Trust yourself. You know more than you think you do.
The attitude today is the root on which the future grows.
There is only one royal road for the spiritual journey.....Love.
Truth has no fear,
Untruth shivers at every shadow.
Teachers are reservoirs from which, through the process of education, students draw the water of life.
To rectify the world and put it on the proper path,
We have to first rectify ourselves and our conduct.
There will be no temptation for others to shout when you talk to them in whispers.
Think all that you speak,
but do not speak all that you think.
To give happiness to others is a great act of charity.
To taste the sweetness of life, you must have the power to forget the past.

Win as if you were used to it, lose as if you enjoyed it for a change.
Ralph W Emerson
Wise men speak because they have something to say;
Fools because they have to say something.
Waiting is Frustrating, Demoralizing, Agonising, Aggravating, Annoying,
Time consuming and incredibly Expensive. It's also unnecessary.
Whatever you want to do, you have to do something else first.
What I eat today decides my health tomorrow.
What we have is not what we want,
What we want is not what we need,
and What we need is not available.
Whatever you are, be a good one.
Abraham Lincoln
What you eat, becomes your mind.
As is the food, so is your mind.
By the purity of food follows
the purity of inner nature.
What Caterpillar calls the end of the world, the Master calls it Butterfly.
Richard Bach.
Who Dares Wins.

Every
Everybody is attracted by beauty and quality. It is a rare quality to help the ugly and unqualified.
Every charitable act is a stepping stone toward Heaven.
Everyone has potential; you just have to discover it.
Every minute is a challenge, every challenge is an opportunity.
Every opportunity is a goal, every goal is a chance.
One chance can change your life.
Every clarification breeds new questions.
Every problem has a gift for you in its hands.
Richard Bach
Every saint has a past and every sinner has a future.
Every thing is OK in the end, if it's not OK, then it's not the end. Its just the beginning of something more beautiful.

Homer Simpson
Nobody grows old merely by living a number of years. We grow old by deserting our ideals.
No one can make us feel inferior without our consent.
No matter how great your words may be, you will be judged by your actions.
No one tortures you except your own nature. Make your nature sweet and loveable; then win the love of all.
No great man ever minds stops.
No life is totally wasted, one can always be a bad example.
No one in this world is rich enough to buy his own childhood & his youth back. ONLY Friends help recreate those moments from time to time, at no cost.
"No one will understand you in life Perfectly,
Just give credit to them who have tried to do it.
Nothing is just coincidence, every tree in life's garden bears significance.
Now that it's all over, what did you really do yesterday that's worth mentioning.

Hard work has a future payoff. Laziness pays off now.
Have faith in yourself. When you have no faith in the wave, how can you get faith in the ocean?
Have no desires to place before God, whatever He does with you, however He treats you, is the gift that He likes best, to give you!
He who knows and knows not that he knows is sleeping - Wake him up.
He who knows not and knows that he knows not is ignorant - Teach him.
He who knows and knows what he knows is a leader - Follow him.
He who knows not and knows not that he knows not is a fool - Shun him.
He who is afraid to make mistakes is afraid to succeed.
Holding on to anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intent of throwing it at someone else; you are the one who gets burned.
Gautama Buddha
Hope is the comfort of imperfect condition.
How aware you are is how alive you are.
However high a bird may soar, it has sooner or later to perch on a tree top, to enjoy quiet.

You have to take the stairs.
The greatest pleasure in life is doing what people say you cannot do.
The most important things in life aren't things.
The most wasted day of all is that during which we have not laughed.
The greatest discovery of all time is that a person can change his future by merely changing his attitude.
The Lord will be watching with a thousand eyes the least activity of man to discover any slight trace of selfless love sweeting it.
The grace of God is like insurance. It will help you in your time of need without any limit.
The service of man is the only means by which you can serve God.
The present is a product of the past,
but it is also a seed for the future.

Intelligence is the ability to avoid doing work, yet getting the work done.
If we don't change, we don't grow. If we don't grow, we aren't really living.
Gail Sheehy
If we realise that wars are born in the minds of men, we would make greater efforts for peace of mind.
If I wish to advocate peace, do I have to shout and scream.
If you have too much time on your hands then everything becomes heavy to handle.
If you ALWAYS do your best, you will be free from regrets.

