faith-pm-smHave you ever found yourself in a place where encouragement is lacking? And that no matter how hard you try, no matter what you do, it seems that you cannot make any progress in reaching any of the goals you have set for your life.

We all have times when we just feel like giving up. It may be easier to quit than to just endure the course of hardship, struggle and disappointment.

We need wisdom to know how to respond to the disappointments in life. This means we should see the trials in life as a link in helping us to understand our purpose in life, which helps us build character.

While the trials of life are never pleasant, they can produce certain benefits in our lives. We would do well to embrace the power of our faith; we must trust the direction that life leads us and use the power of positive thinking.  When we believe in ourselves, we profit from the struggle. Eventually we will find joy from the struggle by attaining victory.

If you just believe, this simple perspective in life, this principle can help to eliminate the negative reaction to difficulties in achieving goals and improve your life in the process.

“Spiritual Leadership A Point Of View”

LEADERSHIP-FBThere are several definitions for the spiritual leader. The term brings to mind different things to different people. The spiritual leader’s task is to move people from where they are to where God wants them to be.

A servant leader should start with a natural feeling wanting to serve others first. Servant leadership embraces a philosophy and set of principles to enrich the lives of individuals, and to building better relationships. Being a spiritual leader can boost life’s engagement, increase trust and build better team relationships in many organizations.

The meaning and practice of Leadership are discussed in many different ways. In most cases, we never in the same breath equate spiritual leadership with leadership. We strive to build leadership skills without ever thinking about having anything to do with religious matters. While it’s true, we view spiritual leaders as someone who is leading a church or family in religious matters. But I believe it is possible to be a spiritual leader in today business environment.

When our belief about the world influence our work, we can lead a more wholesome life, and we integrate these ideas to lead in unique ways to make a difference in an organization. People with spirituality often have a larger perspective on life. They realize that life is much more important than their work or themselves, though it comes as a high priority in ones’ life.  Their view typically includes how they respond to God in their everyday lives. Because of this larger view, they allow for more grace and margin for errors in many life experiences.

They understand there is more to life than work, themselves and earthly success. Understanding and accepting a grace perception keeps them healthy, and their conscience free to work and live in conditions necessary for making a difference.  While it’s true that anyone can be successful in life, a spiritual leader allows their belief to guide all aspect of their life.  Their beliefs help them establish the balance necessary for finding a deeper meaning to how they lead and not be defined by how much they earn or achieve, but rather by how spiritual beliefs guide them.

Our beliefs add meaning to life. So isn’t it time for our leaders to remove selfish personal reasons to conducting their leadership to embracing a more spiritual centric approach into their leadership style to have a deeper meaning to leading our organizations.

Selfies

LOOKATME-600x600Selfies; they are everywhere.  Why do so many of us take selfies? How did this become a national phenomenon?  Selfies are hoping up everywhere throughout the world of social media. Selfies can be found of pimple faced middle schooler, or some of the most famous celebrities and of politician.

it’s fun to take some shots of yourself, especially if there’s no-one else to take a snap for you.  Love them or hate them, selfies are harmless fun — right? Maybe not. According to new research, selfies can say a lot about your personality, and not always in the right way.

With the growing use of social networks, everyone is more concerned with their appearance.  When we post a selfie for the world to see, we eagerly wait for the likes and comments to show up from friends and strangers. Sometimes immediately after posting, we stick around for a few minutes and rapidly refresh the page to see how quickly they start rolling in. Why? Because these likes and comments make us feel loved. After all, it was a picture of me, and of my face sometimes no one else.

We all want to be loved. We all want to be accepted, and we all want to matter. In a culture that is very focused on “self,” I’m not surprised that “selfies” have become so popular.  While it’s fun to take some shots of yourself, especially if there’s no-one else to take a snap for you, you can go too far with the selfies.  Above all, don’t become obsessed with documenting every step of your life – just enjoy your life instead. So if you need affirmation look no further, bring Christ into your life daily.
