Positive Thought

Like everyone, you have ambitions, and that’s a very good thing because having ambition is a great help in moving forward.

Being ambitious doesn’t necessarily mean having elevated or idealistic goals that are impossible to realise. Your ambitions could consist of more limited objectives.

Set ambitions for yourself that suit you, without asking yourself whether they are lofty or limited. The main thing is that they are yours!

Having ambition will motivate you in your day-to-day life. You’ll get up in the morning filled with enthusiasm, because you’ll know you have a goal to accomplish during the day, even if it’s only a small step on the path to some higher goal or ideal you wish to accomplish.

Perhaps you should stop trying to change the world, and change your own world!

If you want, you can compile or edit a list of your ambitions right now, or as soon as possible, to take full advantage of the beneficial energy reading this Positive Thought is bringing you. It would be an excellent way to profit from this constructive energy.

You could scale down the goals you have into smaller stages that you’ll accomplish step by step, at your own speed. Do not compare yourself to anyone else. Your list is personal, that’s the whole point.

No matter what your ambitions, their import, or the speed at which you’ll attain your dreams, one ingredient will always bring success to your recipe for happiness: having positive ambitions for yourself, and for the people around you.

That’s the best way to ensure you attain all your objectives in life: if you “bathe” them in a pool of positive thoughts, you will achieve them!

SLEEP IS A REHEARSAL OF DEATH

I woke up with the thought of sleep. How just a mere act of sleeping is a reminder that we will all lie down one day and we would not wake up. We will die. But thank God for a sleep is just a reminder that one day we'll surely die, but today we are still alive .

When we are awake, we should celebrate the fact that God has given us victory over a mini-death. He has resurrected you from a deep sleep which could have been for ever.

You may not agree with me, but sleep is a metaphor to depict death, burial and resurrection of Christ. Think about it, when you're asleep you become oblivion to your environment, same as when you would be dead.

If you are reading this blog, it means you are awake from your slumber, and it's a proof that you have just experienced a mini-resurrection, but bear it in mind that your "mini-resurrection is a rehearsal of DEATH. Think about the day you'll sleep and never arise, but before that would happen, you need to take advantage of each day God has given you to show some kindness to the people around you. Impact their lives in so many positive ways so that when you die they (those you affected in positive ways) will continue to show gratitude to God for all the evidence of your kindness in their lives.

Have a lovely day folks.

I'M A CHRISTIAN By Maya Angelou

Late Poet Maya Angelou

 

 

When I say... "I am a Christian"
I'm not shouting "I'm clean livin."
I'm whispering "I was lost,"
Now I'm found and forgiven.

When I say..."I am a Christian"
I don't speak of this with pride.
I'm confessing that I stumble
and need CHRIST to be my guide.

When I say... "I am a Christian"
I'm not trying to be strong.
I'm professing that I'm weak
and need HIS strength to carry on.

When I say... "I am a Christian"
I'm not bragging of success.
I'm admitting I have failed
and need God to clean my mess.

When I say... "I am a Christian"
I'm not claiming to be perfect,
My flaws are far too visible
but, God believes I am worth it.

When I say... "I am a Christian"
I still feel the sting of pain,
I have my share of heartaches
So I call upon His name.

When I say... "I am a Christian"
I'm not holier than thou,
I'm just a simple sinner
who received God's good grace, somehow.

REST IN PEACE.

MGI STUDENT MUST STRIVE FOR EXCELLENCE

Once you've achieved success, it takes a lot of faith and hard work to believe you can upstage your own accomplishment.

It takes faith , hard work and determination for a C student to believe that she/he can earn B's or A's, and likewise for a straight - A student to believe that she /he can do an A+ job in the career world.

Whether you are a low, medium, or high achiever, you need confidence, in addition to the above points in order to do better. You must strive for excellence.

Striving for excellence in your studies or career is an act of faith. God is not honoured or glorified by mediocrity. The Bible says in Eccl. 9:10 "Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with your might; for there is no work or device or knowledge or wisdom in the grave where you are going".

Whether you have just been promoted to the next grade/level or you are a repeater, you need to motivate yourself to strive for excellence. In my opinion, striving for excellence indeed required lots of confidence, and my suggestion to you is that you should build your level of confidence in yourself, and study hard so that you will not fail.

Remember that you paid a lot of money in order to study at MGI, therefore, you need to stay focus and strive for excellence in this academic year. I know that you can make it, but you need to believe it. You need to motivate yourself in order to make success or passing all your modules a possibility.

Motivate yourself today by voicing these assurances:

I can do it!
I can become a champion if I set my heart on it!
I feel obligated to perform at my best!

Your confessions will become your assurances of success, and your step to excellence, and you will praise God for his goodness.

Have a lovely week ahead

When God Created Mothers

Erma Bombeck

When the Good Lord was creating mothers, He was into His sixth day of "overtime" when the angel appeared and said. "You're doing a lot of fiddling around on this one."

And God said, "Have you read the specs on this order?" She has to be completely washable, but not plastic. Have 180 moveable parts...all replaceable. Run on black coffee and leftovers. Have a lap that disappears when she stands up. A kiss that can cure anything from a broken leg to a disappointed love affair. And six pairs of hands."

The angel shook her head slowly and said. "Six pairs of hands.... no way."

It's not the hands that are causing me problems," God remarked, "it's the three pairs of eyes that mothers have to have."

That's on the standard model?" asked the angel. God nodded.

One pair that sees through closed doors when she asks, 'What are you kids doing in there?' when she already knows. Another here in the back of her head that sees what she shouldn't but what she has to know, and of course the ones here in front that can look at a child when he goofs up and say. 'I understand and I love you' without so much as uttering a word."

God," said the angel touching his sleeve gently, "Get some rest tomorrow...."

I can't," said God, "I'm so close to creating something so close to myself. Already I have one who heals herself when she is sick...can feed a family of six on one pound of hamburger...and can get a nine year old to stand under a shower."

The angel circled the model of a mother very slowly. "It's too soft," she sighed.

But tough!" said God excitedly. "You can imagine what this mother can do or endure."

Can it think?"

Not only can it think, but it can reason and compromise," said the Creator.

Finally, the angel bent over and ran her finger across the cheek.

There's a leak," she pronounced. "I told You that You were trying to put too much into this model."

It's not a leak," said the Lord, "It's a tear."

What's it for?"

It's for joy, sadness, disappointment, pain, loneliness, and pride."

You are a genius, " said the angel.

Somberly, God said, "I didn't put it there.”