Call someone you know today and tell them what you appreciate about them.
Challenges in life come in three broad categories: easy, difficult and impossible.
Those who take on only the easy have a safe and boring life.
Those who take on the difficult have a tough but satisfying life.
Those who take on the impossible are remembered.
Champions aren't made in gyms. Champions are made from something they have deep inside them; a dream, a desire, a vision. The will must be stronger than the skill.
Changing the face can change nothing but facing the change can change everything.
Commit your life, your plans, your hopes, your dreams, and your fears to God through prayer every day.
In return you will have peace in your life.
Communication from the heart is a precious expression of love.

Learn to be happy alone. If we do not enjoy our own company, why inflict it on others.
Learn perfectly all that you learn, and thereafter keep your conduct worthy of that learning.
Life is something to do when you can't sleep.
Life is unsure, always eat your dessert first.
Life is difficult. It is a great truth because once we truly see this truth, we transcend it. Once we truly know that life is difficult - once we truly understand and accept it - then life is no longer difficult.
M.Scott Peck
Look at the clock when you are sitting free & simply.
But never look at the clock when you are working.

It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.
Harry S. Truman
It is not for us to set the world right, it is for us to set ourselves right and through our example let GOD influence those around us.
In life, one gets what one deserves and not what one desires and HE knows what one deserves.
It is easier to get permission than forgiveness.
If you realise you were wrong, have the courage to admit it.
If you hate a person, you hate something in him that is part of yourself. What is not part of ourselves doesn't disturb us.
It is an equal failing to trust everybody, and to trust nobody.
It's not important to go to heaven after we leave the world. It's important to create heaven before we leave the world.
It's not pretty being easy.
It is easy when we are in prosperity to give advice to the affected.

Will Rogers
Let your light shine. Shine within you so that it can shine on someone else. Let your light shine.
Oprah Winfrey
Life without love is death.
Let us fear God & we shall cease to fear men.
Life is a series of problems. Either you are in one now, you're just coming out of one or you're getting ready to go into another one.
Live for a CAUSE not APPLAUSE
Live to EXPRESS not IMPRESS.
Life can only be understood backwards;
but it must be lived forward.
Learning is a treasure that follows its owner everywhere.
Learning sleeps and snores in libraries, but wisdom is everywhere, wide awake, on tip toe.
Life consists not in holding good cards but in playing those you hold well.

People often say that motivation doesn't last. Well, neither does bathing- that's why we recommend it daily.
Plan out your work,
and work out your plans.
Procrastination is the art of keeping up with yesterday.
Prejudices are what fools use for reason.
PAIN comes and says "You don't like me. So don't give me to anyone."
PLEASURE comes and says: "You like me. So do others. Therefore give as much as possible to as many as possible."
Pleasure is an interval between two sorrows.
Practice Silence: For the Voice of God can be heard in the region of your heart only when the tongue is stilled and storm is stilled, and the waves are calm.
Problems in the world will increase; therefore, I should increase my capacity for dealing with problems.

Happiness consists not in having much, but in being content with little.
Happiness is neither virtue nor pleasure, but simply growth, as we are happiest when we are growing.
Happiness is nothing more than good health and a bad memory.
Albert Schweitzer
Happiness is not a goal, it is a by product.
Happiness is not the absence of problems, but the ability to deal with them.
Happiness is essentially a state of going somewhere, whole heartedly, one-directionally, without regret or reservation.
Happiness is a perfume you cannot pour on others without getting a few drops on yourself.
Emerson.

it cannot be partial in adversity and whole in prosperity.
Reform the body, construct the mind, regulate the way of living, then, the country will become automatically strong & prosperous.

Waiting is
Frustrating
Demoralizing
Agonizing
Aggravating
Annoying
Time consuming
And incredibly
Expensive
IT'S ALSO UNNECESSARY.
We are made wise not by the recollection of the past, but by the responsibility for our future.
We are responsible for what we are, and whatever we wish ourselves to be, we have the power to make ourselves. If what we are now has been the result of our own past actions, it certainly follows that whatever we wish to be in future can be produced by our present actions; so we have to know how to act.
Swami Vivekananda
We are shaped & fashioned by what we love.
We may often give without love, but we can never love without giving.
We can discover our joy in the precision and perfection of the work that we turn out.
We confess our little faults to persuade people that we have no large ones.
Francois de La Rochefoucauld
Weapons by themselves are not dangerous, it is anger within man that is harmful.
What God gives is never exhausted. What man gives never lasts.
Where there is faith, there is love,
Where there is love, there is peace,
Where there is peace, there is God,
and where there is God, there is BLISS.

