A frog's story....

Once upon a time there was a race . . . by frogs. The goal was to reach the top of a high tower. Many people gathered to see and support them.
The race began. In reality, many people probably didn't believe that it was possible that the frogs could reach the top of the tower, and all the phrases that one could hear were: "What pain!! It’s too difficult! They'll never make it! Let’s wait and see how they drop out of the race!” One by one, the frogs began to resign and give up, feeling lousy after what they have heard from the onlookers. Except for one stubborn frog that kept on climbing the tower. The onlooking people continued: "... Look at them falling out! I don't think I will enjoy going through that, It's not my cup of tea . . . Too difficult and embarassing! I'll rather stay with the majority in the comfort zone of my crowd than do something out of my normal course of satisfaction!”
And one by one, the frogs admitted defeat, except for the frog that continued to persevere on and on . . . At the end, all the frogs quit, except for that solo one who, alone and with an enormous effort, reached the top of the tower.
The others wanted to know how he had done that! One of them approached him to ask how he did it to finish the race . . . and discovered that he was actually . . . DEAF!!

The moral of the story ... Never never ever listen to people who have the bad habit of being negative... because they steal the best aspirations of your heart! Always remind yourself of the power of the words that we hear or read. That's why, you always have to think positive.
It makes a lot of difference in every aspect of your life! Always be deaf to someone who tells you that you can't and won't achieve your goals or make your dreams come true. If you are facing marital setbacks, would you seek a divorcee for help? Of course they'll tell you marriages won't work in this world!
Opinions are cheap! Your life isn’t! What you do, feel or say now decides your future outcome. YOU are responsible for all situations around you, not others' or heaven's will, however convincing they may appear to be. You have the power to change any situation, it's whether you can see and react positively to it, or simply choose to ignore, escape and refuse to accept this as the truth . . . The heavier one's ego, the deeper one sinks into the ground.

Say a little prayer before work....

Psalm 23
(for the Work Place)

The Lord is my real boss, and I shall not want.
He gives me peace, when chaos is all around me.
He gently reminds me to pray and do all things
without murmuring and complaining.
He reminds me that he is my source and not my job.
He restores my sanity everyday and guides my
decisions that I might honor him in all that I do.
Even though I face absurd amounts of e-mails,
system crashes, unrealistic deadlines, budget
cutbacks, gossiping co-workers, discriminating
supervisors and an aging body that doesn't cooperate
every morning,
I still will not stop --- for He is with me!
His presence, His peace, and His power will see me
through.
He raises me up, even when they fail to promote me.
He claims me as His own, even when the company
threatens to let me go.
His Faithfulness and love is better than any bonus check.
When it's all said and done, I'll be working for Him a
whole lot longer and for that,

I BLESS HIS NAME !!!!!!

Amen.....peace be with you.

Cheers!!!

Word of wisdom

Actions speak louder than words.

Don't let the past hold you back, you're missing the good stuff.

Life's short. If you don't look around once in a while you might miss it.

A best friend is like a four leaf clover, hard to find and lucky to have.

Some people make the world special by just being in it.
Best friends are the siblings God forgot to give us.

When it hurts to look back, and you're scared to look ahead,
you can look beside you and your best friend will be there.

True friendship never ends.
Friends are forever.

Good friends are like stars....you don't always see them,
but you know they are always there.

Don't frown, you never know who is falling in love with your smile.

Most people walk in and out of your life,
but only friends leave footprints in your heart.
