When you expect nothing, you always receive a lot.
No matter how much you receive, if you expected even more, you will be disappointed. No matter how little you receive, if you expected even less, you will be happy.
Your happiness depends on you… on your own perspective…
How do you see it?
Life is full of struggles. Sometimes, we have to deal with the daily challenges on our own. Remember, you can do it! Rest if you must, but don’t you quit!
If you ever need a helping hand, you’ll find one at the end of your arm.
And a time always comes when you discover that you have two hands: one for helping yourself, the other for helping others.
And there are also other people who are willing to extend a helping hand to you. We call them… our loved ones.
Recession is also a time of great opportunity.
Time and time again success has its roots in failure, because failure knocks you down from top of the hill so you can then climb a mountain. Yes it’s unsettling, yes it’s scary. But this can be your greatest opportunity in life, – if you choose it. The recession has cleared the space of clutter, – think what have you always wanted to do but brushed aside from the top of your hill? Now is the time…
Things to ponder if you’ve made a mistake:
It’s never too late to get back on track. Never has anyone gone so far on the wrong path that they cannot return to the right one. Never has anyone become so wayward that they cannot benefit from the true light.
You can be an echo of your past, or the glory of your future.
Past is connected to future through the present. At this very moment, at every moment, you are choosing to carry on the past with all its troubles on your shoulders, OR to let it go and see bright future pull your forward. Choose wisely.
Inevitable is best accepted with serenity.
It's not a question of faith...
There are times when you absolutely see no solution. When you’ve thought and thought and prayed and prayed; when you’ve sat still in meditation listening for an answer and still no answer comes. There are times when it’s okay to just surrender.
God’s messages always touch my heart. I love my life and I love it even more with this:
If you would rather live than die, all is in your hands.
Life is not lost by dying; life is lost minute by minute, day by dragging day, in all the thousand small uncaring ways.
Again, life is not lost by dying…
So timely… My grandma’s second death anniversary will be five days from now and even though I’ve accepted the fact that she already passed away, at times like this, I can’t helped but miss her… I love you, Lola.
You don’t have to be serious to be spiritual.
Laughter is good! Levity is good! When you allow yourself to be joyful, that joy radiates to all those around you. God honors you and your laughter.
Your soul wants the freedom to sing, dance, love. As your body needs nourishment – food, drink, sleep, so does your soul need nourishment – sing, dance, love. Life is not all work, work is not all hard toil. Nourish your soul with the food that is right for it, for it is the altar of your own inner temple.
You can only give away what you already have inside yourself. True giving happens when you are overflowing from the inside, and cannot help but share. When there is so much love within you that it has to flow to others or you would burst open. There is no thinking involved, no willpower in such sharing. It just flows out. If you have to force yourself to be kind, to love, to feel compassion, you’ve missed the first step of filling in your own Self with these emotions.
