We are always an Infant

Imagine the joy that we feel whenever we see an infant.

Especially if that infant is part of your family.

They don’t do anything but their mere presence is enough to make us happy.

If an infant did something wrong, we are not mad.  Instead, it breaks our heart seeing the infant suffering from it.



That’s how God sees us.

We are always an infant in his eyes.

We don’t do anything but our mere presence brings joy to him.

Whenever we fall from sins, our God is not mad at us.  Instead, it breaks his heart seeing us suffering from the consequence of our sins.

That’s how God loves us and it will never change.


Accept his unconditional love.

God Bless you more.

Fight for Happiness

Happiness is a choice.

It is one of the best feeling that life offers.

It makes you positive.

It attracts more blessings.

It is a decision that we choose every day.

But because of our enemies like negative thoughts, lack of gratitude, disappointments, worries, fears, frustrations, pain, anger and hatred.

Deciding to be happy becomes a war on the inside.

And if it starts to become a war on the inside, happiness becomes the hardest choice.


The one is fighting and the other is losing

There is story of 2 women name Mefi and Laila (I’ve change their names).

Both of them are working on the same office.

For 5 days that you will see Mefi every morning, you will only catch her smiling once, twice or thrice.

Mefi’s favorite habit is complaining.   And whenever she had a small problem (I’m serious it’s just a small problem), you will see Mefi the tantrums.

But when you see Laila in their office.  You will always be welcomed by her sweet smile. 

I rarely seen her having a bad day.  And even she had a bad day, Laila never fails to smile. 

In short, Laila is always happy while Mefi is not.   

Maybe it has something to do in their status of living.

Mefi is a manager and Laila is just an assistant.

Mefi earns 50,000 monthly and Laila earns 15,000 monthly.

The office had always been unfair to Laila because she had a lot of responsibility. 

Since Mefi is working for almost 2 decades in their office, she had a lot of benefits.

Mefi is working 5 hours a day while Laila is working 10 hours a day.

Mefi had a great family while Laila’s father passed away at her early age.

But why Laila is always happy and Mefi is not?

Because of their 2 habits that makes them what they are.

Mefi’s habit is comparing and complaining.

Laila’s habit is finding and fighting.

Every day, Mefi is comparing her life with someone she thinks better.  She also complains whenever something goes wrong.  Mefi is always defeated by the enemies.

While Laila finds happiness in every situation.  She never allows her enemies to take away her happiness because she is fighting for it every day.

Laila is Fighting for Happiness while Mefi is not.


Happiness is a decision

We only live once, so live like Laila.

Decide to be happy every day.

Fight for Happiness.

May God Bless you with more gratitude.

P.S.

For your information Laila is now the director of her company.  Still she never change her attitude.  Happiness is truly a blessing magnet.

Blamers never win

People who blame others for their failures never overcome them.
~ John C. Maxwell


Most people that I met whose life is unsuccessful had one thing in common:  They always look for someone to blame when things go wrong.


Blaming whenever Failing

I’ve got a friend name “Beli the unsuccessful” (Not his real name).

He blames his parents because he didn’t graduate from a top prestige college.

He blames his Alma mater for not excelling in his chosen field.

He blames the government because he doesn’t have a good job.

He blames his team mates whenever the project goes wrong.

He blames his office for not getting any benefits and increase.

And he also blames me for not helping him.

No wonder until now he is unsuccessful.

As long as people like Beli never take responsibility, they will never get out of their failures.


Find Remedy

Don’t find fault, find a remedy.
~ Henry Ford


There are 2 important things to ask to ourselves when experiencing failure.

What is God’s purpose?

What lesson have I learned?


Stop Blaming and Start Winning

May God Bless you more
