Flowers of Happiness

Image
4th July 2016 Frenchman's Bay I was at Frenchman's Bay it is 10 minutes drive from my Pickering place Weather was hot perfect to walk by the lake I was standing at the small bridge one side the water was very calm with Lotus all around While if you turn around you can see the other side of water looking all upset with waves making much noise as if roaring with all the emotions I started thinking that our Life also has two sides One is peaceful  which is easily stirred and disturbed by our emotions to have the other side which we mostly have to face If we learn to handle our emotions everything will be good in our life I use to distract my mind to tackle Up and Downs of my day to day life I think I win most of the time so keep trying please to be happy and let the flowers of Happiness to f lourish in your life

Kid Inside

Image
I think there is a kid hidden inside everyone of us we grow up get older but our inside kid remains there refuses to grow up needs to be pampered, be admired that Kid becomes selfish, greedy, angry and most of the times refuses to listen We have to be there for that kid of ours be kind and gentle and handle tactfully we have to give that kid a direction, a push to make things happen good for our health our life Most of the times I have to push myself to go for a walk, to get out promise to give treats or anything to that kid we have to deal with this kid of ours throughout our lives listen to him, give time and have patience to deal, to be happy and enjoy your life

Make A Difference

Image
Reading is an entertainment. Be motivated and have time to read It is a great pass time for everyone Long time ago someone pushed me to read Using 8 pages a day idea It worked well A little thing can make a difference To anybody's life And it can go on Reading keeps busy our brain In a wonderful way It can be done anywhere, anytime. Once we're hooked on reading Our lives become so much richer And more interesting Take one step a time It takes years to practice

Time Blocks

Image
Don't wait for the right mood Or the right time Be consistent and block specific Periods in your daily schedule Use a little -- bit -- at  -- a -- time Approach It will become a habit Writing a book seems an Overwhelming job when looked on as a whole but if you Write only one page a day It will be done just like building a brick house The individual bricks are pretty small and the process of laying them only one at a time Looks painfully slow We can use small blocks of time in Much the same way Success is the result of hard work done Little by little, day by day

Power of Habit

Image
We build our future by the quality Of the thoughts we think Our living is determined not so much By what life brings to us as by The attitude we bring to life Not so much what happens to you As by the way our mind Looks at what happens Habits are key to all success We're creatures of habit 95 percent of our behavior is formed through habit I doubt that anyone would disagree that Our habits have a powerful hold on us We, first make our habits, and then Our habits make us Do all the good you can, by all The means you can Try to shape your thinking and your life

Gift Pack

Image
Every morning we are gifted twenty four hours To make use of that We are gifted with that clean slate Every day for the rest of our lives We can't replace it we are forced to spend it minute by minute and once we spend it We can't retrieve it We can measure the quality of life The way we spend our time Time is life Don't kill your time Use your time Don't take it for granted Value your time and use it wisely

An Asset ?

Image
You have to give up something To get something Decide what you want Decide what you are willing to exchange for it Establish your priorities Success is the sum of small efforts Successful people don't find time They make time Time is Life Time is irreversible and irreplaceable To waste  time is like waste your life Try to manage your time and please Donn't complain " I don't have enough time " Or " time is running out " Use of time is a skill We can always make time for things

Awful Morning

Image
 The first hour of the morning is crucial It is important how we start our day How you spend your morning hour Will determine your experience for the rest of the day. If you have a lousy way of starting your day You're not going to have a good day ever It's not possible. Try to do your best to have the morning be awful Your day will be awful too.

You can do it

Image
Treat people as adults as partners With dignity and respect That's the great advice of business world It's also great advice for Everyday living No one will ever go wrong by Being polite A man's words will always express What has been treasured In his heart Our rewards in life will always be in Exact proportion to the amount of Consideration we show toward others Honesty is still the best policy Kind words cost little but Accomplish much Few things in the world are more powerful Than a positive push A smile, a word of optimism and hope A " You can do it " When things are tough.

Walk Through the Doors

Image
Make a commitment to show up and Walk through the doors that life opens up For us on our journey. Be willing to take chances and keep Moving forward without knowing the outcome Develop and tap into the ability to attract What we need by putting and keeping us In the right state of mind. Life is continually tapping us on the shoulder If we just pay attention and do what's before us We're likely to find the right path. Focus more on how we can best Encourage and assist those in need As opposed to getting lost in our own Personal vision and quest for success.

Best of Friends

We are never too young or too old to old To learn life's greatest lessons ---- and the Time is always right. A good book is the best of friends, the same Today and forever. I hear  ---- and I forgot I see --- and I remember I do --- and I understand Accept life as it is with all it's difficulties And challenges Adapt rather than complain about it Accept responsibilities for your life instead of Blaming or making excuses Say yes to life in spite of it's negative elements.
