LET US ENJOY THE FESTIVE SEASON, MAKE THE MOST OF THE SITUATION THAT WE ALL IN AND REFELECT WHAT CAN BE LEARNT GOING THROUGH THE TOUGHEST TIME THAT HAS AFFECTED THE GLOBE.

 


AND SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT

rather choke on greatness than nibble on mediocrity

Let's do what we love, and let's do a lot of it

It always seems impossible until it's done

When you have a really bad day, try and treat the world better than it treated you

Work until you no longer have to introduce yourself

Always find time for the things that make you feel happy to be alive

Go the extra mile, it’s never crowded

DREAM


 

In life, many thoughts are born in the course of a moment, an hour, a day. Some are dreams, some visions. Often, we are unable to distinguish between them. To some, they are the same; however, not all dreams are visions. Much energy is lost in fanciful dreams that never bear fruit. But visions are messages from the Great Spirit, each for a different purpose in life. Consequently, one person's vision may not be that of another. To have a vision, one must be prepared to receive it, and when it comes, to accept it. Thus when these inner urges become reality, only then can visions be fulfilled. The spiritual side of life knows everyone's heart and who to trust. How could a vision ever be given to someone to harbor if that person could not be trusted to carry it out. The message is simple: commitment precedes vision.

THE SERENITY PRAYER

GOD GRANT ME THE SERENITY
TO ACCEPT THE THINGS I CANNOT CHANGE;
COURAGE TO CHANGE THE THINGS I CAN;
AND WISDOM TO KNOW THE DIFFERENCE.

LIVING ONE DAY AT A TIME;
ENJOYING ONE MOMENT AT A TIME;
ACCEPTING HARDSHIPS AS THE PATHWAY TO PEACE;
TAKING, AS HE DID, THIS SINFUL WORLD
AS IT IS, NOT AS I WOULD HAVE IT;
TRUSTING THAT HE WILL MAKE ALL THINGS RIGHT
IF I SURRENDER TO HIS WILL;
THAT I MAY BE REASONABLY HAPPY IN THIS LIFE
AND SUPREMELY HAPPY WITH HIM
FOREVER IN THE NEXT.
AMEN.
