It is how good they can be with God's help that counts..In life you can absolutely count on one thing, - everything can turn around in one day, in one minute sometimes. Don't you dare to give up, - you might be a moment away from a wind
fall.

You are perfect as you are...
God doesn't create faulty life. No. Everything created by God is perfect, and so are you. So stop driving yourself mad with endless ways to improve, and just accept the glory of your being as is.

Faith is exactly what it takes to get through uncertainty...
Faith is not necessary when you know how things are going to work out, - that's knowledge. It's in the time of unknowing that having faith is what sees you through to the other side. Faith is what gives you strength. Faith is that light in your heart that keeps on shining even when it's all darkness outside. Now is the time to keep that faith alive!

Nothing is exciting if you know what outcome is going tobe.
You keep wanting to know how things will play out, keep asking to see the future. God doesn't give anyone the power to know the future, because life becomes maddeningly boring when you know everything upfront. So, instead of struggling, enjoy the uncertainty - to be alive means to not know.

Difficult people are very important...they teach you tolerance and acceptance.
If all was going your way all the time, you would become a spoiled child, wouldn't everyone? Difficult people are just one of the ways God teaches us to expand beyond our egos and accept other perspectives on life

Happiness has nothing to do with pleasure
You feel pleasure when you want something and you get it. Or when you don't want something and you remove it. Pleasure is always relative. Happiness is absolute. Happiness is the understanding and acceptance of life as it is in this very moment as completely perfect, because every creation of God is perfect. The degree to which you do not accept life in all of the Divine forms is the degree to which you suffer.

Very Interesting
People come into your life for a reason, a season or a lifetime.
When you know which one it is, you will know what to do for that
person..
When someone is in your life for a REASON, it is usually to meet a need
you have expressed.
They have come to assist you through a difficulty, to provide you with
guidance and support,
To aid you physically, emotionally or spiritually.
They may seem like a godsend and they are.
They are there for the reason you need them to be.
Then, without any wrongdoing on your part or at an inconvenient time,
this person will say or do something to bring the relationship to an
end.
Sometimes they die. Sometimes they walk away.
Sometimes they act up and force you to take a stand.
What we must realize is that our need has been met, our desire
fulfilled, their work is done.
The prayer you sent up has been answered and now it is time to move on.
Some people come into your life for a SEASON, because your turn has
come to share, grow or learn.
They bring you an experience of peace or make you laugh.
They may teach you something you have never done.
They usually give you an unbelievable amount of joy.
Believe it, it is real. But only for a season.
LIFETIME relationships teach you lifetime lessons,
things you must build upon in order to have a solid emotional
foundation.
Your job is to accept the lesson,
love the person and put what you have learned to use in all other
relationships and areas of your life.
It is said that love is blind but friendship is clairvoyant.

Inspiring short stories
Unconditional Love
A story is told about a soldier who was finally coming home after having fought in Vietnam. He called his parents from San Francisco.
"Mom and Dad, I'm coming home, but I've a favor to ask. I have a friend I'd like to bring home with me."
"Sure," they replied, "we'd love to meet him."
"There's something you should know the son continued, "he was hurt pretty badly in the fighting. He stepped on a land mind and lost an arm and a leg. He has nowhere else to go, and I want him to come live with us."
Friends are a very rare jewel, indeed. They make you smile and encourage you to succeed They lend an ear, they share a word of praise, and they always want to open their hearts to us.

Journey of Life
Don't show pain in the presence of others when you can. It is an encouragement to see a soul that is not willing to give up. Accept the mock of others as reminders. Tolerate discouragements. Show respect at the presence of humble of spirit. Be willing to listen. Observe with a heart that is willing to assist. Continually practice and keep a firm grip of what is learned.

