The world is round, and the place which may seem like the end may also be the beginning.!

The time is always right to do what is right.!

There is no doubt that we have all been through difficult times along our journeys in life. No one person is exempt from feeling pain, grief, struggle, or disappointment. We've all been there and we have all survived. So why the struggles? Why the heartaches? Sadness? Despair? Life lessons. We are all on a very specific path, perfectly laid out for each and every one of us. What one person may consider minor, another may consider major, and what one person may have an easier time overcoming, another may have more difficulties. But each and every day, each experience, whether it be big or small, is to teach us a life lesson, to make us stronger, and more compassionate.!

Things don't come to you, they come through you.!

Our attitude is the primary force that will determine whether we succeed or fail.!

The greatest oak was once a little nut who held its ground.!

It is not always possible to go from where you are to where you ultimately want to be instantaneously. I mean it is possible (anything's possible), but the choosing of it feels almost uncomfortable in contrast to what we're currently experiencing.

As weird as it sounds, there is comfort or maybe familiarity is a better word, in misery. If there wasn't, we wouldn't choose it.

We can however, in every moment choose the next best feeling spot that feels achievable. This is how we initiate the evolutionary process. If you just keep taking baby steps towards better and better feeling thoughts and actions, one day you will look back and not even recognize the person you used to be.

You deserve joy and happiness. It is your birthright, simply for showing up on this planet. There is nothing you need to do to earn it or prove your worthiness.!

Weak people revenge, strong people forgive and intelligent people ignore.!

Look at the good side of every person and see the bright side of everything and situation. It will make your life easier, lighter and happier.!

If life on earth is temporary......what makes you think that your problems are permanent?

Persistent people begin their success, where others end in failures.!

Cry as much as you want to, but just make sure when you're finished, you never cry for the same reason again.!

A friend who understands your tears is much more valuable than a lot of friends who only know your smile.!

If the path is beautiful, ask where it leads to. But if the destination is beautiful, never mind about the path.....keep walking.!

Patience is not the ability to wait, but the ability to keep good attitude while waiting.!

The fragrance of flowers spreads only in the direction of the wind. But the goodness of a person spreads in all directions.!

A smile isn't always a sign of happiness. We sometimes wear a smile to help us get through hard times, just like carrying an umbrella to protect ourselves from heavy rain.!

Life is like an ocean of sand. It will always slip through your fingers and always slip away from you. There will, however, be a small part that stays in the palm of your hand. Be thankful for that.!

Time is like a handful of sand - the tighter you grasp it, the faster it runs through your fingers.!

In life, if you deposit all your trust in one person, you'll eventually end up in front of two consequence:

"A lifetime friend, or a lifetime lesson"

I know I'm not perfect and I don't live to be, but before you start pointing fingers make sure your hands are clean.!

We should never judge the intentions of the poor!

98 year old Dobri Dobrev, a man who lost his hearing in the second world war, walks 10 kilometers from his village in his homemade clothes and leather shoes to the city of sofia, where he spends the day begging for money.

Though a well known fixture around several of the city’s churches, known for his prostrations of thanks to all donors, it was only recently discovered that he has donated every penny he has collected - over 40,000 euros - towards the restoration of decaying bulgarian monasteries and churches and the utility bills of orphanages, living instead off his monthly state pension of 80 euros.!

Let us be grateful to people who make us happy; they are the charming gardeners who make our souls blossom.!

Nobody trips over mountains. It is the small pebble that causes you to stumble. Pass all the pebbles in your path and you will find you have crossed the mountain.!

Life is like a highway, no matter what they say, the construction is never finished. There's always gonna be bumps in the road and detours every now and then.!

Seeds of discouragement cannot make root in a grateful heart, take time today to find at least one thing to be grateful for.!

Money and success don't change people, they merely amplify what's already there.!

If we will be quiet and ready enough, we shall find compensation in every disappointment.!

