Breaking Out of Long-Term Unemployment
Print Share By Larry Buhl, Monster Contributing Writer
Long-term unemployment can wreak havoc on a person's sense of self-worth and well-being. Worse, big resume gaps or current unemployment may also mark a job seeker as "damaged goods" and make a long job search even longer.

"I wouldn't say the bias [against hiring the unemployed] is pervasive, but too many hiring managers don't realize that the world has changed and that people have had a hard time finding jobs through no fault of their own," says Cheryl Ferguson, president of Recruiter's Studio and recruiter for Decision Toolbox.
Throw in the towel? Don't even think about it, career experts say. They suggest these practical steps to help even the most discouraged unemployed job seeker get motivated and beat the odds.
Check Your Mental Attitudes
It's a vicious circle: The longer you're out of work, the more anxious, insecure or depressed you may be -- and this can hurt your chances of landing a job. "Attitude is a crucial part of the job search, and unfortunately it's easy to be caught up in negative mental self-talk, especially with the media telling us how terrible everything is," says Helaine Z. Harris, a Los Angeles-based psychotherapist.
If anxiety or depression is significant, don't be afraid to seek counseling. If that's not an option, simple calming breaths and even meditation can be effective, Harris says. "It's essential to relax and clear the mind, so you'll know the right actions to take and be able to magnetize the opportunities you want." Connecting with nurturing friends and sharing your feelings about being unemployed can also help if you're feeling isolated.
Move Your Body
There's documented evidence that physical exercise improves mental health and reduces anxiety. And a gym regimen or even daily walks around the neighborhood can help your job search by adding structure to your day. "Regular exercise creates more self-discipline and shows that you can do hard things, which makes it easier to handle tasks like making difficult phone calls," says Penelope Trunk, creator of the social network site Brazen Careerist.
Step Away from the Computer
Job boards and social networking sites such as Twitter can be helpful, but they are not the only ways to connect. And relying on them can perpetuate the unemployment "hermit" trap. "If you've been out of circulation for a while, you have to remind people you're still around," Ferguson says. "You're also likely to be a little rusty in networking, so it's important to get out once or twice a week at least for a face-to-face meeting, lunch or networking event."
Re-Examine Employment Strategies and Tactics
With a clearer mind, an energized body and a fuller social calendar, you can better gauge the effectiveness of your search. Career coach and author Dr. Marty Nemko urges unemployed job hunters not to assume they've been doing everything right.
"Are you really spending 30 hours a week job searching? Do you have a job search buddy, so you can be accountable to each other? Are you active in your professional association, in-person and online? After an interview, have you sent a proposal that explains what you'd do for the employer? Have you followed up relentlessly with warm leads? If you've done all of those things and still aren't getting a job, you probably need to change your job target to a more in-demand job title or a lower-level job," Nemko says.
Fill the Resume Gap
A resume should be a history of things you've accomplished, not necessarily a chronology of things you've been paid for, according to Trunk. With that philosophy, there's no reason to have a gap in your resume. "There are very few professions where you have to be on the payroll in order to do the work," Trunk says. "If you're a programmer, write a patch on your own time. If you're a shoe designer, design your own shoes. Just do it. You'll have something to show on the resume, and you'll be taking back your power."
Don't Be Defensive About Unemployment
You've been out of work for a while. So what? So have many of the other candidates. "Don't hide the fact you've been unemployed," says John M. McKee, job coach and founder of BussinessSuccessCoach.net. "People won't hire others who are prickly."
McKee adds that you might need to stop saying the word "unemployed" if the word is getting in your way. Trunk agrees. "When someone asks what you're doing now, don't say you're out of work, because you're not," she says. "You're just not getting paid. Talk about the projects you've done and what you're learning, and then mention, 'I'm looking for a paid position like this.'"

Do you share deep with kingdom soul sisters or shallow?
If we always suppress and accumulate all the unhealthy emotion and not sharing out with the right community , is very easy for us to harden our heart.
God helo me, and give me some sisters that I can really share and pr out my feelings for my daily life, that we can share with each others comfortabily and use your words to encourage each others to gain comfort, love , enrouragement with each others . God when we love each other you are in between us , with us . Because God you are Love.In Jesus name I pray Amen!

EmailPrint.If you've been going to the gym regularly and not seeing great results, it may be because you're unknowingly mangling your moves (no offense). The truth is, most people make tiny but key errors in their techniques, and these mistakes prevent them from building muscle and burning more calories. We selected four basic moves that have a tendency to trip women up, and asked top trainers for form fixes. Apply their tips to upgrade your routine and your body.
LUNGES: WHAT YOU DO WRONG
You lean forward, causing your front heel to rise.
LUNGES: FIX YOUR FORM
1. "Narrow your starting stance," says Gray Cook, author of Athletic Body in Balance. The closer your feet are, the harder your core has to work to stabilize your body.
2. "As you do the lunge, focus on moving your torso only up and down, not pushing it forward," says Craig Rasmussen, a fitness coach at Results Fitness in Santa Clarita, California. This keeps your weight balanced evenly through your front foot, allowing you to press into the floor with your heel, which tones more lower-body muscle.
Quick Tip, Lunges: Drop your back knee straight down to the floor.

SQUATS: WHAT YOU DO WRONG
You start the movement by bending your knees.
SQUATS: HOW TO FIX YOUR FORM
1. As you squat, imagine you're sitting down into a chair, rather than forward on top of your knees. Push your hips back first instead of beginning by bending your knees, which puts more stress on your joints, says Dan John, a strength coach in Burlingame, California.
2. Women tend to lean forward on their toes, but they should sit back into their heels. Try this fix: Pretend that you're standing on a paper towel, says Charlie Weingroff, lead physical therapist for the U.S. Marine Corps Special Operations Command at Camp Lejeune, North Carolina. "Then imagine trying to rip the towel apart by pressing your feet onto the floor and outward." This activates your glutes, which helps you use heavier weights and break through plateaus.
Quick Tip, Squats: As you stand, think about pushing the floor away from your body, rather than lifting your body.

STRAIGHT-LEG DEADLIFTS: WHAT YOU DO WRONG
You round your lower back as you bend over.
STRAIGHT-LEG DEADLIFTS: HOW TO FIX YOUR FORM
1. "When bending down, act as if you are holding a tray of drinks and need to close the door behind you with your backside," says Alwyn Cosgrove, co-owner of Results Fitness. This helps you push your hips back instead of rounding your lower back--a form blunder that puts you at risk for back problems.
2. It's easy to put too much space between the weight and your body as you move up and down. Pretend you're shaving your legs with the bar or dumbbells, suggests Kaitlyn Weiss, a certified strength and conditioning specialist in Southern California. The farther the weights are from your body, the more strain on your back, which limits the work of your hamstrings and glutes.
Quick Tip, Straight-Leg Deadlifts: As you return to standing, squeeze your glutes. You'll engage your butt rather than strain your lower back.

ROWS AND PULLUPS: WHAT YOU DO WRONG
You ignore the muscles that draw back your shoulder blades.
ROWS AND PULLUPS: HOW TO FIX YOUR FORM
1. "Before you start the exercise, create as much space as you can between your ears and shoulders," says Rasmussen. Pull your shoulder blades down and back, which will ensure you work the intended middle- and upper-back muscles.
2. "As you row the weights, stick out your chest," says Mike Boyle, owner of Mike Boyle Strength and Conditioning in Woburn, Massachusetts. This allows you to better retract your shoulder blades, which will lead to better results.
3. "Imagine an orange between your shoulder blades," says Nick Grantham, owner of Smart Fitness in the U.K. "As you pull the weights or your body up, 'squeeze the juice out of it' by bringing your shoulder blades together."
Quick Tip, Rows and Pullups: Using an overhand grip forces your rhomboids (upper-back muscles) to work harder.

