A Lesson of Love !

There was once a lonely girl who longed desperately for love. One day while she was walking in the woods she found two starving song birds. She took them home and put them in a small glided cage. She nurtured them with love and the birds grew strong. Every morning they greeted her with a marvelous song. The girl felt great love for the birds. She wanted their singing to last forever.

One day the girl left the door to the cage open. The larger and stronger of the two birds flew from the cage. The girl watched anxiously as he circled high above her. She was so frightened that he would fly away and she would never see him again that as he flew close, she grasped at him wildly. She caught him in her fist. She clutched him tightly within her hand. Her heart gladdened at her success in capturing him. Suddenly she felt the bird go limp. She opened her hand stared in horror at the dead bird. Her desperate clutching love had killed him.

She noticed the other bird teetering on the edge of the cage. She could feel his great need for freedom. His need to soar into the clear, blue sky. She lifted him from the cage and tossed him softly into the air. The bird circled once, twice, three times.

The girl watched delighted at the bird's enjoyment. Her heart was no longer concerned with her loss. She wanted the bird to be happy. Suddenly the bird flew closer and landed softly on her shoulder. It sang the sweetest melody, she had ever heard.

"The fastest way to lose love is to hold on too tight, the best way to keep love is to give it -- WINGS!"

Cute Morning Words !!

Warm hello doesn’t come from the lips,

It comes from the heart,

Doesn’t have to be told,

It has to be shown,

Doesn’t have to be given,

It has to be sent.

Take time to greet the dawn,

Watch the light appear up high,

As an orange sun starts rising

In the Eastern sky.

The birds are chirping merrily

As a brand new day begins,

So enjoy this lovely morning

And the beauty that it brings.

Through each day our goal is to touch one'e heart;

Encourage one's mind and inspire one's soul

May you continually be blessed,

And be a blessing to other

 

Good Morning...…

 

A Lovely Story - Perfect Peace !!

There once was a king who offered a prize to the artist who would paint the best picture of peace. Many artists tried.

The king looked at all the pictures. But there were only two he really liked, and he had to choose between them.

One picture was of a calm lake. The lake was a perfect mirror for peaceful towering mountains all around it. Overhead was a blue sky with fluffy white clouds. All who saw this picture thought that it was a perfect picture of peace.

The other picture had mountains, too. But these were rugged and bare. Above was an angry sky, from which rain fell and in which lightning played. Down the side of the mountain tumbled a foaming waterfall. This did not look peaceful at all.

But when the king looked closely, he saw behind the waterfall a tiny bush growing in a crack in the rock. In the bush a mother bird had built her nest. There, in the midst of the rush of angry water, sat the mother bird on her nest-in perfect peace.

Which picture do you think won the prize? The king chose the second picture. Do you know why?

"Because," explained the king, "peace does not mean to be in a place where there is no noise, trouble, or hard work. Peace means to be in the midst of all those things and still be calm in your heart.

HAVE A HAPPY WEEKEND !!!

Make the Best Use of Every Moment !

If you want your dreams to come true, you mustn't oversleep.





The pursuit of happiness is the chase of a lifetime !
It is never too late to become what you might have been.
Just about the time when you think you can make ends meet,
somebody moves the ends.





Whoever said nothing is impossible,
never tried slamming a revolving door....




Almost everything in life is easier to get into than to get out of.




Resistance drains energy , Acceptance saves it Cheerfulness sustains it !




The trouble with life is that it's a do-it-yourself kit without instructions.




"Teamwork is essential -- it allows you to blame someone else."




 Never let the fear of failing keep you off frm playing the game


WHAT A BEAUTIFUL DAY !!!

Good Morning Thoughts !!

The greatest good you can do for another is
not just to share your riches but to reveal to him his own.

~   Benjamin Disraeli






How beautiful a day can be
When kindness touches it!


~   George Elliston






Sometimes someone says something really small,
and it just fits right into this empty place in your heart.

~   From the television show My So-Called Life






Something that has always puzzled me all my life is why,
when I am in special need of help,
the good deed is usually done by somebody
on whom I have no claim.

~   William Feather






Real charity doesn't care if it's tax-deductible or not.

~   Dan Bennett






When your suffering is a little greater than my suffering
I feel that I am a little cruel.

