The man had four sons and sent each to look at a pear tree in a different season to teach them not to judge things too quickly based on a single experience. The first son saw the tree in winter and said it was ugly, while the second in spring said it was promising. The third in summer said it was beautiful, and the fourth in fall said it was full of life. The man explained that they were all right because each only saw one season, and a person or thing cannot be fully judged until all seasons have passed.
Seasons of Life
If you give up when it's Winter,
you 'll miss the promise of the Spring,
the beauty of your Summer and the fullfillment of your Fall.
Don't let the pain of one season destroy the joy of all the rest. Don't judge life by one difficult season.

Achieving the Mind, Body, Spirit and Emotions ConnectionGabriela Taylor
When we talk about the human body, most of us refer to the physical form that we see in front of us. However, in reality, every person is made up of four bodies, all of which interrelate to one another and coexist in harmony.
Here are three out of six efficient tips on how to increase motivation. To learn three other tips, click the link: http://vkool.com/how-to-increase-motivation/.
1. Being Decisive
Being decisive is one of the most important techniques on how to increase motivation. Being decisive means your determination is big, and you are willing to take action no matter how hard it is.
Performing what you need to do decisively without hesitation can help you overcome fear of failure, as well as, avoid the paralysis of analysis capability. The decisiveness can also help in creating momentum and fanning the flames inside you.
2. Learn Quotes
Learning quotes is another helpful tip on how to increase motivation. The famous quotes are very useful companions in life as they are meaningful, significant, and right. If you want to find an encouragement, read related quotes, and you will be willing to do any challenge. “Who go to the end is the winner” is one of the most typical quotes that help increase motivation at work and in life. If you always keep it in mind, you will be mentally strong enough to cope with any difficulty, and go forward.
“Do it now. Sometimes later becomes never.” is another saying that encourages you to fulfill your work. If you are lazy or not enthusiastic enough about completing your plan, read the quote again and again to remind yourself that ‘later’ may become ‘never’. Don’t leave today’s work until tomorrow.
“Don’t stop when you are tired. Stop when you are done.” is another quote that helps increase motivation. If you have tried hard, feel tired now, but the success has not come, don’t stop. You may have gone three-quarters of the way to success. There is just a quarter of it left. Stopping now means wasting all the time and efforts you have made. Therefore, you should only stop when you are done rather than when you are tired.
3. Look Forward To The Future
Looking forward to the future is also an efficient tip on how to increase motivation. If you care too much about what happened in the past, you will not be able to improve yourselves, including your work in particular, and your life in general. Looking forward to the future and thinking about things you want to have later on will help you be more energetic and enthusiastic about turning your dreams come true.
Moreover, you should also look at everything with positive attitudes so that you will be more willing to go ahead than building hesitation. Do not put yourself under high pressure of success as it may discourage you from trying hard.
Thinking about the future positively is a good way to increase motivation. Imagine what you may have in the future if you try your best now. You may get promoted to a higher position in your company. You may have higher income, and be able to buy things you want. You may have big bonuses that everyone dreams of. Think well and act well.

Self-sabotage is any kind of behavior or thought that keeps us away from what we desire most in life. Reluctance on our part to take up new challenges is a characteristic trait of self-sabotaging behavior. It is the conflict that exists between our conscious desires and unconscious wants—or as Sigmund Freud would describe it, our identity versus our ego—that manifests itself in self-sabotage patterns.
This self-sabotaging behavior originates from our fear of failure. The overwhelming sentiment growing inside of us, gnawing at us, and saying, “You cannot do this,” is what deters us from our goal of achieving the greatness we are born to do.
What can we do to stop sabotaging ourselves?

The Book of Joshua is the sixth book in the Hebrew Bible and the Old Testament, and is the first book of the Deuteronomistic history, the story of Israel from the conquest of Canaan to the Babylonian exile.
In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.

1. There was a man who had
four sons.
He wanted his sons to learn
not to Judge things too
quickly.
So he sent them each on a
quest, in turn,to go and look
at a pear tree that was a
great distance away
2. The first son went in the winter,
the second in the spring,
the third in summer,
and the youngest son in the fall.
3. When they had all gone and
returned, he called them
together to describe what
they had seen
4. The first son said that the tree was ugly, bent, and twisted.
The second son said it was covered with green buds and full of promise.
5. The third son disagreed; he said it was laden with blossoms that smelled so
sweet and looked so beautiful, it was the most graceful thing he had ever
seen.
The last son disagreed with all of them; he said it was ripe and
drooping with fruit, full of life and fulfillment.
6. The man then explained to his sons that they were all right, because they
had each seen only one season in the tree's life.
7. He told them that you cannot judge a tree, or a person, by only one season.
That the essence of who they are, and the pleasure, joy, and love that
come from that life, can only be measured at the end, when all the seasons
are up.
8. If you give up when it's winter,
you will miss the promise of your
spring, the beauty of your summer,
And the fulfillment of your fall.
9. Don't let the pain of one season destroy the joy of all the rest.
Don't judge life by one difficult season.
