The thorn in your flesh hurts so much... so what can we do?

The thorn is there to 'mature' us into a better person.. If we can pass the test... the thorns will become the real crown that kings put on...

This crown of thorns, familiar with this?

This crown of thorns...
Who wore this crown that we know?
That bleeds and pains from its deep wounds?
And who did this to us? How and why?

Almost every family has a 'thorn'..
Why is there this 'thorn' be put into our family?
Think twice..
Listen...

A thorn is put into a family or anywhere to test us...
It is to test our strength in faith and believe...
It tests our forbearance, our will, our patience..
It tests our love, our anger, our emotions.. our character...

It is purposely put there..
So as to train us to be a better person...
To test how loving, how forgiving, how trusting one can be...
To test how just, how civilized, how strong we can be...

Once we can pass this test..
the pain will not be there...
the hurt will not be there too...
Just an understanding, a deep realization about LOVE...

It is best to understand that there is always a 'thorn' in the family... seldom 'rioses'...

Listen...
what do I mean the 'thorn' in the family?
It refers to that 'one' whom you love dearly yet...
hurts and pains you the most with his actions and thoughts...
Do you have one in the family? Oh, why not roses?

Yes, why not roses?
Most people are too unseeing, unfeeling, ungrateful...
The 'rose' is the outstanding, courageous, strong willed one...
The 'rose' is that one who leads and feeds the family...

Yes, why not roses?
Most people take things for granted...
Most people are more negative and unfeeling...
Thus even the roses are thorns in their eyes...

So, are there roses in the family?
Yes, there are... close your eyes and feel it...
You have... and most important of all, are you that rose?
The rose is always that one who offers unconditional love and sacrifices...

So, what can we do to this 'thorn'?
Why should we have thorns in our family?
Why should we lower our heads and feel the pain?
Why why why? these are those whys we always as

Discipline must be enforced by you upon your own self. When forced by others, you consider it as 'criticism' when your weakness is pointed by another one.

Discipline must be enforced by you

upon your own self, for when discipline 

is forced by another, its results are only 

suffocating and disastrous. 

When your weakness is pointed by 

another you consider it as "criticism" - 

once you have recognized your own weakness, 

only then will you truly seek the strength 

that will pull you and allow you to rise 

to the level of perfection. 

Carry the inspiration with you, always - 

motivate yourselves by visualizing your 

true independence. 

Remind your every thought that 

arises that you are now in God's control - 

let the fears, fear their own existence. 

Let only the truth lead you - 

simplify your task by implicitly obeying 

the commands of the conscience - 

stop looking to only hear it - it is time, 

that you listened from now
