Very warm welcome to this uplifting blog,
Globally, everywhere is flooded with all the bad news, reported by most of the newspapers, magazines and almost all the media. Therefore, it is hard not to be affected by this news one way or the other. How we are going to deal with it? Here, you may want to share some of your success stories here. Please be reminded that you are always more than welcome to communicate with us. As we have stated before and do not mind to repeat that it is always our intention to make this uplifting blog as a platform to engage with our readers and visitors.
Before I proceed further, I like to share with you the old joke about hard times, which some of you may have heard. It began like this - when your friends are unemployed, it is recession. When you are unemployed, it is depression. Well, you have a choice, either to believe it or reject it.
However it is sad to see people normally get stuck in their beliefs about economy. The issue here is if we worry that there will be inflation or deflation, our attitudes will somewhat cause us to have difficulty because of recession or inflation. Hence, lots of energies are not only wasted, but it may even affect your health. Ask those who had gone through recession or deflation or inflation, how they overcame these? Perhaps some of you like to say something on this.
We must say here - no matter how tough things get, you just can't let them get to you. Be mindful that tough times never last, but tough people do. We hope you get what we mean here. You may click the link below to read our preceding article on this.
http://liftyouup.blogspot.com/2011/03/tough-times-never-last-tough-people-do.html
Please be reminded that you have got to program yourself to keep expecting and generating boom times. If you keep this healthy attitude, you will soon be booming. We know you may want to tell us that it is not easy, which we do agree with you. However, we must be aware that our minds and imaginations can help us to ride out, to rise above and even prosper in times of both recession and inflation. Trust us, this is not what we said only, but it is a well accepted proven recipe by all the world class motivation gurus. Moreover, it is also accepted truth that our minds cannot differentiate between real and unreal.
One good example is that Delta Airlines doubled the number of airplanes they owned during recession. They told their employees, "We're going to keep all of you working.” The employees were so thankful they helped Delta pay for the planes! Similarly, the word 'Crisis' is well reflected in the Chinese character as opportunity or threat, depending on its beholders.
Therefore, it is safe to say that hard times are just nothing more than a state of mind. Change your state of mind and it will change everything you see. Once you do so, you can change the quality of your life, no matter what happens to the economy.
So, we shall throw the ball to your court and let you give the above discussion a deep thought. Please let us have your feedback thereafter. Choice is yours and we share with you in the hope that you are in a way prepared for this, you will then ride the wave of the tide as it comes.
We have done everything possible to lift you up and if anything else you can think of, please do let us know. As you are well aware the purpose of this blog is always explore the best possible mean to lift our readers up in whatsoever situation they are caught in.
Please do help us to achieve our objective as the name of this blog suggests. Let the logo below shine on us so that we all stay shining at all seasons, like the sun.
Thanks and do stay on reading the articles which are in the pipeline so as to further strengthen us together to face the greater challenge in the near future.
Seeing you again.

HEALTH IS KEY TO WEALTH
VERY WARM WELCOME TO THIS UPLIFTING BLOG,
It is an undeniable truth that HEALTH is our greatest wealth and asset. No matter how much Money, Fame and Success we have it means nothing without our health. Ironically, you often see people spend more efforts and times on their assets such as car than their body and mind. I must admit my past mistake of sending my car regularly for service as per the recommended service manual rather than paying attention to my body and mind.
One of the frequently asked questions I received is how I stay so healthy all the time. The simple truth is that I spend a lot of money and time on being healthy. I never regret and always consider it to be one of my wisest investments. I have learned that I must be fair to my body and take good care of it so that my body can support me and create vitality, energy, and good health for me! Similarly, it also slows down my aging process, which I consider another bonus and great motivator to me.
As you may be well aware, I believe that prevention is always better than cure. As such, the hard truth is I have to invest in myself, no matter what. I must ensure that I am in good shape before I can help others, in line with the safety announcement made in the flight. You may think it is a selfish act, which I did initially. After my second serious thought, it makes lots of sense to me now. Choice is always yours. You can either choose to spend money; on good body maintenance and prevention now or use your money later, trying to recover from ill health. You will reap what you sow according to the natural law.
Regardless of what your current state of health is at this moment, you have the power to improve it if you choose and believe so. Every day we come in contact with millions of bacteria, allergens, viruses, and fungi and sad to say that only the tiniest fraction of these may lead to disease. This is a reality, which we cannot avoid it, but we can do something to prevent it.
It is interesting to note that people who consider themselves “too busy to get sick” are known to have above average health, while those who worry excessively about disease fall into poor health more often. Likewise, I have often said and don't mind repeating here "worry does not solve problem but worsen the problem'. So why worry? That is my question.
Never too late and start NOW and be good to yourself. Do something of great favour to your body, regardless of whether it’s getting more sleep, some exercise, healthy food, or some fun time! Equally important is while you are taking better care of your body you could also be feeding your mind with positive uplifting information. One of it is reading the materials in this blog, which is written from time to time with the main objective to lift you up, as its name suggests.
Happy reading and work toward achieving your great health and wealth.

