Don't wait until everything is just right. It will never be perfect. There will always be challenges, obstacles and less than perfect conditions. So what. Get started now. With each step you take, you will grow stronger and stronger, more and more skilled, more and more self-confident and more and more successful.

All your life you are told the things you cannot do. All your life they will say you're not good enough or strong enough or talented enough; they will say you're the wrong height or the wrong weight or the wrong type to play this or be this or achieve this. THEY WILL TELL YOU NO, a thousand times no, until all the no's become meaningless. All your life they will tell you no, quite firmly and very quickly. AND YOU WILL TELL THEM YES.

One who holds back rising anger like a rolling chariot, that one I call a real driver; other people are but holding the reins.
– The Buddha

It takes two to quarrel: the other person can throw down the gauntlet, but we don’t have to pick it up. When someone criticizes us or contradicts us or speaks in an unpleasant tone of voice, there is no quarrel as long as we remember that we have the choice not to reply in the same manner. Trouble starts only when we react on the stimulus and response level – which may be all right for two-year-olds but not for mature men and women. At such times, it will help us to be more patient, and our example will help the other person to be more patient too.

The best way to cheer yourself up is to try to cheer somebody else up.
– Mark Twain

Often, when a low mood is coming on, sometimes it is because the mind has started to brood upon itself. The things that formerly seemed exciting now elicit no response. In a sense, we have closed down. A friend can talk to us and we will not hear; we can go to a movie and may not even follow the plot. We are utterly absorbed in a hall of mirrors inside, in which we and everyone around us are pushed, pulled, and twisted into fantastic shapes.

There are a number of effective ways of treating these dark moods where they start, within the mind. What helps is to do what your mind is crying out not to do: be with other people, work with them, make yourself take an active interest in what they are doing and saying. This turns attention away from yourself by directing it outward. Once you are more concerned with others, your melancholy is gone; you are alive again.

Love seeks no cause beyond itself and no fruit; it is its own fruit, its own enjoyment. I love because I love; I love in order that I may love.
– Saint Bernard

It takes a good deal of experience of life to see why some relationships last and others do not. But we do not have to wait for a crisis to get an idea of the future of a particular relationship. Our behavior in little everyday incidents tells us a great deal.

We only need to ask ourselves, “Am I ready to put the other person first?” If the answer is yes, that relationship is likely to grow deeper and more rewarding with the passage of time, whatever problems may come. If the answer is no, that relationship may not be able to withstand the testing that life is bound to bring.

Relationships break down, not because we are bad, but because we are illiterate in love.

Life quote....buddha

2010-01-21T07:34:00.000-08:00

As an irrigator guides water to the fields, as an archer aims an arrow, as a carpenter carves wood, the wise shape their lives.
– The Buddha

Time has a wonderful way of showing us what really matters.
Margaret Peters

2010-01-12T11:25:00.000-08:00

My mother drew a distinction between achievement and success. She said that 'achievement is the knowledge that you have studied and worked hard and done the best that is in you. Success is being praised by others, and that's nice, too, but not as important or satisfying. Always aim for achievement and forget about success.'

Helen Hayes (1900 - 1993)

Try not to become a man of success but rather to become a man of value.

Albert Einstein

2010-01-12T11:17:00.003-08:00

If A is success in life, then A equals x plus y plus z. Work is x; y is play; and z is keeping your mouth shut.

Albert Einstein

2010-01-12T11:16:00.001-08:00

Aim for success, not perfection. Never give up your right to be wrong, because then you will lose the ability to learn new things and move forward with your life.

