When the World See Change

Change comes about to create financial success and prosperity, when people work together to create opportunities to establish financial growth, that will create wealth to benefit all people.

When those who are able to work using their skills and talents, see their financial income increase, as they become wealthier, and their riches are manifested through profits that enables them to help others climb the ladder of success, this bring about change in communities and neighborhoods, throughout the world.

Good leadership develop a peaceful bond between communities and neighborhoods, that builds strong relationships for change, to allow financial success to flow into our nations, creating good educational programs that produce long lasting jobs with adequate benefits and wages, that will allow people to retire with a great financial income.

No one should be in debt when they retire. The life of a retired person should be happy. That person should be financially secured, and in a position to help others benefit from his or her skills and talents.  Stress does not belong in the same category with financial success and prosperity.

Quote: 
Then he said unto them, Go your way, eat the fat, and drink the sweet, and send portions unto them for whom nothing is prepared: for this day is holy unto our LORD: neither be ye sorry; for the joy of the LORD is your strength. (Nehemiah 8:10) KJV

Good Intentions Do Not Qualify for the Role of Management

People with good intentions do not always meet the qualifications to handle the role they have been given in management. Having good intentions does not qualify a person for the job he or she has been trusted with.

The couple whose friend entrusted to take care of her child, had good intentions to manage the role of being his guardians while his mother was away for a few hours did not qualify for this position: The child died while in their care during those few hours. The child, being a toddler, ingested a poison chemical the couple had sitting in his presence uncapped.

When an individual accept the role of management, he or she should have a plan in place to protect and secure the whole team. Taking on the role of a manager with good intentions alone, does not meet the qualifications for such position: It is guaranteed to fail. The idea should be to move forward together, with a plan in place to create job growth that will produce successful achievements. That can only happen when management cares about the whole team’s protection and security.

When Hate is Too Great a Burden to Bear

“I have decided to stick with love. Hate is too great a burden to bear.”

 Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. (Life Quotes)

Thine hand shall find out all thine enemies: thy right hand shall find out those that hate thee. ~ Psalm 21:8 (King James Version) 

My Thoughts: 

When we talk less and listen closely to things that are published, we can gather lots of information, including some negative things that are being said about us. Some of the talk that is “heard through the grapevine,” comes from people who we discover to be our enemies. That’s when we have to use our knowledge to determine how we want to deal with those who hate us. 

Hating those who hate us is too great a burden to bear. But, we know we can’t ever turn our back to our enemies. We have to watch and pray, and always be prepared to defend ourselves with a sound and righteous plan. Our enemies are always plotting and looking for ways to destroy us.

The enemy doesn’t care how he or she destroys. Their only purpose is to win. They have no remorse. They see their accomplishment as a victory. An enemy can’t be a friend. That would be impossible.

When Unpleasant News Causes a Lack of Hope

News Headlines
July 06, 2012 Weak job report out today: 
84,000 jobs reportedly were added in June. Many are disappointed.

“Very seldom will a person give up on himself. He continues to have hope because he knows he has the potential for change ... Yet people are very quick to give up on friends, and especially on their spouses, to declare them hopeless, and to either walk away or do nothing more than resign themselves to a bad situation”.

Hugh Prather (Life Quotes Lib)

Why art thou cast down, O my soul?  And why art thou disquieted in me? Hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise him for the help of his countenance. Psalm 42:5 (K.J.V)

Yet the Lord will command his lovingkindness in the daytime, and in the night his song shall be with me, and my prayer unto the God of my life.   Psalm 42:8 (K.J.V)

My Thoughts:

Hope is the strength that everyone needs to persevere in the face of unpleasant news.  It is a waste of time and energy to focus on unpleasant news, when one can best help themselves and others by thinking of ways to deal with an unpleasant situation, in a positive manner.

In regards to the economy, we have to work together and help each other. Blaming someone else for the slow growth of the economy, won’t help it to grow.  There are too many other reasons for the cause of the economy to be weak; some of them are beyond our human ability to understand.

When each of us look within ourselves as having the ability to change things, and is willing to work with others to bring about positive changes, we are a powerful force.  With God on our side, nothing can stop our success.

Competing Against all Odds

In today’s world, many of us are competing against all odds, while climbing the ladder of success. The competition is very tough and stressful. We have to be willing to make tough sacrifices that will include lots of self- discipline, while climbing the ladder of success with lots of others, who want the same things we do - and are willing to compete at any cost, to gain power and wealth.

For females, it can be a challenge when working with a large group of males. This is when you find out who you are: Can you compete in a man’s world? Do you have the stuff it takes to maintain self-worth, and achievement? Are you hungry enough to take your stand on the same battlefield in life, and fight for power and wealth, and walk away when the battle is over with honor and power?

To be a successful competitor, one has to be committed to their goal. The answer to each of the questions  above, has to be YES!

Regardless of gender, one has to be willing to take what belongs and what has been promised, by not backing down and by not giving up.  Never be willing to throw in the towel and accept defeat!

"Here is the world.  Beautiful and terrible things will happen.  Don't be afraid".  ~Frederick Buechner

Challenges: 

Character assassination, grudges, jealousy, hate, lies, sexual advances,  plots to end another individual's career, or cause someone to lose their job.

If you have worked hard to accomplish your goals, and have invested  financial income, spent many hours in class rooms, and training to get an education, and  have made many sacrifices toward your career, or a position you hold on your job, competing on the same battlefield of life, while climbing the ladder of success, with others; many of whom are arrogant, greedy, mean, selfish and are uncaring. Some of those same people are without a conscious: Being afraid is not an option for you. You have earned the beautiful things that life offers by staying committed to your goals. Enjoy your success!