Saying I LOVE YOU
http://hubpages.com/hub/Romantic-Love-Quotes-for-Valentines-Day
I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where.
I love you simply, without problems or pride:
I love you in this way because I do not know any other way of loving but this,
in which there is no I or you,
so intimate that your hand upon my chest is my hand,
so intimate that when I fall asleep your eyes close."
— Pablo Neruda (100 Love Sonnets: Cien sonetos de amor)
"I have found the paradox,
that if you love until it hurts,
there can be no more hurt,
only more love."
— Mother Teresa
"I love you.
I am who I am because of you.
You are every reason,
every hope,
and every dream I've ever had,
and no matter what happens to us in the future,
every day we are together is the greatest day of my life.
I will always be yours. "
— Nicholas Sparks (The Notebook)

"You are, and always have been, my dream." — Nicholas Sparks (The Notebook)
Only You
There are 12 Months in a year.
4 weeks in a month.
7 days in a week.
24 Hrs in a day.
But there's only one you in a life time
“I'm not finished loving you.” ~ Grey's Anatomy
" Only once in your life, I truly believe, you find someone who can completely turn your world around. You tell them things that you’ve never shared with another soul and they absorb everything you say and actually want to hear more. You share hopes for the future, dreams that will never come true, goals that were never achieved and the many disappointments life has thrown at you. When something wonderful happens, you can’t wait to tell them about it, knowing they will share in your excitement. They are not embarrassed to cry with you when you are hurting or laugh with you when you make a fool of yourself. Never do they hurt your feelings or make you feel like you are not good enough, but rather they build you up and show you the things about yourself that make you special and even beautiful. There is never any pressure, jealousy or competition but only a quiet calmness when they are around. You can be yourself and not worry about what they will think of you because they love you for who you are. The things that seem insignificant to most people such as a note, song 'or walk become invaluable treasures kept safe in your heart to cherish forever. Memories of your childhood come back and are so clear and vivid it’s like being young again. Colours seem brighter and more brilliant. Laughter seems part of daily life where before it was infrequent or didn’t exist at all. A phone call or two during the day helps to get you through a long day’s work and always brings a smile to your face. In their presence, there’s no need for continuous conversation, but you find you’re quite content in just having them nearby. Things that never interested you before become fascinating because you know they are important to this person who is so special to you. You think of this person on every occasion and in everything you do. Simple things bring them to mind like a pale blue sky, gentle wind or even a storm cloud on the horizon. You open your heart knowing that there’s a chance it may be broken one day and in opening your heart, you experience a love and joy that you never dreamed possible. You find that being vulnerable is the only way to allow your heart to feel true pleasure that’s so real it scares you. You find strength in knowing you have a true friend and possibly a soul mate who will remain loyal to the end. Life seems completely different, exciting and worthwhile. Your only hope and security is in knowing that they are a part of your life."
— Bob Marley
"You are the answer to every prayer I've offered. You are a song, a dream, a whisper, and I don't know how I could have lived without you for as long as I have."

The Reasons I Love You-by Carrie Sue
The Reasons I Love You
by Carrie Sue
I love you because you make me happy
I love you because you make me feel safe and secure
I love your smile
I love the way you say my name
I love the look in your eyes when you tell me you love me
And how you laugh at me when I do something stupid, when others would put
me down.
I love the fact that when I'm around you I can be myself and not worry
about what you may think of me, because I know you love me for who I am.
No matter what my faults may be.
I love being able to wake up with you by my side... It makes my days
better
At night I love watching you sleep, hearing you take each breath, and
feeling your heart beat with the palm of my hand... reality hits that you
are not a dream YOU ARE MINE.
I love the way you wrap your arms around me and hold me really tight, like
there is no tomorrow
And I love the way I feel when your lips barely touch mine for a kiss, the
love and emotions that go through me at that moment are unexplainable.
I love your laugh
I love hearing your voice
I love that you get along with my family and friend, no matter how much
you dislike them, or who they are.
And hearing you tell me your stories, you could tell them to me a thousand
times, and I will never get tired of them, because they are a part of you.
But the main reason I love you is because.....
You are you!
by Carrie Sue
I love you because you make me happy
I love you because you make me feel safe and secure
I love your smile
I love the way you say my name
I love the look in your eyes when you tell me you love me
And how you laugh at me when I do something stupid, when others would put
me down.
I love the fact that when I'm around you I can be myself and not worry
about what you may think of me, because I know you love me for who I am.
No matter what my faults may be.
I love being able to wake up with you by my side... It makes my days
better
At night I love watching you sleep, hearing you take each breath, and
feeling your heart beat with the palm of my hand... reality hits that you
are not a dream YOU ARE MINE.
I love the way you wrap your arms around me and hold me really tight, like
there is no tomorrow
And I love the way I feel when your lips barely touch mine for a kiss, the
love and emotions that go through me at that moment are unexplainable.
I love your laugh
I love hearing your voice
I love that you get along with my family and friend, no matter how much
you dislike them, or who they are.
And hearing you tell me your stories, you could tell them to me a thousand
times, and I will never get tired of them, because they are a part of you.
But the main reason I love you is because.....
You are you!

Overspending: 4 Lies That Lead to Debt Problems
by Dan Kadlec
Monday, May 9, 2011

Understanding financial concepts like credit and budgets is critical to long-term success with money. But equally important, it seems, is recognizing (and controlling) the impulses that lead you to buy things you don't need.
People with debt problems tend to share a common costly trait: they have unrealistic expectations for how material things will make their life better. That is the chief finding of a new study, Materialism, Transformation Expectations, and Spending: Implications for Credit Use by Marsha Richins and Myron Watkins, marketing professors at the University of Missouri.
The authors found that people who wind up deep in debt often got there because they expected "unreasonable degrees of change in their lives from their purchases." The authors also concluded "these beliefs are fallacious for the most part, but nonetheless can be powerful motivators for people to spend."
Studies like this complicate what has become a global quest to raise personal financial literacy through programs in schools and communities and at work. We need to do more than simply lay out the nuts and bolts of saving and investing. We also must examine the psychology of why we buy all the stuff we buy. It's not a bad idea to ponder your own behavior in this regard. The study identifies four types of unrealistic expectations common to overspenders. These expectations are much less evident in folks who do not have debt problems. Here, then, are four lies that people tell themselves when buying things they don't need:
• It'll make me a better person: Many overspenders believe a purchase will literally change them into a better person. One woman in the study was certain that cosmetic dental surgery would improve her looks and quickly render her more confident and successful.
• People will like me more: Overspenders may believe that a purchase will make it easier for them to connect with others. One woman in the study wanted to buy a house so that she could entertain and be more social, and thus find more friends.
• I'll be more fun: Some believe that a purchase will make them more fun and fulfilled. A man in the study wanted a mountain bike because then, he figured, he'd become more adventuresome and interesting.
• It'll make me more effective: The typical overspender believes that a purchase will make them better at a certain pursuit. Several in the study said that a new car would make them more independent and self-reliant.
See the pattern? Heavy users of credit have a greater tendency to believe that the product makes the person. Which, of course, is backwards. A cyclist may need a new bike; a new bike does not make a cyclist. You can't buy personal transformation in a store.
Sure, whiter teeth may give you a confidence boost and a new house might make you more social — for a while. But it won't last if that's not who you really are. It's far more likely that the guy with the new bike will never take it out of his garage than turn it into a passion.
You know people like that, right? They have tons of unused stuff in the attic, and they may still be paying for much of it. The more you believe that happiness is for sale the more likely you are to end up with debts you cannot repay.

