The 7-Ups of Life
1. Wake Up !!
Decide to have a good day. "Today is the day the Lord hath made,
let us rejoice and be glad in it." Psalms 118:24
“Perseverance is a great element of success. If you only
knock long enough and loud enough at the gate, you are sure to wake up
somebody.” Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
“Determination is the wake-up call to the human
will” Anthony Robbins
What makes life worth living is knowing that one day you'll wake up and find
the person that makes you happier than anything in the whole world. So don't
ever lose hope and give up, everything turns out okay and the good guy always
wins.
2. Dress Up !!
The best way to dress up is to put on a smile. A smile is an inexpensive way
to improve your looks. "The Lord does not look at the things man looks
at. Man looks at outward appearance; but the Lord looks at the heart."I Samuel 16:7
PERFORM all acts with as much love as you would offer God. In Truth, you eat
for the satisfaction of the I in you and dress up to please the self-same I .
The husband loves his wife for the sake of the I. And who is this I that is
persistently inherent in everyone? It is God Himself.
3. Shut Up!!
Say nice things and learn to listen. Listen to advice and accept
instruction,
and in the end you will be wise." (Proverbs 19:20)
“If you shut up truth and bury it under the ground, it will
but grow, and gather to itself such explosive power that the day it bursts
through it will blow up everything in its way.” Emile Zola
4. Stand Up !!
For what you believe in. Stand for something or you will fall for anything.
"Let us not be weary in doing good; for at the proper time, we will
reap a harvest if we do not give up. Therefore, as we have opportunity,
let us do good..." Galatians 6:9-10
“Stand up to your obstacles and do something about them. You
will find that they haven't half the strength you think they have.” Norman
Vincent Peale
“Courage is what it takes to stand up and speak; courage is
also what it takes to sit down and listen.” Winston Churchill
Stand up to crises. Don't let them throw you! Fight to stay calm... even
surmount the crisis completely and turn it into an opportunity. Refuse to
renounce your self-image. No matter what happens, you must keep your good
opinion of yourself. No matter what happens, you must hold your past successes
in your imagination, ready for showing in the motion picture screen of your
mind. No matter what happens, no matter what you lose, no matter what failures
you must endure, you must keep faith in yourself. Then you can stand up to
crises, with calm and courage, refusing to buckle; then you will not fall
through the floor. You will be able to support yourself.
5. Look Up !!
To the Lord. "I can do everything through Christ who strengthens me". Philippians 4:13
“We had the sky up there, all speckled with stars, and we
used to lay on our backs and look up at them, and discuss about whether they
was made or only just happened.” Mark Twain
How does life become totally painful? By total retreat. Total non inspection
becomes total pain. But existence is basically composed of a very few truths
onto which have hung a great many artificialities and which man has adorned
with enormous numbers of lies. And man is prisoner of his own shadows. Now one
of the things you can do with man is to get him to look up and find out that he
can look through the shadows and look at the shadows and find out what they
are.
6. Reach Up !!
For something higher. ...keep seeking the things above, where Christ is,
seated at the right hand of God." Colossians 3:1
“I can't change the direction of the wind, but I can adjust
my sails to always reach up my destination.” Jimmy Dean
Every great dream begins with a dreamer. Always remember, you have within
you the strength, the patience, and the passion to reach up for the stars to
change the world.
7. Lift Up !!
Your Prayers. "Do not worry about anything; instead PRAY ABOUT EVERYTHING." Philippians 4:6
“Let the morning bring me word of your unfailing love, for I have put my
trust in you. Show me the way I should go, for to you I lift up my soul. Psalm
143:8.”
“Cause me to hear thy loving kindness in the morning; for in thee do I
trust: cause me to know the way wherein I should walk; for I lift up my soul
unto thee. Psalms 143:8”
“Let us lift up our heart with our hands unto God in
the heavens.”
