From my Inbox...

Let me share another inspiring one from my "Inbox"...oh, well, guess need it more than anyone else here...still read on!

May GOD answer all our prayers...Amen.

When you're persistent you find the power to hold on
and persevere in spite of anything. You're able to
overcome every obstacle and you do all that's
necessary to succeed.
Persistence does not mean you will not fail. but
it does mean that when you feel defeated you rise
above your disappointment and keep trying. Instead
of giving up when all seems hopeless, you find a way
to keep going. You simply refuse to give up.
Great things will come your way when you persist
and endure what seems possible. No, it's not easy,
but remember big achievements require time.
Be patient and don't give up, you can persevere and
you will succeed.
Fighting against despair will usually just serve to deepen and prolong it.
Instead of fighting against despair, overwhelm it with joy.
The best way to move away from something negative is to move toward something positive.
For every ounce of discouragement that comes your way, respond with a pound of positive, joyful living.
Rather than being overly concerned about what you're fighting against,
find yourself something to live for.
Put your time and energy in a positive, productive,
creative, life-affirming direction.
Imagine what would happen if you were disrespectful,
rude and insulting to another person,
and yet that person offered you nothing but kindness,
respect and gratitude in return. How long would you be able to
maintain such a negative approach?
Probably not very long, for your negativity would soon be overwhelmed
by the sincere kindness being returned to you. In the same way,
you can overwhelm the negativity that comes your way.
Respond to life with kindness, with joy, with positive,
productive action and enthusiasm.
Overwhelm the difficult world with goodness and joy.
