Until you make peace with which you are, you'll never be content with what you have
Peace is not the absence of conflict; it is the ability to handle conflict by peaceful means.
Peace can come about through a mutual understanding.
To instill peace in yourself, you must build slowly and follow through with your plans.
Some people find that they already have these traits. Some people have to work to attain them.
One will build peace if one is a conscious worker.
One can create peace with the right ingredients.
Being willing must be embedded in you to create harmony amongst yourself and the people around you.
You cannot always change or control your external conditions, but you can certainly bring changes into your inner world, which will in turn affect your actions, reactions and external world.
Disagreements sometimes lead to strife, discord and even separation.
You can have peace even with a disagreeable understanding.
Disagreements sometimes lead to strife, discord and even divorce.
Divorce you are able to use several ways.
You can divorce you spouse, or you can divorce your closest friends.
But when you divorce God or his people, you are separating your family for a
opportunity to be part of the greatest Family.
Your family is the most valuable creation there is.
God has set his whole course of His creation, on having a family.
You can have peace even with a disagreeable understanding
Peace is not the absence of conflict; it is the ability to handle conflict by peaceful means.
When there is no peace in the house,
the children in the house are the ones to feel the repercussion of the problems and separations.
There are cases that feuds have continued, and the rival’s never knew the original
Or understand the reason.
Sometimes ones did not even comprehend the confliction with each other.
And other times it was because of interpretations and feelings.
You will never have peace until there is a mutual agreement.
You will never find harmony of mind until you listen to your heart.
Attitude is a major factor in every misunderstanding.
The way to have peace is if we let go of wanting to change the past and wanting to control the future.
Start dealing with the present while preparing to fulfill our goals and obstacles that lies ahead.

Definitions of respect
There are definitions of respect.
The first refers to being polite or civil to those we meet or with whom we interact.
This would include being respectful to a teacher.
Family will treat other family members respectfully during visits or gatherings.
It also includes strangers with polite respect.
Another meaning however, refers to our feelings toward those who merit respect through honorable living.
We admire their commitment or standards.
For example, we might respect a sailor who gave up winning a boat race to save a man overboard.
Yet if we were to interact with these people, we would likely treat them with respectful or polite manners, regardless of our feelings about their transgressions.
Ultimately, we can treat people respectfully because they are human made in the image of God. even if we do not honor or admire their acts.
Most of all, being respectful in others words is a Christian life.
As parents and leaders, we are to honor both definitions. We want children not only to treat us with respect using good manors, but also to honor our guidance and words, which we seek to exemplify through Christ like living.\
Respect is an expression of our sense of universal brotherhood or sisterhood,
a testimony of our membership in the human family.
It acknowledges our common humanity and shows our reverence for children of God.
The gospel teaches us that we are to hold the same esteem for others, that we hold for ourselves (Mt. 7:12).
Acting disrespectfully suggests or do not esteem the other person as ourselves.
For example, prejudice is a result of disrespect for our fellowman.
We cannot participate in attitudes of prejudice without distancing ourselves from others. True respect then, comes as we develop our ability to love our brothers and our sisters as ourselves.
What we say about people in their absence should be what we would say to them
with love, if they were present.
Sympathy-
Harmony of or agreement in feeling, as between persons or on the part of one person with respect to another.
Care- a troubled or burdened state of mind; worry; concern
Respect allows one to build trust with others.
1. Respect allows you to build a relationships.
2. It provides one with “an entry,: into the other side.
3. In addition, according respect can make the key difference in the direction of the conflict.
4. Those who are respected within the community are most likely to bring or encourage peace.
5. Its presence can lead to a positive change, while its absence may lead to even more disturbances.

Who's to Judge?
Judge- to form an opinion, to decide as an arbitrator or umpire.
Christ did not teach using stipulations but guidelines.
Christ’s only asked and desire was for submission and a willing heart.
We judge ourselves by what we feel capable of doing, while others judge us by what we have already done.
You can close your eyes to the things you do not want to see, but you cannot close your heart to the things you do not want to feel.”
When a friend is in trouble, do not annoy him by asking if there is anything you can do. Think up something appropriate and do it.
A great deal of our judging of others—is mis-judging or unjust judging, because of the fragmentariness of our knowledge of their personal lives and experiences. It would often grieve us, and make us sorely ashamed of ourselves, if, when we have judged another severely—we should be shown a glimpse of the other's inner life, revealing hidden sorrows and struggles which are the cause of the things in him, which we have blamed so much. We have only a most partial view of another's life—and cannot form absolutely unerring judgments on what we see and know. We see only one side of an act, when there may be another side which altogether changes its quality. On the back side of the tapestry, is but a blurred mass of yarn; while the other side, is exquisite beauty. Life is full of similar two-sided views of people and of acts. We see a man out in the world, and he appears harsh and stern. We see him some day at home where his invalid child lies and suffers, and there he is another man—kindly, thoughtful, with almost motherly gentleness. It would have been most unjust to this man—if we had made up our judgment of him from the outside view alone, without seeing him in his child's sick-room.
“We can never judge the lives of others, because each person knows only their own pain and renunciation. It's one thing to feel that you are on the right path, but it's another to think that yours is the only path.”
Christ did not come to judge, he came to reach out to ones. Jn. 3: 17
Jn. 12: 47, Mt. 9: 9-13

The past my guide
The past should be the guide in my life.
Wrong decisions are easy to judge when I did not have to give or come up with the answer.
What lies behind us and what lies before us are small matters compared to what lies within us.
Looking behind will just be stumblingblocks for the path ahead. Change is to be made for trying to correct any past failures or faults.
Fearing change will never let me get ahead.
The pathways. successes, and mistakes of my Forefathers should be an easy guide to live by.

Being Selfish or Generous.
Generous-“To reach out to ones in need.”
Selfish- “Not being considerate or thoughtful”
“Usually is understood as, one who does not share”.
On the other hand I could be called conceited,
if I do not pay attention to others.
My life would be one sided.
If I would seclude myself from society,
I would have a hard time continuing to add more knowledge and understandings.
without valuing other ones thoughts or ideas.
Life in this world would really be tough.
If you or ones are alone without help through struggles of life,
is life enjoyable or a challenge?
As long as I am reaching to help by pulling ones up, and not by pushing ones down.
Ones will be there for you.
Are my thoughts and actions Christ like?

Finding a Special love
Love is a strong and emotional feeling.
My first memory of Love,
I can recall my Parents expressing their feelings through telling me and by wrapping their arms around me was a feeling of security.
That was one way they expressed their Love.
Even at an infant’s stage, the child’s mind can feel the expression of love from their Parents.
The feeling was created to give and to receive.
The professing of love is detrimental to ones life.
As a plant needs water, a person needs Love.
Without water the plant will die.
A Person without love, or feels they are loved, Mankind has no hope.
In the case of suicide, the common denominator is lack of feeling Loved and Respected.
Enjoyment is prompted by a loving feeling or caring for ones and what you do.
Being completely satisfied is a necessity of life.
A common thought about a daily employment “I hate my Job”.
What really creates that thought, a lack of desire or pleasure?
Finding a job you enjoy or the feeling of appreciation is a need.
The same goes for a Marriage.
Finding a companion that will fulfill your needs and interests will be one of the main reasons to enjoy life.
But finding your Creator is the most important way to feel your life is complete.
When you get to the point when you do not feel like you can reach out and touch the one you need during tough times, who moved?
You need to feel excitement and pleasure, when you walk into the doors of your Home, or you’re Church.
“Am I really doing my job or keeping the trust the other one needs for me to keep peace and fulfillment in our relationship”.
Relationships should have the feelings of love, respect is very important.
Keeping or finding that 1st love, my memory was trying to find that special person.
I am very blest that I found that peace within. After I found that special person I felt complete.
To maintain that special feeling, takes effort from both in your relationship.
There is no room for selfishness, giving is a necessity.
Not sharing the wrong thoughts of your mind, blaming the other person will get you nowhere.
Cutting off ones hands during disagreements, could affect you when you need a hand to keep from falling down.
During your disagreements, start resolving the issue with love and kindness,
as a child is being raised, correcting with care and mercy is a must.
Love will last forever, where discouragement and wrong correction will damage and scar ones permanently.

