Simple Positive Truths of Life…………

Once, all villagers decided to pray for rain, on the day of prayers all the people gathered there but only one boy came with an umbrella. He had so much confidence in prayers that he knew it would rain and it surely did: That’s called Faith.

When you throw a baby in the air, she laughs because she knows you will catch her, no matter what. She had implicit faith in her parents: That’s called Trust.

Every night we all go to bed, sleeping at peace, without any assurance of being alive the next Morning, but still we set the alarms to wake us up:  That’s called Hope.

Often in our lives we plan big things for tomorrow or the day after in spite of having zero or absolutely no knowledge of what the future is going to be: That’s called Confidence.

So many of us see the world suffering, going through natural calamities, fighting among people and nations but still we fall in love and have wonderful relationships with friends and family: That’s called Love.

On an Old Man’s shirt was written a cute sentence. “I am Not 60 Years Old., I am a Sweet 16 with 44 years of Experience and I am living my life to the fullest with joy and happiness:  That’s called Attitude.

Every moment of your being alive, it makes you look attractive, changes your mood, relieves your stress and helps you stay positive.  It is very catchy and infectious too: That’s called Smile.

When we make others feel special and wanted for no reason at all other than an act of simply being there for them when they want us and showing that we care. Their Words can be short and easy to speak but their echoes are truly endless: That’s called Kindness.

Let us all enjoy our lives with these simple positive truths of life. Life is like a fingerprint that cannot be duplicated so make your best impression with it. LIVE IT, LOVE IT. Do not waste a single moment in your life, because time has no holiday, dreams have no expiry date and life has no pause button.

Besides Forever……….

–A little boy said to a little girl: I am your BF!  The little girl asked: What is BF? The boy laughed in all his innocence and answered: That means I am your Best Friend.

–They later dated, the young man then said to the girl: I am your BF! The girl leaned lightly on the boy’s shoulder and shyly, asked: What is BF? The boy replied lovingly: It’s Boy Friend.

–A few years later they got married, had lovely children and the husband smiled again and told his wife: I am your BF! The wife gently asked her husband: What is BF? The husband looked at the lovely and happy children and replied: It’s Baby’s Father.

–As they got older, they sit together and watch the sunset on the front porch, and the old man tells his wife: Honey, I am your BF!  The wife who had become old smiled with wrinkles on her face: What is BF? The old man smiled happily and gave a mysterious answer: Be Forever.

–When the dying old man also said: I am your BF!  The old woman replied with a sad voice: What is BF? The old man answered and then closed his eyes: It’s Bye Forever.

–A few days later, the old woman also passed away.  Before closing her eyes, the old woman whispered silently by the old man’s grave: BESIDES FOREVER.

Let us all learn to live happily and joyously with each and everyone. The most wonderful places to be are:

In Someone’s Thoughts, In Someone’s Prayers and in Someone’s Heart.

The Silent Awakener………

He is The Silent Awakener

Who walks this beautiful Earth

With mindful timid steps in Silence

In Love with the Whole of Creation

Sitting in natures gorgeous bliss

Enjoying a chorus of sweet songs sung

By the birds flying high in the skies

Oceans that taught him to listen

With a passionate loving heart

Not an ant would he like to crush

Sympathising when trees are being cut

And innocent animals being slaughtered

For the pleasures of foolish men who know nought

Love and blessings are his forte

Kindness and compassionate towards all

He is above religious dogmas

Working tirelessly uplifting humanity

Silently he awakens all souls

Embraces them with immense joy and happiness

Who are ready to receive his grace

And walk courageously with him towards

A Happy World of Love and Kindness

Where nothing exists but ONLY LOVE…………………

Be Jolly and Fancy Free……….

