To master anything, one must first master themselves–one’s emotions, one’s thoughts, one’s actions. Eisenhower famously said that freedom is really the opportunity to practice self-discipline. Cicero called the virtue of temperance the polish of life. Without boundaries and restraint, we risk not only failing to meet our full potential and jeopardizing what we have achieved, but we ensure misery and shame. In a world of temptation and excess, this ancient idea is more urgent than ever.

In Discipline is Destiny, Holiday draws on the stories of historical figures we can emulate as pillars of self-discipline, including Lou Gehrig, Queen Elizabeth II, boxer Floyd Patterson, Marcus Aurelius and writer Toni Morrison, as well as the cautionary tales of Napoleon, F. Scott Fitzgerald and Babe Ruth. Through these engaging examples, Holiday teaches readers the power of self-discipline and balance, and cautions against the perils of extravagance and hedonism.

At the heart of Stoicism are four simple virtues: courage, temperance, justice, and wisdom. Everything else, the Stoics believed, flows from them. Discipline is Destiny will guide readers down the path to self-mastery, upon which all the other virtues depend. Discipline is predictive. You cannot succeed without it. And if you lose it, you cannot help but bring yourself failure and unhappiness.

THE COST OF A HAPPY HOME.🏡
When you see a happy couple, don't envy them or assume they are lucky to find each other. If you see any, be sure they were made.

*Being a good person or being religious, does not make a happy home, neither does riches and wealth. Marrying the *most beautiful woman or the most handsome man* does not guarantee happiness in marriage either.

*Many believers even think marrying another good believer is a sure way to having a happy home but many have been disappointed. What then makes up for a happy home?

*A happy home is a function of mutual fulfillment derived from mutual selfless commitment to the marital union. Having a happy home can only be achieved by deliberate efforts and determination of both parties.

No matter how much a partner desires a happy home, *it can only happen if the other partner wants and agrees to build a happy home.*

To achieve a happy home *therefore, both parties must first offer themselves as a living sacrifice on the altar of their marriage.* They must deny themselves and be willing to accept their cross.

*In a happy home, ego and self are buried in the grave of marital bliss. Partners in a happy home don't think too much about themselves but the happiness of their spouse.

*The journey to a happy home can be initiated by the man or the woman. This journey starts with *contentment and diligence.* Then it continues in daily *forgiveness and mutual tolerance.*

*No couple is happy when they continue to look at each other's weaknesses or offences.* They can only be happy if they *choose to accept each other's* shortcomings and offenses

And take their pains and hurts to the Almighty God, instead of romancing with them. Happy couples *don't win arguments,* rather, they communicate to achieve a better union.

*Happy couples don't compare their marriage with others,* they are happy and contented with what they have. Happy homes are not meant for selfish and inconsiderate partners.

Happiness is a choice but the price is not cheap. *Only the humble and the broken can buy it.* The manual for a happy home is not designed by society or social media.

*They are designed by the couple.*
The ideal home mustn't follow the acceptable trends in society rather than working and practicing what makes the parties happy.

You can initiate the journey to a happy home today no matter how far you have traveled in the path of bitterness and unforgiveness.

An unhappy home is the opposite of a happy home and a happy home is a reflection of heavenly bliss. Don't get it twisted. Make a wise choice today. You will not fail in marriage in Jesus name

🕊❤️🕊 THANK YOU GOD 🕊❤️🕊

Psalm 9:1 I will praise thee, O Lord, with my whole heart; I will shew forth all thy marvellous works.

Psalm 9:2 I will be glad and rejoice in thee: I will sing praise to thy name, O thou most High.

The words of Jessie Brown Pound's old hymn say it best: "If the light of his presence has brightened your way, O will you not tell it today?"

The Psalm begins as the psalmist comes before God in a posture of praise. He gives thanks to God from his whole heart as he reflects on the wonderful deeds of God.

True worship comes from the depths of our souls and the very well spring of our hearts. When we come to praise God our hearts are filled with gladness.

Many people search hard to find happiness and many people long for happiness. People look for it in many different places. Trus happiness and joy comes from a heart filled with worship and praise to the most high God. When we praise the Lord and give him glory we are satisfied in God as we do what God designed us as his image bearers to do.

Luke 17:13 And they lifted up their voices, and said, Jesus, Master, have mercy on us.

When Jesus encountered the ten lepers on his way to Jerusalem all ten asked to be healed. All ten obeyed Jesus' command to go show themselves to the priests. As the lepers went to the priests they were healed. However, only one returned to thank Jesus.

Were not all ten cleansed?" he asked. "Was no one found to return and give praise to God except this foreigner?

Luke 17:17 And Jesus answering said, Were there not ten cleansed? but where are the nine?

Luke 17:18 There are not found that returned to give glory to God, save this stranger.

Luke 17:19 And he said unto him, Arise, go thy way: thy faith hath made thee whole.

Jesus did not heal the lepers for the thanks. But He really appreciated it when one He had healed remembered his manners.

When Jesus met the ten lepers on the road to Jerusalem, he didn't require anything of them.

Jesus asks were not all ten cleansed? Where are the other nine?" But His pleasure is also evident at the one who took the time to return and express his gratitude.

Giving thanks is not just something that is spontaneous. Expressing our thanks is a deliberate act.

Thanks, praise and worship to the Lord our God not only causes us to forget about our troubles but they also causes our confidence in our God to rise above our circumstances and deepens our faith in our God.

When we have purposed in our hearts to commit to putting God first there will be no doubt that our praise, worship and thanksgiving to Him will be with sincere gratitude because our worship to the Lord our God is not out of any hidden motives, but out of our love for Him because of who He is and all He has done and continues to do on behalf of His people.

God,
We praise Your name with our whole heart we are devoted to You and committed to You. We will work today and every day to follow Your word. Along the way we will share with others about Your marvelous works. We do praise You from the bottom of our heart. God bless us today as we seek to bring others to know and to praise You more fully. You have all of our praise. We come to to You with a humble heart filled with gratitude , love and Praise. Thank you Thank you Thank you. It is in the name of Jesus we pray
Amen

I not only have just one minute ... with every breath I am blessed with Thanks be to God flows from my lips.

With that just one minute I treasure it no matter what that minute brings for it is a minute I will never get back.

With that just one minute I treasure the beauty that God has placed all around me

With just that minute I give thanks to God whether it is good or bad for that minute is working for my good either way.

With just one minute I thank God for all he has brought me in that minute for it was either a lesson or a blessing.

With just one minute is a short amount of time and God teaches to not waste our time .

Thank you God for another blessed day. Please watch over my family and friends. May everyone have a peaceful day filled with the love and grace of our Father as we walk this day with Him by our side.
THANK YOU GOD

Always remember that you're someone's choice; just the way you are, without editing or recreation. You're everything someone needs, and your flaws will be beautiful to them. Never for a moment regret how you look, or the natural features you came with.

People will make jest of your big nose, big eyes, small ear, small or saggy breast, stretch marks, short nature, slim stature, plus size body, big this or small that. But believe me when I say your flaws beautify you. To feel bad about them is to feel bad about your selling point.

Cool. Some folks don't like it. But there's someone who'd die for you for just the same reason others left you.

Build your esteem with your own words of value. You're beautiful. Deserving of love. You are Enough, And someone's choice.

It's okay if they reject you. Someone is praying to have you.