Mercy-
Mercy- “a compassionate treatment, a kind of forgiveness”
Leniency- “clemency to judgment “
Showing Mercy is a need in cases of lack of understanding or information.
Without full knowledge, there is a danger of rushing to swift judgments.
I heard my Grandfather say, “There will be times you hope you will have mercy shown unto you.”
There will be predicaments that ones will come into where they will need mercy shown.

Valuable Lives
Your family is the most valuable creation there is.
God has set his whole course of His creation, on having a family.
You can have peace even with a disagreeable understanding
Peace is not the absence of conflict; it is the ability to handle conflict by peaceful means.
When there is no peace in the house,
the children in the house are the ones to feel the repercussion of the problems and separations.
There are cases that feuds have continued, and the rival’s never knew the original
Or understand the reason.
Sometimes ones did not even comprehend the confliction with each other.
And other times it was because of interpretations and feelings.
You will never have peace until there is a mutual agreement.
You will never find harmony of mind until you listen to your heart.
Attitude is a major factor in every misunderstanding.
The way to have peace is if we let go of wanting to change the past and wanting to control the future.
Start dealing with the present while preparing to fulfill our goals and obstacles that lies ahead.

Necessity of Communication
Communication is a demand in life.
Expressing oneself will need to start with two open minds.
If it would be a marriage, family, business or in friendships,
Discussions or conversations are necessary.
It is just a courtesy to pay attention to ones that are trying
to relate to you their inner thoughts or needs.
In your family if you do not share ones ideas or problems,
It would be very hard to keep peace and love within each ones life.
Misunderstandings will take place in everyone’s life.
There are always ways to repair miscommunications.
Communication is having a sympathetic attitude while conversation with ones.
Training someone to work with the public, ones need to be attentive while ones release their feelings.
Letting ones speak their heart and emotions, usually will help ones bring peace
to their minds and soul.
Now is there is also selfish communication.
Most of the time, you can find this definition in process on the US Senate floor.
Do not make Assumptions. Find the courage to ask questions and to express what you really want. Communicate with others as clearly as you can to avoid misunderstandings, sadness and drama. With just this one agreement, you can completely transform your life.
The longing we have to communicate clearly and directly with people is always hindered by how we express concern about our messages will be received.
The way we communicate with others and with ourselves ultimately determines the quality of our lives.
But you must realize that by holding yourself back, you are not only suppressing your feelings, knowledge and opinion. You are also denying the other person the opportunity to learn about you. This can affect you greatly in the long run.
Good relationships have a lot of benefits. It brings two individuals together. This is why communication skills for couples or communication skills in marriage assume significance. This also clears disagreements and misunderstandings between two people if there is proper communication between the two.
Relationships can work mutually only when we listen properly and speak frankly to the other. Thus, communication skills in relationships have great significance in bringing overall progress and better relationships with each and everybody.

Attaining a life of peace
“Sometimes ones did not even comprehend the confliction within ones, and with others.”
When the soul has come to the place where it can no longer take it, it snaps. There are many souls who pride themselves that they can "take it." They spend their entire lives convincing themselves and others they are tough. They are tough. Their insides have become hardened. They have no peace, but they proclaim great peace with themselves and with others. That’s because they must prove it and if they say they have peace, that’s all the proof they need. They become very angry if you question their inner peace. They are the children of experts. They were brought up by the new thoughts coming from the new storytellers. But others, whose hearts have not become hardened, but merely overcome, become "mentally ill" and have to be put away. Perhaps their mental illness leads them to suicide, or murder. There are other forms losing control takes, but none of them are pretty to look at.
To instill peace in yourself, you must build slowly and follow through with your plans. Some people find that they already have these traits. Some people have to work to attain them. One will build peace if one is a conscious worker. One can create peace with the right ingredients. The political and personal will must be embedded in you to create harmony amongst yourself and the people around you. One important factor to constantly remind yourself is that of the sheer patience one must have to build peace. It does not come within days
.Until you make peace with who you are, you will never be content with what you have
When the power of love completes the love of power the world will know peace
Peace is not the absence of conflict; it is the ability to handle conflict by peaceful means.
You will never find peace of mind until you listen to your heart.
Ones have no peace, but they proclaim great peace with themselves and with others. That is because they must prove it and if they say they have peace, that’s all the proof they need.
One important factor to constantly remind yourself is that of the sheer patience one must have to build peace.

Attitude-
It is our attitude at the beginning of a difficult undertaking or misunderstanding, which more than anything else, will determine its successful or unsuccessful outcome.”
I cannot change the wind, but I can always adjust the sails to reach my destination.
Attitudes are nothing more than habits of thoughts, and habits can be acquired. “An action repeated becomes an attitude realized.”
In the beginning the first feelings that were created, shown and expressed
Were the feelings of Love, Giving, Sharing, and Caring.
But do the act of reason, the attributes changed; Man became (Selfish, Hateful, Covetous, Resentful and Bitter).
That is why God made a way to give Man the ability for a new start.
A new Start was created and a made way through a transformation of Life.
Only the act of reconciliation, will be the way to put Mankind back into his
Rightful place.
Through expression of spiritual feelings and guidance, will be the way to
Bring forth life filled with Love, Joy, Peace and Happiness back into harmony.
Living through adjectives of Love, our lives will grow to full maturity and completeness.
Man was created to live a life that would flourish to have a Family that would be
Consummated to Completeness.
There are messages that are called “Prosperity Messages or Teachings”,
Living the message of Man. has the ability to create problems and difficulties
In ones lives.
The life of that will follow will bring forth greed, jealousy, power and unhappiness
Love is the only message that will bring Life to its Fullness and Happiness.
Attitude is the way you mentally look at the world around you. It is how you view your environment and your future. It is the focus you develop toward life itself.”
You cannot control what happens to you, but you can control your attitude toward what happens to you, and in that, you will be mastering change rather than allowing it to master you.”
If you will call your troubles experiences, and remember that every experience develops some latent force within you, you will grow vigorous and happy, however adverse your circumstances may seem to be.”
The Acts of Mercy and Charity will bring you a treatment of compassion, respect
and giving to help ones in need.
Consequently we are here under the mercy of God.
Judgments without full understandings, is like Emotions without Love and Compassion.
Emotion is an effectuated mental feeling, and being devotional in actions of care and respect in regards to other Children of God.
Showing Judgment without Mercy in the World is known as controlling others.
The nest way to see if actions have been in the wrong is by the outcome.
As I am traveling and I am looking for directions and the map that was provided
did not take me to the destination I was headed for,
Could it be that the map was in need for a update.
Not to say that the format or the layout of the original map was wrong,
It could be that others structures have been built upon the old roads.
So due to the new development, a new path was designed.
As long as the structure of the road is still in tact and will last as long as the original, a moderation of new paving is all that is needed.
As long as the Head Foreman and Master Designer is in charged,
I should have no worries to drive on the road that will lead to my final destination.
I cannot change the wind, but I can always adjust the sails to reach my destination.
Attitudes are nothing more than habits of thoughts, and habits can be acquired. “An action repeated becomes an attitude realized.”
In the beginning the first feelings that were created, shown and expressed
Were the feelings of Love, Giving, Sharing, and Caring.
But do the act of reason, the attributes changed; Man became (Selfish, Hateful, Covetous, Resentful and Bitter).
That is why God made a way to give Man the ability for a new start.
A new Start was created and a made way through a transformation of Life.
Only the act of reconciliation, will be the way to put Mankind back into his
Rightful place.
Through expression of spiritual feelings and guidance, will be the way to
Bring forth life filled with Love, Joy, Peace and Happiness back into harmony.
Living through adjectives of Love, our lives will grow to full maturity and completeness.
Man was created to live a life that would flourish to have a Family that would be
Consummated to Completeness.
There are messages that are called “Prosperity Messages or Teachings”,
Living the message of Man. has the ability to create problems and difficulties
In ones lives.
The life of that will follow will bring forth greed, jealousy, power and unhappiness
Love is the only message that will bring Life to its Fullness and Happiness.
Attitude is the way you mentally look at the world around you. It is how you view your environment and your future. It is the focus you develop toward life itself.”
You cannot control what happens to you, but you can control your attitude toward what happens to you, and in that, you will be mastering change rather than allowing it to master you.”
If you will call your troubles experiences, and remember that every experience develops some latent force within you, you will grow vigorous and happy, however adverse your circumstances may seem to be.”
The Acts of Mercy and Charity will bring you a treatment of compassion, respect
and giving to help ones in need.
Consequently we are here under the mercy of God.
Judgments without full understandings, is like Emotions without Love and Compassion.
Emotion is an effectuated mental feeling, and being devotional in actions of care and respect in regards to other Children of God.
Showing Judgment without Mercy in the World is known as controlling others.
The nest way to see if actions have been in the wrong is by the outcome.