15 Laws of Life
1. Love Is The Law Of Life: All love is expansion, all selfishness is contraction. Love is therefore the only law of life. He who loves lives, he who is selfish is dying. Therefore, love for love's sake, because it is law of life, just as you breathe to live.
2. It's Your Outlook That Matters: It is our own mental attitude, which makes the world what it is for us. Our thoughts make things beautiful, our thoughts make things ugly. The whole world is in our own minds. Learn to see things in the proper light.
3. Life is Beautiful: First, believe in this world - that there is meaning behind everything. Everything in the world is good, is holy and beautiful. If you see something evil, think that you do not understand it in the right light. Throw the burden on yourselves!
4. It's The Way You Feel: Feel like Buddha and you will be a Buddha. It is feeling that is the life, the strength, the vitality, without which no amount of intellectual activity can reach God.
5. Set Yourself Free: The moment I have realised God sitting in the temple of every human body, the moment I stand in reverence before every human being and see God in him - that moment I am free from bondage, everything that binds vanishes, and I am free.
6. Don't Play The Blame Game: Condemn none: if you can stretch out a helping hand, do so. If you cannot, fold your hands, bless your brothers, and let them go their own way.
7. Help Others: If money helps a man to do good to others, it is of some value; but if not, it is simply a mass of evil, and the sooner it is got rid of, the better.
8. Uphold Your Ideals: Our duty is to encourage every one in his struggle to live up to his own highest idea, and strive at the same time to make the ideal as near as possible to the Truth.
9. Listen To Your Soul: You have to grow from the inside out. None can teach you, none can make you spiritual. There is no other teacher but your own soul.
10. Be Yourself: The greatest religion is to be true to your own nature. Have faith in yourselves!
11. Nothing Is Impossible: Never think there is anything impossible for the soul. It is the greatest heresy to think so. If there is sin, this is the only sin - to say that you are weak, or others are weak.
12. You Have The Power: All the powers in the universe are already ours. It is we who have put our hands before our eyes and cry that it is dark.
13. Learn Everyday: The goal of mankind is knowledge... now this knowledge is inherent in man. No knowledge comes from outside: it is all inside. What we say a man 'knows', should, in strict psychological language, be what he 'discovers' or 'unveils'; what man 'learns' is really what he discovers by taking the cover off his own soul, which is a mine of infinite knowledge.
14. Be Truthful: Everything can be sacrificed for truth, but truth cannot be sacrificed for anything.
15. Think Different: All differences in this world are of degree, and not of kind, because oneness is the secret of everything.
2. It's Your Outlook That Matters: It is our own mental attitude, which makes the world what it is for us. Our thoughts make things beautiful, our thoughts make things ugly. The whole world is in our own minds. Learn to see things in the proper light.

Be enterprenuer not serviceman
A good story for all of us to follow in our careers and social life........ ...very true
Once upon a time a Washerman was bringing up two donkeys.
Let us say Donkey-A and Donkey-B.
Donkey-A felt it was very energetic and could do better than the other. It always tried to pull the washerman's attraction over it by taking more load and walking fast in front of him.
Innocent Donkey-B is normal, so it will walk normal, irrespective of the washerman's presence.
After a period of time, Washerman started pressurizing Donkey-B to be like Donkey-A. But
Donkey-B unable to walk fast, got continuous punishment from washerman. It was crying and
told personally to Donkey-A "Dear friend, only we two are here, why to compete with each
other....we can carry equal load at normal speed ".
That made Donkey-A all the more energetic and next day it told to washerman that it can carry more load and even it can run fast also.
Obviously happier washerman looked at Donkey-B.., his BP raised and he started kicking Donkey-B. Next day with smile, Donkey-A carried more load and started running fast. But it was breathtaking for Donkey-B and it couldn't act that way....But the washerman was frustrated, so he harassed Donkey-B terribly, and finally it fell down hopelessly.
Then Donkey-A felt itself as a supreme and happily started carrying more load with great speed. But now the Load of the Donkey-B is also being carried by Donkey-A., and still it has to run fast. For some period it did, finally due to fatigue it got tired and started feeling the pain. But washerman expected more from Donkey-A. It also tried best, but couldn't cope up with his owners demand. The Washerman got angry with Donkey-A also and started harassing to take more load... Donkey-A was crying for long time and then tried its best... But it couldn't meet the owner's satisfaction. Finally the day came when due to frustration the washerman killed Donkey-A and went for searching some other Donkeys.
Its an endless story..........
But the moral of the Story in Corporate and social life is......,
"Think all colleagues are same and that everyone is capable.... Always Share the Load equally..... Don't ever act smart in front of your Boss and never try for getting over-credit. ..
Don't feel happy when ur colleague is under pressure.. "
It doesn't matter if u r A or B, for the Boss u shall be always DONKEY
And most importantly, Never Work Hard, Work Cleverly..... "Success is a journey not a destination"

