Love, Friendship and Hope

Love 
Let's start it this way. Are you experiencing a broken or damaged relationship? Have you been deeply hurt by someone? How should you respond to these types of circumstances? Always act like our Saviour acts. Love them. Our Saviour commanded that we were to love our neighbours as we love ourselves. He then gave us a more difficult command—to love our enemies. This was not a request based on feelings; it's an act of obedience that is stronger than mere
emotion. Love people even if they have caused you pain.

Now, faith, like light, should always be simple and unbending, while love, like warmth, should beam forth on every side and bend to every necessity of our brethren.

Hope
There is no medicine like hope, no incentive so great, and no tonic so powerful as expectation of something better tomorrow.
I pray that you have been encouraged during this period of our pursuit to achieving greatness with our inspirational words but hope that your circumstances are changing or that your attitude in facing them can be more positive and optimistic. One of the greatest gifts we can pass on to others is hope. It is our responsibility and privilege to share this, like what our Creator has helped us grow spiritually. Always remember to ask our Creator to lead someone into your life today that you can help support emotionally and strengthen his or her hope for the future.

Friendship
Friendship is like a bank account. You can't continue to draw on it without making deposits.
Most times we hear many people complain of not having any friends, and then they just sit around waiting for someone to materialize. Here is an age old principle—to have friends, we must show ourselves friendly. Have you been sitting around waiting for friends to come? Now is the time to get up and get moving. Just like William Shakespeare said, "Go of to the house of your friend for weeds soon choke an unused path. Get out of your shed. Start clearing the path before it becomes too difficult to travel. Start now!

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
