    <title>Oct 10, A Follower Of Christ Faces Death</title>
    <link>http://www.empowering-quotations.com/empowering-quotations-blog.html#A-Follower-Of-Christ-Faces-Death</link>
    <description>By now I am sure that most people have heard or read about the young Christian Pastor who the Iranian government has sentenced to death by hanging for being a Christian.


Pastor Yosef Nadarkhani,  who converted to Christianity at the age of 19 has repeatedly refused to renounce his Christian faith, despite the Court ordered death sentence by hanging.

Please take a moment to reflect, and say a prayer for Pastor Nadarkhani.  

&lt;b&gt;But - I ask that you do more; a lot more.&lt;/b&gt; 

Share this information with your friends and family, and especially your Church.

 &lt;u&gt;The Bible teaches us that prayer is a powerful force.&lt;/u&gt;  

So I ask that you individually and collectively pray for  Pastor Nadarkhani.

Ask your Pastor to dedicate a special night of prayer, and ask your Pastor to contact other Pastors for a collective night of prayer.

Spread the word, pray and thank God for your right to openly declare your belief in Christ.</description>

    <description>THANKS PAIGE - for your submission of this thought provoking and wonderful video by Laura Story. 

It reminds us that we never know how God is choosing to do his work in us. 

And it also reminds us to take our eyes off of our problems, and to focus on God.

Once we do that, we start to see everything differently.  

Please continue to send in material and suggestions -- you never know how many people you will reach with your message of hope.

By the way folks, if possible also send in a little info on yourself -- so we can share it with everyone.

    <title>Apr 3, What Are You Looking For?</title>
    <link>http://www.empowering-quotations.com/empowering-quotations-blog.html#What-Are-You-Looking-For?</link>
    <description>&quot;What you see depends on what you&#39;re looking for.&quot; -Anonymous

So be careful what you look for.  

Are you looking for reasons to complain?  Or are you looking for reasons to compliment and praise?


Are you looking for excuses and reasons why something can&#39;t be done?  Or are you looking for solutions and possibilities?


Are you looking for beauty in the things you see?  Or are you looking for faults and imperfections?


Are you looking for reasons why you are a victim?  Or are you looking for strength and encouragement to overcome adversity?


As you start your day reflect on the questions I have asked and decide what direction you are headed towards and what it is you seek.


Your mind is a very curious thing -- it will provide results that complement your beliefs and whatever it is you seek.


So remember: &lt;u&gt; &quot;What you see depends on what you&#39;re looking for.&quot;&lt;/u&gt;


&lt;b&gt;What are you looking for?&lt;/b&gt;

    <title>Mar 24, Formula For Success</title>
    <link>http://www.empowering-quotations.com/empowering-quotations-blog.html#Formula-For-Success</link>
    <description>&quot;Would you like me to give you a formula for success? 

Its quite simple, really. 

Double your rate of failure. You are thinking of failure as the enemy of success. 

But it isnt at all. 

You can be discouraged by failure or you can learn from it, So go ahead and make mistakes. 

Make all you can. 


Because remember thats where you will find success.&quot; 

-quote by Thomas J. Watson

&lt;b&gt;Don&#39;t Ever Give Up&lt;/b&gt;

Whatever curve balls life throws at you, remember that as long as you &lt;u&gt; learn something&lt;/u&gt; from the experience 

-- &lt;b&gt; You will come out a winner.&lt;/b&gt;

Be thankful for each day, and for the lessons that you learn.

Now put that experience to work!


Until tomorrow, keep walking

-quote by John Button Salmon

submitted by &lt;b&gt; Chris&lt;/b&gt;

&quot;Bear Down&quot; is the official motto of the University of Arizona. 

It is the inspiration for &quot;Bear Down, Arizona!,&quot; the unofficial fight song of the school&#39;s Arizona Wildcats. 

Fight songs [team anthems, team songs]  are a popular way for fans to cheer for their team.

Thanks Chris - we appreciate you taking the time to contact us.

    <title>Feb 24, The pain of discipline or the pain of regret.</title>
    <link>http://www.empowering-quotations.com/empowering-quotations-blog.html#The-pain-of-discipline-or-the-pain-of-regret.</link>
    <description>Each day you must choose to either work on yourself and your goals or to spend your time on something else.

  
--But remember this: the choice you make will determine whether you feel

--&lt;u&gt;The pain of discipline or the pain of regret.&lt;/u&gt;


&lt;b&gt;Success&lt;/b&gt; is a matter of continuing to seek to improve your mind, your 
body, your skills and taking action.

 
And what is &lt;b&gt;failure&lt;/b&gt; or regret? --



&quot;Failure is simply a few errors in judgment, repeated every day.&quot;

-quote by Jim Rohn


&lt;u&gt;Regret&lt;/u&gt; is a method that our mind uses to  remind us that we made an error in judgment.


