Quotations.

"Unless you are prepared yourself to profit by your chance, the opportunity will only make you ridiculous. A great occasion is valuable to you in proportion as you have educated yourself to make use of it." - Orison Swett Marden, best-selling author and New Thought leader. "Each man had only one genuine vocation - to find the way to himself....His task was to discover his own destiny - not an arbitrary one - and to live it out wholly and resolutely within himself. Everything else was only a would-be existence, an attempt at evasion, a flight back to the ideals of the masses, conformity and fear of one's own inwardness." - Hermann Hesse, best-selling author. "You Are In the Right Place, At the Right Time, Doing the Right Thing, With the Right People, For the Right Reason, Everything is Perfect. You Can Have the Right Results! All you need is a Right Heart & Mind... an Open Heart & Mind. & remember to keep your Eyes Open too!" - Anon "Synchronicity is an ever present reality for those who have eyes to see." - Carl Jung, was a Swiss psychiatrist, an influential thinker and the founder of analytical psychology. "There is no such thing as chance; and what seem to us merest accident springs from the deepest source of destiny." - Friedrich Schiller, was a German poet, philosopher, historian, and playwright. "Though we can't always see it at the time,if we look upon events with some perspective, we see things always happen for our best interests. We are always being guided in a way better than we know ourselves." - Swami Satchidananda, was an Indian religious teacher, spiritual master and yoga adept. "With Synchronicity, all the resources we need are made available to us at the precise moment that is appropriate. The people who come into our lives are the ones we need at that moment in time. Everything is perfect. We only need to recognise this to tune into the flow. Everything happens for a Reason and Every Experience is a Learning Experience." - Alex Chua, author and life coach.

Old Person's Prayer

Old Person's Prayer God, you know that I am growing older. Keep me from becoming too talkative, and particularly keep me from falling into the tiresome habit of expressing an opinion on every subject. Release me from craving to straighten out everyone's affairs. Keep my mind free from recital of endless details. Give me wings to get to the point. Give me grace, dear God, to listen to others describe their aches and pains. Help me endure the boredom with patience and keep my lips sealed, for my own aches and pains are increasing in number and intensity, and the pleasure of discussing them is becoming sweeter as the years go by. Teach me the glorious lesson that occasionally, I might be mistaken. Keep me reasonably sweet. I do not wish to be a saint (saints are so hard to live with), but a sour old person is the work of the devil. Make me thoughtful, but not moody, helpful, but not pushy, independent, yet able to accept with graciousness favours that others wish to bestow on me. Free me of the notion that simply because I have lived a long time, I am wiser than those who have not lived so long. If I do not approve of some of the changes that have taken place in recent years, give me the wisdom to keep my mouth shut. GOD knows that when the end comes, I would like to have a friend or two left.

INVITATION

The Invitation It doesn't interest me what you do for a living. I want to know what you ache for, And if you dare to dream of meeting your heart's longing. It doesn't interest me how old you are. I want to know if you will risk looking like a fool for love, For your dreams, for the adventure of being alive. It doesn't interest me what planets are squaring your moon. I want to know if you have touched the center of your own sorrow, If you have been opened by life's betrayals or Have become shriveled and closed from fear of further pain! I want to know if you can sit with pain, mine or your own; If you can dance with wildness and let the ecstasy fill you To the tips of your fingers and toes without cautioning us to be careful, Be realistic, or to remember the limitations of being human. It doesn't interest me if the story you're telling me is true. I want to know if you can disappoint another to be true to yourself, If you can bear the accusation of betrayal and not betray your own soul. I want to know if you can see beauty Even when it is not pretty every day, And if you can source your life from God's presence. I want to know if you can live with failure, yours and mine, And still stand on the edge of a lake and shout to the silver of the full moon, "Yes!" It doesn't interest me to know where you live or how much money you have, I want to know if you can get up after the night of grief and despair, Weary and bruised to the bone, and do what needs to be done for the children. It doesn't interest me who you are, how you came here, I want to know if you will stand in the center of the Fire with me and not shrink back. It doesn't interest me where or what or with whom you have studied. I want to know what sustains you from the inside when all else falls away, I want to know if you can be alone with yourself, And if you truly like the company you keep in the empty moments.

VALUE OF FRIENDSHIP

What is friendship? It is a door that opens, an outstretched hand, encourages you smile, a look that you understand, a tear that attaches to your pain, a word that encourages you, and critique you better. It is a forgiving embrace, applause stimulates you, an encounter that will rejoice, a favor without reward, a giving without demanding, delivery without calculating, and wait ... tirelessly. I value friendship blessed with all my heart. Much love from heart to your heart..

Touching of heart

Whatever our hands touch--- We leave fingerprints! On walls, on furniture, On doorknobs, dishes, books, As we touch we leave our identity. Oh please where ever I go today, Help me leave heartprints! Heartprints of compassion Of understanding and love. Heartprints of kindness and genuine concern. A person who cannot Love people starts loving objects. Have A Loving Day.....Friends Take Care...... YOU ARE PRECIOUS There is a light that shines beyond all things on earth, beyond the highest, the very highest heavens. This is the light that shines in your heart."

SUCCESS DOES NOT HAPPEN IN OISOLATION

Success Does Not Happen In Isolation There was a farmer who grew superior quality and award-winning corn. Each year he entered his corn in the state fair where it won honor and prizes. One year a newspaper reporter interviewed him and learnt something interesting about how he grew it. The reporter discovered that the farmer shared his seed corn with his neighbors. "How can you afford to share your best seed corn with your neighbors when they are entering corn in competition with yours each year?" the reporter asked. "Why sir, "said the farmer, "didn't you know? The wind picks up pollen from the ripening corn and swirls it from field to field. If my neighbors grow inferior, sub-standard and poor quality corn, cross-pollination will steadily degrade the quality of my corn. If I am to grow good corn, I must help my neighbors grow good corn." The farmer gave a superb insight into the connectedness of life. His corn cannot improve unless his neighbor's corn also improves. So it is in the other dimensions! Those who choose to be at harmony must help their neighbors and colleagues to be at peace. Those who choose to live well must help others to live well. The value of a life is measured by the lives it touches. Success does not happen in isolation. It is very often a participative and collective process. So share the good practices, ideas, new learning with your family, team members, neighbors.

ONLY WOMAN CAN DO

A woman cries ... tears when she's wounded...replaced with
smiles when she knows she will heal soon.

A woman loves ... with her soul, deep and true ... with all that
she knows.....

A woman tries ... through every wrong, ... forgives past sins
and finds the strength to move on.

A woman gives ... everything inside her ... she does not hold
back because of the fears that remind her ... she could be hurt,
be taken in, ... a woman protects herself with the love that lies
within.....

Only a woman knows the secret truths that hide beneath the
surface of her warmth and kindness.

Only a woman knows the tender touch that can heal all
wrongs and relieve all fears.

Only a woman can give her all and have love left to give when
the giving is done.

Only a woman ... with a woman's heart ... can understand and
accept ... the many pains she will encounter.

Only a woman ... with a woman's heart ... can possibly know
the strength of her heart.....

A woman knows ... if all she owns was taken ... there are
parts of her, the best of her ... that nothing on earth can ever
take away ... the woman's heart, the woman's depths.

Only a woman knows ... it's the love within that makes her who
she is, and love without pain could be a love that is dead.
