Blessings

sometimes you can not see where the road is leading
it might take a turn that you never dreamed of
but these unexpected detours can be blessings
giving your heart a new song to happily sing
even opening a new door to love


new joys they may bring
finding the dark clouds lining
an adventure you had not thought of
set you to the clouds and soaring
be the air beneath your proverbial wing
offering blessings you never thought of

How to win others,Learn to appreciate them

Life should not be a race. Let's try to make it a Journey of Love, Peace & Harmony…

"Everyone has an invisible sign hanging from their neck saying, 'Make me feel important.' Never forget this message when working with people."

If practised, this could be one of the most life-changing pieces of advice. In any relationship, whether it's a spouse, child, client, colleague, or casual acquaintance, the best way to make a lasting impression is to take the time to make others feel genuinely valued.

Here are four tips to help you make others feel more important.

1. Greet everyone you meet with enthusiasm. Have you ever called someone on the telephone - or met them somewhere -- and they greeted you with such energy and enthusiasm that you felt they must truly adore you? A greeting of ardent and genuine enthusiasm sets the tone for your entire encounter.

It's such a simple skill (the hardest part is remembering to do it) but if you CAN remember, it will enliven all of your relationships. This skill can be particularly life-changing when practiced with your children. A simple show of enthusiasm and appreciation when a child walks in the room can have a miraculous effect on the relationship.

2. Slow down. Take the time in conversation to really listen. While someone is talking, focus on taking in what he or she is saying in words, tone, and body language instead of thinking about what you are going to say next.

Relax and listen before responding. As you practice this form of deep listening, work on identifying the other person's needs. Put your own needs aside during the conversation and focus on determining what *they* need today. Imagine that each encounter is like a brief interlude in what may otherwise be a hectic day. Slow down and savour the connection you can make with another person, even in a casual conversation.

3. Work on remembering the details of past conversations and encounters.

Ask about the things they confided to you. How did her business presentation go? How is his ailing father? It's often helpful to make little notes to remind you to ask about something or someone the next time you meet. This simple skill shows people that they are important to you.

4. Appreciate the small things that people do for you and never pass up an opportunity to say thank you. It doesn't have to be anything fancy...a few kind words or even a simple note is plenty. Find simple and small ways to show appreciation and caring to those you love. Maybe it's bringing home take-out when your spouse has been home all day with a sick child. Maybe it's making a quick phone call to your mother. As you go through your day, be thinking of how you can take a step toward recognition and appreciation.

When you make the people around you feel important, you create a climate of trust and mutual appreciation, which can change your life in ways large and small. Try it today.

Remember:

people will forget what you said ...

people will forget what you did ...

but people will never forget how you made them feel ...

"Love Can Move Mountains"

Love Is a Many Splendored Thing

Love Is a Many-Splendored Thing

Lessons "Love Comes Softly" can teach us...

The word "love" has many meanings to many people. The New Testament's First Corinthians letter sums up love's attributes by saying, "Love is patient and kind; it does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; is not irritable or resentful..." (1 Corinthians 13:4-8)

In this spirit comes a new DVD collection of the much-cherished "Love Comes Softly" series, produced and directed by Michael Landon Jr. and based on the classic books by Janette Oke. In the series, a recently-widowed pioneer woman named Marty is forced into an initially loveless marriage of convenience in order to provide for her unborn child. Marty's powerful journey discovering her faith through the loving qualities of patience, trust and acceptance brings to life timeless themes of hardship, compromise, grief and hope. Though set against the backdrop of the pioneer West, her story resonates equally in today's world.

For Marty, uniting her new family in love wouldn't have been possible without a growing faith in God. These movies got us thinking about love's divine nature, so we asked our Beliefnet community to tell us what love means to them. Find out what they had to say.

Love Is...Our Reason for Being

"I think love is the entire purpose of life. I think love is God expressing himself through us. When it comes with attachments and jealousies and etc., I think that is where we are inserting ourselves into the mix and not letting love (God) flow through without obstruction.

