' My mother said to me , " If you become a soldier , you'll become a general ; if you become a monk , you'll end up as the pope " . Instead , i became a painter and wound up as Picasso ' .
- Picasso
God's creation of you put a smile on his face . Why , then , do so many people not accept the way God made them ? God made you on purpose for a purpose . He has a job for you that no one else can do as well as you . Out of billions of applicants , you're the most qualified .
When you're trying to be like someone else , the best you can ever be is second best .
Here , is an inspiring story .
A middle aged women had a heart attack and was rushed to the emergency room . On the operating table she had a near death experience . Seeing God , she asked if this was it . He said , ' No , you have forty three years, two months and eight days to live ' . Upon recovery , she decided to stay in the hospital and have a face lift , liposuction , tummy tuck , the whole works . She even had someone come in and change her hair color , figuring that since she had so much life remaining , she might as well make the most of it . She was discharged after the final procedure , however , while crossing the street outside , she was killed by a speeding ambulance Arriving in God's presence , she fumed , ' I thought you said i had another forty-plus years ' . He replied , " I din't recognize you " .
Be yourself . Think about it .
A proverb says - " Wood may remain ten years in the water , but it'll never be a crocodile " .
There is only one life for you - your own . Most people live their entire lives as complete strangers to themselves .
Motivational speaker and author Leo Buscaglia admonished ,
The easiest thing to be in the world is You . The most difficult is to be what others want you to be . Don't let them put you in that position .
Stop looking only at where you are and start looking at what you can be . No one can defeat you unless you first defeat yourself .
Charles Caleb Colton , writer and motivational speaker said ;
We are sure to be losers , when we quarrel with ourselves , it is a Civil war .
You may succeed if nobody else believes in you , but you will never succeed if you don't believe in yourself .
Frank Tyger says ,
" Your future depends on many things , but mostly on you " .
ENTHUSIASM takes you where TALENT alone can't :-
I agree with novelist and historian Charles Kingsley ,
We act as though comfort and luxury were the chief requirements of life , when all that we need to make us really happy is something to be enthusiastic about .
Your enthusiasm reflects your reserves , your unexploited resources , and perhaps your future output .
Don't be afraid of the OBSTACLES :-
The breakfast of the champions is not cereal ;
it is Obstacles .
Obstacles are merely a call to strengthen , not quit . If you have a dream without problems , you don't really have a dream .
Samuel Glover advised ;
" Circumstances are the rulers of the weak , but they are the instruments of the wise " .
Don't let your problems take the lead - you take it .
Chinese have a maxim that says ,
" The gem cannot be polished without friction , nor man perfected without trials " .
Challenges make you stretch - they make you go beyond the norm . Turning an obstacle to your advantage is the first step towards victory .
Martin Luther King Jr . said ,
the ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort , but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy .
Life is as uncertain as a grapefruit's squirt .
When i hear somebody say that " Life is hard " , i am always tempted to ask " Compared to what" ?
God rejoices over you :-
Its not how you dress your body , it's how you dress your heart .
You are not insignificant . Never view your life as if God did nothing for you . Make the most of yourself , for that is all God made you for . The first and worst of all frauds is the betrayal of yourself . If you deliberately plan to be less than you are capable of being , you will bring unhappiness to the rest of your life . Every person is gifted . We are responsible to God for becoming what God has made possible for us to become .
Jerry Van Dyke , actor - comedian said it so well ;
The best rose bush is not the one with the fewest thorns , but that which bears the finest roses .
Your life makes a difference . There is no unimportant people . So , make the best out of it .
One Life , One Love , One Destiny
