Trust & Honesty

Introduction :

A true friendship is built on trust and honesty, is able to withstand the test of time, and possesses the capacity of forgiveness.

1. Foundation :
A friendship is built on a solid foundation, which enables it to withstand adversity and conflict. For example, a true friend will understand your underlying feelings in spite of your outward actions.

2. Respect :
Respect is the key to any successful relationship; and without it, there can be no true friendship. For example, a true friend may disagree and share a different opinion in a caring and thoughtful
way, not in a scornful and disdainful manner.

3. Intimacy :
A friendship involves the sharing of personal and intimate information, which is safely held between friends. For example, a true friend will hold a confidence no matter the burden.

4. Enrichment :
A friendship provides a richness to each friend by giving each a sense of value and importance. For example, a true friend is able to give love, compassion, attention, and compliments unselfishly.

5. Nourishment :
A friendship nourishes the soul and makes the heart sing. For example, a true friend knows how to plant seeds and empower in an honest and loving way.

6. Dance :
A friendship resembles a perfectly choreographed and perfectly synchronized dance between two partners. For example, a true friend knows what step you are going to take before you take it.

7. Support :
A friendship provides support during times of need. For example, when you are walking a difficult path, a true friend is there to quietly walk beside you and to give you whatever is needed no matter the circumstances.

8. Harmony :
A friendship is a harmonious bond between human beings where different ideas and thoughts may be freely shared with each friend having the capacity to fully understand. For example, a true friendship involves an honest exchange of ideas without chaos or conflict.

9. Inspiration :
A friendship serves to inspire. For example, a true friend possesses unconditional kindness and love, which inspires others to exemplify the same traits.

10. Partnership :
A friendship is a partnership with both friends working together to create a synergy. For example, an obstacle is more easily and effortlessly overcome with the help of a friend.

Motivational Poem - A Chance To Start

How often we wish for another chance
To make a fresh beginning.
A chance to blot out our mistakes
And change failure into winning.

It does not take a special time
To make a brand-new start,
It only takes the deep desire
To try with all our heart.

To live a little better,
To always be forgiving.
To add a little sunshine,
In a world for which we're living.

Never give up in despair
Nor think you are through,
For there's always a tomorrow,
A chance to start a new.

Sing

Sing, sing, sing. Your voice is music to my ears. Even if you sing as off-key as I do (and that I doubt) your singing is still a wonderful sound. A sound of joy. A sound of life. A sound of stress relief.

It is pretty hard to feel down in the dumps when singing, because just the act of singing lifts the spirits. Like a book or a movie, singing lets your mind escape from you worries. Unlike a book or a movie, your singing is an active escape; you are creating the happiness, not just watching the entertainment.

So sing to your heart's content...because that, too, is what singing can do.

Love is Never Silent

Love is Never Silent
A loving heart, a gentle smile
a warm and tender touch
We give so many things in life
but nothing means as much.
A little inspiration
when one loses hope,
A kind word of encouragement
when they no longer seem to cope.
A simple phrase, "I love you"
when no one else is there
Taking hold onto a hand
in a little heartfelt prayer.
Love is never silent
It has so much to say,
And it is our greatest blessing
when we give it all away.

Spread some love today!

Life

Life is time between birth and death.

it is the greatest thing in the world.

Inspirational Poem - Nothing to Fear

There's nothing to fear --- you're as good as the best,
As strong as the mightiest, too.
You can win in every battle or test;
For there's no one just like you.
There's only one you in the world today;
So nobody else, you see,
Can do your work in as fine a way:
You're the only you there'll be !

So face the world, and all life is yours
To conquer and love and live:
And you'll find the happiness that endures
In just the measure you give;
There's nothing too good for you to possess,
Nor heights where you cannot go:
Your power is more than belief or guess ---
It is something you have to know.

There is nothing to fear --- you can and you will.
For you are the invincible you.
Set your foot on the highest hill ---
There's nothing you cannot do.

Beautiful Positive Thoughts

The more we know, the better we forgive. Whoe'er feels deeply, feels for all that live.
~ Mme. de Stael

Wisdom is knowing what to do next, skill is knowing how to do it, and virtue is doing it.
~ David Starr Jordan

The black moment is the moment when the real message of transformation is going to come.

