Don't worry

Yesterday is dead. No matter what I do and I will never bring it back.

Tomorrow hasn't arrived yet.

Worry has been described as "interest paid on troublr before it comes due."

AS Leo Buscaglia said, "Worry never robs tomorrow of its sorrow,
it only saps today of its joy."

So it is crystal clear that worry does not add any value to it. Wake up.

Yesterday is dead. Tomorrow hasn't arrived yet.

I have just one day and I'm going to be happy in it

Today is the day I am going to live with it.

So be happy and not worry about what tomorrow is going to be.

Today's issues are more than sufficient for you to tackle with.

So, keep on resolving on the current issues and enjoying every issue.

You shall be happy ,

That is the way you should follow.

Cheers,

Be yourself

If I tried to be like them,
who would be like me,

If I tried to spend money,
who would spend it on me,

If I tried to do right,
they should do right by me,

what I m really trying to say,
if I keep trying to be like everyone else I couldn’t be me.

The uniquiness of everyone of us has its own purpose,
So, BE YOURSELF and act to serve the world at large, and not your interest only.

What goes around will come around.
I say again, "what goes around will come around'"

God is watching us,

Think Before you act

Today before you think of saying an unkind word
Think of someone who can't speak

Before you complain about the taste of your food
Think of someone who has nothing to eat

Before you complain about your husband or wife
Think of someone who's crying out to God for a companion

Today before you complain about life
Think of someone who went too early to heaven

Before you complain about your children
Think of someone who desires children but they're barren

Before you argue about your dirty house; someone didn't clean or sweep
Think of the people who are living in the streets

Before whining about the distance you drive
Think of someone who walks the same distance with their feet

And when you are tired and complain about your job
Think of the unemployed, the disabled and those who wished they had your job

But before you think of pointing the finger or condemning another
Remember that not one of us are without sin and we all answer to one maker

And when depressing thoughts seem to get you down
Put a smile on your face and thank God you're alive and still around

Life is a gift
Live it...
Enjoy it...
Celebrate it...
And fulfill it.

And while you are at it give love to someone today
Love someone with what you do and the words you say Love is not meant to be kept locked inside of us and hidden

So give it away "Give Love to someone today!"

Cheers and have a nice day,

Read this and let it sink into both your mind and heart

From my previous blog - life is a choice.


Trust you will find the story below, which I received from one of my contacts, inspiring and motivating.



Michael is the kind of guy you with execellent attitude we should learn form him. He is always in a good mood and always has something positive to say. When someone would ask him how he was doing, he would reply, "If I were any better, I would be twins!" He was a natural motivator.



If an employee was having a bad day, Michael was there telling the employee how to look on the positive side of the situation. Seeing this style really made me curious, so one day I went up to Michael and asked him, "I don't get it! You can't be a positive person all of the time.



How do you do it?" Michael replied, "Each morning I wake up and say to myself, you have a choice today. You can choose to be in a good mood or ... you can choose to be in a bad mood. I choose to be in a good mood." Each time something bad happens, I can choose to be a victim or...I can choose to learn from it. I choose to learn from it. Every time someone comes to me complaining, I can choose to accept their complaining or... I can point out the positive side of life. I choose the positive side of life. "Yeah, right, it's not that easy," I protested. "Yes, it is," Michael said.


"Life is all about choices. When you cut away all the junks, every situation is a choice. You choose how you react to situations. You choose how people affect your mood. You choose to be in a good mood or bad mood. The bottom line: It's your choice how you live your life." I reflected on what Michael said. Soon hereafter, I left the Tower Industry to start my own business. We lost touch, but I often thought about him when I made a choice about life instead of reacting to it.



Several years later, I heard that Michael was involved in a serious accident, falling some 60 feet from a communications tower. After 18 hours of surgery and weeks of intensive care, Michael was released from the hospital with rods placed in his back. I saw Michael about six months after the accident. When I asked him how he was, he replied, "If I were any better, I'd be twins Wanna see my scars?"



I declined to see his wounds, but I did ask him what had gone through his mind as the accident took place. "The first thing that went through my mind was the well-being of my soon-to-be born daughter," Michael replied. "Then, as I lay on the ground, I remembered that I had two choices: I could choose to live or...I could choose to die. I chose to live."



"Weren't you scared? Did you lose consciousness?" I asked. Michael continued, "..the paramedics were great. They kept telling me that I was going to be fine. But when they wheeled me into the Emergency Room and I saw the expressions on the faces of the doctors and nurses, I got really scared. In their eyes, I read 'he's a dead man'. I knew I needed to take action."



"What did you do?" I asked. "Well, there was a big burly nurse shouting questions at me," said Michael. "She asked if I was allergic to anything. 'Yes, Ireplied.' The doctors and nurses stopped working as they waited for my reply. I took a deep breath and yelled, 'Gravity'."



Over their laughter, I told them, "I am choosing to live. Operate on me as if I am alive, not dead." Michael lived, thanks to the skill of his doctors, but also because of his amazing attitude... I learned from him that every day we have the choice to live fully.



You can see attitude, though it is not everything, yet it can make lots of difference. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own." Matthew 6:34.



After all today is the tomorrow you worried about. You have a choice now:


So, by now you should know how to react if you faced similar situation like the above. That show that you have learnt a good lesson from Micheal. Thank to Micheal for sharing such a wonderful experience with us.

Grace and peace to all,

James

Be happy and live meaningfully

Friends

Life is wonderful and let us not complaining about it. Accept it as it is because there is always a real good reason for it:-

Below are some of the real good reasons you should always thank for :-

* For the spouse who snores all night, because he/she is at home asleep with you and not with someone else.

* For your teenage daughter who is complaining about doing dishes, because that means she is at home and not on the streets.

* For the taxes that you pay, because it ! you! and that you are employed.

* For the mess to clean after a party, because it means that you have been surrounded by friends.

* For the clothes that fit a little too snug, because it means you have enough to eat.

* For your shadow that watches you work, because it means you are in the sunshine.

* For a floor that needs mopping, and windows that need cleaning, because it means you have a home.

* For all the complaining you hear about the government, because it means that you have freedom of speech.

* For the parking spot you find at the far end of the parking lot, because it means you are capable of walking and that have been blessedwith transportation.

* For the pile of laundry and ironing, because it means you have sufficient clothes to wear.

* For weariness and aching muscles at the end of the day, because it means you have been capable of working hard.

* For the alarm that goes off in the early morning hours, because it means that you are alive.

* For too many e-mails , because they mean you have friends who are thinking and caring of you.

Life is a choice of yours. Be happy or not, it is up to your to choose.

If you think you are happy; you are. If you think you are not happy; you are not. Both are equally right.

Trust you will exercise your choice wisely. Stay happily and live meaningfully.

In short, you should not let it expand further by allowing them to be part of you. Instead you should take control of yourself. Take note of the setbacks and adjust your plan/action so as not to repeat the same mistake. Slowly and steadly, you will be able to eliminate the worng ways and find the right way.

Therefore, we at Lift You Up Blog will urge you to use each instance of adversity as a valuable lesson for you to learn and create you an opportunity to redouble forward-looking efforts. Never let the adversity to hold you back.
