Steps to Inner Happiness...!!!

• You can't be all things to all people.
• You can't do all things at once.
• You can't do all things equally well.
• You can't do all things better than everyone else.
• Your humanity is showing just like everyone else's.

So:

• You have to find out who you are, and be that.
• You have to decide what comes first, and do that.
• You have to discover your strengths, and use them.
• You have to learn not to compete with others,

Because no one else is in the contest of *being you*.

 

Then:

• You will have learned to accept your own uniqueness.
• You will have learned to set priorities and make decisions.
• You will have learned to live with your limitations.
• You will have learned to give yourself the respect that is due.

And you'll be a most vital mortal.

 

Dare To Believe:

• That you are a wonderful, unique person.
• That you are a once-in-all-history event.
• That it's more than a right, it's your duty, to be who you are.
• That life is not a problem to solve, but a gift to cherish.

And you'll be able to stay one up on what used to get you down.

Taking Risks Is a Life

Remember that Risks must be taken because the greatest tragedy in life is to risk nothing.

 

The person who risks nothing, do nothing, and has nothing to look forward to.
He is nothing.

 

By avoiding risks, you may avoid some suffering and sorrow,
but you can't learn, feel, change, grow and love.

 

Only a person who risks is free.
He Dreams. He takes Risks. He Succeeds.

Love Makes Your Heart Most Beautiful...

One day a young man was standing in the middle of the town proclaiming that he had the most beautiful heart in the whole valley.

 

A large crowd gathered and they all admired his heart for it was perfect. There was not a mark or a flaw in it. Yes, they all agreed it truly was the most beautiful heart they had ever seen. The young man was very proud and boasted more loudly about his beautiful heart.

 

Suddenly, an old man appeared at the front of the crowd and said, "Why your heart is not nearly as beautiful as mine." The crowd and the young man looked at the old man's heart. It was beating strongly, but full of scars, it had places where pieces had been removed and other pieces put in, but they didn't fit quite right and there were several jagged edges. In fact, in some places there were deep gouges where whole pieces were missing.

 

The people stared - "How can he say his heart is more beautiful?" they thought.

 

The young man looked at the old man's heart and saw its state and laughed. "You must be joking," he said. "Compare your heart with mine, mine is perfect and yours is a mess of scars and tears."

 

"Yes," said the old man, "Yours is perfect looking but I would never trade with you. You see, every scar represents a person to whom I have given my love - I tear out a piece of my heart and give it to them, and often they give me a piece of their heart which fits into the empty place in my heart, but because the pieces aren't exact, I have some rough edges, which I cherish, because they remind me of the love we shared.

 

Sometimes I have given pieces of my heart away, and the other person hasn't returned a piece of his heart to me. These are the empty gouges - giving love is taking a chance. Although these gouges are painful, they stay open, reminding me of the love I have for these people too, and I hope someday they may return and fill the space I have waiting. So now do you see what true beauty is?"

 

The young man stood silently with tears running down his cheeks. He walked up to the old man, reached into his perfect young and beautiful heart, and ripped a piece out. He offered it to the old man with trembling hands. The old man took his offering, placed it in his heart and then took a piece from his old scarred heart and placed it in the wound in the young man's heart. It fit, but not perfectly, as there were some jagged edges.

 

The young man looked at his heart, not perfect anymore but more beautiful than ever, since love from the old man's heart flowed into his.

 

They embraced and walked away side by side.

Prayer from the Divine World.

I Am the Light of the Heart
shining in the darkness of existence,
and everything changing in the Divine Power
of the Spirit of Christ.
I am sending my love into the world,
to wipe out all faults
and to clean up all obstacles.
I am the Power of the infinite Love,
which intensifies itself until she will triumph.
World with no end!
We all with no end!

A Lesson on Life, Perspective Thinking...!

One day, the father of a very wealthy family took his son on a trip to the country with the express purpose of showing him 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, tell me, 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."

 

The boy's father was speechless.

 

Then his son added, "Thanks Dad for showing me how poor we are."

 

Isn't perspective a wonderful thing? Makes you wonder what would happen if we all gave thanks for everything we have, instead of worrying about what we don't have.

What Came First? It 's Egg say British Experts.

London: It’s an age-old debate: What came first, the chicken or the egg? A British scientist says it was the egg. And he has the backing of a philosopher and a chicken farmer.

 

According to the scientist, Prof. John Brookfield, a specialist in evolutionary genetics at the University of Nottingham, it’s very simple. The bird, which has now evolved into a chicken, would have first existed as an embryo inside the egg during pre-historic times.

 

"Therefore, the first living thing which we could say unequivocally was a member of the species would be this first egg," he was quoted across British dailies. "So, I would conclude that the egg came first."

 

Brookfield’s views have been endorsed by Prof David Papineau of King's College London, and Charles Bourns, a poultry farmer and the chairman of a trade body called Great British Chicken. Papineau, whose subject is the philosophy of science, have also reached the conclusion that the first chicken came from an egg and that proves there were chicken eggs before chickens. Papineau says that those argue that the mutant egg belonged to the "non-chicken" parents, are mistaken.

 

"I would argue that it is a chicken egg if it has a chicken in it," he was quoted as saying. "If a kangaroo laid an egg from which an ostrich hatched, that would surely be an ostrich egg, not a kangaroo egg."

 

The poultry farmer Bourns also belongs to the eggs’ side. "Eggs were around long before the first chicken arrived," he stated.
