EMBRACE CHANGE WITH PASSION.

Accept that change will take place. It is inevitable. Be secure in the knowledge that you can deal with whatever happens. To feel secure you must bend your insecurities, and avoid breaking when things don't go your way. You'll always be secure to the degree that you can accept change. You actually become secure, not by standing still, but by growing, moving and being energized. Your ultimate security is your understanding of this reality.

There is no permanent security on this earth: there is only opportunity. Have the courage to bet on your new ideas, to take calculated risks, and to act on your opportunities. There is nothing to stop you on the road to success but yourself.


Change is good. Some people are afraid of change, but change is the invitation of experiencing something new that may affect your life in a positive way. Change is inevitable and will happen in all of our lives. In most cases, change is the way to move forward to success. Dealing with change is what will determine your success.

If we learn to embrace change and accept it as part of life, it becomes easier to handle every situation that presents itself. When you resist change, you can set yourself up for failure. We are all in constant motion and not everything will go according to plan. If we grow from the changes that take place, then we will be able to become more equipped to deal with life’s challenges.

You can either choose to grow with change or not to grow. Growth means embracing the change in our situation and looking for the things that help to learn from it.

Embracing change creates a flow that if followed may produce results that may just surprise us. Experience is life’s lesson to teach us how to accept change and make it work for us.

Change gets you out of your comfort zone and releases your full potential, even if it is risky, to pursue your purpose. Don’t stay in the box. There will be no change possible in that little box. Change helps you to meet new people, start new ventures, have new ideas, and experience new things. It gives you a sense of purpose and an opportunity to dream big, if you allow that to happen.

You have to make the decision to realize that people change; life changes, and situations will change because life is a process. Make a decision because you do have a choice, life will change, people change, situations change and so can you!

Some people view change as something difficult to handle, but if change is embraced, it can give you more choices to realize and accomplish more in your life. Fear is sometimes the cause of refusing to embrace change. Fear of the unknown does not necessarily mean that the unknown is bad. It would just be your concept of the unknown that limits you and prevent you from accepting change.

Facing the reality of change and increasing your confidence in your abilities will enable you to accept and embrace change as something good and not bad.

You should take a look at who you are now and what you want for our future. With that in mind, when change comes, it will be easy for you to evaluate yourself at that time, to see the effect of what that change can do to your present and future situation.

When there is an inner awareness and clarity in whatever you do, there will be a new outlook on change and will help us not to place blame on anyone, but to let the change affect you in a positive way.

Stop indulging in habitual things that don’t allow you to advance. Make and embrace changes on your own to get closer to your purpose. Successful people view change as a challenge and the ideal pursuit of better things to come and so should you.

YOU DETERMINE YOUR ATTITUDE.

Your attitude is not determined by circumstances, but by how you respond to your circumstances. You can respond positively or negatively to any situation.

It's how you react to events, not the events themselves that determines your attitude. Any challenge facing you is not as important as your attitude towards it, for that will determine your success or failure.

Things turn out best for the people who make the best of the way things turn out. It's not your position but your disposition that counts. For man proposes and GOD disposes.

If she'd taken the wrong attitude, the miracle would've never happened. It's your--it's your attitude towards the Divine gift of God which determines what's going to happen, always, always.

See, there's no individual person can heal. And there's no--no person that can save you against your will or heal you against your will. It has to be your attitude towards Jesus Christ, what determines your healing. Now, God has sent ministers to preach the Gospel. He put His Word out here, but He put ministers to preach it. He put the different things. But His church... But He has got members in this church or people in this church that... God has set the church in order. And if the people would just get in the place where God put them, and then the church would be in order.

Now, it's your attitude what that is what determines what you get. See? They put rag on His head and hit Him and said, "Tell us something." See? But He doesn't do that. It's your attitude towards Him.

Now, Daniel said, "I'm going to purpose in my heart. No matter how much pressure they put on me, how much they laugh and say I'm a holy-roller, that won't bother me a bit. That won't faze me one bit. I'm going to stay true to God no matter what comes through bad." That's the way. Then you're going to get somewhere when you start with that attitude.

Remember, it's the motive that you have towards anything that determines what you're going to get out of it. It's your motives. If your motive is right, you'll be all right. But always make your motives right. Serve the Lord for one purpose, because you love Him, not because you're afraid of hell, not because you're afraid of dying, but because you love Him, Who loved you when you were unlovable. That's it. "Dear dying Lamb, Thy precious Blood shall never lose its power till all the ransomed Church of God be saved to sin no more." That's right. "Ever since by faith I saw that stream, Thy flowing wounds supply, redeeming love has been my theme, and shall be till I die." What a marvelous quotation of the poet. And that's right. Take all of everything else, but give me love.

Now, Christ meets with man in different councils. Sometimes He meets with man in great numbers. Sometimes He meets with men in small numbers. The numbers doesn't mean whether Christ is there or not; it's the attitude of the people that's in the number what determines it.

