Reality Check

The world we live in, it is easy to moan about all the things that we don't have. You may drive a ford focus but inside you moan that it is not a BMW. You live in a nice house but inside you moan that it is not a 4 Bed in solihull.
You have a beautiful wife but you moan that she not perfect like the women on the TV. We live in a world that does not allow us to be satisfied but always on the want for more or better.
I had one of those days I was maoning that I was getting paid to travel down to London for a meeting, at the same time one of my love one was told that a close person to them had contracted Cancr and had no more than six months to live. UMMMMMM. Question would I be moaning if I had six months to live that I had to travel to London or rejoicing in the fact that I had the opportunity to drive and full of health, married, great kids, a awesome church and amazing friends.

Ensure you give you self a reality check today. IT could be so much worse that you could ever imagine. Be grateful for waht you have but do not lose your ambition to grow.

"Godliness and Contentment are GREAT GAIN.

Integrity

for a while Ihad struggled why I was not as successful as I believed I should be. I thought I worked harder than most was talented etc etc.

Then God revealed the truth to me that my level of integrity was not to be admired.

I was the person that would spend 15mins here and 15 mins there on sky sports etc when I should have been working. I would not start at 9 but fully switch on from 930, even though I was paid from 9.

Truly succesful people will work hard, be diligent even when no one is around that is what makes them successful.

I realise what I have to do, DO YOU ?????

Being Open

Speaking with my best friend today Thammi, he shown me how important just being open about your feeling are. Sometimes we don't need advice, shoulder to cry, moral support but just a ear that will listen.

It funny my best was sharing with me in the week and I automatically wanted to give him a answer to his sharing. But he was not looking for a answer just a ear. I was struggle with this as I am very solution oriented. It was only when I wanted to share that I saw the importance of just sharing and releasing the thoughts that might be plaguing your mind.

This brings about the importance of friendship, even as a male with have emotions that we must learn to share and feel ok to share. We are human with emotions and not some kind of robot. But i see very little is men who have friendship where they can share and be really open.

The lesson is it is good to share but also it good to listen and not speak unless some one has asked for your advice. Maybe they just want your eye

God Bless

Believing ther Truth

I am grateful to my faith in God, as without it my mind woul dhave exploded.

It is so easy to live a life of condemnation, we get so many thing wrong in any given day. Continually reviewing what we have done wrong and wondering what if.
Today especially was a tough day. Major decision take place and you wonder could I have done more and you want to beat your self up. One comment can destroy your whole day as I find we listen more intently to the negative press in our own minds than we do to the warrior inside all of us that tells us it will be ok and tomorrow is a new dawn just ensure you learn today lessons and GROW.

Because of my faith I was able to eventually to dispel the negative thoughts by confession the scriptures over my life. "All things work out for good for those that love the lord" , "the lord knows what is best for you and how to direct your life". If I truly trusted in my own efforts I would be worried, but I have the greatest MENTOR who is guding my footsteps to success.

Thought for the day, ensure you have a higher belief system than your own. Key to true sucess

Believing the truth

Humbility Key to Success

It not until you serve others that you appreciate how lucky you are. It not until you see some one who life seems worst than yours that you realise how lucky you are.

I had the privledge today of spending time with a young guy 18 years old who has a learning difficulty. By world standards he doesn't wear the latest clothes, at times he clothes are dirty. He holds no trinkets of success but this guy is rich. The reason being he has not be polluted by the world and he is who is is with no fake masks and pretences.

Being around him makes me realise what really being successful, learning to be me. He doesn't care the car I drive or the watch I own or the home that I live in. He just wants to spend time having fun. In our case playing the Wii.

Also making the effort to hang out with him is a treasure for me. It makes his day to know someone is interested in him. If only he knew that the time I spend with him or more valuable to me than potential for him.

If you really want to be succesful learn to LOVE & SERVE. But to do these you must learn to be humble
