A Wonderful Story ..

A woman came out of her house and saw 3 old men with long white beards sitting in her front yard. She did not recognize them. She said "I don't think I know you, but you must be hungry. Please come in and have something to eat." 

"Is the man of the house home?", they asked. 

"No", she replied. "He's out." 

"Then we cannot come in", they replied. 

In the evening when her husband came home, she told him what had happened. 

"Go tell them I am home and invite them in!" 

The woman went out and invited the men in"

"We do not go into a House together," they replied.

"Why is that?" she asked. 

One of the old men explained: "His name is Wealth," he said pointing to one of his friends, and said pointing to another one, "He is Success, and I am Love." Then he added, "Now go in and discuss with your husband which one of us you want in your home." 

The woman went in and told her husband what was said. Her husband was overjoyed. 

"How nice!!", he said. "Since that is the case, let us invite Wealth. Let him come and fill our home with wealth!"

His wife disagreed. "My dear, why don't we invite Success?"

Their daughter-in-law was listening from the other corner of the house. She jumped in with her own suggestion: "Would it not be better to invite Love? Our home will then be filled with love!" 

"Let us heed our daughter-in-law's advice," said the husband to his wife. 

"Go out and invite Love to be our guest." 

The woman went out and asked the 3 old men, "Which one of you is Love? Please come in and be our guest." Love got up and started walking toward the house. The other 2 also got up and followed him. Surprised, the lady asked Wealth and Success: "I only invited Love, Why are you coming in?" 

The old men replied together: "If you had invited Wealth or Success, the other two of us would've stayed out, but since you invited Love, wherever He goes, we go with him. 

Wherever there is Love, there is also Wealth and Success!!!!!!"

Success

To laugh often and much;
To win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children;
To earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends;
To appreciate beauty,
To find the best in others,
To leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child,
A garden patch or a redeemed social condition;
To know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived.
This is to have succeeded.

- by Ralph Waldo Emerson

Attitude Is Every Thing

The Iceberg phenomena is also applicable on human beings … 

You CAN DO everything, but not all at once.

You CAN DO everything, if it’s important enough for you to do.

You CAN DO everything, but you may not be the best at everything.

You CAN DO everything, but there will be limitations.

You CAN DO everything, but you’ll need help.

A positive thought is the seed of a positive result.

If you don’t like something, change it. If you can’t change it, change your attitude. Don’t complain.

The most significant change in a person’s life is a change of attitude. Right attitude produce right actions.

If you really want to be happy, nobody can stop you except God.

Whether a glass if half-full or half-empty, depends on the attitude of the person looking at it.

There is a better way for everything. Find it.

A positive attitude is not a destination. It is a way of life.

The difference between a successful person and others is not a lack of knowledge, but rather a lack of will.

The positive thinker sees the invisible, feels the intangible, and achieves the impossible.

The man with confidence in himself gains the confidence of others.

You will only go as far as you think you can go.

The biggest mistake of all is to avoid situations in which you might make a mistake.

A positive attitude is like a magnet for positive results.

Our life is a reflection of our attitudes.

Positive attitudes create a chain reaction of positive thoughts.

Attitude, not aptitude, determines your altitude.

No man fails if he does his best.

Words To Live By

It's not how much you accomplish in life
that really counts,
but how much you give to other.

It's not how high you build your dreams
that makes a difference,
but how high your faith can climb.

It's not how many goals you reach,
but how many lives you touch.

It's not who you know that matters,
but who you are inside.

Believe in the impossible,
hold tight to the incredible,
and live each day to its fullest potential.
You can make a difference
in your world.

Think, Believe, Dream & Dare

An eight-year-old boy approached an old man in front of a wishing well, looked up into his eyes, and said: "I understand you're a very wise man. I'd like to know the secret of life."

The old man looked down at the youngster and replied: "I've thought a lot in my lifetime, and the secret can be summed up in four words.

"The first is THINK. Think about the values you wish to live your life by.

"The second is BELIEVE. Believe in yourself based on the thinking you've done about the values you're going to live your life by.

"The third is DREAM. Dream about the things that can be, based on your belief in yourself and the values you're going to live by.

"The last is DARE. Dare to make your dreams become reality, based on your belief in yourself and your values."

And with that, Walter E. Disney said to the little boy,

"THINK, BELIEVE, DREAM and DARE."

To Be Successful

Everyone Has A Chance To Be Successful
People often handle life as they do bad weather.
They while away the time waiting for it to stop.
Yet the tide of opportunity comes to everyone.
Opportunity knocks all the time,
But you've got to be ready for it.

When your chance comes,
You must have the equipment to take advantage of it.
The race is not to the swift
Or the battle to the strong,
For time and chance happen to everyone.

Take a second look at what appears
To be someone's "good luck."
You'll find not luck but preparation,
Planning and success-producing thinking.

When you're prepared for opportunity
Your chance for success is sure to come.
The season of failure is the best time
For sowing the seeds of success.

Smile

It is a simple act,
but sometimes takes a lot of effort.

A smile can cause boundaries to melt,
hearts to warm up, and distances to reduce.

Why don't we smile more often?
 Is it too tough to smile?
The answer lies in our attitude towards life.

