Life isn't about trying to be perfect, impressing people, or succeeding at everything. It's about making mistakes and learning from them, surrounding yourself with people that bring out the best in you and love you when you're being yourself. It's about getting through the tough times and realizing that they're only making you stronger and having faith that you are right where you belong, where God has intended you to be all along.
Enjoy life...to have a better life...:)
God bless all of you. <3 <3

Only you can be YOU- No one--anywhere -- is exactly like you.
You're different.
You're special.
But maybe you don't really feel
like that.
Have you ever found yourself
standing in the middle of a crowd? You look around, and you can't see anyone
you know ... and you're sure that no one in that crowd knows you.
You've had that feeling, haven't
you? When you're standing in the middle of that crowd you have a strong
feeling that no one even knows you exist. And just at that moment you
probably also feel like there's nothing special about you at all. You're just
another person ... another face in the crowd.
Well, that's not an unusual
feeling to have. You're not the first person to feel that way. But you're
wrong. I can guarantee it. You're not just another face in the crowd. As I
said a moment ago, you
are unique... you are special ... there is no one else in
all the world exactly like you.
And no, I am not just trying to
make you feel good. What I'm saying is absolutely true. Scientists have
proved it.
In the first place, you know that
police and government departments use fingerprints to identify people. They
put some ink on your fingers and press them on paper, and they can tell by
the patterns that your fingers leave if you really are the person you say you
are. That's because no two people in the world have the same fingerprints.
And that's only one way you are
different. Some scientists in Japan have discovered that your lips are
special too. Just like your fingerprints, your lips have little markings on
them, little grooves in the skin ... and everyone has a different pattern.
And there's something else that
really is well known ... no one else smells exactly like you. That's not an
insult. It's a fact. That's why police tracking dogs can follow one person's
trail for long distances just by the smell they leave behind on the ground
they touch.
But that's only a small beginning
of the ways you are different -- you are unique. Eyes can be used for
identification -- just like fingerprints -- because every eye in the world is
different.
One doctor in the United States made a study of what is inside of
people ... and he discovered that even your stomach is different from
everyone else's. No two are exactly the same size or shape.
Then there is your heart. It's
different, too. No two people in the world have hearts that are exactly the
same size or shape. Then there is the system of veins and arteries that
carries your blood all through your body. It's also different.
So you see ... you are unique.
You are different.
No one -- anywhere -- is exactly
like you. YOU ARE VERY SPECIAL !!!
May God Bless Us All...... Have a Better Life. :)

Use PMA (Positive Mental Attitude) instead of NMA (Negative Mental Attitude)
Build strong confidence and you are on your way. You do this by attacking the "disadvantage complex."
Don't be tricked, tripped, and trapped by the disadvantages complexes if one or more are bothering you.
" I'm too Old."
The truth is you are never too old to change. You are not too old to change until you give up.Only when you reach to the point where you don't care anymore - then, and only then-are you old. You are not old until you have lost your vision.
" I'm handicapped."
The most serious handicap any person can have is an impossibility complex. For him, everything is impossible. You are not handicap until you think you are.
" I don't have time, money, or energy to do what I'd like to do."
Are you sure? Many successful businessman started from nothing. You will find time if you spend your time wisely. you always have energy if you will not allow yourself to be drained from useless and nonsense issues.
" I am from a lowly background."
So what? No one's background or past is disadvantageous unless he makes it so in his thinking! Remember, any disadvantage rightly handled can be turned into an advantage.
" I came from a broken home. I had an awful childhood."
" My parents quarreled, then divorced, and I was shuttled back and forth. I am afraid I am an emotional cripple for the rest of my life." Is that so? Only if you want it to be. It's your choice.
" I don't know the right people."
So what? Get acquainted with big people. If you have a reason. Don't be afraid. Successful and important people are usually interested in helping other people with good ideas. All you need is the nerve to contact these kind of people. You can build a friendship with famous people if you forget your inferiority feelings, muster great nerve and walk up confidently to enthusiastically introduce yourself.
" I don't have a good education."
"My I.Q. is lower than others." So What. "First prizes don't always go to the brightest and strongest man. Again and again the man who wins is the man who is sure that he can."
You are not a failure. You are not an accident. You are special with unique potentials. Your life here on earth has a purpose. One of that purpose is for you to be successful in all your endeavors, plans, goals and dreams. Don't let negativism pull you down, Stand up and Go for it! May God bless us all richly! :)