Nice words
When things go wrong, as they sometimes will,
when the road you’re trudging seems all uphill,
When the funds are low and the debts are high,
And you want to smile, but you have to sigh,
When care is pressing you down a bit,
Rest, if you must, but do not quit.
Life is queer with its twists and turns,
As every one of us sometimes learns,
And many a failure turns about,
When he might have won had he stuck it out;
Don’t give up though the pace seems slow—
You may succeed with another blow.
Often the goal is nearer than,
It seems to a faint and faltering man,
Often the struggler has given up,
When he might have captured the victor’s cup,
And he learned too late when the night slipped down,
How close he was to the golden crown.
Success is failure turned inside out—
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt,
And you never can tell how close you are,
It may be near when it seems so far,
So stick to the fight when you’re hardest hit—
It’s when things seem worst that you must not quit.

THANKS AND GRATITUDE
Every day should be a good day and you should live it like it's your last. Some people live a life of anger, frustration, pain, jealousy, and/or dishonesty, but all of these things will come to pass when your time here is over. Just take a moment to think, we will not be on this earth forever.One day, we will not have to worry about going to work or how we will make our car payment.
We will not have to worry where our next meal will come from, or how we can buy that beautiful house. At anytime, God could take us off of this earth, so you should appreciate today and not worry about tomorrow, for nobody knows what tomorrow will bring. When you wake up each morning, thank the Lord for waking you up.
When you lie down to sleep at night, thank the Lord for another day. If you have a job, thank the Lord for your place of employment. Ask that He May bless you in everything that you do. Ask Him to give you the knowledge and the wisdom to do your job. If you don't have a job, thank Him anyway. Ask him to direct you to the job that is right for you.
When you are eating breakfast, lunch or dinner, say a prayer. Thank the Lord for providing food and nourishment to your body. If you are healthy, thank the Lord for the health and strength in your body. If you aren't, thank Him anyway for life, and ask Him to heal your body. So the next time that you get mad, think twice.
The next time you complain about something at your job, think twice. The next time you say you wish you had steak instead of chicken, think twice. Be thankful for what you have, and the life that God has given you. Pray and ask the Lord for guidance. Be sincere, as God knows whether or not we mean it from the heart. Help those in need as a gift from your heart, and not so you can get a pat on the back.
Put forth the extra effort in everything that you do. Go after what you want in life, and do whatever it takes to achieve your goals. No matter how perfect you think you are, there is always room for improvement, and an opportunity for you to do better. If you are depressed, don't cry just hold your head up and the Lord will help you through.
Pray and ask the Lord to deliver you from your state of depression. Whatever it is that you are depressed about, God will take that pain from your heart. It may not be at that moment, or that next hour, or maybe not even the next day, but He WILL do it if you just believe in Him.
God may not show up when YOU want Him to, but He's ALWAYS right in time. God will not give us more than we can bear. Sometimes He will present us with issues that will test our faith, but you have to be strong enough to believe that God will do exactly what He says. The message for today is to praise the Lord, have faith in the Lord, give thanks to the Lord, and live every day like it is your last.
We will not have to worry where our next meal will come from, or how we can buy that beautiful house. At anytime, God could take us off of this earth, so you should appreciate today and not worry about tomorrow, for nobody knows what tomorrow will bring. When you wake up each morning, thank the Lord for waking you up.

