DIGGING OUT TREASURE

Wisdom of digging out your treasure is like a
man who had two children and this man was
very rich but the children were lazy and
wayward. They couldn't do anything
successfully, and when the time came for this
rich man to rest in the Lord, the man sold all his
property and bought a land and called his
children, showed them the land which he
bought, also told them that all his treasures are
buried in the land they should dig it out for
their colourful living.
These boys were happy, thinking they will see
gold and silver immediately they dig the
ground. After their father had died and was
buried. They went to the fallow ground by
themselves to clear the bush · and dig the
ground in search of treasure, but to no avail.
They thought of their father's action and
discovered that the man meant to destroy the
spirit of laziness and waywardness out of
them. Armed with this knowledge, they
cultivated the land and harvested gold and
silver.
Friends, you have to dig the Holy Bible and find out your treasure. Your prosperity, success,peace and marriage are there,promotion, victory and your deliverance are there. The Bible is the Manuel for your successful living.



YOU HAVE LIMIT

So remember, the only thing that keeps so many of us stuck in this debilitating cycle is the fantasy in our minds that we can be everything to everyone, everywhere at once, and a hero on all fronts. But again, that’s not reality. The reality is we’re not Superman or Wonder Woman we’re human, and we have limits. We have to let go of this idea of doing everything and pleasing everyone and being everywhere at once. You’re either going to do a few things well, or do everything poorly. That’s the truth.

YOUR PAST NEED TO DIE FIRST

Before you can truly live today, a part of you has to die first. You have to let go and bury what could have been, how you should have responded and what you wish you would have done differently. You have to accept that you can’t change a past experience, opinions of others at that moment in time, or outcomes from their choices or yours. When you finally accept this truth, then you will finally understand the true meaning of forgiving yourself and others. From this point you will finally be present and free. Go ahead! Let go. Forgive. Be present and free.

AVOIDING LIFE CHALLENGE IS AVOIDING TEACHING

You cannot find peace by avoiding life. Life spins with unexpected changes; so instead of avoiding it, take every change and experience as a challenge for growth. Either it will give you what you want or it will teach you what the next step is. And remember, finding peace in life does not mean to be in a place where there is no noise, no challenges, and no hard work. It means to be in the midst of those things while remaining calm in your heart. Honestly, life is too short to spend at war with yourself. The biggest disappointments in our lives are often the result of misplaced expectations. Letting go of needless expectations is your first step to happiness. Come from a mindset of peace and acceptance, and you can deal with almost anything and grow beyond it.

LOVE YOURSELF FIRST

Remember, the way you treat yourself sets the standard for others. You must love who you are or no one else will. So treat yourself the way you want others to treat you. Stop discrediting yourself for everything you aren’t, and start giving yourself credit for everything you ARE. We have to learn to be our own best friends, because sometimes we fall too easily into the trap of being our own worst enemies. Honestly, the amount of abuse you tolerate in your relationships is often equal tothe amount of abuse you heap on yourself. If you are used to telling yourself that you’re unattractive, that you are destined to fail, and that you’re not capable of performing in the world without someone holding your hand, then you will accept and feel most comfortable in relationships with people who reinforce these same negative beliefs. Because that’s what careless words do – they clutter your mind and make you love yourself and life a little less. So when you’re hanging out by yourself, watch how you talk to yourself.Watch your thoughts. Keep in mind that it is only ever our own thoughts that hurt us. It’s how we choose to think about it all. You know this is true. You think 60,000 thoughts a day. Don’t waste fifty nine thousand, nine hundred and ninety-nine of them on limited, negative thinking. In fact, review your self-talk right now. How well have you chosen the words you’ve recently used to talk to yourself? Have you put them to positive or negative use? If I eaves dropped on your self-talk a minute ago, would I have heard statements that empower happiness, or statements that refute it? The bottom line is that your relationship with yourself is the closest and most important relationship you will ever, ever have. So let me ask you this: When was the last time someone told you that they loved you just the way you are, and that what you think and how you feel matters? When was the last time someone told you that you did a great job, or took you someplace special to celebrate one of your small, everyday victories, simply because they know you deserve it? When was the last time that “someone” was YOU?

PAINS COMES FOR A PURPOSE

Imagine all the wondrous things your mind might embrace if it weren’t wrapped so tightly around your struggles. Always look at what you have, instead of what you have lost. Because it’s not what the world takes away from you that counts; it’s what you do with what you have left. Yes, sometimes life closes doors because it’s time to move forward. And that’s a great thing because we often won’t move unless circumstances force us to. When times are tough, remind yourself that no pain comes without a purpose. Move on from what hurt you, but never forget what it taught you.

WORTH PLACES WHAT IS ALL ABOUT

There are no shortcuts to any place worth going. You have to do hard things to be happy in life. The things no one else is doing. The things that frighten you. The things others can’t do for you. The things that make you question how much longer you can hold on and push forward. Why? Because those are the things that define you. Those are the things that make the difference between existing and living – between knowing the path and walking the path.

NEVER GET TOO BUSY IN LIFE

Never get so busy making a living that you forget to make a life for yourself. Never get so busy that you don’t have time to be kind and connect with others. The happiest lives are connected to quality relationships. If you are too busy to share an occasional laugh with someone, you are too busy.
Truth be told, sometimes we’re so busy watching out for what’s just ahead of us that we don’t take time to enjoy where we are and who we’re with. So lift your head up today and appreciate those standing beside you. The people you take for granted today may turn out to be the only ones you need tomorrow.