~   Antonio Porchia


HAVE A BLESSED DAY !!

Beautiful Today !!

I may never see tomorrow;

there's no written guarantee,

And things that happened yesterday belong to history,

I cannot predict the future,

I cannot change the past,

I have just the present moment,

I must treat it as my last,

I must use this moment wisely for it soon will pass away,

and be lost to me forever as part of yesterday,

I must exercise compassion,

help the fallen to their feet,

Be a friend unto the friendless,

make an empty life complete,

The unkind things I do today may never be undone,

And friendships that I fail to win may nevermore be won,

I may not have another chance on bended knee to pray,

And thank God with humble heart for giving me this day.

LIVE YOUR DAY !!!

Maybe .... Series 1/4

Maybe . . .
We were supposed to meet the wrong people
before meeting the right one,
So that when we finally meet the right person,
we will know how to be grateful for that gift.






Maybe . . .
When the door of happiness closes, another opens; but,
often times, we look so long at the closed door that
we don't even see the new one which has been opened for us.






Maybe . . .
It is true that we don't know what we have until we lose it,
but it is also true that we don't know what
we have been missing until it arrives.






Maybe . . .
The happiest of people don't necessarily have the best of everything;
they just make the most of everything that comes along their way.




ENJOY THE FIRST DAY OF THE WEEK !!

There is Always a Another Way !!

WISHING ALL OUR READERS A VERY HAPPY & PROSPEROUS DIWALI !!!

Ever since I was a child, I always had a fear of some one under my bed at night.

So I went to psychiatrist and told him :

'I've got problems. Every time I go to bed I think there's somebody under it. I'm scared.

I think I'm going crazy.'

'Just put yourself in my hands for one year,' said the psychiatrist.

'Come talk to me three times a week and we should be able to get rid of those fears.'

'How much do you charge?'

'Eighty dollars per visit,' replied the doctor.

'I'll sleep on it and if needed I will come back to you,' I said.

Six months later the Psychiatrist met me on the street.

'Why didn't you come to see me about those fears you were having?' he asked.

'Well, Eighty bucks a visit three times a week for a year is an awful lot of money!

A bartender cured me for $10. I was so happy to have saved all that money

that I went and bought me a new SUV.

'Is that so!' With a bit of an attitude he said, 'and how, may I ask, did a bartender cure you?'

'He told me to cut the legs off the bed - ain't nobody under there now!

MORAL OF THE STORY : There is always another way to solve a problem !!

Motivational Morning Feelings !

It's true that we don't know What we've got until it's gone,

But it's also true that we don't know
What we've been missing until it arrives..




You can win more friends with your ears than you can with your mouth !




When God allows a burden to be put upon you,
He will put his arms underneath you to help you carry it.




Say what you mean, mean what you say, but don't say it mean.




Worry is like a rocking chair--it gives you something to do but it doesn't get you anywhere.




In prayer you communicate with God, in meditation God communicates with you.




A weird thing about humans is we work till we're sick to get a fortune,
then pay a fortune to get well again.




God always gives His best to those who leave the choice with Him.

Wake Up To The Festival of Lights !!!

Note : Today begins the FESTIVAL OF LIGHTS - DIWALI in India with the first day known as "DHANTERAS". In the word Dhanteras, "Dhan" stands for wealth. On Dhanteras, Goddess Laxmi is worshiped to provide prosperity and well being. Hence Dhan Teras holds a lot more significance for the business community.


We come into this world crying while all around us are smiling.

May we so live that we go out of this world smiling

while everybody around us is weeping.

~ Persian proverb

The supreme excellence is not to

win a hundred victories in a hundred battles.

The supreme excellence is to subdue the armies

of your enemies without even having to fight them.

~ Lao-Tzu - Chinese Philosopher

In prayer it is better to have a heart without words

then words without a heart

~ Mahatma Gandhi

Life is 10 percent what you make it and

90 percent how you take it.

~ Irving Berlin

Man is so made that whenever anything fires his soul,

impossibilities vanish.

WISHING A HAPPY "DHANTERAS" TO ALL OUR READERS ACROSS THE WORLD !!!

Magical Morning Poem !!

A lovely rose with petals soft

A scent so sweet and light

So beautiful a flower

With colors shining bright.

