I
have a statement of encouragement for you today . I just want you to know how much I
enjoy bringing statement of encouragement to you to strengthen you during this difficult times. I
don't enjoy the crisis, but I do enjoy the opportunity to encourage you or “us”
in the crisis because I too get encouraged in the process. To lift your spirit up
in this time of crisis. To let you see maybe the light at the end of the
tunnel. So these statements are given, not only for me to share them with you,
but for us to follow them. To learn how to apply them to our daily lives. So
here's one quote by Martin Luther King. “We must accept finite disappointment, but we
never lose infinite hope.” What he was saying is that disappointment is
finite. This too shall pass. We have a period where we're going through a dark
time. But he said, always understand that you need to compare finite
disappointment, something that has a beginning and an end, to infinite hope. Something
that is always is, doesn't have a beginning, and doesn’t have an end. What does
he say? Hope outlasts disappointment. I want you to remember that. Because
sometimes in the midst of difficulties, such as losing your job or set back in
your business that results in low or no income, we get so consumed by how
difficult and how hard this is that we lose the hope. Martin Luther King
understood that disappointment is finite. Hope is infinite. You need to start
playing that infinite game.
Malcolm
Forbes quotes “When things are bad, we take comfort in the thought that they could
always get worse. And when they are, we find hope in the thought that things
are so bad they have to get better” We've
been there, I've been there, and you’ve been there. Basically,
wherever you are in the crisis, your perspective can be either an asset or a liability. I just want you to know if you’re in a position right now in your
own personal life where you think, wow, things could get worse. I just want you
to know that they may. But if you're kind of like at the bottom of the pile and
you're just saying, it can't get any worse than this, then let me tell you
something: the only way up is up. You can't go down anymore.
We,
still celebrate with you if you were born in May. Wishing you good health
always and as someone told me MAY stands for Miracles Await You and all this
month. Thank you for reading. Stay safe till we`ll be able to get together again
everybody.
