Living by Comparison is Foolish

Those who feel bigger and better are stupid.
Those who get intimidated and feel smaller, 'stupider' (a la George Orwell).

Don't forgive me if you think its harsh or hard.
Apostle Paul taught me that years back (2 Cor. 10.12-15).
I am only impressed with someone's size the first day I met him.
Thereafter I see the God who is bigger than that size, accomplishment, or
wealth;
Who can also do greater through weaker vessels.

Don't you get angry with me now
Unless if that size is what your life is all about
And unless you are fond of covering up your inadequacy and insecurity with
the consolation you find in smaller sizes.

Get a life;
Live the life;
Face your direction;
Win your crown.

Are you still there.

Thanks.

Synergy Creates Energy

Living by comparison is fatal vision, for always there will be those who appear better off and worse off than ourselves at any given moment. In truth, there is no such distinction as superior and subordinate. We all have unique talents that will blossom and flourish when nurtured.

In past decades, there was a more "look out for No. 1" and "don't bring in people who might want your job" style of leadership. You generally would hire those people who would do as they were told and who wouldn't challenge your ideas or authority. This type of thinking led to bulging bureaucracies and mediocre middle management that accomplished little. This mindset also created a scarcity mentality that there wasn't enough to go around: so don't share ideas, don't brainstorm with others who might steal your concepts, and above all, don't help your co-workers or employees succeed. We have seen that this approach clearly will not work in the global marketplace of the knowledge age.

Today the challenge is to establish networks, strategic alliances, synergistic relationships, and ad hoc teams to solve problems and help everyone accomplish their goals. You now look for those people who are not satisfied with the status quo, who are striving for excellence and have talents and abilities that you don't.

This requires that you "check your ego at the door" and that you don't get intimidated by others who may have different talents or strengths than you do. This is what synergy is all about. As we value the differences and look at truly working together, one plus one really can equal three or even more.

This week, focus on "working with others" rather than competing against others."

Leadership Lessons

In a recent article for Rick Warren's Ministry Toolbox newsletter, Senate Chaplain Barry Black wrote: "During my lifetime, I learned far more about leadership from faithful people working behind the scenes than from those who were more prominent. Here are a few of the lessons I learned.

Expect events to shape destinies. One of my earliest leadership lessons was that events, more than ability, often catapult people into positions of prominence. Shakespeare captured this notion when he said, "Be not afraid of greatness. Some men are born great, others achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon them." Without the Civil War, we may have never known the wonderful greatness of many notable Americans. Without World War II, names like Patton, Marshall, and MacArthur might be historical footnotes. Without Rosa Parks' refusal to give up her seat on that bus, we probably wouldn't have a national holiday honoring Dr. King. Events often provide the critical variables for effective leadership.

Expect leaders to have different talents. I learned early that leaders come in many forms with many styles and abilities. Some are quiet, and others almost bombastic. Some are eloquent while others express themselves with difficulty. The five presidents mentioned at the beginning of this chapter had their individual strengths and weaknesses. Nonetheless, each made a substantive difference. Most successful leaders, however, have one thing in common: they mobilize people to achieve shared objectives.

Don't run from the possibility of failure. I learned that most effective leaders are willing to fail. They seem to sense that it is better to attempt something great and fail than to not try at all. Time and again, I've seen strong leaders who possessed the courage to fall and get up repeatedly.

Be humbly hospitable. Luther Palmer was the headmaster at the boarding high school that I attended. He was the exact opposite of the stereotypically remote, distant principal. Instead, he invited students home for dinner and got to know them one-on-one. He kept an eye on students who aspired to the Gospel ministry, and set up instructional periods with key preachers who visited our school. Though a busy administrator, he took the time to teach a class called "Facing Life," which was a requirement for all students. In this way, he came to know most of us in a very personal way."

Choose Your Friends Wisely!

Friendship is by choice.

The less you associate with some people, the more your life will improve. Any time you tolerate mediocrity in others, it increases the level of your mediocrity. An important attribute in successful people is their impatience with negative thinking and negative acting people. As you grow in life, your associates will change. Some of your friends will not want you to go on. They will prefer you to stay where they are. Friends, who won't help you to climb, will always
want you to crawl. Your friends will stretch your vision or choke your dream.

Those that don't increase you will eventually decrease you.

Consider these words.

Never receive counsel from unproductive people.

Never discuss your problems with someone incapable of contributing to the solution, because those who never succeed at anything are always the first to tell you how.

