Wednesday's Words

Your Powerful Thoughts

Your thoughts have great power to influence the way you are. Make sure you get that power working for you, not against you.

Use the power of your thoughts not to merely find an excuse, but to find a way. Focus the power of your thoughts not on worry or dismay, but rather on love and creativity.

Use your immensely powerful thoughts not to hide away from life’s best possibilities. Instead, use your thoughts to achieve great things.

Whatever you most consistently think you are, is what you surely become. Think positively, think compassionately, think joyfully, and become the best you can be.

Each moment is an opportunity for you to point your thoughts in a direction that will benefit your life and the lives of those around you. Each thought is a choice you make regarding the direction of your life.

Now is when you can think the most positive, meaningful, creative, loving and joyful thoughts you can imagine. Now is when your thoughts can lead you to make life more beautiful and fulfilling than ever.

Wednesday's Words- 'Make Life Truly Good'

Make Life Truly Good

The best opportunities are opportunities to be of service. When someone can benefit from your assistance, your expertise, your time, attention and skills, that’s golden. 

The way to make a friend, the way to make a living, the way to make a good impression, the way to make a fortune, is to make a difference. When you’re committed to making a difference, to being of service, you’re on the path to greatness. 

Be of genuine service, again and again, and the world takes notice. Make it your goal to add real value to life, and you’ll live a life that’s rich and fulfilling.Sure, some people will seek to take advantage of you. Yet you can let that be their problem, not yours. 

Give great value, and you will live great value. Let go of the fantasy that you can cheat life, because all you end up doing is cheating yourself. 

When times are good, when times are tough, when there’s joy or when there’s disappointment, whatever the situation may be, choose to be of service. Make life truly good by making it good for others.

Jonah

Recently saw a link/review to the short film entilted 'Jonah' by Kibwe Tavares and found it extremely visually intriguing with a great story line and message. See below for short description of the film and enjoy!

JONAH

Mbwana and his best friend Juma are two young men with big dreams. These dreams become reality when they photograph a gigantic fish leaping out of the sea and their small town blossoms into a tourist hot-spot as a result. But for Mbwana, the reality isn't what he dreamed – and when he meets the fish again, both of them forgotten, ruined and old, he decides only one of them can survive. Jonah is a big fish story about the old and the new, and the links and the distances between them. A visual feast, shot though with humour and warmth, it tells an old story in a completely new way.

Wednesday's Words- 'Being Positive'

Being positive

You cannot instantly change the situation by being positive about it. What you can instantly change is your perspective, and that will give you an enormous advantage.

 Even when there’s no good justification for being positive, be positive. Because it is always far superior to the alternative, and gives you maximum power and effectiveness.

Being positive is a choice you can make that will connect you to the best possibilities. Being positive forces you to also be positively creative.

 When things are difficult, do you really want to make them even more difficult by being negative? Choose instead to realistically see the situation for what it is, and then to be positive about moving forward from it.

Eventually, somebody is going to change things for the better, and it might as well be you. Think and see and do from a positive perspective and create good, meaningful value.

 By being positive you are being powerful, useful, thankful, compassionate, sincere and highly effective. Make the choice to be positive, and truly make the world a better place.