Sri Sri Ravi Shankar's Quotes

2010-01-05T12:09:00.001-08:00

Q. How do blessings work?
Sri Sri: The world is made up of vibrations. Blessings are also vibrations. With a small cell phone you can hear someone from so far away. How do these vibrations travel and reach everyone? If you think about this, you can only wonder. This whole creation is made up of vibrations.
In the Ashtavakra Geeta, it is said, Tarangenaiva budbudda.*

Sri Sri Ravi Shankar's Quotes

2010-01-05T11:59:00.001-08:00

Commitment

You know we don’t act as the mind says, we act with commitment. Because mind says one day I don’t want to go to work. If you ask people who are working in offices, nobody’s mind wants them to go to office. If everyday is a Sunday, everybody will be very happy. If it’s a holiday, all the seven days, people would happily sit at home but life doesn’t work like that. So you have to commit and your life moves with commitment.

Sri Sri Ravi Shankar's Quotes

2010-01-05T11:58:00.000-08:00

The contrast between the ups and downs in life is greater. On a white cloth, even a small dust particle is clearly seen. Similarly, when the mind becomes more pure, even small jealousy or anger is an irritant. It is unbearable and you have to get rid of it quickly. This is but quite natural.At the same time, you get the inner strength to endure situations.

Sri Sri Ravi Shankar's Quotes

2010-01-05T11:55:00.000-08:00

Stop the racing mind. It is always thinking about the past or the future. We are angry about the past or anxious about the future. To take a fresh look at the world, the situation, you need to wake up and see, as Mahatma Gandhi used to say never look back. He would say lets see what we should do now & for the future. That gives a lot of energy, encouragement, enthusiasm, and lifts you up from the ashes around you.

Sri Sri Ravi Shankar's Quotes

2010-01-05T11:52:00.001-08:00

Tolerating means giving others sometime to improve. If their behavior hurts U & U want to give them some time to improve, this is tolerance. Educate them that what they are doing is going to harm them. Then ignore because U cannot correct everyone on the planet. Some people are that way. If you go on thinking about them, U will be spoiling Ur own peace of mind. So tolerate, educate, ignore & don’t react but respond.

Sri Sri Ravi Shankar's Quotes

2010-01-05T11:51:00.001-08:00

How do you know when to sleep, and when to eat? When you get tired, you know you need sleep, when you get hungry, you know its time to eat. Like that everyday take a break to be in meditation then you become recharged and can work better.

Sri Sri Ravi Shankar's Quotes

2010-01-05T11:50:00.000-08:00

Take it for granted that you love yourself. You are beyond the positive or negative qualities! You are not your positive or your negative qualities; you are something beyond both of them. When you acknowledge this, just know that this is it.

Sri Sri Ravi Shankar's Quotes

2010-01-05T11:48:00.001-08:00

Life is a mixture of everything: failure & success - they complement each other. If you fail, then you know the value of success, it is a stepping stone.You need to move forward: ask yourself, what did I learn from the past, and then what is my vision for the future? This will keep you going. For this, you need presence of mind, and for this, you need to get rid of stress.

Sri Sri Ravi Shankar's Quotes

2010-01-05T11:47:00.001-08:00

Just look at yourself. Have you always agreed with yourself? You had some idea yesterday; today you may have a different idea. Five years back you had other ideas - that do not necessarily agree with the ideas that you have today. So when you have disagreement with yourself, why should it not happen with someone else? The ‘someone’ you have a disagreement with -is just a photocopy of your old or the new self.

Sri Sri Ravi Shankar's Quotes

2010-01-05T11:46:00.000-08:00

Life needs to be a perfect balance between sound and silence, between dynamic activity and stillness, between being funny and jovial, and then being serious. If one aspect is missing, life is incomplete. If you are only serious, and not funny, then it’s not complete. If you are only funny, you become superficial. You are not deep. Silence is our ability to switch between them, this is most important.

Life

Life can bring failure.
Life can bring frustration.
Life can bring destruction.
Life can offer many sad stories.
But work can offer
Only one thing: perfection,
The life of perfection.

LIFE

In the animal life
Competition is indispensable.
Here the struggle for existence, itself,
Is a constant battle.
In the human life
Co-operation is indispensable.
Here collective peace and security
Give birth to progress and prosperity.
In the life divine
Self-dedication is indispensable.
Here universal oneness and love-revelation
Are God-manifestation.

