Start Practicing Faith
You become a worrier by practicing worry. You can become free of worry by practicing the opposite and stronger habit of faith. With all the strength and perseverance you can command, start practicing faith
Hope and Accomplishment
When you do nothing, you feel overwhelmed and powerless. But when you get involved, you feel the sense of hope and accomplishment that comes from knowing you are working to make things better.

Stop Thinking about the Past...
Stop thinking about the past, and dont worry too much about whats going to happen in the future. Your presence is a present, so live for today, and appreciate everyone and everything you have. Stop thinking about what you dont have, what you wish you had, who walked out of your life, and whatever else that falls in that category. Think about what you have, who you have in your life, and how fortunate you are.

Only One Heart
We were given: Two hands to hold. Two legs to walk. Two eyes to see. Two ears to listen. But why only one heart? Because the other was given to someone else. For us to find.

Women Wish...
Women wish to be loved not because they are beautiful, or kind hearted, or come from wealth, or graceful, or intelligent, but because they are themselves.

Believe it Can Be Done
Believe it can be done. When you believe something can be done, really believe, your mind will find the ways to do it. Believing a solution paves the way to solution.
We have Known Sadness
We enjoy warmth because we have been cold. We appreciate light because we have been in darkness. By the same token, we can experience joy because we have known sadness.

Life - Game of Forgetting and Remembering !
Most of us tend to replay certain memories over and over in our minds; usually unconsciously.
Now it's up to you, to choose what memories are on your playlist that you can recall at any moment. Take control and create a specific playlist that is inspirational and motivational.
What's on your playlist?

Gives You Courage
Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength; loving someone deeply gives you courage.
Lao Tzu
Lao Tzu
Happy Fathers Day!
He isn't much in the eyes of the world
He'll never make history
No, he isn't much in the eyes of the world
But he is the world to me
My dad, now here is a man
To me he is everything strong
No, he can't do wrong, my dad
My dad, now he understands
When I bring him troubles to share
Oh, he's always there, my dad
When I was small I felt ten feet tall
When I walked by his side
And everyone would say "That's his son"
And my heart would burst with pride
My dad, oh I love him so
And I only hope that some day
My own son will say
"My dad now here is a man"
He'll never make history
No, he isn't much in the eyes of the world
But he is the world to me
My dad, now here is a man
To me he is everything strong
No, he can't do wrong, my dad
My dad, now he understands
When I bring him troubles to share
Oh, he's always there, my dad
When I was small I felt ten feet tall
When I walked by his side
And everyone would say "That's his son"
And my heart would burst with pride
My dad, oh I love him so
And I only hope that some day
My own son will say
"My dad now here is a man"

Self-Respect
Humility leads to strength and not to weakness. It is the highest form of self-respect to admit mistakes and to make amends for them.
Choices We Make in Life
When it comes down to it, it isn’t the major choices we make in life – career, marriage, etc. – that count the most. It is the everyday, minor decisions that make life work for us.

Remember that things happen for a reason and if it was meant to be. It wouldn’t have ended...we should not cry cause it's gone... we should be happy that it happened. Many people touch our lives in different ways. Some come for a while, others stay for a season and show us their magnificent essence for a purpose and then leave...and then there’s the people that stay forever, which ultimately are the ones that count...so smile and cheer up.

Hold Every Person Close
Never take someone for granted. Hold every person close to your heart because you might wake up one day, and realize that you’ve lost a diamond, while you were too busy collecting stones.

People Who Have Come Alive
Don’t ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive, and go do it. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive.
Howard Thurman
Character
Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through experience of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, vision cleared, ambition inspired, and success achieved.

Transform others' Attitudes
Become a true well-wisher who transforms others' attitude with your good wishes.
In your interactions throughout the day, check if your feelings towards someone are negative. Also check if you are expecting someone to change his or her attitude or behavior.
Tell yourself each day, "Just as a powerful bulb when switched on transforms darkness into light in a second, there's so much power in my good wishes that they can transform others' negative attitude into positive in one second."
Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Become the one who is special by seeing only specialities. Throughout the day, among all the people you meet check if you are seeing any negative quality in them. Also check if you are seeing specialities in others or not.
Each day tell yourself, "I am special and I only see the specialities in myself and others." Then practice seeing only the good qualities in others and you will become good too.

A Touch that Never Hurts
Have a heart that never hardens, and a temper that never fires, and a touch that never hurts.

Love Isn't a Decision
Love isn't a decision. It's a feeling. If we could decide who we loved, it would be much simpler, but much less magical.
Constant Kindness
Constant kindness can accomplish much. As the sun makes ice melt, kindness causes misunderstanding, mistrust and hostility to evaporate.

Imperfect Beings
A principle is the expression of perfection, and as imperfect beings like us cannot practice perfection, we devise every moment limits of its compromise in practice.

Journey Through Life
As I go through all kinds of feelings and experiences in my journey through life -- delight, surprise, chagrin, dismay -- I hold this question as a guiding light: "What do I really need right now to be happy?" What I come to over and over again is that only qualities as vast and deep as love, connection and kindness will really make me happy in any sort of enduring way.

Thankful
Be thankful that you woke up alive each morning. Develop a childlike sense of wonder towards life. Focus on the beauty of every living thing. Make the most of each day. Don’t take anything for granted. Don’t sweat the small stuff.
Don't Live in the Past or the Future
Take the time to see the beauty around you. There’s more to life than work. Take time to smell the roses, watch a sunset or sunrise with a loved one, take a walk along the seashore, hike in the woods etc. Learn to live in the present moment and cherish it. Don’t live in the past or the future.

Loving in the Present
The more anger towards the past you carry in your heart,
the less capable you are of loving in the present.

Never too old to chase your dreams!
ENG SUB: TURN ON UR CLOSE CAPTURE (CC) You are never too old to chase your dreams, don't let them go! [Based On a True Story]
Prejudice, Bigotry and Norrow-Mindedness
Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one's lifetime.