I think, as we grow on our spiritual journey, we are more and more able to let that love flow through us without the human limitations."

Love Is...Simple Gestures That Speak Volumes

"In my day-to-day life, love is quite simple. I see its strength in my life when I am drifting off to sleep with my head on my lovely boyfriend's lap and he is faithfully scratching my back even though he's had a long hard day too. Or when I get home from a long day at work, a day when my boss has yelled and I have cried, and my sweet little kitty jumps up when I get home and bends her head for me to kiss it. Or when my mum buys some flowers and leaves one perfect little bud in a vase by my bed--just because. It's those things that spell out love, at least for me, each day."

Love Is...Taking Action

"It's action. I started my life with an idea that it was tied to 'how I felt.' I found myself unable to love, just based on how I felt.

Today, my focus is more on principle--do I accept? Do I do things for the person? Do I forgive? Forgiveness is huge. I might suggest it isn't really love until I have to forgive. It's pretty easy to love people who do what you want and never frustrate you. [When I forgive] I can say I love, even when my emotions might not match up with how I think love ought to 'feel.'"

Love Is...Humility In Hard Times

"The word humility comes to mind. It wasn't until I became sick and then later caring for my mom 24/7 and watching her deteriorate from Alzheimer's Disease that I finally felt I knew the true meaning of love. She became the child I never had and [I] watch[ed] her throughout the years slowly decline from this horrendous disease but [I was] always thankful to God that she knew who I was and the day she finally passed, being there with her holding her hand...to me that is the greatest gift I have been given and that is the essense of 'love' to me."

Love Is...Putting Others First

"To me, love is being able and willing to put oneself aside in order to serve the needs of another...family, friend, neighbor, stranger or foe. To quiet that voice in your head with the to-do lists, the have-to-go reasons and the must-haves, and live in the present moment with that individual. It could be listening (really listening) to an old man recounting the adventures of his youth or taking the time to understand a person you don't even like, to see what she/he sees and maybe why. All people are precious to God and therefore worth both your time and care."

Love Is...Compassion

"Love is one thing, but there are many types of love. There's friendship and romantic love. I would say that compassion is also a form of love, probably the one that will save us as a species and save our planet.... I believe the original sin was selfishness.... I can't think of any factor more than selfishness that causes so much suffering in the world today. Some believe love and hate are opposites. I believe love and selfishness are. Love is sharing, and compassion, and right action. All the good stuff and none of the bad."

Love Is...Unconditional

"Love means accepting someone just as they were created, unconditionally. It means loving someone no matter what they say or do. Love DOES mean having to say you are sorry, if you love someone with a big ego."

Love Wears Different Faces In Different Places

"I believe 1 Corinthians is speaking of all the different faces love can wear. I mean when you think of the love of a mother to her child, doesn't that take patience, kindness, etc? Relationships--husband/wife, girlfriend/boyfriend, etc--will take you through each and every one of the different faces of love on a daily basis. I think the idea is to be present as much as you can be from where you are and remember that you really don't want to hurt this person you love so much. Count to 100, temper your words, breathe and decide to have a conversation with this person and try to see their point of view and then help them understand yours. No promises--you may not come to an agreement--but you have given of yourself beyond your comfort zone, you have extended yourself in love to this very important person in your life. Love does take on many faces and sometimes it isn't easy to get to, but it is there."

Acceptance Is Not A Sign Of Defeat,It's Humility

WOMEN WHO ARE ALWAYS RIGHT

Disclaimer- This is not about ALL women nor is it about anyone in particular. Just some experiences I have had. Take it with a grain of salt.

I am a man.

I am a brilliant individual. I see things, know things, and understand things very clearly. I see underneath to true meanings, I see behind words to emotions. In general, I know exactly what I am talking about.

EXACTLY.