At the darkest moment comes the light.
~ Joseph Campbell

Dream no small dreams for they have no power to move the hearts of men.
~ Goethe

A leader has the vision and conviction that a dream can be achieved. He inspires the power and energy to get it done.

In the final analysis there is no solution to man's progress but the day's honest work, the day's honest decisions, the day's generous utterances and the day's good deed.
~ Clare Booth Luce

Understand that the right to choose your own path is a sacred privilege.

Use it. Dwell in possibility.
~ Oprah Winfrey

Value

VALUE

"Every man stamps his value on himself... man is made great or small by his own will."

J.C.F. von Schiller had his own way of saying what we now call self-esteem. But really, that is what it is - the value we each place on ourselves.

It really does not matter what others think. They might think we are the greatest thing since sliced bread, but we will not be satisfied if we don't place a strong value on ourselves (which is why people in Hollywood, adored by millions, can still have self-esteem problems).

Or they might think they are God's gift to the planet, even though everyone they meet looks for the shortest route to the nearest exit. Which explains why some lowlife seem to always be showing off.

But most of all, you can put the value you wish on yourself and therefore, you can be as valuable as you wish.

~ Unknown
-------------------------------------------

It's true that we don't know what we've got until we lose it, but it's also true that we don't know what we've been missing until it arrives.
~ Unknown
-------------------------------------------

When involved in something new, there is usually more fear for our failure than there is faith in success. So although we put in sufficient efforts towards achieving the target, we are not able to experience success. This fear neither makes us give our best to the task, nor does it ensure our success in anyway. We need to maintain the faith in our mind first about our own success. Because if we think in our mind that we have failed, we have failed even before we have actually attempted the task. What we need is a constant experience of success in the mind, which makes us increase the speed and intensity of our efforts.
~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Heart Prints

Heart Prints
By Author Unknown

Whatever our hands touch...we leave
fingerprints on.
On walls, on furniture, on door knobs,
dishes and books.

As we touch we leave our identity..
Oh please where ever I go today...
help me leave heart prints.

Heart prints of compassion,
understanding and love.
Heart prints of kindness and genuine concern.

May my heart touch a lonely neighbor...
or a runaway daughter...
or an anxious mother...
or perhaps a dear friend!

I shall go out today...
to leave heart prints...
and if some one should say...
"I felt your touch!"

Some Motivational Quotes

The mightiest lever known to the world: imagination.
~ William Wordsworth

I attribute my success to this.
I never gave or took an excuse.
~ Florence Nightengale

To be tireless is to ensure success. The one who is tireless is prepared for every situation of life and so is not afraid of anything that happens. To be tireless means to be able to understand the situation in an accurate way and to have the ability to move forward inspite of all the difficult situations. It also means to learn from each and every situation and move forward constantly. When we are able to be tireless in all the situations of our life, we are able to understand things clearly. We don't experience any fear but are able to move forward with confidence knowing that we will surely be successful. With our tirelessness, we ensure success even when the worst challenges come our way.
~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Happiness can be a garment made with little stitches.
~ Elizabeth Coatsworth

The only faith that is both concrete and comprehensive is that for life -- its abundance and its progress.
~ Julian Huxley

Cooperation comes when there are pure feelings and good wishes for all involved in the task. Every task we take up needs to be for the benefit of all. When we are working for something in which there is common benefit, we are able to easily gain others' cooperation. This also brings good wishes from all of them, which will naturally help in the success of the task. When we take up something new and important, we need to make sure that there is surely something that will bring some benefit for everyone involved in the task. This attention helps us get the cooperation of those around us for the success of the task.
~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Begin a New Day with Broad Smile

Smile a While

Life should be a journey
full of smile & laugher
A smile & a hearty laugh
take u a long way......

A smile is somthing that
any body can give

also a smile is somthing very precious
even though we don't value it
what one doesn't realize is that
the world looks brighter
from behind a smile......

Laughter on the other hand
is worth a million
because it is a cheap medicine
therefore , take time laugh
for it is the music to the soul
laugh off the yesterday & begin a
new day with broad smile......

True Love

Two butterflies were in love.

One day, they decided to play Hide n Seek.