Be jolly and fancy free

Go for an early morning walk

Get some fresh air, try to smile like crazy

Say something kind and exchange pleasantries

To a safe-looking stranger, if one happens by

Always exercise your heart’s knowing

Along this beautiful path

Take your spouse or lover into your arms

The way you did when you first met

Let tenderness pour from your soft eyes

The way the Sun gazes warmly on the earth

Play a game of fun with small toddlers

Extend your warmth and hugs to a friend

Sing a few jingle songs to your pets and plants

And let them too get drunk and wild

In their wildest imaginations

Let’s cheer together with red wine and whiskey

To the whole mad World that has gone astray

We are all One Loving, Happy family

Let us all dance and sing along

Merry and funky sweet tunes

Radiating Hearts to joy and being Fancy Free……………

Let us brighten each other’s Light………

When a flashlight grows dim or quits working, do you just throw it away? Of course not, you would not do that, instead you will go and change the batteries so that once more there will be light.  Similarly, when a person messes up his life or finds himself in a dark place and does not know how to come out, do we cast him aside? Of course not! You help him change his battery which has gone dull with negative and unwanted thinking. 

–Some need AA….attention and affection;

–Some need AAA….attention, affection and acceptance;

–Some need C……Compassion;

–Some need D…..Direction;

–Some need B……..Blessings from God;

–Some need E……..Empathy to understand and give comfort;

–Some need L……Love from the family and friends;

Some need S…….Support and someone to L…….listen to what he is going through in his life so that he could mend his ways and live a positive and beautiful life free from worries and fears.

And if they still do not seem to shine and brighten up from their dilemma, simply sit with them quietly and peacefully and share your Light. The reason why seesaw has two seats is because that way there is always someone to bring you up when you go down.

To make a difference in someone’s life you do not have to be beautiful, rich or perfect, you just have to Care and be Loving.  Let us all brighten each other’s Light and be guided by Love and Happiness.………………..

The Starfish Story……….

An old man was walking on the beach one morning after a storm.  In the distance, he could see someone moving like a dancer, dancing with so much flair, agility and sprightliness in her steps.  In total amazement he kept looking at the dancer.  As he came closer, he saw that it was a young woman picking up few of the starfish that had come with huge waves on the shore and very gently with a mother’s tender touch again throwing them into the ocean where they actually belonged.

He wondered to himself: “Has that woman gone mad.  What is she doing and why?  He approached her and kindly asked her: “Young lady, why are you throwing these starfish back into the ocean?” She looked up at the old man and ever so sweetly said: “Sir, the sun is up, and very soon the tide is going out, and if I do not throw them into the sea where they rightly belong, they will die.  They are not meant to be on the shore and I don’t want to see them die at any cost.  They too have a life.” 

The old man was a little surprised by her reply as he was not understanding what she was up to.  He again thought to himself: “Has this woman gone mad and why is she doing this”.  So he once again approached her: “But young lady, do you not realize that there are many miles of expanse of beach and thousands of starfish? They must be all coming up on the shore and dying by thousands. How many will you keep on saving and why? You cannot possibly make a difference to them.” 

The young woman listened politely, to the old man, then bent down picked up another starfish and gently threw it into the sea.  She said:  “Even by giving life to only one starfish from amongst thousands of them present on the beach, it makes a difference for that one”.  So saying, she then went on her way with a sparkling smile on her face and a dance in her steps.  Life for her was purely making a difference to whoever she came across. Let us all learn to make a difference in someone’s life.

REAL HAPPINESS LIES IN MAKING OTHERS HAPPY…………

This is How I See You………

This is how I see you

Beautiful love of my Life

You and Me dancing on wings of love

On the twirl of pretty tulips

In the fluffy white clouds

Creating magical moments of bliss

In two happy souls riding on waves of love

In the oceanic splendor of time

Vibrant and full of life

With the sweet singing of birds

Flapping wings of joy to open skies

In the gentle springs of time

With Flowers blooming in meadows green

In the tiny hands cherished with care

In the arms of lovers ecstasy

Hearts full of love and delight

Underneath it all sweet beauty flows

In One lovely Heart’s embrace

Enveloped in a Circle of Love

Beating joyously in One and All

A magnificent expression of Life

This is how I see you in all of us

Beautiful love of my Life……………………

Irish Philosophy of Life……..