And I know I am not incorrect. I knowwwwwww I am right.

Sometimes, women just don't want to admit it. They cannot believe I have sniffed out their dramas. So what do they do? They ride it all the way down to the bottom. They stick with their story. They insist I am incorrect. They insist they are innocent. THEN they insist that it is I who am wrong, and try to be indignant and offended and turn it all around on me. They have just been all peachy and wonderful and it is I who is in the wrong entirely. They will sometimes even tell me I said things, that make their case, whether I ever did say them or not.

Then I say "I didn't say that" and they accuse me of more error, like I don't even know what I am saying. Nope. My mind is clear and I know exactly what I said. I also know that now you are making things up, proving what I already knew. You are full of it.

Sometimes, when I point out what is really going on, they insist I am wrong because they don't even realize what they have done or said, and that I have seen through it so concisely, before they have even realized their own intent.

I'm that good.

But since they are women, I generally believe that they know what they are doing. Women are way smart, but sometimes they talk to me like I am the normal dumb-ass guy who they can get over on.

I am not.

Not for one second.

BUT

Why can't some girls ever stop and say "you know what? You are right."

and mean it?

I will tell you why. Because they can't tolerate being wrong, and the concept that a man has just penetrated their nonsense. Further, whatever they were trying to accomplish is no longer going to work, so they have to persist with the mess to see if they can eventually get me to start questioning myself, or, if I will get sick of trying to argue and just concede or relent because we can't agree and I hate arguing. Sometimes they even try and tell me I have lost it completely. I haven't lost anything honey. I know exactly what is going on. I am not making it up. Do you think I can't see?

Now ladies, we know that sometimes you want us to see your point of view. No matter how right we think we are, or how nonsensical your views seem to be, we need to stop and recognize that this is how you feel anyway, and it doesn't have to make sense, but we need to acknowledge it, legitimize it, and take you into account.

But do you realize that you have to do that too?

Sometimes you have to admit that you are wrong. Sometimes you have to realize that you have come across a certain way, whether you intended to or not, and now you need to make it right or check yourself.

You want me to come clean and be honest? Admit I have been a jerk, or that I blew it somewhere? Admit that I need to improve myself for a deep character flaw?

You need to be honest with yourself then. Can you ever admit- yes, Sam, I have been a close minded individual who gets upset about things I shouldn't. Yes, I was trying to manipulate you. I know I am a conniving, irrational wack job sometimes, and I am going to make a sincere effort to get better?

"Yes, Sam, I am in the wrong here?!?!?!"

is your pride too big to ask me for help with not being such an idiot?

Do you want me to face and correct all my shortcomings-

and think that you simply don't have to?

Because I will sniff them out, and present them clearly, and I expect the same honesty and humbleness that you expect from me. If you can't handle that, and admit you are WRONG, then you can't expect any of that honesty or humility from me. Don't you sit there and try to sell me some dramas about how you are never this way or that way like other girls when it's as plain as the nose on your face that you are, in fact, like that.

I know you are wrong, I know you know exactly what I am talking about, and now I want you to back off and get real with me, like you know you should. Because you can't fool me. Own it.

I can handle that, and I will appreciate your honesty.

There's the bigger issue, too, that once I have established that you aren't as great as you want everyone to think, and I am far more brilliant than you ever thought, you will now no longer be able to run your drama, manipulate, control, or make me feel inferior to you. And that makes you as uncomfortable and as insecure as you have ever felt in your life... so you try and to regain that by catching me in some screw-up or just refusing to admit when you are wrong and trying to still blame me. There's also the problem that if it turns out I am right, that means that your behavior and treatment of me is unacceptable, and you aren't going to want to change that, admit that, improve yourself, or apologize.

Its just like when you KNOW a guy is lying to you and he just keeps on trying to run that bullshit and is making himself look ridiculous- except now its you that is doing that, and I know it just as well. It embarrasses us both, it makes you look ridiculous, and insults me that you think I am that dumb.

