As men are born to succeed, not fail..

'People become really quite remarkable when they start thinking that they can do things. When they believe in themselves they have the first secret of success'

~Norman Vincent Peale

Journey to a Life Prosperity

Prosperity is not an abundance of things, it is a state of mind. Mind is the actual instrument for poverty or prosperity, in which one regard the real meaning of 'abundance'. For many, the real abundance is in the hope of being rich or having a loaded bank account. And money is not the only kind of abundance! There is an abundance of opportunity, love, friendships, freedom, and the list goes on; but the most important thing is: You decide your journey to a life of prosperity.

'Wisdom is more important than money, jewels, and precious metals, because wisdom will get you all of those things' ~anonymous

Plant Good Thoughts

'Regard your thoughts as seeds, no different from the tiny seed of a carrot, or an acorn from an oak tree. When the gardener plants a seed, the first duty is accomplished. The second duty is to take care of the seed by watering it and ensuring that what needs to happen under the surface can happen. You don't dig up a seed on a daily basis to see if it's grown. You trust that it will. You know this because humans have been planting simple seeds for thousands of years, and most of them sprout under the right conditions.'

~Having it All by John Assaraf

Points to Ponder...

'Where there is pain, I wish you peace and mercy.

Where there is self-doubting, I wish you a renewed confidence in your ability to work through it.

Where there is tiredness, or exhaustion, I wish you understanding, patience, and renewed strength.

Where there is fear, I wish you love, and courage...'

Wealth, Success and Love..

A woman came out of her house and saw 3 old men with long white beards sitting in her front yard. She did not recognize them. She said "I don't think I know you, but you must be hungry. Please come in and have something to eat."

"Is the man of the house home?", they asked.

"No", she replied. "He's out."

"Then we cannot come in", they replied.

In the evening when her husband came home, she told him what had happened. "Go tell them I am home and invite them in!" The woman went out and invited the men in".

"We do not go into a House together," they replied.

"Why is that?" she asked.

One of the old men explained: "His name is Wealth," he said pointing to one of his friends, and said pointing to another one, "He is Success, and I am Love." Then he added, "Now go in and discuss with your husband which one of us you want in your home."

The woman went in and told her husband what was said. Her husband was overjoyed. "How nice!!", he said. "Since that is the case, let us invite Wealth.. Let him come and fill our home with wealth!"

His wife disagreed. "My dear, why don't we invite Success?"

Their daughter-in- law was listening from the other corner of the house. She jumped in with her own suggestion: "Would it not be better to invite Love? Our home will then be filled with love!"

Their daughter-in- law was listening from the other corner of the house. She jumped in with her own suggestion: "Would it not be better to invite Love? Our home will then be filled with love!"

"Go out and invite Love to be our guest." The woman went out and asked the 3 old men, "Which one of you is Love? Please come in and be our guest."

Love got up and started walking toward the house. The other 2 also got up and followed him. Surprised, the lady asked Wealth and Success: "I only invited Love, Why are you coming in?" The old men replied together: "If you had invited Wealth or Success, the other two of us would've stayed out, but since you invited Love, wherever He goes, we go with him. Wherever there is Love, there is also Wealth and Success!!!!! !"

Points to Ponder...

I received an email not so long time ago and I like this so-called 'Words of Wisdom'. Just to share this wonderfully written words and credits to the person who wrote this.

We are born with 2 eyes in front because we must not always look behind but see what lies ahead beyond ourselves...

We are born with 2 ears, one left and one right, so that we can hear both sides, collect both the compliments and criticisms...

We are born with a brain concealed in a skull, then no matter how poor we are, we are still rich and no one can steal what our brain contains...

We are born with 2 eyes, 2 ears but 1 mounth for the mouth is a sharp weapon. It can hurt, flirt and kill; remember our motto; talk less, listen and see more...

We are born with only 1 HEART, deep in our ribs, and it reminds us to appreciate and give love from deep within...
