Attitude

"Any fact facing us is not as important as our attitude toward it, for that determines our success or failure. The way you think about a fact may defeat you before you ever do anything about it. You are overcome by the fact because you think you are." - Norman Vincent Peale

Self vs Others

"Never forget: the secret of creating riches for oneself is to create them for others." - Sir John Templeton

His Graces

we fail to take cognizance of the many wonderful graces we have received from Him with respect to our faith, life, health, material sufficiency, loved ones and friends. How often have we taken the blessings that God has given to us! Miracles are happening all around us every day and yet we are so blind to the wondrous works that God is doing for us and with us each day. We fail to see these as signs from God, tokens of His love and mercy for us.

Taken for granted

Not only do we take God and our faith for granted, we take our loved ones for granted as well. We are more grateful to strangers or to acquaintances who help us with small favours now and then, rather than to our friends and loved ones who spend much time and resources on us. The love and kindness shown to us by our spouse and intimate friends seem to be something owed to us and not perceived as graces given to us. When we take people for granted, especially those who are close to us, we do not grow in our love for them

Press On

Thank God we can press on to what He has in store for us. In the meantime we need to keep our hand to the plow and quit looking back to what once was and will never be again.- joyce meyer

Positive Attitude

A positive attitude enables you to make the best of every situation, and that gives you power over your circumstances instead of allowing your circumstances to have power over you.

Love

It's not how much we give but how much love we put into giving.- Mother Teresa

Destiny

People don't determine your destiny; God does. Don't get caught up in the negativity around you. Instead, trust God and charge forward to His great destiny for you!

Self Discovery

There can be no question of discovering one’s vocation without prayer and a deep intimacy with God. Finding one’s vocation is not simply a question of a rational analysis of what we want to do in life. Vocation is not revealed to “the learned and the clever.” Vocation originates from prayer life. Only a personal intimacy with the Lord can help us to acquire the heart of the Good Shepherd. Only in prayer, will the Lord reveal Himself to us mere children, who know Him and who share in His love

Be True to yourself

"ALWAYS be true to yourself, even if it seems as if you're being difficult. Others can subtly or explicitly undermine you & it may seem okay for them to get away with it; and if you allow them to because of how you might appear, then it's YOU who needs to step into your power. Give yourself permission to express what you truly feel & trust that the outcome will be for the highest good of all concerned." - Helen Lee

Put into action

‎"Create a definite plan for carrying out your desire, and begin at once, whether you're ready or not, to put it into action."- Napoleon Hill

Dare to Dream

"Even the wildest dreams have to start somewhere. Allow yourself the time and space to let your mind wander and your imagination fly.” - Oprah Winfrey

Gentle & Humble

So let us never ever think that success in our work or ministry is due to our hard work and ingenuity. Everything and all glory belongs to Him alone! That is why Jesus said, “learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. Yes, my yoke is easy and my burden light.” Yes, learn humility from Him and we will find rest from all anxieties and rest for our souls.

God Knows

God sees and acts for us because He hears our cries and sees our miseries and feels our pain and woundedness. He did not act to show and display how powerful and mighty He is! When there is love, no one speaks of duty and if there is burden, it is always light!

Take Action

"Action is a great restorer and builder of confidence. Inaction is not only the result, but the cause, of fear. Perhaps the action you take will be successful; perhaps different action or adjustments will have to follow. But any action is better than no action at all." - Norman Vincent Peale

True Self

To show our emotions, to be vulnerable, to open ourselves fully, without holding back, is the most beautiful thing we can ever do. I think it is by bearing yourself that you progress in your growth and become a stronger person. The more you open yourself up, the more you’ll grow.

Letting Go

There are things that we never want to let go of, people we never want to leave behind. But keep in mind that letting go isn’t the end of the world, it’s the beginning of a new life.– Author Unknown