FIRE EATING PERFORMANCE; MY REAL EXPERIENCE
Happy day to you,
The above photos were taken during my fire eating performance, under supervision of the appropriate personnel. The reason I share with you all is to reaffirm my point again that you too can overcome any fear by confronting it and not ignoring it. I have also illustrated this point much earlier in my article at the link below.
The above pictures did not really reflect the most exciting point when I put the burning fire into my mouth. However, I have many witnesses who were present at that time. I pride myself of walking the talk and not otherwise. My purpose of doing so is that I hope to lift you up by letting you know the truth, that you are affected by your thoughts, actions and words. As such, it is critically important that you have the appropriate right mindset to make you healthy and wealthy.
Be mindful that our minds cannot distinguish between real and unreal. As such, it can be easily manipulated, depending on how you perceive things Once you put it in the positive zone, then it will attract all positive elements. Conversely, if you think otherwise, then it will attract all the negative elements as advocated in the law of attraction. Now, the choice is yours.
Below please find the definition of the spectacular performance and its history for your better understanding. Please note this exercise is very dangerous act, therefore proper care and supervision by the relevant experts is strongly required.
DEFINITION FROM WIKIPEDIA
A fire eater is an entertainer, often a street artist or part of a sideshow. The performer places flaming objects into their mouth and extinguishes them by cutting off oxygen. They also practice controlling and transferring the flame.
History and hazards
Fire eating was a common part of Hindu, Sadhu, and Fakir performances to show spiritual attainment. It became a part of the standard sideshow acts in the late 1880s and is often seen as one of the entry-level skills for sideshow performers, although skilled fire performers, such as those who can utilise the difficult and dangerous vapour transfers and produce large breaths of fire are regarded as equals in the circus community for their skill and devotion to their art. Such performers include record holder Preacher Muad'dib, Lucifre, Heavy Metal Pete, Murrigan Mystic Tom Black and Chris Riley all of whom are known as exceptionally skilled performers within the circus and sideshow industry.Other than sound fire safety precautions and some practical advice regarding the laws of physics (i.e. "hot air rises"), there are few secrets to eating fire. Torches do not burn with "cold flames" nor is there any special substance in the performer's mouth other than saliva. According to Daniel Mannix's 1951 sideshow memoir Step right up!, the real "secret" to fire eating is enduring pain; he mentions that tolerating constant blisters on your tongue, lips and throat is also necessary. Many other fire eaters dismiss this, claiming that a skilled fire eater should not burn themselves, but since the art of fire eating is kept quite secret it is hard to ascertain exactly how it is done. Fire eating and fire breathing (and all variants) is a skill usually passed on for a skilled master to an appropriate student and almost all teachings include instructions on first aid, fire safety, chemistry and other appropriate skills.
[edit] Famous fire eaters
The most famous fire eater in history is Robert Powell who not only swallowed fire but also red-hot coals, melted sealing wax and even brimstone. He performed, often in front of British and other European royalty and nobility, for nearly sixty years and was awarded in 1751 a purse of gold and a large silver medal.[1]Although not the earliest, the first to attract the attention of the upper classes was an Englishman named Richardson, who first performed in France in 1667. His methods were subsequently made public by his servant.[2]
[edit] World records
The most torches extinguished in one minute with the mouth is 83 and was achieved by Preacher Muad'dib on Nov 18 2010 at Potter's Field, UK. [3]A fire performer from Germany, Hubertus Wawra (also known as the Master of Hellfire), holds the world record for extinguishing 39 torches in 30 seconds. It should be noted that as the record for most torches eaten in one minute is 83, meaning the record holder ate an average of 41.5 torches in 30 seconds this record is, whilst valid, considered arguable.[4]
New York City-based fire performer Flambeaux (Chris Reilly) holds the world record for keeping a lit torch in his mouth for 55.53 seconds. This is not a Guinness world record.[5]
Thanks for your continuous support and we believe by constantly feeding your thoughts with all positive and inspiring news, you will always be lifted up as the name of this blog suggested.
Seeing you again and you shall be rest assured of more exciting articles.

