PREPARATION FOR PERFORMANCE - get inspired series; he who fails to plan is planning to fail

Look before you leap because prior proper preparation prevents poor performance. Don't bite off more than you can chew because nobody looks attractive spitting it back out. Since you've got the ability to feature in the future you picture, bear in mind that  it's not wise to feature in a future with an unclear picture



It's either you are remembered for the problems you created or for those which you solved. Identify your areas of strength and concentrate on those areas in which you can make a major contribution. Never forget that the best angle to solve a problem is the "TRY-angle".
Imitation is limitation! Be an original and not a photocopy. Don't live the life of another. Your significance isn't in your similarity to another but in your difference from another. Be normal and the crowd will accept you, but be deranged and they'll make you their leader. The moment you stop trying to become a better person is the moment you start becoming worse than you already are
Never doubt your potentiality. Learn from the butterfly; if it had doubts, it would have lived and died a crawling caterpillar. To live is the rarest thing in the world, most people exist; that is all. Life is a gift, take it. It is a puzzle, solve it. Life's simple, use it well. You've got only one life, so do all you can do while still alive

TODAY, THE PAST AND THE PRESENT

The Past is a nice place to visit, but never the best place to stay. Today is the result of your past while your future depends on today.The future is more important than the past since ending well is more important than starting well.

 

The winner in a race is judged by his/her end results. So many people don't live for today. They are completely consumed with the future and yet it's how we live today that creates our future. Everyday is an opportunity for a new life so live a new and better life daily. Your actions of today is what affects your future.Neville Goddard once said, "Do not waste one moment in regret, for to think feelingly of the mistakes of the past is to re-infect yourself." Jerry Spinelli once said, "Live today. Not yesterday. Not tomorrow. Just today. Inhabit your moments. Don't rent them out to tomorrow." The sages say, "Your life is in your hands."
The outcome of your future lies in your hands. What actually lies in your hands is the way you live today. In summary, the way you live today is in direct proportion to your life's future outcome. Living life to the fullest starts from living today to the fullest. Everyday brings a new day called a "TODAY". Tomorrow will be the new day called "TODAY". Since today will always be made available as a new day, then it means you'll never stop living life to the fullest. Take advantage of what you have while it lasts

WOMAN'S DUTY

A man was sick and tired of going to work everyday while his wife stayed at home, he wanted his wife to see what he goes through and so he prayed, "Dear Lord,I go to work all day and put in eight hours while my wife stays at home. I want her to know what I go through, so please switch her body to mine for a day, as I take hers. Amen!

 

So God in his own infinite wisdom granted the man's wish. The next morning, sure enough, the man awoke as a woman. He cooked breakfast, awakened the kids, set out their school clothes, feed them, pack their lunch, drove them to school, came back home, picked up the dry cleaning, took it to the cleaner, went to grocery shopping, drove home and put away the groceries, cleaned the cat's little box and bathed the dog. Then it was already 1:00pm. He quickly went to make the bed, do the laundry, swept and mop the floor. Ran to school to pick up the kids. Got into an argument with one of them. Set out milk and cookies and got the kids organised to do their home work. Then set the ironing board and watched TV, while he did the ironing. At 4.30pm, he began peeling potatoes and washed the vegetables for salad, breaded the pork chop and snapped fresh beans for supper. After supper, he cleaned the kitchen, ran the dishwasher, folded laundry, bathed the kids, put them to bed. He's exhausted, and though his daily chores wasn't over, he went to bed and was expected to make love which he managed to get through without complaints.

Early morning, he woke up and quickly knelt down by the bed and said;"LORD, I don't know what I was thinking, I was wrong to envy my wife being able to stay home all day. Please let's trade again. Amen! God answered, "Man, I'd like to answer your prayers but the time you made love, you got pregnant, so you have to wait for nine months to change. Respect the woman, she's the pillar of the house.

A GIRL WITH FOUR FRIENDS - So what has she really done wrong

There was this girl who had four boyfriends. She loved the 4th boyfriend the most and adorned him with rich robes and treated him with the finest of delicacies. She gave him nothing but the best. She also loved the 3rd boyfriend very much and was always showing him off to neighboring kingdoms.
However, she feared that one day he would leave her for another. She also loved her 2nd boyfriend. He was her confidant and was always kind, considerate and patient with her. Whenever this girl faced a problem, she could confide in him, and he would help her get through the difficult times. The girl's 1st boyfriend was a very loyal partner and had made great contributions in maintaining her wealth and kingdom. However, she feared that one day he would leave her for another. She also loved her 2nd boyfriend. He was her confidant and was always kind, considerate and patient with her.