Investments you make,
In some investments you make, you seldom see the prosperity of your decisions right away.
It takes time for investments to flourish.
Your broker will guide you, but it is still your decision to buy or sell.
If I would invest without corresponding with my broker,
It was my choice if it ended up being the wrong move.
How can I blame it on my Broker? It would not be his fault I made the wrong conclusion.
My broker is really just a guide, one that suggests or gives their opinion.
Another term is wisdom.
Finally my debt was paid off and my checkbook was balanced and my savings was being built.
That is when I really felt I was thankful for the ones that showed me how to budget.
It took me to be studious and conservative with my own finances.
No one else could have done it for me.
It took me to make up my mind to be successful.
When I ask God or someone else for help or assistance,
It is up to me to listen.
When I ask God for right answer, most of the time it is not a verbal response.
God does enlighten our minds, or quicken our thoughts?
God does make answers clearer for us?
With His assistance, we are assisted to make the right decisions.
The conclusion or resolution is mine.
Eph. 1: 17, 18 Mt. 11: 28-30

The Master Potter
How can I put the blame on anyone else, if I do not try to make the effort to fix it first?
Like clay on a potter’s wheel, until it is a master piece, a continual molding and shaping is being preformed to make it complete.
Visualizing the piece before it is complete is difficult. Each potter has their own
clay to mold and shape, As it is to each artist’s own work they only will be able
to perceive each flaw to be repaired.
Assistance can be provided by the Master Potter.
After clay is hardened, it is tough to repair mistakes.
Adjustments are finished by the hands that created each artwork.
Only the Master potter that taught each one to create sculptures can show mistakes that are made.
Homemade clay does not have the exact same ingredients as other potters have.
Clay can be developed or created by several different chemicals.
Not every potter has the same choices to be used, so one has to use what is in each one’s own possession or use what is available to each one.
All potters’ wheels are not created or built the same. Wheels are built with difference sizes.
The speed of each wheel has its own speed. And how fast each wheel is turned is up to each potter.
The foundations of each potter’s wheel are basically the same, but some are manual and some are electric, but each one can get the job done.
The speed of the wheel that is to be used depends on the type of clay that is
furnished or provided for each one.
Some ingredients of clay may make the clay harden up faster, and some you are able to spend more time sculpting.
Every showpiece is molded into each ones own understanding of art.
Art symbolizes the heart of each artist’s own skill, to perceive what and how
Masterpieces should be created or formed.
When going to sell art, every buyer has different tastes. You may be able to fulfill their craving or needs to complete each buyers own collections, remember that some use art to assist a sale of a home, and some enjoy just looking deep within ones talents.
You have to cipher out the differences of wants and needs, decisions are to be made
by the provider.
Provisions are to be given through abilities of everyone that is trying to provide help for ones.
The needs for my household will be different than the needs in other ones’ homes.
I can only perceive or decide what I need to control what I call my own.
I might be able to assist or give my opinion to help, but it still is up to each overseer
of their own house for what is to be needed to help comeplete their own masterpiece.
It will be still up to each potter to be able to finish their own work or calling

To be pacifistic at Heart
“Sometimes ones did not even comprehend the conflict within oneself and with others.”
When the soul has come to the place where it can no longer can take it, it snaps.
There are many souls who pride themselves that they can "take it."
They spend their entire lives convincing themselves and others they are tough.
Their insides have become hardened.
They have no peace, but they proclaim great peace with themselves and with others.
That’s because they must prove it, and if they say they have peace, that’s all the proof they need. They become very angry if you question their inner peace. They are the children of experts.
They were brought up by the new thoughts coming from the new storytellers.
But others, whose hearts have not become hardened but merely overcome, become "mentally ill" and have to be put away.
Perhaps their mental illness leads them to suicide or murder. There are other forms losing control takes, but none of them are pretty to look at.
"We extend our hand towards peace.
Our people are committed to peace. We know that peace entails painful compromise for both sides." Ariel Sharon
And if we don’t have peace with God, we will all the more lack His wisdom to deal with other people.
So when we wonder why we don’t have peace and harmony at home, at work, or at church, we have to look first and foremost into our relationship with God. Do we have peace and harmony with God?
All believers are God's children born by the Holy Spirit.
God would be pleased if His children can live in harmony.
On the other hand, discord among His children will bring grief to God.
If brothers and sisters can live in harmony and love, God will regard this as good and beautiful, and will bestow upon us the greatest blessings. “How good and pleasant it is when brothers live together in unity!” (Ps 133:1-3)
Therefore, we should all the more be kind to others and be an example to them of what being God’s children mean.
It is to have His love and His compassion, His patience and His way of resolving issues; that is, to have His virtues.
When we have peace with God and understand His will for us, we also understand His heart for the lost souls in this world. If we don’t have God’s peace with men, it is difficult to approach them as we are resentful or apathetic
If we can practice these principles of peace, not only can we achieve harmony and peace with everyone, we will all the more be pleasing to God and be blessed by Him abundantly.
Peace and Safety will come about, when ones will have peace within all of God's people.
God is the only Judge of who will be part of his Church and Family.

