Life giving tips

Start doing these things now and never stop:

1.  Fight hard for the things that make you feel alive. – The longer you have to wait for something, the more you will appreciate it when it finally arrives.  The harder you have to fight for something, the more it will be worth to you once you achieve it.  And the more pain you have to endure on your journey, the sweeter the arrival at your destination.  Most great things don’t come easy, but they are worth waiting for and fighting for. 

2.  Walk comfortably in your own shoes. – If you don’t follow the path others want you to follow they might become irritated.  Don’t worry about it.  Let them be.  It’s their problem, not yours.  So many people seem to have a clear idea of how other people should lead their lives, but have no clue how to lead their own.  So focus on your inner callings and keep paving your own path.  Remember that it is more useful to be aware of a single strength or weakness in yourself than to be aware of a thousand strengths and weaknesses in others. 

3.  Think only of the best, work only for the best, and expect only the best. – Be a defender of honesty and truth so that nothing can disturb your peace of mind.  Forget the mistakes of the past and press on to the achievements and lessons of today.  Give so much time to your own self-improvement that you have no time to criticize others.  Look at the sunny side of everything and make your optimism part of your religion.  Live in the faith that the whole world is on your side so long as you are true to the best that is you. 

4.  Work through down days. – After each difficulty you faced in the past was overcome, you became stronger and more able to meet the ones you face today.  Likewise, the difficulties you face today are preparing you for the challenges of tomorrow.  As this process of growth takes place remember that there are no mistakes.  The events you bring upon yourself as you journey forward, no matter how unpleasant, are necessary steps in order to learn what you need to know to reach the places you’ve chosen to go.

5.  Keep making the best of it. – Everything you go through grows you.  Sometimes you think doing something is a total waste of time, and then it ends up being one of the best things you ever did.  Don’t judge the day before it unfolds.  Amazing things can and do happen when you least expect them.  Let each day be a scavenger hunt in which you must find at least one of these things: a sincere laugh, an act of kindness, a realization, or a lesson that will lead you closer to your dreams. 

how to live happy and productive

Word of Encouragement:

Theme: The Road To Lasting Happiness and Productive Living

In this world there are so much happenings that have nothing to support our happiness and productivity such as unemployment, sicknesses, favoritism, insults, dismissals, divorces, delayed marriage, death of beloved ones, lower positions, having lower salaries, etc. Therefore it is practically difficult to ignore physical needs and challenges and easy to spiritual things but you can live a happy and productive life by choosing to live happy. A negative mind will never give you a positive and happy life. Life is better when you are happy, but life is best when other people are happy because of you. be inspired, give peace and share your smile with everyone.

Despite of living in this world full of deep challenges choose to live R²PG lifestyle:

R – Read, study, meditate and act

·the word of God day and night  (Joshua 1:8, Psalms 1:1-3)

 Many people think happiness and productive life come from having money, car, house, job, wife, husband or other worldly possessions. But the lasting one is purely by obeying God's Word, reading and studying it day and night and living by it. Don’t just read the word of God but submit to it so that it can sharp your thinking, talking and acting

R – Rejoice

·always (Philippians 4:4, 3:1, 2:17-18, Romans 5:3, Matthew 5:11-12)

Life starts inside out. Our inner self should not be influenced by what we can see or surrounded by. We should reach a point of saying that no matter what can happen to me Jesus Christ is with me in all things and He will see me through. If your altitude is not centered on the word of God, you will be negative at about yourself, others and everything. Stay near to Christ and to His word and you will be seeing things from His perspective. Have right perspective towards life

P – Pray

·without ceasing (1 Thessalonians 5:17, Colossians 4:2, Philippians 4:6, Luke 18:1-8, Ephesians 6:18)

Prayer is the way to communicate to God our Father like we do to our earthly Fathers. Therefore we need to have a prayerful altitude at all the time. We can only do this when we choose to rely totally on God for all our needs. It is impossible humanly speaking living in this world without having things to be worried about but lets convert all the worries into prayers. If you want to continue living happily and productively, continue praying more and more. Read the word in order to have words to pray about or telling God

G – Give thanks

·in everything (Ephesians 5:20, 1 Thessalonians 5:18)

Living in this world of competitions and comparisons, it is more difficult to give thanks to God and to others. Our happiness and victory come from thanking God about all things coming into our ways whether good or bad. We should realize that the more we thank God, the more He will convert bad circumstances surround us for our good. Every morning pray God to give you different eyes to be seeing more to thankful for. Reading and praying give us opportunity to thank God and appreciate what He is doing in our lives. Never compare yourself with others but with God. Run towards becoming more and more Christ like not any of the human beings

In conclusion: Iam encouraging you in the power of the Holy Spirit to start and continue: Reading the word of God day and night, Rejoicing always in the Lord, Praying without ceasing and giving thanks to God about all things happening in your way.
