CAN I DEFEAT GIANT?



 Have you ever imagined fighting to someone more than nine feet tall? Have a shining armor made hundred small bronze, spear with several inches thick and a 15-pound spearhead wrapped with cords that can be thrown farther through air. I had been trying to figure out if that really possible to do that by myself? Is that a joke? I am just 5'4 feet petite man! Eerie! I want to live more duh!

Maybe, if you were in the actual situation that you need to face the giant, described above, you'll call your dad, kin, and peers to help you fighting this giant that seems to be unconquerable and invincible. If we make it more exaggerated you will call your favorite super heroes like: Captain America, Iron man, Hulk, Black Widow, Hook Eye and Thor (The Avengers).

Do you know guys, I have a friend who offered to fight this giant? He is a shepherd, youngest to his family, and lacks any form of military. This friend of mine, David, who only thing he have are shepherd's staff and sling without any armor on his body but his clothes being a shepherd.

This giant name, "Goliath", in the bible looks and acts like a giant but conversely to Omnipotent God, my friend, David, knows his monstrous man is like a dwarf, a cricket or an ant who is powerless to the eye of God and to his view of his situation. He is that so confident that he knows it is not what he has but who is with beside him. 1 Samuel 17:45, David says to Goliath: " You come to me with sword, spear, and javelin, but I come to you in the name of the Lord of Heaven's Armies- the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied.

In our life right now, we must possess the same confidence to God and for his being Omniscient. We must know how to face those gigantic trials that will come in the future because we have alrelady known there will be one God who always ready to help us solving our difficult problem that we may encounter. It is easy to say this words but hard to do it, however, we must know: "A word without act is nothing". We should know how these words apply in ourselves. We have to live according to what God is want for us. He is a friend who will never let us down and a guardian who will not drop our hands by him. We are the one who let ourselves away from God. But it does not stop to that, God is willing to lay his two hands for you. He will lead you going to his kingdom and giving you the greatest gift of all " ETERNAL LIFE".


GOD LOVES YOU. HE IS DONE PROVING IT. ITS YOUR TURN.

Thank you for reading this blog. <3 Hope we share the good news we learned and try applying this to our everyday lives.


I am glad to have your comments, suggestion, or rather violent reaction from you. Your feedback will be highly recognized.

VIRTUE OF PHILANTHROPIC, GENEROUS, AND POSITIVE





You must always maintain an open invitation to everyone you encounter.  Personally welcome others, and listen to their needs.  Once you are involved with them, keep it personal and always maintain a healthy line of communication.

The best part of inspiring others is to have interest in not only what you do, but to also recognize your followers and have an opportunity to see them grow and change as well.  Offer to share your personal stories, teach them things you've learned along the way, talk about your failures and achievements, and ask them questions about their own progress.  Help them avoid the mistakes you've made in the past, and always maintain a positive outlook on their forward progress.



The process of inspiring others comes with no shortage challenges and negative naysayers.  To get past this, you must stay positive, work past failures, and present optimism openly to others no matter what the circumstances are.  Doubt is a very contagious disease, and if you show any of it, you can easily destroy any positive influence you might have instilled in a person.

And there you have it: My thoughts on how to inspire others.  I’d love to hear your feedback, thoughts and comments on the subject.  Which of these points have the biggest impact to you?  Have I left something out?  Do you have any personal experiences or inspirational stories to share?

EXPERIENCE TO SHARE







You need to remain actively involved in the field in which you intend to inspire others.  It’s the age old saying of “practice what you preach,” and it holds true for anyone trying to inspire others.  Ultimately, if you really want to inspire others to do something then this ‘something’ should be a big part of your life.  You don’t necessarily need to be an expert at it, but you do need to be passionately involved.

Passion is something you must have and be willing to express it if you really want to inspire others.  You can gain a lot of influence just by publicly expressing that you are excited and passionate about a topic.  You make it much harder to inspire others if you are boring an unenthusiastic.  Expressive passion is contagious because of the curiosity it stirs in others.  You’ll get people wondering why you love what you love so much.  Naturally, some of them will take the time necessary to understand what it is about the topic that moves you.

BEGIN TO THINK BIG





     Once you establish a foundation for which you have great passion, start thinking big.  How many people could you potentially inspire based on your niche of expertise?  Are there ways you can expand your impact?  Don’t look to inspire one person, look to inspire hundreds!  Remember, this goes back to the low success rate percentages, as you will likely not succeed with working to inspire at a very small level.  You need to think big and have many people available to inspire.  Fifty people out of a thousand is only five percent, but it’s still fifty people.  Share your ideas with as many people as possible and allow them grow your influence beyond your initial ideas for inspiration.

     Thinking big is not only about inspiring more people, but also about the impact you have on each person.  Don’t settle on making minor changes in a person’s life if they need a total makeover.  Instead, aim to change everything.  Look to inspire in many areas instead of just one.  Think big about the positive impact you might have and this will give you a much better chance of leaving some kind of impression.  If you promote a hundred ways for someone to change or heal and they take on just one, you have still helped them!

     Another useful way to inspire others is to support an established noble cause or practice, such as saving the environment or feeding the poor.  It’s much easier to gain attention, followers, and support for noble causes than it is for individual gain or what some might think are more selfish reasons.  An offer to change something that has a positive impact on the global society is far more attractive to onlookers than some short lived, localized venture.  So keep those areas of influence as big as possible!

HOW YOU ESTABLISH INSPIRATION?






Inspiring others is not easy. The rate of success of that attempt to inspire is incredibly low when the measure of success will be based on the percentage inspiration as opposed to actual as inspiration. Overwhelming motivation seminars with thousands of attendees typically make a real lasting effect on only a few people's lives. If you look at those same odds for yourself, you can easily discouraged when you hope to inspire others by doing something that you really love to do.

If, nevertheless, you love something expensive, you do not care how successful you are inspiring others and continue to persevere (on many levels) no matter how many times you fail. If you suspect the person, and when people laugh at your failures, will continue to do what you want because you love. So having depth, love and passion for something, you will protect you from all potential failures.

Will you make the most of the failures and continue to drive your passions? You will inspire others even if you do not succeed at first? What do you love?



THE MIRACULOUS MEDAL


Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal
"O Mary! conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee!" start at Mary's right hand, continue over her head, and end at the left hand.


Wear this medal every time and pray the words written on this medal. 




The vision of Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal is said to have appeared to Saint Catherine Labouré in 1830 in the convent of Rue du Bac, Paris. She reported that one night in the chapel, the Blessed Virgin Mary appeared to her and asked that a medallion be made to a design that she dictated. The lady added that, "All who wear this medal will receive great graces.  After spending two years examining her claims, her priest eventually took the information to his archbishop. The medal eventually produced came to be referred to as the Miraculous Medal. The front of the medal displays a picture of the virgin as she appeared to Catherine Labouré. The design on the reverse includes the letter M and a cross. Pope John Paul II used a slight variation of the reverse image as his coat of arms, the Marian Cross. This is a plain cross with an M underneath the right-hand bar, to signify the Blessed Virgin standing at the foot of the Cross while Jesus was being crucified.

Sister Justine Bisqueyburu is said to have also had an apparition in 1840 within the same chapel at Rue du Bac as Saint Catherine Labouré. These visitations instituted the Green Scapular, which involves a very simple devotion to the Immaculate Heart of Mary and is associated with healing.The Green Scapular has its own association but has not yet been approved by the Holy See and does not have an associated confraternity.