Not everyone has a right to speak into your life. You are certain to get the worst of the bargain when you exchange ideas with the wrong person.

Don't follow anyone who's not going anywhere. With some people you spend an evening: with others you invest it.

Be careful where you stop to inquire for directions along the road of life.

Wise is the person who fortifies his life with the right friendships.

If you run with wolves, you will learn how to howl. But, if you associate with eagles, you will learn how to soar to great heights.

"A mirror reflects a man's face, but what he is
really like is shown by the kind of friends he chooses."

The simple but true fact of life is that you become like those with whom you closely
associate - for the good and the bad. Be not mistaken.

This is applicable to family as well as friends.

Yes...do love, appreciate and be thankful
for your family, for they will always be your family no matter what.

Just know that they are human first and though they are family to you, they may be a friend to someone else and will fit somewhere in the criteria above.

"In Prosperity Our Friends Know Us. In Adversity We Know Our Friends."

"Never make someone a priority when you are only an option for them."

"If you are going to achieve excellence in big things, you develop the habit in little matters. Excellence is not an exception, it is a prevailing attitude." Colin Powell

"Those who walk with the wise, will become wise but the companion of fools will be destroyed"

"Do not be deceived evil communication will always corrupt good manners"

Choose your friends wisely!

Are You Ready for the Social Media Revolution?

We should appraise ourselves if we are abreast of time in whatever we do. Peruse carefully please and appreciate the media trend to consider what you should do.

You can send the link to someone else if you find it interesting.

Is your interest ready for the Social Media Revolution?

Dear Reader,

Facebook. Twitter. LinkedIn. YouTube. Blogging. These are the tools of the social media revolution. Is your business ready? It had better be because frankly, the Social Media Revolution is already over, and consumers won.

What??? The revolution's already over?

Yup. If you blinked, you missed it. Don't worry, though, most of the rest of
the business world is still playing catch-up too!

Did you know that...

* If Facebook were a country, it would be third-largest in the world, and growing faster than #1 and #2 combined?
* YouTube is the 2nd largest search engine in the world. Every minute, 24
hours of video is uploaded to it.
* LinkedIn is the largest network of business professionals in the world, with over 70 million users in 200 countries. 12 million of them visit daily, and a new one joins every second.
* Millennials now outnumber Baby Boomers. 96% of them have joined a social network.
* 78% of consumers trust peer recommendations about products. Only 14% trust ads.
* 93% of all business buyers believe all companies should be on social media
platforms.

Social media isn't a fad - it's a fundamental shift in the way we communicate.
Is your business ready?

FOUR SEASONS

The following pictures are of the same place but taken under different seasons!! (be sure to scroll on past the last) OPEN SCREEN WIDE Lessons on Life There was a man who had four sons. He wanted his sons to learn not to judge things too quickly. So he sent them each on a quest, in turn, to go and look at a pear tree that was a great distance away. The first son went in the winter, the second in the spring, the third in Summer and the youngest son in the fall. When they had all gone and come back, he called them together to describe what they had seen. The first son said that the tree was ugly, bent, and twisted. The second son said no it was covered with green buds and full of promise. The third son disagreed; he said it was laden with blossoms that smelled so sweet and looked so beautiful, it was the most graceful thing he had ever seen. The last son disagreed with all of them; he said it was ripe and drooping with fruit, full of life and fulfillment. The man then explained to his sons that they were all right, because they had each seen but only one season in the tree's life. He told them that you cannot judge a tree, or a person, by only one season, and that the essence of who they are and the pleasure, joy, and love that come from that life can only be measured at the end, when all the seasons are up. If you give up when it's winter, you will miss the promise of your spring, the beauty of your summer, fulfillment of your fall. Moral: Don't let the pain of one season destroy the joy of all the rest. Don't judge life by one difficult season.   Persevere through the difficult patches and better times are sure to come some time or  later..

Principles to Live By - Steve Goodier

Groucho Marx once quipped, 'Those are my principles, and if you don't like them ... well, I have others.' Though he is joking, I wonder if he is actually hitting close to home. I need to regularly check in with myself and ask questions like, "Is the thing I'm doing now guided by sound principles?

Principled people are the heart and soul of a society. But who teaches our young people about character? Who teaches them how important it is to be honest and to do what is right?

Even ETHICS classes might not touch on matters of character. They discuss the medical ethics of cloning, stem cell research and genetic engineering. They consider euthanasia, abortion and capital punishment. And they even look at the ethics of governments and multi-national corporations.