WHAT IS LINK BUILDING AND ITS BENEFITS
Hi Everyone,
Link Building is critically important if you want your site to be at the top of the search engine listings. Google, king of the major search engines, numerously stated that "the quantity, quality and relevance of links count towards your rating."In this connection, the search marketing guru Aaron Wall also stated that "Link building is going to be the SEO trump card for the foreseeable future." As such, we can't afford to ignore it and that's why it forms our today's discussion topic.
It is interesting to note that link building gives us two folds benefits - first, it is not only enhances our search engine rankings and second, it is also brings potential visitors direct to our site. But the catch is that not all the links carry equal weight. Be mindful that quality reigns supreme – it is very much more important than quantity. Getting a small number of links from relevant, authoritative sites can greatly improve your site's rankings. Whereas getting dozens of links from lower-tier sites, on the other hand, can prove next to useless.
Therefore obtaining quality links, especially from a diverse range of websites, is the ultimate objective of any link building strategy. It forms one of the greatest challenges facing by both SEOs and website owners today. Why I say so? This is because trying to segregate the good sites from worthless ones is never an easy task. To search for quality links can be like looking for a needle in a haystack.
Therefore it is best to get a link to webs with have high number of links. This high number of links must ensure that they:
• are of popular and likely to be authoritative;
• have visitors who are likely to click to your site ;
• will pass on 'link juice' to you
Here's we also have to consider the following:
i) not only do we want to find high quality link prospects;
ii) we, at the same time, want to find sites that will create a link back to your site promptly.

Link Building is critically important if you want your site to be at the top of the search engine listings. Google, king of the major search engines, numerously stated that "the quantity, quality and relevance of links count towards your rating."In this connection, the search marketing guru Aaron Wall also stated that "Link building is going to be the SEO trump card for the foreseeable future." As such, we can't afford to ignore it and that's why it forms our today's discussion topic.
It is interesting to note that link building gives us two folds benefits - first, it is not only enhances our search engine rankings and second, it is also brings potential visitors direct to our site. But the catch is that not all the links carry equal weight. Be mindful that quality reigns supreme – it is very much more important than quantity. Getting a small number of links from relevant, authoritative sites can greatly improve your site's rankings. Whereas getting dozens of links from lower-tier sites, on the other hand, can prove next to useless.
Therefore obtaining quality links, especially from a diverse range of websites, is the ultimate objective of any link building strategy. It forms one of the greatest challenges facing by both SEOs and website owners today. Why I say so? This is because trying to segregate the good sites from worthless ones is never an easy task. To search for quality links can be like looking for a needle in a haystack.
Therefore it is best to get a link to webs with have high number of links. This high number of links must ensure that they:
• are of popular and likely to be authoritative;
• have visitors who are likely to click to your site ;
• will pass on 'link juice' to you
Here's we also have to consider the following:
i) not only do we want to find high quality link prospects;
ii) we, at the same time, want to find sites that will create a link back to your site promptly.
That's the way to ensure us the immediate return on our efforts.
So, the best and the most efficient way to find promising link prospects is those that will bring you fast, measurable business results. Better still, if you can effectively measure and refine your strategy once you do start building quality links. By doing so, you are always a step ahead of your competitors?

RIGHT THINKING
Hi Folks,
Heavy rains remind us of challenges in life.
Never ask for a lighter rain.
Just pray for a better umbrella.
That is attitude.
When flood comes, fish eat ants ; when flood recedes, ants eat fish. Only time matters.
Just hold on, God gives opportunity to everyone!
Life is not about finding the right person, but creating the right relationship,
it's not how we care in the beginning, but how much we care till the very end.
Some people always throw stones in your path.
It depends on you what you make with them.
A Wall or a Bridge?
Remember you are the architect of your life.
Search for a beautiful heart, but don't search for a beautiful face' coz beautiful things are not always good, but good things are always beautiful.
It’s not important to hold all the good cards in life.
but it’s important how well you play with the cards you hold.
Often when we lose all hope &; think this is the end, God smiles from above and says, `relax dear it’s just a bend, not the end.
Have Faith and have a successful life.
One of the basic differences between God and humans is, God gives, gives and forgives.
but the human gets, gets, gets and forgets.
Be thankful in life....
