Timeless Ways To Bring Joy & Peace Into Life ! - Part 4







Move!

The expression a "runner's high" does not infer an addiction, but a feeling or a state of mind - a state of euphoria. There is no question exercise, or any physical exertion, elevates your mood and enhances a more positive attitude as well as fosters better personal self-esteem and confidence. Indeed, one way to increase your happiness is to move!


Put on a Happy Face

Sometimes we have to fake it until we make it. I'm not suggesting that we not be honest, real or authentic, but I'm suggesting, sometimes, we just need to put on a happy face and keep moving forward. Researchers claim that smiling and looking like we are happy will indeed make us happier. Studies further show that if we act like we are happy then we can experience greater joy and happiness in our lives.


Pursue Your Goals

The absence of goals in our lives, or more specifically avoiding to pursue our goals, makes us feel like we are stuck and ineffective. The pursuit of goals in our personal lives, in our relationships, or with our careers, is the difference between having a mediocre life or a life full of passion and enthusiasm. Pursue your goals and watch your happiness soar.

Timeless Ways To Bring More Happiness.... Part 3





Remember the Kid You Were

Do you remember how to play? I'm not referring to playing a round of golf or a set of tennis. I'm talking about playing like you did when you were a child a game of tag; leap frog, or street baseball when the bat is a broken broom handle and the bases are the parked cars. One way to find or maintain your happiness is to remember the kid you were and play!


Notice What's Right

Some of us see the glass as being half-full and others see the glass as half-empty. The next time you are caught in traffic, begin thinking how nice it is to have a few moments to reflect on the day, focus on a problem you have been trying to solve, or brainstorm on your next big idea. The next time you get in the slow line at the grocery store, take the opportunity to pick up a tabloid magazine and do some "guilty pleasure reading. Take all that life throws out you and reframe it with what's right about the situation. At the end of the day, you will more content, at peace and happy. Take the time to begin to notice what's right and see the world change in front of your eyes.


Be Grateful

How many times do you say the words "thank you, in a day? How many times do you hear these same words? If you are doing the first thing, saying the "thank you", the latter will naturally happen. Learn to be grateful and you will be open to receive an abundance of joy and happiness.

Be Kind To Others & Rest For Self !


Be Kind

There is no question that by merely watching acts of kindness creates a significant elevation in our moods and increases the desire for us to perform good deeds as well. Kindness is indeed contagious and when we make a commitment to be kind to ourselves and to others we can experience new heights of joy, happiness and enthusiasm for our lives.


Rest

There are times when we need the time to unwind, decompress, or to put it simply, just to chill. Life comes at all of us hard and fast. Time, as do the days on the calendar, keeps going forward at its own natural pace, which is not always the pace we would choose. Fatigue, stress and exhaustion may begin to settle in on us faster than we may think, or notice. The best remedy for this is indeed rest.


ENJOY YOUR DAY !!!

Positive Morning Note !



"Today" is a gift
Given to you and to me,
And the only one like it
That there ever will be.
So please use it wisely,
Spread love and some cheer,
Because the days will quickly
Turn into a year.


Roses can mean most anything
A symbol of love or friendship true
But today this little rose
I'm sending just to you.


If God Answer Your Prayers
He Is Increasing Your Faith
If He Delays He Is Increasing Your Patience
If He Does Not Answer He Has Something Better For You


No Sound In This World Can Be Louder Than Silence &
If Someone Cant Understand Your Silence
They Can Never Understand Your Words ...............



Have a Wonderful Day !!

Inspirational Story What Life is all About ?"...


A Long time ago, there was an Emperor who told his horseman that if he could ride on his horse and cover as much land area as he likes, then the Emperor would give him the area of land he has covered.

Sure enough, the horseman quickly jumped onto his horse and rode as fast as possible to cover as much land area as he could. He kept on riding and riding, whipping the horse to go as fast as possible. When he was hungry,thirsty or tired, he did not stop because he wanted to cover as much area as possible. Came to a point when he had covered a substantial area and he was exhausted and was dying.

Then he asked himself, "Why did I pushed myself so hard to cover so much land area? Now I am dying and I only need a very small area to bury myself."

The above story is similar with the journey of our Life. We push very hard everyday tomake more money, to gain power and recognition. We neglect our health, time with our family and to appreciate the surrounding beauty and the hobbies we love to do. One day when we look back, we will realize that we don't really need that much, but then we cannot turn back time for what we have missed.

