What is the one thing that you want to do today? It may mean the only thing that matters to you now if your destiny depends on it. The one thing that you want to do right now, e.g. baking a cake, draws a beautiful picture, read a book, cook a meal, whatever it is, it would mean that you’re doing these things because you enjoy it and your destiny is to fulfil the dreams that you’ve set out to do.

What are your plans for 2011? Have you planned to do what you want to achieve next year? What do you do to attain your dreams? Dreams are one thing, and achieving it is another. Your destiny on tomorrow depends on what you want to do today. Are your time well spend everyday. Do you plan what you want to do today?

What is the most important thing in your life? Dream of it and accomplish it today. Your today depends on your tomorrow. You have exactly a week to plan for your new year. Have you drafted your plans already. It is not too late as you can still plan right now. Your success next year depends on your success now – in your planning.   

What are the things that you want to do most with your family? What is the one thing that you want to attain in your job? Dream now and plan now – it leads to your destiny.

Life is beautiful if you look at it in a positive way. Relationship is great if you have a strong family. A successful career too is what everyone one is veering for, but if you try to climb the corporate ladder and face obstacles, what do you do. Do you go against all odds to see yourself beating your colleagues, or do you think successfully that you just have to work hard and things will turn to your favour.

How you face failures would be an opportunity for you to taste success if you keep at it and never to give up. You must weigh what causes your failure and you must be tenacious to spring back to life. Never be discouraged with your failures as there are a lot of opportunities to weave back in life. Stand tall and do not look back. Advance forward and taste success as you go on in life.

The essence is, never fear failure and never to give up, but keep working at it. Soon one day you’ll see your success round the corner and you can be a blessing to others. Thrive on to success and never look back.

One of the greatest obstacles that we face when we strive for success is ourself. We post the greatest obstacle to our own success out of ignorance or lack of help from people around us. We fail because it may be that we don’t know how to walk into our destiny. More often than not, we hinder ourself if we are critical and have a wrong and difficult attitude.

To succeed in life, go the extra mile with others, as people are our greatest possession. To be successful, we would need to be a failure first. It is through failing that we uncover the secrets to success. If we don’t fail, we may never succeed. Take a step at a time. Uncover your dreams and aim high.

To succeed in life, we must be teachable. Pride is the greatest destroyer of life if we take heed to it. Many successful people fall because of pride. They forgot where their humble beginning were. They are too quick to blow their tops.

In order to succeed in life, we must have a character of love, as love is the  litmus test whether we enjoy people and loved them. Take time to succeed, as you walk through the road of thorny thorns that will develop and mode your character. Without trials we will not succeed, and without  putting to test our abilities, we will never discover our potentials.

The key is, walk a humble road and success will wait for you on the other end.

Life is a challenge. We must be willing to take risks and find out what ticks for us. There are one hundred and one things that we want to do. However, we cannot simply accomplice everything without a real definite goal for ourselves. We must dare to dream and take risk.

Goals can be measured if we set time to plan it out. Without a goal, we’ll have no direction. We can’t simply be aiming at no where. We must set definite plans and try to accomplish it. We must plan real goals and not have wishy washy ideas. You know yourself what is best for you and therefore you know your own plans. If you don’t have any goal, then sit back and start to think of one.

Real goal comes from real planning. Perhaps in your venture you may have failed in one way or the other. Do not let this deterred you from planning real goals. Nothing venture, nothing gain. So therefore be bold and plan your goals. Success comes to those who have a direction in life, and know what is ahead of them. They can see their future in their mind’s eyes and are always enthusiastic to venture out.

Dare to dream and make your dreams come true.

God, who created everything in this world is passionately interested in who you are. You may be struggling for a living, but somehow He will still provide. You may not understand what you’re going through but God has you in the palm of His hand. You may be going through a bad marriage, but God is urging you to change for the better. Friends may forsake you but God will not. If you cry out to Him He will hear your prayers and respond to your needs.

God is immensely interested in everything that concerns you. He cares for your family and He is interested in how you’re doing in your career. He watches over you when you sleep, and when you wake up the next morning, He is there to assure you that your day will be blessed if you were to commit it to Him. He directs and guides your path in everything that you do. He wants you to succeed and will pave the way for you. He is very interested in everything about you.