Girls wear !! warn
Girl only wear sexy infront of your husband !~
lil that will stumble people also cannot; only can wear infront of husband.
lil that will stumble people also cannot; only can wear infront of husband.
That's THE Direction - everything you do is for GOD
I always find that I have hard time to reach out to people sometime ; but when you think you speak more people is for GOD, have genuine interest in other people life ,try to love them care about their life, exchange life experience, as when more comfortable with each other would easy to share gospel, conviction, faith / testimony.
And is also apply to other thing in life, when you lost , just think what you do will draw people more towards GOD , then do it.
Is not easy, you might need to shame yourself fist to admit what you done is faith , put down your ' face '; when you try to ' save it' you lost more. You need to self deny , your own selfish desire, because we are sinner, what come from us inside what we want is not good to be a direction to act. Only direction for GOD is teh best choice.
And once I read this scripture , basically the meaning is like addict to do good deed; just like when you addict to repeat the sin. Instead of repeat worng, think, we fall for addict and can't stop to do good thing.
My dear Heavenly Father, change my heart to love you and thing that you like, as whatever i do from heart, you will please . It is the WAY of life.
In Jesus name I pray. Amen.

Two Words ( from Daily Bread)
Our Daily Bread
Our Daily Bread Radio is hosted by Les LambornRead: James 4:7-10
Submit to God. —James 4:7
Bible in a year:
1 Kings 16-18; Luke 22:47-71In the annals of US advertising history, one of the most efficient slogans ever is the California milk producers’ two-word question, “Got milk?” With that phrase, the group captured almost everyone’s attention. In surveys, the slogan was recognized by more than 90 percent of the people polled.
If “Got milk?” is so good at reminding people to drink “cow juice,” perhaps we can create some two-word slogans to remind ourselves to live more godly lives. Let’s turn to James 4 and try it. This passage gives four specific guidelines.
1. Give in! Verse 7 tells us to submit to God. Our sovereign God loves us, so why not let Him run the show? Submission helps us resist the devil. 2. Get close! Verse 8 reminds us of the value of drawing near to God. It’s up to us to close the gap between us and God. 3. Clean up! Verse 8 also reminds us to make sure our hearts are clean. That happens through confessing our sins to God. 4. Get down! James says we need to be humble before God (v.10). That includes viewing our sin as something to weep over.
Give in! Get close! Clean up! Get down! These pairs of words may not look as good on a T-shirt as “Got milk?” But they sure will look good on us.
Lord, help me live a godly life
Of faith and love and purity
So those who watch my life will see
Reflections of Your work in me. —Sper
The most powerful testimony is a godly life.

In every second , don't even fil your mind with any negative bad though
Friday, April 22, 2011He Really Does Care for You - Kenneth Copeland MInistries daily devotional 22 April Friday
Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you
– 1 Peter 5:7
Do you know what it's like to face a problem so big it seems downright irresponsible not to worry about it? There may not be a thing you can do about it, but you feel like you need to at least be concerned. After all, somebody needs to! And no one else seems to be volunteering for the job.
I remember one time in particular I felt exactly that way. I was holding a series of meetings in Ruston, Louisiana. I had just discovered our budget was $800 short--and in those days, $800 might as well have been 9 million! The devil was attacking my mind, telling me that no one cared about me or my ministry, telling me that I was facing this problem alone.
But instead of giving in to those thoughts, I got my Bible and turned to every scripture in the Word of God that guaranteed me my needs were met. Then I rolled the care of those expenses over on God. I promised God that with the Holy Spirit as my Helper, I would not touch that problem with my thought life again.
That wasn't an easy promise to keep. I wanted to worry so badly! I went into the courtyard of the Motel where I was staying and walked around the swimming pool. Every time I thought about the problem, I would say out loud, "No, I have rolled the care of that over on the Lord. I will not think about it. The budget is met."
After a while, a man drove up in the driveway and began to honk his horn. I tried to ignore him because I don't like to be interrupted when I'm praying, but he stuck his head out of the window and shouted, "Come here!" He said it with such authority that I obeyed.
He said to me, "Brother Copeland, I'm sorry to disturb you, but I'm committed to another obligation and will be late for the meeting tonight. I was afraid I would miss the offering." Then he handed me a check. When I went back to my room and looked at that check, I found it was for $500. Coupled with the offering in the service that night, it totaled the exact amount I needed to meet that budget.
Would you like to have people chasing you down to meet your needs? Then next time you're facing a problem, give it to God. Let Him be the one who's concerned about it. He's volunteered for the job and you can trust Him to do it well. After all, He really does care for you.

Jesus Redeems Us With Outstretched Arms - Rick Warren Ministries daily devotional 21 April Thursday
Taking bread, he blessed it, broke it, and gave it to them, saying, “This is my body, given for you. Eat it in my memory.” He did the same with the cup after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant written in my blood, blood poured out for you.” Luke 22:19-20 (Msg)
"The blood on the door posts in Egypt -- now it's fulfilled in Jesus who sacrificed his life for us, who poured out his blood to set us free from our sin and guilt."
The third cup in the Passover meal is the cup of redemption. Redemption means to buy somebody's freedom. Jesus bought your freedom with his life on the cross. At the Last Supper, which was a Passover meal, Jesus said, “This third cup, I want to give it new meaning. This is the promise of a new covenant between you and God, a new promise of freedom that comes through my blood.”
He was saying, “I'm going to go to a cross and my life blood is going to be poured out for you.” He was saying, “I want you to take this cup of redemption and see it from now on as a representation of the fact that I'm pouring out my blood for you. And I want you, together, to take this and drink this and to remember me.”
Jesus is the fulfillment of everything in the Passover meal. He’s the bread of life. He is God's promise in our lives. The blood on the door posts in Egypt -- now it's fulfilled in Jesus who sacrificed his life for us, who poured out his blood to set us free from our sin and guilt. The Bible says, “For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus our Lord.” (Romans 6:23 NLT)
Jesus sets us free from ourselves; he sets us free from our fears; and he sets us free from our sin and our guilt. This is why we celebrate Easter!

Sunday is Coming - Joel Osteen Ministries daily devotional 21 April Thursday
"For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures"
(1 Corinthians 15:3-4, NIV
TODAY’S WORD from Joel and Victoria
As we celebrate the resurrection of Christ, I think about when they crucified Jesus. On that Friday, it was the darkest, most painful, discouraging day of His life. In fact, it was so bad that He sweat drops of blood earlier. It looked as if His enemies had gotten the best of Him. But God had other plans. They put Him in the grave on Friday, celebrating their victory, but Sunday morning was a different story. The grave could not hold Him! Death couldn't contain Him! The forces of darkness couldn't stop Him! On the third day, He came out of the grave, and He said, "I was dead, but now I am alive forevermore!"
One principle that the resurrection teaches us is that God will always finish what He started. No matter how dark it looks, no matter how long it's been, no matter how many people are trying to push you down; if you will stay in faith, God will always take you from Friday to Sunday. He will always complete what He started in you!
A PRAYER FOR TODAY
Father God, thank You for completing what You started in my life. I trust that no matter how dark things may seem, You are my shining light of hope. I thank You for working behind the scenes to carry me through to the place of victory in every area of my life! In Jesus' Name.Amen.

