Take Each Day As It Comes

People lose their health to make money;

Then lose their money to restore their health.


By thinking anxiously about the future,

They forget their present such that

They live neither for the present nor the future.


They live as if they will never die,

And they die as if they have never lived.


Take each day as it comes,

 and live each day to the fullest.

Working the possibilities

You don't get what you merely wish for. You get what you live

For and what you work for.



The life you experience does not depend on what happens to

Come your way. The life you experience is based on how you

Choose to live it.



The priorities that matter in your life are not the ones you

Just talk about. Your true priorities, the ones that

Determine which way your life proceeds, are the ones you

Consistently act on.



You have the opportunity right now, today, to bring great

Quantities of richness and fulfillment into your life. Yet

That richness will not come from what you wish for, or what

You talk about, or what you plan to do someday.



That richness will come from what you actually do with the

Time and the energy and the resources you have available to

You. That richness will come from working the possibilities

That are uniquely yours.



Skip right on past the wishing for and talking about and

Planning to stage. Get right to work on your best

Possibilities, and experience the unmatched joy of bringing

Them fully to life.

Love Yourself 100%



There comes a time when you have to stand up and shout:


This is me damn it! 

I look the way I look, think the way I think,

feel the way I feel, love the way I love! 


I am a whole complex package. 

Take me. . . or leave me.


Accept me--or walk away! 

Do not try to make me feel like less of a person,

just because I don't fit your idea of who I should be

and don't try to change me to fit your mold. 


If I need to change, I alone will make that decision.


When you are strong enough to love yourself 100%,

good and bad.. you will be amazed at the opportunities

that life presents you.

WORRY

Is there a magic cut off period when offspring

become accountable for their own

Actions?


Is there a wonderful moment when

Parents can become detached spectators in

the lives of their children and shrug,

"It's their life," and feel nothing?


When I was in my twenties, I stood in a hospital

Corridor waiting for doctors to put a few

Stitches in my son's head. I asked, "When do

You stop worrying?"



The nurse said,

"When they get out of the accident stage."

My Mother just smiled faintly and said nothing.


When I was in my thirties, I sat on a little

Chair in a classroom and heard how one of my

Children talked incessantly, disrupted the class,

And was headed for a career making License plates.


As if to read my mind, a teacher said,

 "Don't worry, they all go through this stage

and then you can sit back, relax and Enjoy them.


" My mother just smiled

Faintly and said nothing.


When I was in my forties, I spent a lifetime

Waiting for the phone to ring, the cars to come

Home, the front door to open.

A friend said, "They're trying to find themselves.

Don't worry, In a few years, you can stop worrying.

They'll be Adults."


My mother just smiled faintly

And said nothing.


By the time I was 50, I was sick & tired of being

Vulnerable. I was still worrying over my Children,

but there was a new wrinkle.

There Was nothing I could do about it.


My Mother just smiled faintly and said nothing.


I Continued to anguish over their failures, be

Tormented by their frustrations and absorbed in

Their disappointments.


My friends said that when my kids got married I

Could stop worrying and lead my own


I wanted to believe that, but I was

Haunted by my mother's warm smile and her

Occasional, "You look pale. Are you all right?


Call me the minute you get home.

Are You depressed about something?"

Can it be that parents are sentenced to a

Life time of worry? Is concern for one another


Handed down like a torch to blaze the trail of

Human frailties and the fears of the Unknown?


Is concern a curse or is it a virtue

that elevates us to the highest form of life?


One of my children became quite irritable

recently, saying to me, "Where were you?

I've been calling for 3 days, and no one answered

I was worried."


I smiled a warm smile.


The torch has been passed.

Make Your Choices Real

 choice is not really a choice, until you act upon it.



If you decide to act on your best beliefs, then,

dont follow through “ you are buying into indecision.



Indecision and procrastination are what we do to

avoid the responsibility of putting our choices into action.

If you find yourself always in a state of indecision,

perhaps you are trying to do too much and need to

break things down into smaller digestible steps.      


Perhaps your decision is not in line with your

values or some important aspect of your life.

