What I meant to say

Most of all the other beautiful things in life come by twos and threes by dozens and hundreds. Plenty of roses, stars, sunsets, rainbows, brothers, and sisters, aunts and cousins, but only one mother in the whole world.”

– Kate Douglas Wiggin –

Read this beautiful passage by Michael Murphy that was shared by Dr. Wayne Dyer in Facebook earlier and I wanted to share it with all of you and especially with all the Mothers in the world who have been ‘First’ in so many areas in our lives. And just as Kate Douglas Wiggin put it, “Most of all the other beautiful things in life come by twos and threes by dozens and hundreds … but only one mother in the whole world.” Read more

LIFE IS FRAGILE, APPRECIATE IT

Life is fragile, appreciate it

“People die all the time. Life is a lot more fragile than we think. So you should treat others in a way that leaves no regrets. Fairly, and if possible, sincerely. It’s too easy not to make the effort, then weep and wring your hands after the person dies.”

Haruki Murakami

Life is indeed a lot more fragile than we think. Don’t you think so too? Read a heartbreaking piece of news this morning, ‘Girl, 16, dies after being flung out of van.’ According to the paper, “The first-year ITE College East student fell out of a van when its side door slid open as it made a turn at a carpark.” This set me in a pensive mood during my morning walk. Too often we have taken life for granted. Tragedy like this can occur at any time. It makes me realise, and I hope it makes you realise too, how fragile life really is. Read more

When you feel that there is nothing you can do, do something; create.

Are you feeling defeated at this point in your life? Do you have 5 minutes to spare me? Click to watch the inspiring video based on the true story of a group of children in Koh Panyee, a little island in the south of Thailand. It is a floating village in the middle of the sea that has not an inch of soil. The children there loved to watch football but they had no place to play or practice. Guess what they did? Read more

“You dun always have next time, sometimes it’s now, or never.” That was the last sentence typed by a dear friend before she signed off and went to bed.

“Today bought something very interesting.” That was the start of my little discussion with my friend last night; she bought two necklaces yesterday and she was showing me the picture of them and telling me excitedly that the gold inside the glass necklace moves or rather floats. Her excitement got me interested and I was asking how much she paid for it as I was thinking of getting one for myself as a gift for someone. Read more

In his talk ‘Only You can make the Difference,’ he quoted Sigmund Freud (hope I got it right from the video), ” … all of us think that we are immortal and we’re going to live forever and we’re constantly putting things off for tomorrow.” Don’t we always feel that – there’s always tomorrow – especially so when we are procrastinating and putting things off? “I’ll just do it tomorrow,” we told ourselves.

TAKE THE STONES PEOPLE THROW AT YOU TO BUILD A MONUMENT

Take the stones people throw at you to build a monument

Take the stones people throw at you and use them to build a monument.

– Robin Sharma –
________________________________

Great advise from Robin Sharma; the stones that others hurl you can be used to hurt you and can bury you alive if you allow them to. However, we have a choice to take the stones which are thrown at us to build a monument. We cannot stop others from throwing stones at us but we sure can choose what to do with the stones. This reminds me of a story which I received many years ago about the farmer’s donkey. Read more