Focus to the Final Destiny Point
On Sunday ( 17 April, 2011) , has dated with Brother Nu from Thai. He told me a story inspire me to think about something great. He say he had an adventure experience , when a US brother come visited them . 3 of them dedided to go to a Keanu around the Krabi island, it will take 5 days for them to reach the destination, so they have to bring food, and stop at some ialsand to camping sleep.
He told me to avoid to sway away from the destination from wave. You must set a detination point at an island ; and also mark a point in your Keanu to align with the destination. It is very important, because once you lost track a bit, it might pro-long your distance more like 10 km . So it imporatnt everytime, you make sure tour keanu point is back to the right destination point, everytime also need to align, because is very wavy.
It let me think about our life is like that. Our final destination is to Heaven to our GOD; the wave is liek Satan, everytime when we get sway away abit, we must know to stand firm and straighthen it back to the right destinatiuon point.
So it help me to think about my future now, my job seeking , my on going battle of my worng mind-set, my attitude towards my job and my life, I must decided and focus on something, start from one point first, or else, I'm going no where . Thank GOD 19Apr 2011
On Sunday ( 10 April, 2011) evening I also went to a date with an very awesome Brother, who decided to back to his hometown Kuantan to start up a Church there. He face many challenge , but he always still need to struggle back to the right track. I admire he keep his promise to GOD, because of his mum sick, he has promise GOD that if his mum can get better, he will go back to Kuantan to preach.
And also, when you are in a small Church setting, a developing Church, everything every people , you cannot run away, everytime is like a challenge class, you learn new thing and have breakthrough have that homework, you earn and learned new experience; it might require you to learn new language , to learn to be patient, to learn to handle difficult people,...... but you must oversome.
So I think God is fair, although our Branch in KL have a of Brothers Sisters; you can enjoy the big group setting; but because of that,we are very easy to take each other for granted. Because we have too much choice; when this person, we feel like difficulty to connect with, we choose other, instead to put some effort to work on it.
It so parrallel like my job situation right now. KL got so much job opportunity, people always can jump around.
God help me to have to wisdom, patient, persevere to handle and learn to have breakthrough when you try to mold our character, instead of choose to run away to go easy way. Help me to see beyong, becuase I know I can never run away, everytime a chance, if I choose to run, it will only make it worst and pro long it, and wasting my time and chance to get closer to you and train to love you more and close to my destination more only.
God please help me, in JESUS name I pray.
Amen
He told me to avoid to sway away from the destination from wave. You must set a detination point at an island ; and also mark a point in your Keanu to align with the destination. It is very important, because once you lost track a bit, it might pro-long your distance more like 10 km . So it imporatnt everytime, you make sure tour keanu point is back to the right destination point, everytime also need to align, because is very wavy.

Today must be better than yesterday !
I love this DJ- call Chen Fong. What he said is always so mature and seem like he have gone through a lot of life expereince but he have to right attitude to face it evertitne. What he say is always right to the point- right point.
Yesteday night as usual, he ;s in his program which to listen to people difficulty and give advise. He is so sharp. This laday said she already age of 40 and just broke off with his boyfriend . She's very sad, and even willing to offer to be the 3rd party once in a while, even she his ex-bf got a new girl.
And Cheng Fong ask her , what 's her job, she said clerk. Just a average clear. From there Chen Fong directly know what's the root problem, she putting herself so low to do stupid offer. Because she got not achievement in her life and job. When she found someone, she just solely put all the focus on a guy ; and also without reliaze whether she put it on to the right person to start also.
Cheng Fong ask her try to expand and pick on something she's good at , and put focus to build that up. He said must tell yourself :" everyday, today I must be better than yesterday, this year I must be better than last year. Year End I must be do better than Early year.
This struck me I think I am like that, everyday work is just a rotine, without passion and love, and didn;t even strife to climb higher daily. I feel so ashsme, to my heavenly FATHER and my phyrical father. As a dicisple, is our job to do it better everyday, to imnprove daily to glorify our FATHER name in everywhere; to be a inspiration and light and salt of this world. GOD like us to be contantly improving changes to be a better person, better attitude to work daily.
God, I tell myself, evryday I have to do it better than yesterday; GOd help me to determine to able to enter in a field that you have give me the talents at, so I can expand the gift you have give , and make it big to glorify you, help me to be perservere and determination God.
Thank you very much GOD for all your grace, and always teaching and let me listen to lesson I should know.
God I pray that everyone have the same goal to be a complete person to enter YOUR HEAVEN GATE.
In JESUS name I pray AMEN.
GOD you are almighty , you are love, you love us so much that you wnat us to be the best, and help us to be the best . You are our HEAVENLLY FATHER .

Daily Strugge or Bless ?
One thing in my mind that suddenly so inspire me is everyday we have our own challenge and difficulty . After I give somethough from inspiration of GOD words and Brothers & Sisters' input. I felt that actually the daily challenge is a gift , is a bless that God give us daily to make us grow.
Just like a 2 years old children, a parents would not give the baby candy everyday to make the child grow ( in another way of looking it , the world is teaching us to feed ourselve "candy" daily to persue our own comfort daily ) ; but instead parents will give the baby different challenge everyday to help baby grow. Maybe these period of time parents teach him/her how to hold spoon to eat, or how to walk. Eventhough the baby will fall, but the parents hold the baby hand to help the baby learn to walk. Just like God would never let go our hand when we learn to walk . And we must daily practice it until we master the walk . Also we must remember to hold GOD hand back tightly when we learn to walk in our journey; otherwise is very easy for us to sway away from the righteous path.
Is funny to look at that; now I just realize why I like to write my English in whatever way I want , with lots typo, with lot's of grammar mistake and without even have a proper sentence of structure is because I indulge myself to be continue to be wrong, without wanted to improve .I just give in to do whatever I wanted to without try to do the best and try to persue what is right.
Just like the most teenage now they just do whatever they like, look at the children or even the adult now ( I have seen some of the US Uni student assigment writing) , how they "write article" is just like me. Simply write a article without the proper grammar , correct structure of sentence ; without being considerate and care about others, whether People can understand the their writing.
These all is because we do not wanted to put much effort on anything .We just emphasis on our own convenient and self comfort, which is self focus and self centre . Nowadays many children easily get the gadgets they want ( i.g latest handphone /game in young age). What make them have wrong attitude towards their study and homework. I think one of the reason is because that is what the society teach them , allow them to be pamper into the way it is. They don't need to put much effort to get anything they wanted to.
Is the environment that this world create for them , what will we become under this world trend; constantly just think about to keep feeding our own desire and flesh, and without thinking to persue something everlasting only chase after the temperorily worldly thing that will decay.
God help us to persue the everlasting life , the truth , your ultimate destination that worth persue after, which is your everlasting love. In Jesus name Amen !

What stop you sin - ask What if GOD sitting beside you ?
What stop you sin - ask What if GOD sitting beside you , will you still do it ?
If you sin and you ask for repentance , then you sin again , is like dog throw up and eat what it vomit, and like pig after clean and go inside the mud again.

