A Constant I Can Always Trust While Traveling Life’s Journey
We start in one place may well end up in another place. We never know where life will take us, do we? Life is indeed a journey. Life is not only a physical journey, but also a spiritual journey. Some people don’t have a very good start spiritually speaking and don’t go too far either. It often depends on whether or not the right people come into their lives and influence them in a positive way. There was a story [...]
Standing Firm when Life Doesn’t Seem Fair
Life isn’t fair. I am 100% certain that you have either said that, thought that, or heard that before. We see injustice on a daily basis. On the news, we can see innocent people killed in drive by shootings, while the killers go free. In our neighborhoods, we see good people get cancer while those who seem to live hard partying lives, remain healthy. In the movies, we see those who live lifestyles are focused only on looking good and [...]
What Happens When You Are Genuinely Concerned About Others?
Yesterday, I wrote a piece about one sure thing to cultivating friendship. Toward the last part of the post, I quoted this line about love, “Love is the utmost concern for the welfare of others”. I took this line about love as my own definition of love when I was growing up as a teenager and later as a young man. Now, there are certain things happen when you’re genuinely concerned about others. And that’s what I would like to [...]
One Sure Thing to Having 100 Friends That Lasts a Lifetime
As I prepare to write an article I often think of the things I need to read. So this post is just as much for me as it is for you, as we successfully walk together in this journey called life. I remember a story of an incident at a Special Olympics where handicapped children competed with tremendous dedication & enthusiasm. One event was the 220-yard dash. Contestants lined up at the starting line, & at the signal, started running [...]
The Rise and Fall of Nine Richest Men of The World
Millions of people think of fame and fortune when they measure success or a successful life journey. Fame and fortune does not guarantee a person a successful life journey. In fact, just like any huge responsibility, fame and fortune requires a significantly higher degree of resolve and personal discipline, coupled with a strong morality to really handle the pressures that comes with it. Seldom a person is ready to be that strong to absorb those pressures of life that fame [...]
3 Things God Gave At Christmas When He Gave Jesus
What Did God Gave this Christmas? In Jesus Christ, God gave us the opportunity for the forgiveness of our sins. You see, we’ll never have peace with our fellow man until first we’re at peace with ourselves. And we can never really be at peace with ourselves until we’re at peace with God. And we can never be at peace with God until our sins have been forgiven. I heard something unusual a few years ago. In the Eastern part [...]
The Real Villain Lies Within Our Hearts Says, Father of Columbine Student 12 YEARS LATER!!
In the wake of the recent Sandy Hook massacre. Here is what Darell Scott, the father of Rachel Scott, have to say in front of House Judiciary Committee on Thursday, totally caught the committee off guard and feeling uncomfortable. What he said to our national leaders during this special session of Congress was painfully truthful. They were not prepared for what he was to say, nor was it received well. It needs to be heard by every parent, every teacher, [...]
Peace, Goodwill to Men, and Other Reasons that makes Christmas Worth Celebrating
There was a scene in the cartoon Charlie Brown. It’s Christmas time, & Lucy comes in where Charlie Brown is standing & says, “Merry Christmas, Charlie Brown. `Tis the season of peace on earth & good will toward men. Therefore, I suggest we forget all our differences & love one another.” Charlie Brown, whose face lights up at this, says, “That’s wonderful, Lucy. I’m so glad you said that. But tell me, do we have to love each other only [...]
One Can Still Emerge Victorious In The Midst Of Defeat: Lessons From Manny Pacquiao Loss
Three days has past and honestly, it has been difficult for me to think that Manny Pacquiao could have lost in such a fashion as he did to the Mexican counter-puncher Juan Manuel Marquez last Sunday. As a boxing and sport fan, I tip my hat off to the Mexican champion. It was a helluva right hand that landed flush on the chin. I watched the fight on delayed telecast and just like millions of fans all over the world, [...]
Sure Things You Will NOT Regret if the World Ends in 2012
2012 is almost over. As the world waits in eager(some dreadful) anticipation for the clock to strike 2013, more and more people around the world ponder existential questions themselves. If the Mayan calendar is held to lend some truth, it will be the end of the world as we know it in 12-21-2012., just a few days from now. Let’s say the world would indeed end this month, assuming you have just enough time to make some changes to how [...]