Top 9 Laws of Abundance and Wealth.
One of the oldest juridical principle states “Ignorance of the law excuses no one”. It means that even if we are unaware of the law, we still cannot escape liability for violating it.
Universal Abundance Laws follow the same principle. You might not be aware of them, but it does not mean that they do not influence your life and that you will not have to face the consequences for not following them to the letter.
If you feel that no matter what you do or how much you work, you still do not make enough money or live below your expectations and abilities, make sure that you read this!
1. THE LAW OF PAYMENT. There is nothing free in the world. For anything you want to receive you have to pay first, be it with your money, time or energy. You pay for both – action and inaction. Usually in the long run inaction costs us a lot more than action does.
2. THE LAW OF ATTRACTION. You can attract into your life anything that you focus your mind on. You can focus your energy on what you WANT to get, DO NOT WANT to get or EXPECT to get. If you put your focus towards lack of money, a boring job, bad health, or poor relationships, the Law of Attraction will respond by giving you more of these things. Similar if you focus on positive aspects of your life you will created more situations of joy, happiness and abundance.
3. THE LAW OF REQUEST. You always get what you ask for. If you are not asking for anything, you will get nothing. If you do not know exactly what you want, prepare yourself for a big unpleasant surprise, that most of us call a “problem”.
4. THE LAW OF THINKING. Our reality is just a reflection of our inner thoughts and decisions. If it you can not visualize it, you can not get it. People become wealthy because they decide to become wealthy. Those, who remain poor, simply have not made the decision to change their current situation. Any change always starts with a shift of attitude.
5. THE LAW OF ENERGY EXCHANGE. The law of conservation of energy states that the total amount of energy in the Universe remains constant. There should always be healthy balance between what you give and what you ask for.
If you give more than you take, you will quickly exhaust your resources. If you take more than you give, you will block the abundance flow. Material objects, thoughts, emotions and experiences exist to be shared with others. Otherwise, they lose their purpose.
6. THE LAW OF SIMILARITY. Like attracts like. Abundance creates more abundance. Just as scarcity attracts more scarcity. The easiest way to activate a flow of abundance is to pass on to someone what you would like to receive.
When you give something away, without expecting anything in return, you declare to the Universe that you already have more than you need. By doing that you send out into the world an energy of abundance and that energy comes back to you.
7. THE LAW OF CAUSE AND EFFECT. Any natural effect in our life has a natural cause. You cannot grow a fruit without planting a seed first. Similar, results that you receive today are the “fruits” of your past decisions and actions. If you do not like the results that you are getting, it is probably time to start doing something differently or make different choices.
8. THE LAW OF RESISTANCE. Activation of the flow of abundance does not necessarily guarantee that your financial situation will improve. Energy always tends to choose the path of least resistance.
If you are doing everything right and still do not see any improvements in your financial situation, it can mean only one thing – your negative beliefs or inner blocks do not allow the abundance energy to flow into your life. Ask yourself, why are you not wealthy yet? What is blocking you from getting what you want?
9. THE LAW OF RELATIVITY. Everything in this life is relative. Your income is just a number unless it has point of reference. If you compare yourself with the richest people of the world, you will constantly feel lack of money and, consequently, attract more lack. If you compare yourself with the poorest of the world, you may realize how blessed you are.
Gratitude is a great way to keep your mind concentrated on abundance and wealth. Like a powerful magnet it keeps us in the flow and aligns our energy with receiving everything that we desire. There is always something to be grateful for. Take a moment to say “Thank you!” for all the wonderful things that you already have in your life. And the Universe will take care of the rest.

SEEDS OF GREENERY
According to scientists, we do not have much time left to save this earth.
�Rivers and ponds are drying up.
�Poisonous gases are increasing in the atmosphere, because during the past years we have mercilessly felled green trees.
�If we can make our earth green again, everything will be as before.
�To this end, we want a small help from you, which you can do without any expenses.
�During the year, whenever you get time, collect some seeds in a paper or cloth bag.
�Seeds of mangoe and jamun can be collected at home itself, whereas seeds of neem can be found easily in the close vicinity.
�Before the onset and during the rainy season, whenever you travel by your own vehicle, bus or train, carry this bag with you and keep throwing 2-4 seeds at small distances in the jungle.
�In rural areas, these seeds can be scattered in the above manner near the boundary of the farms, near the road or in jungle area. Here the seeds will be preserved better and if these grow into plants, they will have better chances of survival.
�If this is not feasible, then you can do this in the vacant plots of land in your neighbourhood. �If a few of the seeds scattered by you grow into plants or trees, these will play a big role in improving the environment.

