Life has challenges. Should we run from them hoping that they go away? Should we hide from what is really going on in our surroundings? Why does life put YOU to the test?
Some people wake up daily and never understand how they should stand up to beliefs. Walking through life hurt or beat up from the past. They might even be scared by the present. This is the common side effect for a punished future. Everyday life happens. Everyday a baby is born, that first breath of air is someone's last. Everyday a woman is beaten by the man that "loves" her. Do we stop living? Should we live in fear? It's a hard thing to swallow but you're life situation can be a great healing tool if you look up. (Yes, he is always there.)
A testimony is a "test." An exam of life's knowledge and an understanding that you are here to fulfill something. You are put here with a duty. Everyone has a calling. It is up to you to find out who you are? You are not an idiot because you flunked a test. You are not a hoe because you are open about your sexual activity. Your not a loser because your not a jock or a popular kid in school. Your are only misled. You are a impaired by your peers. It's time for you to separate yourself from the "world" and fine tune who you are. Be that grand piano in a room. Someone that everyone can admire but not all can play. Have a heart that beats to sound of a harp. Be that someone that shares a melody that the like minded will follow.
Life has so much to offer. The best things in life are free .99. Do you remember that first time you rode your bike and made it to the end of the driveway without falling? You didn't give up, did you? Or that first time your brought home an A+ paper. I bet that feeling made you warm inside and want to post it on the fridge. Life offers things to you everyday. We just have to be optimistic. Stop looking in the glass as if it were half empty. Life will pass you by if you spend too much time worrying and living in fear.
If your an adult and you have debt, why be scared to take risk? You already made the biggest risk of shutting down financial opportunities for your future. You already took the time to splurge on something that is borrowed. It's very funny how the world will apply for a loan and risk everyone else's finances, but will never take a chance on their own. One thing I have grown to learn is that you cherish that hard earned buck at the end of a hard week. Why not invest it? All you have to do is talk. Something you have been doing since the age of two. The only risk you take is letting your time slip through your hands.
If your an adult in a broken relationship, why be nervous about confronting your partner? You took the biggest risk already. You let down that wall to open your heart. So feel free to guard it when needed. Your heart is yours. It is how you managed to still be here. If you have a pulse you have a right. No man or woman should be allowed to endure pain caused by a partner or spouse. Just think of it this way. When you go, your going by yourself preserve your right to be happy. Its just that simple.
If your upset about something in life look it right in the face and give it a piece of your mind. This is your test. Don't let anyone copy or cheat off of your test. Life's obstacles are the PSAT's to your future and success. You can study your past and present to try not to get caught up in it. Be fearless when facing a challenge. Never stop achieving because you're afraid of the outcome. Your not sure if your going to wake up tomorrow so live today. You may not be able to grow in height but in the mind you can flourish.

The Power Of Praising People
One of the keys to success is to have successful relationships. We are not islands and we don't get to the top by ourselves.

One of the keys to success is to have successful relationships. We are not islands and we don't get to the top by ourselves. And one of the key ways to grow successful in our relationships is to be "life-giving" people to others.
Every person we meet, we either give life to or take life from. You know what I mean. There are people who encourage you and when you are done being with them you feel built up. Then there are others who you feel torn down by. Successful people are people who have mastered the art of building others up.
One of the ways we build people up is to praise them. There is power in praising people!
Something begins to happen in them, in you, and in your relationship when you praise someone. Remember a time when someone told you something about yourself in a praising manner? It was great, wasn't it? You probably liked that person more after they praised you, didn't you?
Now I am not talking about praising people for the sake of praising people. I am talking about honestly looking for and praising positive character traits and action of others around you. Don't lie to people. If they have done something wrong, correct it, but when they do something right, Praise it!
With that said, here are benefits of and ways to start praising people.
Benefits
Your relationship grows.
Life is about relationships. Family relationships, friends, and co-workers. When we begin to praise people for their positive aspects, our relationships grow. It puts them, and us, on the fast track.
Your leadership and influence grows.
Who is going to have greater leadership and influence capacity in the lives of their followers, the one who tears down or the one who builds up?
Stronger relationships and loyalty.
When the person is appreciated and praised, they become fiercely loyal, because they know that you care for them, love them, and appreciate them. This will take you to success.
Happier, more fulfilled people.
I truly believe it is our job to build others up and that they need it. It is a good thing, in and of itself to invest in the lives of others by praising and encouraging them. Even if we never get anything in return, it is the right thing to do to build up other people. Someone else will always come along to tear them down; the successful person will instill in them the power of praise!
Some ways to praise
Character traits.
Is there someone you know who is joyful? Hard- working? Honest? Then let them know how much you appreciate that in them. You can do it with a word or a card, or a phone call. Say something like this, "You know Tom, I think it is great that you are such a hard- worker. It seems like you are always the first one here and the last one to leave. You really set a good example and I want you to know how much I appreciate that." Simple!
Action.
Same idea as above. "Sue, I don't know if anybody else has told you this, but your work on the Johnson account was excellent. You have a wonderful ability to communicate the vision of the project and that helps all of the rest of us out in our roles and tasks. Thanks for that. It is greatly appreciated."