How to reach goal and get a life
When you have no goal, and do not take your goal seriously, you just want a easy way out of life, then this you what you sow, and you will stop growing too be just a grass or buches. Even if you have a dream to become a big tree.
Train yoruself to be not going easy to yourself , and not feeling too comfy and go easy to yourslef ,when you need to step further, by fisning a progressive step, then you must do it. Tale your plan and goal seriously , never say no and proscratinate, only then you can see result and progress.

Hannah Chong- That's only 2 way, either you dwell in your problem or find a way out
That's only 2 way, either you continue to indulge in your emo and be sad, and depress about your problem. Or see it as aa exercise , homework, challenge that you learn to find way to overcome and grow.
God is so great that, he always give us challenge homework to let us grow .
Thank God ,and help us to be more wisdom, and solution focus. To become a better son & daughter you like. In Jesus name Amen.

7 Questions To Finding Your True Passion
http://www.ineedmotivation.com/blog/2008/04/7-questions-to-finding-your-true-passion/
According to a recent survey, about 75% of the population do not know what their true passion is. Clearly, almost everyone seems to not be doing what they were meant to do. This is an eye-opener because doing what we really love is absolutely necessary if we want to be fully happy. Perhaps this is why there is so much unhappiness going on in our society, people just aren’t doing what they are here on Earth for. Finding your true passion isn’t as simple as it may seem. For some, yes it does come naturally, but most of the time, you have to ask yourself some questions to pinpoint exactly what you were born to do. Here are my 7 questions that can guide you to finding your ultimate passion:
What puts a smile on your face?
Is there a particular event, a particular topic that makes your whole face just lighten up? Whatever it is that makes you smile, and makes you happy whenever you encounter it, this is a sign of something you are passionate about. I truly believe that happiness and passion walk hand in hand. Both require each other. So following what makes you truly happy is a wonderful way to figuring out what you were put on Earth for. Think about something that you do or that perhaps you used to do that brings total peace to you when you do it. Peace is happiness, and happiness is passion.
What do you find easy?
Usually, what we find easy for us to do, will be related to what we are passionate about. It’s very hard to hate something that is very easy for us! For example, let’s say you are naturally good at playing the piano, you will find the activity easy, and this ease makes it much more fun for you. Fun leads to happiness and happiness is synonymous with passion So assess everything that you do, whatever it is that you find really easy and fun, this may very well be your passion. And don’t think that anything is off limits or silly. Some people have taken their passion for skateboarding, drawing, or collecting to full fledged careers. Remember this, you can make a career out of anything you are passionate about.
What sparks your creativity?
One of my passions growing up was hockey. It’s not too surprising, being Canadian and all But I remember playing for hours and hours, and always coming up with different plays, and different methods to score goals. I was always full of creativity when playing hockey. Later in life, I developed similar creativity in business. Think about something in your life where you seem to always expand its horizon, always coming up with new, fun, and exciting ideas relating to that subject. Whatever makes you creative, is probably something that you are very passionate about.
What would you do for free?
In this society, we are ruled by the almighty dollar. That’s the way the system works, and that’s the game we have to play. The problem is, this leads many people to seek making money first, instead of what makes them happy. I have read countless number of stories about stock brokers and doctors for example, leaving their high paying positions to follow what they really love. There is a reason for that. I truly believe that if you follow what you are passionate about without thinking about if it will make you rich or not, you will end up being successful. Doing what you have a passion for brings out your best, and this leads to greatness. Greatness breezes to success. Do you think that the most successful people in the world got to where they are because they wanted to get rich? Absolutely not, they did what they were so passionate about, and their immense success was just a byproduct of their dedication. So think about something that you would just love to do, even if you were not getting paid. Think about something that you look forward to do, something that you wish you could do all the time.
What do you like to talk about?
The topics of conversation we have can definitely tell what we are interested in, and this is a good way to find out what we really enjoy in life. Most of the time, we aren’t totally aware of this. This is why, a very good way to figure this out properly, is to ask your friends. Ask them what they believe you like to talk about the most. Ask them what topic makes your eyes brighten up, and changes your entire behavior. I can guarantee you that some of their answers will be surprising to you. Some of these things weren’t that clear to you, but your friends can see the reaction on your face that you can’t see yourself. Try it out, it’s a very insightful exercise, and one that can direct you closer to figuring out your passion.
What makes you unafraid of failure?
When we do what we are passionate about, we have total confidence in our abilities. This makes us not worry about failing, because in our mind, how can we fail when we do what we love? Doing what you love is a success in and of itself, so failure is like an impossibility. Think of something that you just do or want to do, no matter what. Something that you do not have second thoughts about. Think about something that you feel you must do and that failure is not even a concern of yours, because the mere act of doing it is like the journey and the destination all wrapped up in one. This may very well be your true passion.
What would you regret not having tried?
We all have these dreams, and somehow, life pushes us in another direction, and next thing we know, we are far from those dreams we used to have. If you were at the end of your life, what would you regret not having pursued? What would you have liked to do, that you didn’t get a chance to? Think about what that might be. Whatever it is that you may experience regret now or later on for not having tried, this is a good chance to be your true passion. There is nothing worse than arriving at the end of the journey and having regret. This is why finding your passion, and following it is so important. Live your life so that you do not have regrets.

Think about something that you do or that perhaps you used to do that brings total peace to you when you do it. Peace is happiness, and happiness is passion.
What do you find easy?
Usually, what we find easy for us to do, will be related to what we are passionate about. It’s very hard to hate something that is very easy for us! For example, let’s say you are naturally good at playing the piano, you will find the activity easy, and this ease makes it much more fun for you. Fun leads to happiness and happiness is synonymous with passion So assess everything that you do, whatever it is that you find really easy and fun, this may very well be your passion. And don’t think that anything is off limits or silly. Some people have taken their passion for skateboarding, drawing, or collecting to full fledged careers. Remember this, you can make a career out of anything you are passionate about.
What sparks your creativity?
One of my passions growing up was hockey. It’s not too surprising, being Canadian and all But I remember playing for hours and hours, and always coming up with different plays, and different methods to score goals. I was always full of creativity when playing hockey. Later in life, I developed similar creativity in business. Think about something in your life where you seem to always expand its horizon, always coming up with new, fun, and exciting ideas relating to that subject. Whatever makes you creative, is probably something that you are very passionate about.
What would you do for free?
In this society, we are ruled by the almighty dollar. That’s the way the system works, and that’s the game we have to play. The problem is, this leads many people to seek making money first, instead of what makes them happy. I have read countless number of stories about stock brokers and doctors for example, leaving their high paying positions to follow what they really love. There is a reason for that. I truly believe that if you follow what you are passionate about without thinking about if it will make you rich or not, you will end up being successful. Doing what you have a passion for brings out your best, and this leads to greatness. Greatness breezes to success. Do you think that the most successful people in the world got to where they are because they wanted to get rich? Absolutely not, they did what they were so passionate about, and their immense success was just a byproduct of their dedication. So think about something that you would just love to do, even if you were not getting paid. Think about something that you look forward to do, something that you wish you could do all the time.
What do you like to talk about?
The topics of conversation we have can definitely tell what we are interested in, and this is a good way to find out what we really enjoy in life. Most of the time, we aren’t totally aware of this. This is why, a very good way to figure this out properly, is to ask your friends. Ask them what they believe you like to talk about the most. Ask them what topic makes your eyes brighten up, and changes your entire behavior. I can guarantee you that some of their answers will be surprising to you. Some of these things weren’t that clear to you, but your friends can see the reaction on your face that you can’t see yourself. Try it out, it’s a very insightful exercise, and one that can direct you closer to figuring out your passion.
What makes you unafraid of failure?
When we do what we are passionate about, we have total confidence in our abilities. This makes us not worry about failing, because in our mind, how can we fail when we do what we love? Doing what you love is a success in and of itself, so failure is like an impossibility. Think of something that you just do or want to do, no matter what. Something that you do not have second thoughts about. Think about something that you feel you must do and that failure is not even a concern of yours, because the mere act of doing it is like the journey and the destination all wrapped up in one. This may very well be your true passion.
What would you regret not having tried?
We all have these dreams, and somehow, life pushes us in another direction, and next thing we know, we are far from those dreams we used to have. If you were at the end of your life, what would you regret not having pursued? What would you have liked to do, that you didn’t get a chance to? Think about what that might be. Whatever it is that you may experience regret now or later on for not having tried, this is a good chance to be your true passion. There is nothing worse than arriving at the end of the journey and having regret. This is why finding your passion, and following it is so important. Live your life so that you do not have regrets.