As God is interested about you, are you interested to know Him? Do you see that He is the most important Person in everything that concerns you? Do you talk to Him and tell Him everything that is in your way? Do you walk with Him like a friend, talking and communicating with Him every moment? Is God your everything?

The greatest joy is when God begins to talk to you after you have drawn yourself to Him and talk to Him everyday. When God begins to communicate with you, know that you are in the safest place that you can be. Nothing will hinder you from knowing what is God’s heart and His will for your life. As you talk to Him and know Him, He will reveal Himself to you.

The joy of knowing God is immense. There is nothing in this life that you can trade for except hearing the voice of God and knowing Him. Would you talk to God now and tell Him that He is the most important Person in your life, not things or life itself.

He is waiting for you.

But how does you secure a passport to heaven? Is it what you do, to do good? Or, perhaps you give to charity and help the poor? Maybe you are religious but you do not have a relationship with God. After all, you can say you live a pretty good life without cheating or kill or commit adultery. But do all these things that you do ensure that you have a passport to heaven?

Do all roads of religion lead you to heaven? Can you recognise that we are all sinners and it is pretty hard for us to think of heaven as our home. God is light, and He does not entertain darkness at all. Man and God is separated because of sin. Sin mars us away from God. We are eternally separated from God because we are by nature sinful.

There is a gulf between heaven and earth. We are all in total darkness. However, it pains God to see us eternally dead, but God has a solution for us through His Son. He sent Jesus His Son to come to this earth to bridge that gap between God and men. Jesus willingly came to this earth 2000 years ago as a baby born in a manger. He grew up as a Son of Man as well as the Son of God. He is God’s only begotten Son.

The price that Jesus had to pay to redeem mankind from sin was enormous. He had to bear the whole world’s sin on His body on the cross when He willingly died on the cross for both your sins and my sins. It had been done and it is paid in full – our sin on His body – when you believe in Him, you shall be saved.

Jesus had done it all on Calvary’s cross. When you acknowledge that you are sinners and believe that Jesus died on the cross for your sin, and believe that He is the Son of God, the moment you believe in Jesus and accept Him as your Saviour, you shall be saved.

The cross that Jesus died bridged the gap between God and men. All you have to do is just believe and you shall be saved. When you believe in Jesus and call upon Him, He will come into your life, live with you and make you whole. All your sins will be washed and forgiven, and you shall be saved. The name of Jesus frees you from your sins. All you have to do is to call upon Him now and He will come into your life. Open up your heart to Him and see your salvation at hand. It only takes a step, and that is to invite Jesus into your heart and you are washed and cleansed by the blood of Jesus.

Have you said that prayer to ask Jesus to come into your life? Take the step now to do so and you will see the hand of God upon you. You shall gain a passport to heaven and you will forever be with God eternally in heaven with Him.

Have you taken the first step now by believing and accepting Jesus into your life? Take a moment to do so and you shall be eternally saved. Have you gain your passport to heaven?

What do you do then? Did you take a good look at your own life and can you see signs of chaos and decay in all that you attempt to do? Maybe life treated you a little unfairly. Perhaps you’ve tried all that you can to restore your situation but life seems to be harsh and cruel. There seems to be very little purpose in your life and you struggle everyday to meet ends need.

Life is too short not to live worthily. Whatever your needs and circumstances are, you can change your life if you chooses to. Your destiny is in your own hands. 

When you are shouted at, don’t react, but pause to collect yourself before speaking and changing that situation around. We do what we expect others will do to us. Life is a challenge. It’s up to you to handle situations that come your way. You need to have a purpose and direction in life. You can only flow in your life if you have a goal as your guide post.

Live in such a way as if tomorrow will never come. Watch and anticipate your direction in life. You must take control and charge over your own life. You must be in control of your life and life takes its significance when you know what you want and need in this life.

Aim to plan your day with clear direction, and at the end of the day, weight out what you’ve done, to check the mistakes that you’ve made, and how you can better improve yourself tomorrow.

Life is a challenge. Take one day at a time and soon you will be able to reign in your own life.

