Need to give our best all time

We sometimes quit even before we start. We don't think we are strong enough sometimes or it is just simply impossible. But we have to endure it for in the end it is worth it. We need to give our best all the time, in everything we do.

How wealth is judged

- Author Anonymous

A week ago the sycamore tree was loaded with gold.  However, instead of sitting back and enjoying it, it began to give it away.  At first it was just a leaf here and a leaf there, whenever the wind asked for a contribution.  But soon it was giving it away in fistfuls, without even being asked, and without a thought for a wintry tomorrow.

Wealth is judged, not by the amount that is accumulated, but by the amount that is given away.

The only wealth that is worth having is the wealth of the heart.  To close one's heart is to begin to die; to open it is to begin to live.

The 18th Camel

A father left 17 camels as an asset to his three sons.

When the father passed away, his sons read his Will.  The Will stated that the eldest son should get half of the total camels, while the middle son should be given one-third, and the youngest son should be given one-ninth of the total camels.

As it was not possible to divide 17 into half or 17 by 3 or 17 by 9, and the three sons started to fight with each other. They then decided to go to a wise man.  The wise man read the Will patiently. After giving it due thought, he brought one camel of his own and added it to the 17 camels. That increased the total to 18 camels.

Then he started reading the deceased father's Will:

·                     Half of 18 = 9. So he gave the eldest son 9 camels.

·                     1/3rd of 18 = 6. So he gave the middle son 6 camels.

·                     1/9th of 18 = 2. So he gave the youngest son 2 camels.

Now add this up: 9 + 6 + 2= 17. That leaves one camel, which the wise man took back.

Moral of the story: The attitude of negotiation and problem solving is to find the 18th camel, i.e. the common ground. Once a person is able to find the 18th camel the issue is resolved.

It is difficult at times. However, to reach a solution, the first step is to believe that there is a solution. If we think that there is no solution, we won't be able to reach any!

Break Bad Habits Now with Affirmations

by: Amy Twain

Affirmations can be really helpful to break bad habits if you are persistent about it.

In order for you to really break bad habits you must: 

a) be aware that the unconscious mind exists and 

b) learn how to manipulate its existence. 

And affirmations are great and powerful techniques in which, if used effectively, could bring out and address directly to your unconscious being. 

By uttering simple positive statements of the way you wish to live your life, then reiterating them out loud daily, you teach your unconscious thoughts in order to guide you to a better path to be reflected by your whole senses. 

You can use:

Situational statements: One of a kind affirmations which provide a definite aim in your life. Some examples are: 

a) "My heart and lungs are healthy." 

b) "I am very happy to be earning $120,000 per year." 

Timeless affirmations: These are statements which can be made use at any point in your life. 

a) "My body is healthy and strong." 

b) "I am so happy in every aspect of my life."

In speaking these words over and over daily, they penetrate into our subconscious mind till it becomes our reality. 

Moreover, the positive language of these "feel-good" affirming sentences blocks off negative thought processes, and in effect, fosters positive attitude. 

To fortify this belief, each day, every morning, when you get ready for the day, you can try to spare at least 10 minutes of your time in uttering these affirmations out loud. Simply listen to your own voice as you speak these and try to be detached and unemotional as you can. 

And lastly, it is very important that you must try to obstruct any negativity and concentrate 100% of your language and attention to the affirmations that you are saying out loud.

Self Development and Family Relationships

Self Development is something I feel I need to work on every day, perhaps you feel the same?  A few years ago I read The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Families written by Stephen R. Covey.  I found it exceptionally enlightening and uplifting.

Your relationship with your family, invariably impacts on your relationships with your friends and colleagues and everyone in between.  The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Families addresses the ever-present balancing act between your professional life and family life, which in today's society is very stressful.

A quotation taken from The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Families by Arun Gandhi, grandson of Mahatma Ghandhi and Founder/Director Gandhi Institute reads: "An outstanding book on principle-centered family relationships.  It couldn't have come at a more opportune time, when lack of family ties is destroying relationships and causing excessive violence."