Any idiot can face a crisis - it's day to day living that wears you out.
A merry heart doeth good like a medicine.
A poem is a picture with words.
Artificial intelligence is no match for natural stupidity.
Are you upset if others point out your faults? They are helping you to improve yourself.
Adversity introduces a man to himself.
A sound mind ensures a sound body.
A sound body ensures a sound mind.
A man's well-being depends upon his degree of contentment.

"Don't ask for a lighter load, but pray god for a stronger back"
Dream is not what you see in sleep, dream is the thing which does not let you sleep.
Death is not the greatest loss in life. The greatest loss is what dies inside us while we live.
Do not imagine your sincerity in work, but work sincerely with your imagination.
Don't let people drive you crazy when you know its in walking distance.
Do not crave for recognition & respect from others.
Crave rather for winning grace from the Lord.
Do Good. See Good. Be Good.
This is the way to God.
Don't go around saying the world owes you a living. The world owes you nothing. It was here first.
Discouragement and failure are two of the surest stepping stones to success.
Don't sweat the petty things and don't pet the sweaty things.
Dream is not what you see in sleep, dream is the thing which does not let you sleep.
Death is not the greatest loss in life. The greatest loss is what dies inside us while we live.

5 things that hold you back in life
If you recognize even one of these things in your own life you need to make a change before it is too late. And remember, we all have the power to make a change, even if it is the hardest thing in the world to do.
1. Fear
Fear is the number one thing that will hold you back in life. And fear comes in primarily two forms:
* fear of failure; and
* fear of success
People who have a lot of fear never end up achieving their goals in life because they are too afraid of what they might achieve or have to go through trying to bring about those achievements.
2. Attachment
The next thing that will hold you back is attachment. This attachment comes in many forms and it is extremely powerful as it is something that humans do very well. The downside, however, is that nothing good ever comes from attachment. It always causes suffering.
3. Arrogance
Some People are extremely arrogant. They think they have all the answers about life and business and religion. The problem is they are all really unhappy. It is strongly believed that if they just take a few minutes to get out of their own way they could begin to discover a lot more in life.
Never assume that you have all the answers. Always ask questions and keep a sense of curiosity. Even the most learned people like Albert Einstein and the Dalai Lama keep a sense of humility because they realize that there is still so much to be learned and discovered.
4. Dogma
Dogma is a very dangerous thing. It is where you become so blinded to a way of thinking that you are closed off to all other possibilities. It is where you accept something as fact without taking the time to really establish whether or not it accurate. And, like all things here today, dogma is holding you back in a big way. Dogma, especially religious dogma, stops you from finding the real “juice” of the subject. When you are dogmatic about your religion you lose touch of the essence as you are so caught up in defending your own position, even to yourself. Religion, in its truest sense, is supposed to make you more open and spacious, not less. Avoid dogma if you want to grow internally.
5. Money
The quest to earn more money holds you back as much as anything does. The journey to be financially free has ruined more people’s chance at happiness than anything else. Don’t let money hold you back in life. If you find that you are putting work ahead of family, spirituality or other more genuine pursuits in life then you need to make a change. It will be a source of regret in the future.
Most of the time it is your own negative emotions that hold you back in life. The opportunities for happiness and success are out there, you just need to make sure you are willing and able to get them.

Oscar Wilde
Spiritual hunger is the same in all - the food to satisfy their hunger may vary.
Swami Satchidananda
Sometimes being a friend means mastering the art of timing. There is a time for silence. A time to let go....And a time to prepare to pick up the pieces when it's all over.
Gloria Naylor
Sometimes the majority only means that all the fools are on the same side.
Sometimes you build walls not to keep people out, but to see who cares enough to break them down.
Strength does not come from physical capacity. It comes from an indomitable will.
Sharing a lovely relationship not only depends on the spoken words,
but it also depends on understanding the unspoken words.
Solve your simple MISTAKES early before it leads to BIG problems. Because we always SLIP from small STONES and not from MOUNTAINS.
Sometimes we struggle through a tasteless coffee till the last sip.
We find sugar lying at the bottom. THAT'S LIFE.
Sweetened but not stirred well........

Weakness of attitude becomes weakness of character.
Work isn't to make money, you work to justify life.
Who we are never changes.
Who we think we are does.
When ability exceeds ambition, or ambition exceeds ability, the likelihood of success is limited.
We can't all be heroes, because somebody has to sit on the curb and clap as they go by.
We know nothing of tomorrow, our business is to be good and happy today.
When you have the ability to listen to almost anything without losing your temper or self confidence.... you are educated.
We have an absolute right to mind our own business.
Worry is like a rocking chair, which keeps you busy but it leads you no where.