But one college professor recently made a disturbing discovery: she assumed her students shared her principles of honesty, honor, integrity, and the like. She taught ethics, but assumed that her students shared her personal ethical standards.

Then one day she dropped an armful of final exams on her desk in disgust and complained that over 50% of her students CHEATED on their social justice exam. (Do you think they caught the irony here?) They'd spent months learning about ethical issues most societies face, but they never discussed personal morality. They could talk convincingly about good and bad behaviors of corporations, governments and societies, but they cheated on their exams. They just didn't get it: cheating is wrong. And can we expect societies, governments and businesses to do better than the people who run them and live in them?

Principled people are the heart and soul of our lives together. Church leader John Wesley simplifies it for us. In regards to what is right and wrong, he says simply this:

"Do all the good you can,
By all the means you can,
In all the ways you can,
In all the places you can,
At all the times you can,
To all the people you can,
As long as ever you can."

I think those are principles I want to live by.

The Missing Secret of Victorious Living

I am constantly amazed at the folly of Christians. Even those who know, and those who preach, the message of victorious living through Christ alone, seem to me to miss the simple secret of making it functional. And I'm still trying to fathom why.

Perhaps it is that there's a secret within a secret, or if you will, a secret passage to the secret room. And yet both in truth have been open secrets ever since Christ lived and died and rose again for us nearly two thousand years ago.

It must surely be that even Christians don't find these secrets to be acceptable answers to their quest for victory and holiness and godliness. They simply aren't to their liking. So thy reject them. Or they ignore them.

CHRIST PREEMINENT

The secret room is the goal of the Christian life: "that in all things He might have the preeminence" (Col. 1:18).

This is victory. This is holiness. This is godliness!
-"That in all things He might have the preeminence."

The old Westminster catechism asked: "What is the chief end of man?" And it answered: "To glorify God and enjoy Him forever."

The enjoyment part has been perfectly acceptable through all t he ages, if it could be on our terms; but as to glorifying God, that is another matter. You see, I can't seek that Christ be preeminent or God be glorified while wanting my own way.

WHO WILL IT BE?

I have a choice. It is my way or His. My will or His. My pleasure or His.

My enjoyment or His. My goals or His. My hopes or His. My thoughts or His.

My life or His. My honor or His. My praise or His. My glory of His.

It is dependence on Him or on myself. It is trust in Him or in myself. It is love for Him or for myself. It is I having the preeminence or God having the preeminence. It is God being glorified or I being glorified.

It is either "Not I but Christ" (Gal. 2:20) or Not Christ, but I.

And if I refuse to die that Christ might live in me in newness of life, there's no holiness, there's no godliness, there's no victory.

Oh, true, I might change some of my outward habits, but inside I'm the same self-centered person whose pride and selfishness hung Christ on the cross.

CROWNED OR CRUCIFIED?

You see when I crown myself lord of my life, I crucify Him. Only when I'm ready to let Him put me t o the cross, can I crown Him Lord of my life.

Who then will be crowned, Christ or I?

Who then will be crucified, I or Christ?

No wonder with such a question at its heart we prefer not to acknowledge the open secret of Christian victory. No wonder we prefer to pretend we don't know.

But what about the passage to the secret room, the secret surrounding the secret, the secret access to the secret room?

It is even more of an open secret.

It is secret prayer.

THE SECRET IS SECRET PRAYER

Now, just stop and think a moment. "What would you expect all godly men to have in common as the secret of their spiritual lives?" How long do you suppose, even without any
prompting, it would take you to say, "Prayer".

Can you imagine the shock and disbelief on the part of a Christian congregation if their pastor were to mention in a Sunday service that the most godly man with whom he had ever
been acquainted didn't pray?

For all equally the secret passage to the secret room of spiritual victory is secret prayer.

Start today!

So, my dear friend, start seeking God today alone in the secret place.

Spend much time there not seeking help for temporal concerns but seeking His face, His glory, His honor, His praise. Worship Him, Adore Him. Love Him. Thank Him. Wait on Him. Let Him speak. Let Him convict. Let Him correct. Give Him the praise and the preeminence.

And though it takes ever so long, I certify that He will begin to have His way. Little by little you will begin to yield to Him and His will and His way and His power and His glory. Little by little it will become your desire "that in all things He might have the preeminence." Things both
superficial and hurtful will equally begin to drop off, and you will begin to know His victory "that in all things He might have the preeminence."

by Pastor Ron Marr

Emmanuel - God with Us

Max Lucado tells about his neighbor who was trying to teach his 6-year-old son how to shoot a basketball. They were out in the backyard. The father shot a couple of times, saying, "Do it just like that, son; it's real easy." The little boy tried very hard but he couldn't get the ball 10 feet into the air. The little fellow got more and more frustrated. Finally, after hearing his father talk about how easy it was for the 10th time, the boy said, "It's easy for you up there. You don't know how hard it is from down here."

