Doubt is something that can kill dreams far more effectively than failure. When you doubt you start to believe that your dreams are impossible to achieve, and this state of mind is both negative and damaging. When you fail this may motivate you to try harder so that you succeed the next time you attempt to reach your dreams. If you doubt yourself and your abilities then the battle is already lost and your dreams will always be out of reach. Doubt can be like an invasive parasite, slowly eating away at your confidence and eroding your determination. Instead of doubting yourself look at all the impossible tasks that men and women have achieved over the years and use this as motivation to push yourself even further in order to achieve your dreams and reach your goals. When you feel doubt then you allow yourself to become sidetracked from your objectives. This can cause you to turn down the wrong path, or even to give up entirely. Failure can make you stronger because each time you try a...

W e’ve all been deeply hurt in some way…a betrayal by a spouse, a behind-your-back criticism from a friend, hateful judgment from someone at church, a false accusation by a co-worker, unfair treatment by a boss or a parent. And the deeper the hurt, the harder it is and the longer it takes us to forgive. But sometimes we simply don’t forgive. We harbor a grudge. Resentment builds in our hearts. We nurse the offense. As a result, we remain prisoner to our pain and we harm our brain. When someone hurts us, it’s natural and normal to feel pain. God created our brains to help us survive when we feel threatened. It’s called the fight-flight-freeze response generated in our emotional centers, primarily mediated by two almond shaped clusters of brain cells called the amygdalae. When the amygdalae are activated, a series of bio-chemical processes begin. The adrenal glands that lie on top of our kidneys release the stress hormone cortisol into our bodies and the brain releases neurotran...

This is one of the best set of advise l have ever read. 1. Take risks in your life. If you win, you can lead; if you lose, you can guide. 2. People are not what they say but what they do; so judge them not from their words but from their actions. 3. When someone hurts you, don't feel bad because it's a law of nature that the tree that bears the sweetest fruits gets maximum number of stones. 4. Take whatever you can from your life because when life starts taking from you, it takes even your last breath. 5. In this world, people will always throw stones on the path of your success. It depends on what you make from them - a wall or a bridge. 6. Challenges make life interesting; overcoming them make life meaningful. 7. There is no joy in victory without running the risk of defeat. 8. A path without obstacles leads nowhere. 9. Past is a nice place to visit but certainly not a good place to stay. 10. You can't have a better tomorrow if you are thinking about yesterday all the t...

How to Grow in Your Faith: Live in Grace by Charles Crutcher One of the most challenging ways to grow in our faith is to learn how to forgive. I don’t say this lightly, for it’s been difficult for me also, but one cannot follow Jesus and expect not to be challenged in this eventually. Maybe you read the first two sentences and it brings up some bad memories for you? My friend, I do not know all that you have been through just like you don’t know all I have been through, but if I can say something to you that will only help you, it is this: forgiveness doesn’t free the one whom hurt you, but it sets you, the prisoner, free. If you forgive those who sin against you, your heavenly Father will forgive you. But if you refuse to forgive others, your Father will not forgive your sins.-Matthew 6:14-15 Jesus speaks of the only way God won’t forgive us: it’s when we hold out on others. Either through a painful tragedy, a significant wrong, a spouse who cheated on you, a person w...

Ten Ways to Worship Without Music Building worship into your daily life by Tobin Perry             Worship is the process of surrendering your entire life into God's hands. Everything you do can—and should—be an act of worship. God designed us to worship Him with our whole lives, and there are actually spiritual habits that we can build into our lives that help us worship God more deeply? Here are ten habits than will build worship into your life on a daily basis. Worship through prayer. We often miss this important component of our prayer life. Think about the issues you usually pray about. How much of your prayer life is about you and how much of it is about God? Without a doubt God wants us to be able to share everything that is going on in our life. But he also wants us to get to know Him better. When we affirm who God is through our prayers, we put our prayer life in proper perspective. That's exactly ...
