Find reasons to do the important things, instead of reasons not to do them. Risk, experiment, and don’t forget to have some fun while you are at it.

Humor is the great equalizer. When you make someone laugh, you make them feel good. When they feel good around you, they tend to feel good about you. When they feel good about you, they want to do business with you.

Just Three Words

There are many things that you can do to strengthen your relationships. Often the most effective thing you can do involves saying just three words. When spoken sincerely, these statements often have the power to develop new friendships, deepen old ones and even bring healing to relationships that have sourerd. The following three-word phrases can be tools to help develop every

relationship.

1.Let me help

Good friends see a need and then try to fill it. When they see a hurt they do what they can to heal it. Without being asked, they jump in and help out.

2. I understand you.

People become closer and enjoy each other more when the other person accepts and understands them. Letting your spouse know - in so many little ways - that you understand them, is one of the most powerful tools for healing your relationship. And this can apply to any relationship.

3. I respect you

Respect is another way of showing love. Respect demonstrates that another person is a true equal. If you talk to your children as if they were adults you will strengthen the bonds and become closer friends. This applies to all interpersonal relationships.

4. I miss you.

Perhaps more marriages could be saved and strengthened if couples simply and sincerely said to each other "I miss you." This powerful affirmation tells

partners they are wanted, needed, desired and loved. Consider how important

you would feel, if you received an unexpected phone call from your spouse in

the middle of your workday, just to say "I miss you."

5. Maybe you're right.

This phrase is very effective in diffusing an argument. The implication

when you say "maybe you're right" is the humility of admitting, "maybe I'm wrong". Let's face it. When you have an argument with someone, all you normally do is solidify the other person's point of view. They, or you, will not likely change their position and you run the risk of seriously damaging the relationship between you. Saying "maybe you're right" can open the door to explore the subject more. You may then have the opportunity to express your view in a way that is understandable to the other person.

6. Please forgive me

Many broken relationships could be restored and healed if people would admit their mistakes and ask for forgiveness. All of us are vulnerable to faults, foibles and failures. A man should never be ashamed to own up that he has been in the wrong, which is saying, in other words, that he is wiser today than he was yesterday.

7. I thank you.

Gratitude is an exquisite form of courtesy. People who enjoy the

companionship of good, close friends are those who don't take daily

courtesies for granted. They are quick to thank their friends for their many expressions of kindness. On the other hand, people whose circle of friends is severely constricted often do not have the attitude of gratitude.

8. Count on me

A friend is one who walks in when others walk out. Loyalty is an essential ingredient for true friendship. It is the emotional glue that bonds people. Those that are rich in their relationships tend to be steady and true

friends. When troubles come, a good friend is there indicating "you can count on me."

9. I'll be there

If you have ever had to call a friend in the middle of the night, to take a sick child to hospital, or when your car has broken down some miles from home, you will know how good it feels to hear the phrase "I'll be there." Being there for another person is the greatest gift we can give. When we are truly present for other people, important things happen to them and us. We are renewed in love and friendship. We are restored emotionally and

spiritually. Being there is at the very core of civility.

10. Go for it

We are all unique individuals. Don't try to get your friends to conform to your ideals. Support them in pursuing their interests, no matter how far out they seem to you. God has given everyone dreams, dreams that are unique to that person only. Support and encourage your friends to follow their dreams. Tell them to "go for it."

B o n u s : 11. I love you

Perhaps the most important three words that you can say. Telling someone that you truly love them satisfies a person's deepest emotional needs. The need to belong, to feel appreciated and to be wanted. Your spouse, your children, your friends and you, all need to hear those three little words: "I love you." Love is a choice. You can love even when the feeling is

gone.

12. GOD BLESS YOU!

(These are 3 words too, right?)

If something seems far too big for you to cope with, maybe it’s because meant to share the load with someone else.

Father Is Driving (A Real Story )

A speaker (Dr. Wan) has once shared his experience:

While his family and he were in Europe, there was once

that they need to drive 3 days continuously, day and

night, to get to Germany. So, they all got into the

car -- he, his wife, and his 3 years old daughter.

His little daughter has never traveled at night

before. She was scared the first night in the car,

with deep darkness outside.

"Where are we going, Father?" "To your uncle's house,

in Germany."

"Have you been to his house before?" "No."

"Then, do you know the way?" "Maybe, we can read the

map."

Short pause. "Do you know how to read the map?" "Yes,

we will get there safely."

