LIGHTBOX VERSION :

 THANKS FOR SPECIAL DAY!

Why?

Kenapa hanya dengan melihat pesanmu saja aku dapat tersenyum? 

Kenapa tutur katamu sukar membuatku tersulut amarah? 

Kenapa senyummu selalu saja membuatku terhanyut bersamanya?

Kenapa hatiku memilihmu? 

Why does my heart choose you...? 
Why it must be you to be who show me how it feels to be so in love...?
Why do you keep letting me fall for you, deeper and deeper, even there's nobody would catch me if I might fall too deep?  

Why does I love you? 
I can't stop thinking if you're okay and however, my mind is full of about-you-things! 
Why? 

But, it's okay. 
I'm not going to regret it and there's nothing to be worry about! 

I'm turning into ELF!

Perasaan baru kemaren aja gue mikir kalo gue nggak bakalan kena wabah ELF. Yah, bukan kemaren sih. Tapi kemaren-kemaren-kemarennya dan kemarennya dan kemarennya dan kemarennya dan sebetulnya masih ada banyak 'kemaren' lainnya yang harus gue sebutin. Tapi ternyata gue salah. Akhirnya gue kena sama yang namanya wabah ELF dan berikut gue kenalin cowok baru gue: 

 Besides turning into ELF, I'm becoming Jungsooholic or can I say Beautiful Leather? :)

♥OnceUponALove

-->

Di dalam sorot kedua bola matamulah aku ingin menempatkan diri.

Di dalam setiap kalimat harap dan kata cintamulah aku ingin namaku disebut.

Di dalam tiap sudut relung hatimulah aku ingin terus tinggal,

menjadi satu-satunya orang yang kauinginkan dalam hidup,

kauingat dan kaubayangkan wajahnya dalam tiap derap nafas dan denyut nadimu,

senantiasa kaupikirkan dalam tiap langkahmu,

kaukasihi dan kaucintai sepenuh hati tanpa sebilah pun keraguan…

Karena hanya dirimulah satu-satunya orang yang kuinginkan dalam hidup,

yang kuingat dan kubayangkan wajahnya dalam tiap derap nafas dan denyut nadiku,

orang yang senantiasa kupikirkan dalam tiap langkahku,

juga orang yang kukasihi dan kucintai sepenuh hati tanpa sebilah pun keraguan.

Make Plan "A" Your Only Plan!

Make PLAN A your only plan...especially if you say God gave you the vision.  Most people don’t need a Plan B; they need to fully dedicate themselves to Plan A! How can it be that God’s plan for your life has an alternative? He hasn’t changed His mind. Once you tap into His plan for you, neither should you. Diligence is what most of our plans require, not alternatives.

Be diligent. To quote my Pastor, Thaddeus Eastland, diligence is best defined as "thinking it through, then getting after it and then staying after it." Work as hard as you can. Respond to customers and opportunities quickly. The best ones don't wait for you. Diligence isn't just about working hard, however. It's about rising early and looking for every possible opportunity to achieve a goal – uncovering every rock. The Bible says that "the hand of the diligent makes rich" in Proverbs 10:4. This is just one of the many encouragements in the Bible towards diligence in all that we do.

They say money never sleeps. It does. But it gets up early. This is closely related to the concept of diligence. A word study on diligence uncovers that it carries with it the idea of getting out of bed and getting started early. Personally, I know that my most productive days and "seasons" have been when I've been most intentional about rising and getting to work before everyone else. When I get up late, I often feel like the whole day is close to being wasted. Get up early and get after it. You will be rewarded!

Make joining me on Facebook and subscribing to this blog a part of your plan!  Let's progress together!

You Have Permission to Be Great(er)!

The Word for somebody today is "Go get it!"

As I was praying a few weeks ago concerning a few specific things that I feel like I'm lacking (both wants and needs are acceptable to pray for according to Phil 4:6), I was commanded to stop asking and go get them!! Then, as I often do, I asked whether I should share this or was that just for me.

Here's the reality for somebody... I'm giving you permission to go for your desires!! Do you want to start a non-profit? Go for it! Do you want to become a counselor? Start a business? Manufacture a product? Broadcast a television show?  Nobody's stopping you but you. You've got permission!  What is it that you've been waiting on permission to go do?  Stop waiting and go get it!

