LIFE is BEAUTIFUL!

WISDOM

To understand reality is not the same as to know about outward events. It is to perceive the essential nature of things. The best-informed man is not necessarily the wisest. Indeed there is a danger that precisely in the multiplicity of his knowledge he will lose sight of what is essential. But on the other hand, knowledge of an apparently trivial detail quite often makes it possible to see into the depth of things. And so the wise man will seek to acquire the best possible knowledge about events, but always without becoming dependent upon this knowledge. To recognize the significant in the factual is wisdom. Dietrich Bonhoeffer:

THOUGHTS TO PONDER

Life is a train of moods like a string of beads; and as we pass through them they prove to be many colored lenses, which paint the world their own hue, and each shows us only what lies in its own focus.---RALPH WALDO EMERSON

Most people are about as happy as they make up their minds to be.---ABRAHAM LINCOLN
There is neither happiness nor misery in the world; there is only the comparison of one state to another, nothing more. He who has felt the deepest grief is best able to experience supreme happiness. We must have felt what it is to die, that we may appreciate the enjoyments of life.---ALEXANDRE DUMAS
“It is not because the truth is too difficult to see that we make mistakes... we make mistakes because the easiest and most comfortable course for us is to seek insight where it accords with our emotions - especially selfish ones" --- Alexander Solzhenitsyn quotes (Russian novelist, Nobel Prize for Literature (1970), b.1918)
“Wisdom ceases to be wisdom when it becomes too proud to weep, too grave to laugh, and too selfish to seek other than itself.” ---Kahlil Gibran

Behold the GIFTS of...

We all want to heed start our days right. At least, that’s a desire and maybe an expectation for us to make our everydays. One thing that fuels me up are quotations or inspiring thoughts. I’m sure you out there can agree, here are some of my collections:




Be Grateful

How many times do you say the words “thank you, in a day? How many times do you hear these same words? If you are doing the first thing, saying the “thank you, the latter will naturally happen. Learn to be grateful and you will be open to receive an abundance of joy and happiness.

A simple and sincere, “You look great in red,”“You did a super job” or“That was a wonderful meal”can make someones day.


THE GIFT OF SOLITUDE…
There are times when we want nothing better than to be left alone.Be sensitive to those times and give the gift of solitude to others.


THE GIFT OF A CHEERFUL DISPOSITION….
The easiest way to feel good is to extend a kind word to someone,really it’s not that hard to say, “Hello” or “Thank You”.

But you must REALLY listen. No interrupting, no daydreaming,no planning your response. Just listening.


THE GIFT OF AFFECTION…
