too fast
Make the most of each day
It could be your last.
`
Don’t let others
Get you down
Show them a smile
When they want a frown.
`
Give people respect
No matter how mean they can be
The fact that they hurt you
They may not always see.
`
Allow yourself to grieve
It’s okay to cry
Remember life goes on
And the tears will dry.
`
Enjoy your life
Have fun and go crazy
Just don’t sit around
And always be lazy.
`
Try your best
In all that you do
Believe in yourself
And others will too.
`
Believe in God
He’s always there
To help us learn
That life’s not fair.
`
Because life’s not a game
To win or lose
It is a gift
To love if we choose.

Dreams are a big part of our Lives
and You must do whatever it takes
to make them a Reality;
by the plans you make,
the course you take,
and the things you do.

Don’t dwell on past mistakes.
Leave yesterday behind,
along with all it’s problems,
worries and doubts.

Realize you can’t change the past,
but you can start a new tomorrow.
Don’t try to do everything at once;
take one step at a time,

Don’t ever be afraid to try the Impossible
no matter what others may think.
Remember you are Unique
in your own special way.

Don’t ever stop Dreaming!
Don’t ever stop wanting what’s right for you!
HAVE A NICE DAY

One day a group of boys
Decided to have a race
They chose to climb a great big tree
And set off at a pace

The rest of their friends gathered
To see the boys at play
They talked about it to themselves
“Will they make it?” “No way!”

They called up to the children
“You’ll never make it up that tree”
But the boys just kept on climbing
And said “just watch and you will see”

But the others, how they shouted
And thought the boys tried to ignore
They began to drop out one by one
Another, another and then more

But one boy kept on climbing
And made it to the top of the tree
He never lost faith but believed in himself
And said “this won’t defeat me”

The others were quite amazed
At the squirrel at the top of the tree
“How on earth did he do it?” they said
“Well”, said one, “he’s completely deaf, you see”

So the motto of this poem is
You can reach the top of the tree
Just don’t listen to what others say
Just believe in yourself and you’ll see………

Always remember to forget
the things that made you sad,
But never forget to remember
the things that made you glad

Always remember to forget
the friends that proved untrue,
But never forget to remember
those that have stuck by you

Always remember to forget
the troubles that passed away
But never forget to remember
the blessings that come each day.

SMS Jokes

At times I’m so discouraged
With the problems of the day,
I fail to see the joyful things
That are along the way.

When troubles overwhelm me
it’s then my nerves may fray.
That’s when I need to take the time
To simply sit and pray.

Reflecting on God’s many gifts,
It makes me so aware
Of all the joy in little things
Around me everywhere!

I must try to remember
Though problems come my way,
Not to miss the joyful things
And the beauty of the day.

I feared the dark
Until I saw the beauty of the starlight.
I feared the light
Until I learned that the Truth would give me Strength.
I feared change,
Until I saw that even the most beautiful butterfly had to undergo a Metamorphosis before it could fly.

I refuse to be discouraged,
To be sad, or to cry;
I refuse to be downhearted,
and here’s the reason why:

I have a God who’s mighty,
Who’s sovereign and supreme;
I have a God who loves me,
and I am on His team.

He is all-wise and powerful.
God is His name;
Though everything is changeable,
My God remains the same.

My God knows all that’s happening;
Beginning to the end;
His presence is my comfort;
He is my dearest Friend.

When sickness comes to weaken me,
To bring my head down low,
I call upon my mighty God;
Into His arms I go.

When circumstances threaten
to rob me of my peace;
He draws me close unto His breast,
Where all my striving cease.

When my heart melts within me,
and weakness takes control;
He gathers me into His arms,
He soothes my heart and soul.

The great “I AM” is with me.
My life is in His hand;
The “Son of the Lord” is my hope,
It’s in His strength I stand.

I refuse to be defeated,
My eyes are on my God;
He has promised to be with me,
as through this life I trod.

I’m looking past all my circumstances,
To Heaven’s throne above;
My prayers have reached the heart of God
I’m resting in His love.

I give God thanks in everything.
My eyes are on His face;
The battle’s His, the victory mine;
He’ll help me win the race.

Principles of Thinking for Success

Concentrate on your assets.
Successful people do not dwell on their weaknesses. They focus on their strengths. Learn to keep your focus on your assets and you will notice the change in your days very quickly.

