A Word of Encouragement:
Someone said that it couldn't be done Be he said with a chuckle replied That maybe it couldn't be done, but he would be the one Who wouldn't say no till he'd tried.
So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin. On his face, If he worried he hid it He started to sing as he tackled the thing. That couldn't be done, and he did it.
Someone scoffed. "Oh, you'll never do that." At least no one ever has done it. But he took off his coat and he took off his hat With the lift of his chin and a bit of a grin
Without any doubting and quit it. He started to sing as he tackled the thing That couldn't be done and he did it. There are thousands to tell you it cannot be done,
There are thousands to prophecy failure; There are thousands to point out to you, one by one, The dangers that wait to assail you.
But just buckle in with a bit of a grin, Just take off your coat and go to it, Just start to sing as you tackle the thing That cannot be done, and you'll do it.

FORM GOOD HABITS AND BECOME THEIR SLAVE.
How To Overcome Adversity
Matthew 7. 24 Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock: (KJV)
- This is the difference between success and failure. In truth, the only difference between those who have failed and those who have succeeded lies in the difference of their habits. Good habits are the key to all success. Bad habits are the unlocked door to failure.
- Bad habits threaten to imprison your life.
- Therefore, if I must be a slave to habit let me be a slave to good habits.
- When good habits rule they become a pleasure to perform.

GREET THE DAY OF ADVERSITY WITH LOVE IN YOUR HEART
overcoming adversity
GREET THE DAY OF ADVERSITY WITH LOVE IN YOUR HEART.
- Love can open the hearts of men - can open the hearts of even your enemies.
- Look On All Things With Love.
I will love the sun for it warms my bones;
I will love the rain for it cleanses my spirit.
I will love the light for it shows me the way;
I will love the darkness for it shows me the stars.
I will welcome happiness for it enlarges my heart;
I will endure sadness for it opens my soul.
I will acknowledge rewards for they are my dues;
I will welcome obstacles for they are my challenge. - Love is my shield to protect me.
- I will love others. And just as love is my weapon to open the hearts of men, love is also my shield to repulse the arrows of hate and the spears of anger. Adversity and discouragement will beat against my new shield and become as the softest rains. My shield will protect me and sustain me when I am alone. It will uplift me in moments of despair yet it will calm me in times of exultation.
- I will love myself. And most of all I will love myself. For when I do I will zealously inspect all things which enter my body, my mind, my soul, and my heart. Never will I overindulge the requests of my flesh, rather I will cherish my body with cleanliness and moderation. Never will I allow my mind to be attracted to evil and despair, rather I will uplift it with the knowledge and wisdom of the ages. Never will I allow my soul to become complacent and satisfied, rather I will feed it with meditation and prayer. Never will I allow my heart to become small and bitter, rather I will share it and it will grow and warm the earth.
- With love I can succeed even if I am all alone. If I have no other qualities I can succeed with love alone. Without it I will fail though I possess all the knowledge and skills of the world.
- Love- A Must:
- One of the most challenging chapters in the Bible is 1 Corinthians 13.

PERSIST UNTIL YOU SUCCEED.
How To Overcome Adversity
PERSIST UNTIL YOU SUCCEED.
A. You were not born in defeat - You will not live in defeat.
B. The prizes of life came at the end of each journey. The prizes of life are at the end of each journey, not near the beginning; and it is not given to me to know how many steps are necessary in order to reach my goal. Failure I may still encounter at the thousandth step, yet success hides behind the next bend in the road. Never will I know how close it lies unless I turn the corner. Always will I take another step if that is of no avail I will take another, and yet another. In truth, one step at a time is not too difficult.
I will liken to the raindrop which washes away the mountain
I will liken to the raindrop which washes away the mountain;
the ant who devours a tiger;
the star which brightens the earth;
the slave who builds a pyramid.
I will build my castle one brick at a time for I know that small attempts repeated will complete any undertaking.
C. We must remove the word quit from our vocabulary.
Consider what makes the great salesman - ancient law of averages. I will remember the ancient law of averages and I will bend it to my good. I will persist with knowledge that each failure to sell will increase my chances for success at the next attempt. Each nay I hear will bring me closer to the sound of yea.
D. Yesterday's successes are not satisfactory for today. I will not allow yesterday's success to lull me into today's complacency, for this is the great foundation of failure. I will forget the happenings of the day that is gone, whether they were good or bad, and greet the new sun with confidence that this will be the best day of my life. So long as there is breath in me, that long will I persist. For now I know one of the greatest principles of success; if I persist long enough I will win.

MULTIPLY YOUR VALUE A HUNDREDFOLD.
How To Overcome Adversity
MULTIPLY YOUR VALUE A HUNDREDFOLD.
Pro 11:18 ... he who sows righteousness reaps a sure reward. (NIV Bible)
I am liken to a grain of wheat which faces one of three futures. The wheat can be placed in a sack and dumped in a stall until it is fed to swine. Or it can be ground to flour and made into bread. Or it can be placed in the earth and allowed to grow until its golden head divides and produces a thousand grains from the one.
Do the work that a failure will not do! I will do the work that a failure will not to. I will always let me reach exceed my grasp. I will never be content with my performance. I will always raise my goals as soon as they are attained. I will always strive to make the next hour better than this one. I will always announce my goals to the world. Yet, never will I proclaim my accomplishments. Let the world, instead, approach me with praise and may I have the wisdom to receive it in humility.
Consider the growth of one grain of wheat. One grain of wheat when multiplied a hundredfold will produce a hundred stalks. Multiply these a hundredfold, ten times, and they will feed all the cities of the earth. Am I not more than a grain of wheat?
ACT NOW. My dreams are worthless, my plans are dust, my goals are impossible. All are of no value unless they are followed by action.
MULTIPLYING YOUR PERSONAL VALUE - MULTIPLIES YOUR ACTIONS - MULTIPLIES YOUR SUCCESS.
Success will not wait. If I delay she will become betrothed to another and lost to me forever. I will act now.