Thoughtfulness for others, generosity, modesty, and self-respect, are the qualities which make a real gentleman, or lady, as distinguished from the veneered article which commonly goes by that name.!

Tenderness and kindness are not signs of weakness and despair, but manifestations of strength and resolution.!

The day the child realizes that all adults are imperfect he becomes an adolescent; the day he forgives them, he becomes an adult; the day he forgives himself he becomes wise.!

Practice what you preach or don’t preach at all. Walk the talk.! People watch what you do more than they listen to what you say. Inspire, challenge and encourage people to their best, by doing your best. Optimism is a happiness magnet.!

Never give up, for that is just the place and time that the tide will turn.!

The universe listens to every word, thought and emotion we have. The universe can grant our wishes and help us in everyday life. So, to begin on the spiritual path, all you have to say, straight from the heart, is 'I'm ready!'. The universe will then start about showing you signs (coincidences some people call them) to indicate to you that the universe heard you and is answering the call. The signs will be very subtle, yet obvious, if you are attentive. Number sequences are a very common way that the universe communicates with us as in today's society we are always surrounded by some device that displays numbers. Otherwise, the universe will show you signs that you would understand, in effect it will communicate with you in a language that you understand. You will see, hear, smell or feel certain things when you ask a question in your mind or even out loud. Look out for these signs as this will be the universe giving you your answer.

Be open-minded and attentive and look out for patterns of certain things that are emerging in your life. These will be the universe's attempts to find a dialogue with which you can communicate with it. Once you have established your relationship with the universe; and have recognized the patterns the way the universe is communicating with you then the journey begins.!

The universe will now start to unfold a whole new world to you. Just remain open and watch for the signs. And through these signs you will learn lessons you need to learn, do the things you need to do, and journey to the place in your life you should be.!

Our minds are filled up with clutter and junk making it impossible to simply enjoy an awareness of the “now”. The question is what are we able to “give up” or “let go” of in order to begin cleansing our mind of all unnecessary blocks preventing a clear perception of life.!

Before befriending others, you have to be your own friend. Before correcting others, you have to correct yourself. Before making others happy, you have to make yourself happy. It’s not called selfishness, it’s called personal development. Once you balance yourself, only then can you balance the world around you.!

What the eye has seen, with the awareness of love......the heart can never forget !

The work of the eyes is done. Go now and do the heart-work on the images imprisoned within you.!

A bird sitting on the tree is never afraid of the branch but on its own wings. Always believe in yourself.!

It's not what happens to you, but how you react to it that matters.!

Don't mix bad words with your bad mood. You'll have many opportunities to change your mood, but never get the opportunity to replace the words you spoke.!

He who controls others may be powerful, but he who has mastered himself is mightier still.!

Life is an echo; all comes back, the good, the bad, the false and true. So, give the world the best you have and the best will come back to you.!

Life is not about how fast you run or how high you climb but how well you bounce.!

There is no need to have it all, just make the best of what you have.!

Clouds come floating into my life, no longer to carry rain or usher storm, but to add color to my sunset sky.!

When you get, give. When you learn, teach.!

Next time you're stressed, take a step back, inhale, and laugh. Remember who you are and why you're here. You're never given anything in this world that you cannot handle. Be strong, be flexible, love yourself and love others. Always remember to just keep moving forward.!

The best feeling comes when you realize you're perfectly happy without the people you thought you needed the most.!

As we acquire more knowledge things do not become more comprehensible but more mysterious.!

Failures are finger posts on the road to achievement.!

Don't go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.!

Each moment of gratitude awareness reveals the total beauty which surrounds you.!

Feeling gratitude and not expressing it is like wrapping a present and not giving it.!

A true intelligent person know's how to pretend to be a fool in front of a fool who pretend to be intelligent.!

Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through experience of trials and suffering can the soul be strengthened, ambition inspired and success achieved.!

Character is like a tree and reputation like a shadow. The shadow is what we think of it; the tree is the real thing.!

Don't speak - unless it improves on silence.!

