Self -  approval and self - acceptance Are the keys to  positive changes When we love ourselves  everything In our lives works Life is never stuck or static Or stale Each moment is Ever new and fresh Every moment of life is A new beginning point as We move from the old The gateways to wisdom and Knowledge are always open

It was 1991, I went to see a physician While taking my history He asked about the number of children I have My answer was five Then he asked about any miscarriages, abortions To both the questions my answer was one He quickly did the calculations And his answer to me was seven pregnancies I could not believe that I the highly educated lady of early sixties Was responsible of making seven pregnancies I was really ashamed of myself Back home lot of kids are Old fashioned and Not a classy thing My mother was much better than me She was two decades before my time Behaved in much civilized style She had only five children Although she was not educated at all Never went to any school No novels no short stories No TV Dramas nothing I had access of all these But she was much better than me In so many ways Mothers are always mothers We always can learn From our mothers

In January 1992 I was volunteering in The Microbiology Department of University of Toronto in Canada I came across with a Chinese Lady She was supervising the Autoclave and Sterilization Unit of the department in the Basement area She was going on holidays She told me that her youngest daughter is 25 years old I was surprised, she was not looking old enough To have a daughter of 25 years of age At that time my 2nd youngest daughter was Going to be married in a couple of months She was 19 years old That Chinese lady was surprised and in a Tone of admiration discussed My daughter's  marriage, which was arranged Then she started talking about her daughter, that She is not ready even to marry After sometimes she came to know that I just migrated couple of years ago All her surprises and admiration was gone She told me I am here for 20 years If you stay that long All will be changed She was telling me about herse...

Our whole lifetime is a series of Simultaneous deaths and births " Throughout the whole of life one must           continue to learn to live " And what will amaze you even more Throughout life one must learn to die It is also clear the farther one travels on The journey of life, the more Births one will experience, and Therefore the more deaths  ------- the More joy and the more pain Whether it is ever possible to become Free from emotional pain In this life ? I think never Is it possible to spiritually evolve to A level of consciousness at which the Pain of living is at least Diminished ? The answer is yes and no The answer is yes, because Once suffering is completely accepted It ceases in a sense to be Suffering because the Unceasing practice of discipline Leads to mastery and the Spiritually evolved person is masterful in the Same sense that the adult is Masterful in relation to the child...

We are each responsible for All our experiences Every thought we think is Creating our future The point of power is always In the present moment Everyone suffers from self --- hatred and guilt The bottom line for everyone is, " I'm not good enough ". It's only a thought, and A thought can be changed We create every so -- called Illness in our body Resentment, criticism and guilt are The most damaging patterns Releasing resentment will dissolve even cancer We must begin to learn To love ourselves

In the first year of our migration Everything looks in a mess In our lives We start behaving differently and ask our daughters to apply for any job This act is total surprising for us We never do this back home But at that time All of us probably doing involuntary actions May be we are in some shock Shock of adjustment in our new home country and acting very differently,  otherwise We wouldn't push our girls for such jobs Never in our back home countries Things change so quickly Our family values, our ideas Our thinking All refreshed by this migration Push Button with just one click No one realized this quick change In our lives beforehand Now it is too late Now we are a mixed personality Like a mixed plate A reflection of both East and West A changed person, but  New pages  In world history and world Politics Are written and Like our forefathers we are also Part of shaping the...

I remember, in 1972 , my sister was married And leaving for London, England We were happy because of her wedding But more than that, she was going to England At that time back home, people could not imagine North America Just like people of West,  at that time Could think of going only to Moon Not to Mars My sister came back after a year She wanted to stay and didn't want to Go back to London She was feeling very lonely and Didn't enjoy the glitter of Europe But when she stayed for a while and was facing  power shut down No safe drinking water Flies and Mosquitoes On top She became miserable, with her 4 month Little daughter, she knew She had to get bored in London still She left for England , leaving us behind In complete astonishment and confusion That was the first time we ever knew That anybody could get bored and lonely In the glittering Europe It was just as, when Neil Armstrong Landed on Moon...

