My Favourite Quotes!

Quotes by Anais Nin:
We don't see things as they are, we see them as we are.


It's absolutely true what she says about how sometimes our perceptions are colored by emotions. Things are not what they seem to be at that situation. We Don't Even Realize It Until Someone Points It Out.   We need to respond intellectually and not to react emotionally. Reaction and Response sound very similar but they are very diverse in their implications. In every situation, responding rather than reacting will save you stress and potential conflict.






Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one's courage.


Lets verify what she says about courage is true or not. okay, What is courage? when i searched for its definition in the dictionary, it says "Courage is the ability to confront fear, danger, pain and uncertainty."  I think courage is more like a mental phenomena and has nothing to do with physical strength. We feel courageous when life put us in difficult situations.  Never giving up even life takes away whatever we cherish as ours. Thats real courage. Thats being fierce with reality. Life will expand when we cherish and honour every moment as eternal. All that we have is this moment, thats always eternal now. We need to be conscious enough to recognise this fact. 




We write to taste life twice, in the moment and in retrospect.

Really this quote encouraged me to write this blog. It made me to write down important events and how i felt at those times in my diary. Tasting life twice, ah, what a feel! I feel overjoyed to contemplate on those beautiful past moments when reading my diary. These wonderful quotes remind me that life is wonderful. I am quite happy to realise it soon.

ATTITUDE OF GRATITUDE

*WHAT HAPPENS IN HEAVEN WHEN WE PRAY?*

I dreamt that I went to Heaven and an angel was showing me around. We walked
side-by-side inside a large workroom filled with angels. My angel guide
stopped in front of the first section and said, ‘ This is the Receiving
Section. Here, all petitions to God said in prayer are received.

I looked around in this area, and it was terribly busy with so many angels
sorting out petitions written on voluminous paper sheets and scraps from
people all over the world.

Then we moved on down a long corridor until we reached the second section.

The angel then said to me, “This is the Packaging and Delivery Section.

Here, the graces and blessings the people asked for are processed and
delivered to the living persons who asked for them.” I noticed again how
busy it was there. There were many angels working hard at that station,
since so many blessings had been requested and were being packaged for
delivery to Earth.

Finally at the farthest end of the long corridor we stopped at the door of a
very small station. To my great surprise, only one angel was seated there,
idly doing nothing. “This is the Acknowledgment Section, my angel friend
quietly admitted to me. He seemed embarrassed.” How is it that
there is no work going on here? ‘ I asked.

“So sad,” the angel sighed. “After people receive the blessings that they
asked for, very few send back acknowledgments”

“How does one acknowledge God’s blessings? ” I asked..

“Simple,” the angel answered. Just say, “Thank you, Lord”

“What blessings should they acknowledge?” I asked.

“If you have food in the refrigerator, clothes on your back, a roof overhead
and a place to sleep you are richer than 75% of this world. If you have
money in the bank, in your wallet, and spare change in a dish, you are among
the top 8% of the world’s wealthy.”

“And if you get this on your own computer, you are part of the 1% in the
world who has that opportunity.”

“If you woke up this morning with more health than illness.. You are more
blessed than the many who will not even survive this day.”

“If you have never experienced the fear in battle, the loneliness of
imprisonment, the agony of torture, or the pangs of starvation . You are
ahead of 700 million people in the world..”

“If you can attend a church/mosque/temple without the fear of harassment, arrest, torture
or death you are envied by, and more blessed than, three billion people in
the world.”

“If your parents are still alive and still married ….you are very rare.”

“If you can hold your head up and smile, you are not the norm, you’re unique
to all those in doubt and despair…….”

Ok, what now? How can I start?

If you can read this message, you just received a double blessing in that
someone was thinking of you as very special and you are more blessed than
over two billion people in the world who cannot read at all.

Have a good day, *count your blessings*, and if you care to, pass this along
to remind everyone else how blessed we all are*

**ATTN: Acknowledge Dept.*
“Thank you Lord, for giving me the ability to share this message and for
giving me so many wonderful people with whom to share it. ”

If you have read this far, and are thankful for all that you have been
blessed with, how can you *not *send it on ???? I thank God for everything,
especially for all my family and friends.

hI Frenz, this is an interesting story which i recently read and i am happy to share this, and i like to tell thank you   for your support and love...

so Far not so Bad!

I feel like i 'm still a college student, but now i am 27. It feels like I 'm getting old so fast. When i visualize where i am going to end up, i feel frightened. I always felt like my life is in perfect control, and i am the one who would decide my destiny. Soon i realized there were so many factors beyond my control which will influence  my destiny. I was very passionate when i came out of school. My belief in life is so astonishing. Even now i could not believe if it is me who had that much confidence. Later i met so many people, encountered different life situations that made me to realize things/events will not always turn out the way I thought. I have got so many friends in the past. When I got the job in school, i decided to cut all contacts with them, only to discipline myself. My plan worked out successfully, i lost all my friends! They also stopped trying to contact me when they understood i am avoiding. Soon i realized i am alone. Loneliness, which i always felt even in midst of hundred people still haunts me. 

Soon I got some plans to make myself enjoy life fully. I joined a gym. Actually i visited only three days a week. Even  got some friends there. Its good relief from boredom and loneliness. To be frank, I am always a perfect lazy butt. But now my workouts boosted my energy level and gave me new confidence.

I got some part time job and it will occupy my evenings. Also fill my wallet. Now i want to balance my life between these jobs and all other activities. I want to give my best to both... I wish  i had more time. I also wanted to focus on my higher studies which i rarely did. But now I got some study plans. Hope this time i will do well in exams.