Another pause. "Where are we going to eat if we get

hungry before arriving?" "We can stop by restuarants

if we are hungry."

"Do you know if there are restaurants on the way?"

"Yes, there are."

"Do you know where?" "No, but we will be able to find

some."

The same dialogue repeated a few times within the

first night, and also the second night. But on the

third night, his daughter was quiet. The speaker

thought that she might have fallen asleep, but when he

looked into the mirror, he saw that she was awake and

was just looking around calmly. He couldn't help

wondering why she was not asking the questions anymore

--

"Dear, do you know where we are going?" "Germany,

Uncle's house."

"Do you know how we are getting there?" "No."

"Then why aren't you asking anymore?" "Because Father

is driving."

Because Father is driving. This answer from a 3 years'

old girl has then become the strength and help for

this speaker for the many years follow whenever he has

questions and fears on his journey with the Lord. Yes,

our Father is driving. We may know the destination

(and sometimes we may just know it like the little

girl -- "Germany", without understanding where or what

it really is). We do not know the way, we do not know

how to read the map, we do not know if we can find

restaurants along the way. But the little girl knew

the most important thing -- Father is driving -- and so

she is safe and secure. She knows that her Father will

provide all that she needs.

Do you know your Father, the Great Shepherd, is driving

today? What are your behavior and response as a

passenger, His child?

You may have asked many questions before, but can you

like the little girl, starts to realize the most

important focus should be "Father is driving?"

A truly great man knows that he did not become great by himself and will share the credit with those who had a part in making him what he is.

All the water in the world, however hard it tries, can

never sink the smallest ship unless it gets inside,

and all the evil in the world, the blackest kind of

sin, can never hurt you in the least, unless you let

it in.

Desire Is the Fire of Life (© Max Stein)

The key that insures your success in any endeavor, is

desire.

If you are willing to pay the price,

even your circumstances will change.

If you want something badly enough,

you are sure to get it.

Reality forms around the commitments you make.

Your desires will in time externalize themselves into

concrete facts.

Obstacles don't matter very much.

Pain or other circumstances can be there.

But if you want to do something bad enough,

you'll find a way to get it done.

You only have to love a thing greatly to get it.

Extreme of Team Work

[JOYce]

One cold evening during the holiday season, a little boy about six or seven was standing out in front of a store window. The little child had no shoes on and his clothes were mere rags. A young woman passing by saw the little boy and could read the longing in his pale blue eyes. She took the child by the hand and led him into the store. There she bought him new shoes and a complete suit of warm clothing.

They came back outside into the street and the woman said to the child, “Now you can go home and have a very happy holiday.”

The little boy looked up at her and asked, “are you God, Ma’am?”

She smiled down at him and replied, “No son, I’m just one of His children.”

The little boy then said, “I knew you had to be some relation.”

You cannot raise a man up by calling him down.

Think about life. When we were born, we came with

nothing. Naked we were born into this world. When we

die, we will leave with nothing too. We will not be

able to take our cars, houses, credit cards and other

material goods with us.

At our deathbed, though, one thing we will have with

us is our memories. Whether good or bad, they will all

have played their part in making us what we will be.

The tangible is temporary. But no one can take our

memories away from us. They make life truly memorable.

So let's make more everlasting sweet memories!

Life is a coin. You can spend it any way you wish, but

you can spend it only once.

Make the most of today. Translate your good intentions into actual deeds.

Dream Big

If there were ever a time to dare,

to make a difference,

to embark on something worth doing,

it is now.

Not for any grand cause, necessarily-

but for something that tugs at your heart,

something that's your aspiration,

something that's your dream.

You owe it to yourself

to make your days here count.

Have fun.

Dig Deep.

Stretch.

Dream big.

Know, though, that things worth doing

seldom come easy.

There will be good days.

There will be times when you want to turn around,

pack it up,

and call it quits.

those times tell you

that you are pushing yourself,

that you are not afraid to learn by trying.

Persist.

Because with an idea,

determination,

and the right tools,

you can do great things.

Let your instincts,

your intellect,

and your heart

guide you.

Trust.

Believe in the incredible power of the human mind.

Of doing something that makes a difference.

Of working hard.

Of laughing and hoping.

Of lazy afternoons.

Of lasting friends.

Of all the things that will cross your path this year.

The start of something new

brings the hope of something great.

Anything is possible.

There is only one you.

And you will pass this way only once.

Do it right.
