Special Quotes on Beauty
Goodness is a special kind of truth and beauty.
It is truth and beauty in human behavior.
~ H. A. Overstreet
Beauty, truth, friendship, love, creation – these are the
great values of life. We can’t prove them, or explain them,
yet they are the most stable things in our lives.
~ Jesse Herman Holmes
To appreciate variety is to harmonise. When there is recognition that each human being is unique with his own unique set of capabilities, there is the ability to respect him for what he is. Then all attempts are made to harmonise with him instead of trying to make him just like oneself. So energy is channelised in the right direction and one becomes an inspiration for others too. To appreciate variety means to see the beauty and specialities of each and every individual. It means to appreciate the natural positive qualities in everyone and learn to blend our own qualities with theirs. This gives us the satisfaction of the beauty of relationships, because there are no expectations and no disappointments.
~ Bramha Kumaris, Mt. Abu
Beautiful things are secured with most difficulty.
~ Proverb, (Latin)
Beauty comes with a price, though it turns heads without lifting a finger.
~ Rosie Cash
The beauty of the soul shines out when a man bears with composure one heavy mischance after another, not because he does not feel them, but because he is a man of high and heroic temper.
~ Aristotle
To have positive elevated thoughts for the self is to be a well-wisher. To have positive thoughts for the self is to become a well-wisher. A well wisher means the one who fills hope in the one who is without hope. Such a person is able to fill even weak ones with his own treasures of pure thoughts and helps them move forward. When we are constantly busy with good thoughts for our own self-progress, then we automatically have good wishes for others too. We enjoy the beauty of each moment and help others too to do that. We are able to give the leg of support to the lame and become instrumental in others' progress.

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.

Beautiful Inspiring Quotes
Mistakes are a fact of life.
It is the response to error that counts.
~ Nikki Giovanni
The mind has exactly the same power as the hands
-- not merely to grasp the world, but to change it.
~ Colin Wilson
Artistic creativity is a whirlpool of imagination
that swirls in the depths of the mind.
~ Robert Toth
One should count each day a separate life.
~ Lucius Annaeus Seneca
Continuous effort - not strength or intelligence - is the key to unlocking our potential.
~ Sir Winston Churchill
The key to responsibility is self-respect. When anything goes wrong, an individual is not willing to take the responsibility for his own choice. Instead it becomes very convenient for him to blame others for the mistake. Lack of self-respect abstains one to take the responsibility for the choice that he has made. So his words and actions reflect excuses and justifications. When we have self-respect and are able to maintain our inner positive consciousness, we are able to continue having this consciousness wherever we are, and are able to feel the ease of accepting the consequences of our actions. We are able to learn from everything that happens in our life, having taken the responsibility of our actions.

Motivational Sentences
You are one of a kind
Move away from the need to compare yourself to others.
And you will move rapidly toward higher and higher levels of effectiveness and fulfillment.
Many of the things you see as limitations and deficiencies in your own life are not really limitations at all. They're created in your imagination when you compare yourself to others.
Don't waste your time focusing on what others have that you don't have.
Instead, put your time and energy into making the most of the unique and
valuable knowledge, skills and resources that you do have available to you.
Don't allow your energy to be drained away by worrying about
what others will think. Simply be your authentic best, and keep in mind that
what anyone else thinks about you is not your concern.
It's great when you can learn from others, find joy in being with others,
and cooperate with others to achieve mutually beneficial results. Just
don't allow your life to become bogged down by constantly comparing its
details with the lives of those around you.
You are one of a kind. The more completely you celebrate and fulfill that
reality, the more satisfying and rewarding life will be.

A Chance To Start
How often we wish for another chance to make a fresh begining.
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.
DO WHAT YOUR HEART TELLS :
Many times in life, whether a thing is worth doing or not, really depends on how you look at it.
Take up all your courage and do something your heart tells you to do so that you may not regret not doing it later in your life…
THE WORLD IS FOLLOWING YOU :
One day you might see yourself walking alone on a new path.
No one seems in sight. No one seems to have walked it earlier.
Don’t give up midway. You’re on a right track.
Go on. Reach your dreams.

The road will be dark; and you might not know the way,
Yet, with the goal in sight; be certain you won't stray.

Keep your eyes upon the goal, keep it always in your sight.
It will help you don the crooked road, and lead you to the light.

No man can climb out beyond the limitations of his own character.
~ Viscount John Morley
When we build, let us think that we build for ever.
~ John Ruskin
I enjoy every opportunity and live every moment. And that is why I have no regrets.
It's when you are not scared of losing that you win everything.
~ Shailendra Singh
Don't be afraid to give your best to what seemingly are small jobs. Every time you conquer one it makes you that much stronger. If you do the little jobs well, the big ones tend to take care of themselves.

