Thankful Sunday

No matter how busy we are we must take time to give God thanks for his merciea towarda us. Without his grace we could not survive in this world. Today let us give him thanks and praise for the past week and pray for his guidance to get us through another week. Have a Happy and peaceful Sunday.

What do you do When Plans go Asunder

What do you do when your plans go asunder,
What do you do when they all come to naught?
Don’t blame yourself, it’s okay to blunder,
Take heed, in life some mistakes are lessons taught.
Stop for a moment and cry if you must,
Smile through the teardrops and try to be brave,
Pick up the pieces and brush off the dust,
Then you move forward to battle the next wave.
Life is a battlefield where the toughest survive,
Don’t dwell on the problems and forget to have fun,
For though there are problems you still have to strive
To rise each morning and greet the rising sun.
Don’t let life problems get you down
Rise up stand tall and never frown.

This is my attempt at writing a sonnet. Thanks for reading. Please tell me what you think of it.

 

Notes on Friendship

Many people will walk into your life, but only true friends will leave footprints in your heart!

Be Careful What You set Your Heart Upon

“Be careful what you set your heart upon or you will surely have it.” I have found that there is some truth to this quote. You can apply it to your life as a tool of empowerment. Think about what you want to achieve in life. What is your greatest desire. What it it that you yearn for? Set your heart upon that think or things. Never lose focus on those things you desire the most and you will see a  manifestation of them in your life.

Daily Motivational Words to Inspire

One of the most important steps towards empowerment is having a reasonable belief in yourself and your abilities. Self-confidence plays a key role in your growth and development as an individual.

One of the main reasons people fail to evolve and grow is due to a lack of self confidence. It is not for a lack of strength. As individuals we all have our weak moments. Confidence is believing that in spite of what you might come up against you will overcome and achieve success.

Everyone has Something to Offer

Create a vision for your life and do not allow your environment, the people around you or past circumstance determine how you execute your dream. Stay focused. Ever so often rather than staying focused on what is important people allow naysayers to cause them to question their judgment and as a result lose confidence. One key element in achieving success is believing that it is possible.  We all have something to offer the world.  Your contribution is important. Challenge yourself to reach for the stars.

God is Fighting for You

When the battles you face seem too hard for you to fight alone, just remember God is in the background fighting for you. Life may get overwhelming and you may face attacks from all side but remember if God took you to it he will get you through it. When others abandon you, he will stand by you because he promised never to leave you or forsake you. He is watching over your life.

Surround Yourself With Positive People

Getting motivated and staying motivated is often difficult. There are times when you may feel like giving up. But remember that the ones who achieve success are the ones who didn’t quit when the going got tough. If you surround yourself with people who only have hard luck stories to share you will become disheartened. It is therefore important to have in your circle positive people who will encourage you and help you up when you feel you are slipping.

Should You Keep Silent if it Doesn’t Affect You?

Many of society’s ills are noticed by many but few intervene  because they either don’t care of feel it is none of their business. Society have placed people in different groups and class and are they treated in a manner in which others believe they should be treated.

So often people see others being unjustly treated and turn a blind eye. Often the way you are treated depends on what race you fall under. I recall an incident at an airport  where cops were trying to detain a white man. He was furious at the way he was been handled  and he shouted and I quote, “YOU ARE TREATING ME LIKE A BLACK PERSON” My thought was damn, and yet people pretend not to notice that black folks are treated differently. I believe that injustice is injustice. Color should not matter. Stop being silent.

Intolerance Creates Division in Society

People are often intolerant of others who may not look like them or have different view points from the ones they hold. Intolerance has created division among different groups of people and it is one of the reasons we all can’t get along. People are intolerant of  different skin color of of those of different political views, religion, sexual orientation and social status.

In my opinion everyone is entitled to be different or have unique qualities. We don’t have to all look the same or share the same views in order to get along. When we become more tolerant of each other there will be less conflict in society.