Wealth is double blessing when it's used for the blessing of others.!

Best thing about the worst time of your life is that you get to see the true colors of everyone you cared for.!

Appreciate beauty, and you will be beautiful.!

If people cannot see you shinning, it is because their minds are cloudy.!

Believe in yourself.!

You are a part of creation. You see that majestic mountain with all its glory, the total size alone shows that that it is simply awesome. That rainbow you admired with all those wonderful colours. The seas, raging, wonderful, powerful, it brings up dreams and desires for adventure, romance, and so much more. The stars, the galaxies, the planets, all with their individuality, each of its own amazing character and differences.

Those things are us, you and me. We have different characters. You are an amazing complex biological machine designed to carry your soul throughout your lifetime. The things that your body can do, and simply the way that it can impossibly operate shows that wow, you are something amazing, a wonder to behold.

Your mind is very complex, it has limitless memory storage and limitless thoughts, limitless dreams and desires. Your imagination never runs out of ideas, and if fed positively it can come up the most amazing inventions and ways to do things. If your mind is fed positively then it will function in contented happy mode and the fruits of that are wonderful and wholesome.

It is not that Einstein was amazing, nor was it that the famous scientists, or teachers, or presidents were amazing, because they are you and you are they, because you are made like they were in God's image and you can do everything that they did.

No one before you is better than you at anything and no person with you now is better than you either. So what if you have issues that they point at, underneath peoples false bravado is also their fears, worries and issues. It is those who point and label us that have fears and lack courage so they need to focus on others to defer the attention to what it is that they have done wrong in the past.

Strong people don't point out faults, they find ways to mend people and help them with gentle kindness. Strong people have nothing to fear, no need to be secretive or hide or blame others for their own mistakes and faults.

It is simply that those people that succeeded did what they did because it became a dream, a desire, a want to do something new, something different, to go against the flow, to swim upstream where the adventure lies.

You are no different than any of them. But you must choose, you must desire, you must dream, you must step forth and take that precious walk that will amaze you and amaze those who know you.

You must not let other peoples defeated attitudes stop you from believing what your mind dreams of.!

Just because it won't work out for them does not mean that it won't work out for you. One of the destroyers of a good life is us listening to people who simply don't have a clue. Know that you are a wonder of Creation. Know that God created you with amazing talents and a personal character that makes you stand out from others around you.

Believe in yourself.!

Look around you at the amazing features of Creation and remember always that you are a part of that. You are a wonderful person put here by God to make a difference. You are a forgiven, worthy individual to God and with a good attitude change you can be so many wonderful things to the world.

Keep your life positive, healthy, decent and adventurous, caring and loving and the world will open up to you and fill your heart so much. Be responsible and look after your children and if you make a mess of things clean it up and get right with those who were hurt. Open your heart to forgive always.

Keep you positive. Be comforted with the thought that God is with you and that God will make a way to keep you safe and lead you to the destiny He has for you.!

Positive thinking sees the invisible, feels the intangible and can achieve the impossible.!

A great way to appreciate your life is to hear someone else's story.!

Each experience leaves us wiser. Each obstacles makes us stronger. Each decision reminds us of what we really want and who we really are. In the end, we don’t just move up, we grow up, and only then we do discover that being on top doesn't matter as much as being ourselves.!

Whether we choose to see it or not, our life is too short to worry about small things. Though some circumstances in our lives at the moment may seem fairly significant, we must realize that the things that are really important are the things that are going to matter in ten to twenty years, or twenty to fifty years. Life is too short to sweat the small stuff. We have to choose to live our lives in the present and for the future, instead of trying to live in the past. We must also live our lives doing the things and for the people that we are passionate about. Living a life without passion, and without hope for the future is not really living your life at all. Remember that the next minute, hour, and day are not promised to you, and may be taken from you at any time. Never let anything or any person stop you from pursuing the things that you are truly passionate about pursuing.!

