You have to believe that you deserve the best from life. You have to believe that you are no less important than anyone else. You have to believe that nothing is worth sacrificing your happiness for. You have to believe that you can go on in spite of disappointments or even betrayals. You see you are strong and the strength within you make it possible for you to rise above that which was meant to pull you down.

Today’s Positive Quote
Choose to be happy. You were not meant to live life unhappy!
Everyone Matters
I want us all to open up our eyes to the reality of the world in which we live and in particular the way we view others. I want you to consider the following scenario.
A very wealthy and generous man is going on a luxury cruise. He has invited some of the most well know celebrities and some of the most prominent pastors who heads well established ministries to go along with him. Before the ship sails he realizes there is still a lot of space and so he invites some homeless people from off the street. You are also invited.
Now each group of people is seated in separate sections but you can sit anywhere. Where would you choose to sit? I am taking a guess that that you would want to be with the celebrities or with the prominent pastors and sadly I must confess that I would probably choose either of these two groups too because let’s face it who wants to sit with a bunch of homeless smelly, people.
However let’s say out of nowhere there is a strong turbulence and you are thrown overboard, of the three groups who do you think will be the quickest to jump overboard to save your life. Do you think the celebrity will risk his life to save the life of someone who to them is nobody? Do you think that pastor with his mega-million ministry will shed his jacket and jump overboard to save you?
Sometimes it is the ones we overlook and disregard, the ones whose plight we pretend not to see, the ones we turn our nose up at and look upon with scorn, yes sometimes they are the very ones who will risk their lives to save ours.
Which is the Right Day to Worship?
God made the heaven and the earth, He made the days the sun, the moon and the stars and all was well. He made man in his own image. Man needed a companion and he made woman and all was well with the world.
Man decided to give names to the days and for some reason when man get involved there is confusion for now man spend time debating which day is the right day to worship and which one of the days that MAN NAMED did God make first. Why do people feel the only way to worship God is to gather inside a building and shout alleluia and amen.
So many miss the point and the real message: Love God with all your heart and love your neighbor as yourself. Do good; feed the hungry, clothe the naked, give shelter to the homeless, visit the shut in and those in prison. Do we realize that if all mankind should do these simple acts of kindness and have love one to another, there would be no war, no people starving, or naked, or homeless, or lonely, or shunned. What greater worship to God than for mankind to live in love and harmony. Why don’t we focus on fulfilling the greatest commandment, Love God with all our hearts and the second greatest loving our fellowmen?
It’s Possible
The dream inside you is impossible only if you believe it is. You are the one who controls your destiny.
Don’t Let Problems Define You
Life is never without problems but don’t allow your problems to define you. You have to dig deep and try to rise above your circumstances.
Failure can lead to Success
Too often we are held back by the limitations we place on ourselves. Many times it can be done but self-doubt makes it impossible. The fear of failure is a shackle that will hold us back if we let it. The truth is that it may be necessary to fail sometimes in order to learn and grow and be successful in the end.
Be Positive
I love positive people, the ones who can look at a negative situation and say what can I learn from this. The ones who lift others up rather than tear others down. The ones who inspire their friends rather than waste time focusing on their enemies. The ones who see themselves as victors rather than victims.Stay positive my friends. The world need more positive people

You life, your story, your memories…Keeping a journal is one way to record those precious moments as you journey through life.
Ladies don’t Demean each Other
My sisters I want you to know that God saw a purpose for our existence and thus he created us and He was pleased with His handiwork. Now there was viral video recently of a pastor demeaning women. According to him if a woman wears makeup, paints her nails or wear hair which is not her own that makes her a whore. He went on to tell the men in his congregation that if they are married to a woman who does that they are married to a whore.
I know that most of us are intelligent enough to know the definition of a whore and that these things do not make a woman a whore any more than her wearing tight or short clothing. Ironically instead of being outraged some women defended this man, believing themselves that a woman’s attire is what defines her. I was disappointed but not surprised because sadly woman are often the first to tear down other women.
While I believe that a woman ought to carry herself in a respectable manner and dress properly for church the garment she wears does not make her a whore. As women we need to lift each other up instead of tearing each other down because what is in your heart counts more than what is on your body.
