"If Love Is True It Will Never Fail"

To the man i love,

i'm so sorry for hurting you , just want you to know that
I LOVE YOU SO MUCH


If people lOve you, be thankful that

you're One of the few whom certain people chose to show their emotions too...

LOve does not demand to be back, but it doesn't mean it exists to

be taken for granted.

If you can't return the LOve you're given, don't let it linger to grow alOne.

If you don't want it , refuse kindly.

LOve may not demand but it also deserves a heart that will better understand...

"Listens"


Being Kind is much more impOrtant than being Right....
For sOmetimes what a person needs is not "Brilliant Mind"
that speaks, but a Patient heart that
listens....

"Optimism"

Life and God are one and the same. You are God's child. God would never close all the doors around you. His unlimited love and compassion wouldn't allow Him to be that cruel. God always keeps more than one door open. They may look as if they were closed, but they have, in fact, been left slightly ajar.

Just a mild knock is enough and they'll give way. But our eyes are blinded by our ignorance. We fail to see the open doors through which the light of God's grace is pouring in.My child, never lose courage. Never lose your trust in God or in life. Always be optimistic, no matter what situations you find yourself in. It's very important to be optimistic. Pessimism is a form of darkness, a form of ignorance that prevents God's light from entering into your life.





Pessimism is like a curse, an illusory curse created by the illusory mind. Life is filled with God's light, but only by being optimistic will you experience that light.Look at the optimism of nature. Nothing can stop it. Every aspect of nature tirelessly contributes its share to life. The participation of a little bird, and animal, a tree, or a flower is always complete. No matter what the hardships, they continue to try, wholeheartedly.

Only humans are pessimistic, and this causes suffering.Amma knows it isn't easy to always be optimistic. You may ask, how is it possible to be optimistic in the face of the many hardships and sorrows in life? It is true that it's difficult--but by being pessimistic you move towards even greater despair and darkness. All your strength and clarity of mind gets dissipated, and in the darkness of pessimism you feel abandoned and isolated. Optimism is the light of God. It is a form of grace which allows you to be much more perceptive and to look at life with greater clarity.

Who Is God?


The term God is common but can be problematic. It is fan how most of us can profess the name but without knowing what the word or the personality who is being described is.

who is God or what is God is an everlasting qoestion thius suggests that before we even ask the question someone heard asked the same question. What amaze me is the fact that the qeustion being everlasting does not have an everlasting answer

However this term or this pesonality can be know and can be defined. Why is it then we do not have the same definiton. FOr example what is a car will universaly have the same answer but what is God will not universally recieve the same answer.

God is a term that was coined by Theologians from different religions to mean a Divine Being that is surprime and above all that was ever created. The challege we encounter is as a result of different religion and different Gods. You arte right we are faced with the other crucial question, "if there are more than one God , then which one is the real one" At the same time the term real is very relative and can impliy alot of things. We can be sure however, that the God can be characterized by love and truth and holiness, is this in your God if yes then He is the real one, his love is unconditional.God further more is a living being and spirit
HOW TO REPLACE BAD HABITS WITH GOOD HABITS----------?



Habit plays very important part in our life. They have their effect on every thing we do. Our life is made up of collection of habits. Some are good & some are bad. The practice of good ones enriches our life---&--bad once weakens our life.

According to me some important steps are there to be follow: ---------------------------------------------------
We must sincerely intend to give up bad habits & want to cultivate good habits. When we suffer the effects, we understand the importance of giving up bad habits.

Fight against the habit with all the power at your command.

“A HABIT CAN NOT BE TOSSED OUT OF THE WINDOW; IT MUST BE DROPED DOWN THE STAIRS ASTEP AT ATIME.”

If no body knows about our resolution to give up a bad habit, then no body knows if we break it. This is not good since much of our behavior is determined

By social approval or disapproval. There for it will be helpful to let a few of our trusted friends knows what to accept their watchfulness.

Slowly the undesirables thought can be replaced, consciously by a desirable one since both can’t be held in the mind at the same time.

“USE THE VISUAL & VERBAL METHOTS OF HABIT BUILDING.”

In this ways bad habits are driven out, new one established, & the whole pattern of our life becomes an increasingly positive, creative & satisfying one.

“The will to win, the desire to succeed, the urge to reach your full potential these are the keys that will unlock the door to personal excellence.

"Power Of Words"

Science is not belief, but the will to find out, it is organized common sense where some beautiful theories were killed by ugly facts - just as houses are made of stones, so is science made of facts - and WE see only what we know!

