STAY FOCUSED&LIVE A HEALTHY LIFE!!

Here is a great story that got me thinking

"I was jogging one day and i noticed a person in front of me, about 1/4 of mile. I could tell he was running a little slower than me and I thought, good, i shall try to catch him. I had about a mile to go my path before i needed to turn off.
So i started running faster and faster. Every block, i was gaining on him just a little bit. After just a few minutes i was only about 100 yards behind him, so i really picked up the pace and push myself. You would have thought i was running in the last leg of London Olympic competition. I was determined to catch him.

Finally, i did it! I caught and passed him by. On the inside i felt so good. "I beat him" of course, he didn't even know we were racing. After i passed him, i realized i had been sofocused on competing against him that i had missed my turn. I had gone nearly six blocks past it. I had to turn around and go all back. "

Isn't that what happens in life when we focus on competing with co-workers, neighbors, friends, family, trying to outdo them or trying to prove that we are more successful or more important? We spend our time and energy running after them and we miss out on our own paths to our God given destinies. The problem with unhealthy competition is that its a never ending cycle.
There will always be somebody ahead of you, someone with better job, nicer car, more money in the bank, more education, a prettier wife, a more handsome husband, better behaved children, etc. But realize that "You can be the best that you can be, you are not competing with no one." Some people are insecure because they pay too much attention to what others are doing, where others are going, wearing & driving. Take what God has given you, the height, weight & personality. Dress well & wear it proudly! You 'll be blessed by it.

Stay focused and live a healthy life..

The Beauty of Sacrifice,,,,,

Skies cry to let the earth grow,
Sun walks away to let the moon rule,

Stars give their brightness to the moon to let the night pass by,
Clock runs continuously to let time go on smoothly.

So keep in mind, life is full of sacrifices.
Some may benefit you, some may not.

Those which won't will surely pay back as;

The earth burns to fill the skies again,
The moon has to go away in despair to give sun what belonged originally to it,

Stars need to be there; as it fills up the night sky with life,
And clock is useless, if time plays on its own!!

PLEDGE OF A GROWING PERSON

I am a person with a history to be respected, a present to enjoy and a future to build. I am fully capable of living my life to the full.

I do not need any human being to make me complete although a respectful, equal and mutual relationship will enlarge my life.

I will not be sidetracked by unhealthy relationships again. I will not build friendships, go out with, or become intimate with anyone who does not regard me with utmost respect.

I want equality, honesty and trust in my relationships. I am better off single, alone and lonely than I am "sharing" my life with a person who lies to me, cheats on me and disrespects me.

I will start to move my life in a healthy direction despite the difficult hurdles that are in my path.

Experiencing Life.....

95 days after my birth,
I knew who is my mother..
90 days after my first syllable,
I knew wHat words are..
30 mins after my loved one left
me,
I knew what tears are..
25 feet off the ground over the
cliff,
I knew what is it to be alive..
20 days after my Dear ones death,
I knew that life must go on..
1 week after my Friend left me,
I came to know how does it feel
to b alone..
Every single fraction of time no
matter however u divide,
teaches u something..
Experience is the only way 2 get
through this life.
Feel it.
Live it.
Face it...
Love the people unconditionally ..
Because in your next life you may never meet Them..

The Beauty of Letting go....

To let go isn't to forget, not to think about, or ignore.
It doesn't leave feelings of anger, jealousy, or regret.

Letting go isn't about winning or losing.
It's not about pride and it's not about how you appear, and it's not obsessing or dwelling on the past.

Letting go isn't blocking memories or thinking sad thoughts, and it doesn't leave emptiness, hurt, or sadness.
It's not about giving in or giving up.

Letting go isn't about loss and it's not about defeat.
To let go is to cherish the memories, but to overcome and move on.

It is having an open mind and confidence in the future.
Letting go is learning and experiencing and growing.

To let go is to be thankful for the experiences that made you laugh, made you cry, and made you grow.
It's about all that you have, all that you had, and all that you will
soon gain.

Letting go is having the courage to accept change, and the strength to keep moving.

LETTING GO IS GROWING UP.
It is realizing that the heart can sometimes be the most potent remedy.
To let go is to open a door, and to clear a path and
… SET YOURSELF FREE.

Like they say........
When something is taken from you......
God is just clearing your hands so that you can have plenty of room to receive something bigger and better!

And that's the beauty of letting go........

Be blessed!!!!!!!!