Create Peace In The World
Be the gentle sovereign of your own mind! Choose to think happy thoughts. When negative, judgmental thoughts enter, say, “Thank you for sharing,” to your imaginative mind and move on. Practice focusing on the positive. You will create more peace in the world by being peaceful to yourself and those around you.When negative people invade your space, evaluate why you need their judgments or abusive language in your life. You are not doing yourself a favor by allowing negative talk in your presence. You can let the negative talkers know that you need peace in your life, and ask them to stop abusive or negative behavior and language.Let go if they can't stop the negativity. Send them love as you let them go. Whatever is going on with the person is not about you. By remaining centered and not judging, you can make the best decisions for yourself and for the other person.Remember that negative people who “push our buttons” are here to teach us that we have much work to do on creating peace within. Let go of all negative influences in your life so that you can build your own blissful, enlightened self. In the meantime, practice compassion with everyone you meet.Communicate from a place of love rather than lack. Remember no one is perfect.Take time for yourself to sit quietly and cultivate inner peace.Enjoy nature! Take walks in parks and local forests to connect to the earth. Say hello to people you meet on the path. Take time to appreciate a tree.Reach out to your neighbor with a homemade apple pie or some delicious veggie chili. Keep in mind that we are all connected. While you are cultivating peaceful thoughts and writing letters to help people across the globe, don’t forget those who live in the next house.Speak with peace. Yelling creates creates negative energy and harmful chemicals reactions in your body. Turn down the volume.
Take time to laugh. Laughter creates happy endorphins in the brain and spreads joy to others. Create more peace within yourself everyday and then let that peace and joy spread to those around you.Find your faith that all will be well. One thing that we can control is how we choose to react to the world around us.We are capable of self-reflection and adjusting our behavior to better serve ourselves and the community. If you have lost your faith in the yourself or the world around you, search for it.Breathe deeply as often as possible. Your new peaceful mind, body and soul vibration will be felt by the world.

Good Moral
An eagle was sitting on a tree resting, doing nothing. A small rabbit saw the eagle and asked him, 'Can I also sit like you and do nothing?' The eagle answered: 'Sure, why not.' So, the rabbit sat on the ground below the eagle and rested. All of a sudden, a fox appeared, jumped on the rabbit and ate it.
Moral of the story: To be sitting and doing nothing, you must be sitting very, very high up.
Moral of the story: To be sitting and doing nothing, you must be sitting very, very high up.
Learn Meditation
Why has meditation been the core practice of all wisdom paths for over two thousand years? Because it is the most effective method to access your innate wisdom, rediscover inner peace and enhance your creative ability. Meditation restores well being, and once your being is well again, all that you do will be successful and fulfilling. But maybe you think you are OK as you are. Perhaps you feel your being is well. But is it. Do you feel tense, worried, hopeless, mentally tired, emotionally upset...ever? Then your being is not well. Your body may be OK but you, the being, is unwell. Medication is for the body, and meditation is for the soul, that's you, and for your mind. Learning how to meditate is one of the greatest gifts you can give to yourself. Practising meditation says you care about yourself. Being in meditation can touch the minds and hearts of others a thousand miles away. It actually says that you care about others too. But first...your self.
Funny story but Very good moral...

much misery is enough!" "Dad, what are you talking about?" the son screams. "We can't stand the sight of each other any longer," the old man says. "We're sick of each other, and I'm sick of talking about this, so you call your sister in Hong Kong and tell her!" Frantic, the son calls his sister, who explodes on the phone. "Like heck they're getting divorced," she shouts, "I'll take care of this." She calls Mumbai immediately, and screams at the old man, "You are not getting divorced. Don't do a single thing until I get there. I'm calling my brother back, and we'll both be there tomorrow. Until then, don't do a thing, DO YOU HEAR??" and she hangs up. The old man hangs up his phone and turns to his wife. "Okay", he says, "It's all set. They're both coming for Diwali and paying their own airfare!!"
MORAL: No man / woman is busy in this world all 365 days. The sky is not going to fall down if you take few days LEAVE and meet your dear ones.

