Start Your Journey

The New Year is a beautiful bouquet of newer unfolding opportunities to fulfill unfinished commitments with renewed vigor of heart and to reach new milestones of a promising career and enriching journey. Take the first step, start your journey now.  

The Colors Of Life

Life is a painting and you are the artist, you draw the lines and color it with the colors of life and make it your masterpiece.

Communication

The key to communication begins with respect and dignity.

Afraid Of Change

The smallest thing can change your life in the blink of an eye. Something happens by chance when you least expect it. It sets you on a course never planned, into a place where you never imagined. Don’t be afraid of change, because one never knows where it will lead them.

Your Amazing-Ness

Honor your amazing-ness by honoring YOU. The more you honor who you are, the more amazing you will become.

Sorry

If the word Sorry is used repeatedly it could be considered a lie.

How You Treat Yourself

You can say you know your worth, but how you treat yourself and how you let others treat you tells the truth about what you think you’re worth.

A Light That Shows You A . . .

Morning is like a light that shows you path to the new era and when this era goes greatly then you say that your day was nice. So happy new era, feel new and be new.

Doesn't Mean You're A Bad Person

Never identify yourself with your actions. Having done ‘bad things’ doesn't mean you’re a bad person. You’ll be just someone who has made an unwise decision.

Live It

Life does not come with a book of instructions. It just happens. So live it, accept it and learn from it.

Used And Torn Down

People are created to love and become their best, not to be used and torn down.

Suck The Happiness Out Of You

Relationships should help you, not hurt you. Surround yourself with people who reflect the person you want to be. Choose friends who you are proud to know, people you admire, who love and respect you. People who make your day a little brighter simply by being in it and likewise you can do the same for others. Life is too short to spend time with people who suck the happiness out of you.

Impact Someone's Life

You have the ability to impact someone’s life with every step you take or with every word you say.

Ignore Your Head

Leave the crowd, stand apart, ignore your head and follow your heart.

Be Challenged Daily

Your character can be challenged daily but it’s the strength of your integrity that maintains your moral principles.

Positive Energy

Wake up every day with positive energy and share it with people around you. Be grateful to those that give you support at the time of needs.

The Most Exciting Relationship

The most exciting, challenging, and significant relationship you can have, is the one you have with yourself.

Commit To A Bad Decision

Before you commit to a bad decision, write your future self a letter explaining why you are making that choice.

Drama

Drama doesn't just walk into your life out of nowhere; you create it, invite it, or associate with people that bring it.

Hard Work And Determination

Strength doesn't just come from physical activities; it comes from all the efforts of hard work and determination.

Happy Holidays

As the Holiday Season is upon us, we find ourselves reflecting on the past year and on those who have helped to shape our life in a most significant way. I value our friendship and look forward to greats things in the year to come. I wish you a very happy Holiday Season and a New Year filled with peace and prosperity.

The Strength Of Your Integrity

Your character can be challenged daily but it’s the strength of your integrity that maintains your moral standards.

A Broken Spirit

It is senseless to be physically fit and have a broken spirit. Face yourself and get healthy from the inside out.

Finding Love Isn't Worth it

Plan your relationship around your life, not your life around your relationship. Finding love isn't worth it, if you have to lose yourself in the process.

Survive And Overcome

No matter the hardships we face, we will still withstand them, as it is our nature to survive and overcome the obstacles.

Making Progress

Life is all about making progress it is never about perfection.

Sharing Holiday Cheer

Sharing holiday cheer, singing birthday to the celebrants and serving lunch to Seniors, with some friends.

The Grip Of Frustration

When you're in the grip of frustration, love can seem pretty much out of the question. Care is going to be a stretch. But appreciation is easy—even if it starts out kind of snide like, "I appreciate the fact I haven't fallen flat on my face ... yet." After a couple of stabs at it, you're going to stumble across one that sincerely touches you. Maybe it's your friends, your partner, your loved ones. One strong dose of appreciation can turn your perceptions around 180 degrees.

You Need To Keep Pushing

The moment when you want to quit is the moment when you need to keep pushing. These were the words told to me when I wanted to quit four years ago. Since that time I’ve never looked back.

