Motivating Poem - Open My Eyes and Let Me See...!!!

Let me see.
Open my eyes and guide me carefully
Through the mazes of my heart
To the place where truth lies
And there is light . . .
Let me see.

I know it's there.
I've just been disconnected from the path
That will take me there.
And I'm tired of running circles
To nowhere.
I need to feel the care . . . and share.

My soul has always known what I forgot.
I'm going to the door now,
Please hear me knock.
Open up
The pupil seeks the master
To show her how.
Remind me how.

Then . . . I see so clearly what I blocked!
The light has always been there,
It was me that sent up clouds,
Obscured the view . . .
Now I see it all brand new!!!
Can you see it too?

All is well, sweet one
All is well!
I heard the voice tell me
All is well!

Keep your dreams alive!
Have no doubts inside!
And just believe!
Have faith, Believe!
It's just that easy.

Keep life fun.
You never get it wrong
and you never get it done.
All paths you take will lead you to the One
You can't get lost . . .
Even if you run!!!

So now the light
Shines in all the crevices of me.
I opened up the shades to see
The beauty that is me.
Allowing the beauty that is you . . . too.
For what is me is you
And there's the truth.

Story of Life

A professor stood before his philosophy class and had some items in front of him. When the class began, wordlessly, he picked up a verylarge and empty mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it with golf balls. He then asked the students if the jar was full. They agreed that it was.

So the professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them into the jar. He shook the jar lightly. The pebbles rolled into the open areas between the golf balls. He then asked the students again if the jar was full. They agreed it was. The professor next picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar. Of course, the sand filled up the remaining space. He asked once more if the jar was full. The students responded with anunanimous 'yes'.

The professor then produced two cans of beer from under the table and poured the entire contents into the jar, effectively filling the space between the sand particles. The students laughed. Now, said the professor, as the laughter subsided, "I want you to recognize that this jar represents your life. " "The golf balls are the important things - your family, your children, your health, your friends, your favourite passions -things that if everything else were lost, and only they remained, your life would still be full. The pebbles are the other things that matter like your job, your house, your car. The sand is everything else - the small stuff.

"If you put the sand into the jar first," he continued, "there is no room for the pebbles or the golf balls. The same goes for life. If you spend all your time and energy on the small stuff, you will never have room for the things that are important to you. Pay attention to the things that are critical to your happiness. Play with your children. Take your partner out to dinner. Go out with friends. There will always be time to clean the house and fix the washing. Take care of the golf balls first, the things that really matter. Set your priorities. The rest is just sand........

Inspiring Story - Change Ourselves First.

The following words were written on the tomb of a priest buried at Westminster Abbey:

 

"When I was young and free and my imagination had no limits, I dreamed of changing the world.
 
As I grew older and wiser , I discovered the world would not change, so I shortened my sights somewhat and decided to change only my country. But it, too, seemed immovable.

 

As I grew into my twilight years, in one last desperate attempt, I settled for changing only my family, those closest to me, but alas, they would have none of it.

 

And now, as I lie on my deathbed, I suddenly realize: If only I had changed myself first, then by example I would have changed my family. From their inspiration and encouragement, I would then have been able to better my country and, who knows, I may have even changed the world."

 

As a we embark on another new year in our lives, lets pause and reflect to see if we need to start the process of 'change' with ourselves. Try it and you will realize that its not such an easy task. If so, can we 'change' others if we are unable to change ourselves? On the other hand, if we can 'change' ourselves, you will realize how easy it is to accept people and situations as they are.......and make it a great week ahead...!!!
