In the morning, the heavens opened and it began to rain. Bella grabbed her umbrella to get to school, as she walked out of the hostel the first

Happiness, Joy and Peace

Happiness  
You should know that when one door of happiness closes, another opens, but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one that has been opened for us.
Everyone seeks happiness, but somehow it eludes many people. No one can find it directly. It comes only when we busy ourselves in following Christ. Happiness is like the butterfly that is chased but not caught. It is when we stop chasing it that it comes quietly
and lands on our shoulder.

Joy 
Joy is life. Joy is the flag you fly when the Prince of Peace is in residence within your heart.
Where does joy come from? It comes from a true worship of our Creator and spending time in His presence. Some have suggested that Joy forms an acrostic that stands for putting Jesus first, Others second and Yourself should be last. Have you made the transition? If not, put Jesus first in all your thoughts today. And start looking for ways to do good to others. Try to focus on others instead of spending time thinking about your own problems and difficulties. Make others problems your priority. Be a problem solver not a problem creator. By doing this you are Joy to others and to yourself.

Peace 
You know what peace means? Peace is the deliberate adjustment of my life to the will of God. 
Artists were asked to paint their thoughts about peace in a contest one day. Now see what happened—the winner was not the artist who painted a pasture with animals and beautiful sky.  It would surprise you to know  that it was the artist who painted a raging waterfall. And in the midst of the waterfall was an outcropping of rock with a bird on it. It depicted calm peace in the midst of troubled water. It comes not when everything is quiet and restful but in the midst of the storms of life. Remember this is the peace that Christ has for you. Also spread it across to other people. To have an abundance of it.

Things you should expect when you connect with your spot

Get out of the rat race. After all, if you win, you will simply be the big rat. Stop running in the competition. The only person you should compete with is yourself. "how well am I performing in my leadership spot," is what you should ask yourself. You have to know that the battery does not compete with a spark plug, because the battery knows the spark plug can never be a battery, and so on. They sit in the engine in their spots and serve the engine their gift without competing

Why does negative behaviour continue?

It works. There is some kind of payoff, some type of momentary satisfaction that is derived from not changing. The reward might be financial or psychological. Some people will continue unproductive behaviour to seek approval, acceptance, praise, or love. Others continue their unacceptable actions out of pride, greed or a sense of personal fulfilment. They may oppress others with their need to always be right because they treasure being right- even if it destroys a relationship.

Adding value to other people is the work of a positive influencer

As you move up to the higher levels of influence and become an active influencer, you can begin to have a positive influence on people and add value on their lives. That's true for any positive influencer. The baby-sitter who reads to the child encourages him to love books and helps him become a lifelong learner. The teacher who puts his faith, confidence, and love on a child helps the child to feel valued and good about herself. That boss who delegates to the employees and gives them authority as well as responsibility enlarges their horizons and empowers them to become better workers and people. Even the parents who know how to give their children grace and when to, also help them to stay open and communicative. All of these people add lasting value to the lives of other people. One thing is this, we don't know what kind of influence you have on others, today as you read this article. Your actions may touch the lives of thousands of people. Perhaps you use the opportunity
