The demands of growth. Growth demands a temporary surrender of security. It may mean giving up of familiar but limiting patterns safe but unrewarding

If we don't change, we don't grow. If we don't grow, we are not really living. Growth demands a temporary surrender of security. It may mean giving up of familiar but limiting patterns safe but unrewarding
Work, values no longer believed in, relationships that have lost their meanings (Gail Sheehy).

I had learned that shortcuts don't pay off in the long run. If I was going to have a chance to reach my potential, I was going to have to keep learning growing and improving.

Taking a new step, uttering a new word is what most people fear most (Dostovsky). The real fear should be the opposite course. There is nothing worse than living a stagnant life, devoid of change and improvements.

"Everyone thinks of changing the world, but no one thinks of changing himself" The iconic thing is that change is inevitable, everybody has to deal with it. On the other hand, growth is optional. You can choose to grow or fight it. But know this, people unwilling to grow will never reach their potential

The only way to improve the quality of your life is to improve yourself. If you want others to treat you more kindly, you must develop better people's skills. There is no sure way to make other people in your environment improve, the only thing you truly have the ability to improve is your self, and the amazing thing is that when you do, everything else around will suddenly gets better. So the bottom line is that if you want to take the success journey, you must live a life of growth.

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...
