Self-confidence Powers You

Image
A business executive was deep in debt and could see no way out. Creditors were closing in on him. Suppliers were demanding payment. He sat on the park bench , head in hands, wondering if anything could save his company from bankruptcy. Suddenly an old man appeared before him. “I can see that something is troubling you,” he said. After listening to the executive’s woes, the old man said, “I believe I can help you.” He asked the man his name, wrote out a check, and pushed it into his hand saying, “Take this money. Meet me here exactly one year from today, and you can pay me back at that time.” Then he turned and disappeared as quickly as he had come. The business executive saw in his hand a check for $500,000, signed by John D. Rockefeller, then one of the richest men in the world! “I can erase my money worries in an instant!” he realized. But instead, the executive decided to put the un-cashed check in his safe. Just knowing it was there might give him the strength to work out a way...

Beauty That Never Fades

A Russian boy, plagued by feelings of ugliness, gazed into a mirror and studied his reflection -- wide nose, think lips, tiny gray eyes, and over-large hands and feet. The boy was distraught about his appearance that he begged God to work a miracle and turn him into a handsome man. He vowed that if God would transform him, he would give his Creator all that he now possessed and all that he would earn in the future.

10 Ways to Find Inner Calm

1. SLOW DOWN If you often arrive places unable to recall the journey, it's time to check your internal speedometer. Take your time and be present in each moment. 2. MAKE 'ME TIME' Whether it's taking a solitary walk, soaking in the tub with your favorite music, or reflecting on your day in a journal, set aside time each day to check in with yourself and how you feel.  If you get into the habit, your awareness of your life desires will grow -- as well as your self-confidence. 3.

Persistence

Wayne Dyer wrote a book that he believed was important and much needed by a lot of people. Upon completing his book, he began to search for a publisher. All his search brought him were rejection slips. Not one publisher saw any market for Dyer's work. Discouraged but undaunted, he dipped into his own pocket and published the book himself. Then, he took to the roads to peddle it. He'd arrange appearances on local talk shows around the country, then stuff his car full of books and tell area booksellers he was going to be on the radio or TV the next day - and that he would provide them books to meed the demand created by his appearance. He did this for two years, selling a few books at a time.

Perhaps Love

Image
Perhaps the most challenging distinctive of Christianity is that our  God wants us to love him. While world religions talk of studying about  their gods, following teachings, keeping rules and living solemn,  self-sacrificing lives, becoming more self-aware, our God asks for  something more. He sent his son to show us how to love because that's what he wants. He wants us to love him, to love him with all our heart  and mind and soul. Love is longing for the presence of your loved one; you think about  that person throughout the day. Much more than words, this relationship  is a new way to live life. Jesus' disciples learned it through  experience. Toward the end of his life, John could speak of nothing  else, "... let's not merely say that we love each other; let us show the truth by our actions" (1 John 3:18 NLT) . Love demands relationship. You can memorize stacks of facts and know a  lot about someone, you could even deve...

The Unemployed Entrepreneur

An unemployed man applies for the position of a janitor at Microsoft. He was interviewed by the HR Chief and subjected to a battery of employment tests. The HR Chief tells him: Congratulations! You got the job! Just give me your email address so that I can send you and employment package and let you know when to start work. The man is distraught... he has no choice but to tell the HR Chief that he has no computer and therefore no email.The HR Chief tells him that if he has no email address, he virtually does not exist and therefore cannot hold a job. The man leaves in a desperate mood.

Hi! I am  KALI , your official Message Forwarder for this site. As our first post for the year, you will not read a forwarded message but a thank you note from your admin. I do not know you personally and vice versa; but there is this chain that connects us. Thanks to Blogger , to Facebook , to Twitter ... super thanks to the technology that bind us together. I want to thank you for sharing your valuable time with me by reading the posts and forwarding the same. This site actually started one typical day at the office; I paused from for a while to relax and refresh my mind. I went online to check, to look for something nice to read... I cannot recall any more where I landed, but I know that it was not what I wanted. So I signed in to my email account, checked my inbox and went over the files of forwarded messages to uplift my mind. And as they say, the rest were history.