During the play.
Boy Butterfly - “A small game within us“
Girl Butterfly - “OK“
Boy Butterfly - “The one who sits in this flower tomorrow early in the morning that one loves the other one more...“
Girl Butterfly - “OK“

Next morning, the boy butterfly waits for the flower to open so that he can sit before the girl butterfly does.

Finally, the flower opened.

What did he see...???? ?

The girl butterfly had died inside the flower.

She stayed there all night.
so that early in the morning.
as soon as she sees him.
she can fly to him and tell him how much she loved him.

This is true LOVE

Be Quick to Compliment

This is an ancient art fallen into disuse. A really good, honest compliment shows that you appreciate the person you admire. There is no shortage of critics. But there is a dearth of people who say nice things when they genuinely feel them.

"Feedback," says Ken Blanchard, co-author of The One-Minute Manager and other motivational books, "is the breakfast of champions." People want and need to know how they're doing.

Be on the lookout for positive acts and attitudes worth noting. You'll convince the other person that you care -and you'll convince yourself as well.

Wonderful Quotes

"If you have a talent, use it in every which way possible.
Don't hoard it.
Don't dole it out like a miser.
Spend it lavishly like a millionaire intent on going broke."
~ Brenda Francis

"No one is useless in this world who lightens the burdens of another."
~ Charles Dickens

"I have yet to find the man, however exalted his station, who did not do better
work and put forth greater effort under a spirit of approval than under a spirit of criticism."
~ Charles M. Schwab

"Make everyone you meet feel important"
~ Dale Carnegie

Champions keep playing until they get it right.
~ Billie Jean King

Never look down on anybody unless you're helping them up.
~ Jesse Jackson

"Often people attempt to live their lives backwards: they try to have more things, or more money, in order to do more of what they want so that they will be happier. The way it actually works is the reverse. You must first be who you really are, then, do what you need to do, in order to have what you want."
~ Margaret Young

"For every minute you are angry you lose sixty seconds of happiness."
~ Ralph Waldo Emerson

"People become really quite remarkable when they start thinking that they can do things. When they believe in themselves they have the first secret of success."
~ Norman Vincent Peale

To have the determination to do things immediately is to ensure success. The one slogan that is good to remember is 'Now or never'. If we are not able to use the thought we have immediately we will never be able to, because the strength of the thought begins to gradually reduce till it doesn't seem important anymore. Also there might not be enough time for it in the future. Let us first think of something that we want to do and take a thought, "if I do it now it will happen or it can never happen." When we think in this way we will not postpone but do what is required immediately.
~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

I've got dreams, of course I've got dreams.'
Then they put the box away and bring it out once in awhile to look in it,
and yep, they're still there.

These are great dreams, but they never even get out of the box.
It takes an uncommon amount of guts to put your dreams on the line,
to hold them up and say, 'How good or how bad am I?'
That's where courage comes in."
~ Erma Bombeck

Wisdom is knowing what to do next,

the best we can.
~ William Feather

Kindness is the sunshine in which virtue grows.
~ Ingersoll

The one who considers himself as a server is the one who can remains stable in all situations. In all that we do, if we have the consciousness of being a server i.e., the one who is available for bringing benefit to those around us in one way or the other, we can be stable. When we have this consciousness, we would naturally have no expectations either from people or situations and we will be stable. Each day it is necessary for us to take the thought that each person we meet should take something (even if it is a good wish) from us and no one should go away empty-handed. When we do this, we will be able to be free from expectations and we can naturally be stable.
~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Just like a diamond never needs to prove but its sparkle is its proof of the value it has. When we work with our specialties with sincerity, then we will never give excuses or have expectations, but use every situation as an opportunity to express our qualities. If we ever find ourselves giving excuses for our wrong or negative behaviour or words, we need to remind ourselves of the goodness and specialties that we have. When we do this, we will be sincere for the use of our qualities under all circumstances.

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Inspiring Thoughts Can Change Your Life

When someone does something good, applaud!
You will make two people happy.
~ Samuel Goldwyn


"Learn to enjoy every minute of your life.
Be happy now.
Don't wait for something outside of yourself to make you happy in the future.
Think how really precious is the time you have to spend, whether it's at work
or with your family.
Every minute should be enjoyed and savored."
~ Earl Nightingale


We should have courage to work on the self is to find the beauty within. Situations come that challenge one's own strength. At such times the mind tends to become weak displaying weaknesses. Then there is no courage to look within. The one who is able to be introspective at that time is able to find a new learning. He is thus able to express the beauty that is lying within. When we understand that at each step of our life, situations come to bring out some quality from within, we'll never be afraid of situations. We'll have the courage to challenge our own assumptions and move forward based on the learning that we get and the beauty that we have been able to discover.
~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

GREAT Thought...

