Attitude

One day I decided to quit….

One day I decided to quit….  I quit my job, my relationship, my spirituality. .. I wanted to quit my life.  I went to the woods to have one last talk with God.  ‘God’, I asked, ‘Can you give me one good reason not to quit?’  His answer surprised me…  ‘Look around’, He said. ‘Do you see the fern and the bamboo?’ ‘Yes’, I replied.  ‘When I planted the fern and the bamboo seeds, I took very good care of them. I gave them light. I gave them water. The fern quickly grew from the earth.  Its brilliant green covered the floor.  Yet nothing came from the bamboo seed.  But I did not quit on the bamboo.  In the second year the Fern grew more vibrant and plentiful.  And again, nothing came from the bamboo seed.  But I did not quit on the bamboo’, He said.  ‘In year three, there was still nothing from the bamboo seed. But I would not quit.  In year four, again, there was nothing from the bamboo seed. I would not quit.’ He said.  ‘Then in the fifth year a tiny sprout emerged from the earth. Compared to the fern it was seemingly small and insignificant. .. But just 6 months later the bamboo rose to over 100 feet tall.  It had spent the five years growing roots. Those roots made it strong and gave it what it needed to survive.  ‘I would not give any of my creations a challenge it could not handle.’  He asked me. ‘Did you know, my child, that all this time you have been struggling, you have actually been growing roots’.  ‘I would not quit on the bamboo.  I will never quit on you.’  ‘Don’t compare yourself to others.’  He said.  ‘The bamboo had a different Purpose than the fern. Yet they both make the forest beautiful.’  ‘Your time will come’,  God said to me. ‘You will rise high’  ‘How high should I rise?’  I asked.  ‘How high will the bamboo rise?’ He asked in return.  ‘As high as it can?’ I questioned.  ‘Yes.’  He said,  ‘Give me glory by rising as high as you can.’  I left the forest and brought back this story.  I hope these words can help you see that God will never give up on you.  Never, Never, Never Give up.  For Prayer is not an option but an opportunity.  Don’t tell the Lord how big the problem is,  tell the problem how Great the Lord is!

 

Caminhos

Tem sempre presente
que a pele se enruga,
o cabelo se torna branco,
que os dias se convertem em anos,
mas o mais importante não muda!
Tua força interior e tuas convicções não têm idade.
Teu espírito é o espanador de qualquer teia de aranha.
Atrás de cada linha de chegada, há uma de partida.
Atrás de cada triunfo, há outro desafio.
Enquanto estiveres vivo, sente-te vivo.
Se sentes saudades do que fazias, torna a fazê-lo.
Não vivas de fotografias amareladas.
Continua, apesar de todos esperarem que abandones.
Não deixes que se enferruje o ferro que há em você.
Faz com que em lugar de pena, te respeitem.
Quando pelos anos não consigas correr, trota.
Quando não possas trotar, caminha.
Quando não possas caminhar, usa bengala.
Mas nunca te detenhas!

VICTORIA

Estoy convencido de que en este día somos dueños de nuestro destino, que la tarea que se nos ha impuesto no es superior a nuestras fuerzas, que sus acometidas no están por encima de lo que puedo soportar. Mientras tengamos fe en nuestra causa y una indeclinable voluntad de vencer, la victoria estará a nuestro alcance.
WINSTON CHURCHILL

DESTINO

El que controla sus pensamientos, controla su mente. El que controla su mente, controla su vida. Cuando alcanzas la fase de controlar totalmente tu vida, te conviertes en dueño y señor de tu destino.

INSPIRACIÓN

Cuando te inspira un objetivo importante, un proyecto extraordinario, todos tus pensamientos rompen sus ataduras: tu mente supera los límites, tu conciencia se expande en todas direcciones y tú te ves en un mundo nuevo y maravilloso. Las fuerzas, facultades y talentos ocultos cobran vida, y descubres que eres una persona mejor de lo que habías soñado ser.