20 quick ways to change your life

2010-01-05T01:27:00.001-08:00

1. Care for your self

We tend to load the basket of our lives with priorities and obligations, hoping that once we finish with them, we will relax. Unfortunately this is not the case. The basket is never empty because this is how we function as humans, so why do we stress? Our obligations can always wait. You need to find ways to escape for a moment from the present and the past at least once a day and relax with everything that can make you happy.

2. Give space to others

Which means, listening to what other have to say, do not interrupt them when they speak and not complete their phrases. Smile and try to give more attention to your communication with others.

3. Be yourself

The constant effort to demonstrate how capable you are, how many things you know, how many people you know, causes you stress and anxiety. You do not have to prove anything to anyone. You know what you can make and what do you deserve. The rest leave them for others to discover. Thus it has even greater value.

4. Flirting

Even if you are married or have a wonderful relationship, romance is always refreshing. A good morning, a smile, three simple words with a person you like, can build a wonderful day. Attention, however, the misunderstanding! There is no need to go to extremes to make you feel good.

5. Skip the perfectionism

Being obsessed with the bad side of life, either your own or somebody else is the most basic symptom of the unfulfilled. Instead of losing your valuable time trying to correct things – which leads to an endless, uneven and gruelling fight, since there would always be something better than what you have – Your better focused on how to feel relaxed and calm under the present circumstances. That does not mean compromise, but understanding that the less need for perfection means greater enjoyment of your life.

6. Don’t feel bad if you are bored

We have learn to deal with something constantly and when we do nothing, we feel that we are doing something wrong. This is not the case. Boredom is a way to calm. If we decide to just be bored, do it without remorse. Even though you feel uncomfortable not doing anything, the boredom at the same time can help you relax and relieve tension.

7. Laughing

Laughing improves the defense of our organism, strengthens the immune system, fights chronic diseases, provides a shield of protection for the heart, can cure the pain, migraines, depression, can help us breath deeper, oxygenizes the body, and can make you relaxed and calm.

8. Reward yourself

Reward is very great thing and you must not forget that you deserve a reward in your life! Reward yourself even if this means that you will have to spend some of your money for pleasure. If you always wanted to go for holiday to a desirable destination, give your self this reward and do it.

9. Self-sarcasms

They say that the ultimate step of humour is self-sarcasms. Learn to laugh with your self and your own mistakes.

10. Sex

Sex beautifies the skin, burns calories, boosts confidence, fills your batteries, it can make you feel better and can change your mood.

11. Appreciate the simple things

Hearing a good song, keeping your dog in your arms, speaking to an old friend, hearing a good comment from a colleague, are all small everyday things, but capable to fill you with joy and satisfaction. Get your own small moments of joy and not expect to place high expectations on you to be happy.

12. Be flexible

If your plans and goals for some reason do not work out as expected, be flexible and change them. Your time is precious, as well as your calm and relaxation. If things do not work out it is better to start something new, instead of trying to recover from the disappointment of your old targets. You only live once, do not forget that.

13. Time for … fasting

Is your body sick of the heavy and fatty foods? For 2-3 weeks stay away from snacks and pizza, sauce, milk, red meat, sweets, ready meals, soft drinks, alcohol and coffee. Detoxification diet does not mean not eating anything. Fasting is an old method of detoxification, and the abstention of the above is also a good solution.

14. Follow a healthy diet

A healthy diet is based on a good breakfast (e.g. fat free milk, fruits, cereals, bread and honey) in a light lunch (pulses and oil with black bread, salad with chicken and rice, fish with vegetables, spaghetti with vegetable sauce) and a small meal for dinner (toast with low fat cheese and boiled turkey) can enhance the protection of your body and give you more energy.

15. Coffee

Decrease the consumption of coffee each day to a minimum. Maybe you feel like a junkie in the beginning, but the positive effects will come immediately to your body, your sleep and the gradual reduction of tension and stress.

