Your Small Tiny Little Choices

Hi! don't you know that every day you are faced with choices. Some of it are clear as mineral water and life altering decisions. Some of it are so tiny that you can't even barely recognize it. But many times, these small tiny little choices you make can make the biggest difference.

Here's some :

Do you choose to laugh when somebody pronounced wrongly an English word in the class?
Do you laugh at others low scores?
Do you laugh at others mistakes?
Do you cheat on your exams and test?
Do you discourage or encourage somebody?
Do you ask somebody to study or to skip classes?
Do you help somebody or do you ignore?
Do you respect and honor your parents or do you lie to them?
Do you study or just play computer games?

As you can see on the questions above there are right and wrong choices.. But whether its a wrong choice or right, the choices you make can pile up over a period of time. For example, if you choose to be on your foot ball training on time, you will not immediately see the difference but after 2 or 3 months of training you will notice the big difference and you have developed a healthy positive habit and even much improved skills.

Athletes spend countless hours in training to master the skills needed for them to excel in their field of sports and make winning games. They understand that they first need to take care of the little small tiny things. But hey, just knowing the right thing to do is not the same as doing the right thing. Good positive choices can easily be made but it is also easy not to make it.

When i was in high school and even in college i found out that it is easier to do the wrong thing because i was with the wrong company. Even in college i was still doing the wrong thing which i thought is the "in" thing until i have fallen into bad habits. Let me reveal to you some but ssshhhh... let's keep this a secret okay. Check this out!

I have fallen into the bad habit of choosing:

To cheat in my exams and test and i have written a book on how not to get caught.
To escape from the house without my parents and guardians knowing it ( size and height matters)
To get drunk on Friday night and puke all night
To smoke but i immediately quit because one night when i smoked while sitting on a trunk of tree some teens who saw me from a far screamed kapre naninigarilyo! but somebody shouted much louder...dwende naninigarilyo!! ( dwarf smoking) dwende naninigarilyo!! Gosh that one really hurts and so i quit.
To say yes to the girl who courted me for 5 months... ( only in my dreams.he he he)
To post the picture of my teacher with the caption "never mine the dogs beware of this teacher"
To choose not to take a bath. ( because i thought it was the best way to conserve water)
T choose not to tell the girl i love how much she means to me. ( in high school because i was not lovable then. he he he)
To not to fight for my love for the woman who mean so much to me.


Now, that's just a few of my wrong choices. Finally when i realized after spending 6 years in college and working without a goal and with no passion for many years ( i'm not yet old okay) i choose to go for my dreams and put my self on the road to success. My friend don't miss the bright future ahead of you. Make the right choice. If you have made wrong choices, now is your time to change and do the right thing. Today can be your new day. Make the right choice!

Much cares,
Neil

Jump Brother Jump Sister

The African Impala can jump to a height of over 10 feet and can cover a distance of 30 feet or even more. That's a pretty amazing move for an animal, yet these amazing, extraordinary creature can be enclosed in a zoo with a 3 foot high wall. Wonder why?

These high jumping animal won't dare make a jump and set himself free from the zoo because it cannot see where its feet will land. Wow! i can relate to that kind of mindset! A few years ago i was like that impala. Scared to take a leap towards success and freedom. It was because i am engulfed with fear and so i stayed on my comfort zone but unhappy.

But now i have freed my self from the enclosure of life that tries to entrap me. I took a leap of faith! I jump out from my zoo and out into life of excellence. Though i cant see where my feet will land i made the decision to make a move because i have faith in the God i know who is for me.

Faith is dwelling where you want to go, focusing on what you want to happen.
Fear is dwelling on what you don't want to happen.

Now, where is your mind dwelling? Remember, you are made for excellence. Make a move! Have faith!

No One can stop You but You

When i was young, very young, cute and lovable ( now i am just cute ha ha ha) i have so many doubts and fears. The doubts i have about what i can do is piling up everyday and there is always this voice telling me that i am nobody, i can't make it, i am not worth it and its a waste of time  and effort reaching a dream.

Well, it all developed because i am engulfed by negative people who can only see the wrong in me.That my height is wrong, my health is wrong, my answer is wrong, my color is wrong, my decision is wrong and my smell is wrong ha ha ha.

I lived with that mindset for so long. Everyday i listened to that negative and doubting voice that i embedded to my mind. It is vocalizing everyday and as it echoes its whispers everyday, i became what it tells me.The result, for 35 years i was scared to venture, to take risk and worst of all i was turning down possibilities and i was making wrong decisions.

Gosh! if only i could turn back the time i would start again and delete from my personal operating system that negative voice and doubts.The turning point in my life came when somebody told me that i have the skill and the needed raw material to become what i wanted. Actually i also waited for her to say i have the looks and the charisma but she didn't mention it. Maybe she has some eyesight problem ha ha ha.

I am sharing to you the news today my friend.
You have everything in you right now, everything that you could need to be successful in any area of your life.You have deep reserves and depo of potential and skills that needs to be harnessed, developed and utilized. It will help you do the extra ordinary.

The only true existing limitations on what you can become, have or do are your self imposed limitations.They're inside you not outside you. It is that voice that says you are not worthy.. In order for you to become all you wanted to become, you need to make a firm decision to face your doubts and confront that self limiting voice.

Don't let it rub you of the great future and life that you deserve. The only one who can stop you is yourself. In the face of great adversity, doubts and fears and even needs, when everyone around you is giving up, when your mind is telling you to quit, when every fiber of your body bis telling you to surrender, walk towards it and face it. Step up and move on. Never never listen to it.

There is a gold mine in you my friend. In case you are not aware i want you to scrape every layer of your skills and personality until you touch base with your real worth. God has given you the raw material you need to be successful.Don't tell your self you can't because God believes you can and He is all for you.
