Philosophy

On life’s journey
Faith is nourishment,
Virtuous deeds are a shelter,
Wisdom is the light by day and
Right mindfulness is the protection by night.
If a man lives a pure life nothing can destroy him;
If he has conquered greed nothing can limit his freedom. Buddha

If you want others to be happy, practice compassion.
If you want to be happy, practice compassion

The Dalai Lama

Problems are more manageable than we admit

When life isn’t going well and you feel bad, make a list of good and bad in your life. Then change your mind and thinking about what you are feeling. When there is too much negativity, people allow the bad stuff to take hold and magnify in it their minds. Battle with yourself the good against the bad. Problems are more manageable than we admit. Ask: in the big picture, how important is this really? Then be grateful for what you have that matters and the problems will seem small.

Aim High

“In the long run, you hit what you aim for so aim high”
Henry David Thoreau
 
If your want to make a difference, you have to think big and dream big right from day one.

 If you stop challenging yourself you are going to be bored.

It is the ultimate luxury to combine passion and contribution and a very clear path to happiness.

I have a deep respect for women who choose to raise children full-time.

“What would you do if you weren’t afraid?”

Start out by aiming high.

I hope you navigate the hard times by coming out with greater strength and resolve.

Find true meaning, contentment and passion in your lives.

“Never let your fear overcome your desire. Let the obstacles in your path be external, not internal. Fortune does favor the bold and you’ll never know what you’re capable of if you don’t try.”

Random Wisdom today from a friend

Always cultivate new friends and interact socially

Standing still is the same as going backwards.

Sometimes the efforts you have made just have not hit the right cord yet.

People always want instant results

You are bound by events

Your subconscious can control you.

Take signals seriously, we need to protect ourselves

Auras change from person to person and situation to situation

There is nothing wrong with you.

If I can get a laugh out of you then there is still hope.

Sometimes bad things that happen in life are random acts and you can’t take them personally.

In a losing battle, analyze until you are aware of an option instead of further wrong direction.

Coincidence

Do you believe in coincidence? Pay attention to the coincidences, signs, omens, flashes of intuition and inspiration…they present themselves for a reason.