16. Water, water…

There is no need to be told by a doctor that water hydrates and stimulates the body. One and a half litres – or eight glasses of water if you prefer – is the minimum amount your body needs every day. A very good way is to start with half-litre bottles and drinking two every day and gradually increased them to four.

17. Take a deep breath

It is not original, but can be very effective. This is an exercise that helps to eliminate stress. Let you stomach free and take a deep inhalation in 4 parts. When you exhale, let the air out of the mouth in 8 parts. Deep breathing is perfect for releasing the accumulated stress and for greater clarity.

18. Be nice to other people

The positive words cost nothing. Either you have not used them or you feel embarrassed to express them, think how good you feel when someone compliments you, and give this pleasure to others as well.

19. Ideas for relaxing

Yoga, aromatherapy, massage therapy, tai chi, Pilates, meditation, improvisation, art therapy, are only few of the dozens of alternative ways to offer relaxation and positive energy in your life. Choose to try something from all this and you will not regret it.

20. Organize and clean your area

Your office space, bedroom and living room are spaces that you spend much of the day, so they must offer you peace and relaxation. Get rid of paper, useless objects, and old things and try to put things in a correct order. Maybe it is not the most interesting thing to do, but after so much work you will forget why you were stressed and glad to see it all arranged.

15 ways to help you achieve your goals and be successful in life.

2010-01-05T01:23:00.001-08:00

9. Keep trying until you finally win

Perseverance is nothing but a mental situation, and like all other mental states can thus be cultivated. Life can give everyone a plate of dinner and a glass of wine. It requires persistence, however, for those who seek much higher goals and want to be successful. So set your price and move on with your life. The basis of persistent is the basis of desire and occurs as a result of defined goals. To achieve that you should:

Determine your purpose. After setting the goal of your life you must define the purpose of that goal, this knowledge will help you overcome all the obstacles you will face in the way, and is a very powerful incentive.

Do not ever doubt for yourself. There is no room for self-uncertainty in your intention to become successful. Keep your courage high; do not to return to your old limiting beliefs with the first difficulty.

Persistence. It is easy to obtain and maintain perseverance for your goals if you can create feelings of passion and desire for that goal. Do not give up, be open to amazing opportunities and always look for a miracle. Even better you should become this miracle.

Be honest with yourself and clearly define on what needs to change. The change may be necessary and safe to bring success, so be flexible, open and honest.

When something is not working, get rid of it and renew your decision to move on. Do not focus on what goes wrong, concentrate on how to do it well.

Do not interpret your mistakes as failures. The failure is a source of invaluable education. When you see what is not working properly you can see what works well and should move in this direction and closer to your dreams.

Live with gratitude. Acknowledge and celebrate for all that you have this moment in your life. The sense of the unfulfilled extents and multiplies, so look carefully around you and be happy and grateful.

Habit. Perseverance is the direct result of habit, repetition and courage. Take risks, do something new, different and challenging. Get rid of your fears and risks. Really believe that the best way to live your life is out of the ordinary.

The willingness to insist will keep you on track in difficult times. What you usually say to yourself “Thing of big dreams, but be realistic” is not correct. Always have big dreams and big ambitions, and invest time, effort and flexibility to realize these dreams. Be persistent, but still relaxed, focused sighted but flexible – both in terms of your goals and your plans.

8. Understand that failure is a temporary situation

There are no exceptions to this rule. Some people know this due to the experience they have with persistence. You should not accept any defeat as something other than a temporary situation. Your desires and objectives have to be persistent so as to convert the temporary defeat eventually into victory. You should become one of those people who stand on the edge of life and watch other people give in to defeat and not ever rise again. Those who understand that failure is a temporary situation.

The society recognizes the genius and talented but it compensates economically and socially those who refuse to stop the effort. It recognizes and compensates perseverance.