We are made to travel life's journey hand in hand.

Remember To Hang On To One Another!

Lesson Of Courage

After Dr. David Livingstone had begun his now famous missionary work in Africa, a certain group wrote the great pioneer and asked: "Have you found a good road to where you are? If so, please advise. We'd like to send others to assist you."

Dr. Livingstone sent this reply: "If you have those who will come only if they know there is a good road, I don't want them. I want individuals who are strong and courageous -- those who will come if there is no road at all!"

What a lesson in courage!

Courage is performing the task that would be easier not to do.

It's moving out on faith, when you know full well the risks and the pitfalls that will challenge you.

It's marching ahead, blazing a new trail where there are no roads, and sometimes no maps to guide you.

It's what Winners do...

Uplifting Future Quotes Of The Day

"My interest is in the future,
Because I'm going to be spending the rest of my life there."
~ Charles Kettering

We usually blame our fortune when something goes wrong. We either feel it to be unjust or we tend to curse our past actions, which have brought us this fate. To curse past actions is to lose the present moment too. Instead of cursing our past actions, we need to make the most of the present. Whatever we do today, we get the fruit of it right now and for the future too. So we need to pay attention to do the right actions always and create the best fortune for ourselves.
~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

"Only those who will risk going too far
Can possibly find out how far one can go."

"There will come a time when you believe everything
is finished. That will be the beginning."
~ Louis L'Amour

Introversion enables one to experience progress. When we are introverted we will be able to check ourselves and progress. Introversion gives us the power to see our own mistake, however small it might be. With the recognition of the mistake comes the power to bring about a change and there is an experience of progress. We remind ourselves that with each mistake that happens, we actually get a chance to learn. When something goes wrong we don't have to feel disheartened but, take it as a learning for our future. This understanding gives us the experience of constant progress whatever the circumstances might be.
~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

The 7 Prosperity & Happiness Quotes

1. Life's Little Instructions- "Drink champagne for no reason at all. Live your life as an exclamation, not an explanation. Don't be afraid to say, "I made a mistake."

Excellence is Drive from "Inside"

A gentleman was once visiting a temple under construction. In the temple premises, he saw a sculptor making an idol of God. Suddenly he saw, just a few meters away, another identical idol was lying. Surprised he asked the sculptor, do you need two statutes of the same idol. No said the sculptor. We need only one, but the first one got damaged at the last stage.

The gentleman examined the sculptor. No apparent damage was visible. Where is the damage asked the gentleman? There is a scratch on the nose of the idol. Where are you going to keep the idol? The sculptor replied that it would be installed on a pillar 20 feet high.

When the idol will be 20 feet away from the eyes of the beholder, who is going to know that there is scratch on the nose? The gentleman asked. The sculptor looked at the gentleman, smiled and said "The God knows it and I know it".

The desire to excel should be exclusive of the fact whether someone appreciates it or not. Excellence is a drive from "inside" not "outside". Excel at a task today...not necessarily for someone else to notice but for your own satisfaction.

Self Motivational Thought

When someone tells you that you can't do something

Look around

Consider all options

Then GO for it!

Use all the things God gave you!

Be creative!

In the end, you will succeed and prove them wrong!

Always remember -

"When there is a will, there is a way"

"A hero is an ordinary individual who finds the strength to persevere and endure in spite of overwhelming obstacles."
~ Christopher Reeve

"Be not afraid of life. Believe that life is worth living,
and your belief will help you create the fact."
~ William James

INSIGHT...

It seems to be a common mistake that people want to wait
until 'things are good' before feeling happy, or satisfied.

When you consider the fact that there are many people in
the World in much worse situations who are happy, this
mistake becomes apparent.

Our old enemy pessimism is a biased way of thinking. If you
are going to consider all the negatives about a situation,
you are lying to yourself if you do not also consider the
possible positives.

