Very little is needed to make a happy life. It is all within yourself, in
your way of thinking. --Marcus Aurelius

Your Value Never Changes...

A popular speaker started off his lecture by holding up a $20 bill. In the room teeming with people, he asked. "Who would like this $20 bill?" Hands started going up. He said, "I am going to give this $20 to one of you - but first, let me do this."

He proceeded to crumple the 20 dollar note up. He then asked. "Now who wants it?" Still the hands were up in the air.

"Well," he continued, "what if I do this?" He dropped it on the floor and started to grind it into the floor with his shoe. He picked it up, now crumpled and dirty. "Now, who still wants it?" Still the hands went into the air.

"My friends, you have all learned a very valuable lesson. No matter what I did to the money, you still wanted it because it did not decrease in value. It was still worth $20. Many times in our lives, we are dropped, crumpled, and ground into the dirt by the decisions we make and the circumstances that come our way. We feel as though we are worthless; but no matter what happened or what will happen, you will never lose your value.

Dirty or clean, crumpled or finely creased, you are still priceless to those who love you. The worth of our lives comes, not in what we do or who we know, but by...Who We Are.

This is to remind us that we are special, unique and have value that no one else has... and that we should never ever forget this.

Here's mine, my work.. The idea just came out of a bloom.. PM me your critics, I wish to hear them..

Fantasizing memories, the recollection,
Beyond the borders of existence,
Pleasant yet indulgance,
Yet,
Why is it so painful at times?

I was once in a dream,
Filled with desiderate contingency,
When reality couldn't be determined,
My alarm clock starts to scream,
At the very moment, it was fleeting,
Between awake and asleep,
I gave a great tap on my clock,
And here I am,
Back to the reality...
Filled with insatiate impassioned
Truly it is,
Unacceptance to the reality.

Gratefulness is the key to a happy life that we hold in our hands, because if we are not grateful, then no matter how much we have we will not be happy -- because we will always want to have something else or something more.

These are some lovely thoughts I received from an email.

~Don't compare yourself with anyone in this world.
If you compare, you are insulting yourself.

~No one will manufacture a lock without a key.
Similarly, God won't give problems without solutions.

~Life laughs at you when you are unhappy....
Life smiles at you when you are happy...
Life salutes you when you make others happy...

~Easy is to judge the mistakes of others.
Difficult is to recognize our own mistakes.
It is easier to protect your own feet with slippers
than to cover the earth with carpets.

~If a problem can be solved, no need to worry about it.
If a problem cannot be solved, what is the use of worrying?

~If you miss an opportunity, don't fill the eyes with tears.
It will hide another better opportunity in front of you.

~Mistakes are painful when they happen.
But year's later collection of mistakes is called experience, which leads to success.

~Be bold when you lose and be calm when you win.
Heated gold becomes ornament, beaten copper becomes wires, depleted stones becomes statue.
So, the more pain you get in life you become more valuable.

~No one can go back and change a bad beginning.
But anyone can start now and create a successful ending.

~"Changing the Face" can change nothing.
But "Facing the Change" can change everything.
Don't complain about others; change yourself if you want peace.

Since no one post Michael Jackson quotes before, let me post a few

“If you enter this world knowing you are loved and you leave this world knowing the same, then everything that happens in between can be dealt with.”

“In a world filled with hate, we must still dare to hope. In a world filled with anger, we must still dare to comfort. In a world filled with despair, we must still dare to dream. And in a world filled with distrust, we must still dare to believe.”

“The greatest education in the world is watching the masters at work.”

“And my goal in life is to give to the world what I was lucky to receive: the ecstasy of divine union through my music and my dance.”

RIP MJ!!

INDECISION

n.

The chief element of success; "for whereas," saith Sir Thomas Brewbold, "there is but one way to do nothing and divers way to do something, whereof, to a surety, only one is the right way, it followeth that he who from indecision standeth still hath not so many chances of going astray as he who pusheth forwards" -- a most clear and satisfactory exposition on the matter.

"Your prompt decision to attack," said Genera Grant on a certain occasion to General Gordon Granger, "was admirable; you had but five minutes to make up your mind in."

"Yes, sir," answered the victorious subordinate, "it is a great thing to be know exactly what to do in an emergency. When in doubt whether to attack or retreat I never hesitate a moment -- I toss us a copper."

"Do you mean to say that's what you did this time?" "Yes, General; but for Heaven's sake don't reprimand me: I disobeyed the coin."

LIFE...


I have learned that the best time to know yourself is when you're faced with a great trial... when you choose to stand tall, keep going and take your trial as just a situation and nothing more.

I have learned that the most painful thing that can happen to you is to be betrayed by someone you trusted most... yet the sweetest feeling is to know that you can accept it, can forgive it and can live through it. Even more so... to keep hoping and start working at your next steps as if nothing painful really happened.

I have learned that no one else is capable or responsible of making me happy... and that I have to help myself by planning how to achieve my dreams and work at it one day at a time and not lose my vision.

I have learned that "NO" may just be the right answer... that the world will not crumble if I say "No" to someone's wish that will take the time that I do not have or resources that I can not give. Learning the power to say, "No" or "Not today," or "Sorry, I can't, I am busy," gives me the chance to focus on what really matters to me and avoid people who are unnecessarily dependent on me.

What do you expect. Pain is really, and actually a gift...that nobody wants.

The best remedy for those who are afraid, lonely or unhappy
is to go outside, somewhere where they can be quiet,
alone with the heavens, nature and God.

Because only then does one feel that all is as it should be
and that God wishes to see people happy,
amidst the simple beauty of nature.

I firmly believe that nature brings solace in all troubles.

~ Anne Frank ~