7. Be Persistent

If you refuse to abandon the effort every time and at any cost, if you continue to be persistent but not intolerant, if you keep your eyes up and not around then your can be successful in your life and your name can be added to the endless list of successful people. Those people who refused to quit in the first hitch. There are many cases of people who did not give up despite the difficulties and failures.

Did you know that:
Nelson Mandela spent 27 years in a very harsh prison. Once released, he was elected president of South Africa and received the Nobel Peace Prize.
Michael Jordan was excluded from the basketball team of his school.
Conrad Hilton had bought some hotels, but lost all of them during economic recession. His accountants advised him to declare bankruptcy. He refused and with perseverance and determination has become one of the largest hotel chain owners, bearing his name and worth several million dollars.

There are many people who refused to abandon the effort even when they were faced with unbeatable difficulties. The list is endless, George Washington, Albert Einstein, Oprah Winfrey, Aristotle Onasis, … If you want your name to be entered in this list of people then your persistence should set aside your weaknesses and help you achieve your goals. Unfortunately, few are those who continue despite the difficulties, most people when they encounter a minor setback they give up and fail.

6. Renew your self

Your self has many dimensions: emotional, social, intellectual, physical and mental. It is necessary to try and improve your self in all those dimensions and to cultivate the potential in each of these areas. You need to find your personal pleasures and not to always follow what others do or want. This means that everybody should put their fears aside and be renewed, giving personal meaning in life.

5. Come closer to other people – cooperate

First understand others and then try to understand what is the best recipe for your personal and professional relationships. What others think and what they want, what they fear and how you can reach them better? These questions should guide your behavior in order to free from the fear that «others cannot understand me» and to develop functional, successful relationships.

One can achieve more through cooperation. You need to take care when you select the people to co-operate with, but also you need to set the strategy you will follow to handle the cooperation and relationship with other people. However, this is better than to hide it in your shell and believe that you will make it all alone, without any cooperation or help from others.

4. Positive thinking

Think and visualize your personal victory. This is the best way to face every situation i.e. as a personal victory, not defeat. Instead of thinking that everything in life is like a cake and whoever takes a piece this will make the remaining pieces smaller for others, think that in life there is plenty for everyone. Rather then start thinking that you will not succeed or that there are insurmountable obstacles, adopt a realistic attitude and believe that you can accomplish your goals, even if you have to experience some difficulties.

3. Set priorities

There is a need to become a manager for yourself, which means that you must learn to organize and implement your activities so as to align with your objectives.

This enables better concentration, productivity that will eventually lead to success. This personal success will help you overcome your fears of failure and enable you to take the big step to change your life and meet your goals.

1. Be active and not passive

People have the desire to be active in their lives and control their environment (family, other people, work, etc.) and not being controlled by it. Self confidence and the strength to take the right decision for your self (and not do what will please others) are important parameters that can help you overcome stress, beat passiveness and be successful in your life. Take your decisions and stop feeling sorry for your self. If you need to mourn for a loss or a bad situation do it, but do not to be consumed by it. Accepting the real facts and doing a realistic assessment is the starting point to set targets and to change your life.

2010-01-05T00:21:00.000-08:00

For a long time it had seemed to me that life was about to

begin--real life. But there was always some obstacle in the

way, something to be gotten through first, some

unfinished business, time still to be served, a debt to be

paid. Then life would begin. At last it dawned on me that

these obstacles were my life.

Power of Words

2010-01-04T10:49:00.000-08:00

A group of frogs was traveling through the woods, and two of them fell into a deep pit. All the other frogs gathered around the pit.

When they saw how deep the pit was, they told the unfortunate frogs they would never get out.

The two frogs ignored the comments and tried to jump up out of the pit. The other frogs kept telling them to stop, that they were as good as dead.

Finally, one of the frogs took heed to what the other frogs were saying and simply gave up. He fell down and died.

The other frog continued to jump as hard as he could.

Once again, the crowd of frogs yelled at him to stop the pain and suffering and just die. He jumped even harder and finally made it out.