Focus On Self !!!
Some of us waste our time waiting for people to live to our expectations.
We are so concerned about what others are doing that we don’t do anything ourselves.
Its not so important what others are upto; compared to what you are doing.
Focus on what you do, your work; Not on others.

Love is like Magic
Love is like magic
And it always will be.
For love still remains
Life's sweet mystery!
Love works in ways
That are wondrous and strange
And there's nothing in life
That love cannot change!
Love can transform
The most commonplace
Into beauty and splendor
And sweetness and grace
Love is unselfish,
Understanding and kind,
For it sees with it's heart
And not with it's mind!
Love is the answer
That everyone seeks....
Love is the language,
That every heart speaks.
Love can't be bought,
It is priceless and free,
Love, like pure magic,
Is life's sweet mystery!

Train Of Life
Some folks ride the train of life
Looking out the rear,
Watching miles of life roll by,
And marking every year.
They sit in sad remembrance,
Of wasted days gone by,
And curse their life for what it was,
And hang their head and cry.
But I don’t concern myself with that,
I took a different vent,
I look forward to what life holds,
And not what has been spent.
So strap me to the engine,
As securely as I can be,
I want to be out on the front,
To see what I can see.
I want to feel the winds of change,
Blowing in my face,
I want to see what life unfolds,
As I move from place to place.
I want to see what’s coming up,
Not looking at the past,
Life’s too short for yesterdays,
It moves along too fast.
So if the ride gets bumpy,
While you are looking back,
Go up front, and you may find,
Your life has jumped the track.
It’s all right to remember,
That’s part of history,
But up front’s where it’s happening,
There’s so much mystery.
The enjoyment of living,
Is not where we have been,
It’s looking ever forward,
To another year and ten.
It’s searching all the byways,
Never should you refrain,
For if you want to live your life,
You gotta drive the train.

Dreams
Dreams are a big part of our Lives
and You must do whatever it takes
to make them a Reality;
by the plans you make,
the course you take,
and the things you do.
Don't dwell on past mistakes.
Leave yesterday behind,
along with all it's problems,
worries and doubts.
Realize you can't change the past,
but you can start a new tomorrow.
Don't try to do everything at once;
take one step at a time,
Don't ever be afraid to try the Impossible
no matter what others may think.
Remember you are Unique
in your own special way.
Don't ever stop Dreaming!
Don't ever stop wanting what's right for you!
To dream anything that you want to dream,
that is the beauty of the human mind.
To do anything that you want to do,
that is the strength of the human will.
To trust yourself, to test your limits,
that is the courage to succeed."

Heart Touching Quotes
God picked up a flower, dipped it in dew
lovingly touched it, which turned into you
he gifted it to me & said this friend is for you.
==========================================
I have realized that
Words had hurt me more than
The wounds I had suffered in life
==========================================
I have realized that
Tears convey more than
What words can ever say
==========================================
No person deserves your tears,
and who deserves them
won't make you cry.
==========================================
Your Smile and laugh just warms my heart
I felt this feeling from the start
This warmth I want to feel again
and I will make you happy anyway I can
So I hope this note I am sending your way
will make you smile and have a happy day.

Positive Thoughts
WHAT YOU DID
The world will provide you with stones everyday.
What you build out of it, is your choice...
Wall, Road or a Bridge...
You may even choose to do nothing.
At the end, world will know you by what you did with it.
SEASONS OF LIFE
Life at any time can become difficult.
Life at any time can become easy.
Good or Bad, they are seasons of life.
It all depends upon, how you take on life and adjust to these seasons.
LEADING YOU TO LIGHT
The road will be dark; and you might not know the way,
Yet, with the goal in sight; be certain you won't stray.
It will give you all the strength; and will take you through.
Keep your eyes upon the goal, keep it always in your sight.
It will help you don the crooked road, and lead you to the light.
YOU HAVE EVERYTHING
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.
DEVOTE YOURSELF
So many people walk around with a meaningless life.
They seem half-sleep, even when they're busy
doing things they think are important.
This is because they're chasing the wrong things.
The way you get meaning into your life
is to devote yourself to loving others,
devote yourself to your community around you,
and devote yourself to creating something
that gives you purpose and meaning.