– Kaoru Shinmon

Take Moments In Life For Granted

Happiness is not found at the end of the road, it is experienced along the way. So don’t take the moments in life for granted, because then you’ll see you’ll have reason to be happy along the way.

Anyone Can Quit

Life is like a building block in which you want to make it to the top but in life those blocks sometimes fall. Don’t give up or become discouraged. All you need to do is start over and build from the bottom up until you reach the top. Anyone can quit, but you’re not anyone. You’re YOU.

The Pain That Defines You

You may have been through more than others, but it’s how you react to the pain that defines you.

Darkest Of Hours

In the deepest, darkest of hours is often when things become the brightest. My words of advice to you is don’t give up yet.

Presenting The Lesson

Experience is a cruel teacher. It gives a test before presenting the lesson.

Create The Life You Want

Everyday is like a blank canvas. You can paint it anyway you want it. You can draw black clouds, you can make the sunshine, you can color in a blue sky or simply use black and white. The choice is yours to create the life you want.

Spoken Openly

The best thoughts are often those, which are spoken openly without any premeditated thoughts.

The Root of All Headaches

Expectations are the root of all headaches.

The Worse Thing

Hiding your emotions is the worse thing you can do. Expressing them to the right person at the right time can be empowering.

Open Mindedness

The beauty of open mindedness is it adds another eye to make life’s picture look clearer, brighter and much more splendid.

The Habit Of Judging Yourself

Don’t be too tough on yourself with the habit of judging yourself and others. The negative things we say about our lives and ourselves only erase all the positive vibrations by replacing it with the negatives.

The Puzzle Pieces

Sometimes in life, the puzzle pieces to understanding the meaning of your place of purpose is not always defined in one single finding. You must have the patience to locate each piece according to the decisions you make along with the events you experience. The pieces will eventually be revealed, as the picture of your life will become more clear as you fit the right puzzled images together, one-by-one; creating your reality before it arrives in front of you. When it does, you will gain clarity and be made aware of your purpose.

A Reflection Of Your Character

Be careful in what you say or do because anything you say or do because it will be a reflection of your character.

Dreams Slip Away

Be happy for all that you have in life. Don’t waste it dwelling on things you don’t have and don’t live with regrets. Learn to love, trust and be happy and don’t let your dreams slip away so easily.

The Negative Obstacles

It takes a burning desire to achieve your dreams and accomplish your missionary goals in life. The desire for gain must always outwit the fear of loss. Turn up the flame to your inner fire and make a firm decision that you will reign over the negative obstacles that look to deter your focus. Leave no stone unturned and be the success maker of your establishments.

The Repetition of Failure

Observation is learning and the failure to observe will always cause the repetition of failure.

Keep On Looking

Keep on looking for the brighter side of life. Keep on looking for the goals in life. Keep on searching for the treasure of your life. Keep on moving forward positively.

Your Silence

Speak only when you feel your words are better than your silence.

A True Leader

A true leader has the confidence to stand alone, the courage to make tough decisions, and the compassion to listen to the needs of others. He does not set out to be a leader, but becomes one by the quality of actions and the integrity of his intelligence.

Not Worth The Truth

Sometimes people lie because they know the truth will hurt you. What they fail to get is, it hurts more to know you’re not worth the truth.

Fake It Until You Make It

If you say something that is pleasant and upbeat, but you do so with a frown on your face and scorn in your voice, then the content of your message won’t matter nearly as much as the attitude you’re projecting. You will undoubtedly be read incorrectly. That’s why it’s so important right now to maintain a pleasant and positive attitude as you deliver a special message – even if you are insecure or worried or unsure of what you have to say. You’ve heard the saying "fake it until you make it," and that certainly applies for you right now.

Locked Inside Forever

Some words are locked inside forever. They breathe, they suffer pain, they starve but still live on.

Do It, For Those Who Can't

Run, because you can. Jump, because you can. Dance, because you can. Sing, because you can. Love, because you can. Smile, because you can. Be happy, because you can. Do it, for those who can’t.

To All Mankind

I send out to all mankind and to those fighting in wars and living in poverty, all my positive light energy and love energy to change their lives for the better. Blessing to each and every one of you.

- Kaoru Shinmon

You Want To Die

I know how it feels to have your world fall apart. How pain makes you want to die. How it hurts to smile. And how it hurts to try to fit in, but just can’t. So you decide to hurt yourself on the outside to kill thing on the inside. But that’s not the way to deal with your problems. Open your heart and ask for help.

