The Poison That Kills dreams
The Poison That Kills dreams
If someone put poison in your water …
Would you drink it ?
The obviously answer is ‘NO’!
Chemical poisons that we can see, taste, touch, and smell can fatal.
Fortunately we are intelligent enough to knw that we do not ingest poisonous substances…
But what about our mind?
Negativity is the poison that kills dreams !
And we need to stop it before it contaminates our lives ,
Negative starts with negative thoughts,
How do we eliminate this poison? Monitor the thoughts that you allow into your mind… ... every thought! How do we eliminate this poison? Monitor the thoughts that you allow into your mind… ... every thought!
If you find yourself thinking negative thoughts… …think again. Strive to think positive, empowering, and supportive thoughts. If you find yourself thinking negative thoughts… …think again. Strive to think positive, empowering, and supportive thoughts.

'PUT THE GLASS DOWN TODAY!
When you leave office today . Study this small story, hope that makes a BIG change in you .
Professor began his class by holding up a glass with some water in it. He held it up for all to see & asked the students,' How much do you think this glass weighs?'
'50gms!' .... '100gms!' .....'125gms' ..the students answered.
'I really don't know unless I weigh it,' said the professor, 'but, my question is: What would happen if I held it up like this for a few minutes?'
'Nothing' the students said .
'Ok what would happen if I held it up like this for an hour ?' the professor asked.
'Your arm would begin to ache' said one of the student
You're right, now what would happen if I held it for a day? '
'Your arm could go numb, you might have severe muscle stress & paralysis & have to go to hospital for sure!' ventured another student & all the students laughed.
'Very good. But during all this, did the weight of the glass change? ‘ asked the professor.
'No '
Then what caused the arm ache & the muscle stress?
' The students were puzzled.
'Put the glass down!' said one of the students
'Exactly!' said the professor.' 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 (problems) in your life, but EVEN MORE IMPORTANT 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, Remember
'PUT THE GLASS DOWN TODAY!

SCARS OF LIFE
SCARS OF LIFE
Some years ago,
on a hot summer day
in South Florida ,
a little boy decided to go
for a swim in the old swimming hole behind his house.
In a hurry to dive into
the cool water,
he ran out the back door, leaving behind shoes, socks, and shirt as he went.
He flew into the water,
not realizing that as he swam toward the middle of the lake, an alligator was swimming toward the shore.
His father, working in the yard, saw the two as they got closer and closer together.
In utter fear,
he ran toward the water,
yelling to his son as loudly
as he could.
Hearing his voice,
the little boy became alarmed and made a U-turn
to swim to his father.
It was too late.
Just as he reached his father, the alligator reached him.
From the dock,
the father grabbed his little boy by the arms
just as the alligator
snatched his legs..
That began an incredible
tug-of-war between the two. The alligator was much stronger than the father,
but the father was much
too passionate to let go.
A farmer happened to drive by, heard his screams,
raced from his truck,
took aim and shot the alligator.
Remarkably, after weeks and weeks in the hospital,
the little boy survived.
His legs were extremely scarred by the vicious attack
of the animal.
And, on his arms,
were deep scratches
where his father's fingernails dug into his flesh in his effort
to hang on to the son he loved.
The newspaper reporter
who interviewed the boy
after the trauma,
asked if he would
show him his scars.
The boy lifted his pant legs. And then, with obvious pride, he said to the reporter,
'But look at my arms.
I have great scars
on my arms, too.
I have them because
my Dad wouldn't let go.'
You and I can identify
with that little boy.
We have scars, too.
No, not from an alligator,
but the scars of a painful past. Some of those scars
are unsightly and have
caused us deep regret.
But, some wounds,
my friend,
are because God has refused
to let go.
In the midst of your struggle, He's been there
holding on to you..
The Scripture teaches that
God loves you.
You are a child of God.
He wants to protect you
and
provide for you in every way. But sometimes we foolishly wade into dangerous situations, not knowing what lies ahead.. The swimming hole of life
is filled with peril -
and we forget
that the enemy is waiting
to attack.
That's when the tug-of-war begins - and if you have
the scars of His love
on your arms,
be very, very grateful.
He did not and will not ever let you go.
Please pass this on
to those you love..
God has blessed you,
so that you
can be
a blessing to others.
You just never know
where
a person is in his/her life
and
what they are going through. Never judge another
person's scars,
because you don't know
how they got them.
Also,
it is so important that
we are not selfish,
to receive the blessings
of these messages,
without forwarding them
to someone else.
Right now,
someone needs to know that God loves them,
and you love them, too -
enough to not let them go .
Always
Tell Your Family
And Friends
How Much
You Love Them!!!
