Today you must say to self-doubt you cannot stay, I have no room for you. In order to achieve growth you have to first break up with the doubter within you because if you don’t it will hold you back and prevent you from taking the steps to achieve your goals.

Putin’s America
For months now I have been trying to find an answer, anything that could explain why Putin would be so interested in seeing a Trump’s Presidency. Could it be that he wants to see America fall apart. America has always been the most admired place in the world, a place that hold hope for many and a place that many wish to go.
Now I am left wondering if this is what Putin wanted to see: An America divided, an America that no longer cares and is quickly alienating its neighbors, an America that is despised by the rest of the world. When did any country become great by causing division among its people. How can we become safer by creating more enemies.
If this is what Putin wanted he can rest assured that his plan his working. All he has to do is throw a few more compliments Trumps way sit back, relax and drink champagne and watch America fall apart.

Never Get Involved With a Married Man
You would think that the fact that he is married would be a deterrent but despite this a lot of women get involved with married men and hang on to the hope that one day he will leave his wife.
Many women fall victims to the lie told to them by these men. Often times a man will make his wife out to be the problem in the relationship and offer the other woman hope that he will get a divorce. Some women are foolish enough to spend years waiting for him to be free, not grasping the fact that he has no intention of leaving home. Even if he does leave home what guarantee do you have that he wont do to you what he did to her. If he is married he is off limit so leave him alone.
It’s A New Day
Don’t dwell on the past, it is behind you. Look to the future in front of you. Make peace with those who you are at odds with and make peace with yourself. Don’t stay stuck focusing on the mistakes you have made. Today is an opportunity for a fresh start and another chance to get it right.
Hang in There
Smile, be happy, laugh a lot,
Don’t shed another tear;
A wonderful life is waiting for you,
So face it without fear.
There’ll be problems to solve, hurdles to cross,
Work hard and know you can cope.
With God at your side, Him as your guide,
Each day will bring new hope.
Days will pass by and turn into years,
The ache in your heart soon will heal;
Keep your faith and know that God always cares,
So tackle each new day with zeal.
Courage my friend, and trust be with you,
Accomplish each task with a grin;
Hang in there, you will make it I know,
Remember your God, you have him.

It’s Christmas
A Season Set Apart
This is a season set apart for giving
Our gifts that warm the heart,
As we celebrate Christ’s birthday
In a season set apart.
A season set apart for showing
How much we truly care
For those we share our lives with
And miss when they are not there.
A season set apart for going
That fabled “extra mile”
To help a needy stranger image credit TheHolidaySpot
And leave him with a smile.
A season set apart for loving
All creature great and small
In honor of the Christ Child
Who loved them one and all.
It’s the season of thanksgiving
For all we have received,
For once upon a Christmas day,
He came and we believed.

Anecdote of the Week
A Tragedy or a Blessing
Years ago in Scotland, the Clark family had a dream. Clark and his wife worked and saved, making plans for their nine children and themselves to travel to the United States. It had taken years, but they had finally saved enough money and had gotten passports and reservations for the whole family on a new liner to the United States.
The entire family was filled with anticipation and excitement about their new life. However, seven days before their departure, the youngest son was bitten by a dog. The doctor sewed up the boy but hung a yellow sheet on the Clarks’ front door. Because of the possibility of rabies, they were being quarantined for fourteen days.
The family’s dreams were dashed. They would not be able to make the trip to America as they had planned. The father, filled with disappointment and anger, stomped to the dock to watch the ship leave – without the Clark family. The father shed tears of disappointment and cursed both his son and God for their misfortune.
Five days later, the tragic news spread throughout Scotland – the mighty Titanic had sunk. The unsinkable ship had sunk, taking hundreds of lives with it. The Clark family was to have been on that ship, but because the son had been bitten by a dog, they were left behind in Scotland.
Moral of the story is that not every disappointment is a bad thing in fact sometimes a disappointment can be a blessing in disguise.

Does he Meet Your Expectations
Does the man you are dating have the attributes that you are seeking in a partner. Is he considerate or affectionate and does he seem trustworthy. Does he have a plan or a vision for the future. Is he the type who is just drifter, living for the moment with no thought about tomorrow….yes those types exist.
Is he someone who respects women or does he see women as an acquisition and boasts about his past conquests. Do you share the same values or interests. Do you find him easy to talk to and does he engage in meaningful conversations?
Sometimes at the start of a relationship sparks will fly and fires may be ignited but if you are not compatible it burns out quickly and the fire dies. So to save yourself heartache evaluate the facts in front of you and decide if he is someone you want to take a chance with.