Negativity can become a habit, and one that comes naturally
to human beings. But balanced thinking can become a habit
too, even if it requires a bit more practice.

Commitment Make You Clear & Pure From Inside

I believe life is constantly testing us for our level of commitment, and life's greatest rewards are reserved for those who demonstrate a never-ending commitment to act until they achieve. This level of resolve can move mountains, but it must be constant and consistent. As simplistic as this may sound, it is still the common denominator separating those who live their dreams from those who live in regret.
~ Anthony Robbins

When there is commitment to make oneself clear and pure from inside, there is the ability to recognize and remove all that is waste and unnecessary. There is honesty and sincerity with oneself and every step is taken to remove all that is not good. When there is the ability to do that, there is an ability also to become a mirror for others to see their own perfection. To keep myself free from negativity means to see my own inner perfection. I am not caught up with my visible negativity, but am able to connect to my inner qualities. I am honest with myself and am able to work for my own inner growth.
~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

There are countless ways of attaining greatness, but any road to reaching one's maximum potential must be built on a bedrock of respect for the individual, a commitment to excellence, and a rejection of mediocrity.
~ Buck Rodgers

The quality of a person's life is in direct proportion to their commitment to excellence, regardless of their chosen field of endeavor.
~ Vince Lombardi

We usually look for happiness in all that we do. Unless there is an experience of attainment or visible fruit seen, we are not inspired to do the task. With such an attitude, although we do experience happiness for some time, we do not find it long lasting. Real and permanent happiness comes from our commitment towards our aim. When we are focused on that, the little things that we have to do which don't give us immediate happiness or which are difficult for us, don't stop us. We continue to move forward with happiness towards our aim.
~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Inspired by These Words of Wisdom!

1. There is no doubt in my mind that there are many ways to be a winner, but there is really only one way to be a loser and that is to fail and not look beyond the failure
~ Kyle Rote Jr

2. Most of the times we do manage to win over our weaknesses and achieve progress but sometimes we find that we are defeated at the wrong moment by our own weaknesses and thus experience failure. So instead of experiencing progress it is sometimes the case that we find ourselves moving back. In order to bring benefit to others and to ourselves, we should recognise and remove even the last trace of weakness that is working within ourselves. For that we need to have a constant checking about the real cause of the weakness and remove it. Such checking and changing helps me to overcome my weaknesses.
~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu

3. The difference between greatness and mediocrity is often how an individual views a mistake
~ Nelson Boswell

4. Errors become mistakes when we perceive them and respond to them incorrectly.
Mistakes become failures when we continually respond to them incorrectly.

5. Failure is really a matter of conceit. People don't work hard because in their conceit, they imagine they'll succeed without ever making an effort. Most people believe taht they'll wake up some day and find themselves rich. Actually, they got it half right, because eventually they do wake up.
~ Thomas Edison

6. Great minds have purposes; others have wishes.
Little minds are subdued by misfortunes; but great minds rise above them
~ Washington Irving

7. When involved in something new, there is usually more fear for our failure than there is faith in success. So although we put in sufficient efforts towards achieving the target, we are not able to experience success. This fear neither makes us give our best to the task, nor does it ensure our success in anyway. We need to maintain the faith in our mind first about our own success. Because if we think in our mind that we have failed, we have failed even before we have actually attempted the task. What we need is a constant experience of success in the mind, which makes us increase the speed and intensity of our efforts.
~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu

Happiness Is The Present Moment....Enjoy Your Present Moment!!!

The gift of time that can always bring us happiness is the present moment. In remembrance of God and full consciousness of the present we have power over time. We have determination to say " I will do it now". There is no telling what time is going to bring. No knowing what will happen in the next moment. No guarantee for life. So to live each moment with all accounts settled, all duties done, everything completed is to truly live in this moment now. The ever-present company of God reminds us to make the best use of the present.
~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu

Yesterday is but a dream, and tomorrow is only a vision,
but today well lived makes every yesterday a dream of
happiness and every tomorrow a vision of hope.
~ unknown

Happiness comes of the capacity to feel deeply, to enjoy
simply, to think freely, to risk life, to be needed.
~ Storm Jameson

Happiness is not a station you arrive at, but a manner of traveling.
~ Margaret B. Runbeck

