WHAT I LEARNED ABOUT THE REDWOOD TREES""

Image
I learned a great lesson today about the redwood trees, so I thought I should share it. I learned that though the redwood trees are some of the tallest trees in the world, they do not have especially deep roots, which consequently if alone, would be in great danger of falling over.  However, what thrilled me was the fact that redwoods tend to grow close to one another, and under the soil their roots bind together, adding strength and support so that even when faced with storms, the roots tighten around each other, making redwood forests some of the most steadfast in the world.  Here's the moral lesson; you cannot survive alone, you cannot succeed alone. You need covenant relationships and alignment with one another to achieve such solidarity, to excel in life no matter how good you are at what you do!  Like the redwood trees, find yourself a great support system! Do not let anyone  or your mind deceive you into thinking that you don't need anyone's help! T

Your life is right now! It's not later! It's not in that time of retirement. It's not when the lover gets here. It's not when you've moved into the new house. It's not when you get the better job. Your life is right now. It will always be right now. You might as well decide to start enjoying your life right now, because it's not ever going to get better than right now-until it gets better right now!

WEEKEND HEALTH TIP

Vitamin C is an essential part of any healthy diet, not only due to its positive effects on the immune system, but also because of its impact on our psychological well-being. Research on ascorbic acid has shown that it can balance the levels of hormones in our body, and ensure that stress hormones are only present when absolutely necessary.  A strong immune system is also important in the management of stress, as illness and fatigue can increase anxiety significantly. Fortunately, there is nothing better than vitamin C when it comes to boosting our body’s defenses.

FOOD FOR THOUGHT

A man can only rise, conquer, and achieve by lifting up his thoughts. On the other can help can remain weak, abject and miserable by refusing to lift up his thoughts.  Anyone willing to learn is on the pathway to life; anyone refusing, has lost his chance. 

QUOTE FOR THE DAY

A good disposition is a very important attribute to enjoying a happy life. It is the only way that you can get along with people.  It is a law of nature that if a person projects a belligerent attitude wherever he goes, people will respond in one of the two ways: Avoid him or answer him back with a belligerent attitude. On the other hand, if a person projects a kindly attitude wherever he goes, people will like him and project back a kindly attitude. Which would you rather choose? I choose to continue to have a good disposition. 

KNOW YOURSELF

One of the first steps you must take in your quest to developing your personality is to know yourself- discover who you are.  It is very important to know yourself in order to figure out what needs to be done to modify your existing personality.  Knowing yourself is not about knowing your favorite color, food and etc. It is about knowing your limitations and plus points. You must be aware of your abilities so that you can use them when the time comes. You must analyze yourself to be able to find out what it is that you lacking as well as ways to get better. Are you short tempered or do you panic easily or maybe you find it difficult to speak in a group? You must identify your struggles and learn better ways to break out of your limitations.
