Jethsel's Start of the Week Habit v3 - Start Your Engines!

Start Your Engines!

So how will 2009 be different for us?
How will YOU be different?
What will we change, and what will we nurture and cultivate?

To finish the year well, we need to START well.

The first few weeks set the pace for the entire year to come.

How will you plan out and engineer your 2009?

We have an option- We can be a person of action and vitality that wins more often than we lose. Or, as a person who prefers to tip-toe through life trying not to be noticed? - a whiner and complainer who just wants to be left alone.

There are winners and there are whiners.

Gary Simpson, a motivational trainer and a life coach, once described winners as someone who attracts people to them like bees around honey. They have infectious personalities. They stand out in a crowd. They are people to be reckoned with. They are dreamers, planners and achievers. Winners have conquests in their minds. They talk about opportunities, projects and the future. Winners smile.

Whilst whiners repel people like a bad smell in a confined space. They have poisonous personalities. They too stand out in a crowd but for opposite reasons. They find it difficult to hold conversations because people find them tiresome. Whiners have conflict in their minds. They criticize, deride and ridicule others. Their favourite topics include rumour and innuendo. Whiners scowl.

Let's check our language. Is it positive or negative? Check our thinking. Is it appreciating or depreciating?

Being a winner inspires us because winners can tell us where they are going, what they plan to do along the way, and who will be sharing the adventure with them. Being anything else is not just worth wasting time on.

PRAYER

I find this picture so interesting. This was taken at the plane when Eman and PJ are on their way to Cebu. This has melted my heart and gave me a realization that with all the things going on right now, we just always need to pause - and pray. Let me share with you one scripture that i have read today from Jon Orana of www.topbibleverses.com and helped me understand a lot of things. Psalm 17:5 Hold up my goings in thy paths, that my footsteps slip not. Burt had worked in high-rise construction all his life. Everyday he would walk the girders high above the ground with apparent ease. In his lifetime he had seen a number of men plunge from the girders due to a mere moment of carelessness. As for himself, he knew he had been lucky. Each morning he began work only after saying a short prayer, asking the Lord to watch his movements through the day, keeping him safe from any mishap. Though most of us never do anything as dangerous or risky as high-rise construction, we do stand in d...