 

Whenever this girl faced a problem, she could confide in him, and he would help her get through the difficult times. The girl's 1st boyfriend was a very loyal partner and had made great contributions in maintaining her wealth and kingdom. However, she did not love the first boyfriend. Although he loved her deeply, she hardly took notice of him!

One day, the girl fell ill and she knew her time was short. She thought of her luxurious life and wondered, I now have four boyfriends with me, but when I die, I'll be all alone. ' Thus, she asked the 4th boyfriend, 'I loved you the most, endowed you with the finest clothing and showered great care over you. Now that I'm dying, will you follow me and keep me company?' 'No way!', replied the 4th boyfriend, and he walked away without another word. His answer cut like a sharp knife right into her heart. The sad girl then asked the 3rd boyfriend, 'I loved you all my life. Now that I'm dying, will you follow me and keep me company?' 'No!', replied the 3rd boyfriend. 'Life is too good! When you die, I'm going to marry someone else!' Her heart sank and turned cold. She then asked the 2nd boyfriend, 'I have always turned to you for help and you've always been there for me. When I die, will you follow me and keep me company?' 'I'm sorry, I can't help you out this time!', replied the 2nd boyfriend. 'At the very most, I can only walk with you to your grave.' His answer struck her like a bolt of lightning, and the girl was devastated. Then a voice called out: 'I'll go with you. I'll follow you no matter where you go.' The girl looked up, and there was her first boyfriend. He was very skinny as he suffered from malnutrition and neglect. Greatly grieved, the girl said,'I should have taken much better care of you when I had the chance!'

In truth, you have 4 boyfriends in your lives: Your 4th boyfriend is your body. No matter how much time and effort you lavish in making it look good, it will leave you when you die. Your 3rd boyfriend is your possessions, status and wealth. When you die, it will all go to others. Your 2nd boyfriend is your family and friends. No matter how much they have been there for you, the furthest they can stay by you is up to the grave. And your 1st boyfriend is your Soul. Often neglected in pursuit of wealth, power and pleasures of the world. However, your Soul is the only thing that will follow you where ever you go. Cultivate, strengthen and cherish it now, for it is the only part of you that will follow you to the throne of God and continue with you throughout Eternity.

Thought for the day

Remember, when the world pushes you to your knees, you're in the perfect position to pray.

WHAT GOES AROUND REALLY COMES AROUND - Such is Life

A poor boy was in love with a rich man's daughter.One day the boy proposed to her and this was the girl's reply, "Hey! Listen, your monthly salary is my daily hand expenses. How can I be involved with you..?

 

How could you have thought of that at all? I can never love you; so just forget about me and get engaged to someone who's else at your level”

Somehow, the boy could not easily forget about her. (10) years later they stumbled on each other in a shopping mall. The lady again said,"Hey! You! How are you? Now I’m married and guess what ? My husband’s salary is $150,700 per month! Can you beat that? Not just that actually; he is also very smart you know"

The guy’s eyes got wet with tears on hearing those words from this same lady. A few seconds later, her husband came around and before the lady could say a word he started speaking with delight on seeing this same guy, “Sir, never knew  you’ll be here. I'm delighted about you meeting my wife” Then he turned and said to his wife, "This is my boss and I’m also one of those working on his $10 billion project I was telling you about! I've never seen a man so loving. Can you imagine the fact that he has remained unmarried on purpose. My boss once loved a lady but couldn’t win her heart. That’s why he has remained unmarried ever since. How lucky the lady would have been, if she had married my boss? These days, who would love someone that much?"

As he said all these to his wife, she only looked in total shock without uttering a single word. Such is life.

TOO LATE - One of those had I known stories

There was a guy who was tired of reading his girlfriend's messages like, "I love you.",  " I miss you.", " Have you eaten already?" One night, he received a message from her but didn't open to view it.
Instead, he went to sleep.
 

In the morning he was awakened by a call from her mum crying while telling him that his girlfriend was raped and killed that night when she sent the text message to him. He remembered the message and went to read it, "Baby, please come here and help me, there's someone following me on the street that's immediately off yours!"

FIXING THE WORLD

A father wanted to read the paper, but was being bothered by his little daughter, Susie. Finally, he took a sheet out of his magazine, on which was printed the map of the world. Tearing it into
small pieces, he gave it to Susie, and said, "Go into the other room and see if you can put this together."

 

After a few minutes, Susie returned and handed him the map correctly fitted together. The father was very surprised and asked how she had finished so quickly. "Oh", she said, "on the other side of the paper is a picture of Jesus. When I got Jesus in His place, then the world was fixed all right."
