The Power of Perception

Closing your eyes to some things,

Opens your eyes to other things,

Things you couldn't see but were always there.

Displaying Gratitude Now

It is sometimes easier to complain than to meditate on the good things we already have. Don't wait to experience adversity and then be grateful. Display gratitude now.

Family is family

Everybody is from somewhere, and even if you don't know your family, you still have a family history. We always end up moving here and there in the journey of life but don't forget your family. Apart from you all carrying the same DNA, there are so many other things that you all can share along the journey of life. And for those who have a family which has no biological ties, then take pride in that too, as there are some people in life who can be just like family. These are the people who have your best interests at heart no matter what you did or did not do. Recognize these people in your life and hold on to them because they are also "family."

Self control and you

 

Have you ever tried controlling an adult? It is useless. Children are the ones who need such control, instruction, or guidance. But when you and others grow older, you just have to let it be. You have to let it be, and to not forget that the easiest way to stay sane, in the midst of whichever chaos is to control yourself. Don't waste your time trying to control external factors. Instead, take the time to know "you" in depth, so you can control your reactions to the ups and downs of life.

Feelings and feelings

Feelings are an important part of the human experience, and I guess learning to really listen to them, is what grants them significance. Do you remember how your first kiss felt? What about when you accomplished something big? When you first met your enemy or friend? Feelings are unpredictable and sometimes not the best guide of action, but keep an eye on how you make others feel based on their reaction to you. Watch it!;)

Silence is sometimes loud

Silence is sometimes golden. When I think of some of the people I admire, they all share one thing in common; they use silence at the right time. Silence when used right or in moderation is a great teacher to the self and others.
Sometimes we just need to take a break from all the noise and distractions and remain silent. Through silence we can spare ourselves a lot of pain or confusion; as remaining silent can give you more time to think before you open your mouth.
I believe some of the greatest ideas are born out of silence applied at the right time!
Great day everyone!!!!

Attitude determines your altitude

There are times in life when you might feel like nothing is working out. You might even feel like giving up, and simply just existing for the sake of it. But a bad attitude won't take you so far. So let us learn to change the inner parts of us beginning with our attitudes....which is a changeable thing before seeking to change the outer circumstances.

Purpose in life....

Have you ever though about what is your life purpose beyond your career? Is there really a day for us to figure out what is our specific reason for being on earth? The crazy thing is that we sometimes flee from our gifts and missions. And crazier than that, is that sometimes there is  no definite way to know for sure  that something is your purpose based on whether it brings you pain or joy or whether it is done with ease or difficulty. But I still think that passion is a good way to figure out our purpose. By figuring out what our passions are, it can be one way to begin a step at a time to find our true purpose in life that transcends our individual happiness, and goes on to make the world a better place.

Great day!

Meditate and plan on

I was thinking about my life today. I have lately been disorganized...the dreaded word "scatterbrain." Do you know that feeling of wanting to do so much and only ending up to do so little? Yes, that happens in life. That is why it is important to meditate before taking action. So as you go about your daily chores and cares today...remember to take time back to meditate on what you have done or want to do.

Thanks for all the views everybody and Great day!