Give up the act, cut the drama, and admit you are busted.

THEN we can talk.

How I See Myself In My Own Small World

About Me,Being The Unique & Living In My Own Special World

I am active, curious and enthusiastic and with a very good sense of humour. I enjoy peace and quiet, as well as fun and games, and every good thing that life has to offer. Family and friends are vitally important to me. Loyalty faithfulness and integrity are as well. I'm down to earth and energetic, always open to new experiences and thinking, even at this age.

Having a young outlook on life. I desire as much closeness and commitment as possible. I enjoy lively discussions about life in general and on specific topics as well.

Would wish to meet my prince with similar interests and experiences to share these values, passions and enthusiasms. Must be hardworking and energetic and also resourceful and generous.

Must be kind, honest and truthful; a knight who may not necessarily be a perfect being; he should be someone human enough to make mistakes, yet confident enough to admit them; not afraid to say the 3 most healing words "I am sorry", yet capable of saying the most 3 magical words" I love You".I also love people who are open, frank, outspoken, but tactful, courageous, loving and kind, someone who would encourage, a lover who would work hard with me to keep the relationship vibrant and enjoyable.

"Loving Life"

How We Restore Balance in Life

While we're busy caring for others, let's not forget to be kind to ourselves.

Most of us give generously of our time and energy to family members, friends, and co-workers--and often ignore our own needs. It may not be until we become physically or mentally exhausted, or financially depleted, that we wake up and pay attention to our own needs. At that point we remember the wisdom of the flight attendant: Put on your oxygen mask first, and then you'll be able to help others.Beliefnet members share the experiences that made them realize they had to start taking care of themselves--and what they're doing about it.

Lighten Your Load

Before you can take care of anyone else, you need to be able to care for yourself. Many women are juggling and are really good at it, but it is not for you or yourself. My own personal truth is that I am a part of God and he does not want me to feel burdened. He also wants my load light enough to add a little as I shed what's been taken care of.I do take time to treat myself to God's gifts of life, my animals, my grandchildren and a root beer float or some other form of reward for managing to survive another day. I know that women are caretakers by nature, so start nurturing the one who matters to the rest of us and that is you!

Embrace Forgiveness

I embraced forgiveness and since then I have forgiven not only my ex, but also myself, as well as all the persons whom I considered to have caused me pain in one way or another. Forgiving means healing, I realized.Now, I am just trying to enjoy every single moment of my life. I may still be a work in progress, but by God's grace I know I'll come out a much better person. When I'm having "sad" episodes, I just listen to my favorite music or read inspirational blogs from Beliefnet.com or self-help books. Or I get an early morning shower and head to a nearby park for a walk. Reading a newspaper while sipping freshly brewed coffee is such therapy.--Happily_single

Stop Smoking

I am 36 days clean of smoking! I have found that when I get stressed out, the best thing to do is some type of physical labor, let it be clean the house or fold laundry or plant flowers/garden/whatever. That tends to get my aggravations out and to make the urge to smoke pass quicker. Taking a walk or even a shower helps as well. Drinking a cup of hot tea is another good thing to do (it helps relax you, especially chamomile tea). But I have also found in my times of relaxing (such as watching TV or whatever), I need to keep my hands busy, so I have taken up knitting. Either that or journaling [is helpful].

Be Grateful

A few years ago I came down with pneumonia for no apparent reason. It was a beautiful spring day and I had been in good health. I felt betrayed by my body. One day, after I recovered, I was complaining about my illness to a friend. "How can I ever trust my body again?" I protested. My friend gave me some very wise advice. "The pneumonia was a relatively benign warning that you had been under too much stress. You should be grateful to your body for alerting you to that. You may have avoided a heart attack." I think my friend was right, and it helps me care for myself in ways that I never would have considered. I try to never consider myself a victim anymore; only someone who has been warned and needs to change his behavior.I do my own kind of gratitude meditation every night. I sit quietly and feel grateful for all the blessings I've received. Together, avoiding the negative energy of feeling a victim and generating the positive force of gratitude provide me with the strength to take care of myself and others for whom I have responsibility.