So, &lt;i&gt;the million dollar question&lt;/i&gt; you have to ask yourself is ---

Will you continue to repeat your bad judgment ---- 

or will you learn from your mistakes and take action to move away from them?


Only &lt;b&gt;&lt;u&gt;YOU&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/u&gt; can answer that question. 

Once you decide -- then you will either be on your journey to &quot;empowerment&quot; &lt;u&gt;or&lt;/u&gt; on the road to regrets.



&lt;b&gt;&quot;If you don&#39;t like how things are, change it! 

You&#39;re not a tree.&quot;&lt;/b&gt;

-quote by Jim Rohn


Until tomorrow, keep walking

    <title>Dec 31, A New Beginning or The Same Old Thing?</title>
    <link>http://www.empowering-quotations.com/empowering-quotations-blog.html#A-New-Beginning-or-The-Same-Old-Thing?</link>
    <description>Well it&#39;s that time of the year again.

  A time when most of us reflect on what has transpired over the last twelve months and decide whether we accomplished what we wanted or not.

  
How is your life?  

Are you happy with what you have accomplished this year or are you wondering &quot;what if&quot;?


If you are feeling that you could have done more, and are trying to figure out what happened --

--than let me offer you some quotations so we set a starting point.

 
*******


&quot;A mind troubled by doubt cannot focus on the course to victory.&quot; 

quote by Arthur Golden 

****

Rule your mind or it will rule you.

 
 quote by Horace

  
****


&quot;Successful and unsuccessful people do not vary greatly in their abilities. They vary in their desires to reach their potential.&quot;

 
quote by John Maxwell


****


&quot;Talk does not cook rice.&quot;


 -Chinese Proverb


****


&quot;None of the secrets of success will work unless you do.&quot;

 
 Anonymous


****


&quot;Once you agree upon the price you and your family must pay for success, it enables you to ignore the minor hurts, the opponent&#39;s pressure, and the temporary failures.&quot;

 
-quote by Vince Lombardi

  
****

&quot;A pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity; 

an optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty.&quot;.... 


-quote by Churchill.

*******

These quotes offer us &lt;u&gt;two important details &lt;/u&gt;that are of the utmost importance if we really want to make a difference in our lives.


&lt;b&gt;Continue below&lt;/b&gt;</description>

    <title>Dec 31, A New Beginning or The Same Old Thing?</title>
    <link>http://www.empowering-quotations.com/empowering-quotations-blog.html#A-New-Beginning-or-The-Same-Old-Thing?</link>
    <description>&lt;b&gt;continued from above&lt;/b&gt;


1. The power of our mind &amp; what we focus on.


If you tend to focus on reasons &quot;why something cannot be done or a situation can&#39;t be changed&quot; --

-- then you will never find the energy or courage to change.


What is one of the primary lessons that we learn by reading the Bible?  

&lt;b&gt;FAITH.&lt;/b&gt;


*******


We must have the faith that things will work out somehow, that God will make a way for us when there seems no way.&quot;
 
-quote by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.


&quot;Faith is taking the first step even when you don&#39;t see the whole staircase.&quot; 

-quote by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.


******




2. You need to take constructive action towards your goal.


You see God wants us to have faith -- but he doesn&#39;t want us to sit around waiting and just asking.  

He wants us to get up and push forward, believing that he will provide us the guidance and wisdom to make the right decisions.


And -- should we make a wrong decision, he wants us to learn from our mistake (attain wisdom) and keep moving forward.


******

&quot;Again and again, the impossible problem is solved when we see that the problem is only a tough decision waiting to be made. &quot;

quote by Robert H. Schuller

******
 
As you review this past year and set you new goals for the coming year, keep in the forefront of your mind what is truly important --

&lt;u&gt;--Your relationship with God.&lt;/u&gt;


Let that be your first goal of this coming year.  

Do that and you will start to see major changes in your life, your thoughts, your direction.


******


Proverbs 1

 
5 let the wise listen and add to their learning, and let the discerning get guidance-
 
6 for understanding proverbs and parables, the sayings and riddles of the wise. 

7 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and discipline.

 
******

From my family to yours, I wish you a safe and happy New Year.  

I hope that this web site has been  an inspiration for you and that the words I have chosen have motivated and empowered you.  

You have the power to change your life -- but it is up to you and you alone to decide the choices you want to make.

    <title>Dec 4, &lt;b&gt;Heart Of A Champion&lt;/b&gt;</title>
    <link>http://www.empowering-quotations.com/motivationalquotes.html</link>
    <description>Being a Champion requires an inner strength that helps you to overcome pain, doubt, and fear.  