It was 1993 , Rawanda was everywhere , in the News and   in the people discussion. I joined Oxfam for fundraising and Door to door collection. In addition I was volunteering " Global House " , the settlement services of Immigration department of Canada. There was a lady, day Manager from Jamaica, Some of her friend was asking about her mother , who used to live With her. She told her friend that her Mom went back to Jamaica , she wanted so badly to go back and to be with her Own people, she was feeling lonely. She said people want to adopt the children from Rawanda, The war zone,   my  advice to the people is that, let them be with their own people People in their own culture The children will never be happy , there will be no one to talk. I got confused , what is right and what is wrong  Still I am the same , confused, even in 2016 My TV is on and I am watching the Syrian Refugee News With my fingers crossed.

All strangers are people like you. For most of us, "others" means friends, family, or colleagues. Keep in mind all are others. Not knowing people's names doesn't mean you don't matter to them or they to you. The ultimate meaningfulness of our lives come from fulfilling our obligations to others. Look at every human being as an opportunity to advance humanity. And add something positive to the resume of your life. Feeling good doesn't come from competition, beating someone else out. For something, be it a parking space or gaining an edge  over someone. These are momentary "win". The deeper needs for admiration, love and respect are never met by these short "wins".

A kind mouth multiplies friends. The mouth is a fountain of life. He who guards his lips guards his life. The lips of the wise spread knowledge. Pleasant words are like a honeycomb. Sweet to the soul and healing to the bones. Start with the magic words. We are talking about please and thank you. If you want nice things to happen, these are the words should be heard. We know these things, but sometimes need to be reminded about how important they are.

Sometimes silence is golden. Listen while others are talking. We have to realize that every single thing that goes into our mouth, is a choice. Not only do we choose what goes into our mouth, we choose what comes out of them. Words go into our body. They impact our body and also on others. Most of us make unconscious choices in the words that we use. Words, once said, do not die.

Have the " start me up breakfast " Coffee, bagel, and wisdom. Good the more communicated, the more abundant grows. Words are choices. Respect the power of words. Chose them with care. We live by choice not by chance. Failure is greater teacher than success. The best use anyone can make of any day is to enjoy it ----  and then spread that joy to others. Let us celebrate Today.

Two sure ways to fail, think and never do, or do and never think. To communicate your Message unmistakably clear, keep it simple. Keep in mind that success is a partnership. Try to give credit to the people, who assisted you in your success trip. Never believe that a few caring people can't change the world. Speech is civilization itself. The instruments of both life and death are contained within the power of tongue. Words make us Human. Words are what hold society together. Words can hurt and shock, or they can heal and lift spirit. The pen is mightier than the sword.

The World does  not require so much to be informed as to be reminded. Words are tools that we always have access to and have used every day since we started talking. We live in an ocean of words, but like fish in water we are often not aware of it. We often talk without thinking first and without being aware of the impact of  our words.Yet they can have a powerful impact  --- both on others and ourselves. Khalil Gibran says that " in much of your talking, thinking is half murdered. " put your mind in gear before putting your mouth in motion ". Celebrate the words, which help to encourage and affirm life. I can live for two months on one good compliment. It has been said that language is an index of civilization, so mind your language please. What we hear all around us every day literally speaks volumes about our culture, our ethics and our consideration for one another. Give a touch to our civilization with a better choice of words. Try to be...

It is how we use our leisure time, which can build or destroy our character. It can help in  making our fortune. While we wait for a traffic light to change, we can pray, pray of us, for others or for the world peace. While we wait for an elevator, we can be still for a while. Take time to think that God is, and that he is still in - charge of the universe. While we drive or ride to work, we can joyously meditate on that which is true, lovely and positive. While we do dishes, mow the lawn, we can sing or whistle. That can add up beauty to our life and also to our fellow beings. It is nice to be important, but it's more important to be nice. When you are talking, you are not learning. When you listen, you learn. Temper is far too valuable to loose, so watch yours carefully and you probably won't loose it. Be nice to people, especially those serve you, and listen to what they have to  say.