You and I never can say that about God. When Jesus became man and lived among us, He walked where we walk; He suffered what we suffer; He was tempted as we are tempted. He was Emmanuel, which means, "God is with us."
(Bill Bouknight, Collected Sermons)

"I Do Not Remember"

How little we understand of eternal redemption! How many times will God forgive you? If you have truly set your heart to follow Him, He will cancel your sins as often as you ask. Will He forgive you of the worst sin you can think of? Yes! You may have to live with the consequences of your misdeed, but the redemptive power of God is such that, even in your sin, there are many things of value to be reclaimed. As for the sin itself, if you deeply and sincerely repent of it, not only will God forgive you, He will blot it out of His memory.

Let me share an experience. A certain man of God had been gifted with revelatory insight into people's lives. During an evening service he ministered to a Presbyterian pastor and his wife. By the gift of the Spirit, he revealed the couple's past, uncovered their present situation and then disclosed to them what was to come. This work of God greatly impressed the couple, and as the prophecies were fulfilled, one month later the Presbyterian minister brought two other pastors, each with their wives, to another service for personal ministry.

The word of knowledge was exceptionally sure that night, and the second minister and his wife marveled at the accuracy and truth in the prophetic word. The third couple stepped forward for ministry and again the word of knowledge was present. The prophet spoke to the husband, revealing his past, present and insight into his future. Then the man of God turned to this third minister's wife. As he began to speak of her past, suddenly he stopped. "There was a very serious sin in your past." The woman, with her worst fear seemingly upon her, turned pale and closed her eyes. The congregation hushed and moved to the edge of their seats.

The prophet continued, "And I asked the Lord, 'What was this sin that she committed?' And the Lord answered, 'I do not remember!'"

The Lord had been faithful to His promise: "I will not remember your sins" (Isa. 43:25). Although many times this minister's wife had asked for cleansing, still she could not believe the depth of God's forgiveness. Christ had placed her sin in the sea of His forgetfulness. He removed it "as far as the east is from the west" (Ps. 103:12). From everywhere but the prison of her own mind, her sin had been paid for and removed. And now, in His great mercy, He removed it from there as well!

Oh, what burdens we carry, what guilt and limitations surround us because we do not accept God's total and perfect forgiveness. In Isaiah we read, "I, even I, am the one who wipes out your transgressions for My own sake; and I will not remember your sins" (Isa. 43:25).

How great is the God we serve. How wonderful is His love toward us. He is our Redeemer! Our Savior! If you are willing to forgive others and will but ask Him to forgive you, He will pardon your debts as often as you contritely turn to Him. He promises He will remember your sins no more.

10 Reasons You're Probably Going to Fail

In a recent blog posting, Tony Morgan talks about reasons why leaders fail:

It's not your passion.
If it doesn't make your heart beat fast or cause your mind to race when you're trying to sleep, you're probably doing the wrong thing.

You don't have a plan.
You need a vision, and you need to identify specific steps to make that vision become reality. That includes a financial plan. (I happen to believe you need direction from God on this.)

You're waiting for it to be perfect.
Test-drive it. Beta-test that new idea. You'll fall into the trap of inaction if you think it has to be absolutely right from day one.

You're not willing to work hard.
Everything worth pursuing in my life has involved discipline and perseverance.

It'll outgrow you.
Keep learning. Keep growing. But more importantly, build a team of people including leaders who can be who you're not.

You've had success in the past.
I've watched organizations hang on to a good idea for too long. Time passes. Momentum fades. It's risky to let go of the past and jump on the next wave.

You're unwilling to stop doing something else.
Complexity is easy. Simplicity takes discipline. You can't build a healthy marriage if you're unwilling to give up dating other women. Who/what do you need to stop dating?

You won't build a team of friends.
Anyone can hire from a resume. You need to find people you want to share life with. In the long run, great relationships will get you out of bed in the morning.

You won't have the tough conversations.
When breakdown happens (and it always does), someone needs to put on their big-boy pants and initiate the difficult conversation that leads to relational healing.

You're afraid of failure.
When fear consumes you, it will cause you to do stupid things. You'll let negativity distract you. You'll embrace the known and grow comfortable with mediocrity. The more often you fail, though, the more often you'll find success.

