Your Response Determines Your Success

You’ve prepared everything, you wear your favorite cool clothes and drive your car out to have dinner with your friends. On the way, you suddenly come across a road accident, and the police there telling you to take another route, you cannot pass through until the road is cleared. Now, you have a few choices. You can choose to take another route to the restaurant, you can choose to stay there until the road is cleared, or you can choose to go back home.

Which one is your decision here is not really important. Because I just wanted to let you know that in our life, we always face this kind of ‘similar’ events. When you are pursuing for success, there will be a lot of obstacles you will face. And this is when your decision is important. When you face ‘road blocks’ just like the road accident in your life, what should you do? Change your strategy and chase for your dreams again? Or are you going to feel down and go back home? It is exactly the same metaphor here.

If your desire to go to a certain place is strong enough, once you get a feedback, you will change your strategy and try to reach there with other route. However, if your desire is not strong enough, maybe you will call your friends and told them that you’re not going to meet with them anymore because there is an accident on the road, just like the case above. What if you chose to stay until the road is cleared? Meaning that you are using the same strategy again, maybe you can achieve your goals, but it will be later.

So you can see now, how successful you can be can be reflected by the response that you give to the circumstances happening around you. In fact, to be successful is easy, it has got no secrets. All you need is a lot of hard work, and a lot of determination. These are the most crucial ingredients for success. But these are also the main reason why people cannot achieve success, because most of us are lack of determination, and we often procrastinate on the actions that we should be taken. So start changing your life from today, step by step, start reading, learning and taking massive actions. To Your Success.

Don’t Quit

When things go wrong as they sometimes will.
When the road you’re trudging seems all up hill.
When funds are low and the debts are high.
And you want to smile, but you have to sigh.
When care is pressing you down a bit.
Rest, if you must, but don’t you quit.
Life is queer with its twists and turns.
As every one of us sometimes learns.
And many a failure turns about
When he might have won had he stuck it out:
Don’t give up though the pace seems slow
You may succeed with another blow.
Success is failure turned inside out
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt.
And you never can tell how close you are.
It may be near when it seems so far:
So stick to the fight when you’re hardest hit
It’s when things seem worst that you must not QUIT.

Today I Will Make a Difference

Today I will make a difference. I will begin by controlling my thoughts. A person is the product of his thoughts. I want to be happy and hopeful. Therefore, I will have thoughts that are happy and hopeful. I refuse to be victimized by my circumstances. I will not let petty inconveniences such as stoplights, long lines, and traffic jams be my masters. I will avoid negativism and gossip. Optimism will be my companion, and victory will be my hallmark. Today I will make a difference.

I will be grateful for the twenty-four hours that are before me. Time is a precious commodity. I refuse to allow what little time I have to be contaminated by self-pity, anxiety, or boredom. I will face this day with the joy of a child and the courage of a giant. I will drink each minute as though it is my last. When tomorrow comes, today will be gone forever. While it is here, I will use it for loving and giving. Today I will make a difference.

I will not let past failures haunt me. Even though my life is scarred with mistakes, I refuse to rummage through my trash heap of failures. I will admit them. I will correct them. I will press on. Victoriously. No failure is fatal. It’s OK to stumble… . I will get up. It’s OK to fail… . I will rise again. Today I will make a difference.

I will spend time with those I love. My spouse, my children, my family. A man can own the world but be poor for the lack of love. A man can own nothing and yet be wealthy in relationships. Today I will spend at least five minutes with the significant people in my world. Five quality minutes of talking or hugging or thanking or listening. Five undiluted minutes with my mate, children, and friends.

Today I will make a difference.

Tips Agar Tidak Mudah Sakit Hati dan Kepahitan

1. Jangan berharap bahwa tidak akan ada orang yang menyakiti kita.

2.0Bila ada orang yang menyakiti kita, janganlah ingin membalasnya. Pembalasan bukanlah hak kita. Serahkan hak untuk membalas itu kepada Tuhan (Roma 12:12-20). Orang yang menyakiti orang lain, tidak akan luput dari hukuman Tuhan (ayat 19).

3.Saat ada orang yang menyakiti kita, anggaplah bahkan yakinlah bahwa tindakan orang itu adalah sebuah alat yang dapat dipakai Tuhan untuk mendatangkan kebaikan buat kita (Roma 8:28).

4. Ketika kita sakit hati, hendaklah kita mengerti bahwa situasi itu merupakan sarana pendidikan yang baik untuk kita mengenal jauh akan ketetapan-ketetapan Tuhan. 

5.Terimalah orang-orang yang menyakiti kita dengan kasih seperti Kristus telah menerima kita (Roma 15:7). Sebab pada umumnya mereka sedang membutuhkan kasih dan perhatian.

6.Ingatlah selalu betapa banyak kita telah menyakiti Tuhan dan betapa lebih banyak lagi Tuhan telah mengampuni kita.

No matter how your heart is grieving...

If you keep on believing...

The dream that you wish will come true...