Wisdom
Wisdom – “The ability to discern or judge what is true, right, or lasting; insight.”
1. Common sense; good judgment: "It is a characteristic of wisdom not to do desperate things"
Wisdom is not something you attain as much as it is something you grow into. For most of us wisdom is synonymous with an old man and a long flowing grey beard. Although it is true that wisdom comes with age, you don’t need to be old to be wise. Most of the profound insights that you will come to in your life won’t be about new ‘undiscovered things’ but rather a new way of seeing even the most mundane things. It’s almost as if you grow up and get born into a conditioned way of thinking and when you reach adulthood you have to grow out of it – shedding your skin to really live an inspired life.
You can gain wisdom on your own and under your own power, and you may be filled with the wisdom of the world, but this is not godly wisdom. "Be not wise in your own eyes, fear the Lord and depart from evil."
Now, there is godly wisdom and there is worldly wisdom. The wisdom of this world is foolishness to God.
You can think that you are wise, but one with godly wisdom will see right through you. "Wisdom begins when we take things as they are; otherwise we get nowhere."
God is where wisdom is at.
You have a kind of sign-board hung out to show the apparent abode of wisdom: but wisdom is another guest who declines the invitation; she is to be found elsewhere.
James, the brother of Jesus, recognized the two types of wisdom. The wisdom and knowledge from above is shown with meekness. "But if you have bitter envying and strife in you hearts, glory not and lie not against the truth. This wisdom descends not from above but is earthly, sensual, and wickedness. For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work. But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle and easy to be entreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality and without hypocrisy."
Using wisdom in correction helps in solving difficult situations.
And wisdom will help decisions while helping others.
Knowledge and wisdom, far from being one, have ofttimes no connection.
Knowledge dwells in heads replete with thoughts of other men; Wisdom, in minds attentive to their own. Knowledge, a rude, unprofitable mass, The mere materials with which wisdom builds, until smoothed, and squared, and fitted to its place, do but encumber whom it seems to enrich. Knowledge is proud that he has learned so much; Wisdom is humble that he knows no more.
In these days people seek knowledge, not wisdom. Knowledge is of the past, wisdom is of the future.
Wisdom is described not only as a spirit in the Proverbs but in the feminine sense,
"Wisdom cries without, she utters her voice in the streets. She cries in the chief place of concourse, in the openings of the gate, in the city she utters her words."
Also from the ancient Book of Wisdom: "For she (wisdom) is the breath of the power of God, and a pure influence flowing from the glory of the Almighty; therefore can no defiled thing fall into her. For she is the brightness of the everlasting light, the unspotted mirror of the power of God and the image of His goodness.
"And being but one, she can do all things, and remaining in herself, she makes all things new; and in all ages, entering into holy souls, she makes them friends of God and prophets."
The wisdom of God through intelligence: Intelligence is another major factor in God’s wisdom. The heart, which prominently relates to motivation and affection, is clearly a more important factor in gaining true wisdom. (Psalm 49:3-4, Prov: 14:33) God’s servant wants to get “sheer wisdom” in his “secret self,” have wise motivation in planning his life course. (Psalm 51:6; 90:12)
The wisdom of God emphasizes sound judgment. It is based on knowledge and understanding; the ability to use knowledge and understanding successfully to solve problems, avoid or avert dangers, attain certain goals, or to counsel others in doing so.
From the beginning it was for Man to follow God’s will and not Man’s will and understandings.
Wisdom is knowing what to do next, Skill is knowing how to do it, and Virtue is doing it.
INTELLIGENCE, WISDOM AND KNOWLEDGE are necessary for our survival. Intelligence is the ability to learn, understand and think in a logical way about things; Wisdom is the ability to make sensible decisions and give good advice because of the experience and knowledge that we have; Knowledge is the information, understanding and skills that we gain through education or experience. Simply read the following verses several times. Meditate on them. Then pour out your feelings by praising God. Fortune smiles on you. Success is yours. Be an optimist!
The true meaning of wisdom is to have the insight that’s beyond the obvious. It’s learning to see that beyond the surface level of life experiences; there is something greater and bigger at work. This invisible (yet knowable) life force is intimately connected to you and your thoughts. What you think about expands in your life and learning to avoid that which weakens you and will allow you to cultivate your own authentic power and ultimately create for yourself the kind of life you really want to live.
Putting wisdom into a daily practice will help life to be easier.
Wisdom is learning, learning is knowledge, knowledge understands.
Using knowledge the right way is called common sense.
By using discernment with the fruits of the spirit, it will assist you to your final destination you are longing for.
In Studying different scriptures from old to new, its writers suggest wisdom starts with an open heart and mind.
Walking in wisdom is walking in kindness, love and charity.
Living without the fruits of the Spirit is not living for God.
Correcting my Son without full understanding of the situation is lack of wisdom.
To know how to follow the Spirit is gaining assistance in understanding God.
The wisdom of God is the ability to put knowledge to work or use it, the intelligent application of learning. A person might have considerable knowledge but will not know how to use it because of lacking in wisdom. Therefore, knowledge and wisdom work together with understanding. Jesus linked wisdom with accomplishment in saying: “Wisdom is proved righteous by its works.” (Matt 11:19)
The heart of the wise is at the right hand; that is, ready to help and protect him at critical moments. (Psalm 109:31) The heart of the fool is at the left, failing to give him the needed motivation.” (Eccl 10:2-3) The truly wise person has trained and disciplined his heart to give the proper motivation (Prov 23:19). It is as though he had written righteous commandments and law ‘upon the tablet of his heart.’ (Prov 7:1-3)
A man is getting along on the road to wisdom when he begins to realize that his opinion is just an opinion.
God grant me the serenity to accept the people I cannot change, the courage to change the one I can, and the wisdom to know it's me. ~Author unknown, variation of an excerpt from "The Serenity Prayer
Proverbs 8:13
Learning by experience is sometimes even better than book knowledge, dealing with daily life of troubles.
Wisdom takes studying my own mistakes and the ones I'm currently dealing with.
I am able to learn by studying others' shortcomings.
Trying to prove one's wrong shows no stability in God.
Helping when there is no full understanding, is what Christ show to the Gentiles.
And Christ taught and corrected with meekness and kindness.
Wisdom is Insight towards God, the ability to see into the underlying nature of a thing and to discern its true essence,to see something for what it really is, to look past appearance into substance, to read between the lines, to know the truth of a matter.
I do not want the peace that passeth understanding. I want the understanding which bringeth peace.
Understanding goes hand and hand with wisdom. As stated, they are both mentioned the same amount of times and usually together. Understanding develops wisdom. Proverbs gives us information about how to live our lives that will be pleasing to God and give us longer and prosperous lives. The information given should cause us to ponder it. It should be ingested and digested and become a part of us.

Necessity of Communication
Communication – “Having a sympathetic attitude in a conversation.”
Communication is a demand in life.
Expressing oneself will need to start with two open minds.
If it would be a marriage, family, business or in friendships,
Discussions or conversations are necessary.
It is just a courtesy to pay attention to ones that are trying
to relate to you their inner thoughts or needs.
In your family if you do not share ones ideas or problems,
It would be very hard to keep peace and love within each ones life.
Misunderstandings will take place in everyone’s life.

to relate to you their inner thoughts or needs.
In your family if you do not share ones ideas or problems,
It would be very hard to keep peace and love within each ones life.
Misunderstandings will take place in everyone’s life.

Internal Freedom
Until you make peace with which you are, you'll never be content with what you have
Peace is not the absence of conflict; it is the ability to handle conflict by peaceful means.
Peace can come about through a mutual understanding.
To instill peace in yourself, you must build slowly and follow through with your plans.
Some people find that they already have these traits. Some people have to work to attain them.
One will build peace if one is a conscious worker.
One can create peace with the right ingredients.
Being willing must be embedded in you to create harmony amongst yourself and the people around you.
You cannot always change or control your external conditions, but you can certainly bring changes into your inner world, which will in turn affect your actions, reactions and external world.
Disagreements sometimes lead to strife, discord and even separation.
You can have peace even with a disagreeable understanding.
Disagreements sometimes lead to strife, discord and even divorce.
You can divorce your spouse, or you can divorce your closest friends.
But when you divorce God or his people, you are separating your family for a opportunity to be part of the greatest Family.
Your family is the most valuable creation there is.
God has set his whole course of His creation, on having a family.
You can have peace even without complete understanding.
Peace is not the absence of conflict; it is the ability to handle conflict by peaceful means.
When there is no peace in the house,
the children in the house are the ones to feel the repercussion of the problems and separations.
There are cases that feuds have continued, and the rival’s never knew the original or understand the reason.
Sometimes ones did not even comprehend the confliction with each other.
And other times it was because of interpretations and feelings.
You will never have peace until there is a mutual agreement.
You will never find harmony of mind until you listen to your heart.
Attitude is a major factor in every misunderstanding.
The way to have peace is if we let go of wanting to change the past and wanting to control the future.
Start dealing with the present while preparing to fulfill our goals and obstacles that lies ahead.

Attaining a life of Peace.
“Sometimes ones did not even comprehend the confliction within ones, and with others.”
When the soul has come to the place where it can no longer take it, it snaps.
There are many souls who pride themselves that they can "take it."
They spend their entire lives convincing themselves and others they are tough.
Their insides have become hardened.
They have no peace, but they proclaim great peace with themselves and with others.
That is because they must prove it and if they say they have peace, that’s all the proof they need. They become very angry if you question their inner peace.
To instill peace in yourself, you must build slowly and follow through with your plans.
Some people find that they already have these traits. Some people have to work to attain them.
One will build peace if one is a conscious worker.
One can create peace with the right ingredients.
The political and personal will must be embedded in you to create harmony amongst yourself and the people around you.
One important factor to constantly remind yourself is that of the sheer patience one must have to build peace. It does not come within days.
Until you make peace with who you are, you will never be content with what you have.
When the power of love completes the love of power the world will know peace

Finding a Special Love
Love is a strong and emotional feeling.
My first memory of Love,
I can recall my Parents expressing their feelings through telling me and by wrapping their arms around me was a feeling of security.
That was one way they expressed their Love.
Even at an infant’s stage, the child’s mind can feel the expression of love from their Parents.
The feeling was created to give and to receive.
The professing of love is detrimental to ones life.
As a plant needs water, a person needs Love.
Without water the plant will die.
A Person without love, or feels they are loved, Mankind has no hope.
In the case of suicide, the common denominator is lack of feeling Loved and Respected.
Enjoyment is prompted by a loving feeling or caring for ones and what you do.
Being completely satisfied is a necessity of life.
A common thought about a daily employment “I hate my Job”.
What really creates that thought, a lack of desire or pleasure?
Finding a job you enjoy or the feeling of appreciation is a need.
The same goes for a Marriage.
Finding a companion that will fulfill your needs and interests will be one of the main reasons to enjoy life.
But finding your Creator is the most important way to feel your life is complete.
When you get to the point when you do not feel like you can reach out and touch the one you need during tough times, who moved?
You need to feel excitement and pleasure, when you walk into the doors of your Home, or you’re Church.
“Am I really doing my job or keeping the trust the other one needs for me to keep peace and fulfillment in our relationship”.
Relationships should have the feelings of love, respect is very important.
Keeping or finding that 1st love, my memory was trying to find that special person.
I am very blest that I found that peace within. After I found that special person I felt complete.
To maintain that special feeling, takes effort from both in your relationship.
There is no room for selfishness, giving is a necessity.
Not sharing the wrong thoughts of your mind, blaming the other person will get you nowhere.
Cutting off ones hands during disagreements, could affect you when you need a hand to keep from falling down.
During your disagreements, start resolving the issue with love and kindness,
as a child is being raised, correcting with care and mercy is a must.
Love will last forever, where discouragement and wrong correction will damage and scar ones permanently.