Take the High Road
Finally, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. And the God of peace will be with you. Philippians 4:8-9
The guide book said it was an easy hike around the lake, where the flat path hugged the water's edge. It was going to take longer this day, because I had to stop every few feet, it seemed, for another breathtaking view in the late afternoon light.
Rounding a bend, the path began to lean upward. Within minutes the fork in the road became visible.
The low road? The known path, The easy one. The high road? The unknown path. The intrigue and mystery of what's out there.
I found myself whistling an old ballad, "Oh! ye'll take the high road and I'll take the low road, and I'll be in Scotland afore ye". Decisions, decisions, hmmmm……..
I thought about forks in the road, spiritually-speaking. The Bible advises us to set our thoughts on things above, not below. I believe we need to set our goals high, rather than low; be challenged.
Actually, we always have a choice. My way, God's way. Seek the face of God, who gives us strength for the journey. Look to the Lord and his strength; seek his face always. (1 Chron 16:11)
The high road, God's way, always the better path. That is good news.

Dream
A dream is a seed
The seed of a tree
A tree full of life
And the things you can be
Your dreams are the windows
Through which you can see
A hint of your future
And the things you will be
Each night when you sleep
You're feeding the seed
The seed of the tree
Of who you will be...

Beautiful Thoughts.....
A person can make you feel high,
A person can make you feel low.
But only you can decide,
Which way you want to go.
A person can hurt you mentally,
A person can hurt you physically.
But only you can place,
A limit on your abilities.
A person can cause drama,
A person can cause a situation.
But only you can create,
Your own reputation.
A person can make you laugh,
A person can make you cry.
But only you can make,
Decisions for your life.
I guess what I'm trying to say,
That when you're living day to day.
Don't live by what people do,
But live by what you know is true

A True Smile
A smile shouldn't be taken lightly
Some smile all the time, politely
One thing for sure.
Some smile all the time, politely
One thing for sure.
A true smile is joy so pure
With a smile, joy is released from the soul
A process initiated at birth to console.
Every smile makes a soul stronger than before
Beware, do not let joy be ignored
If the joy is not let out with a true smile.
It will build up, for awhile
But after a bit it will spoil slow
Diminishing until it becomes pure sorrow.
Though sorrow is needed for a soul maturing
Pure sorrow may outlast a soul most enduring
When this happens a soul will become stronger.
Once decided it wants sorrow no longer
While smiling keep this in thought
And give all, this life lesson to be taught

Dare to Dream
Let nothing hold you back from
exploring your wildest fantasies,
wishes, and aspirations.
exploring your wildest fantasies,
wishes, and aspirations.
Don't be afraid to dream big
and to follow your dreams
wherever they may lead you.
Open your eyes to their beauty;
open your mind to their magic;
open your heart to their possibilities.
Dare to dream.
Whether they are in color
or in black and white,
whether they are big or small,
easily attainable or almost impossible,
look to your dreams,
and make them become reality.
Wishes and hopes are nothing
until you take the first step
towards making them something!
Dare to dream,
Because only by dreaming,
will you ever discover
who you are, what you want,
and what you can do.
Don't be afraid to take risks,
to become involved,
to make commitment.
Do whatever it takes to make
your dreams come true.
Always believe in miracles,
and always believe in you!

Empowering Motivational Quotes
You create your opportunities by asking for them.
~ Patty Hansen
Ideals are like stars; you will not succeed in touching them with
your hands, but like the seafaring man on the desert of waters, you choose
them as your guides, and following them, you reach your destiny.
~ Carl Schurz
The true secret of giving advice is, after you have honestly
given it, to be perfectly indifferent whether it is taken or not and never
persist in trying to set people right.
~ Hannah Whitall Smith
The interesting thing is that there are so few important decisions.
You don't have to go in the "right" direction. You don't have to enter the "right" business.
What you have to do is have made a decision as to what you're going to do
and then you just have to figure out how to succeed at it.
~ Ken Oshman
You don't always get what you ask for, but you never get what you
don't ask for... unless it's contagious!
~ Franklyn Broude

Best Inspirational Quotes
Friendship is always a sweet responsibility; never an opportunity.
~ Khalil Gibran (1883-1931)
Expect trouble as an inevitable part of life and repeat to
yourself the most comforting words of all: This, too, shall pass.
~ Ann Landers (1918-)
The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in
moments of comfort, but where he stands at times of
challenge and controversy.
~ Martin Luther King, Jr. (1929-1968)
If a boss demands loyalty, give him integrity.
But if he demands integrity, give him loyalty.
~ John Boyd (1927-1997)
The heritage of the past is the seed that brings forth
the harvest of the future.
~ National Archives building inscription
Love spreads positivity. The one who is loving is not limited by circumstances and his love is not restricted only to certain people. On the other hand, it is revealed in each and every act thus colouring everything and every relationship with the beauty of that love. To be loving is to be constantly a giver. It also means to forgive others easily and help them to move forward. When we are loving constantly, I are able to experience the joy of life. We are able to exchange the gifts of pure feelings and find our life enriched with them. We are able to enjoy the beauty of relationships without having to feel the bondage due to expectations. Each moment of our life is filled with beauty and joy.