There are only two things to worry about, either you are well and cheerful or you are sick and in bad health.

• If you are well – then there is nothing to worry about. You can go about doing whatever you wish.  If you want you can go on a picnic with your friends, or you can go on a beautiful trip to wherever you may like with your family or be alone. You can do whatever you feel like doing and enjoy life to the fullest.

• If you are sick – there are two things to worry about. Either you will get well or you will die sooner or later if you keep on cursing your life or judging and complaining all the time.

• If you get well – there is nothing to worry about.

• But If you die – there are two things to worry about.

• Either you will go to heaven or hell.

• If you go to heaven – there is nothing to worry about. Life is beautiful and joyous. You are taken care of.

• But if you go to hell – you’ll be so damn busy shaking hands with your friends that you won’t have time to worry in hell also.

So then why Worry at all. Any which way, one day we all have to die and depart from our so called bodies. Worry has never done anyone any good.  Don’t let your mind wander in worrisome thoughts but work selflessly and leave all your worries in his Hands who knows what is best for each one of us. Be completely resigned to His Will. Do your best – then don’t worry. Be happy in his Love.

Let us today put our problems in God’s hands. He puts His peace in our Hearts. Not all of us can do great things. But we can surely do small things with great Love. Start to believe in yourself, miracles will soon start blossoming.………………….

Two Horses…………

Just up the road from a home in Wisconsin is a stable owned by one Mr. Jeffrey with few horses.  From a distance, each horse looks like any other horse.  But if you stop your car, or are walking by, you will notice something quite amazing.  Looking into the eyes of one horse very closely will disclose that he is blind.  His owner has chosen not to have him put down, but has made a good home for him.  This alone is amazing.  If you stand nearby and listen, you will hear the sound of a bell. Looking around for the source of the sound, you will see that it comes from the smaller horse in the field.

Attached to the horse’s halter is a small bell. It lets the blind friend know where the other horse is, so he can follow him wherever he goes.  As you stand and watch these two friends, you will see that the horse with the bell is always checking on the blind horse. The blind horse too will listen for the bell and then slowly walk to where the other horse is, trusting that he will not be led astray.  When the horse with the bell returns to the shelter of the barn each evening, it stops occasionally and looks back, making sure that the blind friend is not too far behind to hear the bell. 

Like Mr. Jeffrey who is taking care of these two horses, God does not throw us away just because we are not perfect or because we have problems or challenges. He watches over us and even brings others into our lives to help us when we are in need. Sometimes we are the blind horse being guided by the little ringing bell of those who God places in our lives.  Other times we are the guiding horse, helping others to find their way. 

Good friends are like that. You may not always see them, but you know they are always there.  Please listen for my bell and I will listen for yours, and remember be Kinder than necessary. Everyone you meet is fighting some kind of a battle.  For we walk by Faith and not by Sight.  Happy Friendship Day to one and all.…………….

Magical Moments of Beauty…………..

Once I see the magical moments

Of beauty and splendor in their glory

In the tiny dewdrops and bluebells

In the daffodils dancing gaily

I feel like cupping them in my tender hands

And kissing one by one so tenderly

They seem to be winking at me

And calling me ever gently

“Come my Friend into our fold

We will love you beyond the stars”

I see Tiny Fairies in their pretty pinks

Sashing and flitting from tree to tree

Unfurling petals of loveliness

With their charming hearts

Birds singing sweet songs of melody

Only love can bring joy, cheerfulness

On each and every beautiful lip

Being present is the only way

To live these truly magical moments

The path is soothing under my foot

I feel in Oneness with the beauty surrounding me

I am enjoying my moments of Bliss to the fullest……………
