We can long for peace on earth

Happiness Will Find You

Happiness lives for those who cry, those who are hurt, those who have searched, and those who tried. For only they can appreciate the importance of people who have touched their lives.

The happiest of people don’t necessarily have the best of everything; they just make the most of everything that comes along their way.

If you pursue happiness, it will elude you. But if your focus on your family, your friends, the needs of others, your work and doing the very best you can, happiness will find you.

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.

How You Look At Life

How You Look At Life

If you look at what you do not have in life, you don’t have anything.

If you look at what you have in life, you have everything.

How Happiness Comes

How Happiness Comes

We tend to forget that...
Happiness doesn’t come... as a result of getting something we don’t have,
But it rather comes.. by recognizing and appreciating all that we have.

Imperfect World

Its an imperfect world.
Things are as they are.
You have to work with broken tools.
Life can’t go the way you think.

Do the best you can.
Life will shape the way you shape it.

View From The Window

Life is like a view from the window.

You can’t change the window even if you don’t like it,

but you can change the way you look at it.

Then you will see how beautiful life is.

Let Go Your Past

 The brightest future will always be based on a forgotten past;
You can't go forward in life until you let go of your past failures.

The Measure Of Life

May you have enough happiness to make you sweet, enough trials to make you strong,
enough sorrow to keep you human, and enough hope to make you happy.

The happiest of people don’t necessarily have the best of everything;
They just make the most of everything that comes along their way.

The brightest future will always be based on a forgotten past;
You can’t go forward in life until you let go of your past failures and heartaches.

Don’t count the years - count the memories….
Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away!

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.

Look Within

People spend a lifetime 

searching for happiness; looking for peace.
They chase idle dreams, addictions, religions, 

even other people, hoping to fill 

the emptiness that plagues them.

The irony is that the only place 

they ever needed to search was within themselves.

Retrace Our Steps

If we had a chance to live the day once again,
we would have rectified all our mistakes.
Don’t regret that we can’t do so.

Start looking ahead for tomorrow.
It gives us another chance to retrace our steps.

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.

We Must Be Silent

Before we can lead, we must serve.
Before we can serve, we must prepare.
Before we can prepare, we must learn.
Before we can learn, we must listen.
Before we can listen, we must be silent.

God Has Promised

God has not promised;
Skies always blue, Sun without rain.
Joy without sorrow, Peace without pain.

But God has promised;
Strength for the day,
Rest for the labor,
Light for the way.
Grace for trails,
Help from above,
Unfailing sympathy,
Undying love.

Making A Difference

The people who make a difference in your life are not the ones
with the most credentials, the most money, or the most awards.
They are the ones who care for you.

Only those who care, make a difference.
To make a difference to others, care for them.

Shining Star

Something simple can change your day.
Something simple can change your way.

It's in your hear, not your mind.
It's something good inside you'll find.

Don't forget who you are.
Don't forget you're a shining star.

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.

Your Time Is Limited

Your time is limited.
So don’t waste it living someone else’s life.
Don’t let the noise of other’s opinions drown out your inner voice.
Follow you heart. Always.

All That You Do

Don’t go about looking for your reason to live or finding the purpose of your existence.

The only reason to be alive is to enjoy life.
And enjoy all that you do in life.