This Is Life!
When there is no friend,
When life is on the dead end,
When world is not a paradise,
When your confidence dies,
Tell yourself - Go on, THIS IS LIFE!
When things don't go right,
When there is no ray of light,
And its too hard to survive,
Tell yourself - Go on, THIS IS LIFE!
When there is competition to face,
When you are lagging behind in the race,
When you've lost faith in God,
When you're betrayed by a fraud,
Tell yourself - Go on, THIS IS LIFE!
When others don't respect you,
When you're not amongst the admirable few,
When for a question, you can't find a solution,
When all you're sure about, is confusion,
Tell yourself - Go on, THIS IS LIFE!
When your destination is miles apart,
When you don't know where to start,
When all you see around is pain,
When your hardwork is in vain,
Tell yourself - Go on, THIS IS LIFE!
Even though all this happens
just have faith in self & face the life with smile,
Things will surely change one day
Because as said "THIS IS LIFE ... !

Real Vision
My friend Michelle is blind, but you'd never know it. She makes such good use of her other senses, including her "sixth sense" of intuition, that she rarely gives the impression she's missed anything.
Michelle parents her children pretty much like the rest of us, except that she doesn't sweat the small stuff. Her daughter, Sarah, six, and her son, Aaron, nine, really benefit from Michelle's relaxed attitude.
Once, Michelle told me that it sometimes bothered her that her children probably weren't dressed according to her taste. You see, she relies on her husband and her friends to choose clothes for them. But since friends and Daddy don't presume to know what the kids like, Sarah and Aaron often get to pick out their own clothes. But Michelle avoids any battles. As long as the clothes are clean and weather-appropriate, she doesn't make it an issue. And she trusts that, at six and nine, her children can tell if they are too hot or too cold.
Another area where Michelle rarely argues with her kids is in keeping the house clean. It isn't that Michelle doesn't know when there's a mess. She knows it's time to clean when she steps on crumbs or toys that have been left out. But in Michelle's house, the kids have learned to put their things away because it wouldn't just annoy their mother to have a mess, it could be dangerous for her. Indeed, Michelle moves around her house so fast that often guests don't realize she's blind.
I realized this the first time my six-year-old, Kayla, went to play there. When Kayla came home, she was very excited about her day. She told me they had baked cookies, played games and done art projects. But she was especially excited about her finger-painting project.
"Mom, guess what?" said Kayla, all smiles. "I learned how to mix colors today! Blue and red make purple, and yellow and blue make green! Isn't that neat? And Michelle painted with us. She said she liked the way the paint feelssquishing through her fingers."
Something about my child's excitement caught my attention, and I realized that I had never finger-painted with Kayla. I didn't like the mess. As a result, my child had learned about color from a blind friend. The irony made me sit down and take a look at my child and at myself.
Then Kayla said, "Michelle told me my picture showed joy, pride and a sense of accomplishment. She really saw what I was doing!" Kayla said she had never felt how good finger paints felt until Michelle showed her how to paint without looking at her paper. That's when I realized Kayla didn't know that Michelle was blind. It had just never come up in conversation.
When I told her, she was quiet for a moment. At first, she didn't believe me. "But Mommy, Michelle understood exactly what was in my picture!" Kayla insisted. And I knew my child was right because Michelle had listened to Kayla describe her artwork. Michelle had also heard Kayla's pride in her work, her wonder at her discovery of the way colors blend, and her delight in the texture of the medium.
We were silent for a minute. Then Kayla said slowly, "You know, Mommy, Michelle really did 'see' my picture. She just used my eyes."

I've never heard anyone refer to Michelle as handicapped. She isn't. Hers is a special type of "vision" that all mothers could use.

Empowering Quotes on Success
Success is the maximum utilization of the ability that you have.
~ Zig Ziglar, Motivational Speaker
Obstacles can't stop you. Problems can't stop you. Most of all, other people can't stop you. Only you can stop you.
~ Jeffrey Gitomer
Success is dependent upon the glands -- sweat glands.
~ Zig Ziglar
Success is a science; if you have the conditions, you get the result.
~ Oscar Wilde
People who consider themselves victims of their circumstances
will always remain victims unless they develop a greater vision for their lives.
~ Stedman Graham
Success is merely the process of fulfilling your own hopes and dreams--
not the standards set by society, but by the standards set by you."
~ George Pataki
Money and success don't change people;
they merely amplify what is already there.
~ Will Smith
Where there is faith there is victory. When someone has faith there are no doubts or questions about the self, others or situations. Faith also enables a person to see and understand simple things in life with a new understanding. It shows direction and courage to go on. When we have faith, we experience ourselves to be lucky and thus receive cooperation from many others. We would also be able to experience success at every step. There is then no worry and we are troubled less by aspects that keep changing around us. Our thoughts then would always be positive and we experience victory.

