Safeguard Ourselves

If Life Is Water

If life is water, then the jobs, money and position we hold in society are the cups.
They are just tools to hold and maintain our life; but the quality of life doesn't change.

If we only concentrate on the cup, we won't have time to enjoy or taste the water in it.

Nothing Is Over

Do not give up when you still have something to give.
Nothing is really over until the moment you stop trying.

Finish Each Day

Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could.
Some blunders and absurdities no doubt crept in; Forget them as soon as you can.

Tomorrow is a new day; Begin it well and serenely,
And with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense.

Choice Is Yours

When we wake up in the morning, we have two simple choices.
Go back to sleep and dream, or wake up and chase those dreams.

Choice is yours...

If You Think You Can

If you think you are beaten, you are;
If you think you dare not, you don't;
If you want to win but think you can't,
It's almost a cinch you won't.

If you think you'll lose, you're lost;
For out of the world we find
Success begins with a fellow's will;
It's all in a state of mind.

Life's battles don't always go
to the stronger and faster man,
But sooner or later the man who wins
It the man who thinks he can.

The Big Rocks Of Life

One day, an expert in time management was speaking to a group of business students and, to drive home a point, used an illustration those students will never forget. As he stood in front of the group of high-powered overachievers he said, “Okay, time for a quiz?”, and he pulled out a one-gallon, wide-mouth Mason jar and set it on the table in front of him.

He also produced about a dozen fist-sized rocks and carefully placed them, one at a time, into the jar. When the jar was filled to the top and no more rocks would fit inside, he asked, “Is this jar full?”.

Everyone in the class yelled, Yes! The time management expert replied, “Really?”. He reached under the table and pulled out a bucket of gravel. He dumped some gravel in and shook the jar causing pieces of gravel to work themselves down into the spaces between the big rocks.

He then asked the group once more, “Is the jar full?” By this time the class was on to him. “Probably not”, one of them answered. Good! he replied. He reached under the table and brought out a bucket of sand. He started dumping the sand in the jar and it went into all of the spaces left between the rocks and the gravel.

Failure Is Not Negative

Failure is not negative. It is a teacher.
It molds, refines, and polishes you so that one day your light will shine for all to see.

It isn't the failure you experience that will determine your destiny,
but your next step and then the next that will tell the story of your life.

Getting Over Problems

If you can't get through the mountain, Go around it. If you can't go around it, Go over it.

If you can't go over it, sit down and ask yourself, if getting to the other side is all that important? If it is, set about digging a tunnel. For every problem, there are many solutions. Whatever the problems in life are, you have to find ways to get over it.

Joy In Living

Keep your hearts open to dreams.
For as long as there's dream, there is hope.

And as long as there is hope,
there is joy in living.

Live In The Present

Do not look back, and grieve over the past,
For it is gone;

Do not be troubled about the future,
For it has not yet come.

Live in the present, and make it so beautiful,
That it will be worth remembering.

Life's Blessings

I cried because I had no shoes;
Till I saw a man with no feet.

Life is full of blessings.
Sometimes we're just to blind to see them.

Life's Beautiful Picture

Positive pictures come out from negatives developed in a darkroom.

So if you find yourself lonely and in dark, understand that -
life is working on a beautiful picture for you.

Don't Believe What You See

Don’t believe because someone said it to you.
Don’t believe because its a generally held belief.
Don’t believe because it is written in books.
Don’t believe because if is of divine origin.
Don’t believe because someone else believes it.

Believe only what you see, what you test and judge to be true.

Burdens Of Life

We worry about our family, we worry about money or the lack of it.
We worry about work, about where we live, about all sorts of things.

These are all burdens - the things we pick up along life's path
and lug them around the obstacles and over the crevasses that life will bring;
only to find that, at the destination they are useless and we can't take them with us.

That Is Why I Succeed

I've missed more than 9,000 shots in my career.
I've lost almost 300 games.
Twenty-six times I've been trusted to take the game-winning shot and missed.

I've failed over and over and over again in my life.
And that is why I succeed.

The Time Is Now

If there was ever a time to dare, to make a difference,
to embark on something worth doing, IT IS NOW.

Not for any grand cause, necessarily... but for something that tugs at your heart,
something that's your inspiration, something that's your dream.

You owe it to yourself, to make your days here count.

Just Get Going

Challenges are high, The Dreams are new,
The world out there is waiting for you.
Dare to dream, Dare to try
No goal is too distant, No star is too high.

Just Get Going.

Searching For Happiness

Realize that true happiness lies within you.
Waste no time and effort searching for
peace and contentment and joy in the world outside.

Remember that there is no happiness in having or in getting, buy only in giving.

Reach out. Share. Smile. Hug.
Happiness is a perfume you cannot pour on others, without getting a few drops on yourself.

Wrong People

God wants us to meet a few wrong people before meeting the right one.
So when we finally meet the right people, we should know how to be grateful to them.