Attitude
One day a father of a very wealthy family took his son on a trip to the country with the firm purpose of showing his son how poor people live. They spent a couple
of days and nights on the farm of what would be considered a very poor family.
On their return from their trip, the father asked his son, "How was the trip?" "It was great, Dad."
Did you see how poor people live?" the father asked. "Oh Yeah" said the son. "So what did you learn from the trip?" asked the father.
The son answered, "I saw that we have one dog and they had four.
We have a pool that reaches to the middle of our garden and they have a creek that has no end.
We have imported lanterns in our garden and they have the stars at
night.
Our patio reaches to the front yard and they have the whole horizon.
We have a small piece of land to live on and they have fields that go beyond our sight.
We have servants who serve us, but they serve others.
We buy our food, but they grow theirs.
We have walls around our property to protect us - they have friends to protect them.
With this the boy's father was speechless.
Then his son added, "Thanks, dad, for showing me how poor we are."
Too many times we forget what we have and concentrate on what we don't have.
It is all based on one's ATTITUDE. And remember: It is our attitude and not
aptitude that determines our altitude in life
of days and nights on the farm of what would be considered a very poor family.
On their return from their trip, the father asked his son, "How was the trip?" "It was great, Dad."

It is all based on one's ATTITUDE. And remember: It is our attitude and not
aptitude that determines our altitude in life

True luck consists not in holding the best of the cards at the table: luckiest is he who knows just when to rise and go home.
John Hay
The problem with beauty is that it's like being born rich and getting poorer.
Joan Collins
The advantage of a bad memory is that one enjoys several times the same good things for the first time.
Friedrich Nietzsche
There is more stupidity than hydrogen in the universe, and it has longer shelf life.
Frank Zappa
The achievements of an organization are the results of the combined effort of each individual.
"None of us is as smart as all of us. "
Turn the key in one direction to lock, and the other direction to unlock.
The young know the rules, the old know the exceptions.
The best way to predict the future is to invent it.
The only reason people get lost in thought is because it's unfamiliar territory.
To be trusted is a greater compliment than being loved.

I have Learn't
I've learned that, the best gift you can give an aged parent is to spend time with them.
I've learned that, no matter what happens, how bad it seems today, life does go on, and it will be better tomorrow.
I've learned that making a 'living' is not
the same thing as making a 'life..'
I've learned that whenever I decide
something with an open heart, I usually make
the right decision.
I've learned that I still have a lot to
learn.
I've learned that life sometimes gives you a second chance.
In three words I can sum up everything I've learn't about life; it goes on.

The Wooden Bowl
I guarantee you will remember the tale of the Wooden Bowl tomorrow, a week from now,
a month from now, A year from now.
A frail old man went to live with his son, daughter-in-law, and grandson.
The old man's hands trembled, his eyesight was blurred, and his step faltered.
The family ate together at the table. But the elderly grandfather's shaky hands and
Failing sight made eating difficult. Peas rolled off his spoon onto the floor.
When he grasped the glass, milk spilled on the tablecloth.
The son and daughter-in-law became irritated with the mess.
'We must do something about father,' said the son.
'I've had enough of his spilled milk, noisy eating, and food on the floor.'
said the daughter-in-law.
So the husband and wife set a small table in the corner.
There, Grandfather ate alone while the rest of the family enjoyed dinner.
Since Grandfather had broken a dish or two, his food was served in a wooden bowl.
When the family glanced in Grandfather's direction, sometimes he had a tear in his eye as he sat alone.
Still, the only words the couple had for him were sharp admonitions when he dropped a fork or spilled food.
The four-year-old watched it all in silence.
One evening before supper, the father noticed his son playing with wood scraps on the floor.
He asked the child sweetly, 'What are you making?'
Just as sweetly, the boy responded, 'Oh, I am making a little bowl for you and
Mama to eat your food in when I grow up.
' The four-year-old smiled and went back to work.
The words so struck the parents so that they were speechless. Then tears started to stream down their cheeks. Though no word was spoken, both knew what must be done.
That evening the husband took Grandfather's hand and gently led him back to the family table.
For the remainder of his days he ate every meal with the family. And for some reason, Neither husband nor wife seemed to care any longer when a fork was dropped, milk spilled, or the tablecloth soiled.