If we are more accepting of situations,
we will be able to smile more easily.

Always wear a smile.
Remember, without your smile,
your attire is incomplete.

That’s Why We Need Friends

Many times in our lives we are dropped, 

crumpled and ground into the dirt by the decisions we make 

and the circumstances that come our way. 

We feel as though we are worthless.

But no matter what has happened or what will happen, 

you will never lose your value. 

Dirty or clean, crumpled or finely creased you are still priceless to those who love you.

The worth of our lives comes not in what we do or who we know, but by who we are.

You are special. Don’t ever forget it.

Positive Attitude

More than 100 years ago, author Robert Louis Stevenson offered the following tips for maintaining a positive attitude. They still apply today.

* Make up your mind to be happy. Learn to find pleasure in simple things.

* Make the best of your circumstances. Everyone has problems. The trick is to make laughter outweigh the tears.

* Don't take yourself too seriously. Don't think that somehow you should be protected from misfortunes that befall others.

* You can't please everybody. Don't let criticism worry you.

* Don't let your neighbor set your standards. Be yourself.

* Do the things you enjoy doing, but stay out of debt.

* Don't borrow trouble. Imaginary burdens are harder to bear than the actual ones.

* Hate poisons the soul, so don't carry grudges. Avoid people who make you unhappy.

* Have many interests. If you can't travel, read about new places.

* Don't hold post-mortems. Don't spend your life brooding over sorrows and mistakes.

* Do what you can for those less fortunate than yourself.

* Keep busy at something. A busy person never has time to be unhappy.

Life Always Has Challenges

Sometimes the world appears
To be spinning out of control.
Sometimes there seems to be no end
To the distressing news.

Sometimes it feels like troubles
Are being piled on top of troubles.
Sometimes it can look as if there
Could never be a way forward.

And yet, that way forward is always
As close as your next thought.
For no matter how difficult and discouraging
Life may have become, with each dawning moment,
A new world of positive possibilities opens up to you.

From the darkest depths of despair,
Hope does indeed grow and take flight.
Out of difficult situations, new strategies emerge
For creating real value and spreading life's goodness.

Remember that the future does not have to be
An extension of the past.
For you can act right now to create
That future out of the abundance of positive possibilities.

Life always has its challenges,
And those challenges are what enable you
To bring real value to life.
Whatever the circumstance,
Step boldly forward and
Choose to move the world positively ahead...

Great Quotes On Faith

Keep your dreams alive. Understand to achieve anything requires faith and belief in yourself, vision, hard work, determination, and dedication. Remember all things are possible for those who believe.

- Gail Devers

Faith in one's progress brings contentment.

Even when the situation is not according to what is expected, there is contentment for the one who has faith in his own progress.  Such a person will not just sit back waiting for things to change nor will he just curse his fate.  Instead he'll do his best and use all his resources in bettering the situation.

The understanding that all life's situations are a training for me, automatically keeps me content in all situations.  There is naturally an experience of constant progress and a feeling of having gained something from all situations.

- Brahma Kumaris, Mt. Abu

Faith doesn't make anything happen - faith rests on something that has happened!

- Malcolm Smith

Where there is faith, there is greatness.

To have faith means to recognize the positivity in the self, in others and in situations. It also means a deep connection with God. The one who has faith is able to bring out the greatness in everything and everyone. So such a person reveals his greatness wherever he is. When we have unbroken faith, we have the understanding that everything that happens is for some good cause. So, we are satisfied with everything that happens in our 

lives. We are creative in our responses to the environment, which in turn, makes us truly great.

- Brahma Kumaris, Mt. Abu

Without faith, nothing is possible. With it, nothing is impossible."

- Mary Bethune

To know that the seed of selfless action will surely bear fruit at its own time is to be light.

Sometimes when involved in a task, we tend to get carried away with the result. We become so result-oriented that we begin to expect the fruit of what we have done immediately. Without the recognition of the fact that the result might take time to come, we begin to get caught up with our own expectations. This creates a lot of heaviness in our mind and we might even give up what we are doing. When we make a contribution for something, we must develop faith that whatever has to happen will happen at the right time. We don't have to eat unripe fruit, i.e., not get carried away with immediate results but have to wait patiently knowing that the fruits of our actions will ripen at their own time. With faith this is possible and we will be able to free ourselves from negativity and heaviness.

- Brahma Kumaris, Mt. Abu

Quotes on Enthusiasm

Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm.

- Emerson

Enthusiasm releases the drive to carry you over obstacles and adds significance to all you do. 

- Norman Vincent Peale

Enthusiasm - the sustaining power of all great action.

- Samuel Smiles

A man can succeed at almost anything for which he has unlimited enthusiasm.

- Charles M. Schwab

When you discover your mission, you will feel its demand. It will fill you with enthusiasm and a burning desire to get to work on it. 

- W. Clement Stone 

Enthusiasm is the mother of effort, and without it nothing great was ever achieved.

- Ralph Waldo Emerson

The great accomplishments of man have resulted from the transmission of ideas and enthusiasm.

- Thomas J. Watson, Sr

Success is the ability to go from failure to failure without losing your enthusiasm.

- Winston Churchill
