There is hardly anybody reading this that will not know who an architect is. If you have built a house before or seen/know anyone who has built one, you will not find it hard to understand the work of an architect. As we all know, an architect is a person that designs the plan of a house before it is built. He sits down to take brief of his/her client and help transfer the client’s brief into a workable plan.

To attract attractive people, you must be attractive. To attract powerful people, you must be powerful. To attract committed people, you must be committed. Instead of going to work on them, you go to work on yourself. If you become, you can attract.

We can have more than we’ve got because we can become more than we are.

The big challenge is to become all that you have the possibility of becoming. You cannot believe what it does to the human spirit to maximize your human potential and stretch yourself to the limit.

No matter how busy you are, try to find some time over the next two weeks to reflect, think, give and plan.

The week between Christmas and New Year’s is the ideal time for this. Try to slow things down. Spend time with the ones you love and care about. Take some time to talk with your spouse and kids about goals and dreams for the year 2008. Use this as a time to recharge your batteries, not just by watching TV the entire time, but to seriously and with excitement think about a handful of changes or additions you want for your life in 2008.

Christmas is here and the best way I know how to do it, is to share soul-lifting stories that will make this season one to remember for a while for someone.

Though there has been so many commercialisation added to Christmas, but the underlying reason can NEVER be forgotten or wished away. Christmas is all about Love, peace and sharing. This explains why I am doing this lest we forget what Christmas is all about.

I am sure you will enjoy today’s story.

A Slice Of Life By Carol McAdoo Rehme

There is this story about a man that went for a walk one day. This man was confronted by a soldier who asked him, “Who are you? Where are you going? Why are you going there?”

This man was so happy that he demanded to know how much the soldier earns. When he was told, the man gladly told the soldier he will pay him twice the amount he earns if only he can be asking him these three questions every day of the week.

One thing I am convinced about is that whatever our life turns out to be today, is as a result of the thought we had yesterday. If you are experiencing any unpleasant thing in your life today, it is because of the way you have been thinking. “Nothing just happen” is one of my favourite quotes. We create our lives just in accordance with our thoughts.

If you always think of failing in anything you do, just be sure that is what you will eventually get and vice versa. If small things are happening in your life today, it is just because your thought are small. Begin to think BIG and see if BIG things will not begin to happen in your life.

Something happened to me some years back that is worthy of sharing with everybody all over the world. When I started running my business, things were very tough for me to the point that I could hardly afford to have a dime on me. One of those days, I was at home and very hungry with no hope of seeing anything to munch. I tried to force myself to sleep, but I could only succeed for just thirty minutes! I was so hungry that I just couldn’t have time for my favorite past time, reading.