There are spices that each of us need,
Not found in any store...
Yet it's within each one of us,
To have plenty and more.
They can't be bought by brand name,
They come in generic form...
We start accumulating our supply,
Almost from the day we're born.
Try Kindness and Compassion,
Use them when you feel the whim...
Add Caring for that extra touch,
That comes from deep within.
Love is for those special,
It adds an extra zest,
A smile on top of Humble pie,
Will make it taste the best.
Understanding adds the flavor,
To each relationship. ..
It keeps a marriage standing firm,
So that it does not tip.
Friendship is beneficial,Humility a must...
Keep some Hope that you can draw from,
And a Faith that you can trust.

Open Hearted
The heart is like a flower - unless it is open it cannot release its fragrance into the world. The fragrance of the heart is made up of the qualities and virtues of our spirit. Most of us have learned how to keep our heart closed in a world that would trample all over us if we let it. Being open hearted today seems to require tremendous courage. It is a courage which comes only when we realise that no one can hurt us, no matter what they say or do. They may hurt our body, but if we have realised we are spirit, nothing outside can touch us, if we so decide.
I loved this poem
*You don't have to be a star
Or win the public gaze,
To spread a bit of happiness
In simple little ways.**
In this busy world of ours
We can all find time to spare,
To help a troubled soul
By showing them we care.
*A loving touch and gentle words
To ease another's pain,
Can cheer a heart that's sad
And make them smile again.*
If you spread a little happiness
Each and every day,
It will always be remembered
By those who passed your way.

Forgivenss
Forgiveness is an act of the imagination. It dares you to imagine a better future, one that is based on the blessed possibility that your hurt will not be the final word on the matter. It challenges you to give up your destructive thoughts about the situation and to believe in the possibility of a better future. It builds confidence that you can survive the pain and grow from it.
Balance :
The indication of balance in life is a sense of well-being, optimism and a clear conscience. The foundation for achieving this is to look after myself spiritually - making my mind peaceful, loving and thoughtful at all times. Then I will instinctively know how much time to spend on my own well-being and how much on fulfilling other responsibilities. I can only give my best to others when I am myself at my best.
A Calm Mind...
Don't give your mind permission to get disturbed. A disturbed mind is easily influenced. This will cost you your peace. Learn to maintain your peace by freeing yourself from attachments. Competing or comparing yourself with others will not allow you to focus inwards. An inner focus allows you to keep your eye on your higher self. Remember your original nature. It allows you to forge a link with the Divine. Then it becomes easy to recognise useless thoughts and replace them with a spiritual perspective. A calm mind is not just peaceful, it is focused, self-directing and Divine.
What Equals 100%?
What does it mean to give MORE than 100%?
Ever wonder about those people who say they are giving more than 100%?
We have all been in situations where someone wants you to GIVE OVER 100%.
How about ACHIEVING 101%? What equals 100% in life?
Here's a little mathematical formula that might help answer these questions:
If: A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z Is represented
as: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26.
If: H-A-R-D-W-O- R- K 8+1+18+4+23+ 15+18+11 = 98%
And: K-N-O-W-L-E- D-G-E 11+14+15+23+ 12+5+4+7+ 5 = 96%
But: A-T-T-I-T-U- D-E 1+20+20+9+20+ 21+4+5 = 100% THEN,
look how far the love of God will take you: L-O-V-E-O-F- G-O-D 12+15+22+5+15+ 6+7+15+4 = 101%
Therefore, one can conclude with mathematical certainty that:
While Hard Work and Knowledge will get you close, and Attitude will get you there,
It's the Love of God that will put you over the top!

But: A-T-T-I-T-U- D-E 1+20+20+9+20+ 21+4+5 = 100% THEN,
look how far the love of God will take you: L-O-V-E-O-F- G-O-D 12+15+22+5+15+ 6+7+15+4 = 101%
Therefore, one can conclude with mathematical certainty that:
While Hard Work and Knowledge will get you close, and Attitude will get you there,
It's the Love of God that will put you over the top!