Live!

Experience life. Don’t be a spectator, be a participant. Live!

Faith

Faith is like walking through a door you’ve never seen before. You don’t know what’s on the other side until you walk through. People can tell you, but you won’t get it. You just have to go and see yourself.

Developing The Strength You Need

The struggle you are in today is developing the strength you need for tomorrow. So don’t give up!

An Encouraging Word

Sometimes all a person needs to get them through a tough time is assurance that someone has hope in them. An encouraging word can work wonders.

Hide Who You Are

Always be YOU. Never hide who you are, the only shame is to have shame. Always stand up for what you believe in. Always question what other people tell you and find out the truth for yourself. Never regret the past by living each moment to the fullest. There’s a reason for everything, even if you don’t know the reason why. The only way you can get respect from others is when we respect them you respect yourself. And most importantly, do your own thinking and never apologize for being You!

You Value Others

How you value yourself is a reflection of how you value others.

For Every . . .

For every beauty there is an eye somewhere to see it. For every truth there is an ear somewhere to hear it. For every love there is a heart somewhere to receive it.

Speak Negatively

It is easy to speak negatively when we do not like something about someone. We first react to them in our mind and so tend to get angry. Our words and behavior would then naturally be negative and insulting too. This further widens the gap and breaks the relationship. When someone does something undesired, we first need to try and understand their behavior. Every person has a reason to behave the way they do. If we can’t understand at that time, we at least need to give it time. The more we react to the other person and their behavior, the greater the distance that is created. So we need to begin the first step of positivity by recognizing some positivity in them.

Complain About Life

Before you complain about life think of someone who died too early on this earth.

Ability And Capability

Everyone has the ability and capability of reaching their goal if they put their mind and energy into it. All you need to do is focus, be determined, and remain positive.

Inspire Others

My morale comes from a good heart and great intention to inspire others.

Life Gets To Hard

Sometimes the pain is too strong to bare and life gets too hard to care. You feel lost and alone and all you want to do is die. Each passing second is a waste of time. What does it matter if you are here or not, no one cares. This is where the problem lies. You see this is the perception you’ve created in your mind and it’s not the reality. Open your heart and reach out, because there’s someone out there who cares and you matter to them.

The Beauty of A Woman

The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman is seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides. True beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. – Audrey Hepburn

Punishment Is Not So Painful

When you know what you have done wrong, punishment is not so painful because it feels deserved and serves to improve you. More often, though, we don’t properly connect the action with the consequence, and all hope of improvement is lost.

Reveal Insecurities

It takes more courage to reveal insecurities than to hide them, more strength to relate to people than to dominate them, more ‘manhood’ to abide by thought-out principles rather than blind reflex. Toughness is in the soul and spirit, not in the muscles and an immature mind.

Until You Know Better

Do your best until you know better. Then when you know better, do better.

Excuses Are Only For Those People . . .

One who has heart to do something seeks solutions. One who doesn’t have the heart to do something seeks excuses. Excuses are only for those people who are unwilling to find a solution.

You Make It Hard To Find Yourself

Life has so much in store for everyone by the way of gifts and blessings, but if you make it hard to find yourself because you’re busy pretending to be someone else, then you will never be surprised that you missed out.

Spread Goodness Wherever You Go

Every time I look at the sunrise, my eyes see a miracle and I realize I’m so blessed to be alive. For this gift I have been given I vow to be more loving and caring toward people and spread goodness wherever I go.

– Kaoru Shinmon

Wait For Another Day

Everyday you wait for another day because you say I’ll start tomorrow but you spend it like you did the day before . . . wasting it waiting for another day.

Touch Your Heart

Some will touch your heart; some will touch your soul. If you are ever fortunate enough to have someone that touches both.

Happiness As A Destination

I feel like people get lost when they think of happiness as a destination. We’re always thinking that someday we’ll be happy. You know, we’ll get that car or that job or that person in our life that fixes everything. But happiness is a mood and a condition; it’s not a destination. It’s like being tired or hungry; its not permanent, it comes and it goes, and that’s okay. And I feel if people thought of it that way, they’d find happiness a lot more often.