Life Teaches You Lessons
When life pushes you down, push back!
That's what you're here for.
You're capable, you're creative,
you're full of life and energy.
You have what it takes to move yourself forward
around any obstacle.
Don't let anything stop you.
Take strength from meeting the challenges,
and move ahead.
The struggles you face are just what you need
to fulfill your potential for greatness.
A year from now,
when you look back at today,
you'll see that the problem
you're so concerned with right now,
was another valuable lesson waiting to be learned.

Inspirational Poem
Do Not Quit
When things go wrong,
as they sometimes will,
When the road your trudging
Seems all uphill,
When the funds are low
And the debts are High ,
And you want to smile,
but you have to sigh,
When care is pressing you down a bit,
Rest if you must, but don't you quit.
Life is queer with it's twists an turns,
As everyone of us must sometimes learn,
And many a failure turns about,
When he might have won had he stuck it our,
Don't give up though the pace seems slow,
You may succeed with another blow.
Success is failure turned inside out,
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt,
And you can never tell how close you are,
It may be near when it seems so far,
So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit,
It's when things seem worst that you cannot quit.

You Are Unique....Keep Smiling
Don't be afraid to admit when you know you are wrong.
It is not a sign of weakness,
but shows character and responsibility.
Others will respect you for that.
Always do the right things,
even when everyone does as they please with no consideration for the feelings of others.
Never compromise your values and beliefs,
even if it means risking ridicule and rejection.
Be true to yourself.
Live your own life and don't allow others to decide what is best for you
If you do, you will be unhappy because you're untrue to yourself.
Refuse to run away from the things that scare you.
Confront these situations and overcome your fears so that you may grow as a person.
Don't compare yourself to others.
You are unique special being and therefore you should express your individuality.
Happiness keeps you Sweet, Trials keeps you Strong,
Sorrow keeps you Human, Failure Keeps you Humble,
Success keeps you Glowing,
But only God Keeps you Going

Beautiful Mother's Day Poem
As The Twig Is Bent
The child stood sadly looking down,
Staring at something on the ground.
Her mother's words were harsh and sharp;
She felt them tearing her apart.
The silent tears rolled down her cheek,
But still she stood, mute and meek.
She knew somehow she was rejected,
Although physically, she was not neglected.
She wasn't yet in her teens,
Just a tomboy, in blue jeans.
She had learned to live with pain;
Throughout her days, it would remain.
Again her mind wondered, "Why?"
Perhaps she'd know, by and by.
There must be something awfully wrong,
She guessed she'd known it all along.
Maybe it was her own plain looks,
She'd read of it in some books.
How to a mother of unusual beauty,
Her plain child might be an unwanted duty.
But her mother was so fair,
If there was any trouble there,
The fault must surely be her own,
Oh, how she wished that she was grown.
Then she would go away and hide,
While her heart just ached and cried.
Finally the hurting words had ceased,
From their cruel blows she was released.
So she turned and walked away,
She knew better than to stay.
In her room she closed her door,
And cried 'til she could cry no more.
Then she prepared herself for bed,
Washed her face, with eyes so red.
She wished her Mom would hug her tight.
And, just once, kiss her goodnight.
At last she crawled into her bed;
Silently, her prayers were said.
"Please, Lord, just let Mom love me,
And, oh, so good I'll always be."
The years have passed, the scene has changed,
Mother and daughter still remain.
The mother now is growing old,
The child, once warm, has grown so cold.
Somehow, the roles are now reversed,
The mother's last, The daughter's first,
The beauty, too, has been exchanged.
It seems that nature rearranged.
The child, now grown, has beauty fair,
There is none other to compare,
While the mother has grown old and gray,
Her loveliness has passed away.
The mother looks up at her now grown child,
And tries to please her, with a smile.
But the daughter coldly turns away,
She's much too busy to stop today.
Let the old lady sit awhile,
She's not about to change her style.
She walks out, with no good-bye,
And the old mother starts to cry.
Oh, if she could only just erase,
The coldness from her daughter's face.
If she'd just come and hug her tight,
And kiss her withered face goodnight.
If those lost years she could recall,
She'd live them over, one and all.
She'd give the love, she now so longs to get,
And then be rid of this regret.
But she knows, this can't be so.
Years don't come back, once they go.
So she must live with being spurned,
The things she taught, were so well learned.
So I leave you, with this thought:
Please take heed, lest you get caught.
Live long enough and you will see,
As the twig is bent, so grows the tree.