When he got out, the other frogs asked him, “Why did you continue jumping Didn’t you hear us?”

The frog explained to them that he was deaf. He thought they were encouraging him the entire time.

——————————————————

This story teaches two lessons:

1. There is power of life and death in the tongue. An encouraging word to someone who is down can lift them up and help them make it through the day.

2. A destructive word to someone who is down can be what it takes to kill them. Be careful of what you say. Speak life to those who cross your path.

…… The power of words ……

It is sometimes hard to understand that an encouraging word can go such a long way. Anyone can speak words that tend to rob another of the spirit to continue in difficult times.

Special is the individual who will take the time to encourage another.

May your words be a blessing to someone today.

“The Law of the Garbage Truck.”

2010-01-04T10:47:00.000-08:00

A couple of years ago, I learned this lesson. I learned it in the back of a New York City taxi cab. Here’s what happened. I hopped in a taxi, and we took off for Grand Central Station. We were driving in the right lane when, all of a sudden, a black car jumped out of a parking space right in front of us. My taxi driver slammed on his brakes, skidded, and missed the other car’s back end by just inches!

The driver of the other car, the guy who almost caused a big accident, whipped his head around and he started yelling bad words at us. My taxi driver just smiled and waved at the guy. And I mean, he was friendly. So, I said, “Why did you just do that? This guy almost ruined your car and sent us to the hospital!” And this is when my taxi driver told me what I now call, “The Law of the Garbage Truck.”

Many people are like garbage trucks. They run around full of garbage, full of frustration, full of anger, and full of disappointment. As their garbage piles up, they need a place to dump it. And if you let them, they’ll dump it on you. When someone wants to dump on you, don’t take it personally. You just smile, wave, wish them well, and move on. You’ll be happy you did.

So this was it: The “Law of the Garbage Truck.” I started thinking, how often do I let Garbage Trucks run right over me? And how often do I take their garbage and spread it to other people a work, at home, on the streets? It was that day I said, “I’m not going to do anymore.”

Well, now “I see Garbage Trucks.” I see the load they’re carrying. I see them coming to drop it off. And like my Taxi Driver, I don’t make it a personal thing; I just smile, wave, wish them well, and move on.

The mark of a successful person is how quickly she can get back her focus on what’s important.

Good leaders know they have to be ready for their next meeting. Good parents know that they have to welcome their children home from school with hugs and kisses. Leaders and parents know that they have to be fully present, and at their best for the people they care about.

The bottom line is that successful people do not let Garbage Trucks take over their day.

What about you? What would happen in your life, starting today, if you let more garbage trucks pass you by? Here’s my bet. You’ll be happier. Life’s too short to wake up in the morning with regrets, so.. Love the people who treat you right. Forget about the ones who don’t.

God........By Claudia Minden Weisz

2010-01-04T10:36:00.000-08:00

I asked God to take away my pride,
And God said "No".
He said it was not for Him to take away,
But for me to give up.

I asked God to make my handicapped child whole,
And God said "No."
He said her spirit is whole,
Her body is only temporary.

I asked God to grant me patience,
And God said "No."
He said patience is a byproduct of tribulation,
It isn't granted, it's earned.

I asked God to give me happiness,
And God said "No."
He said he gives blessings,
Happiness is up to me.

I asked God to spare me pain,
And God said "No."
He said "Suffering draws you apart from worldly
Cares and brings you closer to Me."

I asked God to make my spirit grow,
And God said "No."
He said I must grow on my own,
But He will prune me to make me fruitful.

I asked God to help me love others,
As much as He loves me,
And God said
"Ah, finally, you have the idea."

Smile Quote

2010-01-04T10:33:00.001-08:00

A smile costs nothing, but gives much. It enriches those who receive, without making poorer those who give. It takes but a moment, but the memory of it sometimes lasts forever. None is so rich or mighty that he can get along without it, and none is so poor but that he can be made rich by it. A smile creates happiness in the home, fosters good will in business, and is the countersign of a friendship. It brings rest to the weary, cheer to the discouraged, sunshine to the sad, and it is nature’s best antidote for trouble. Yet it cannot be bought, begged, borrowed, or stolen, for it is something that is of no value to anyone until it is given away. Some people are too tired to give you a smile. Give them one of yours, as none needs a smile so much as he has no more to give.