You may need to re-evaluate what youre trying to do.



Remember that you will never know if a decision is right

or wrong until its acted upon.

Every important decision involves risk and sometimes trade-offs.

If you have a decision to make, make it today.

And, more importantly, act on it today.

Align your habits

You are making decisions all the time and those decisions

Directly affect the way your life unfolds. Your level of

Success and fulfilment depends on how often and how well

Those decisions line up with your dreams.


Certainly when you're contemplating the big, noticeable

Decisions, you make sure they align with your values and

Purposes. But what about all the little momentary decisions

You're constantly making?


Those seemingly small decisions have great power because

There are so many more of them. And they're decisions you

Can often make without even thinking about them.


Those unthinking decisions are known as habits. A habit is a

Decision you make once that is carried out again and again.


Though each action done by habit may be small, the

Cumulative effect on your life can be enormous. The way to

Move your life in the direction you choose, is to make sure

That all your many habits are working with you rather than

Against you.


Take the time and make the effort to align your habits with

Your goals and dreams. Improving those little habits can

Truly be the biggest decision you make.

You have the ability to change your life

You have the ability to change your life.



You can do anything that you set your mind to.

You are the author of your own life .

You have the ability to change your life.

You have unlimited potential!


You are a living magnet.

You iterally attract the things, people, ideas ,

and circumstances to you that vibrate and resonate at the same energy

frequency as yours.


Your energy field changes constantly, based on your thoughts            

and feelings, and the universe acts like a mirror, sending back a reflection

of the energy that you are projecting.


The stronger and more intense your thoughts and emotions are,

the greater the magnetic pull becomes.


Now, this is not a process that requires any real effort ;

a magnet doesn't ''try'' to attract anything-it simple does ,

and so do you !


You are always in the process of attracting something into your life.


Do you realize that your life at this very moment is the result  of

everything that you have ever thought, done, believed, or felt

up until now ?


You can start right now to consciously and deliberately

attract whatever you desire in this lifetime.



 

Forgive and Feel the Strength

Weakness in another person can be contagious. One very good

Way to catch that weakness for yourself is with resentment.


And the best way to avoid taking on the weakness of others

Is with forgiveness. Forgiveness frees you to be strong and

to look forward.


What others may have said or done or failed to do cannot be

Changed now. What you can do now is to begin moving beyond

The pain with sincere forgiveness.


With forgiveness, you are no longer a victim. With

Forgiveness, you take control of your own destiny.


Forgiveness does not mean that you support or endorse what

Happened. Forgiveness means that you are bigger than what

Happened, and confident enough to move on past it.


Forgive, and stop poisoning your own life with the past

Transgressions of others. Forgive, and feel the strength of

Your own integrity.

Words of Wisdom

"You can get advice from family, friends and strangers,
but the best advice comes from your heart, it never lies --
Trust It.."


The truth is, unless you let go, unless you forgive yourself,
unless you forgive the situation,      
unless you realize that that situation is over,
you cannot move forward.      


In life, you're going to be talked about, lied to, used, and left out.
You just have to decide; who's worth your tears & who's not.


The only time you have the right to judge another is when you are
looking at your own reflection in the internal mirror.


Pain makes you stronger, tears make you braver, heartbreak makes you wiser.
So thank the past for a better future.


Life is a series of events, good and bad.
Learn from the bad. Give thanks for the good.
And share the emotions with those who love
and support you through life's ups and downs.


Our days are happier when we give people a bit of our
heart rather than a piece of our mind.


" To make money we lose our health and then to restore our health we lose our money.
We live as if we are never going to die and we die as if we never lived.."


Expecting too much will only make the heart and soul thirst,
expecting less can surprisingly give you enough of what you need & want.


Honesty leads to temporary pain, but a lie will hurt forever!!

Anna Hazare Joke

Anna Hazare is fighting against corruption and the country is also saying that this government is the most corrupt ever. And the Congress Ministers are all sycophants, projecting Rahul Gandhi as the saviour of the country. This is about a minister speaking to public, telling a story.

