Our Everyday Attitude, Our Choice

Everyday we get to choose what kind of attitude we are going to have.

We can choose to be happy, look on the bright side, expect good things, believe that our dreams will come to pass OR  we can choose to be negative, focus on our problems, dwell on what didn't work out, live worried and discouraged.

It's a choice that we all make. Nobody can force us to have a certain attitude.

Life will go on much better if we simply choose to have positive attitude.

When we wake up in the morning, we can choose to be happy, choose to be grateful for the day, choose to focus on our possibilities.

A good attitude does not automatically come; if we don't make this choice, most likely we will default back  to a negative mindset. Think about this,
I don't feel like going to work,
My boss is pissed off with me,
I have got so many obstacles,
Nothing good ever happens to me...blah blah blah

The problem is - Negative attitude limits our life.

We all face difficulties, we all have our own challenges and tough times, but the right attitude should be -"This didn't come to stay, it came to pass and  will pass away, it's only temporary."

May be you didn't get the promotion you were hoping for, or may be things are not  going as you expected to happen; you could be easily soured , that's all right, God has something better in store.  
  
When you are with positive mindset, you may lose temporarily but you can't be defeated. No matter what comes your way, you shake it off and move forward.

Stay positive !! learn to focus on brighter side, see the silver lining in every cloud. 

It's  never our circumstances that make us negative, but our attitude towards those circumstances. 

Positive people know that God is in control and that nothing Happens without His permission. They don't wait for the situation to change and then they are going to be happy; they are happy while God is changing their situation.  

When you are positive you are actually passing the TEST. You are saying, "God I trust you, I know you are fighting my battles for me." 

And I have learnt one thing, if you are not happy where you are, probably you would not get to where you want to be.

Don't wait for everything to workout and then you are going to have good attitude. 
Have a good attitude NOW, while God can begin changing your situation.

With Love,
Leo

Life is going to shovel DIRT on you, ALL KIND OF DIRT. It's upto you how you take it.

One day a farmer's donkey fell down into a well. The animal cried piteously for...hours as the farmer tried to figure out what to do.

Finally he decided, the animal was old, and the well needed to be covered up anyway; it just wasn't worth it to retrieve the donkey.

He invited all his neighbors to come over and help him. They all grabbed a shovel and began to shovel dirt into well.

At first the donkey realized what was happening and cried horribly.Then, to everyone's amazement he quieted down.

At few shovel later, the farmer finally looked down the well. He was astonished at what he saw. With each shovel of dirt that hit his back, the donkey was doing something amazing. He would shake it off and take a step up.

Pretty soon, everyone was amazed as the donkey stepped up over the edge of the well and happily trotted off!

MORAL :

• Life is going to shovel DIRT on you, ALL KIND OF DIRT. The trick to getting out of the well is to shake it off and take a step up.

• Each of our trouble is a stepping stone. We can get out of the deepest wells just by not stopping, never giving up!. Shake it off and take a step up.

Believe Remember the five simple rules to be happy :

2. Free your mind from worries - most never happen.
3. Live Simply and appreciate what you have.
4. Give more.
5. Expect less from people but more from God. 

Living The Word # 3 : Sex - From Biblical Perspective

Sexual immorality is a temptation that is always before us. In movies and on televisions, sex outside marriage is treated as normal, even desirable part of life, while marriage is often shown as confining, boring and joyless. We can even be looked down on by others if we are suspected of being 'pure' . 

 The temptation to engage in sexual intercourse/activities outside the marriage relationship has always been powerful.

Giving in to that temptation can have disastrous results. Sexual sins always hurt someone : individuals, families, businesses , relationships. Sexual desires and activities must be placed in Christ's control.

Sexual sins seem difficult to withstand because they appeal to the normal and natural desires that God has placed in us. Marriage provides God's way to satisfy these natural sexual desires and the partners against temptation.

God does not forbid sexual sins just to be difficult. He knows its power to destroy us physically and spiritually. We should not underestimate the power of sexual immorality. It can and has devastated countless lives and destroyed families, relationships, communities and even nations.

God created sex for procreation and pleasure and as an expression of love between a husband and wife. Therefore, the sexual experience must be limited to the marriage.

We are free to be all we can for God but we are not free from God. God in his wisdom and authority engineered our bodies and designed sex to be a beautiful and essential ingredient of marriage, but sexual sins - sex outside the marriage always hurts someone. It hurts God, our creator because it shows that we prefer following our own desires instead of the leading of the Holy Spirit. It hurts others because it violates the commitment so necessary to a relationship.

Besides the physical and spiritual consequences of sexual sins, there are also emotional consequences.It deeply affects our personality, which responds in anguish  when we harm ourselves physically and spiritually.

No loving father would neglect the safety of his children, allowing them  to walk into circumstances that might be harmful or fatal.God wants us to protect us from damaging ourselves and others, so he offers to fill us - our loneliness, our desires - with Him. 

Living the Word # 2

Remember that if God asks you to do something, He will give you necessary and sufficient strength to carry out that task. 

So do not be surprised or do not lose your FAITH if He asks you to give up secure, familiar surrounding IN ORDER TO CARRY OUT  HIS WILL.

Living the Word # 1 : Obedience through Suffering

But even though He (Jesus) was God's son, He learnt THROUGH HIS SUFFERINGS to BE OBEDIENT. - Bible (Hebrews 5:18)

The sufferings and hardships which we face in our lives make us learn Obedience to God. 

We ought to be patient during our hard times and rely on His mercies.

 

We need not be afraid when we are undergoing tough times or when faced with hardships. They come with a purpose in our lives.

 

Nothing (which we consider bad) happens to us but happens for us. They would not occur in our lives without God's plan and purpose behind them.

 

So always be joyful in your union with the Lord, be filled with hope and courage. We need not fear anything for the Lord Himself has said, "I will never leave you nor forsake you."

 

Stay Blessed ! Stay Happy.

   

Dreams are meant to be real.

Believe in your dreams, never let them die. You would never like to lie in your coffin regretting that you have missed doing something,and that you are not yet done with your life.

Fear is the greatest enemy of man. Fear is what stops you from growing; it is fear that stops you from trying something new which you always felt like doing.  

But let me tell you that you were never born to fear. The world outside made you believe that you need to fear every now and then. It always, continuously whispers, “fear the unknown, fear uncertainty, fear failure, fear rejection, fear being looked down, fear losing your job…and blah blah”. The list is endless.

Don’t believe them. They are all lies, meant to distort you. You were born to succeed, to live on your own terms. You were born to love and be loved, to appreciate and to be appreciated. You are born to be an achiever.

You are a unique and priceless creation of the Almighty. Never dilute yourself trying to copy others, trying to live somebody else’s life.Of course you can learn from them if there is something to be, but Stay Original. Believe in yourself, believe in your dreams.Life is just once, man!

 Do not let the world crush you or make you like one of its own. Don’t let yourself get lost in the crowd. Chase your dreams, pursue them till you achieve. Dreams are meant to be real. Believe me.

And yeah, never be afraid of growing slowly but of staying stagnant. As they say,  construction of a pyramid takes time; and pyramids last longest. Rome was not built in a day. Same might be the case with you.So Keep moving. Keep growing. Keep learning. Take life as a continuous learning process; you would fall in love with it, as I am, so deeply.

Lovingly yours,

Leo.
