Don't forget them
No matter what you're going through at any stage of your Life.
There are three Groups of people you must not do away with or stay far from them.
1. Your parents : They've Spiritual authority over you and so they can determine what would become of you even when you're far away. Especially your mother. Love them, respect them and accept them with their flaws.
2. Your Friends: You'll always need friends as no one maintains a position forever, be it happiness or sadness, riches or poverty bottom line is you'll always need friends to carry you up or to any position in Life. Never do away with good people for they would surely influence you with good qualities.
3. People who Care about you/Love you unconditionally:.
There are people who Love the person you. Don't stay away from them for they desire to see you happy. They'll help you through the tick and thinning holes. They won't give up on you no matter your flaws. A tree doesn't make a forest. You can't thread it alone.

Spread the message
Do You Want Your Church to Grow? (4)
'The new wine is found in the cluster...' ISAIAH 65:8
The fourth, and perhaps the most frustrating challenge we face when it comes to church growth, is to involve them. Why is that? A message on a bulletin board outside a church gives us a clue. The top line says, 'We care about you,' and the line underneath reads: 'Sundays. 10 am only.' A cartoon by Erik Johnson puts it another way. At the top in big bold letters is a sign that reads: 'The challenge of starting a men's ministry.' Standing directly under the sign is a group of bored-looking guys. To the right of the group is the pastor, who quips: 'So far, the only thing we have in common is an aversion to singing, socialising and sharing.' People can feel lost and lonely in a crowd, even if it's in church. Sitting in a pew looking at the back of somebody's head for an hour and a half doesn't meet anyone's emotional, relational, or spiritual needs. As a member of Christ's body, the church, it's your job to take the first step and initiate contact with those around you. Jesus went out of His way to love the fallen, the fraudulent and the faithless-people others wouldn't have anything to do with. When someone comes into your church and finds Christ, your job has only begun. They are called to serve and you are called to show them how, when and where. 'The new wine is found in the cluster...' Wine speaks of joy. But you can't get it out of a single grape; you've got to have a 'cluster'. Are you getting the idea?

You Need to be Happy
Nothing in life guarantee happiness. Is it money? It will surely finish. Is it fame? It will definitely fade away. Nothing remains for ever except the blessing of the Lord and his plans for our lives. You need to desire to be happy no matter how things are going with you right now. There is nothing you're going through now that will last forever and that should give you a reason to be hopeful and believe that it just a phase. One of the ways to be happy in this life, is one shouldn't hold any grudges against anyone.
Holding grudges takes away happiness and brings Unlimited worries to ones heart. It deprives you of the joy of the present. It leaves one frustrated at the end of each day. Our heart is just like a flat bed, when you arrange it well. That's with good words, faith, good companies and great ideas with self discipline You're able to move around on it freely and live your normal life. But supposed you dropped the plate you used to eat and every other dirty things on the bed. You can agree with me it will be very difficult to sleep on it. so also is the issues of our heart, if we feed it with bad thoughts, regrets, fears and failure of the past.
Our heart is a channel and the Major source of all our actions. The way we dress, Speak in the public, see others and carry ourselves is majorly controlled by the thought that proceed from our hearts. If you get rid of many dirty things from your heart, your thoughts will be pure and inspirational. You will be able to make good plans, help others, live at peace with others, Concentrate on what really matters and you will see things will be well with you. If you allow the table of your heart to be full of dirty things such as unforgiveness, bitterness, hatred, malice, worry/fear over the unknown, failure of the past and the likes. It will be difficult for you to be totally happy because those things will surely occupy your heart and will prevent you from pure thought.
It therefore implies that, the first steps to happiness in this life is to "let go of the Past" its not that you will not remember, but it means you don't allow it to have a negative effect over your present life. We all need to learn to forgive others and to forgive ourselves as well. In the places where we have failed or messed up. See you at the Top and do not let go of your happiness.
Best Wishes