“Always say “yes” to the present moment. What could be more futile, more insane, than to create inner resistance to what already is? what could be more insane than to oppose life itself, which is now and always now? Surrender to what is. Say “yes” to life — and see how life suddenly starts working for you rather than against you.”
This quote is from the post 20 Spiritual Quotes From Eckhart Tolle. It got me to thinking about how so many people in this world have a hard time accepting themselves. If you want any shot at finding true happiness and having any type of moderate success, you must accept who you are. Here are a few points that can help you find an easy path towards self acceptance:
Stop resisting what already “is”
The first step into learning to accept yourself is to end the opposition to life itself. What I mean by this, is that there are countless number of people in this world that keep dwelling on something that cannot be changed. They become miserable because they want something else than what life is willing to give them. It’s that “grass is always greener at the neighbor’s” mentality. Stop feeling sorry or hating the cards that you were dealt, and learn to embrace everything that life has thrown your way. The moment you stop resisting what “is”, you gain a higher level of appreciation for whatever “it is”.
You are not who you “think” you are
What I mean by this, is that we have all grown up with certain comments and certain events that has given us this “image” of who we think we are. For example, you may have been told that you had a big nose or an ugly smile, and a certain part of your psyche has accepted that as fact, when in fact, it was just someone’s opinion and not reality. Now you go through life thinking this is real, and have a hard time accepting yourself because of it. Know that everyone sees things differently, and that not one opinion is more important than any other….except your own! Stop putting stock into what others think of you and how they perceive you. Understand that what some people may see as fault, some may see as quality. Therefore, the only constant is your own opinion, and since you know yourself better than anyone, start embracing everything that is great about you
Your uniqueness is your strength
Following from my point above about embracing all that is great about you, you should welcome all that is unique about you. There are 6 billion people on this planet and not one is exactly the same as another. You see, life is all about everything being particularly unique. Do not waste your time wishing you were someone else. Sure, you may find inspiration from other people & admire other things, but you should be aware that there is only one of you in this world, and you owe it to life and to yourself to be the best “you” that you can possibly be! Whatever is unique about you, accept it with open arms, as this is what defines you and what makes you who you are in comparison with other people. You may have grown up thinking that being different is not good, because people around you told you so, but in reality, uniqueness is a very valuable asset. So learn to cherish it.
Be open to improving
Life is all about evolving. Life on earth isn’t the same now as it was 100 years ago or 1000 years ago. You are probably a very different person than you were just a few years ago. This is because you are in a constant state of evolution. Resisting this, and having an attitude about always wanting to remain the same is self defeating. We all change, like it or not. Open yourself to this fact and you will have a deeper understanding of your own life and how you should be progressing through it. Some people are afraid of change, but notice that I say ‘improving’. You don’t need to worry about losing yourself to evolution in case you like who you are right now. Just know that whoever you are now, you are slowly getting better and better, and that is not a loss of oneself but an acquisition of more of the goodness that makes you who you are today. Whomever you might be today, it is not a final state. That in itself, is hope for a greater tomorrow, which should make accepting who you are today that much easier.
I feel that by overcoming the resistance to what already is, removing tainted thoughts about who you are due to some occurrences in your past, embracing what makes you different than everyone else, and being open to a constant state of improvement, you can be highly successful in learning to accept yourself. The moment you start accepting yourself and be at peace with it, that’s the moment where life starts to truly work for you, and this my friend can be incredibly life changing

Use different point of view , view your life
Quote from : Rick Warren
"If you want short-term change, focus on behavior. But, if you want long-term change, then you must focus on a whole new mental paradigm, a whole new picture, a whole new way of seeing yourself, seeing life, seeing God, seeing your future, seeing your problem.
Look into God's Word. After you ask God a question, read the Bible again. And pray this prayer: “Open my eyes, so that I may see the wonderful truths in your Word.” (Psalm 119:18 TEV)
"

RICH
You are rich not because you have a lot of money ; you are rich because you know a lot of rich way to spending your money wise ( using balance amount of money in different area of life , so all reas been taking care of ; including the most important thing pay back the one who give you all this - God; and know how to use money to generate money )
My though. Wisdom that GOD give; but not sure HE like the whole idea.

Quote from Micheal Chan :
For Guy
" How I wanted a guy treat my future wife; how I will treat my girl friend now" ( with respect of lady body , clear your mind , hand, mouth. If you think wicked , your eye tell...)
For Girl
" How you want a guy to treat your daughter, how you should dress, how you respond to to the guy what you should not encourage him to do; that how you wanna behave to building a steady relationship"

Start Planting - Kenneth Copeland Ministries daily devotional 17 March Thursday
Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.
– 1 Peter 1:23
You won't really get excited about the Word of God until you realize that it's more than just a collection of divinely-inspired promises. It's a living force that literally carries within it the power to make those promises become a reality in your life.
Is it tough for you to believe such a thing is possible?
It shouldn't be. You see it happen in the natural world all the time.
If I were to put a tomato seed in your hand and tell you that within that tiny, dry seed lies the power to produce a stalk thousands of times bigger than the seed, to produce leaves and roots and round, red tomatoes, you wouldn't have any trouble believing that, would you? You know from experience that even though that scrawny seed doesn't look like a tomato factory, somehow, given the right environment, it will become one.
Jesus says the Word of God works by that same principle. There's miraculous power within it. It is a seed that, once planted by faith in a human heart, will produce more blessings than you can imagine.
Once you grasp that, you'll get extremely excited about the Word of God. That's what happened to me.
Over 20 years ago, I caught a glimpse of what the Word could do. I caught a glimpse of the power within it. Before long, I had a Bible in every room of my house, a Bible in my car, and a tape player going nearly all the time.
I spent every possible moment in the Word of God because I wanted the power of that Word inside me more than I wanted anything else in the world. I knew it would blow the limits off my life, limits that had held me back and kept me down for years. I knew that when I read it, I wasn't just reading, I was planting seeds. Seeds of prosperity, seeds of health, seeds of protection, and seeds of victory for every area of my life.
Don't treat the Word of God like a book. It's not! It's spiritual seed that has the supernatural power within it to produce the harvest of a lifetime. Get excited about it and start planting today!