IF YOU ARE TIRED OF YOUR SITUATION, THIS FOR YOU

Are you tired of your situation? Are you feeling restless or distressed or lonely? Are you feeling sad or depressed? Why don’t you make yourself at home in the World of God where there is joy, peace, love, healing, deliverance, salvation and all of God’s blessings? Jesus Christ says to you, “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest” (Matthew 11:28). In the world of God, there is rest. “…where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom” (1 Corinthians 3:16). In the world of God there is freedom. “Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you” (John 14:27). In the world of God there is peace. In the world of God, there is love (John 3:16). When you delight in God’s Word, you make yourself at home in the World of God and become more familiar with the way He speaks and with the way in which you answer Him with your life. When you pray, you speak to God. When you open your Bible and read with devotion, God speaks to you and when God speaks to you, changes are beginning in your life. He wants to think, talk, plan and act with you. He wants you to see life the way He sees it. He wants you to get His ideas and work with His projects. He wants you to get His opinion of yourself and others. So, make yourself at home in the World of God by talking to God and letting God talk to you for there can be no real communion or communication unless both partake in the conversation. When you learn what God has made you for and how He treasures your company, you will be content, happy and self-sufficient. Make yourself at home in the World of God today!

YOU DONT KNOW YOUR WORTH. THIS YOUR WORTH.

*When someone treats you like you’re just one of many options, help them narrow their choice by removing yourself from the equation. Sometimes you have to try not to care, no matter how much you do. Because sometimes you can mean almost nothing to someone who means so much to you. It’s not pride – it’s self-respect. Don’t expect to see positive changes in your life if you surround yourself with negative people. Don’t give part-time people a full-time position in your life. Know your value and what you have to offer, and never settle for anything less than what you deserve.

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT HAPPINESS

Let me tell you a secret I’ve learned about happiness. Nobody is happy all of the time. It’s perfectly normal to experience considerable fluctuations in your level of happiness from day to day, month to month, and even year to year. In fact, according to a recent scientific study, overall levels of happiness decline from one’s teens until one’s 40s and then pick up again until they peak in one’s early 70s. So the chances are that your happiest days are yet to come. Hopefully that gives you something to smile about today.

WHAT YOU NEED TO DO SOMETIME

It’s not always about trying to fix something that’s broken. Sometimes it’s about starting over and creating something better. Sometimes you need to distance yourself to see things clearly. Sometimes growing up means growing apart from old habits, relationships, and situations, and finding something new that truly moves you – something that gets you so excited you can’t wait to get out of bed in the morning. That’s what life is all about. Don’t settle.

BE YOURSELF

Decide this minute to never again beg anyone for the love, respect, and attention that you should be showing yourself. Be your own best friend. Trust your inner spirit and follow your instincts. Accept who you are completely, the good and the bad, and make changes in your life as yov see fit, not because you think anyone else wants you to be different, but because you know it’s the right thing to do, for you

BRING JOY

It is important that you recognize your progress and take pride in your accomplishments.
Share your achievements with others. Brag a little.
The recognition and support of those around you is nurturing. You have to learn the rules of the game. And then you have to play better than anyone else. If you want to live a happy life, tie it to a goal, not to people or things. When others know joy, your life will be filled with happiness. When you express your gratitude, you will bring joy to others’ lives.
Let's make a happy moment by sharing!

YOUR CHANCE

Everything you know is ending. Not yet, but soon enough. What you must decide is what you want to do with the time you have left. If your lifespan were to expire this evening at the stroke of midnight, would you be at ease with how you have spent your time today? This is not a rhetorical question. Nothing is guaranteed.
Someday, like many others are experiencing right this second, your time will expire. Don’t be afraid. Be alive in this moment and make the most of it. Right now is your chance

USELESS THINKING

It takes a long time to learn how to not judge yourself through someone else’s eyes, but once you do the world is yours for the taking. We have all been placed on this earth to discover our own life,and we will never be happy or successful if we try to live someone else’s idea of it. So give up worrying too much about what others think of you. What they think isn’t all that important. What is important is how you feel about yourself.

YOUR OWN WAY

You have your own way. For you, this way of living is the absolute right way. Honor it.
One of the most influential sources of peace is simply being comfortable with who you really are. Not trading your reality for a role, or your truth for an act. Not giving up your freedom of thought. Not putting on a mask.

MAKE YOUR CHOICE

You have the potential to reach greatness, but you have to choose it. To reach greatness, sacrifices must be made. You have to be willing to dig deeper within yourself, push harder, and climb higher every day. When obstacles arise, as they will, you must break through them because you know it’s the only option. Yes, there will be pain, there will be sweat, and there will be suffering. But where others fall and give up, you must choose to rise again and try again. Everyone makes a choice, one way or the other. Have you made yours?

DONT BE WORRY WERE YOU ARE GOING

Accept the feeling of not knowing exactly where you are going, and train yourself to love and appreciate this sensation of freedom. Because it is only when you are suspended in the air, with no destination in sight, that you force your wings to open fully so you can fly. And as you soar around you still may not know where you’re traveling to. But that’s not what’s important. What’s important is the opening of your wings. You may not know where you’re going, but you know that so long as your wings are spread, the winds will carry you forward.
