FIXING TOXIC RELATIONSHIPS.
Are there people in your life who regularly cause you to feel bad about yourself? Most of us care what others think of us, so knowing that someone doesn’t like or approve of the judgment we’ve made or how we look can be hurtful. And when we’re judged by someone whose approval we crave, such as a parent, spouse, teacher, or boss, the criticism can cause intense distress and damage self-esteem.
Harsh or relentless disparagement from people who love us, often clothed as caring advice or helpful prodding, can be particularly toxic. It’s helpful to realize that it’s one thing to feel bad when someone doesn’t approve of us; it’s quite another to allow their disapproval to shape our self image.
Eleanor Roosevelt said, "No one can make you feel inferior without your consent. "She was absolutely right! Negative comments about our lives are opinions, not facts.
How we feel, however, is a fact, and an important one at that. Thus, it’s rational and healthy to nurture relationships that bring out the best in us and to cut off or distance ourselves from those that bring us down. Here are 2 strategies Here are two strategies worth exploring before you limit or eliminate contact with critical people whom you care about:
1. Try to fix the relationship by respectfully confronting the negative influences in your life. Don’t attack them for hurting you, but in love, just explain how you feel when they criticize you and see if they care about you enough to modify their conduct.
2. If that doesn’t work, try to build immunity to their negativity. Think of the hurtful comments of your incorrigible critic as irrational ravings – and ignore them...in love, of course!

A GOOD NAME.
In every age and in every culture, a person's name has been important. Whether names signify characteristics of the person or the family or if they have been passed down from one generation to another, the mention of a name can stir favour or shame. That's why King Solomon said, "A good name is to be chosen rather than great riches, loving favour rather than silver and gold."
As our character is tested and shaped, and we proof to be trustworthy, the mention of our names will bring smiles to people's faces. Nothing, absolutely nothing, is more important than our names as God's beloved children. Riches will end, fame will fade, and possessions will rust and rot, but the loving favour of God will last for eternity. "Paint the picture of your life with godly decisions and you will never be ashamed to attach your signature to the portrait you create."

WHEN LESS IS MORE
Many of us are afflicted with the "go, go, go disease." Somehow, we have developed the core belief that we can't be happy unless we have our lives full of activities. But the disease leaves us feeling exhausted. Our most cherished relationships become shallow and tense and we become confused because we're trying so hard but feel so empty.
In our light-speed tendencies, one of the marks of true wisdom is the determination to carve out time and space to reflect, rest, and recharge our emotional batteries. "Better a handful with quietness than both hands full, together with toil and grasping for the wind"...King Solomon. Creating margins in our lives doesn't just happen. We have to schedule it, value it, and then protect it from the onslaught of voices that scream "You have to do this too!" Making margins a priority reduces stress, increases fulfillment, and leads to richer relationships with God and every person in our lives.

DEFEAT IS ONLY DEFEAT IF YOU ACCEPT IT AS SUCH.
The most important moment in your life is when you recognise that you have met with defeat. Every defeat you meet will mark an important turning point in your life, for defeat will bring you face to face with the necessity of renewing confidence in yourself, or of admitting that confidence is lacking.
Defeat often serves to relieve a man of his conceit. But there is a difference between conceit and self-reliance based upon an honest inventory of one’s character. The man who quits when defeat overtakes him thereby indicates that he mistook his conceit for self-reliance. If a man has genuine self-reliance, he also has sound character, for one springs from the other. And a sound character does not yield to defeat without a fight.
Education, skill and experience are useful assets in every calling, but they will be of little value to the man who accepts defeat. *Failure and adversity have introduced many men to opportunities which they would not have recognized under more favourable circumstances.
A man’s attitude in respect to defeat is the factor of major importance in determining whether he rides with the tides of fortune on the success side of life or is swept to the failure side of circumstances of misfortune. The man who maintains a positive attitude along with the wisdom of God may have anything in life upon which he may set his heart, so long as it does not conflict with the laws of God and the rights of his fellowmen.

MAKE YOUR LIFE WORTHWHILE.
You’ve no doubt heard the phrase, a muscle never stretched never grows. The big challenge we all face is how to become all that we can be, all that God created us to be! Jim Rohn often said, "You can have more because you can become more—and unless you change how you are, you will always have what you’ve got.” And he’s right. You know how good it feels to maximize your own potential and stretch yourself to the limit. We begin a worthwhile life by learning. You have to have learning to exist, let alone succeed. What you don’t know will hurt you.
Learn from your own experiences—negative or positive. We learn to do it right by first sometimes doing it wrong—we call that a positive negative. Behind every successful man there is a lot of unsuccessful years
Learn from other people’s experiences, both positive and negative, too.

INSPIRATIONAL DISSATISFACTION.
We are happiest when we are striving to achieve a goal. When we achieve one goal, it’s a natural human tendency to set another, usually bigger, one. W. Clement Stone calls it inspirational dissatisfaction — the letdown one experiences after a goal has been achieved and before the next step toward a new one has been taken. When you begin to experience that nagging feeling, it’s time to get into action! Make sure you have a long-range plan in place so that when one short-term goal has been achieved, there is a natural progression toward the next. *This is a fine world for the person who knows precisely what he or she expects from life and is busy getting it.

*NEVER MIND WHAT OTHERS DIDN’T DO. IT IS WHAT YOU DO THAT COUNTS.*
If you depend upon others for your success, you are doomed to a life of failure and despair. It is a sad fact of life that few people consistently deliver what they promise. Instead of lamenting what someone else should have done to help you, focus on what you can do to help yourself. The best plan of action is one that provides opportunities for others to benefit if they wish to work with you toward the accomplishment of your goals but that does not depend upon these people for success.