Special Mother's Day Poem
What Is A Mother?
A mother is someone to shelter and guide us,
To love us, whatever we do,
With a warm understanding and infinite patience
And wonderful gentleness, too.
How often a mother means swift reassurance
In soothing our small, childish fears,
How tenderly mothers watch over their children
And treasure them all through the years!
The heart of a mother is full of forgiveness
For any mistake, big or small,
And generous always in helping her family,
Whose needs she has placed above all.
A mother can utter a word of compassion
And make all our cares fall away,
She can brighten a home with the sound of her laughter
And make life delightful and gay.
A mother possesses incredible wisdom
And wonderful insight and skill -
In each human heart is that one special corner
Which only a mother can fill!

In each human heart is that one special corner
Which only a mother can fill!

Attractiveness
For attractive lips - Speak words of kindness.
For lovely eyes - Seek out the good in people.
For a slim figure - Share your food with the hungry.
For beautiful hair - Let a child run his or her fingers through it once a day.
For poise - Walk with the knowledge that you will never walk alone.
People, even more than things, have to be restored, renewed, revived,
reclaimed, and redeemed;
Never throw out anybody.
Remember, If you ever need a helping hand, you'll find one at the end of your arm.
As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands, one for helping yourself, the other for helping others.
The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears,
The figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair.
The beauty of a woman must be seen from in her eyes,
Because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides.
The beauty of a woman is not in a facial mole,
But true beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul.
It is the caring that she lovingly gives, the passion that she shows.
And the beauty of a woman, with passing years, only grows!

A Good Lesson
The train has started moving. It is packed with people of all ages, mostly with the working men and women and young college guys and gals. Near the window, seated a old man with his 30 year old son. As the train moves by, the son is overwhelmed with joy as he was thrilled with the scenery outside...
"See dad, the scenery of green trees moving away is very beautiful"
This behavior from a thirty year old son made the other people feel strange about him. Every one started murmuring something or other about this son. This guy seems to be a krack... newly married Anup whispered to his wife.
Suddenly it started raining... Rain drops fell on the travelers through the opened window. The Thirty year old son, filled with joy, see dad, how beautiful the rain is ..."
Anup's wife got irritated with the rain drops spoiling her new suit.
Anup," cant you see its raining, you old man, if your son is not feeling well get him soon to a mental asylum. and don't disturb public henceforth".
The old man hesitated first and then in a low tone replied " we are on the way back from hospital, my son got discharged today morning , he was a blind by birth, last week only he got his vision by a very kind person who wished to donate his eyes after his death. These rain and nature are new to my son's eyes.. Please forgive us for the inconvenience caused..."
Moral :
The things we see may be right from our perspective until we know the truth. But when we know the truth our reaction to that will hurt even us. So try to understand the problem better before taking a harsh action.
Always love people and use things, never love things and use people.

Positive Thinking - I Believe
I believe- That true friendship continues to grow, even over the longest distance. Same goes for true love.
I believe - That it's taking me a long time to become the person I want to be.
I believe- That my best friend and I can do anything or nothing and have the best time!
I believe- That sometimes the people you expect to kick you when you're down, will be the ones to help you get back up.
I believe- That just because someone doesn't love you the way you want them to doesn't mean they don't love you with all they have.
I believe- That maturity has more to do with what types of experiences you've had and what you've learned from them and less to do with how many birthdays you've celebrated.
I believe- That it isn't always enough to be forgiven by others. Sometimes you have to learn to forgive yourself.
I believe- That no matter how bad your heart is broken the world doesn't stop for your grief.
I believe- That our background and circumstances may have influenced who we are, but we are responsible for who we become.
I believe - That just because two people argue, it doesn't mean they don't love each other, And just because they don't argue, it doesn't mean they do.
I believe - That two people can look at the exact same thing and see something totally different.
I believe- That even when you think you have no more to give, when a friend cries out to you - you will find the strength to help.

The Sculptor's Attitude
I woke up early today, excited over all I get to do before the clock strikes midnight.
I have responsibilities to fulfill today. I am important. My job is to choose what kind of day I am going to have.
Today I can complain because the weather is rainy or...I can be thankful that the grass is getting watered for free.
Today I can feel sad that I don't have more money or...I can be glad that my finances encourage me to plan my purchases wisely and guide me away from waste.
Today I can grumble about my health or...I can rejoice that I am alive.
Today I can lament over all that my parents didn't give me when I was growing up or...I can feel grateful that they allowed me to be born.
Today I can cry because roses have thorns or...I can celebrate that thorns have roses.
Today I can mourn my lack of friends or ...I can excitedly embark upon a quest to discover new relationships.
Today I can whine because I have to go to work or...I can shout for joy because I have a job to do.
Today I can complain because I have to go to school or...eagerly open my mind and fill it with rich new tidbits of knowledge.
Today I can murmur dejectedly because I have to do housework or...I can feel honored because the Lord has provided shelter for my mind, body and soul.
Today stretches ahead of me, waiting to be shaped.
And here I am, the sculptor who gets to do the shaping.
What today will be like is up to me.
I get to choose what kind of day I will have!