To find reasons to be happy is to increase happiness. When the mind searches for reasons to be sad and sorrowful, even situations with no great significance are seen with a vision of negativity. So there is constantly an expression of words and actions that reflect the need for sympathy and reassurance. On the other hand, when there is the search for happiness, then everything is positive giving happiness. It is like wearing coloured glasses. Whatever colour my glasses are, the whole world is coloured with it. Then, I am no longer able to perceive and recognize negativity and I am able to remain happy with everything.
~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu

It is not length of life, but depth of life.
~ Ralph Waldo Emerson

Make Your Thoughts Positive with Inspiring Quotes

"Be kind and merciful.
Let no one ever come to you without coming away better and happier."
~ Mother Teresa

To be sincere in removing weaknesses is to have the power to overcome them. While it is important to recognize strengths, it is also important to recognize and acknowledge weaknesses. With honesty, when we understand our weaknesses, with sincerity we are able to work towards overcoming them. We are then able to find the right method too. Let us take a positive thought connected to our weakness and remind ourselves of that thought at least 5 times a day. For example,if our weakness is anger, let us remind ourselves of our inherent peace with thoughts like - "I am a being of peace, peace is inherent within me." When we practice sincerely with this we find that strength emerges finishing weakness (peace emerges finishing anger).
~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Remember the five simple rules to be happy:

1. Free your heart from hatred.
2. Free your mind from worries.
3. Live simply.
4. Give more.
5. Expect less.

Learn from the past...
Hope for the future...
Live in the present.
~ Ken Lancaster

No one knows about your honesty or integrity unless you give them examples of it.

There is a little difference in people, but that little difference makes a big difference. That little difference is attitude. The big difference is whether it is positive or negative.
~ W. Clement Stone

Character is doing the right thing when no one is watching.
~ J. C. Watts

To make thoughts as pure as the actions is to be truly elevated. There is usually attention on the self not to perform any negative acts. There is also considerable attention not to speak any words that are harmful or negative. But very rarely is there that attention on the thoughts. Because of this a lot of negative thoughts tend to remain in the intellect causing trouble for me. I need to understand the fact that my thoughts form the basis for my words and actions. The more I pay attention to make my thoughts positive, the more it will have a positive impact on my words and actions too.
~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Confidence Is Key To Success !!!

With confidence, you can reach truly amazing heights; without confidence, even the simplest accomplishments are beyond your grasp.
~ Jim Loehr

One important key to success is self-confidence. An important key to self-confidence is preparation.
~ Arthur Ashe

Confidence is having faith in someone or something. It means you trust that you have what it takes to handle whatever happens. It brings the strength to try new things. I practice confidence when I learn my own strengths and weaknesses, when I practice until I master something, when I am willing to try new things, when I am free from worries.
~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

If you have no confidence in self, you are twice defeated in the race of life. With confidence, you have won even before you have started.
~ Marcus Garvey

Confidence doesn't come out of nowhere. It's a result of something... hours and days and weeks and years of constant work and dedication.
~ Roger Staubach

The ones who have faith are able to believe in succeeding even in the most difficult circumstances. They will never say "I will try to do it" but their words reflect the confidence, which make them say, "I will do it". They are able to make best use of the available resources and also find yet undiscovered resources. When I am able to work with faith and believe in the success of a task, I'll naturally fill it with positive and powerful vibrations. This naturally ensures that the task is successful. Also people provide maximum support, as I am totally committed and confident.
~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Make The Right Decisions at the Right Time

Opportunity knocks at the strangest times,
It's not the time that matters But how you answer the door.
~ Steve Gray

"Time is a companion that goes with us on a journey.
It reminds us to cherish each moment, because it will never come again. What we leave behind is not as important as how we have lived."
~ Captain Jean-Luc Picard

"Life is all about timing... the unreachable becomes reachable, the unavailable become available, the unattainable... attainable. Have the patience; wait it out. It's all about timing."
~ Unknown

The time to repair the roof is when the sun is shining.
~ John F. Kennedy

The benefit attained from meditation is the "incarnation of economy". This means that you have clarity of thought and have the ability to make the right decisions at the right time in every situation. When you make the right decisions consistently, then you achieve all your spiritual goals, desires and objectives with minimum energy. This means that you experience the greatest splendor with minimum expenditure. There is very little or minimum wastage of time, efforts and resources. Clarity of thought therefore is the ability to do the right things the very first time and never have to repeat things. To repeat things is very costly in time, money, resources and loss of opportunities. When you achieve the things that are under your control with minimum energy, then you are contented and where there is contentment there is happiness.