I like to provide you with videos that show people just like you and me, pushing on when the circumstances tells them &lt;i&gt;&quot;give up&quot;.&lt;/i&gt;


Holland Reynolds a 16 year old high school cross-country runner from California has the heart of a champion.  

During a race last weekend, her University High School team was poised to win another state championship, when her body told her  &quot;you have to stop&quot;.


But her determination, her motivation, her courage and her heart told her to &quot;push on.&quot;

&lt;i&gt;Our greatest glory is not in never falling,

Holland looked fear in the face and made a decision that nothing would stop her from reaching her goal.   

&lt;b&gt;You too can reach any goal you set -- if you are willing to face your fears and push pass them.&lt;/b&gt;

&lt;i&gt;Obstacles don&#39;t have to stop you.

When Life throws obstacles in your path, &lt;u&gt;don&#39;t give up&lt;/u&gt; - find a way, around, over or through them and continue your journey.

be thankful for all those folks who reach out to give a helping hand.

***


&lt;b&gt;Now do one more thing.&lt;/b&gt; 


 &lt;u&gt;Make it a point -today - to go out and do a random act of kindness - 

you see, giving back [blessing someone else] is the best way to show that you are truly thankful.&lt;/u&gt;

*******


&lt;i&gt; Do not judge, and you will not be judged.
 
Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned.
 
Forgive, and you will be forgiven.
 
Give, and it will be given to you.
 
A good measure, pressed down, shaken together 
and running over, will be poured into your lap.
 
For with the measure you use, 
it will be measured to you. &lt;/i&gt;


Luke 6:37-38

Have you been blessed? &lt;a href=&quot; http://www.empowering-quotations.com/blessed.html&quot;&gt; Would you like to share your story?&lt;/a&gt;


Have a safe and enjoyable holiday,

    <description>Take a second look at what is going on around you.  

But this time try to look from a different perspective.  

We tend to get desensitized in our environment.


So, step out of your daily routine - and re-examine what you see when you step out into the world.

    <description>God wants you to be all you can be.

&lt;u&gt;Don&#39;t place limits on your abilities.&lt;/u&gt;

Self doubt &amp; procrastination- are  goal killers.


When you feel that you can&#39;t do something because (&lt;i&gt;fill in any reason you have&lt;/i&gt;)-read the selected quotes below and then view the two videos.


I hope that after you finish this short blog, your life will be changed forever. 

-- And you will never again say that you can&#39;t.

&quot;The real contest is always between what youve done and what youre capable of doing.  

You measure yourself against yourself and nobody else.&quot;

    <title>Oct 20, &lt;b&gt;Do You Focus On Your Possibilities -- or Limitations?&lt;/b&gt;</title>
    <link>http://www.empowering-quotations.com/empowering-septpg1.html</link>
    <description>One of the most important points that I continue to make  is that &lt;u&gt;your focus &lt;/u&gt;has a tremendous influence on your beliefs &amp; thus on what action you take or fail to take.


This is a decision that &lt;u&gt;you&lt;/u&gt; make &amp; that &lt;u&gt;you&lt;/u&gt; have complete control of.


If you continue to focus on your:

-problems 

-your limitations 

-your fears  

the end result will be that you will not move forward.


Perhaps you justify your actions by saying that &lt;i&gt;&quot;we don&#39;t understand how big your problems are.&quot;&lt;/i&gt;


&lt;b&gt;Please consider what I am about to tell you &amp; then decide if your problems are &lt;u&gt;really that big&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/b&gt;

In the following video I want you to meet Mr. Clay Dyer, &lt;b&gt;a man that focuses on possibilities, &amp; not on his limitations.&lt;/b&gt;


Once you watch this video I want you to &lt;i&gt;&quot;ask yourself if your problems are still as insurmountable as you believe.&quot;&lt;/i&gt;



&lt;object width=&quot;425&quot; height=&quot;344&quot;&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;movie&quot; value=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/v/glrU4JKV1SI?fs=1&amp;amp;hl=en_US&amp;amp;rel=0&amp;amp;color1=0xe1600f&amp;amp;color2=0xfebd01&quot;&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;allowFullScreen&quot; value=&quot;true&quot;&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;allowscriptaccess&quot; value=&quot;always&quot;&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/v/glrU4JKV1SI?fs=1&amp;amp;hl=en_US&amp;amp;rel=0&amp;amp;color1=0xe1600f&amp;amp;color2=0xfebd01&quot; type=&quot;application/x-shockwave-flash&quot; allowscriptaccess=&quot;always&quot; allowfullscreen=&quot;true&quot; width=&quot;425&quot; height=&quot;344&quot;&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;



You have the power to change your life--&lt;b&gt;But Only If You Really Want To&lt;/b&gt;

&lt;u&gt;Take that first step.&lt;/u&gt;