Our Inner Voice
Trials one another
lead us directions
that we need learning
to make some corrections.
Time after time
and day after day
trials come bestowing
another which way.
They're one another
of which they each show
lessons through trials
of which way to go,
but if we don't listen
to our inner voice
we will again then
make a bad choice.
Of course we will error
sometimes and agin,
but it's those errors
that'll help you to win.

Look For The Essence
An instance is many
and also so few
when many instances
come and accrue.
Maybe the instances
might in a way
simulate beginnings
in different array.
For in an instance
the time might bestow
lesser of minutes
that ones truly know.
Yet in an instance
ones also could see
lessons concluding
to you and to me.
An instance for many
might not be so true
for they might not know
what they are to do.
So if an instance
is displaying some signs
look for the essence
to make better times.

Focus On Self
Some of us waste our time waiting for people
to live to our expectations.
We are so concerned about what others are doing
that we don’t do anything ourselves.
Its not so important what others are upto;
compared to what you are doing.
Focus on what you do, your work; Not on others.

Motivational Poem - Hope
If you can look at the sunset and smile,
then you still have hope.
If you can find beauty in the colors of a small flower,
then you still have hope.
If you can find pleasure in the movement of a butterfly,
then you still have hope.
If the smile of a child can still warm your heart,
then you still have hope.
If you can see the good in other people,
then you still have hope.
If the rain breaking on a roof top can still lull you to sleep,
then you still have hope.
If the sight of a rainbow still makes you stop and stare in wonder,
then you still have hope.
If the soft fur of a favored pet still feels pleasant under your fingertips,
then you still have hope.
If you meet new people with a trace of excitement and optimism,
then you still have hope.
If you give people the benefit of a doubt,
then you still have hope.
If you still offer your hand in friendship to others that have touched your life,
then you still have hope.
If receiving an unexpected card or letter still brings a pleasant surprise,
then you still have hope.
If the suffering of others still fills you with pain and frustration,
then you still have hope.
If you refuse to let a friendship die, or accept that it must end,
then you still have hope.
If you look forward to a time or place of quiet and reflection,
then you still have hope.
If you still buy the ornaments, put up the Christmas tree or cook the turkey,
then you still have hope.
If you still watch love stories or want the endings to be happy,
then you still have hope.
If you can look to the past and smile,
then you still have hope.
If, when faced with the bad, when told everything is futile,
you can still look up and end the conversation with the phrase...
"yeah....BUT.." then you still have hope.
Hope is such a marvelous thing. It bends, it twists, it sometimes hides,
but rarely does it break. It sustains us when nothing else can.
It gives us reason to continue and courage to move ahead,
when we tell ourselves we'd rather give in.
Hope puts a smile on our face when the heart cannot manage.
Hope puts our feet on the path when our eyes cannot see it.
Hope moves us to act when our souls are confused of the direction.
Hope is a wonderful thing, something to be cherished
and nurtured, and something that will refresh us in return.
And it can be found in each of us, and it can bring
light into the darkest of places.
Never lose hope.

Follow Your Dream
Follow your dream…
Take one step at a time and don’t settle for less.
Just continue to climb.
Follow your dream…
If you stumble, don’t stop and lose sight of your goal.
Press to the top.
For only on top can we see the whole view
Can we see what we’ve done and what we can do
Can we then have the vision to seek something new
Press on.
Follow your dream.
~ Amanda Bradley ~

Small Dose of Hope....
When I was in my first year of college, I hit a stretch where every area of my life was a disaster, I felt hopeless and alone, and more depressed than I knew was possible.
On one such day, I was walking from class across campus to catch my bus home, head down, fighting tears of total despair, when a guy came down the sidewalk toward me. I had never seen him before. Embarrassed at being seen in such an emotional mess, I turned my head away and hoped to hurry past. I figured he'd walk on by, but he moved until he was directly in front of me, waited until I looked up, then smiled.
Looking into my eyes, this stranger spoke in a quiet voice: "Whatever is wrong will pass. You're going to be ok, just hang on." He, then, smiled again and walked away.
I can't explain the impact of that moment, of that man's unexpected kindness and unconditional caring! He gave me the one thing I'd lost completely: hope. I looked for him on campus, to thank him, but never saw him again.
That was thirty years ago. And I've never forgotten that moment. Over the years, whenever I see someone in distress, I think of that old man and try to give a glimmer of hope in the dark wherever I can -- carrying groceries for people, sitting with cranky babies in airport lounges while the mother got up and got herself food/restroom, talking to tired couples at the checkout line, it could be anything.
If you keep your head up, your heart will show you the place that need a small dose of hope.