Whatever way you look at beauty, we will always want to look good. However, beauty is not just the physical side, but it is also our internal being. Inner beauty attracts others to ourselves. A pleasant and confident deposition will win many friends to ourselves. After all people like to be seen with confident and positive people. A well-liked person is to be admired. Are you enjoying friendship where many are attracted to you?

You should build on your strength in your inner character, and strive to change your bad habits as that would deter you from being your very best. We can build our inner beauty through character development and always aim to be polite. There are too many bad mannered people around and that spoil good relationship with those who are sincere and loving.

Are you constantly building friends and is your track record personable? A well-groom person coupled with good personality make one likeable and approachable. What are the things that we can do to build such characteristics?

One, be loving and personable. People like to share with successful people and will only follow the leaders.

Second, be polite and not rude. A well-mannered person goes a long way.

Third, be a good listener. It draws others to yourself.

Fourth, be communicative, people like to talk to successful people.

Fifth, smile always as that breaks silences and add life to the mood of circumstances.

Sixth, be bold to say sorry when in the wrong; people appreciate frankness.

Seventh, help others when they are in need. They will be forever grateful.

Eighth, be kind-hearted and people will share their problems with you.

Ninth, be generous, people are glad when you are generous in your praise and also monetary wise.

Tenth, always be yourself as your genuineness will attract others to yourself.

Finally, let your beauty shines, both physical and inner fortitude. You will be so attractive that love, praises, hugs, blessings and success will come your way. Dare to shine and let your beauty be the very thing that will make you the most attractive person on this earth.

In our everyday life where we are so busy with our work, do you take time to relax? How about a movie, maybe going to the park to cycle, or take a long distant walk; perhaps resting in a pool with your loved ones; or taking your wife for shopping trip; maybe go to an expensive restaurant and give yourself a good treat.

Whatever you do, stay happy and beat the stress at the office or your home. Perhaps you like to enjoy a good piece of music, then go to a lounge and sit back and relax with your favourite drinks. Chatting with friends is a very therapeutic thing to do. Catching up old times is a way of de-stressor, where you unload all your cares and worries and is happy that you have a listening ear.

Baking a cake or make cookies may be yet another relaxing thing to do as you look up on your favourite baking book and chose a special style that you like to make. Try frosty creamers or sparkling icing for your cake and make it look as if you have bought it from your neighbourhood store. Let loose of your creativity and watch how you fare at the end of it all.

Whatever you do, relax and enjoy doing something different every week. How did your cake turn out this week? Keep trying and soon you too will master ice-cream cake if you take the time to learn it.

Perhaps your favourite past-time is to work out your hands at the garden outside your house or lawn the mow. Some like dirtying their hands while others work best indoor; like attending to in-doors plants. Whatever it is, all of us have some interest or another to deal with our hands and you can be really creative if you take time to explore your talent.

 To have a good past-time would mean one enjoying his leisure hours, doing things that he like best. I’m always fighting for time to do things that I like, like reading a good magazine or write my favourite poems. There are one hundred and one things to do to keep me occupied and there is always not enough time. However, I’ve learn to do the important first and leave the less urgent at a later time, and life just goes on.

How you spend your leisure hours speak a lot about yourself. If you’re one who is always fighting for time, then you need to learn to relax and let every moment be a blissful delight of doing just what you like;  like for me, writing an article or construct a good poem.

For some, they never know what it is like to have their special moments to do what they like. It seems that life is an endless day of work and work with no play. Having a special time for our own, to do what we like is so important. It speaks about our character, as one knows how to enjoy the extra time that one has and use it for the pleasure and leisure of oneself. To be able to do that is very commendable.

What is your leisure and what is your hobby. Do you find time to do your special things and are you enjoying life as it comes along? The next time you’re tempted to laze around, think of the special moments when you do things that you enjoy, and you’ll never have to squander away your time. You will be like me, savouring every moment of the leisure to do the many tasks that I enjoy, and still have plenty of time to do serious work.

Are you one without goals and directions and you don’t know how to pass your time? Look no more to endless boredom, and start finding things that you enjoy doing and you’ll have yet another good and enjoyable week ahead of you. Fret no more and only do…one step at a time and soon you’ll find that you have plenty of time to do anything.