What is the Path?
Every day of our lives, there is a road ahead of us.
Whether it is rough or smooth, straight or at an angle
Uphill or downhill, life is tough.
As you develop into adulthood, life goes on faster.
You may be tested and tried or prosperous and successful.
Whatever comes your way, life is exciting and interesting.
Every day you wake up, you never know what is in store for you.
Turmoil. What is the definition?
“Anything that barricades us from success or happiness is called
the turmoil of life.”
On your life’s journey, we will come across pitfalls and stumbling blocks.
On roads you thought you knew where you were going, suddenly you came up to a dead end.
Who provided the directions?
Who did you put your trust in?
When times become rough, you will usually find or look for a friend.
There is always one friend who will never leave you.
He will always give you a chance to put your trust in him.
All you have to do is open up your heart and let him in.

The Devotion towards Family.
The Family Unity needs to feel Passion and Enmity towards one another.
Your Parents express their Love by giving, time, needs, and support
for development.
Siblings are there for companionship. through good times, and through tough times of life.
During your adolescence your family is so important for calming problems that Occur in your life.
I was fortunate to have 3 sisters that were there for me.
Having one older, and 2 younger, all my stages of development I had someone
to lean upon.
So in a capsule form, Love in giving time is a necessity. and Love it is a demand for growth.
To be able to practice showing expressions of feelings, is a need.
Loyalty is an indication of being faithful, and to be able to put confidence in.
I have one son, he was my only child. Sometimes being a only child could have draw backs.
In this case I was able to have a connection with him that replaced brothers that neither one of us had.
A devoted family is motivation to move on with life.
At the same time you wish time could slow down, so you can have more time to enjoy.
Even if you did not have any children or siblings, you have more time to spend with a Spouse,family or friends.
Sometimes you think of a bond, is something that holds together.
But a bond can be something to help release good feelings you have, and to express Compassionate affection towards others.
Union- group with shared interest or feelings. A same goal to achieve.
Devoted or fervid bonding time is necessary for happiness.
My life is devoted to my Wife, Son and all my Friends and Family.
That is what we were created for, A bond with God and all his family.

What Lies Within
What lies behind us and what lies before us are small matters compared to what lies within us.
Looking behind will just be stumbling blocks for the path ahead.
Change is to be made for trying to correct any past failures or faults. Fearing the change will never let me get ahead.
Just like finances, the only way to get ahead financially is correcting my wrong ways of mishandling of my funds. Seeing what is more important to spend my money on.
In the case of finances, the only way to get ahead financially is correcting my wrong ways of mishandling of my funds. Seeing what is more important to spend my money on.
The pathways and success of my Forefathers, should be an easy guide to live by.
Studying the mistakes from ancestors, should show me the trail not to follow.
The past should be the influence in my life.
Wrong discussions are easy to condemn, when I did not have to give or come up with the answer.

Our destiny
Our destiny changes with our thought; we shall become what we wish to become, do what we wish to do, when our habitual thought corresponds with our desire
Destiny is no matter of chance. It is a matter of choice: It is not a thing to be waited for; it is a thing to be achieved.
A Successful future is not to be pursued; it is to be attracted by the person you become.
An example is often a deceptive mirror, and the order of destiny, so troubling to our thoughts, is not always found written in things past.
As long as we are persistence in our pursuit of our deepest destiny, we will continue to grow. We cannot choose the day or time when we will fully bloom. It happens in its own time.
Children... are our legacy. Our responsibility. They are our destiny and we are theirs. The extent to which we fail as parents, we fail as God's children.
Destiny is no matter of chance. It is a matter of choice. It is not a thing to be waited for, it is a thing to be achieved.
Everything happens for a reason. I'm used to it, I prepare for it. Like I say, at the end of the day, those in charge of their own destiny are going to do what's rights for them and their family.\
I believe that you control your destiny, that you can be what you want to be. You can also stop and say, No, I won't do it, I won't behave his way anymore. I'm lonely and I need people around me, maybe I have to change my methods of behaving and then you do it.
If you create an act, you create a habit. If you create a habit, you create a character. If you create a character, you create a destiny.
Love is our true destiny. We do not find the meaning of life by ourselves alone-we find it with another.
Our destiny changes with our thought; we shall become what we wish to become, do what we wish to do, when our habitual thought corresponds with our desire
.The best years of your life are the ones in which you decide your problems are your own. You do not blame them on your mother, the ecology, or the president. You realize that you control your own destiny.
The way of the Creative works through change and transformation, so that each thing receives its true nature and destiny and comes into permanent accord with the Great Harmony: this is what furthers and what perseveres.
There is only one thing which can master the perplexed stuff of epic material into unity; and that is, an ability to see in particular human experience some significant symbolism of man's general destiny.

Disagreeing Respectfully
A disagreement with your Wife, family or friends, is a feeling that is easy and common to have.
If you have learned how to disagree without being disagreeable, then you have discovered the secret of getting along - whether it be business, family and friendships, or life itself.
To disagree, one doesn't have to be disagreeable.
We may disagree on some things, but we can do so without being disagreeable.
The ultimate test of a relationship is to disagree, but still hold hands.
Be willing to listen.
Begin with a commitment to listen - be open minded and consider other points of view. Listen regardless of whether you agree or disagree with what's said. Resist the urge to jump to conclusions; be defensive or be argumentative with the speaker.
Be patient, we often interrupt because we are afraid we will forget our point(s). Do not interrupt allow the speaker to finish what she/he has to say. Don't finish the speaker's sentences because you think they're taking too long to get to the point. Focus on what is being said instead of what you think is going to be said.
Leaders who win the respect of others are the ones who deliver more than they promise, not the ones who promise more than they can deliver.”
Until we respect ourselves how can we respect someone else?
If you feel that you’re not respected, start respecting others.
To finalize if I believe I am really right, am I living what I want ones to believe in. Am I treating others as I want to be treated?
I am really trying myself.

Peace in our lives.
The way to have peace is if we let go of wanting to change the past and wanting to control the future. Like footprints in the sand, you can see where you came from,
But when the powerful water of the ocean "(or pur water of life)" washes over the sand, looking back they are all washed away. The water of life is a cover over us, just like it washes over the land of this earthly dwelling place.

Working in one accord
Working together is a two way structure,
When working for one common cause, should have one mind for success.
In the case of “Microsoft” it was established with a common goal to be a prosperous company.
This company started with two different view points for a thriving business.
Both of these owners had there own ideas and functions for their corporation to prosper.
The original operating system was dos.
Dos was appropriate and a demand for its time.
As computers became faster and more powerful, systems needed to be improved.
Due to the melioration of the pc, the prototype had not altered the original structure.
All the modifications that has taken place, has only amended the first pc.
The quality of the computer has improved.
When computers came on the scene, most operators were in college or high school.
While education has been provided, the knowledge and intellect has broadened.
The age of computer operators has continued to become younger.
As the simplifications and adjustments have been preformed, the use of computers has increased.
The power and capability of the computer is being used to a capacity that never thought of.
This helpful invention has been maximized to a degree which the world is continuing to develop around it, and could not continue without it.
God’s church is a place where ones can come into to be safe, feel loved and at peace.
It will be a refuge for families and even the homeless to feel secure.
The point of this thought is that ones can live in a peaceful environment in our homes, work or in our religious dwelling places.
Wherever we dwell in our daily walk, a life of peace and love and charity, will help your life to enjoy a happy and joyful dwelling place.

