It is during our darkest moments that we must focus to see the light. Aristotle

The way I see it, if you want the rainbow, you gotta put up with the rain.

GIVERS GET GIVEN TO.

 

I MAY BE A DIFFERENT BIRD THAN MOST, YET THE MORE I SEE, THE MORE I ACCEPT AND HONOUR BEING ME.

THE UNIVERSE NEVER ASKED YOU TO STRUGGLE. IT IS SIMPLY ANSWERING YOUR MOOD.

LIFE IS SO MUCH BRIGHTER WHEN WE FOCUS ON WHAT TRULY MATTERS.

ALLOW THE LITTLE THINGS TO FILL YOU UP WITH JOY.

MAKE THE PRESENT MOMENT YOUR FRIEND.

Practice being in silence and meditation. Nothing relieves stress, depression, anxiety, and all forms of low energy more.

Miracles come in moment. Be ready and willing.

The moment you extend kindness to yourself, the more it will become your automatic response to others

Intuitive feelings always quide you in a direction of growth and purposefulness.

Your thoughts are all seeds that you plant.

Treat yourself as if you already are what you'd like to become.

Believe that you can attain anything you wish and that you will receive all the help you need, as long as you stay focused on your goal.

When you start seeing your worth, you will find it harder to stay around people who can't.

 

FIND HAPPINESS

Once a group of 50 people were attending a seminar. Suddenly the speaker stopped and decided to do a group activity. He started giving each attendee one balloon. Each one was asked to write his/her name on it using a marker pen. Then all the balloons were collected and put in another room.

Now these delegates were let into that room and asked to find the balloon which had their name written within 5 minutes. Everyone was frantically searching for their name, colliding with each other, pushing around others and there was utter chaos.

At the end of 5 minutes no one could find their own balloon. Now each one was asked to randomly collect a balloon and give it to the person whose name was written on it. Within minutes everyone had their own balloon.

The speaker then began, “This is happening in our lives. Everyone is frantically looking for happiness all around, not knowing where it is.

Our happiness lies in the happiness of other people. Give them their happiness; you will get your own happiness. And this is the purpose of human life…the pursuit of happiness.”