I Fall In Love

I fall in love with people’s passion. The way their eyes light up when they talk about the things they love and the way they fill with light.

No Matter How Much

No matter how much you do for someone, they will only be good to you according to their frame of mind.

You Will Reach A Point

One day you will reach a point in your life where you feel it is no longer necessary to try and impress anyone. If they like you the way you are good, and if they don’t, it’s their loss.

People Will Bring You Down

No matter what you do, you’re always going to find people that will want to bring you down. Brush off the negative remarks and hold on tight to your positive attitude.

Forget You Are Special

Don’t Forget You Are Special

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 has 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. You are special. Don’t ever forget it.

Dealing With Life

What’s done is done, what’s gone is gone. One of life’s lessons is always moving on. Getting over a first love, dealing with heartbreaks, dealing with death and dealing with life. It’s okay to look back and think of fond memories, but keep moving forward and you will live your life happily!

A Friend Needs To Hear

Sometimes a friend needs to hear these words: When you cry, my heart drops. When you smile, my heart stops. I am here to stay, no matter what you say.

The Person Your Entitled To Be With

When it comes to meeting the person that your entitled to be with. It takes time to actually find that person. Patience is the number one key because you’ll get to know for sure there worth waking up to and falling asleep with everyday and night. Also taking things slowly makes each other curious in wanting to one another. Rushing things will most likely lead to a short relationship because the thrill of getting to know that other person will go quickly. In a flash you’ll be right back to where you started on your search to finding your soul mate. So go with the flow and take things slow if you want to make a relationship last.

Colors Are Beautiful

All colors are beautiful.

Be Your Best Friend

Say Something Nice To You. Do it in whatever form you think it’s appropriate: send yourself emails, write in your calendar or leave yourself nice post-its on the desk. With something nice just for you. Learn to be your best friend and love yourself unconditionally.

The Truth About You

When you feel weak, the truth about you is you are stronger than you think. Remember the times when you had to lift yourself back up, the battles you have fought, and the struggles you have endured to be here today. When you allow the truth to move from your head to your heart then the enemy of your soul doesn’t stand a chance –– not one single chance. Whenever you are ready, you can reclaim what has been taken. Listen to the truth. Take it in. Feel it. And then believe the beautiful truth about you.

Family Is Defined By . . .

Family is not defined by the blood in your veins, but by those that are there for you when you need them the most.

Hearts Are Broken

Words and hearts are the two things that should be handled with care because if words are spoken and hearts are broken, they are the hardest things to repair.

Can People Trust You

Love yourself so other people can love you, believe in yourself so other people can believe in you, trust yourself so other people can trust you and be no thing but yourself.

Desiring What You Don't Have

Don’t spoil what you have by desiring what you don’t have because what you have now is one of the many things you once desired.

One

We live under the same sky, same stars and same sun, yet we cannot live as One. It is so tragic we can’t recognize each human being as our brother and sister, and have to put labels on each other and judge. Is it not time to push these negative behaviors aside and begin to live as One and replace hate with love?

Eyes Spark Light

May your eyes spark the light that can enlighten your life path and may the love you share with others be pure and true.

You Are Blessed

If you woke up this morning with more health than illness, you are more blessed than the million who will not survive this week. If you have food in your refrigerator, clothes on your back, a roof over your head and a place to sleep, you are richer than 75% of the world. If you have money in the bank or in your wallet, you are among the 80% of the worlds wealthy. If you can put a smile on your face and are truly thankful, you are blessed because the majority can, but most do not.

It's Okay Not To Be Okay

Be thankful for the days the sun shines brighter than your spirit, because it’s reminding you that it’s okay not to be okay.

Attain Spiritual Enlightenment

Every person embarks on a journey of self-discovery at some point in their life. Some people attain spiritual enlightenment during their journey of introspection. Knowing oneself fully is the highest point of self-actualization. To achieve this goal, one has to accept one’s flaws and special qualities with humility and honesty.

If You Always Kept Smiling

If five seconds of smiling can make a photograph more beautiful, then just imagine if you always kept smiling. How beautiful your life would be.

Your Time Is Limited

Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma –– which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of other’s opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.

Inaction Leads To . . .

Failure leads to disappointment. Inaction leads to devastation.