We need people around us who will contribute to our happiness and who will encourage us to try harder. Negative people defeat our attitudes and drain us of strength until we cannot function as we should or as we once use to. Departing from the company of those who are lost, confused and simply focused on themselves is a wise choice.!

Trials are like fire, it can destroy you or strengthen you. Depending on your character and outlook in life. Remember, the fire that melts butter is the same fire that hardens steel.!

Isn't it funny; how day by day nothing changes......but when you look back everything is different.!

A good friend is a connection to life, a tie to the past, a road to the future, the key to sanity in a totally insane world.!

There is little difference in people, but that little difference makes a big difference. The little difference is attitude. The big difference is whether it is positive or negative.!

The simplest things in life are the most extraordinary. Let them reveal themselves.!

Nobody has a perfect life. Everybody has their own problems. Some people just know how to deal with it in a perfect way.!

You can't calm the storm, so stop trying. What you can do is calm yourself. The storm will pass.!

You're never given anything in this world that you can't handle. Be strong and just keep moving forward.!

In a gentle way, you can shake the world.!

Sometimes beautiful things come into our lives out of nowhere.  We can’t always understand them, but we have to trust in them.  I know you want to question everything, but sometimes it pays to just have a little faith.!

The world offers a lot, but even having them all won’t ensure our contentment. What we value, defines our happiness. What we keep, spells our purpose. What we do, becomes our commitment, but in the end, our real treasures are what our hearts can hold.!

The bird asked the bumblebee:
"You work so hard to make the honey and humans just take it away, doesn't it make you feel bad?"

"No," said the bee, "Because they will never take from me the art of making it.!"

Man is most nearly himself when he achieves the seriousness of a child at play.!

The longer we dwell on our our misfortunes, the greater is their power to harm us.!

With ordinary talent and extraordinary perseverance, all things are attainable.!

Being happy and grateful for what is releases the need to change anything in our lives. If we learn to simply go with the flow and trust that everything is as it should be, we will instantly release any anxiety for everything that is out of our control.!

Hang on, your last thread of hope is always the strongest.!

Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around.!

The two most powerful warriors are patience and time.....
So remember: Great achievements take time, there is no overnight success.!

Thinking will not overcome fear, but action will.!

True strength is keeping everything together when everyone expects you to fall apart.!

We cannot hold a torch to light another's path without brightening our own.!

We can't help everyone, but everyone can help someone.!

The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.!

The world makes way for the man who knows where he is going.!

Success comes in cans not can'ts.!

Face the failures until the failure fails to face you.!

Little steps of improvement can make big positive changes to our lives.!

If you are patient in one moment of anger, you will escape a hundred days of sorrow.!

Create a life that feels good on the inside, not one that just looks good on the outside.!

If you are right then there is no need to get angry and if you are wrong then you don't have the right to get angry.!

Two things define you. Your patience when you have nothing and your attitude when you have everything.!

Don’t allow your struggle to let you lose hope. Just because things are difficult right now doesn’t mean they will be like this forever. You can and will heal, and whether or not you see it, you’re healing right now. The small steps you take each day may not seem like much, but each day adds up, and before you know it, you’ll have covered more distance than you believed possible. Look back to where you were a year ago. You may not be fully healed, but you certainly aren’t where you once were. You’ve struggled and back tracked and wanted to give up, but you’ve continued to push forward. You’ve made it so far, and despite everything life has thrown at you, you’ve survived. So instead of beating yourself up for not being where you would like to be, take some time today to celebrate where you are. Give yourself credit for growth you’ve achieved, acknowledge the strength it’s taken to get to this place, and have faith that if you keep picking yourself back up, no matter how many times you fall, you will make it.!

And once the storm is over, you won’t remember how you made it through, how you managed to survive. You won’t even be sure, whether the storm is really over. But one thing is certain. When you come out of the storm, you won’t be the same person who walked in. That’s what this storm’s all about.!

There will always be a reason why you meet people. Either you need them to change your life or you're the one that will change theirs.!