Life is not about making money, acquiring power or recognition. Life is definitely not about work! Work is only necessary to keep us living so as to enjoy the beauty and pleasures of life.

Lessons to Learn from The Story :
Life is a balance of Work and Play, Family and Personal time. You have to decide how you want to balance your Life. Define your priorities, realize what you are able to compromise but always let some of your decisions be based on your instincts. Happiness is the meaning and the purposeof Life, the whole aim of human existence. So, take it easy, do what you want to do and appreciate nature.

Life is fragile, Life is short. Do not take Life for granted.

Live a balance lifestyle and enjoy Life!

Beautiful Morning Poem !



The fact that you were born,
Is proof, God has a plan for you.
The path may seem unclear right now,
But one day you will see,
That all that came before,
Was truly meant to be,
God wrote the book that is Life,
That’s all you need to know.
Each day that you are living,
Was written long ago.
God only writes best sellers,
So be proud of who you are,
Your character is important,
In this book, you are the ‘Star'



Good Morning........Enjoy Your Day !!!

Have A Fresh Day !



Life's too short to dwell on things
that pull and tear on your heart strings
so park those thoughts that make you worry
and create new goals to which you''ll hurry.


Make your list of things to do
that always seemed not part of you
make yourself explore unknowns
write down your thoughts dig up those bones.


Take a step toward things that scare you
Show who''s boss while mind prepares to
overcome what seems unrealistic
before you lose it and go ballistic.

Romantic Morning Poem !!



Good morning, my love
on this new day awake
Hear the songs of the dove
my hand please now take.

As we start out this journey
Twixt daylight and dark
I pray that you know
You are first in my heart.

As the sun works it’s way
Slowly crossing the sky
Know I’m always here for you
Till the day I shall die.

I cherish every moment
Spent here by your side
For everything about you
Makes me feel so alive.

As it draws ever closer
Again to the night
I am so looking forward
To holding you tight.

Once more we shall journey
From dusk to the dawn
Entangled as lovers
To each other drawn.

Again in the morning
I know I shall wake
Beholding your beauty
With a smile on my face.

I’ll be here every morning
When again I shall say
Good morning my love
Have a wonderful day!

Joyful Morning Feelings !



Failure is blindness to the strategic element in events; success is readiness for instant action when the opportune moment arrives.

~ Newell Hillis


There is nothing love cannot face; there is no limit to its faith, its hope, and its endurance.

~ Bible, I Corinthians 13:7


Love is patient; love is kind; love is not envious or boastful or arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice in wrongdoing, but rejoices in the truth. It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.

~ Bible, Corinthians 13:4-7


One man gives freely, yet grows all the richer, another withholds what he should give, and only suffers want.

~ Bible, Proverbs 11:24

Smile From God - Morning With One In A Million Shot !!




Life is just like a sea, we are moving without end.
Nothing stays with us, what remain is just
the memories of some people who touched us as Waves.


A good way to change someone's attitude is to change our own.
Because, the same sun melts butter, also hardens clay!
Life is as we think, so think beautifully.


Whenever you want to know how rich you are?
Never count your currency,
just try to Drop a Tear and
count how many hands reach out to WIPE that,
that is true richness.


Never make the same mistake twice,
There are so many new ones,
Try a different one each day.



ENJOY THIS BEAUTIFUL DAY !!

Cool Morning Poem !!




How often we wish for another chance
To make a fresh beginning.
A change to blot out our mistakes.
To live a little better
And to always be forgiving,
To add a little sunshine
To the world in which we're living.
So never give up in despair
And think that you are through,
For there's always a tomorrow
And a chance to start a new.



Have a Wonderful Day !!

Refreshing Mornings Words !!!



Smooth roads never make good drivers
Smooth sea never makes good sailors
Clear Skies never makes good Pilots.
Problem and hassle free Life NEVER makes a person strong
Be Strong enough to accept the challenges of Life
Don't ask Life , "Why Me ?
Instead say "Try Me !"


The World does not need

More Mountains to climb,
More seas to cross,
Or more stars to shine,
What the World needs is
Only more of U & UR smile !


Always put yourself in others' shoes.
If you feel that it hurts you,
It probably hurts the other person, too.


Life is short and
we have never too much time
for gladdening the hearts of
those who are traveling
the dark journey with us.


HAVE A BLESSED DAY! GOOD MORNING!