Acts 5:29, teaches us that obedience to God must come first, even if it requires personal sacrifice.
Acts 5:29, teaches us that obedience to God must come first, even if it requires personal sacrifice.
Peter and the apostles replied, “We must obey God rather than human authority.”
At times, you may wonder what God expects. With the multitude of churches and wide variety of religious voices added to the messages from your personal study and your conscience, you may feel overwhelmed with duties and obligations. In a simple statement, however, the prophet Micah gives clear direction: (1) do what is right, (2) love mercy, (3) walk humbly.
Justice. Mercy. Humility. Consider the difference those qualities can make if consistently applied. How would your life change? What would be the impact on your relationships? What would your community and nation be like if citizens lived according to this pattern? Most important, what would happen in your relationship with God?
In reality, the application of those changes in behavior occurs in the reverse order. First, we must humble ourselves before God, giving our total allegiance to him. Next, we must relate to others with mercy, loving and caring for our neighbors. Then, this genuine care will lead to standing for what is right in society and fighting against sin and injustice.
This summary in Micha reveals what God wants from you. They are the key to obedience.

Human is a "social animal" tend to follow people flow, But most important thing follow GOD flow
This though is to continue one pages that I have shared on Nov 14 2010. The movie < City of Life & Death > Recently this few days i keep on thinking about this movie, because I just feel like I revisit the movie when saw some forwards pictures that my friend sahred. It all about revealing the hidden dark secret pictures during the Japanese have war over China last time. Forgive me I forgot when and what the war name . But it keep on bordering my mind for few days is because all the pictures is too cruel and so disturbing. You can't believe your eye actually human being is doing this to their same species. This is what the movie shown, how the Japanese Army kill babies, and man in disgusting way and rape girl even old lady, and throw human like garbage,.......
Then I talk to my Sister about it; I ask her why human can do that. And I tell her without Love and care ; people can become so scary like monster.
And I ask is it because when everybody is in sin, then you harden your heart already, and follow the world follow the world trend doing the same thing , doing the same sin. Because when everybody is doing, then it seem ok to you to do the so. Or you are not brave and bold enough to do different thing from everybody else ; because when you don;t follow this social sinful flow, you are like alien, you could not mix in to this world.
But is it God want you to mix in to this world? God want you to close to HIM and walk HIS righteous path.
This make me wonder , when Jesus living in the world, ,He must be very lonely and so difficult and face so much challenging; because worldly person is so diffeerent from his pure and holy heart or attitude.
Gospel , definitely always bigger > work ,> your family, > your comfort /flesh ....................... >

People Who Don’t Know God Worry - Rick Warren Ministries daily devotional 06 February Sunday
What I'm trying to do here is to get you to relax, to not be so preoccupied with getting, so you can respond to God's giving. People who don't know God and the way he works fuss over these things, but you know both God and how he works. Matthew 6:31-32 (MSG)
"Do you believe that if you follow Jesus, you will lack nothing?"
When we worry, we reveal the places in our lives where we are trying to do things on our own as opposed to trusting Jesus to do what he promised.
This means we can view worry as an opportunity to increase our faith. Rather than worry, or feel bad about our worry, we can take the things we worry about and bring them to the feet of King Jesus. We can say, “Jesus, I’m having trouble with this one. It keeps me worried. I’m giving this worry to you and I’m going to trust you to take care of this.”
Then, we have to take thoughts captive, just as the Apostle Paul teaches. What that means is, when we start to worry, we have to take that thought and send it to Jesus. “Jesus, I am worried about the mortgage, but I am sending my worry to you because you have promised to take responsibility for providing for my needs.”
This simple transfer, in and of itself, will strengthen your faith because it requires you at a very basic, yet intimate level, to acknowledge the sovereignty of God. It is a simple step of faith that will help you clearly see when and how Jesus provides.
Jesus says worry is characteristic of people who don't know God and the way he works. And because of their ignorance, they fuss over things. They have no idea that God knows their needs and so, as Pastor Tom taught yesterday, they try to do for themselves what only God can do.
“But you know both God and how he works,” Jesus says. Jesus always brings us to a choice: ‘Do you believe that if you follow me, you will lack nothing?’ If your answer is yes, then why do you worry? If you answer is no, then what keeps you from trusting Jesus?
Jesus died so you could be free from worry. Worry is a choice, but you can choose instead to trust in Jesus and walk in the wonderment of how God provides.

When you about to Criticize and get Angry , and speak something stupid ... read this
Thank God Instead - Kennneth Copeland Ministries daily devotional 07 February Monday
If possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with every one.
– Romans 12:18
When I was a new Christian, it was almost impossible for me to live at peace with anyone! Almost every time I opened my mouth, I said something ugly. I was constantly hurting the people I was close to. In fact, I spoke more harshly to them than to anyone else.
I criticized Gloria's driving so much that she nearly refused to drive while I was with her. I criticized my children so much that they began to avoid me. I didn't want to be so insensitive, but I couldn't help it. I had a well-developed habit of speaking harshly and didn't know how to change it.
Then I found Ephesians 5:4. It said, "[Let there be] no coarse, stupid, or flippant talk; these things are out of place; you should rather be thanking God" (New English Bible). When I read that, I realized I needed to replace the words I was used to saying with words of thanksgiving. That would solve my problem. After all, I couldn't speak harshly and thank God at the same time. I couldn't criticize those around me if I had a thankful attitude about them.
I immediately decided to put this principle to work in my life. Rushing into my son's room one day ready to lambaste him about something he had done, I recognized my old behavior pattern. I just stopped and said to myself, "The Word says this kind of behavior is out of place, so I am going to stop and thank God." I wasn't nearly as angry after I spent a few minutes praising and thanking the Lord.
If you've developed the habit of speaking harshly, start changing that habit today. When someone crosses you on the job, at school, or wherever, and you're tempted to tear into them with cruel words, stop! Then take a few moments to give thanks and praise to God. Once you begin thinking about how good God is, more often than not, those harsh, angry words will just slip away unspoken.
Instead of using your tongue to tear people down, train it to lift God's praises up. Then living at peace with others will come easily to you!
Scripture Reading: Ephesians 4:26-32, Ephesians 5:1-4

Thoughts of the Heart- by JM
February 6
Either make the tree sound (healthy and good), and its fruit sound (healthy and good), or make the tree rotten (diseased and bad), and its fruit rotten (diseased and bad); for the tree is known and recognized and judged by its fruit.
— Matthew 12:33
The Bible says a tree is known by its fruit, and the same is true of you.You can look at a person’s attitude and know what kind of thinking is prevalent in his life. A sweet, kind person does not have mean, vindictive thoughts. By the same token, a truly evil person does not have good, loving thoughts.
Your thoughts bear fruit. Think good thoughts and the fruit in your life will be good. Think bad thoughts and the fruit in your life will be bad. Remember Proverbs 23:7 and allow it to have an impact on your life: for as you think in your heart, so are you.