Don't Sweat The Small Stuff.
Here are some simple ways to keep little things from taking over your life:
1. Ask yourself the question. "Will this matter a year from now?"
Is what you are worked up over going to matter a year from now? If not, don't let it destroy you today.
2. Practice Humility. The less compelled you are to try to prove yourself to others; the easier it is to feel peace inside.
3. Remember that you become what you practice the most. How do you spend your time? What you do is what you become.
4. Everyday, tell at least one person something you like, admire, or appreciate about them. Telling others that you appreciate them takes almost no effort, but pays enormous dividends.
5. Choose your battles wisely. Every circumstance or problem is not worth the fight. There will always be things and people that don't do right.
6. Life is a test. It is only a test. When you look at life as a test, you begin to see each issue as an opportunity to grow.
7. Remind yourself that when you die, your "In Basket" won't be empty. The purpose of life isn't necessarily to get all done, but to to the right things.
8. Learn to live in a present moment. "Life is what's happening while we're busy making other plans."
9. Think of what you have, instead of what you want. Contentment is not always waiting for some future event to happen.
10.Understand the statement " Wherever you go, there you are." We tend to believe that if we were somewhere else, we'd be happy. Whatever you are thats what you'll be wherever you go.
11. Become a better listener. Most of us are only adequate listeners, but the best gift you can give someone is to listen.
12. Be grateful when you're feeling good and graceful when you're feeling bad. Good and bad come and go. No one is either happy or sad all the time.
13.Resist the urge to criticize. When we judge or criticize someone it says nothing about that person; it merely says something about our own need to be critical.
14. See the Innocence. One of the most frustrating aspects of life is not being able to understand other people's behavior. We see them as "guilty" instead of "innocent". But, when you see others as not trying to hurt you, you can relax.

Do Your Best
It’s not always easy to know which path to follow, which decision to make, or what to do.
Life is a series of new horizons, new hopes, new days, and changes that come to you. And we all need some help with these things from time to time.
Remember these things: Dream it. Do it. And discover how special you are. Be positive, for your attitude will affect the outcome of many things. Ask for help when you need it; seek the wisdom the world holds and hold on to it. Make some progress every single day. Begin. Relieve. And become.
Give yourself all the credit you’re due; don’t short change your qualities, your abilities, or any of the things that are so unique about you. Remember how precious life can be. Imagine. Invest the time it takes to reach out for your dreams; it will bring you happiness that no money on earth can buy. Don’t be afraid; no mountain is too big to climb if you do it at your own pace.
What’s the best thing to do? That’s simple:
Do Your Best.
And everything else will fall into place.

Most Richly Blessed
I asked God for strength, that I might achieve,
I was made weak, that I might learn humbly to obey.
I asked God for health, that I might do greater things,
I was given infirmity, that I might do better things.
I asked for riches, that I might be happy,
I was given poverty, that I might be wise.
I asked for power, that I might have the praise of men,
I was given weakness, that I might feel the need of God.
I asked for all things, that I might enjoy life,
I was given life, that I might enjoy all things.
I got nothing, I asked for----
but everything I have hoped for.
Almost despite myself, my
unspoken prayers were answered.
I am, among all men,
most richly blessed.

PMA
“A
positive mental attitude is the starting point of all riches,
whether they be riches of a material nature or intangible riches.“
whether they be riches of a material nature or intangible riches.“
I want you now to get a paper and a pen. Write down all your problems whether it is financial, job, emotional or even psychological. Now look at your problems and think for few minutes, what is the worst thing that can be caused by any problem? Whatever the bad results it will never kill you. What really can end your life as you know is your fear and your negative thoughts. If your manager called you to his office you keep asking, what wrong did I do? How will be the punishment? Will he fire me? You never thought he will promote you, “happy birthday! Today is your birthday and you can go home early to celebrate with your family”. That’s why your manager called you. But you just wasted few minutes in your negative thoughts adding some pressure on your brain and health.
I don’t want to make it long, so I will talk directly and tell you these words by my own tongue and my heart also “your thinking _whether it is positive or negative _ will not change the problem, but if it is positive you can see all the sides and find the solution quickly and pass it with minimal effect, and if it is negative you will gain extra load and pressure and you will keep thinking about the problem not about the solution”. No need to fear, no need for pressure. Be positive in everything, love, marriage, work even if you were ill, be positive and you will recover quickly ;)
The clock doesn’t stop and you can’t catch the time. You have hours to live, may be millions, may be hundreds or may be few. So, believe it… your life will not be beautiful unless you love everything about it. Love your life, your studies, your problems and every small thing in your life, enjoy it. You can add some fruits to your life, fruits in everything and everywhere. By seeing the good end in every scene and expecting the sun from behind the glooms.
Steps and hints to have the highest PMA, wait for us in the next articles. God blesses all of you and we wish you a better life J
