Your Most Precious Gift

If I were to ask what is the most precious gift you have on this earth, what would you say. For different people it could be different things. However if you stop and think about it long and hard your answer might change. The reality is that the most precious give each of us have is our lives. The gift of life can take second place to no other. It is because of it that we are able to enjoy the other gifts that God has bestowed upon us such as our children, spouses, families and friends. Do not take this gift lightly. Cherish every moment of it.

The Seed

The Seed

I planted a seed of faith,

I molded it up with hope,

I showered it with love,

Then I waited for it to grow.

It grew for a while,

But then it got scorched up by the sun,

I watered it with my tears,

Refusing to let it die,

I held on to my faith,

I continued to hope.

It struggled for a while,

Then slowly began to grow.

And then one morning,

I looked outside my window,

To find that it had bloomed,

And I felt a burst of joy,

As my eyes behold,

The most beautiful of flowers,

That I have ever seen.

At times in life you have to have faith and keep on believing!

Don’t let Fear Hold You Back

Don’t be imprisoned by your own fears, trapped in a world where you feel that you don’t have the strength to stand on your own two feet and make decisions for your life or charter a course for your happiness. Be proactive, be a doer and a go getter. Nothing is impossible. I hope you all had a happy International Women’s Day.

There is nothing you can’t do if you are determined!

Adopt a Positive Attitude

“Today is a new day. Leave the past behind. Let go of all negative thoughts. Stop telling yourself that you are not good enough, that you are not worthy enough, and that you are not capable enough. These are the shackles that are holding you back. Leave them by the wayside. Think positively, be confident. There is nothing in life that you cannot accomplish when you believe in yourself.”

Self Empowerment

 Ways to Grow Mentally

  1. Have a firm belief in yourself. Know that others may not always agree with you but don’t be afraid to voice your opinion. Love yourself and don’t compare your life to others.
  2. Be proud of your achievements but never become complacent. Always find ways to improve yourself.
  3. Read a book. Make reading a part of your weekly routine. You can gain knowledge  and information on any subject matter by reading.
  4. Make time for relaxation. In a high stressed world it is important to unwind and relax. It is good for your health.
  5. Believe in a higher power. Spirituality and a firm belief in God is important. It is good to have a relationship with God the one we can always count on to be there in good times and bad.

Lesson on Success

If success was easy everyone would be successful so don’t be too hard on yourself if success hasn’t come as you envisioned. There will be ups and down and there may be setbacks. Persistency, effort and determination will prove to be your most valuable assets. Along with this will have to be a firm belief in yourself. When things get hard challenge yourself to try even harder. Think of someone who started out small like yourself and was able to succeed. Use that person as your motivation. Read books, build friendships and stay connected with like-minded people. Remember that it is up to you to create the life you want.

Emancipate Yourself

Emancipate yourself, 
From the bondage of violence, 
Which keeps you enslaved, 
Emancipate your mind from hatred, 
Which keeps the joy of loving at bay, 
Open up your hearts to love, 
For where there is love, 
There is no hatred, 
No hostility, no getting even, 
And violence and crime, 
Can not survive!
