God's grace is immeasurable; His mercy inexhaustible; His peace inexpressible...~

Life will at times be difficult, often it is painful and for now it is imperfect. But still it is good, for in all these things nothing can separate us from God's lavish expressions of love (Romans 8:39).

Thank you, loving Father, for the good gift of life. Forgive me for making it complicated for myself and others. I thank you and praise You for all You do so that I can enjoy so much. Amen...~

God's grace is immeasurable; His mercy inexhaustible; His peace inexpressible...~

A friend is the first person who comes in when the whole world has gone out...~

Since I have no gold to give and love alone must make amends, my daily prayer is while I live ~ "God, make me worthy of my friends."

A friend is the first person who comes in when the whole world has gone out...~

How to Stay Happy and Positive Some Easy Tips

Self-enhancement is the key to stay happy and positive. Here are some easy tips

* Take time to acknowledge personal accomplishments and celebrate success in a manner that can strengthen relationships. Keeping good social and personal relations are very effective means avoiding stress.
* Take good care of yourself. When you feel good, you also feel good and vice versa. Love yourself each day. Tell yourself ‘I love you’ and give yourself a hug everyday.
* Wear a smile everyday, compliment at least one person in the day, greet people, and take each day as the first day of the rest of your life. Do something new every day or as often as you can.
* Practice self-help methods, like writing journals, being passionate about work, taking on some hobbies, improving social life by meeting up with friends and relatives.
* Figure out your fun quotient of the day.
* Avoid procrastinations and perfectionism.
* Eat healthy and exercise regularly. For this, all one needs to do is wear one’s exercise shoes and step on one’s treadmill for a few minutes or even better, jog on beautiful beach side.
* Avoid addictions or any such risk-driven activity.

If there is a negative pattern in your life, opt for group or family counseling.

Here is some food for thought:

* Be assertive instead of being aggressive.
* Control anxiety by identifying one’s irrational thoughts and beliefs and rectifying them.
* Instead of cribbing, accept loss gracefully and move on with life.
* Replace low self-esteem with good-self image by always choosing to think positive, strengthening your talents and learning from your mistakes.
* Overcome ‘boredom’ with introduction of changes and passion in life.
* When feeling sad or low, you can have an attitude towards good thingsof life, and observing how you are better compared to some others who are not.