Care for Your Health

Tomorrow I'm going for my yearly mammogram. I've also "cut my portions," made sure I'm drinking more water, trying my best to get 8 hrs.+ sleep at night. I'm also taking "me time"--that's having my nails/hair done once a month. I'm also making sure that things are in order in my house, bill wise. And I'm remembering to thank my maker each day for letting me live the life I'm living. My husband and I celebrated our 30th anniversary in February, we're healthy, happy and we love each other!

Take a Walk

I try to walk 3-4 times 45 minutes a week. I do it slowly and I pray. I notice when I walk I feel better mentally and physically. I admire God's trees, the flowers, the sky. I realize I need to lose weight, but I don't want the negative self-talk. I want to hear the "I can do this" mentality. I also don't want my happiness to be contingent on a scale, but on what I did to make the world and myself better inside and out.

Eat Mindfully

I have found that the key component to adhering to a proper eating plan and getting in exercise is: planning. I know, not very exciting. But it works! If I have meals planned ahead, then I am less likely to mindlessly nosh. It also helps to have meals prepared ahead--to the extent possible. Also, regular meals tends to reduce the temptation to stray from eating plan. This takes some time to do, but if you are wanting to improve your overall health, it's worth the time to do this.

Give Yourself a Break

I am used to rushing around, doing a million things for everybody. But recently I became exhausted, developed bronchitis, and literally could not get out of bed. I was forced to take time off from work, stop taking care of my elderly mother, and let my family fend for themselves.As I remained in bed sleeping most of the time for 5 days, I found that other people filled in for the things I couldn't do. My mother started doing more for herself and didn't complain as much. My husband and son got their own meals and did the chores, while bringing me soup and tea. Slowly I recovered, but I am more conscious of not doing everything myself and asking for help when I need it. It feels right to slow down and be gentle with myself.

"Pureness Of Hearts Is Knowing Your Intentions"

A Mary Heart

The Bible doesn't tell us a lot about Mary and Martha. They are mentioned by name only three times in Scripture: Luke 10:38-42, John 11:1-44, and John 12:1-11. But from these brief accounts, a fascinating picture develops of what life must have been like at the house in Bethany—and what life is often like for us.

They say variety is the spice of life. Perhaps that's why God so often puts people of such different personalities in the same family. (Either that, or he's trying to prepare us for marriage!) Mary was the sunlight to Martha's thunder. She was the caboose to Martha's locomotive. Mary's bent was to meander through life, pausing to smell the roses. Martha was more likely to pick the roses, quickly cut the stems at an angle, and arrange them in a vase with baby's breath and ferns.

That is not to say one is right and one is wrong. We are all different, and that is just as God made us to be. Each gifting and personality has its own strengths and weaknesses, its glories and temptations.
I find it interesting that when Jesus corrected Martha, he didn't say, "Why can't you be more like your sister, Mary?" He knew Martha would never be Mary, and Mary would never be Martha. But when the two were faced with the same choice---to work or to worship—Jesus said, "Mary has chosen the better part." To me, this implies the Better Part was available to both Mary and Martha. And it's available to each one of us, regardless of our gifting or personality. It's a choice we each can make.

It is true that, personality-wise, the choice may have come easier to Mary than it did to Martha. Mary does seem more mellow by nature, more prone to walk in the dew of the morning than to get caught up in the "dos" of the day.

I'm sure when Jesus dropped by unexpectedly that afternoon, Mary probably began the visit by serving, just as she had many times before. I can see her taking walking staffs and sleeping rolls as the disciples spill into her sister's well-ordered home. Buried beneath cloaks and backpacks, she watches the man who has taken the heart of Israel captive by his words. There is such joy and winsomeness about him, she can't help but be drawn to this man.

