Seeds of thought
Plant the seed of a thought in your mind and it quickly takes root. Nurture that seed as the days and months go along, and it will grow into something substantial.
In this moment, and in every moment, you can choose what to put into your mind. And whatever you consistently put into your mind will soon become a part of your life.
If you use every opportunity you have to put regret, envy, anger, greed, and despair into your mind, what will be the result? The reality of your world will overflow with all those negative influences.
Instead, in each moment, every chance you get, put positive, empowering thoughts into your mind. And as time goes on, every aspect of your life will be lifted higher as a result.
You can choose which seeds of thought you put into your mind. Choose thoughts of love, possibility, generosity, abundance, compassion, strength and gratitude.
No matter what is going on in the world around you, you can plant and nurture precisely the thoughts you choose. Choose wisely, and it will have an enormous impact on the direction of your life.

Have a wonderful day friends..

When you do a bunch of questions before you open the book you will gain the momentum.

hello Hodgkins,

To me u r super fast friend. U r doing really great job out there and still finds time to post nice quotes everyday... U r really fast. May God help u to keep it up, and thanks for 2days quote. lets all have this seed of compassion and hard work enrouted in us. Lets practically eat, drink and sleep USMLE. good luck for 2days study

Thankyou drbin,for stopping by and for ur nice words.When I said slow...its all my energy, not able to spend good time in the lib from morning 10 to evening 6,nowadays, I am home early afternoon, sleep well..then after dinner try to finish in the night time..thats making me feel I am slowing down..in my energy, during the day time, I dont know why..same time that keeps me awake in the night..now today I got up at 10 in the morning, how I was before I start my diary.
But when I am alert /energetic I do how much ever I can...but U know drbin, u guys are excellent having other responsibility u are doing really good, but for me all I have is to study whole time..other than cooking here n there, so when I sleep like this, when everybody in the family planning their schedules according to my exam schedule, I feel guilty..anyway, I am gonno take doctor appointmnet soon..will see then
Tomorrow whole day is gone again, having guest tomorrow. So have to clean, shopp , cook and get ready for tomorrow. Lets see how much I can do then..

My Daily motivator for today:
Thursday, April 13, 2006
Setting priorities
Many times today life will ask you what's important to you. And each time you will answer, not with words but with actions.
In each moment of this day, life will ask about your priorities. And with the choices you make, the big one and the small ones, your answer will be clear.
The real, driving purpose behind your life is expressed not by flowery words or lofty intentions. Rather, that purpose is most accurately expressed by what you actually do with your life.
You can think and dream and speculate about what might and what might not hold real meaning for you. Yet the truth of who you are will be unmistakably shown by the choices of what you do.
Look around at the life you've created for yourself, and you'll clearly see your true priorities. If you wish to adjust those priorities, you can reliably do so by adjusting the actions that support them.
By the way you choose to give your time, attention and effort, you are setting your priorities, and those priorities will greatly influence the way your life proceeds. So choose to set them as high as you can imagine.
Ralph Marston http://greatday.com/
drbin, todays my motivator says according to your motto.."action speaks better than words"..
Have a good day friends..

Higher vantage point
When it seems that all hope is lost, it is not lost at all. What's really happening is that you are being compelled to move to a higher level.
Does it appear to you that there is no way forward? Raise your thinking and awareness to a higher perspective, and you'll see plenty of possibilities.
Do you find your way blocked by insurmountable obstacles? Imagine rising above them and by so doing you can find a way around them.
When you find yourself stuck, you'll need to go beyond thinking what you've always thought and doing what you've always done. It's time to challenge your assumptions and open yourself to new growth.
Move beyond your comfortable, familiar perspective and take a fresh, objective look at life. From a new viewpoint, problems that once seemed daunting can shrink into insignificance, and positive possibilities will dramatically expand.
When your path seems hopelessly blocked, make the effort to climb to a higher vantage point. From there you'll quickly see the way forward.

Hodgkins, it seem you are doing great, I didn't know you were working I admire you guys that work and study at the same time, whatever is the case we need to face this exam, so let's give our best shoot, wish you good luck in you study today. I am almost donw with lectures, to finish will have doc goljan, I am thinking how I am going to deal with 8 hours of his lectures a day, it's just too much, since every single word he says is so important, i will let you know about his new pearls This weekend is Easter but I will try to stick to my plan anyway, I better keep this at SS. Good luck and lots of energy in your way today bud

No 4mymd, I was busy at home yesterday because I had guests yesterday, so the whole day just gone like that. Thankyou for ur post, I am glad u r getting done with your classes, yes sure later we should be active in subject forums, and learn better and try to do things better..and beat this beast 
Yesrterday April 14th: What did I do?
Could not do anything, just was able to listen Goljan Neoplasia, but later as my husband helped at my work, there u go..talk talk..so nothing I could listen. But everything went good, my dishes came out simply great, wow..it was worth putting all my heart into it..very tiering anyway...but the best part is my home is clean and neat, its good do have guest atleast in the sense of updating your home..
Slept at 3am in the morning, still feeling sleepy..just dropped by to see how u guys are doing....gonno sleep again, until I feel energised, then start my day..then have to hurry up, to finish my schedule..

You are still you
Because you are aware of your awareness, you can transcend it. Not only can you see what is here and now, you can visualize the best of what can be.
If you were limited to merely reacting to events, you would be a prisoner of your circumstances. But you are not any such thing.
For you are blessed with the ability to step back from even the most intense situations. You can hold and nurture within you a vision that transcends the outer reality of any moment.
Keep that in mind the next time you become frustrated by life's ups and downs. There is a very real and powerful part of you that exists above and beyond every frustration, setback and disappointment.
By all means live and enjoy and experience life in the universe that surrounds you. At the same time, stay connected to that essential part of you that exists independent of the outside influences.
Whatever happens or fails to happen, you are still you at the deepest, most profound level. Remember that, and you'll find renewed confidence to step boldly forward no matter what.

Today I am happy, delighted with tears for teh grace and mercy of God, and same time I am worried, anxious, little bit scared...its all the mixture of emotions.
I just found out, my dear God has updated my status, from a just mere girl to the state of mother..it was unbelievable, but still the very beautiful truth, took me real good amount of time to accept the reality! All of a sudden I feel, I have more responsibility now..holding both my books and taking care of my little one..
That makes all the sense, why I was feeling very restless in recent days, well as I buckled up to start the journey of this Step 1 seriously, same time God with His mercy also had a plan for me,so I just accept and say all the thanks I can from my heart, and hold on to Him asking for the extra strength to guide me in my journey now...
God please help..I dont know what will I do now, but I am in peace knowing that you have a better purpose in my life than what I think it is better for me right now...!!
Myself and my little one...guess we will start this journey togeather..its okie even if I study jsut 1 page a day or even a mere paragraph, I will keep moving..this dairy is my motivator, and I will finish this journey..by Gods grace..!!
Requesting all your most humble prayers my dear friends, I dont know how am I gonno continue my study..
Hope myself and my little one can do this..
