Pay the price! In life, anything worthwhile comes for a price

Passion is meaningless without commitment. Commitment is what takes a passionate dream and makes it real. It drives you to keep going despite the barrier in your way. Above all else, commitment means accepting what you have to do to reach your dream.
In life, anything  worthwhile comes for a price. Paying the price means paying your dues in time, sweat, tears and discipline.
We all must suffer from one of the two pains, the pains of discipline or the pain of regret. We must suffer the pain of discipline to achieve what we want or the pain of regret at not achieving it. The difference is that the pain of discipline weighs ounces, while the pain of regret weights tones.
Take your self forward to the end of your life and imagine yourself in that weight of regret. It's not a pleasant thought. All it takes to shift that weight is some discipline and commitment now.
Discipline will make your dreams real and make them real now.
"There is a price for everything. You need to find out what it is, then pay it up front and in full.

NAMBA: A VILLAGE WHERE MANNA STILL FALLS.

Namba is a small and drought-stricken village in Southern part of Angola, a Seventh Day Adventist missionary who spent nearly a lifetime in Africa established a mission in this village. This white missionary left and for some years the mission was under the care of a local director. One year the rains failed to come, the crops did not grow, and the mission stores were emptied and no money to buy food if it could have been found. The mission director had been away for some weeks on a trip visiting distant mission schools. The believers at the Missao Adventista da Namba came to the end of their resources and food supply. The director's wife called the families together and told them the situation. Then she read to the people the promises of the Lord and told them of the manna which had been sent by God to His people in the time of Moses, assuring them that God could send them food in the same way, if necessary. After prayer, a little girl, about five years of...

The nature of mindsets, part 1.The deeper reason to examine our mindsets is so we can mount a self-aware response to the great challenges of our day. We simply can’t respond to our personal and global problems in a meaningful way unless we also learn how to examine our mindsets as an integral part of how we live our lives

The nature of mindsets by Ash Buchanan A primer on how our underlying beliefs, attitudes and assumptions create our everyday lives — and our shared world Mindsets shape the lives we lead, the actions we take and the future possibilities of the world we live in. In this primer, we provide an overview of what mindsets are, why they matter and explore a range of practices you can use to be mindful about how and why you use them. What is a Mindset? “Your beliefs become your thoughts, your thoughts become your words, your words become your actions, your actions become your habits, your habits become your values, your values become your destiny.” — Mahatma Gandhi Eight principles can be used to describe the underlying nature of mindsets. 1) Mindsets are habits of mind The word mindset was first used in the 1930’s to mean “habits of mind formed by previous experience.” In simple terms, mindsets are deeply held beliefs, attitudes and assumptions we create about who we are and h...

HOW PRAYING IN TONGUES CAN BOOST YOUR IMMUNE SYSTEM

It has been reported by medical science recently that praying can affect a sick person’s outcome for the better. One study showed that even when the sick person did not know people were praying for him/her, their health improved. As believers, we know personally what prayer has done for us in our times of sickness (Js. 5:15-16). But did you know that “praying in tongues” can actually make you healthier? Speaking in Tongues Can Boost Your Immune System A few years ago, a brain surgeon at Oral Roberts University did a study of what happens in the brain when people pray in tongues. He found that they secreted two chemicals that can boost the immune system by 35-40%! Think about the effects this can have on opportunistic diseases such as cancer. God created the immune system to be our defense against harmful invaders: bacterial, viral, fungal, parasitic, and even malignant. It is when the immune system is weakened that such pathogens can attack and overwhelm our bodies. We all know tha...