A man had 3 sons. He gave them 100 rupees each and asked them to get something that will fill a whole room.

One son bought grass in 100 rupees but couldn't fill the room. Second one bought cotton but the room again remained empty. The 3rd son bought one candle for just 1 rupee and the whole room was full of light.

Then the leader said: Our Shree Rahul Gandhi is also like that son. Ever since he joined politics, out country has been shining with progress and prosperity.

And then Anna Hazare got up and asked '"WHERE ARE THE REMAINING 99 RUPEES?

The Beauty of Surprise

Nothing is more joyous, than a pleasant Surprise
Like a light shower of rain, just after clear skies

Expectations lead to desires, desires lead to suffering
When you let things come to you, you get the best offering
Why chase things that were never made for you,
When there are many lying around, you don't even turn to
Life gives you all, that you ever deserved to acquire
One day you realize, it has taken you a lot higher

So why chase desires, when you can chase your dreams
Let it flow the way it wants, just like rivers and streams

Take everything as a Surprise, and you'll be happier that ever before
Truly satisfied... you'll stop asking for more and more

10 Tips On How To Look Younger

Appearance is very important, it is the first thing you notice when you meet someone. As you grow older the body starts to let you down, but there are a few things that you can do. Some ideas are very simple, while others need a bit of work but they can all help to turn back the clock and make you look younger.

    Standing up straight is one of the best ways to look younger and more confident. Standing straight, with shoulders back and down with your tummy pulled in. At first you will need to practice and check yourself that you are standing up straight but soon it will become second nature. Doing exercises to strengthen your tummy muscles will also help.

    Having enough sleep, at least 7 to 8 hours a night will make you feel healthier and younger. Your body needs sleep so that it can repair your body cells and refresh you mind.

    Smiling makes you look radiant and younger. Smiling also distracts from areas that show your age. A smile just changes your whole face, try standing in front of a mirror and see what smile can do for your face.

    Just because you are older does not necessarily mean that you have to have a short haircut. It all depends on the shape of your face, a short hairstyle can be cut to flatter and frame your face. This can be great to draw attention away from signs of ageing. Though longer hairstyles can be just as flattering as long as you have a good haircut that is shaped and maybe layered. A good hairdresser should be able to advise on the best way to cut your hair, as it does not just depend on the shape of your face but also on the texture and volume of your hair.

    Colouring your hair is also a great way to hide the tale tell grey hairs. It is best to choose a colour that is close to your original colour so that it naturally compliments your facial tones. Otherwise you can have high lights or low lights put into your hair, and these do not require re-doing as frequently as an all over colour.

    Choose the right clothes to compliment your body and hide the areas that you do not like. For example if you have flabby arms you can wear three quarter length sleeves to hide them. Soft colours will help you look younger because your skin tones become greyer as you get older.

    Keep your teeth clean, with brushing and flossing, and with regular visits to the dentist to have your teeth checked. Getting teeth cleaned to prevent plague build up can also save you losing teeth unnecessarily. If your teeth are discoloured, the dentist might suggest whitening them, so that you will be happy to smile and show off your teeth.

    Losing weight can also help you look younger. Make sure that as you lose weight that you tone your body with aerobic and resistance exercises.

    Make-up can also help as long as you do not cake it on. Use a light foundation that does not sink into the wrinkles and emphasis them is better than a heavier one that does. Be careful about which eye shadows to use, cream ones will sink into your wrinkles.

    Look after your skin. Do not clean your face with soap and water but with a proper cleanser so that it dissolves all the make-up on the face and cleanses it properly. Always make sure that you remove your make-up every night as one night leaving it on can age your skin eight days. After cleaning your skin make sure that you moisture it so that it keeps your skin hydrated and younger looking .

Be at Peace

You spend most of your life running after things,

 doing things.

You forget that being comes before doing.


Those who remember this secret make an effort to "be" and

discover that when they stop and observe,

life helps and brings whatever is needed.


Learning to be is learning to be at peace.

It is our most fundamental nature.