Goal in Life
What is my goal or objective in life, in trying to live a Godly life?
Living in a society you find, disturbance, unhappiness, hate, bitterness lust and greed.
Is this really what type of life I want to live?
What God created for us, is not just a physical location,
But it is a state of being where turmoil's of life will not affect you.
This world has been only free from that darkness twice, in 6000 yrs.
The first was in the garden where Adam was put when created.
The second was when God destroyed the sinful world with the flood.
In both cases, the only understanding that was needed, was too
Respect God's love, by returning love through obedience.
The Garden and the Ark were created with the feeling of safety and security.
That is what ones should feel, in their own house and spiritual dwelling place.
There is a physical temple. and a spiritual 1 Cor. 6:20.
There is a place where ones can feel safe, and at peace.
Ones can be in a daily walk in God and feel secure, and have victory over the trials and temptations of life.
Take for instance, ones that leave rehab programs victoriously.
I know of ones that have been set free from chemical and liquid substances.
There are cases, where ones no longer have desires for these struggles and temptations of this carnal life.
And other has been set free, to enjoy a happy marriage.
Where, temptations of other thoughts cannot penetrate the mind, true Love has taken over.
Here are cases where perplexed, tormented minds have been overtaken by a, higher spiritual source.
I would have to say that ones can live a victorious life, and have overcome the wicked one.
Ones can live in peace without unrest or mortification in their lives.
There is peace and safety in whom that are in Christ Jesus.
Why should we say, “I can never live that way?
When Christ says
, “I can do all things through Christ which strengthened me “
“All things are possible “
Living in a society you find, disturbance, unhappiness, hate, bitterness lust and greed.
Is this really what type of life I want to live?
What God created for us, is not just a physical location,
But it is a state of being where turmoil's of life will not affect you.
This world has been only free from that darkness twice, in 6000 yrs.
The first was in the garden where Adam was put when created.
The second was when God destroyed the sinful world with the flood.
In both cases, the only understanding that was needed, was too
Respect God's love, by returning love through obedience.
The Garden and the Ark were created with the feeling of safety and security.
That is what ones should feel, in their own house and spiritual dwelling place.
There is a physical temple. and a spiritual 1 Cor. 6:20.
There is a place where ones can feel safe, and at peace.
Ones can be in a daily walk in God and feel secure, and have victory over the trials and temptations of life.
Take for instance, ones that leave rehab programs victoriously.
I know of ones that have been set free from chemical and liquid substances.
There are cases, where ones no longer have desires for these struggles and temptations of this carnal life.
And other has been set free, to enjoy a happy marriage.
Where, temptations of other thoughts cannot penetrate the mind, true Love has taken over.
Here are cases where perplexed, tormented minds have been overtaken by a, higher spiritual source.
I would have to say that ones can live a victorious life, and have overcome the wicked one.
Ones can live in peace without unrest or mortification in their lives.
There is peace and safety in whom that are in Christ Jesus.
Why should we say, “I can never live that way?
When Christ says
, “I can do all things through Christ which strengthened me “
“All things are possible “

Foundation of Love
All creations, is first brought forth through a loving thought.
Love founded and institutes , life, relations, families, education, religion, professions, hobbies and such .like.
Love can even be used negatively through, jealousy, greed, lust, hate.
Ones even love to destroy and kill.
Hitler brought forth a hostel mind set. Due to a love for power, control, greed and hate.
If Love would be first be administered with every disagreement, arguments would not occur.
All walks of life live with disagreements, It's because everyone has a different thoughts or their own intellect.
Love would bring forth mercy, peace, patience with other ones beliefs.
The only time a contrary thought would have to be stepped in with a disagreement,
is when it would be a defensive situation that would protect a loved one.
But that would still be under the category of love.
Even though there would be a confrontation it would be instigated through Love.
The first hateful, murderous jealous thought, would not have been put into an action, if love and respect would have been administered instead.
Due to a jealous thought Abel's life was taken from him.
And that murder would have not taken place, if Eve would have not had a love or desire for power and control.
Christ did not correct in a attitude of control- ( MT 23:12 ) , He corrected by letting them choose to follow.
Whosoever- " who ever shall " It is your choice," Christ corrected by compassion and love. Not by order, He did have commandments,
Christ did not correct in a attitude of control, He corrected by letting them choose to follow. Christ did not demand, he showed mercy. And he had compassion.
Christ did not command, he chowed mercy and passion.
“Where love rules, there is no will to power; and where power predominates, there love is lacking. The one is the shadow of the other.”\
Love the heart that hurts you, but never hurt the heart that loves you.
True love does not come by finding the perfect person, but by learning to see an imperfect person perfectly.
Christ is our Chief Shepherd, 1 pet, 5: 4 - Christ has Shepherds to guide his flock, ( Ministry )
Guides are to lead ones, teachers are to teach ones. Each are to coach or assist ones to learn.
It is up to the student to continue to study. It is a continual learning process, with the help of the Spirit to guide us daily.
Each of us with our own free, through choice will to continue to learn.
Hatred kills, love never dies. Such is the vast difference between the two. What is obtained by love is retained for all time. What is obtained by hatred proves a burden in reality for it increases hatred.
Even hatred is loved and desired.
The King of Babylon, Egyptian Pharaoh and bin Ladin. All these loved to hate, dictate, destroy, and to kill.
If you want to learn to increase your love, you should start with a friend who you hate."
Don't hold to anger, hurt, or pain. They steal your energy and keep you from love.
When your heart is full of Love, what room is there for hate.
True love has a willingness to forgive.
Most people think they are searching for truth when they are really searching for love.
Love is not the foundation of all life. it's the root source of all life.
All beginnings start with love.

Siblings are there for companionship. through good times,
and tough times of life.
During your adolescence if you are blest,
your siblings are so important in life.
I was fortunate to have 3 sisters that were separated by a few
years, between each of us.
When you have a older sister, it is easy to create a bond.
With no other siblings, time together is really desired.
After a short time latter, I was able to be blest with another sister.
This one being a little younger, our time together was developing
a strong relationship.
By the time the youngest reached middle teens, I was already
married.
But when you have a younger, energetic teenage sister,
a close bonding friendship is easily able to be strengthened.
So in a capsule form, expression of love to anyone is a need.
Through your expressions of love, ones will come with
recompensed love.
Now one of the most important relationships, is the expression
of love toward your spouse.
The desire of expressions of love is necessary for a complete
endless loving relationship.
The only way to have a fulfilling lasting life of peace and happiness,
is to yield your whole life to God. MT. 22: 37, 38
Love promotes respect, respect cannot be given, it must be earned.
Irreverence or disrespect leads to hate and bitterness.
You cannot have love and compassion, with animosity or hostility in our lives.
If you were to damage your finger or almost sever it while working,
first thing you would do, would try to stop the bleeding.
After the bleeding would stop, you would put astringent or styptic on it to help heal the wound.
After applying the bandage, only time would help to heal the wound.

Goals in our lives.
We must have a theme, a goal, a purpose in our lives. If you don’t know where you’re aiming, you don’t have a goal. My goal is to live my life in such a way that when I die, someone can say, he had a heart that cared.
You will encounter many distractions and many temptations to put your goal aside. But if you hang in there, always following your vision, I have no doubt you will succeed.
I believe through learning and application of what you learn, you can solve any problem, defeat any obstacle and achieve any goal that you can set for yourself.
We should remain true to our course; which may mean committing yourselves to things that people around you would normally disapprove.
With a powerful desire, with a strong determination, and with a promise to yourself, you can find ways to achieve your goals, and defeat challenges.
Commitment is the enemy of resistance, for it is the serious promise to press on, to get up, no matter how many times you are knocked down."
"Desire is the key to motivation, but it's determination and obligation to an unrelenting pursuit of your goal - a commitment to excellence - that will enable you to attain the success you seek."
Commitment relates to trust. When you communicate with people, they evaluate your motives. If they trust your motives they respond with a pledge.
Commitment must have common ground. When two parties come together for resolution of problems, they must find common ground or a common interest.
Obligations strengthens communication. The success of any relationship is dependent on its quality of communication. Communication is not just talking and exchanging information. It is a deeper exchange of experiences that brings understanding between two people. Successful relationships are built in love, trust and faith. When you trust someone you are pledged to that person. The paradox is the more commitment you have the more trust develops, and the relationship gets better. If you trust God you are vowed to knowing more about God and doing God's principles.
Why is a vow necessary for some people to continue in a relationship? For some people, in order to justify the investment of time, spirituality, mentality and emotionally. They need the assurance that the other person is on the same page, and, for them, that means some form of responsibility.
By undertaking your goals of life, with the assistance and support from your family, friends, and to trust in God. Your purpose and duty, to be there for ones in need. To be there for ones with a open heart, will be a part of your final destination of life.

