Don’t compare. Be unique.
Don’t fight your misfortune. Transform it.
Don’t avoid failure. Use it.
Don’t dwell on mistake. Learn from it.
Don’t back down. Go around.
Don’t close your eyes. Open your mind.
Don’t run from life. Embrace it….

Dear Readers,
The following message was sent to me by a dear friend.
I hope that you will enjoy it as much as I do. The name of it is…..
DIRECTIONS TO OUR FATHER’S HOUSE.
Make a Right onto Believeth Blvd. Keep straight and go through
the Green Light, which is Jesus Christ. There, you must turn onto
the Bridge of Faith, which is over troubled water.
Now when you get off the bridge, make a Right turn and Keep
Straight. You are on the King’s Highway – Heaven-bound.
Keep going for three miles: One for the Father, One for the Son,
and One for the Holy Spirit.
Then take the Grace Blvd exit. From there, make a Right turn
on Gospel Lane. Keep Straight and then make another Right on
Prayer Road. As you go on your way, Yield Not to the traffic on
Temptation Ave. Also, avoid SIN STREET because it is a DEAD
END. Pass up Envy Drive, and Hate Avenue. Also, pass
Hypocrisy Street, Gossiping Lane, and Backbiting Blvd.
However, you will have to go down Long-suffering Lane,
Persecution Blvd. and Trials and Tribulations Ave, but that’s all
right, because VICTORY Street is straight ahead! AMEN!
( Author Unknown )
Now Readers, send these directions to your friends so they
will not get lost, for it would be a shame for them to miss the
wonderful services held there!
All My Love & Prayers,
Kimmie
Zero was invented in India by Indian mathematicians dating as early as 5th century. They widely used it in calculations, astronomy and astrology. Zero was spread by Arabians to the Europe and there on it was spread all over. Before this, all Europeans used roman numerical which were difficult to calculate on as they were in the form of Symbols, lengthy and had limits.
It’s quite possibly the most commonly used phrase in the history of advice: Be yourself. But it’s such a vague adage. What do they really mean when they tell you to be yourself? And is it really as easy as it sounds? Steps to Find yourself. You can’t be yourself if you don’t know, understand, and accept yourself first.
Stop caring about how people perceive you. The fact is, it really doesn’t matter. It’s impossible to be yourself when you’re caught up in wondering “Do they think I’m funny? Does he think I’m fat? Does she think I’m stupid?” To be yourself, you’ve got to let go of these concerns and just let your behavior flow, with only your consideration of others as a filter—not their consideration of you.
Be honest and open. What have you got to hide? You’re an imperfect, growing, learning human being. If you feel ashamed or insecure about any aspect of yourself —and you feel you have to hide those parts of you, whether physically or emotionally —then you have to come to terms with that and learn to convert your so-called flaws into individualistic quirks. Relax. Stop worrying about the worst that could happen, especially in social situations. So what if you fall flat on your face? Or get spinach stuck in your teeth? Learn to laugh at yourself both when it happens and afterwards. Turn it into a funny story that you can share with others. It lets them know that you’re not perfect and makes you feel more at ease, too. Develop and express your individuality. Whether it’s your sense of style, or even your manner of speaking, if your preferred way of doing something strays from the mainstream, then be proud of it. Have a Productive Day. Accept that some days you’re the pigeon, and that some days, you’re the statue. People might raise eyebrows and even make fun, but as long as you can shrug and say “Hey, that’s just me” and leave it at that, people will ultimately respect you for it, and you’ll respect yourself.
There’s a difference between being yourself and being inappropriately unrestrained. You might have your opinions, dreams, and preferences, but that doesn’t mean you have to disrespect others by forcing them to acknowledge your views. If fads or trends strike your fancy, don’t avoid them! Being yourself is all about reflecting who you are inside in what you do, and what you like is what you like, no matter how trendy it is (or not trendy, for that matter)! As the famous song goes, “Life’s not worth a damn until you can say, I am what I am” – when you can sincerely say it, you will know that you can be yourself.
Is the glass half full or half empty? Is the responsibility, a privilege or a duty? Is the help we’ve been asked to give, an opportunity or an obligation? Do we “get” to do it, or do we “have” to do it? Attitude is everything and luckily for us our attitudes are a matter of choice. We can pick the attitudes we want much as we pick our out clothes or hairstyles. Nothing or no one in the past or present can dictate our attitudes. No one else deserves credit or blame for how we choose to process reality. For better or worse, our attitudes are ours alone. We all have the same world to respond to. What we practice, we become. If we practice looking at each day as a new adventure, so it will be.
If you look into the mirror and open your eyes
you’ll see each day your smile dies
cause with each day you begin to see
that life isn’t what its meant to be
we’re killing and cheating, lying and stealing
cursing, drinking, smoking, beating
if this was what life was intended to be
we’d all have black wings on the back of thee
If life were meant to be this way
the world would be black and the trees wouldn’t sway
the wind would not caress our cheeks
we wouldn’t have duties throughout each week
but here we are, killing our souls
partying, mating, diminishing what’s whole
we have to much fun poisoning our skins
although we understand its the only one we live in
maybe if we could open our eyes
so many innocent people wouldn’t die
drunk driving, suicide, all these tragedies
should be enough for us to see
if we open our eyes to all these facts
look back and see all the wrong chosen paths
we can make our life what its meant to be
when you can look in the mirror and be happy
