BE PASSIONATE ENOUGH TO WHATEVER YOU FIND YOURSELF DOING

ARE YOU PASSIONATE ENOUGH?
It is another great day. Another day to go above the expectations of the crowd. Another day to look into your challenges and confront them with that burning desire inside you. Another day to know that it's not just enough to wake up and go out to work. But to go out with that zeal and passion for what you are doing. Note the key word 'PASSION'...
Joseph Campbell said "Passion will move men beyond themselves, beyond their shortcomings, and beyond their failures". Also, Ralph Waldo Emerson quoted "Enthusiasm is one of the most powerful engines of success. When you do a thing, do it with all your might. Put your whole soul into it. Stamp it with your own personality. Be active, be energetic and faithful, and you will accomplish your objective. Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm"...
As you step out this day, keep in your thoughts that while it's alright to dream and desire something, it's very important to be passionate about your daily pursuits. There comes a time in whatever you are doing that mere dreams and wishes are not enough. You must back it up with that burning desire, that exceptional commitment that is visible. It's not just enough to have an idea, you must be consumed by it if you want great results..
Ask yourself this morning: Are my ideas worth consuming me? No matter the discouragement you are facing, just stand up and move with that zeal and total commitment to that path you are taking..
ALL THE BEST.

The Christian Pareto Principle by OPTIMIST IBK

THE CHRISTIAN PARETO PRINCIPLE by Optimist IBK Text: Ps 90:12 So teach us to number our days that we may apply our hearts to wisdom. Any studious management or economy student must have heard of the Pareto principle. Which was discovered and promulgated by the Italian economist Vilfredo Pareto in 1906. The principle highlights the 80/20 rule which states that it is only 20% of the activities you engage in, that will give you 80% of the results you will get in life. While 80% of your activities you engage in gives you the remaining 20% result. It also states that it is only 20% of your customers that produce 80% of your corporate revenue while the remaining 20% gives you 80% of your revenue. The principle can be applied in every area of your life especially in the area of time management. How do you cope with trying to handle different “important” things daily and still have time for God? You have to work/go to school, at the same time you have to be in church most evenings and

8 Ways Couples Can Be Unfaithful Without Realizing It.

Image
I recently talked to an old friend whose marriage is in crisis. His wife has been having an ongoing affair with her personal trainer at the gym. The aftermath of the affair is ripping their family apart. What she naively assumed would just be a “harmless fling” is now having immeasurably devastating consequences for her marriage and their children. Infidelity destroys marriages. I see it every day. Typically, when we’re talking about “infidelity,” we’re referring only to a sexual affair. While sexual affairs might be the most destructive form of infidelity, there are many other ways people can be unfaithful in marriage. Smaller acts of “infidelity” often lead to a sexual affair. We need to safeguard our marriages from infidelity in ALL its forms. The literal definition of infidelity is simply broken trust or broken loyalty. If you want to protect your marriage from all forms of infidelity, please avoid the following behaviors. Preventing all nine of these acts of broken loyalty an

Stop Seeking For The Approval Of Men

Image
Galatians 1:10 ESV For am I now seeking the approval of man, or of God? Or am I trying to please man? If I were still trying to please man, I would not be a servant of Christ. Do you live under a burden of guilt and condemnation…feeling unrighteous, unworthy, and insecure? Are you a people-pleaser, always looking for the approval of others? If the answer to any of these is yes, then God wants to help you move beyond those feelings, Why? Because they not only affect your personal relationships, but also your prayer life and your ability to be promoted. And I can tell you from personal experience, they certainly steal your joy and your peace—and that is not God's will for you or anyone else. I believe there are two states that can cause us to desire the approval of people: being emotionally wounded and being caught in a pit of self-pity. Wounds that won’t heal Because I grew up in an environment of sexual and verbal abuse, I thought I was wounded beyond healing. W