Other ways you can show praise and appreciation is with a card, a gift, or time off from work. Make it your goal to praise at least five people a day. If you can, praise ten people a day. Or perhaps you can try to praise everyone you come in contact with. It will take work but it is possible. It just takes discipline and a little work.
Any way you cut it though, there is power in praising people. First for them, then for you!

Stepping Out Into America Is Risk. Why Not Reap The Benefits Of TakingRisk
Thank God for another glorious day to live. We never realize how risky America is until it happens to someone else. The world is so scared of risking their money. Yet, they will step into the world never knowing if they will make it home at night. Let's just be honest with ourselves. I bet your intuition agrees with my bold statement.
Intuition is all you need. What exactly is intuition, you ask? It's a rational thought stemming from direct knowledge. Also known as a gut feeling. It is basically common sense. You just have to be willing to utilize it.
Ex:If you see an opportunity that looks very interesting your intuition wants to know more.
This allows you to be open minded. But it doesn't stop there. You have to not let your mind get the best of you.
Your mind is full of garbage. Yes, I said it, GARBAGE!
Especially, if your broke and uneducated about your finances and your surroundings. What else can we call it? Your mind will kill your future if you let. Be willing to take risk. Think of all the benefits if you reap by doing something life changing. Don't beat yourself up about how much it cost or how much time it will take to achieve greatness.
Great takes time and its very rewarding!
Life is sure to have tribulations. It will always bring you surprises. You have to dig deep and be hungry. Tell your mind what to think. Also say, " No matter how bad it is, or how bad it gets I'M GOING TO MAKE IT." Something I learned from the great Les Brown. A great network marketing leader. He has even passed on a great bible scripture that I love to read daily.
Matthew 5:6
Blessed are they who hunger and thirst after righteousness, for they shall be filled
So if you see an opportunity jump all over it. Don't let "FEAR," hold you back. Hold your head up. You get in life what you are. Surround yourself around quality people. Learn to communicate and build up others.
Remember this:
• If you do what is easy, your life will be hard
• If you do what is hard, your life will be easy
Thank you for checking out my article I hope you enjoy other material that I provide on my website.

A reflection of LIFE...
As people in the world we should always reflect on life. It is what builds our relationship with our peers. Life helps us get through the hard times and also rejoice during the times of celebration. It is very important that we as people reflect on the good, bad and undecided so that we grow and evolve as humans.
Do not go through life living in stagnant times. Always push for the best. Be a rising star. The sky is the limit.
I wasn't raised with a father in my home. I wasn't taught how to be a man. I wasn't taught how to love a woman either. Now I am a father of two beautiful princesses. I have a wife that I love more and more each day. And I am now a man of faith. My inspiration came from not having a father in my life. I beat myself up as a child. I couldn't bear to see my children go through that. I ask myself the questions all the time. "Why would a man leave their offspring? Why is it so hard for a man to grow up? A few great questions we may never have a solid answer for, but as long as I never have those question asked at me, my life will have a beautiful testimony.
Negatives should never hold back one's life. We as people have to learn how adapt to our surroundings. We can't give up because life gets too hard. The worst temptations are easy to accomplish. You have to challenge life and wish you were better. Never hope for anything to be given to you. You have to go out there and build up people, reflect on life and achieve.
I met a woman that always complained about her problems in life. Everytime she opened her mouth negativity poured out. She spoke negativity fluently. Then one day she was diagnosed with cancer. Not understanding why it happened to her, she locked herself in away from the world. She asked god why. She wondered what it was that she did wrong to deserve such a cruel disease. Then one day she stopped asking and started living. She became a new person. Aware of other people and an open heart to the world. She became an ambassador of life. After 2 years of fighting Cancer she managed to beat the disease. Her life has grown beyond her past. I'm pretty sure that her past played a big role in her life. When the chips were down she had to decide between life and death. The life she once frowned upon became the sunshine to those around her. She is a woman of faith. She overcame fear. She became bigger than her situation.
I wasn't always this optimistic. It wasn't until I became an adult and saw my life for what it is.
I wake up everyday and I read Joshua 1:7-8.
"Be strong and very courageous. Be careful to obey all the law my servant Moses gave you; do not turn from it to the right or to the left, that you may be successful wherever you go. Keep this book of the Law on your lips; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful."
Make sure you are grateful and comfortable with who you are. People will not understand all the changes you make. They are not evolving. Those are the one who are stagnant. Be aware of your surroundings. The devil is always trying to build a new road in your mind.
