HOW WELL DO YOU COMMUNICATE YOUR THOUGHTS?

Image
In the cause of my life,I reaslied that there was always a "disconnect in my communication with others". They either misunderstood me or picked quarrels because of what I said through text message or word of mouth. We depend so much upon words to express our desires and feelings, that rarely do we stop to consider just how ineffective those words tend to be. Not only do the intentions of our words get misunderstood, but often times they create conflict in our lives or the lives of others. Rarely do the words we speak capture the true feelings we wish to convey, and more often than not, come across quite differently than we had intended them to.  Because of this, I started practicing and developing the skill of using my words so that I can improve their effectiveness in properly expressing my thoughts and feelings.  Someone knows what I am talking about? All you need to do is start practicing and developing your skills of communicating your true thoughts. 

QUOTE FOR THE DAY

Image

YOU VERSUS OTHERS!

Image
There is no good reason not to be grateful, because the truth is, our happiness in life depends upon the attitudes we espouse. Once we recognize that we are the captains of our vessels, we also understand that no one else has the power or ability to ruin our day, unless of course, we give that power to them.  Others have tried to ruin my day before- they tried to sour my attitudes, my outlooks, my hopes, and my ambitions, and I let them.  Consequently, over the course of many bad days, I finally came to realize that my awful feelings were not a result of my actions, but of my reactions to those actions. In other words, I let others allow me to make my own days miserable.  It was not that the day was bad, or even that those individuals made the day bad, it was me. I let their words and actions affect the peace and serenity within me. So, as soon as I understood this truth, I deviced ways to avoid letting others determine my attitudes in life. You too can!

If you had enough force to bend yourself, you've got enough force to straighten yourself back up again!

GOOD MORNING FRIENDS.....

Image
The purpose of life is joy! When you are joyful, you attract the highest and best in every area of your life. Joy increases to the exact degree that you deliberately increase your good thoughts, good words, and good actions. I have found out in my life that the easiest way to increase my joy is to religiously practice gratitude until I am a gratitude machine.

FOOD FOR THOUGHT

Image
It is very important that we take the time to listen carefully, honestly, and genuinely, for it is in truly listening with our hearts that we come to discover that deep awareness.  The majority of us are quick to share our opinions, wisdom, and thoughts rather candidly, however, rarely do we listen without the intention of responding. It is by listening that we learn, and it is in the hearing that we grow. 

WE ARE ALL UNIQUE INDIVIDUALS.....

Image
I have seen people lose their enthusiasm for things that they love because of the discouragement of others. I have also seen people who never are satisfied with the work that they do because they constantly compare it to the work of others who are more talented than they are.  We are all unique individuals, with different talents and abilities. Therefore, it is important that we keep in mind the fact that though we may not have the greatest talent in a certain area, we can still enjoy the work that we do in another area, and we can still be very proud that we work to the limits of our talents, or even push those limits further to improve on our talents.  Let us encourage and provide nourishment to one another!
