Fear, Worry & Faith..


Life is tough,  ruthless and a bully. This is a valid fact. For every dream or desire that you have and want fulfilled, you must first be willing and ready to fight. There is no other way. Desire is not enough. Most of us are wishful thinkers and so naive to expect that life will deliver our expectations without any struggle or contention. What an illusion!

But in the midst of this, one of the greatest discoveries, you can make in life is to find out that you can do what you were afraid you couldn't do. 

The fear to do it, is faith in reverse. The worst liars in the world are your own fears. Worry is the traitor in our camp that dampens our power and weakens our aim. Worry is faith in the negative, trust in the unpleasant assurance of disaster and belief in defeat. 

Worry is a magnet that attracts negative conditions. Faith is a more powerful force that creates positive circumstances. Worry is wasting today's time to clutter up tomorrow's opportunities with yesterday's troubles. 

Almost 99% of the things that we worry about don't happen. Fear is a poor chisel to carve out your tomorrow's. Faith is daring to do something regardless of the consequence. Do not pray for easy lives. Pray to be stronger men. Do not pray for tasks equal to your power. Pray for power equal to your tasks. 

Shoot for the moon, even if you miss it, you will land among stars. You have to think big to be big. The impossible is what nobody can do until someone does. Progress always involve risk. You can't steal second base if your foot is still on first. 

Do you look at the horizon and see an oppurtunity or do you look into the distance and fear a problem? He who does not dare would not get his share. When you dare for nothing, you should hope for nothing. I dare you to live by faith!

Haste Makes Waste

There are no shortcut to any place worth going. The way to the top is neither swift or easy. Nothing worth while ever happens in a hurry, so be patient. Your success has less to do with speed and more to do with timing and direction. The key is doing the right thing at the right time.  You are always nearer than you think. The greater oppurtunity is where you are. Do not despise your own place and hour. The most important thing in our lives is what we are doing now. Know the real value of today. The regrets that most people experience in life comes from failing to act when having an oppurtunity. Be on the outlook for oppurtunities God is sending your way. Seize the momoments! The trouble with life in the fast lane is that you get to the other end too soon. Hastes makes waste; give time, time. Many people over estimate what they can do in a year and under estimate what they can do in a life time. There is simply more to life than increasing it's speed. 

Refuse To Live a Targetless Life

The ability to set a goal is the master skill to success. Success is goals, all else is commentary. You cannot hit a target you cannot see, if you don't have one. One of the greatest mistakes and a waste of life is living without a clear purpose or goal. A life without clear goals is a life doomed to failure.  Any man who selects a goal in life which can be fully achieved has already defined his own limitation. So the clearer you are about your goal, the more rapidly you'll attract people and circumstances into your life to help make that goal a reality.  Most people have their eye on the wrong goal. Is more money, a higher position or more influence your goal? These are not goals but are the by-products of true goals. We should work to become, not acquire.  Measure wealth not by things you have, but by the things you have for which you would not take money. Happiness is not a reward - it's a consequence. Suffering is not a punishment - it's result. 

Value

A well known speaker started off his seminar by holding up a $20 bill. In the room of 200, he asked, "Who would like this $20 bill?" Hands started going up. He said, "I am going to give this $20 to one of you but first, let me do this." He proceeded to crumple the dollar bill up. He then asked, "Who still wants it?" Still the hands were up in the air. "Well," he replied, "What if I do this?" And he dropped it on the ground and started to grind it into the floor with his shoe. He picked it up, now all crumpled and dirty . "Now who still wants it?" Still the hands went into the air. "My friends, you have all learned a very valuable lesson. No matter what I did to the money, you still wanted it because it did not decrease in value. It was still worth $20." Many times in our lives, we are dropped, crumpled, and ground into the dirt by the decisions we make and the circumstances that