Life mantra

2010-01-04T10:30:00.001-08:00

YOU WILL RECEIVE A BODY...
You may like it or hate it,
but it will be yours for the entire period you're around.

YOU WILL LEARN LESSONS...
You are enrolled in a full-time informal school called life.
Each day in this school you will have the opportunity to learn lessons. You may like the lessons or think them irrelevant and stupid.

THERE ARE NO MISTAKES, ONLY LESSONS...
Growth is a process of trial and error, experimentation.
The "Failed" experiments are as much a part of the process as the experiment that ultimately "works".

A LESSON IS REPEATED UNTIL LEARNED...
A lesson will be presented to you in various forms until you have learned it. When you have learned it, you can then go on to the next lesson.

LEARNING LESSONS DOES NOT END...
There is no part of life that does not contain its lessons.
If you are alive, there are lessons to be learned.

"THERE" IS NO BETTER THAN "HERE"...
When your "There" has become a "Here", you will simply obtain
another "There" that will, again, look better than "Here".

OTHERS ARE MERELY MIRRORS OF YOU...
You cannot love or hate something about another person unless
it reflects to you something you love or hate about yourself.

WHAT YOU MAKE OF YOUR LIFE IS UP TO YOU...
You have all the tools and resources you need.
What you do with them is up to you. The choice is yours.

YOUR ANSWERS LIE INSIDE YOU...
The answers to life's questions lie inside you.
All you need to do is look, listen and trust.

YOU WILL FORGET ALL THIS...
Unless you consistently stay focused on the goals you have set for yourself, everything you've just read won't mean a thing.

Presence of GOD

2010-01-04T10:29:00.000-08:00

A man went to a barbershop to have his hair cut and

his beard trimmed.As the barber began to work, they

began to have a good

conversation.

They talked about so many things and various subjects.

When they eventually touched on the subject of God,

the barber said: "I don't believe that God exists."

"Why do you say that?" asked the customer. "Well, you

just have to go out in the street to realize that God

doesn't exist. Tell me, if God exists, would there be so

many sick people?

Would there be abandoned children? If God existed,

there would be neither suffering nor pain. I can't

imagine a loving God who would allow all of these

things."The customer thought for a moment, but didn't

respond because he didn't want to start an argument.

The barber finished his job and the customer left the

shop. Just after he left the barbershop, he saw a man

in the street with long, stringy, dirty hair and an

untrimmed beard. He looked dirty and unkempt.The

customer turned back and entered the barber shop

again and he said to the barber: "You know what?

Barbers do not exist."

"How can you say that?" asked the surprised barber. "I

am here, and I am a barber. And I just worked on you!"

"No!" the customer exclaimed. "Barbers don't exist

because if they did, there would be no people with

dirty long hair and untrimmed beards, like that man

outside."

"Ah, but barbers DO exist! That's what happens when

people

do not come to me." "Exactly!" affirmed the customer.

"That's the point! God, too, DOES exist! That's what

happens when people do not go to Him and don't look

to Him for help. That's! why there's so much pain and

suffering in the world."

yourself high enough to see beyond the horizons.

Somehow I can't believe that there are any heights that

can't be scaled by a man who knows the secrets of making

dreams come true. This special secret, it seems to me, can

be summarized in four Cs. They are curiosity,

confidence, courage, and constancy, and the greatest of

all is confidence. When you believe in a thing, believe in

it all the way, implicitly and unquestionably.