Could Jesus be the Messiah the people say he is? Mary wonders. She knows he's a great teacher, but could this actually be the Son of God admiring the tapestry she wove, drawing her out of her shyness and into the circle of his closest friends?

She drops the disciples' belongings in a corner and hurries to pour wine for the thirsty crew. There is an ease about them, a true camaraderie. The men laugh at each other's jokes as they wash down the dust of the road with the liquid she provides. Then they settle on low couches around the room, and Jesus begins to teach.

He speaks as none she ever heard before. There is a magnetism about his words, as though they contain breath and life—breath and life Mary hasn't known she needed until this day. She creeps closer and stands in a dark corner listening to Jesus, her arms wrapped around the empty pitcher.

She's aware of movement around her. Several servants busy themselves washing dirty feet, while another sets the table at the other end of the room for the meal to come. Mary knows there is plenty to do. And yet she is unable to move—except closer.

It isn't customary for a woman to sit with a group of men, but his words welcome her. Despite her natural reticence, she gradually moves forward until she's kneeling at his feet. His teaching envelops her, revealing truth to her hungry heart.

The Bible isn't clear whether or not this was Jesus' first visit to the home in Bethany. Martha's openness with Christ seems to indicate a prior acquaintance, but whatever the case, this day Mary chose to let someone else do the serving so she could do some listening. It isn't every day God visits your house. So she ignores tradition, she breaks social etiquette, and she presses closer. As close to Jesus as possible.

It doesn't matter that she might be misunderstood. She cares little that the disciples look at her strangely. Somewhere in the distance she hears her name, but it is drowned by the call of her Master. The call to come. The call to listen.
And listen she does.

"Unsaid Words"

Unsaid Unsent
AM for everyone

How many times that we should have told someone something that we really wanted them to know? How many times that we failed to inform them about what we really we wanted to say? How many times we postponed some announcements because we knew it will be devastating? How many time we say hi and goodbye but we really didn’t meant it? How many times we only keep to ourselves the sweet nothings that should be heard by our loved ones? How many times we did not greet our loved ones in their special occasions but we knew that they are waiting for us to say it?

And how many times that we really want to write but did not materialized because we suspend our judgments regarding other matters? How many times we tend to forget to send cards full of heartwarming words for our loved ones on their special occasions? How many times we did not appreciate the emails that we received from our loved ones? And this may be the right time that this article be sent to you. And may you understand the importance of remembering those who loved us, those who are willing to sacrifice for us. And the unsent and unsaid be out for the world to know!

Bountiful blessings

BLESSINGS

God hears your prayers

Offered with genuine tears

With His love and compassion

Carries you through all tribulation;

His answers are always the best

Throwing away other options to rest;

Today, if you to Him confess

Your sins and profess;

To abide always in His holy presence,

That would bring blessings immense.

'Live Your Life As If There Is No Tomorrow"

LIFE IS ...CRAZY BUT BEAUTIFUL

Life is so short if you notice it. You work from 9 to 5 each day and time flies so fast. Years end one by one..2005...2006 ...2007....2008 and before you knew it...2009.

And you ask yourself..

WHAT HAVE I DONE THROUGH ALL THE YEARS THAT PASSED.

Then you answer it with a negative note...Soon I will grow old and I haven't achieve anything GREAT. Nothing worth admiring or appreciating.Its sad isn't it? When you think that I COULD HAVE DONE MUCH MORE...Anyway its not too late guys...Even when you're already 30 or 40 or 50, LIFE CAN STILL BE EXTENDED... Each one of us has the capability to prolong whatever time we have left. It all depends on how we are willing to live our life.

HOW?

I will tell you...it's not physics nor the powers of medicine. Its not even "GODS WILL"... (In a way....) Yup....

THE ANSWER LIES WITHIN OURSELVES...
HOW WE LIVE EACH AND EVERY SINGLE DAY.