Do not pray for an easy life, pray for the strength to endure a difficult one.!

The glory of friendship is not the outstretched hand, nor the kindly smile, nor the joy of companionship. It is the spiritual inspiration that comes to one when he discovers that someone else believes in him and is willing to trust him with his friendship.!

Always welcome your problems, because problems gives you dual advice;

Firstly, you can know how to solve them,
Secondly, you learn how to avoid them in future.!

Have faith in Allah Almighty and yourself…!

Time is the most deceptive thing. It ticks faster when you are happy, Prolongs when you are in agony and Disappoints when you are waiting in vain. It speeds up when you are hurrying, but slows down in your solitude. It can’t be broken. It can’t be stopped. Once it has passed, you can never go back and change what has already been said and done. The worst thing is when you hear the words, “Time is up,” you can do nothing, but just accept everything.....!

A lot of trouble would disappear. If only people would learn to talk to one another instead of talking about one another.!

Being happy doesn’t mean that everything is perfect. It means that you’ve decided to look beyond the imperfections.!

Everything in life can teach you a lesson. You just have to be willing to learn.!

Don’t worry about failures, worry about the chances you miss when you don’t even try.!

Remain calm in every situation because peace equals power.!

It's not the heavy load that breaks you, it's the way you carry it.!

Don't try too much to search for the good person in this world. Instead try to make yourself the best so that your act may end someone else's search.....!

Do not be afraid to take the first step, just because you cannot see the full path ahead. Trust that by taking one step at a time, the path will slowly reveal itself to you.!

Every day is a new chance to choose. Choose to change your perspective. Choose to flip the switch in your mind from negative to positive. Choose to turn on the light and stop fretting about doubt. Choose to do work that you are proud of. Choose to see the best in others, and to show your best to others. Choose to truly live, right now. Flip the switch.!

Life is like a piano. What you get out of it depends on how you play it.!

The purpose of life is to live it, to taste experience to the utmost, to reach out eagerly and without fear for newer and richer experience.!

Whatever kind of problem you encounter in your life remember that there are positive side to that. So don't keep your head down. Look up and smile.!

Millions of flowers open without forcing the buds. It reminds us not to force anything for things happen in the right time.!

Challenges are what make life interesting and overcoming them is what makes life meaningful.!

Smile every chance you get. Not because life has been easy, perfect, or exactly as you had anticipated, but because you choose to be happy and grateful for all the good things you do have and all the problems you know you don't have.!

The most rewarding things you do in life are often the ones that look like they cannot be done.!

No matter how many times you've been done wrong, Continue to be faithful, honest and loving. Sooner or later someone will appreciate it!

Everything is either an opportunity to grow or an obstacle to keep you from growing. You get to choose.!

Either write something worth reading or do something worth writing.!

If you want to live a happy. life, tie it to a goal. Not to people or things.!

Every human is an artist. The dream of your life is to make beautiful art.!

Being realistic is the most common path to mediocrity.!

A person is limited only by the thoughts that he chooses.!

Be more concerned with your character than your reputation.!

A Mother was reading a magazine and her cute little daughter every now and then distracted her.

To keep her busy, she tore one page on which was printed the map of the world. She tore it into pieces and asked her to go to her room and put them together to make the map again.

She was sure her daughter would take a lot more time and probably whole of day to get it done. But the little one came back within minutes with perfect map.

When she asked how she could do it so quickly, she said, "Oh Mom, there is a man's face on the other side of the paper. I made the face perfect to get the map right." she ran outside to play leaving the mother surprised.

Moral : Perhaps there is always the other side to whatever you experience in this world.!

Whenever we come across a challenge or a puzzling situation, Look at the other side and will be surprised to see an easy way to tackle the problem or an acute difficulty.!

A nice taxi driver wrote:

I arrived at the address and honked the horn. After waiting a few minutes I honked again. Since this was going to be my last ride of my shift I thought about just driving away, but instead I put the car in park and walked up to the door and knocked......'Just a minute’, answered a frail, elderly voice. I could hear something being dragged across the floor.