Overcoming Bias ( from Daily Bread)
Read: Colossians 3:8-17
There is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcised nor uncircumcised, . . . slave nor free, but Christ is all and in all. —Colossians 3:11
Bible in a year:
Exodus 39-40; Matthew 23:23-39A Washington Post article reported that recent studies into the nature of prejudice found that almost everyone harbors biases, and these attitudes affect even those who actively resist them. A University of Kentucky
A Washington Post article reported that recent studies into the nature of prejudice found that almost everyone harbors biases, and these attitudes affect even those who actively resist them. A University of Kentucky psychologist says that much of our self-esteem comes from feeling better about ourselves than about others because of the group we belong to. Prejudice is not easy to overcome, even within the family of God.
Paul’s words to the believers at Colosse instruct us today, saying that our speech and behavior toward fellow Christians should reflect our oneness in Christ. “[You] have put on the new man,” Paul said, “where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcised nor uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave nor free, but Christ is all and in all” (Col. 3:10-11). Instead of superiority and favoritism, we should demonstrate compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience toward each other (v.12). And above all, we are to “put on love, which is the bond of perfection” (v.14).
In the body of Christ, no race, nationality, or class is better than another. Through the cross, Christ has made us one, and we are to treat each other with honesty, dignity, and love.
It matters not what race or gender,
Rich or poor, or great or small,
The God who made us is not partial—
He sent Christ to die for all. —D. De Haan
Prejudice distorts what it sees, deceives when it talks,
and destroys when it acts.

Relationship
So many though when meeting up with high school girl friend yesterday night, about their relationship problem, and the look of their face , how's theier marraige life,... the single thier own relationship with their ownselves.
I think relationship is like planting a plant as well you nee to nourishes it with : tender , loving , care . to maintain a good relationship . Is apply to any either your relationship with God , Family, your spouse, your child, your friends.
You need to constant care about them, talk with them, walk together with their journey , say something sweet to them, appreciate them . And grow together , open the heart to have deep communicate with them , and forgive and forget and take it eay , pamper them , buy gift with them , spent a great quality tea time with them in a nice little cafe ..., praise them , encourage them , call then buy present for them ..., celebrate birthday with them, give them surprise , .....
So are you a good "planter" ??
Are you lack of love nutritious ?! In order to avoid this start give first, be a planter, and the flower will bear fruit .
The best part is we are created by GOD our love inside to others can be unlimited like God , and be very big , and be very amazing, can be very wonderful,......
Thank GOD, now I know some meaning of " GOD IS LOVE'.

Whatever we do, we have to think twice so that we wouldn't make our Heavenly Father name under criticize and shame, but instead we offer Glory. whatever we do is for GOD ! Must consider our FATher all he time, love HIM and others wholeheartedly is the basic principle.
Help us to glorify your name, in JESUS name I pray Amen

Six Fundamentals of an Optimistic Life by Henrik Edberg
http://www.positivityblog.com/index.php/2011/01/21/optimistic-life/
pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity; an optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty.”
Winston Churchill
“Nobody can go back and start a new beginning, but anyone can start today and make a new ending.”
Maria Robinson
“It’s better to be an optimist who is sometimes wrong than a pessimist who is always right.”

Negative thinking can poison what – from the outside – looks like a pretty good life with opportunities. Pessimism can create ceilings and walls made out of glass where there really are none.
With such forces controlling your inner life your outer life tends to stand pretty still. Your time here waste away. It’s a terrible thing.
But you can change. I have. And in this article I’ll share six fundamentals that have been essential for me to make that mental change.
These are things that actually work in real life to change how you view things. However, just knowing these things won’t change your thinking. You have to practice them and fail from time to time and then get back up again and keep using them until they become new habits of thinking.
Focus on what you want.
What do you think about most of the time? Your troubles and worries? If that is the case, if you spend your attention on focusing on what you don’t want then it’s easy to feed the negativity monster in your mind with more energy and to get stuck in analysis paralysis.
But if you instead spend most of your time thinking about what you want out of life in various areas then you become more focused. Your mind starts to spit out solutions to your obstacles. You feel like taking action to start moving step by step towards your goals.
So focus on what you want. Post reminders on post-its and whiteboards in your surroundings to keep your attention where it needs to be. Write down your goal and focus single-mindedly to taking yourself towards it. Ask yourself questions that helps you find the useful and positive such as:
What’s awesome about this situation?
And what is the hidden opportunity in this situation?
Be grateful for what you got.
What you want is something out there in the future. But it is also important to view what you have in the right way to keep an optimistic viewpoint.
So appreciate the little and big things in life you have instead of focusing too much on what you don’t have.
Ask yourself: what can I be grateful for in my life right now?
When I ask myself that question I often come up with simple answers such as the roof over my head, the delicious food on my table, having the opportunity to sleep in and the people closest to me.
Avoid negative generalizations.
Negative generalizations about life can really wreck your outlook.
If you for example run into an obstacle or problem then the negative thinker may generalize this as something that is just there and will continue to stay there. While the optimistic thinker views the obstacle as something temporary that can be overcome by taking action (even if that also means failing and learning a few things along the way).
If the negative thinker runs in criticism then s/he may generalize this as something personal, like the other person is out to get him/her and that s/he is somehow a bad or generally an incompetent person just because this piece of criticism.
The optimistic thinker on the other hand will keep some distance to the criticism. S/he thinks that the piece of criticism may be valid for this area of life rather than saying something about everything (if the criticism is about not being on time for meetings at work then that is the issue that needs to be corrected, it does not mean a bad performance in all areas of that job).
The optimistic thinker also keeps in mind that criticism may sometimes not be valid but will arise because the other person has had a bad day, is irritated about something else or hates some part of his or her own life.
Shape the input.
If you let pessimistic and negative thinking into your mind then it will be pretty much impossible to stay optimistic about life.
So shape the input.
Take a closer look at what movies, TV, news, books and music you consume and how they affect you. Look at how the people closer to you too such as friends and family affect your thoughts.
Then take action to reduce or cut out the most negative sources as best you can and replace that void in your life with more time with the positive influences.
Set the context for your day.
What you do early in the day often sets the context for that day. A good start leads to good day and a bad start to a bad day.
Some suggestions that will help you to set the positive context for the day:
Spend a few minutes in the morning on thinking about what you want and your goals. This sends you off to highly motivated and focused day.
Spend a few minutes being grateful for what you got. This sets you up for a positive mood throughout the day.
Exercise. This will help you release inner tensions and worry and fill the space they occupied within you with new energy.
Do the most important thing first. This is how I start my day. Today I woke up and did my usual morning ritual that ends with doing the most important thing on my to-do list. And so I started to write this article. This not only makes sure that the most important thing gets done each day. It also makes me feel good about myself and makes the rest of the to-do list feel lighter to move through.
So make an effort early in the day. It really pays off even if you may not always feel like it just after breakfast.
Be good and kind to yourself.
How you view yourself and treat yourself has a huge impact on how you view the world around you and interact with it.
You are at the centre of your world and if you like yourself and are good to yourself then it becomes a lot easier to thinking optimistically about your future and the world around you.
Here are a few of the best ways to be good and kind to yourself:
Do the right thing. Do what you deep down think is the right thing as much as you can – but accept that you will never be able to do it all the time – to increase your self-esteem and your sense of the things you deserve in life.
Write down five things each night that you are grateful for about yourself. Or appreciate yourself by doing a two minute exercise where you just list small and big things about yourself that you like and good things you have done. You can do this exercise in your mind or on a piece of paper. These two self-appreciation exercises will help you create better thinking habits. Because the more you do things like these, the more this kind of thinking will naturally pop up in your everyday life too. You are changing how you think about yourself and what you have a tendency to focus on (both in yourself and in the world around you).
Don’t beat yourself up. It’s just a stupid habit and no one will reward you for it. And it only makes it harder to improve since you will probably start to procrastinate to avoid the pain of your own future self-beatings for example.