Ponder and Adjust

I found this coffee talk rewarding. See if you do.

A carrot, an egg, and a cup of coffee...

You will never look at a cup of coffee the same way again.

A young woman went to her mother and told her about her life and how things were so hard for her. She did not know how she was going to make it and wanted to give up; She was tired of fighting and struggling. It seemed as one problem was solved, a new one arose.

Her mother took her to the kitchen. She filled three pots with water and placed each on a high fire. Soon the pots came to boil. In the first she placed carrots, in the second she placed eggs, and in the last she placed ground coffee beans. She let them sit and boil; without saying a word.

In about twenty minutes she turned off the burners. She fished the carrots out and placed them in a bowl. She pulled the eggs out and placed them in a bowl. Then she ladled the coffee out and placed it in a bowl. Turning to her daughter, she asked, ' Tell me what you see.'

'Carrots, eggs, and coffee,' she replied.

Her mother brought her closer and asked her to feel the carrots. She did and noted that they were soft. The mother then asked the daughter to take an egg and break it. After pulling off the shell, she observed the hard boiled egg.

Finally, the mother asked the daughter to sip the coffee. The daughter smiled as she tasted its rich aroma. The daughter then asked, 'What does it mean, mother?'

Her mother explained that each of these objects had faced the same adversity: boiling water. Each reacted differently. The carrot went in strong, hard, and unrelenting. However, after being subjected to the boiling water, it softened and became weak. The egg had been fragile. Its thin outer shell had protected its liquid interior, but after sitting through the boiling water, its inside became hardened. The ground coffee beans were unique, however. After they were in the boiling water, they  had changed the water.

'Which are you?' she asked her daughter. 'When adversity knocks on your door,how do you respond? Are you a carrot, an egg or a coffee bean?

Think of this: Which am I? Am I the carrot that seems strong, but with pain and adversity do I wilt and become soft and lose my strength?

Am I the egg that starts with a malleable heart, but changes with the heat? Did I have a fluid spirit, but after a death, a breakup, a financial hardship or some other trial, have I become hardened and stiff? Does my shell look the same, but on the inside am I bitter and tough with a stiff spirit and hardened heart?

Or am I like the coffee bean? The bean actually changes the hot water, the very circumstance that brings the pain. When the water gets hot, it releases the fragrance and flavor. If you are like the bean, when things are at their worst,you get better and change the situation around you. When the hour is the darkest and trials are their greatest  do you elevate yourself to another level? How do you handle adversity? Are you a carrot, an egg or a coffee bean?

May you have enough happiness to make you sweet, enough trials to make you strong, enough sorrow to keep you human and enough hope to make you happy..

The happiest of people don't necessarily have the best of everything; they just make the most of everything that comes along their way. The brightest future will always be based on a forgotten past; you can't go forward in life until you let go of your past failures and heartaches.

When you were born, you were crying and everyone around you was smiling. Live your life so at the end, you're the one who is smiling and everyone around you is crying.

You might want to pass this message to those people who mean something to you , to those who have touched your life in one way or another; to those who make you smile when you really need it; to those who make you see the brighter side of things when you are really down; to those whose friendship you appreciate; to those who are so meaningful in your life.

If you don't, you will just miss out on the opportunity to brighten someone's day with this message!

COFFEE ANYONE ?

Beware!!!!!!!!

I received this from a friend. It could save someone's life

Please take time to read!!!!!!!! Very important!!!!!!!!

A good friend of ours in Mequon lost their 25 year old son (Arun Gopal Ratnam) in a fire at home June 4th.

This is what happened. He graduated with MBA from University of Wisconsin-Madison two weeks earlier and came home. Had a lunch with his dad at home and decided to go back to clean up his room at school. Father told him to wait and see his mother before he goes back for a few days.

He decided to take a nap while waiting for his mom to come home from work.

Neighbors called 911 when they saw black smoke coming out of the house. Their 25 year old son Arun died in the three year old house. It took several days of investigation to find out the cause of the fire.

It was determined that the fire was caused by lap top in the bed.

When the lap top is on the bed cooling fan does not get air to cool the computer and that is what caused the fire.

He did not even wake up to get out of the bed he died of carbon monoxide (CO).

The reason I'm writing this to all of you is that I have seen all of us using our lap top in bed. Let us all decide and make it a practice not to do that. Risk is real. Let us make it a rule not to use lap top in bed or put computer on bed with blankets and pillows around.

Thanks and best regards,
