Light From Within

People are like stained-glass windows.They sparkle and shine when the sun is out, but when the darkness sets in, their true beauty is revealed only if there is a light from within .

- Elisabeth Kubler Ross

Expect

Only a person you expect the most can disappoint you the most. 

- Wilson Kanadi

Kindness Is Like Sugar

Kindness is like sugar, it makes life taste a little sweeter. 

Sometimes

Sometimes, you just can't tell anybody how you really feel. Not because you don't know why. Not because you don't know your purpose. Not because you don't trust them. But because you can't find the right words to make them understand. 

When You Love Someone

When you love someone, they never get lost;

 wherever they go, they are still somewhere in your heart and as long as they know that, they will always know that when they find you, they find themselves once again. 

I Know God Will

I know God will not give me anything I can't handle. I just wish that He didn't trust me so much. 

- Mother Teresa

Two Wolves

One evening an old Cherokee told his grandson about a debate that goes on inside people. He said,"My son, the battle between two wolves is inside us all. One is Evil. It is anger, envy, jealousy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego.

The other is good. It is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion, and faith.

The grandson thought about this for a minute and then asked his grandfather: "Which wolf wins?"

The old Cherokee simply replied, "The one you feed." 

Often in life

Often in life we forget the things we should remember and remember the things we should forget.

You can close your eyes

You can close your eyes to things you don't want to see, but you can't close your heart to the things you don't want to feel.

When You're Down

When you're down to nothing, GOD is up to something!

The Final Analysis

People are often unreasonable, 
illogical and self-centered; 
Forgive them anyway.

If you are kind,
 people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives; 
Be kind anyway.

If you are successful, 
you will win some false friends and some true enemies;
 Succeed anyway.

If you are honest and frank,
 people may cheat you; 
Be honest and frank anyway.

What you spend years building, 
someone may destroy overnight;
Build anyway.

If you find serenity and happiness,
 they may be jealous;
Be happy anyway.

The good you do today, 
people will often forget tomorrow;
Do good anyway.

Give the world the best you have, 
and it may never be enough;
Give the world the best you've got anyway.

You see, in the final analysis, 
it is all between you and God;

It was never between you and them anyway. 

-Mother Teresa

Trust

A little girl and her father were crossing a bridge.

The father was kind of scared so he asked his little daughter:
"Sweetheart, please hold my hand so that you don't fall into the river." The little girl said:
"No, Dad. You hold my hand."
"What's the difference?" Asked the puzzled father.

"There's a big difference," replied the little girl.
"If I hold your hand and something happens to me, chances are that I may let your hand go. But if you hold my hand, I know for sure that no matter what happens, you will never let my hand go."

In any relationship, the essence of trust is not in its bind, but in its bond. So hold the hand of the person whom you love rather than expecting them to hold yours... 

Expect nothing

 Expect nothing and you'll be surprised of something. 

- Wilson Kanadi

You too can become great.

Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great make you feel that you, too, can become great.

- Mark Twain

Don't be afraid of shadows

 

Don't be afraid of shadows, they just mean there's a light shining somewhere near. 

Kindness

With every act of love you do today, you weave one or more golden thread in the blanket that will warm you tomorrow.

Kindness

Kind actions begin with kind thoughts. 

Being smart

Being smart isnt about knowing everything,

It's about knowing everything that's right.

Rose

Even the most beautiful roses have thorns. 

Nature

"Forget not that the earth delights to feel your bare feet and the winds long to play with your hair." 

-Khalil Gibran

Living For

Nothing in the Nature lives for itself.

Rivers don't drink their own water. 

Trees don't eat their own fruit. 

Sun doesn't give heat for itself. 

Flowers don't spread fragrance for themselves.

Living For Others, is the rule of Nature.

Giving

Blessed are those who can give without remembering, 

and take without forgetting.

- Princess Elizabeth, Asquith Bibesco

Your Angel

A baby asked God, "They tell me you are sending me to earth tomorrow, but how am I going to live there being so small and helpless?"

"Your angel will be waiting for you and will take care of you."

The child further inquired, "But tell me, here in heaven I don't have to do anything but sing and smile to be happy."

God said, "Your angel will sing for you and will also smile for you. And you will feel your angel's love and be very happy."

Again the child asked, "And how am I going to be able to understand when people talk to me if I don't know the language?"

God said, "Your angel will tell you the most beautiful and sweet words you will ever hear, and with much patience and care, your angel will teach you how to speak."

"And what am I going to do when I want to talk to you?"

God said, "Your angel will place your hands together and will teach you how to pray."

"Who will protect me?"

God said, "Your angel will defend you even if it means risking it's life."

"But I will always be sad because I will not see you anymore."

God said, "Your angel will always talk to you about Me and will teach you the way to come back to Me, even though I will always be next to you."

At that moment there was much peace in Heaven, but voices from Earth could be heard and the child hurriedly asked, "God, if I am to leave now, please tell me my angel's name."

"You will simply call her, 'Mom.'"

Best Memories

The best memories

are the ones that

you try to explain

but in the end...

you just say...

you had to be there. 

You've got to take

You've got to take the good with the bad, 
smile with the sad, 

love what you've got, 

and remember what you had.

 Always forgive, but never forget. 

Learn from mistakes, but never regret. 

I Sure Made a Difference for that One

A small boy lived by the ocean. He loved the creatures of the sea, especially the starfish, and spent much of his time exploring the seashore.

One day he learned there would be a minus tide that would  leave the starfish  stranded on the sand. The day of the tide he went down to the beach and began picking up stranded starfish and tossing them back into the sea. 

An  elderly man who lived next door came down to the beach to see what he was doing. "I'm saving the starfish," the boy proudly declared. 

When the neighbor saw all of the stranded starfish, he shook his head and said "I'm sorry to disappoint  you, young man, but if you  look down the beach one way, there stranded star fish as far as the eye can see. And if you look down the beach the other way, it's the same. One little boy like isn't  going to make such of a difference.

The boy thought about this for a moment. Then he reached his small hand down to the sand, picked up a starfish, tossed it out into the ocean and said, "I sure make a difference for that one."
