Let’s inspire our inner spirit in order for
us to be happy and have peaceful lives
that we aspire. We hold on to our past
instead of concentrating on the future
endeavours life has prepared for us.
Grudges can also disturb the
communication between you and the
inner spirit. Remember you were made
from the image of God therefore inspire
your mind to get the essence of love and
respect. While you are positive your spirit
will also be positive. Walk tall and dust
yourself off and don’t let challenges block
your way. Mostly we want to be happy
with people we love, sometimes forgetting
those we love can turn against us. But
through the love of God we gained trust
and faith to manage our inner spirit to grow
and nourish our garden of hope that will
produce good fruits of eternal life. Revive
your life, involve God in everything you do
and believe that what you ask for you shall
receive.

There are times in the life of a speaker where
he or she is going to run into trouble.
Forgotten lines. The projector goes on the
blink. Wrong brief. Wrong audience.
PowerPoint doesn’t work. This is when a
true professional can pull a story out of his
or her back pocket. Most speakers have
stories from their lives and should have them
ready in case things go wrong. When the
chips are down, things go wrong and times
are dark, I would imagine that most of us
have a ‘back pocket’ story too. A story that
we tell ourselves to get us through the
situation at hand. But the challenge is that
the stories we tell ourselves can either build
us up or break us down. We have the choice
of picking positive, uplifting stories or
negative, destructive stories. The stories we
choose to tell ourselves will make all the
difference of how we see the world and
interact in it. It’s no exaggeration to say that
we all carry around more than our fair share
of negative stories. I’d bet we have a lot more
negative stories than positive ones. How this
or that was done to me. How I suffered. If
only I’d ... How my heart was broken. How I
was treated. We can use these stories to feel
depressed, sorry for ourselves, to be the
victim and the like. We can also reframe these
‘negative’ stories. And choose to use them
positively so that we change from coal into
diamonds. These stories are the forges where
our characters shape and where our destiny
maps out. We can use the adversity that has
befallen us to hone us into a sharp blade of
purpose. And, of course, we should also
focus on the positive stories in our lives too.
They also shape us into who we are.
Whether our stories have been positive or
negative, we should still feel gratitude. You
see, everything up until this moment (good
and bad) has shaped you and me into who
we are. Our characters have been built and
our foundations have been laid. We are
probably where we’re supposed to be right
at this moment. The awesome thing is that if
we don’t like where we’re at now, we can
choose to change. We can create more stories
and they can be positive, fulfilling and
powerful. One thing that we have above
every other living creatures (even the angels)
is choice. So go make some good choices.
Write new stories. Live this life as you’re
supposed to ... with joy, awe and gratitude.
And, even if your new stories don’t pan out
as you hope ... good or bad, they still shape
you into the human being you are and will
become. The trick of this life is to become
grace and not regret.
