Yipeeeeeeeeeeeee, the weekend is here :o)

Life's problems are something like this.

Hold it for a few minutes in your head & they seem OK.
Think of them for a long time & they begin to ache.
Hold it even longer & they begin to paralyze you. You will not be able to do anything.

It's important to think of the challenges or problems in your life,
but EVEN MORE IMPORTANT is to ‘PUT THEM DOWN' at the end of every day before You go to sleep.
That way, you are not stressed, you wake up every day fresh &strong & can handle any issue, any challenge that comes your way!

So, When you leave office today,

'PUT THEM DOWN TODAY! '

PRACTISING YOUR HAPPINESS...

Be Considerate...
Sherry Lansing, the former head of Twentieth-Century Fox, makes it a habit to return very phone call she receives the same day...no matter who it's from. How does she do it? She is extremely organized and comitted to being considerate. It's no coincidence she is also one of the most succesful executives in Hollywood.

Forgive Everyone...

Holding grudges and harboring resentment and unforgiveness will hurt u most of all. Clean the slate regularly. Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just in God forgave you.

Choose Happiness Over Being Right...
Consider this story. Two children playing in a park begin to argue. One says,"I hate you! I'm never going to play with you again!". For a few moments, they play separately and then they are back playing together and sharing toys. How do children manage to be so angry one minute and best of friends the next? The answer is simple-it is more important to them to be happy than to be right.

Expect The Best From Others...
When you genuinely like and respect yourself and expect that you will succeed, you gain the power to accept others in the same way. In turn, your positive expectations of other people will motivate them o fulfill your expectations more often-especially your children.

Agree And Disagree...
You and your friend may cheer for opposing teams, or you may be a republican and your friend democrat. Whatever the difference, it's important to respect one another. Within any relationship, there may be areas of serious disagreement. But if you respect one another's boundaries, your friendship will be strengthened.

Establish A Network Of Friends...
The old adage, " No man [woman] is an island," is true. You need people, and they need you. Research has shown that people who have many acquaintances and deep friendships live longer than those who are distrustful and never reach out to another person. If you want a friend, be a friend.

Be A Peacemaker...
It's not easy being a peacemaker, but it is rewarding. The world remembers its peacemakers with the Nobel Prize. There have been many distinguished recipients. But there are many others who live quiet lives, spreading peace like a sweet aroma to those around them. Are you seeking a happy life? Be a peacemaker.

See Your Breakthrough...
Norman Vincent Peale said that we tend to get what we expect. The reason most people never break out of the pack is because they can't visualize success. Instead, they are always rehearsing their past and present troubles. Practice positive thinking and see your problems solved.

Develop Discernment...
A person wh's always talking never learns to listen to his heart. Life-changing decisions should not be made on a whim. Before you sell a car, get married, or buy a house, take time to get still and consider what your heart is saying.

Read A Daily Devotion...
Reading is one of the keys to wisdom and knowledge. The search for wisdom is a journey of discovery which is fulfilling in and of itself. One of the best ways to gain wisdom is to read spiritual verses every day.

Respect Authority...
It makes good sense to respect authority. When you obey the speed limit, you avoid a ticket. Aristotle once said that a leader must first learn how to follow. Be faithful and willing to follow orders; then when you rise to the top spot, there will be others waiting to follow you.

Most importantly, its the happiness within you that counts. Make you a priority.

Inspirational Thought

Easter and Lent

Today is Ash Wednesday.

Easter is Christianity’s most ancient and important yearly feast. By the 3rd century a preparatory season of forty days — Lent — was joined to this holy time.

What do these seasons celebrate?

Easter celebrates the death and resurrection of Jesus of Nazareth, “powerful in word and deed”, who was seized and crucified by his enemies during the Passover feast in Jerusalem. On Easter morning he rose from the dead, appearing to his followers and assuring them of God’s favor. Easter recalls these events yearly.

The Roman Catholic Church celebrates the Lenten season from Ash Wednesday to the Mass of Holy Thursday. The Easter feast is celebrated from Holy Thursday evening till Easter Sunday, then through the Easter season which lasts till the feast of Pentecost.

They remind us of our great journey with Christ.

There are a few basic tasks that traditionally have been associated with Lent. These are fasting, almsgiving, and prayer.

• Fasting - Lent represents a spiritual training time to overcome evil. Some give up things they have an inordinate desire for, e.g. sweets, caffeine, etc. By giving these up, the person fasting learns to control a particular part of his or her life, which leads to greater self-discipline even when Lent is over. As such in Lent we are able to learn, examine, and get under control our material excesses. Whatever you decide to fast from, remember, as Steven Clark likes to say: "Lent is more than a diet." Lent is about spiritual results, not material ones. So, while losing a few pounds may be a nice side benefit, all fasting should be done for God's glory and spiritual growth.



• Prayer: Lent is a good time to develop or strengthen a discipline of daily prayer.



• Charity: While Lent is about giving something up (i.e. fasting), it is also about putting something positive in its place. The best way to remove vice is to cultivate virtue. Lent has been a traditional time of helping the poor and doing acts of charity and mercy.
  

Most importantly, let's be little bit more kind and patient during this season.
