Are you willing

Are you willing :  To forget : What you have done for other people, and to remember what other people have done for you;   To ignore : What the world owes you, and to think what you owe the world;   To put : Your rights in background, your duties in the middle distance, and your chances to do a little more than your duty in the foreground;   To see : that your fellow men are just as real as you are, and try to look behind their faces into their hearts hungry for joy;  To own : that- probably the only good reason for your existence is not what you are going to get out of life, but what you are going to give to life.   To close : your book of complaints against the management of the universe, and to look around

Enough

Enough failure to keep you humble  Enough success to keep you eager  Enough friends to give you comfort   Enough wealth to meet your needs  Enough enthusiasm to look forward    Enough faith to banish depression     Enough determination to make each day a better day than yesterday.

Heaven and Hell

Image
After his death, a man was once taken to see both heaven and hell.  In hell there were a lot of people sitting around a table, on which there was laid a sumptuous feast.  But all of them were starving, and crying out in their anguish.  Their arms were much too long to convey the food to their mouths.  Then he was taken to Heaven, where there was an identical scene-people sitting around a sumptuous feast; here too, their arms were too long to feed themselves.  But here there was no starvation and all were satisfied.  They were all busy feeding one another !

Unconscious belief that you do not have the ability to succeed. The solution?

Image
U nconscious belief that you do not have the ability to succeed. The solution?  Reverse the mental image of yourself.   This will not be very easy; negative mental habits have channeled deep grooves in your consciousness, and your mind will protest a positive reorientation. But you must realize that your mind has actually been lying to you about your real abilities, deliberately causing you to fail. So you must stand up to your mind, dominate it. Don’t let it control you. You can always, with God’s help, control it.

" Live one day at a time"

Image
Any man can fight the battles of just one day.  It is when you and I add the burdens of two awful eternities - yesterday and tomorrow -that we break down.   It is not the experiences of today that disturb one’s peace of mind.   It is the remorse or bitterness for something which happened yesterday and the dread of what tomorrow may bring.   Let us therefore live one day at a time.

You are bigger than the pain

People say, "Stop running away from your problems. Stop being a coward."  It sounds so easy. It sounds like it is something completely normal.  l wonder how many out there struggle to a point where their tears start piercing through the skin. How many know the feeling of not being able to breathe anymore? l know whatever is hurting you is painful and unbearable, but do not let that pain consume you. Whenever you go numb, try to remember the smile of a loved one. Try to remember the warmth of your loved one. Try to remember the silly giggle of your friend or the lovingly annoying voice of your siblings. Just find something to hold onto. The pain that is hunting you today will slowly vanish one day. Please trust me on this. To anyone who wants to quit. Don't. You are bigger than the pain.