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Move Forward with Motivational Thoughts!!!

"It's never too late to be what you might have been"
~ George Eliot

"Life consists not in holding good cards,
but in playing those you hold well."

"Every lucky happening and every lucky break are little gifts from God
above that are ours to freely take."
~ Helen Steiner Rice

"Remember, a kind and thoughtful deed
or a hand outstretched in a time of need is the rarest of gifts,
for it is a part, not of the purse, but a loving heart."
~ Helen Steiner Rice

A foolish person knows their strengths,
a wise person acknowledges their weaknesses
and makes allowances for them,
while a godly person seeks to overcome them.

"Our plans may be interrupted by storms, but God's plans never are.
In fact, the storm is part of His plan.
If we don't abandon ship, the winds of God will blow us right
where we belong--no matter how off course we feel."
~ Ron Hutchcraft

Success Based on Great Common Sense

"If you start to think the problem is `out there,' stop yourself.
That thought is the problem."
~ Stephen Covey

The successful man will profit from his mistakes and try again in a different way.
~ Dale Carnegie

"You were Made For Success - created for a unique and magnificent destiny!
Your future is limited only by the boundaries of your dreams and ideas and the size of your heart. Imagine for yourself a life of total success and happiness.
Dream the extraordinary!
Pursue your passion with faith and tenacity and you will bring that destiny into reality."
~ Chris Widener

My success was not based so much on any great intelligence but on great common sense.
~ Helen Gurley Brown

To have the determination to do things immediately is to ensure success. The one slogan that is good to remember is 'Now or never'. If we are not able to use the thought we have immediately we will never be able to, because the strength of the thought begins to gradually reduce till it doesn't seem important anymore. Also there might not be enough time for it in the future. Let us first think of something that we want to do and take a thought, "if I do it now it will happen or it can never happen." When we think in this way we will not postpone but do what is required immediately.

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Keep Your Energies Focused Towards The Goal.

Goals are the barriers that limit our ability to reach our true potential.
- David V. Ellison

Live your life each day as you would climb a mountain. An occasional glance towards the summit keeps the goal in mind, but many beautiful scenes are to be observed from each new vantage point.
- Harold B. Melchart

You are never too old to set another goal or to dream a new dream.
- Les Brown

Have the courage and the wisdom and the vision to raise a definite standard that will appeal to the best that is in man, and then strive mightily toward that goal.
- Harold E. Stassen

Difficulties increase the nearer we approach the goal.
- Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe.

While moving towards my destination, I tend to get distracted with even the little things that happen. Even a small negative or positive incident is enough to distract my thoughts from my destination. I am sometimes so busy with such things that my vision moves away from my destination and I stop moving forward. I need to first clarify my goal. Once I have done this, I need to take care that my vision is focused on it. Even when situations come by, trying to distract me I need to remind myself that these are only side-scenes, which are not important for me. It is more important to keep my energies focused towards the goal.

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Motivate Yourself with Positive Thoughts

One must learn by doing the thing, for though you think you know it, you have no certainty until you try.
- Aristotle

The world is divided into people who do things and people who get the credit. Try, if you can, to belong to the first class. There's far less competition.
- Dwight Morrow

You will have to take charge of the whole movement, not as a leader, but as a servant. Do you know, the least show of leading destroys everything by rousing jealousy?
- Swami Vivekananda

Patience is passion tamed.
- Lyman Abbott

No one can make you feel inferior without your consent.
- Eleanor Roosevelt

No pleasure philosophy, no sensuality, no place nor power, no material success can for a moment give such inner satisfaction as the sense of living for good purposes, for maintenance of integrity, for the preservation of self-approval.
- Minot Simons