Today Is A Beautiful Day
A blind boy sat on the steps of a building with a hat by his feet. He held up a sign which said: "I am blind, please help." There were only a few coins in the hat.
A man was walking by. He took a few coins from his pocket and dropped them into the hat. He then took the sign, turned it around, and wrote some words. He put the sign back so that everyone who walked by would see the new words.
Soon the hat began to fill up. A lot more people were giving money to the blind boy. That afternoon the man who had changed the sign came to see how things were. The boy recognized his footsteps and asked, "Were u the one who changed my sign this morning? What did u write?"
The man said, "I only wrote the truth. I said what u said but in a different way."
What he had written was:
"Today is a beautiful day & I cannot see it."
Do u think the first sign & the second sign were saying the same thing?
Of course both signs told people the boy was blind. But the first sign simply said the boy was blind. The second sign told people they were so lucky that they were not blind. Should we be surprised that the second sign was more effective?
Moral of the Story:
-> Be thankful for what you have.
-> Be creative. Be innovative. Think differently and positively. Invite the people towards good with wisdom.

Persistence
In 1947, Lester Wunderman was arbitrarily fired from his advertising job in New York. But he felt he still had a lot to learn from the head of the agency, Max Sackheim. So the next morning, Wunderman went back to his office and began working as he had before. He talked to co-workers and clients; he sat in on meetings - all without pay. Sackheim ignored him for a month.
Finally, he walked up to Wunderman: 'Okay, you win', he said, shaking his head. 'I never saw a man who wanted a job more than he wanted money.' Well, guess what? Wunderman went on to be one of the most successful advertising men of the century. He's credited with having invented preprinted newspaper inserts, plus subscription cards such as those used by Time-Life Books and the Columbia Record Club; ideas that have produced billions of dollars in profit. Now,advertising may not be your thing - but action must be. What are you willing to do to achieve your dream? Work without pay? Refuse to quit? Success begins at the beginning, and it continues with consistent action.
Now, ponder these thoughts:
1) You don't have to be great to start, but you have to start to be great.
2) The first two letters in the word goal, are GO.
3) Some people dream of worthy accomplishments, others wake up and do them.
4) Anybody who brags about what they're going to do tomorrow probably did the same thing yesterday.
5) You will never be what you ought to be until you're doing what you ought to be doing.
6) If you're having trouble thinking outside the box, you're probably in the wrong box. Get out of there!

~ C.P.G. von Clausewitz, Major-General

Nothing will ever be attempted, if all possible objections
must first be overcome.
~ Samuel Johnson
Failure is impossible.
~ Susan B. Anthony
It is on the basis of actions that praise is received. The one who only talks and is not able to put his talk into practice does not become worthy of praise. On the other hand, the one who is able to bring his good thoughts and words into action becomes worthy of praise. Such a person's actions become inspirational for others and encourage them to follow him. When we are able to act according to our thoughts and words, we are able to take inspiration to do more. For every positive action that we do, we experience support and good wishes from others which encourage us constantly. Our account of positivity is always full and it takes us further to a cycle of positivity making it a habit. So we find that we don't have to work hard for performing positive actions.
~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Our account of positivity is always full and it takes us further to a cycle of positivity making it a habit. So we find that we don't have to work hard for performing positive actions.

The Picture of Peace
There once was a King who offered a prize to the artist who would paint the best picture of peace. Many artists tried. The King looked at all the pictures, but there were only two he really liked and he had to choose between them. One picture was of a calm lake. The lake was a perfect mirror for peaceful towering mountains were all around it. Overhead was a blue sky with fluffy white clouds. All who saw this picture thought that it was a perfect picture of peace. The other picture had mountains too. But these were rugged and bare. Above was an angry sky from which rain fell, in which lightening played. Down the side of the mountain tumbled a foaming waterfall. This did not look peaceful at all. But when the King looked, he saw behind the waterfall a tiny bush growing in a crack in the rock. In the bush a mother bird had built her nest. There, in the midst of the rush of angry water, sat the mother bird on her nest... perfect peace. Which picture do you think won the prize? The King chose the second picture. Do you know why? "Because," explained the King, "peace does not mean to be in a place where there is no noise, trouble, or hard work. Peace means to be in the midst of all those things and still be calm in your heart. That is the real meaning of peace.