Get your permission slip here --->  LINKY POO and then send me a pic or post it to my Facebook page!!  Thank you!!!

"20 Seconds of Insane Courage"

"Sometimes all you need is twenty seconds of insane courage...just twenty seconds of embarrassing bravery... and I promise you something great will come of it." ~We Bought a Zoo 

Awesome words.  Just awesome.  And so true.  Courage is a key and here's what I love about it. For most of your most challenging tasks you need courage, but you don't need as much as you think. You think so much about the BIGNESS of the task in front of you and YOU THINK you're not up to it...but...

Here's what you've not remembered: You only need courage for a few seconds!  Just long enough to step out on faith. And, yes, you certainly have FIVE SECONDS of courage! For most things between you and your BEST LIFE, twenty seconds of courage is quite enough! That key can open large doors for you this week.  It can change your life forever.

Never back down from the challenge standing between you and your future! NEVER!  The harsh reality is that your deepest dreams will not come true unless you take some chances.  If that doesn't work, just remind yourself of your big WHY. I have a number of reasons to be more courageous... 

How about you?  Find your reason to be courageous for twenty seconds today and go make a difference!

Oh...and if you aren't subscribing yet, please do and join me on Facebook for daily updates!

But the righteous are bold as a lion." ~Proverbs 28:1

Random Thoughts from My Head

Just sitting here reflecting on some things as I work. I should be done with work for the day soon... but I doubt it. I'm pushing myself now because I'm REALLY looking forward to being able to enjoy the Summer. Diligence now. Play later.  Some random thoughts rattling around in my head...

1. Read to Lead. What we become depends upon what we read. My life is better when I'm reading something. It energizes me. Every time I start reading something, I notice enough of a change to make me wonder why I don't read more.

2. Stop Quitting.  If you want to make real, lasting progress, you have to stop quitting. This is a message I'm working on. "Killing the Spirit of Quit in Your Life"

3. Worry About YOU!  My new favorite passage might be John 21:22 but maybe not for the reasons most people would think on first reading. I think I can build an entire presentation on it. I think it holds the a real key to progressing in life and relationships.

4. One is Lonely Number.  Most people (especially Christians) will admit to being an alcoholic faster than they will admit to being lonely... yet one is completely natural and the other is a dangerous addiction. We treat people struggling with addictions with sympathy and those who struggle with loneliness like emotional weaklings. Here's a self-test ---> IF YOU DARE!

5. So Much Stupid.  There is a staggering amount of stupid stuff posted to Facebook these days. Here's an example. So... it's okay to kiss horses?

Here's another example. Apparently someone feels like it's a good idea for Americans to think even less than we do now...

Our main problem as humans is (and has always been!) that we do too much feeling and too little thinking about where those feelings will take us if not managed better.

6. New Levels Needed.  I've reached a point where people expect a certain standard from me. I have to make sure less and less of my stuff falls into the stupid category.  Not always easy.  Not at all.

The Live BIG! Monday Motivational Moment - COMING SOON!

I've been really committed to giving more of myself lately! As my pastor so eloquently reminded us weeks ago (and it impacted me deeply), the miracle is in the pouring out, not in the pouring in! (Get with me on my upcoming teleconference and I'll explain more!) Anyway, that's why I'm doing this conference call. To help someone. That's also why I stayed up overnight a couple of weeks ago putting together "The 9 Paths to Prosperity" Free eCourse. (Check it out my signing up on my blog. It will come to your e-mail box over the course of several weeks with a lesson per week. No catches.)

One thing we've got to do is help you get rid of the "Spirit of Quit" - that thing that makes so many people throw in the towel these days and constantly get to a place of needing to start over and start over and start over. Sometimes you need a pat on the back. Sometimes you need a kick in the pants. I aim on providing both - as needed!!

Here's something you can do for me today! I need your help spreading the word! Please remember to leave me your comments so I know how to serve you better!! This also lets other people know you're engaged in what we're doing here. If this was helpful, forward it to a friend. Talk to you soon! Please subscribe and visit me on my Live BIG! Die Empty.