COMPROMISE: Let's agree to respect each others view, no matter how wrong yours may be ;P - seriously, just sharing my "confusion" about some "modern world issues" ;)


The power of words

I read this article today and it reminded me of a blog I've read last week... no name, but the entire blog was an "insult" from page 1 - page 7 or so, from the topic up to the comments...And I thought this article is a great reminder... sometimes I have to remind myself ;)Words can inform our mind, caress and comfort our feelings, excite and thrill our spirit, or warm and kindle the flame of our hearts. They can also slap our face, punch us in the stomach, rattle our nerves, kill our desire, or destroy our self-confidence.

Of course this is metaphorical, but these metaphors capture in words our physical reactions to what is said, and that is the power of language. It can emotionally move and affect us as powerfully as physical actions. In an average day we may use as many as 40,000 words, the equivalent of four to six hours of continuous speechWe use these words with much ease and usually little self-conscious thought.

We simply open our mouths, and out they come. With our words we express our beliefs, and ourselves while at the same time imparting some affect on those we are speaking to, and they, vice-versa to us. It is this very influence that our words have that truly gives them their power. We all, at times overlook the far-reaching strength of our words, but this ignorance makes us no less susceptible to their power.We have many superstitions about how we use our words. We are afraid to talk about events of which the outcome is still pending, for fear that our words will negatively affect what will happen.

The power of language starts to influence us in early childhood. We learn to associate certain words with the opinions expressed around those words. These associations are likely to stick in our minds even when we reach adulthood. In this way words gain some of their power through our unconscious. We are conditioned by the words we use and hear frequently, and they become second nature to us. This causes a problem when a word loses its literal meaning and becomes distorted in or own minds by the emotional connotations that surround it. "If words are not trustworthy in the privacy of our heads, they are even less so when they are converted to speech or writing.

We then become less able to relay what we really want to say because the words carry meanings that only we know the emotional connotations of. This is not only a problem when we are talking to someone else, but also when he or she is speaking to us. They may have their own emotional links to certain words; this then can cause our interpretation of what is being said to be different from what is actually meant.In human relationships, words can be especially powerful and sometimes dangerous.

We tend to use labels to define people and situation. In the worst cast, labels can reduce an issue to its simplest form, causing its importance or uniqueness to be lost. When labels are aimed at people, they can have the effect of dehumanizing a person by shrinking their entire being down to a single word. This is apparent in racism, sexism, and narrow-mindedness. The power of our words is twisted to override reason. Toni Morrison phrased it this way, "Oppressive language does more than represent violence; it is violence; it does more than represents the limits of knowledge; it limits knowledge . . ." We have all heard the saying, "Sticks and stones will break my bones, but names will never hurt me!"

Children learn to say this usually after being the object of name-calling. But this saying couldn't be further from the truth. Our bones usually did make it through just fine, but something had been hurt. This is yet another aspect of the power that words carry. They can hurt us, and usually with a more deep and lasting effect than a physical injury could cause.Ultimately, we all hold the power of words within ourselves.

Whatever powers we give them, and however they may influence us, they are things of our own creation. With this knowledge we are charged with a great responsibility. Words reflect and give wings to everything that is inside of us, and for good or for bad, they can express what we truly are as nothing else can.How much are words able to hurt you? (written or spoken). And in what kind of situations?


I'll meet you halfway. I'll meet you HALF WAY.

I used to be, until recently, the kind of person that would try too hard sometimes. To keep a friendship. To do whatever it took to show my affection, appreciation, desire to be in your life. Basically I was some distorted form of a kiss ass.Then I decided to stop. You can't stop right away 100%, because it's behaviour that comes naturally, familiarly and sometimes you only realize you acted the same way, after the fact.

That's how change is, it's an evolving, continuous and step by step process of re-conditioning and waking up.I would more than likely meet you beyond half way and sometimes all the way at your end. Over and over again. Now I like to play more evenly.

Of course due to gratefulness there are a certain few individuals I still bend over backwards for. But if you're a new recruit in my life, don't expect such treatment. And if you're from my past and you've abused your "special" status, be sure, it will be re-voked upon new inspection.Who died and made you think you were above me? I guess it's more like: Who woke up and made me realize I was just as good if not better than you?.

So you wanna be all cool and aloof? Go knock yourself out with that. You want me to always reach out to you? Hhhhmmm yeah, ok. You want to respond only at your convenience while I sit and wait for you? You want to greet me with a wall while I open my arms to you? You want to think I need you and there's not much I can offer you in return?

Well, you are entitled to be and think that way. And I am entitled to sit here, at my end, not moving again until you extend your pompous self.I will gladly meet you half way then. But not an inch further my friend. Please note: This blog is not directed at anyone in particular. More like a mass communication to some in the past, some in the present and all in the future.