Blind Son of Timaeus

Darkness once filled my world
Believing only what I smell and hear
Many are aware of my distresses
Yet many could barely bear

Left my juvenile court
To embrace the youthful arms I didn't see
In the open I sat daily
Waiting for the dime meant for me

In rags I am clothed
With crumbs I am fed
My bride hardly believes her sight
Wishing I was dead

Yet my little turtle dove
I sacrificed for her health
Forfeited my lamb for my daughter
Who sings my heart to melt

Though I haven't seen her
Her voice lingers in my head
I tried all to do for her
Yet couldn't make her cradle bed

Suicidal became my dearest friend
As fulfilment days drew near
Having achieving nothing big
Torrential judgment became my fear

As I walked down to my usual spot
I felt like any other day
Ambivalence clouds my mind
Wondering what next to say

Voices were noised abroad
Heralding an uncertain rain
What could this be I questioned
A familiar name heads my way

My adrenalin shot at desperation
My voice He heard finally
He sent for me and demanded
My request was granted gradually

Momma's Hand

I saw you hide your wrinkled hands
Behind your timid self called fear
I easily noticed the veins from those hands
Because they have always gave me care

I say it’s no disgrace
To have working hands like you
I wish I did all you did for me
I’d have hands like you too

The hands that has hauled down trees
And worked severely in God’s great earth
They’ve felt the bitterness in the cold
And warmed up those with cold hearth

They’ve touched the young in heart
And caressed the fevered head
With hands you’ve neatly carved
My cherished little cradle bed

They’ve scrubbed the kitchen floor
And done lots of dishes each day
They’ve guided orphans and prodigals
Who somehow had lost their way

Every year they’ve made Christmas gift
Accepted by friends with both hands
They don’t only care and guide
But has directed many to the promise land

They’ve worn bruises and blisters
And have many calluses to show
For all they’ve done for me and others
The tale speaks and everyone knows

So you see my dearest mother
Yours are the hands of love
And I bet the lord will easily notice
When he greets you up above

YOU ARE WHAT YOU THINK

It's a psychological law that whatever you desire to accomplish you must first impress upon your subconscious mind. Like they say “whatever the mind can conceive the heart can achieve”. Your inner thoughts can cause you to be rich or poor, loved or unloved, happy or unhappy, attractive or unattractive, powerful or weak.

What you impress upon your mind, you'll inevitably become. Relentless, repetitive self talk will change your self image. You'll affect your subconscious mind with verbal repetition. Constant repetition carries conviction.

When you change your values you'll change your behaviour. Start thinking of yourself as becoming the person you want to be. Self suggestion will make you the master of yourself.

You can become whatever you want to be. When you believe you can, then and only then you can.

OPPORTUNITY KNOCKS ALL THE TIME

The race is not to the swift or the battle to the strong, for time and chance happen to everyone. Take a second look at what appears to be someone's "good luck." You'll find not luck but preparation, planning and success-producing thinking.

Opportunity is around you all the time, but you have to be ready for it. A Motivational speaker once said “I’ll rather be prepared for an opportunity and don’t get one than get one and not be prepared”. When your chance comes, you must have the equipment to take advantage of it.

When you're prepared for opportunity, your chance for success is sure to come; for opportunity seldom come labelled. The season of failure is the best time for sowing the seeds of success. Success and failure are alike – they are both product of consistent effort. The tide of opportunity comes to everyone.
Even to you.

Success Is A Choice

There are no age limits on when you can transform your life. Change is possible at any time. It is essential if you want to grow. You have control over your life. Success or failure is up to you. “Many live their life likea candle in the wind Never fading with the sunset but When the rain sets in…”. The truth is do you wish to live your life that way or change it with a positive ideology – “no matter what comes my way, I’m going all the way?” It’s a matter of choice – a product of your decision.

You control how lucky you are. You create your wealth with your effort. The doubts you'll experience along the way are part of life. Make a plan to attain your success and stick to it. Your life is a marathon, not a short sprint.

Accept total responsibility for your actions and remove "QUIT" from your vocabulary. Decide you want success and it can be yours. Success is always your choice.

The Real Me

I am an introvert artist
That carries his brush wherever he goes
Should there be a need to cover up
So the real me never shows

I’m always afraid to let it show
Because I’m scared what you might do
Friends had derided and said mean things
I’m afraid I might loose new friends and also you

I will for once paint a true picture
To show you alone the real true me
But I want you to try and understand
I need you to accept everything you see

So if you’ll be patient and close your eyes
I’ll take my time to paint it steady and slow
Please understand how much it hurts
For me to let the real me show

Now that I have painted myself uncovered
I feel naked, bare and cold
And if you still love me with all that you’ve seen
Then you are my friend pure as gold

I shall treasure this little picture of mine
Though, I hold it daily in my hand
I want to keep it firm and handy
In case I meet many that would understand

So please protect the image you’ve seen
And thanks for telling me true
But please let me keep this image
Until I am able to love myself too

Freedom! Freedom!! Freedom!!!

Many years has passed us by
Yet no sign of a coming liberation
Our burden increase daily
At dusk we dine with affliction

Our fathers’ toiled day in day out
To satisfy the obnoxious task masters
Our mothers kept the chaste line strong
Despite all the promiscuous dangers

Our young and gorgeous daughters
Are used for pleasure and satisfaction
While our young and mighty men of valour
Were mainly used to stop opposition

Babies are abundantly born
In bondage they age and fade away
The strong being made susceptible to the weak
Hopes and dreams die each passing day

Every night with prayers of faith
Wondering when this madness would end
But all we see is Judas among us
Trying daily to be our comfort and friend

Who will remember us
Who will hear our humble cry
In disguise we are benevolence
Sitting idle gazing to the empty sky

WHAT’S THE SIZE OF YOUR HEART?

It isn’t the size of your house
That matters so much at all
It’s the gentle and loving touch
That makes you great or small

Friends old or new come and go
From thy bond would always depart
Would judge it not by the style you show
But rather by the size of your heart

It isn’t the size of your intelligent
It isn’t the wealth you found
That will make you happy at the end
But how well you touched the lives around

For making money is not a hard task
And to live LIFE well is nothing but an art
But how people love you and regard you
Only depends on the size of your heart.