Being Magnanimous

I've always felt like one of the best qualities a person could have is being what they used to call "magnanimous."  They don't really use that word any more.  I've always wanted to be that kind of person so I admire it in others.  One of my favorite definitions is "to be very generous or forgiving, especially towards a rival or someone less powerful than oneself."

It's being forgiving and more than that.  It's being generous and it's also more than that even.  It's being a big person...as opposed to being a small person.  You can hear the words "magnificent" or "magnitude" in it.  I love it!  It also has the Latin root word "animus" in there, meaning "spirit" which you can hear in the word "animated" for example.

Enough of the nerd hour.

Here's the thing.  Magnanimity is rare these days so when you see it, it stands out.  This is the person who extends grace where it isn't deserved.  This is the person who goes with you two miles when they could have been off the hook with one.  They don't take retribution when they have a right to it in the world's eyes.  They are great, big and seem to operate above common standards.  This is being magnanimous.

Why should you care?  You should care because you have never seen a small person rise to great heights.  It's almost as if the entire universe conspires against petty people to entrap them in cages of their own making.    On the other hand, I want you to be big, a GIANT!  I want you to grow into everything you were meant to be.  The only way it's going to happen is if you decide to live above your circumstances, expectations and common ways of doing things.

Common doesn't get you anywhere and it certainly doesn't earn you any respect.  Only magnanimity does that.

The Two Most Powerful Words in Your Vocabulary.

"I am."

Right now is your chance to make a statement about who you are and where you're going.  Right now!  And the way you do that is by making a declaration.  You have the power to define yourself.  "As a man thinks in his heart, so is he" as a wise man once wrote.  You'll notice that it is what YOU say about yourself that defines you.  The Lord may have designed you for a purpose, but it's still within your power to accept it and walk in it.

Now is the time to STOP accepting determinations about yourself that don't serve you.  Instead of saying "I am overweight." say "I am getting in better shape everyday."  If you want to improve as a father, begin declaring "I am a caring father" and watch how it transforms you.  (By the way, this applies to your internal dialogue, too.  Just because you aren't saying these things out loud, doesn't take you off the hook!)

Practice making a new "I am" statement right this moment.  What are you?  Who are you?  Say it and you'll be it!

"9 Practical Paths to Prosperity"

Money is not the most important thing in life. Now, having said that so we're all on the same page and -depending upon who you are and your disposition - I acknowledge that it may not even rank in your top ten priorities.

 As you read this article, your ranking of your priorities is between you and your God. Just call me "Bennett" 'cause I ain't in it. However, this column is about money and business within the Kingdom context and I will not shy away from the task. Many of the other things that you might classify as important - even more important than money - are much harder to attain without having at least some money available to you when you need it. To grow and expand in life, we have to have a surplus - more than enough for our immediate needs for food, clothing and shelter. It takes money to provide for your family, to afford a better than perfunctory education, to have the money to give to charitable organizations and your place of worship. The electric company STILL doesn't accept baked goods. I've tried!

My goal, then, is to help you and benefit the kingdom of God by bringing you into a place of abundance. There isn't anything wrong with wanting more or having more. I would suggest to you that any person who doesn't is broken. Not broke, but broken. God designed us to grow and excel. Mediocrity and stagnation are not parts of His orginal design for His creation and we can experience growth in our finances if we heed the structures He's already put in place. As long as the Earth remains, seedtime and harvest will remain.

I've created a collection of advice that I was looking for when I was younger, thin on experience and had not a clue as to how to manage my financial affairs as a Christian, entrepreneur, husband and father. If you are like me, and you're serious about taking your finances from nothing to something to many things, I believe here are nine practical paths to prosperity to which you should adhere.

The "9 Paths to Prosperity" FREE E-mail course is here!! Just enter your name and e-mail address HERE and each of the nine lessons will be delivered to you free of charge. I promise they will bless you!!

Also, as you know, we are told that we have to change the way we think to change our lives. Well, if true, what should we think about and how do we change our thoughts? I've also created a special study called "Change Your Mind" to help you think in ways that are more productive and purposeful using various scriptures from God's word as your guide.  I am committed to helping you get to your best place!