The reason why we felt life is short its because we take each day FOR GRANTED

We don't appreciate the sun coming up in the morning or the moon changing each shape each night. Wedon't listen to the birds chirping or smell the fresh scent of flowers in our backyard. We don't even sometimesrecognize that our friends did something different with their lives or attitudes or our neighbors waving at us. We are just too BUSY ON NOTICING THINGS AND TIME. That's what makes our lives short...by being too busy. Before we knew it our seconds, minutes, hours, days and years had gone by.

Guys we only live once...(unless you believe in reincarnation). Why not each morning you wake up, take sometime looking outside the window. Observe how your garden had grown or how the trees had change its branches. Maybe take sometime for yourself, do what you haven't done before that you long in doing...or do a good deed and consider it a coin in your lifebank. Find some time knowing your neighbors or chatting with them,not just people you love or meet everyday. LOOK FOR SOMETHING NEW...Thats the key...By doing so,it extends everything around us even time. BY ACCOMPLISHING SO MUCH...we can consider that we have lived our lives to the fullest. By touching the lives of different people from different races or statute we will feel that we have traveled so much and had gone a long long way.

SO FROM NOW ON.......

Each time you wake up in the morning

CONSIDER EVERY HOUR AS IF IT WERE YOUR LAST.

MAKE THE MOST OUT OF IT

Learn to appreciate

Touch lives Search for something new

Give time for yourself and when you die someday...you can say I have lived

A LONG and FULFILLING LIFE.

"Understanding & Appreciation"

Understanding & Appreciation;

The true essesnce of living.

To Understand others is not an easy task for all of us.To Appreciate is to learn to the importance of those who surrounds you then that will be the time we can truly appreciate someone.

Is it hard for us to appreciate those people who has been there all along with us during rough times?

For most individuals don't give importance in showing appreciation to others,most of us don't think it is important.We always neglect to show gratitude for someone whose been supporting us.Did it not just come to your mind that these people also need appreciation,all of us of course.Who don't?If someone would say he do not want to be appreciated then i'm sure he is one hell of a liar.

There are some reasons why we are hesitant to appreciate others:

1.Pride
2.Arrogance
3.Envious
4.Selfishness
5.Denial

Appreciation is a very important factor in life that helps the foundation of one person to be stronger.Most of us think that life is just a matter of surviving that leads us to questioning our self-worth & purpose in life.Appreciation & Understanding are essence of life that should not be neglected,it builds us a person , it helps us bring the best in each of us.Appreciation inspire each individuals.

Appreciation is an act that cannot be bought by money but the one who recieves a token of appreciation can be so rewarding to oneself.

We should try to express our appreciation to those we think that deserves it.Because it is not just that we are able to help these people have self-trust to achieve their dreams but we are helping ourselves to be more aware of people that surrounds us.

Appreciation is a gift that you can give to anyone without spending a single cent but will be remembered in a lifetime.

Sometimes we expressed appreciation but without sincerity it's better not to appreciate at all.Appreciation should be from the heart.Most of us appreciate others but for the sake of mockery & benefits that we could get from our act.

Understanding is an act of humbleness.Sometimes it is hard to accept others faults but exerting our effort to do so is humbling down our ego.If we can just be honest within ourselves only few people can do this, most of us won't even try to understand,to look at the bigger picture.We are blinded by our ego to listen to other's point of view.

The best way to understand a person is putting yourself in their shoes.Then analyze if you were in the situation what would you do & how will you face your issues.That is the time you can act & give a better judgement.Understanding is simple as it seems but it is one of the most hardest thing for most of us to do.

In realization all of us claim that we understand but we are acting far than we are expressing our words.I would like to tell to those who are willing & open minded.Try to always do what you say because most of us do things that differs from what we say we are .This is a fact,most of the the times subconciously but some are just in denial of accepting things that they are used to.