But something not so savory

About the fragrant rose -

The thorns, so sharp upon the stem,

That sharpen as it grows.

Yet still lovely is the flower

Despite the thorns that prick

Just as life and love are sweet

They too have thorns that stick.

But do not fear to live or love,

Life's not exempt from pain -

So pick a rose, you may get hurt,

But you will also gain!

Have a Great Day!!

Enjoy A Fresh Morning !

Open your eyes so the sun can rise
Flowers can blossom
Birds can sing
Because all are waiting to

see your beautiful smile.

Difficulties are of amazing nature.

For some these are speed breakers and

for others they are an opportunity to jump.

Intelligent & Respectful people always have
Attitude of Fact Finding, Not Fault Finding.

Dont accept other's definition of life
Its your life, so define it yourself, the way you love it to be.
Be Yourself because none knows about you better than YOU.

If your mind is positive,

you would like all the people in the world.
If your tongue is positive,

all the people in the world will like you.

Story of a Tea Cup - Enjoy The Beautiful Morning !!

"There was a time when I was just a dumb lump of red clay. Then one day my master came. He took me, brought me home, rolled and pounded me on a wooden table. Again and again, he poked his fingers into me until finally I yelled out: 'Don't do that! Leave me alone!' But he only smiled and gently said: "Not yet!"

Then, whoommmm! I was placed on a spinning wheel and suddenly spun around and around and around until I lost all my sense of direction: 'Stop it; don't you see that I'm getting sick? Quickly, take me from the spinning wheel!' But the master only nodded in understanding and quietly said:

"Not yet!"

Then he placed me carefully into an oven. I never felt such heat. I yelled and knocked and pounded at the door: 'It is hotter than hell - I'm burning to ashes. Please get me out of here before it is too late.' I could only read his lips as he shook his head from side to side and silently pronounced, "Not yet!"

After I had cooled down he carefully picked me up, looked at me and brushed some dust away. Then he brought the colors! The fumes were horrible! 'Please... You have no mercy! Please, Stop it!' But he only shook his head and said: "Not yet!"

An hour or later he came back and placed a mirror before me and said: "Look at yourself!" And I did.What I saw amazed me. 'That's not me!' I said. 'It is too beautiful...' With a very compassionate voice he spoke: "This is what you are meant to be," and then he explained: "I know it hurt you when I rolled and kneaded you on the table. But if I had not gotten the air out of you, you would have broken. I knew you must have lost all your sense of orientation when I was spinning you. But without this you would never have come into this form. I know the fumes of the colors were intolerable when I painted you all over. But if I had not done that, you would not have had any color in your life."

God is the potter and we are the clay. He will mold us and will expose us to just enough pressures of just the right kinds that we will become a perfect piece of His liking.

Live Life !!

You wake up in the morning,

Do you know what you're going to do?

Do you have any appointments

That are waiting for you?

How will you spend your day?

Don't waste it at all you see,

You only live it once

Make it the very best that it can be.

Moving on is simple,

what you leave behind,

that makes it so difficult.

It takes a minute to like some one,

an hour to love some one,

but to forget some one

it takes a life time.

Two thoughts that decide the progress in your life

The way you interact when you have nothing in hand and

the way you manage when you have everything in hand

GOOOOD MORNING !!!!

Great Morning Thoughts !!

Make it a practice to judge persons and things

GOOD MORNING !!!

Inspirational Morning Poem !!

Whatever you give away today,

or think or say or do

will multiply about tenfold

and then return to you.

It may not come immediately,

nor from the obvious source

but the law applies unfailingly,

through some invisible force.

Whatever you feel about another,

be it love or hate or passion

will surely bounce right back to you

in some clear (or secret) fashion

If you speak about some person,

a word of praise or two,

soon, tens of other people

will speak kind words of you.

Our thoughts are broadcasts of the soul,

not secrets of the brain.

Kind ones bring us happiness;

petty ones, untold pain.

Giving works as surely

as reflections in a mirror.

If hate you send, hate you'll get back,

but loving brings love nearer.

Remember,as you start this day

and duty crowds your mind,

that kindness comes so quickly back

to those who first are kind.

Let that thought and this one

direct us through each day.

The only things we ever keep

are the things we give away.