Different view through professional athletics
I was raised with a father that enjoyed baseball. So of course growing up
in that atmosphere, I am a fan too.
Without complete understanding of the game, I was a fan of the team
my father was a fan of, "the Angels. "
As I grew up I realized Dad pulled for a team, that had struggles to win.
As years have gone on with the Angels being a team, different owners
have tried different ideas to be a winner.
Gene Autry being 1st owner tried many ways within his own understanding.
He made efforts and tried his best
He did make the wrong trades with players, without full understanding.
2 owners latter, the present owner saw the team needed a new look.
A new chemistry was formed, he hired a new manager and new coach's.
Different players had new positions.
This manager had a new outlook to move forward, and within 2 years
he made it to the world series and won it.
The manager did not change the foundation of baseball, he just reformed and restructured his team.
By teaching the team new ways to bat, pitch and new defensive skills,
a championship team was formed.
To finalize it. Baseball has not changed through the years, just enhanced it's understandings.
Electronic recordings,computer analyzing and medical science and new exercise techniques.
Better equipment has been developed.
Overall baseball teams basically, have the same goals and knowledge.
From the beginning of baseball until now all teams want to win.
in that atmosphere, I am a fan too.

Relationships
( Open minded Relationships )
Friends may forget what you said, but they will never forget how you made them feel
The people we are in relationship with are always a mirror, reflecting our own beliefs, and simultaneously we are mirrors, reflecting their beliefs.
So... relationship is one of the most powerful tools for growth... If we look honestly at our relationships, we can see so much about how we have created them.
You cannot always control what goes on all around you. But you can always control what goes on inside your heart.
We are never more discontented with others than when we are discontented with ourselves.
Some of the biggest challenges in relationships come from the fact that most people enter a relationship in order to get something: they're trying to find someone who's going to make them feel good. In reality, the only way a relationship will last is if you see your relationship as a place that you go to give, and not a place that you go to take.
To be successful, you have to be able to relate to people; they have to be satisfied with your personality to be able to do business with you and to build a relationship with mutual trust.
The most important ingredient we put into any relationship is not what we say or what we do, but what we are. And if our words and our actions come from superficial human relations techniques (the Personality Ethic) rather than from our own inner core (the Character Ethic), others will sense that duplicity. We simply won't be able to create and sustain the foundation necessary for effective interdependence
It takes a lot of experience of life to see why some relationships last and others do not. But we do not have to wait for a crisis to get an idea of the future of a particular relationship. Our behavior in little every incidents tells us a great deal.
There is no end to relationships. There may be the end of a particular relationship, but relationships can never end or be forgotten. To remember, is best to remember the best of times and qualities of ones.
The ultimate test of a relationship is to disagree and to stay close to one another.
( Friendships )
I cannot even imagine where I would be today, if it would have not been for all of my friends who have given me their hearts full of joy.
Let's face it, friends make life a lot more fun.
"Friends are the most important part of your life. Treasure the tears, treasure the laughter, but most importantly, treasure the memories."
"A wise man remembers his friends at all times;
a fool, only when he has need of them."
The most important things in life are your friends, family, health, good humor and a positive attitude towards life. If you have these then you have everything!"
The friends who grew up with you deserve a special respect. The ones who stuck by you shoulder to shoulder, in a time where nothing was certain, all life lay ahead, and every road led home.
It is easier to forgive an enemy than to forgive a friend.
To betray a friend is worse than to be betrayed by one.
Friendship consists in forgetting what one gives, and remembering what one receives

2 separate understandings creates prosperity
2 Farmers lived side by side from one another. They both had the same amount of land.
But both farmers were taught different methods of farming.
And their fathers were successful in farming.
Time went on, there had been a little tension between each other, of who had the best crops.
As time continued on, the property across from theirs was sold.
That piece of land was a little larger than either one of theirs alone.
So as the company continued to produce, the other two farmers neither one had the capability alone to compete.
Both farmers were feeling the hurt.
They analyzed and decided that both the farms together would create a larger than the company that moved across from them.
They studied and understood that each had different provisions. The one had all the equipment they would need.The other had all the seed and chemicals that was needed.
So as you can see, that the farmers felt they had all they would need to prosper.
But they finally realized that neither one had it all. it took both of their understandings and techniques of farming, and the tools each one had to prosper.
After the merger, the farmers ended up with a larger piece of land than the company across had.
They both come to realize that change had to take place.
By learning new techniques and ideas that both had,
the merger became successful.
They were finally able to compete in business.

A thought for your Journey
( analogy )
Two Good friends were hiking together up a mountain side.
During this journey they were having a conversation.
As the discussion continued, sure there were disagreements!
Even though there were disagreements and were not able to see eye to eye,
they were still friends.
Both were professional hikers.
But they had different ways to tie knots, they still helped and respected each other.
They had a common goal and that was to reach the top of the mountain.
They did not completely understand each other with their own thoughts,
they still needed one another.
No matter how either one understood their training, their eyes were on the same goal.
By looking back, they had the same instructor.
They understood nutrition, they both had their own protein.
Each other knew what their own bodies needed.
And just like in every class of students their instructional videos were the same.
Every individual has their own technique on how to input and
access the information from their internal hard drive.
Here is the whole root of the analogy.
Along any path you start your walk with friends,
you will have your own way to step over holes, rocks and trees.
By staying close and next to the ones you started your journey with, if one would trip or fall you would be there to help.
They were not there to help push the other over the cliff, but to help get to the same goal together.

How To Find Inner Peace
Your level of peace is directly related to your level of trust in God. The more you trust God, the more peace you will experience. The less you trust God, the less peace you will experience. If you choose to completely trust God, then stress will not be a part of your experience. If you experience any level of stress, it is because you have chosen not to fully trust God.
Inner peace can be reached only when we practice forgiveness. Forgiveness is letting go of the past, and is therefore the means for correcting our misperceptions.
A mind at peace, is a mind centered and not focused on harming others, and is stronger than any physical or mental force in the universe.
What is peace of mind? It is a state of inner calmness and tranquility, together with a sense of freedom, when thoughts and worries cease, and there is no stress, strain or fear. If we want to transform our life and be free from problems we must learn to transform our mind.
When things go wrong in our life and we encounter difficult situations we tend to regard the situation itself as the problem. But in reality whatever problems we experience comes from the mind. If we were to respond to difficulties with a positive or peaceful mind they would not be problems for us; indeed we may even come to regard them as challenges or opportunities for growth and development. Problems arise only if we respond to situations with a negative state of mind. Therefore, if we want to transform our life and be free from problems we must learn to be open for help and to transform our mind. Sufferings, problems, worries, unhappiness, and pain all exist within our mind; they are all unpleasant feelings, which are part of the mind. Through prayer, controlling and purifying our mind we can stop them once and for all.
There are and there will be people who live in peace and harmony. Therefore,
they can offer freedom to other human beings who internally have decided to live life with problems of this life as we know.
Often these free-spirit filled people are part of a minority group that has experienced severe pressure to turn to a higher source.
The results of a intense conflict between being spiritual or conforming to societies torments and problems of this world. They finally can surrender to being totally true to themselves and to the fundamentals of being lead by God.
By turning to the higher source of real strength and comfort, life will then feel the freedom and peace our lives were originally created to live in.

