We are all children of God and being his children we cannot be sad. Sadness is the end product of selfishness. If we truly want to live for God we will never lack cheerfulness even when we discover our errors and wretchedness.
Hardship is something to be expected. It is an integral part of an ordinary life. Our joy cannot be dependent on some future earthly paradise where there are no difficulties, contradictions or temptations. As a matter of fact we need hardships if we are to attain substantive victory. Without them our pursuit of virtue would be hollow.
Birds not only fly due to the action of their wings, but also due to the resistance in the atmosphere.
Our joy must have firm foundation.
you may ask is it really possible to always stay happy.......well once the firm desire for that is set then every thing else will fall into place..... but being lukewarm is not a choice.....you either choose to be happy or not....cold or hot....... INTERMEDIATE.....NAHHHHH!!! NOT A GOOD IDEA...THE WORD SHOULDN'T EVEN EXIST........
Wanting without really wanting.......this only shows cowardice ...
Why not make that firm decision once and for all?
At least i can say i tried it and i am slowly but surely getting there ..with God's help off course because alone it would probably be a hoax or worse yet a NIGHTMARE!

how sad it is............
Its funny the way in which many are the times which words are uttered but few are the times the words are put into action......hmmmmm
probably we have become people who speaking is just but a routine and hardly do we take the time to ponder what we say...i mean it happens a lot when our mouths seem to work faster than our brains and not forgetting the hands too...goodness knows this has happened to me enough times till i bumped into some article that seemed to be sending its message directly to me, and i must say the words went far in doing their job....THE COMMUNICATION WAS CLEAR.
DEEDS GIVE LIFE TO SPEECH. WORDS MAY BE SUPPRESSED AND YET WORK SPEAKS OUT FOR THEM. WORDS ARE MANY YET DEEDS ARE WANTING.
Big ups to all those who will choose to join me in TRYING to live up to the above words!!!!!
The effort counts.....

Resilience is key
The word resilience teaches us not to give up after disappointment
The ability to bounce back after a plan or goal backfires is a strength we should all possess
Failing once does not mean failure forever.....
Always have the spirit to dust yourself up and try again, carefully this time
We cannot undertake a task believing we are going to fail
If you fail, summon the strength to accept that. Hold your head up and try again....till you succeed!!!

Its all about YOU!!!
well i sat down ta pick the beauty of the day and i just remembered a quote that was shared by a friend.... well i couldn't help but smile at the thought of it for i know how far it has brought me in life...and it says..
To lead an orchestra you must let your back be seen by the people
Simply means that in life much will happen but in the face of it all
we must not let the negative comments or words that will be said hurt us.... instead,
let what people say be your reference point and not your resting point only then can you truly get by the daily challenges of life.....

when life goes hard i go harder
When i started this race i thought it would be easy
Never thought there were times when i would come to fall
But temptations may come my way ...and trials may come my way
But through it all they have come to make me stronger.....
And though this race seems hard i am running...
Though i might fall i'll rise up again...
no i wont stop running till i get there...
It is my hope that we all have the attitude to keep running
and when the world brings us lemons we might as well make lemonades out of them
And when the world pushes us to our knees .., then the better as we will be in the best position to pray.......:*)
