Everything that happens to you is a teacher.

The secret is to learn to sit at the feet of your own life and be taught by it.

Everything that happens is either a blessing, which is also a lesson, or a lesson which is also a blessing.

The only devils in this world are those running in your own heart.

That is where the battles should be fought.

'Mahatma Gandhi'

I will live this Day as if it were

Christmas; I will be a giver of

gifts and deliver to my enemies

the gift of forgiveness; my

opponents, tolerance; my friends,

a smile; my children, a good

example, and every gift will be

wrapped with unconditional love.

Maybe God wants us to meet a few 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.

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

The best kind of friend is the kind you can sit on a porch and swing with, never say a word, and then walk away feeling like it was the best conversation you've every had.

It's true that we don't know what we've got until we lose it, but it's also true that we don't know what we've been missing until it arrives.

Giving someone all your love is never an assurance that they'll love you back! Don't expect love in return; just wait for it to grow in their heart but if it doesn't, be content it grew in yours. It takes only a minute to get a crush on someone, an hour to like someone, and a day to love someone, but it takes a lifetime to forget someone.

Don't go for looks; they can deceive. Don't go for wealth; even that fades away. Go for someone who makes you smile because it takes only a smile to make a dark day seem bright. Find the one that makes your heart smile.

There are moments in life when you miss someone so much that you just want to pick them from your dreams and hug them for real!

Dream what you want to dream; go where you want to go; be what you want to be, because you have only one life and one chance to do all the things you want to do.

May you have enough happiness to make you sweet, enough trials to make you strong, enough sorrow to keep you human, enough hope to make you happy.

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

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

Happiness lies for those who cry, those who hurt, those who have searched, and those who have tried, for only they can appreciate the importance of people who have touched their lives.

Love begins with a smile, grows with a kiss and ends with a tear. The brightest future will always be based on a forgotten past, you can't go on well in life until you let go of your past failures and heartaches.

When you were born, you were crying and everyone around you was smiling. Live your life so that when you die, you're the one who is smiling and everyone around you is crying.

HOW DO YOU FEEL

I will present you
parts
of myself
slowly
If you are patient and tender
I will open drawers
That mostly stay closed
and bring out places and people and things
sounds and smells, loves and frustrations, hopes and
sadnesses, bits and pieces of three decades of life
that have been grabbed off
in chunks
and found lying in my hands
they have eaten their way into my memory
carved their way into my
heart
altogether - you or I will never see them
they are me
If you regard them lightly
deny they are important
or worse, judge them
I will quietly, slowly
begin to wrap them up, in small pieces of velvet
like worn silver and gold jewellery
tuck them away
in a small wooden chest of drawers
and close.

The body is corruptible
and its constituent matter impermanent
But the Soul is immortal
and imperishable.

'Flavius Josephus'