True Happiness
If true happiness could be achieved as the end result of possessing anything you want, achieving a dream, or buying something you like, then the contentment of a person would often be subject to something else. The basic key for finding happiness is to finally understand that it is not the result but a choice. The definition of happiness could also be seen when a person feels joyful, satisfied or pleased. Or he may simply be displaying signs of enjoying life. A basic and significant truth to remember is that another way to define happiness is merely the absence of an opposite emotion such as sadness, pain, misery or it can be something else.
We cannot be truly happy if we keep on “wanting” or “desiring” more than what we have. Contentedness is the gateway to happiness. There is nothing wrong with having wants, just as long as these things provide a positive motivating force. It is okay as long as we find happiness and fulfillment in the process of going after our wants. Irrational wants can limit our happiness if we make these the focus of our lives; hence, these only become sources of frustration.
Happiness is a personal decision. We are in charge with our own lives. So if we truly want to be happy. "We always have enough to be happy if we are enjoying what we do have -- and not worrying about what we don't have."
If these are examples of what constitutes happiness, then why are there still so many unhappy people walking the face of the earth? Each person has their own definition of happiness and different components they believe contribute to a fulfilling life. And even though many people believe that money can buy happiness, the truth is, it cannot.
True happiness is said to be both an inner glow and an outer radiation that you can feel together with an total satisfaction.
Another definition will give you the meaning of happiness as an emotional feeling which parallels with pleasure, joy, and contentment. But then these things are just temporary.
You have to dig deeper into the real meaning of happiness - a happiness that is True and never ending.
All the happiness you could ever want to is already within you and costs nothing. By digging through the noise and minutia of everyday life, you will see a tiny glimpse of the spiritual God-source from which all happiness emanates- the very joy of being.
Happiness is a choice to be made in advance or no later than the present
moment. Negativity, once experienced can never be reversed, but if you
are not careful, it can be lived again and again.
Hard times allow us to really dive deep into ourselves and figure out
who we truly are and what we want out of life. They make us desire
happiness more than we ever have and they can lead you to discovering
your passions and what truly makes you happy.
Focusing on the things that brings happiness to daily living in a
worthwhile exercise. It is easy to focus on the negative,
especially when there are reminders everywhere.
But choosing to seek ways to incorporate happy thoughts can make a tremendous difference in daily living.
And to finalize it, you cannot find true peace and happiness, without the Love of God, and peace within your heart. And without family and friends to be able to express your love, is lonely and worthless.
Love, in the truest sense of the word, is an action verb. We can say "I love you" and truly feel like we mean it, but the proof of our love is in our actions.

( Leaders - Guides - Overseers )
A simple definition of leadership is that leadership is the art of motivating a group of people to act towards achieving a common goal.
No matter who you are, there will be a case of submission to someone sometime in your life.
Anywhere there is a case for unity, there will be need for leadership & order.
In all instances of individuals, who are trying to come to a unity or common
ground, that is when a leader might be used to negotiate the differences.
Whether it be in marriage, education, spiritual or financial, anyone with a common goal there must be order.
As a leader you should always start with where people are before you try to take them to where you want them to go.
Leadership is not so much about technique and methods as it is about opening the heart. Leadership is about inspiration—of oneself and of others. Great leadership is about human experiences, not processes. Leadership is not a formula or a program, it is a human activity that comes from the heart and considers the hearts of others. It is an attitude, not a routine."
Leaders are not born. They are created through rigorous training and development. They are formed just like anything else. . . through hard work and God assistance. That's the price they have to pay to achieve that goal or goals in their calling.
Leaders instill in their people a hope for success and a belief in themselves. Positive leaders assist people to accomplish their goals.
The task of the leader is to get his people from where they are to where they have not been."
Leaders are ones who guides a specific group of people to move in a God-given direction."
Everyone faces challenges and problems. Success lies in dealing with them promptly and thoroughly.
"Men and Women make history and not the other way around. In periods where there is no leadership, society stands still. Progress occurs when courageous, skillful leaders seize the opportunity to change things for the better."
Success is to be measured not so much by the position that one has reached in life as by the obstacles which have been defeated while trying to succeed.
No group of people is stronger than the quality of its leadership, or ever extends its constituency far beyond the degree to which its leadership is representative.
In the past century a leader was a boss.. Today’s leaders must be partners with their people, they no longer can lead solely based on positional power.
"A leader takes people where they want to go. A great leader takes people where they don't necessarily want to go but ought to be."
Leaders don't create followers, they create more leaders.

DUTY
" DUTY " -, an action or task required by a person's position or occupation;
How can you come to know yourself? Never by thinking, always by doing.
Try to do your duty, and you'll now right away what you amount to. And what
is your duty? Whatever the day calls for."
I strongly believe that nothing is more spiritual than living at our highest potential while serving others. I believe that the more closely aligned we are in the spirit of God” the more fully we will give ourselves in service to the world. As such, my “spiritual path” is the path that leads me to a more complete manifestation of my unique compassionate duties.
It is better to perform one's own duties imperfectly than to master the duties of another. By fulfilling the obligations he is born with, a person never comes to grief.
The whole duty of man is embraced in the two principles of abstinence and patience: temperance in prosperity, and patient courage in adversity
Make it a point to do something every day that you don't want to do. This is the golden rule for acquiring the habit of doing your duty you need to do without resistance.

Responsibilities
Responsibilities- a particular burden of obligation upon one who is responsible
Responsibility is to be given, received, earned.
The duty and desire of a Father & Husband, is to provide the protection and leadership his family. And the necessity to fulfill the needs and happiness of the family, will bring the peace of mind that will bring the feeling of completeness and success in a man's mind.
Man must cease attributing his problems to his environment, and learn again to exercise his will - his personal responsibility.
He must take personal responsibility. You cannot change the circumstances, the seasons, or the wind, but he can change his mind."
Man must cease attributing his problems to his environment, and learn again to exercise his will - his personal responsibility
When we have begun to take charge of our lives, to own ourselves, there is no longer any need to ask permission of someone.
Accept responsibility for your life. Know that it is you who will get you where you want to go, no one else.

You don't have to be disagreeable when you disagree
When a friend makes a remark about the weather that you disagree with, it's easy to dismiss such a trivial matter without getting upset. However, if the subject changes to politics, religion, or other sensitive subjects, a simple misunderstanding can become a disagreement, which then leads to a quarrel, which, in turn, could end in bitterness and a breakup.
Friendships are too important to break up over silly squabbles. What's the point of 'winning' an argument if it results in losing a friend? To prevent needless breakups, arm yourself with a basic understanding of human nature and how we communicate. You may find one or more of the following points helpful on your journey to these goals.
Most disagreements are caused by misunderstandings. That is, you disagree with someone not because you have a different opinion, but because you misunderstand the opinion of your friend. The first thing to keep in mind is that misunderstandings are unavoidable. The bad news is misunderstandings can become quarrels. The good news is that with awareness, you can change misunderstandings to understanding and acceptance, which will deepen your friendships.
Why is misunderstanding inevitable? Well, it's has to do with the nature of casual communication. Let's say I'm among a circle of friends and wish to share an idea, and it's my turn to speak. The idea is completely clear in my mind, but to explain it in great detail is somewhat laborious. Besides, if my explanation is too long-winded, I'm apt to be cut off by a friend who is eager to jump into the discussion. So, to make my task less laborious and reduce the likelihood of being cut off in mid-sentence, what do I do? I abbreviate, shorten, and clip my ideas to get them out faster and easier. However, by reducing the details of my point, I unwittingly introduce vagueness and ambiguity. This lack of clarity leads to confusion and misunderstanding.
Even after verifying and clarifying, you may still disagree with your friend. Such disagreements are unavoidable because of our differences. As long as we remember that it is our differences that provide learning experiences and variety to life, we will be able to disagree without becoming disagreeable. Learn to become tolerant. Tolerance is expansive. It is about growth and enjoyment.
If you are married, your most important friend is your spouse. Why not repeat to your spouse the words of 'Dr. Love' (Leo Buscaglia, 1924 ~ 1998), "A single rose can be my garden. a single friend, my world." Then add, "YOU are my friend and my world." And prove it by mastering the art of compassionate communication: the art of listening, learning, and being sensitive and supportive. Eliminate quarrels at home. But should one occur when your guard is down, use it to deepen your relationship by quickly apologizing and making up.
This is something I need and hope to be able to fulfill into my life daily.
Friendships are too important to break up over silly squabbles. What's the point of 'winning' an argument if it results in losing a friend? To prevent needless breakups, arm yourself with a basic understanding of human nature and how we communicate. You may find one or more of the following points helpful on your journey to these goals.
Most disagreements are caused by misunderstandings. That is, you disagree with someone not because you have a different opinion, but because you misunderstand the opinion of your friend.