Once upon a time there was a fine pigeon who used to live on a nest close to a kitchen. The cooks of the kitchen used to like her very much and often used to feed her grain. She liked the place and her life was fine. One day a crow saw the pigeon and saw how it was getting wonderful food from the kitchen. Then one day she made friends with the pigeon, and under the pretext of friendship,she somehow made the pigeon to share the nest with the crow. The pigeon then told her that they could spend time together discussing politics,religion etc but when it came to food both had their own ways. So she suggested the crow to search for her own food. But the crow was impatient and the very reason she had made friends with the pigeon was for the food. The crow wanted meat and all the pigeon got was grains from the kitchen.

It could not wait any longer and ultimately decided that she visit the kitchen directly for the food. Thinking so it stealthily crept down the chimney into the kitchen. She got the smell of a fish being curried on the pan. She got greedy and went ahead and tried to get the fish. But in the process she disturbed a ladle, and created a noise. This alerted the cook who was in the neighbouring room and he caught hold of the crow and killed it.

Moral: Greed Numbs intelligence.

The Ant and the Grasshopper.........From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

2009-12-11T12:32:00.000-08:00

The fable concerns a grasshopper who has spent the warm months singing away while the ant (or ants in some editions) worked to store up food for winter. When winter arrives, the grasshopper finds itself dying of hunger, and upon asking the ant for food is only rebuked for its idleness. The story is used to teach the virtues of hard work and saving, and the perils of improvidence. Some versions of the fable state a moral at the end, along the lines of: "Idleness brings want", "To work today is to eat tomorrow" or "It is best to prepare for the days of necessity"

So very essential in all the days and must remember always

A Beautiful message from George Carlin - How True

This is a master piece. If you have not read it take the time to read it now. If you have read it take time to read it again!
GEORGE CARLIN (His wife recently died...)

Isn't it amazing that George Carlin - comedian of the 70's and 80's - could write something so very eloquent...and so very appropriate.

A Message by George Carlin:

The paradox of our time in history is that we have taller buildings but shorter tempers, wider Freeways , but narrower viewpoints.. We spend more, but have less, we buy more, but enjoy less. We have bigger houses and smaller families, more conveniences, but less time. We have more degrees but less sense, more knowledge, but less judgment, more experts, yet more problems, more medicine, but less wellness.

We drink too much, smoke too much, spend too recklessly, laugh too little, drive too fast, get too angry, stay up too late, get up too tired, read too little, watch TV too much, and pray too seldom.

We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values. We talk too much, love too seldom, and hate too often.

We've learned how to make a living, but not a life. We've added years to life not life to years. We've been all the way to the moon and back, but have trouble crossing the street to meet a new neighbor. We conquered outer space but not inner space. We've done larger things, but not better things.

We've cleaned up the air, but polluted the soul. We've conquered the atom, but not our prejudice. We write more, but learn less. We plan more, but accomplish less. We've learned to rush, but not to wait. We build more computers to hold more information, to produce more copies than ever, but we communicate less and less.

These are the times of fast foods and slow digestion, big men and small character, steep profits and shallow relationships. These are the days of two incomes but more divorce, fancier houses, but broken homes. These are days of quick trips, disposable diapers, throwaway morality, one night stands, overweight bodies, and pills that do everything from cheer, to quiet, to kill. It is a time when there is much in the showroom window and nothing in the stockroom. A time when technology can bring this letter to you, and a time when you can choose either to share this insight, or to just hit delete...

Remember; spend some time with your loved ones, because they are not going to be around forever.

Remember, say a kind word to someone who looks up to you in awe, because that little person soon will grow up and leave your side.

Remember, to give a warm hug to the one next to you, because that is the only treasure you can give with your heart and it doesn't cost a cent.

Remember, to say, 'I love you' to your partner and your loved ones, but most of all mean it. An embrace will mend hurt when it comes from deep inside of you.

Remember to hold hands and cherish the moment for someday that person will not be there again.

Give time to love, give time to speak! And give time to share the precious thoughts in your mind.

AND ALWAYS REMEMBER:

Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.

If you don't send this to other people....Who cares?

George Carlin