After a long pause, the door opened. A small woman in her 90’s stood before me. She was wearing a print dress and a pillbox hat with a veil pinned on it, like somebody out of a 1940’s movie.

By her side was a small nylon suitcase. The apartment looked as if no one had lived in it for years. All the furniture was covered with sheets.

There were no clocks on the walls, no knickknacks or utensils on the counters. In the corner was a cardboard
box filled with photos and glassware.

‘Would you carry my bag out to the car?’ she said. I took the suitcase to the cab, then returned to assist the woman.

She took my arm and we walked slowly toward the curb.

She kept thanking me for my kindness. ‘It’s nothing’, I told her......‘I just try to treat my passengers the way I would want my mother to be treated.’

‘Oh, you’re such a good boy, she said. When we got in the cab, she gave me an address and then asked, ‘Could you drive
through downtown?’

‘It’s not the shortest way,’ I answered quickly......

‘Oh, I don’t mind,’ she said. ‘I’m in no hurry. I’m on my way to a hospice.

I looked in the rear-view mirror. Her eyes were glistening. ‘I don’t have any family left,’ she continued in a soft voice......’The doctor says I don’t have very long.’ I quietly reached over and shut off the meter.

‘What route would you like me to take?’ I asked.

For the next two hours, we drove through the city. She showed me the building where she had once worked as an elevator operator.

We drove through the neighborhood where she and her husband had lived when they were newlyweds. She had me pull up in front of a furniture warehouse that had once been a ballroom where she had gone dancing as a girl.

Sometimes she’d ask me to slow in front of a particular building or corner and would sit staring into the darkness, saying nothing.

As the first hint of sun was creasing the horizon, she suddenly said, ‘I’m tired.Let’s go now’.
We drove in silence to the address she had given me. It was a low building, like a small convalescent home, with a driveway that passed under a portico.

Two orderlies came out to the cab as soon as we pulled up. They were solicitous and intent, watching her every move.
They must have been expecting her.

I opened the trunk and took the small suitcase to the door. The woman was already seated in a wheelchair.

‘How much do I owe you?’ She asked, reaching into her purse.

‘Nothing,’ I said

‘You have to make a living,’ she answered.

‘There are other passengers,’ I responded.

Almost without thinking, I bent and gave her a hug.She held onto me tightly.

‘You gave an old woman a little moment of joy,’ she said. ‘Thank you.’

I squeezed her hand, and then walked into the dim morning light......Behind me, a door shut. It was the sound of the closing of a life......

I didn’t pick up any more passengers that shift. I drove aimlessly lost in thought. For the rest of that day, I could hardly talk. What if that woman had gotten an angry driver,or one who was impatient to end his shift? What if I had refused to take the run, or had honked once, then driven away?

On a quick review, I don’t think that I have done anything more important in my life.

We’re conditioned to think that our lives revolve around great moments.

But great moments often catch us unaware - beautifully wrapped in what others may consider a small one.!

The edge.....there is no honest way to explain it because the only people who really know where it is are the ones who gone over.!

Over every mountain there is a path, although it may not be seen from the valley.!

Every accomplishment large and small begins with the same decision: I'll try.!

Confidence comes from being prepared.!

Keep your fears to yourself, but share your courage with others.!

Be a voice, not an echo.!

The world is a book and those who don't travel read only a page.!

Man cannot discover new ocean unless he has the courage to lose sight of the shore.!

Some cause happiness wherever they go, others whenever they go.!

Explain your anger, don't express it, and you will immediately open the door to solutions instead of arguments.!

From good things, we learn to be a thankful person. From bad things, we learn to be a strong person. Remember that everything will not go the way you want it to. It's a matter of learning that life isn't handed to you. Stop worrying about what others want. Think about what you want, if you listen too much to what people say about you, you will never be who you really are.!
