Self Discipline

A lot of people are afraid of the word "discipline" but the root of the word "discipline" is the word "disciple". When your self disciplined, you simply decided in the matter of the word to become your own "disciple." Once you make that decision, your life's adventures becomes more interesting. You see yourself as a different person. You start to gain your own SELF RESPECT.

Tell a true lie

Make up a lie about how great you are to make yourself sound unbelievably wonderful. Think of a picture of who you want to be. Without that picture, you can't live up to that self. 

Help

You can get everything in life you want, if you help enough other people get what they want.

The Future

The best thing about the future is that it comes only one day at a time Abraham Lincoln

Toss

In our life we are getting Good and Bad. Probability of then is differed for each and every one of us.

Serene

We all have seen the sea
When it is Stormy and Wild; 
When it is Quiet and Serene; 
When it is Dark and Moody.
And in all its moods,We can see ourselves.

Generous

The more generous we are, the more joyous we become.

Overcoming Obstacles

"Obstacles don't have to stop you. If you run into a wall, don't turn around and give up. Figure out how to climb it, go through it, or work around it." 

                                - Michael Jordan

Purpose

There’s nothing more important than finding a purpose that inspires and motivates you and gives your life meaning and direction.

Stress is a Choice

An Empty Pickle Jar

A professor stood before his philosophy class and had some items in front of him. When the class began, wordlessly he picked up a very large and empty pickle jar and proceeded to fill it with golf balls.

He then asked the students if the jar was full. They agreed that it was. So the professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them into the jar. He shook the jar lightly. The pebbles rolled into the open areas between the golf balls. He then asked the students again if the jar was full. They agreed it was.

The professor next picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar. Of course, the sand filled up everything else. He asked once more if the jar was full. The students responded with a unanimous "yes."

The professor then produced two glasses of chocolate milk from under the table and poured the entire contents into the jar effectively filling the empty space between the sand.

The students laughed.

The Moral of the Story - The professor waited for the laughter to subside....

"Now," said the professor, "I want you to recognize that this jar represents your life. The golf balls are the important things...your family, your children, your health, your friends, your favorite passions. Things that if everything else was lost and only they remained, your life would still be full."

"The pebbles are the other things that matter like your job, your home, your car."

"The sand is everything else...The small stuff. If you put the sand into the jar first, there is no room for the pebbles or the golf balls. The same goes for life. If you spend all your time and energy on the small stuff, you will never have room for the things that are critical to your happiness."

"Play with your children. Take time to get medical checkups. Take your partner to dinner. Play another 18. There will always be time to clean the house or fix the disposal."

"Take care of the golf balls first, the things that really matter. Set your priorities, the rest is just sand."

Attitudes and Beliefs

Attitudes and beliefs, while closely related, are not exactly the same. A belief is a thought or mental image we accept as true. An attitude is what you put out into the world through your words and actions.

Diet

Even though all food is good, it must be taken in regards to your health. As your body is the temple of God, you must keep it clean. This can also be applied to smoking, as smoking is slowly killing yourself and ruining God’s temple.

Clarity

 

Clarity about goals saves a huge amount of energy that can be deployed productively in other areas.