Use positive words.
Positive words build a positive life. Fill your life with as many positive words as you can think of. Then grow your vocabulary to include more! Learn to speak positive whenever you open your mouth.

Enlarge your vision.
If your vision for your life does not stretch you and seem like a challenge to reach then you will never enjoy the success that could be yours. Learn to think big thoughts for your life.

Realize the importance of your job.

When you think of your job as one that has importance and meaning and when you realize where your job will take you, life takes on a much greater meaning. Find the reasons why your job matters, not just to you but to the people around you and in your community, as well.

Focus on your objectives.

Too often our minds want to focus on the problems we are encountering. We think that by focusing on the problems we will solve them. Not true. Train yourself to get your mind off your problems and to focus on your objectives. Now you have discovered how to overcome the obstacles in life. Your brain wants to focus on objectives and how to get there and as a result, take you to your success.

Believe in you
When the world feels like
It is crashing
Down upon your shoulders

Believe in you
When your doubt and confusion
Blind you to the reality
Of your beauty and strength

Believe in you
When the road becomes dark
And you feel the path
Has fallen from beneath your feet

Believe in you
When what you seek for tomorrow
Seems forever lost
In the confusion of today

Believe in you
When all you wish
Is to slumber, to dream
And awaken, cleansed of turmoil and trepidation

Believe in you
For you are
Your own
Deliverance

Believe in you
Half as much
As I believe
And you will prevail…
NarSingh

When tomorrow starts without me
And I not there to see,
If the sun should rise and find your eyes
All filled with tears for Me;

I wish so much you wouldn’t cry
The way you did today,
While thinking of the many things,
We didn’t get to say.

I know how much you love me,
As much as I love you,
And each time that you think of me,
I know you’ll miss me too;

But when tomorrow starts without Me,
Please try to understand,
That an angel came and called my name,
And took me by the hand,

And said my place was ready,
In heaven far above,
And that I’d have to leave behind
All those I dearly love.

But as I turned to walk away,
A tear fell from my eye
For all my life, I’d always thought,
I didn’t want to die.

I had so much to live for,
So much left yet to do,
It seemed almost impossible,
That I was leaving you.

I thought of all the yesterdays,
The good ones and the bad,
I thought of all the love we shared,
And all the fun we had.

If I could relive yesterday,
Just even for a while,
I’d say good-bye and kiss you
And maybe see you smile.

But then I fully realized,
That this could never be,
For emptiness and memories,
Would take the place of me.

And when I thought of worldly things,
I might miss come tomorrow,
I thought of you, and when I did,
My heart was filled with sorrow.

But when I walked through Heaven’s gates,
I felt so much at home.
When God looked down and smiled at me,
From His great golden throne,

He said, “This is eternity,
And all I’ve promised you.
Today your life on earth is past,
But here life starts anew.

“I promise no tomorrow,
But today will always last,
And since each day’s the same way
There’s no longing for the past.

“You have been so faithful,
So trusting and so true.
Though there were times
You did some things
You knew you shouldn’t do.

“But you have been forgiven
And now at last you’re free.
So won’t you come and take my hand
And share my life with me.”

So when tomorrow starts without Me,
Don’t think we’re far apart,
For every time you think of Me,
I’m right here, in your heart.

Send this to all those you care about…
Because you never know what’s going to happen tomorrow…
Show them how much you care, before it’s too late…

Manoj Rai

When you take something for granted,
you can quickly forget That it’s even there.
If you take it for granted long Enough,
it may in fact be gone the next time
you look for It.

Why is gratitude so very powerful?
Because it keeps you Connected to all
the good things in your life.

Don’t let the immense value that’s already
yours wander away Because of neglect.
Take time to remember, take time to
Celebrate and be grateful, and
take time to say thank you.

Instead of continually wishing for more,
take a loving and Thankful look at all
that you already have.
By sincerely Appreciating what’s
already yours, you can build upon it to
Reach any dream you could possibly imagine.

Make it a habit to reflect each day on
how truly fortunate You are.
It is your awareness that enables your
richest Blessings to continue unfolding
and expanding throughout Your world.

See the beauty that’s already there,
and the value that’s Already yours.
It is more than enough to propel you
Positively and meaningfully forward.
~Ralph Marston~