An inner power needed to make accurate decisions is the power to tolerate. Tolerance is not about having to put up with or endure. It's about respect for difference. It is about being able to appreciate diversity, the beauty in that diversity and difference. We need confidence to allow others to do what they are doing. Rigidity is a sign of lack of self-confidence and self-respect. It is better to have peace with someone than to have 100 percent perfection and tension. The quality of interaction comes from our ability to stop (that is not to be affected or influenced by what the other is doing). When I learn to stop, then I become more perceptive of the situation and am able to do make the right decision.
- Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

High Achievers Plan Their Work & Work Their Plan

If we are facing in the right direction, all we have to do is keep on walking.
- Buddhist Proverb

All high achievers plan their work and work their plan, for they are keenly aware that "luck" is most often being prepared to take advantage of a situation.
- Unknown

We learn wisdom from failure much more than from success.
We often discover what will do by finding out what will not do;
and probably he who nevër made a mistake nevër made a discovery.
- Samuel Smiles

Do the thing you fear to do and keep on doing it...
that is the quickest and surest way ever yet discovered to conquer fear.
-Dale Carnegie

What is now proved was once only imagined.
- William Blake

Have the courage and the wisdom and the vision to raise a definite
standard that will appeal to the best that is in man, and then strive
mightily toward that goal.
- Harold E. Stassen

Great Inspirational Thoughts

Right actions for the future are the best apologies for wrong ones in the past.
- Tyron Edwards

"If you want others to be happy, practice compassion. If you want to be happy, practice compassion."
- The Dalai Lama

Forgiveness is all-powerful. Forgiveness heals all ills.
- Catherine Ponder

Self-restraint is a manifestation of greater power than all outgoing action. ... All outgoing energy following a selfish motive is frittered away; it will not cause power to return to you. But if restrained, it will result in development of power. This self-control will tend to produce a mighty will, a character which makes a Christ or a Buddha. Fools do not know this secret; they nevertheless want to rule mankind.
- Swami Vivekanand

"The principles you live by create the world you live in; if you change the principles you live by, you will change your world."

- Mahatma Gandhi

“There is no moment like the present. The man who will not execute his resolutions when they are fresh upon him can have no hope from them afterwards: they will be dissipated, lost, and perish in the hurry and scurry of the world, or sunk in the slough of indolence. “
- Maria Edgeworth

What a man is contributes much more to his happiness
than what he has, or how he is regarded by others.

Always do your best, and forget the rest. When things go
wrong, just remember this to shall pass.

"When your ready to give up on someone, remember why you held on."
- Anonymous

"Procrastination is the seed of self-destruction."
- Matthew Burton

Realize Your Potential

A certain man planted a rose and watered it faithfully and before it blossomed, he examined it.

He saw the bud that would soon blossom, but noticed thorns upon the stem and he thought, "How can any beautiful flower come from a plant burdened with so many sharp thorns? Saddened by this thought, he neglected to water the rose, and just before it was ready to bloom... it died.

So it is with many people. Within every soul there is a rose. The God-like qualities planted in us at birth, grow amid the thorns of our faults. Many of us look at ourselves and see only the thorns, the defects.

We despair, thinking that nothing good can possibly come from us. We neglect to water the good within us, and eventually it dies. We never realize our potential.

Some people do not see the rose within themselves; someone else must show it to them. One of the greatest gifts a person can possess is to be able to reach past the thorns of another, and find the rose within them.

This is one of the characteristic of love... to look at a person, know their true faults and accepting that person into your life... all the while recognizing the nobility in their soul. Help others to realize they can overcome their faults. If we show them the "rose" within themselves, they will conquer their thorns. Only then will they blossom many times over.

Begin to See Yourself .....

Begin Again
by: Collin McCarty, Source Unknown

One of the best things we can do in our lives is this:
Begin again.

Begin to see yourself as you were
When you were the happiest and strongest you've ever been.

Begin to remember what worked for you
(and what worked against you),
And try to capture the magic again.

Begin to remember how natural it was when you were a child --
To live a lifetime each day.

Begin to forget the baggage you have carried with you
For years:
The problems that don't matter anymore,
The tears that cried themselves away,
And the worries that are going to wash away
On the shore of tomorrow's new beginnings.

Tomorrow tells us it will be here every new day of our lives;
And if we will be wise,
We will turn away from the problems of the past
And give the future -- and ourselves -- a chance
To become the best of friends.
Sometimes all it takes is a wish in the heart to let yourself ..
Begin again.
