Great Tips 4 Improving Life

Wed, 02 May 2012 14:11:53 GMT

Dr. Randy Pausch died of pancreatic cancer in 2008, but wrote a book 'The last lecture" before then, one of the bestsellers in 2007. What a legacy to leave behind…
In a letter to his wife Jai and his children, Dylan, Logan , and Chloe, he wrote this beautiful "guide to a better life" for his wife and children to follow. May you be blessed by his insight.

Personality:
1. Don't compare your life to others'. You have no idea what their journey is all about.
2. Don't have negative thoughts of things you cannot control. Instead invest your energy in the positive present moment
3. Don't over-do; keep your limits
4. Don't take yourself so seriously; no one else does
5. Don't waste your precious energy on gossip
6. Dream more while you are awake
7. Envy is a waste of time. You already have all you need..
8. Forget issues of the past. Don't remind your partner of his/her mistakes of the past. That will ruin your present happiness.
9. Life is too short to waste time hating anyone. Don't hate others.
10. Make peace with your past so it won't spoil the present
11. No one is in charge of your happiness except you
12. Realize that life is a school and you are here to learn. Problems are simply part of the curriculum that appear and fade away like algebra class but the lessons you learn will last a lifetime.
13. Smile and laugh more
14. You don't have to win every argument. Agree to disagree.

Community:
15. Call your family often
16. Each day give something good to others
17. Forgive everyone for everything
18. Spend time with people over the age of 70 & under the age of 6
19. Try to make at least three people smile each day
20. What other people think of you is none of your business
21. Your job will not take care of you when you are sick. Your family and friends will. Stay in touch.

Life:
22. Put GOD first in anything and everything that you think, say and do.
23. GOD heals everything
24. Do the right things
25. Whatever good or bad a situation is, it will change
26. No matter how you feel, get up, dress up and show up
27. The best is yet to come
28. Get rid of anything that isn't useful, beautiful or joyful
29. When you awake alive in the morning, thank GOD for it
30. If you know GOD you will always be happy. So, be happy.

While you practice all of the above, share this knowledge with the people you love, people you school with,
people you play with, people you work with and people you live with.
Not only will it enrich YOUR life, but also that of those around you

Climb Untill Your Dream Comes True - Faith

Mon, 30 Jan 2012 13:35:25 GMT

CLIMB UNTIL YOUR DREAM BECOME TRUE

Often your tasks will be many,

and more than you think you can do

Often the road will be rugged

and the hills insurmountable, too

Always remember, the hills ahead

Are never as steep as they seem,

And with faith in your heart start upward

And climb 'till you reach your dream,

Nothing in life that is worthy

Is ever too hard to achieve

If you have the courage to try it

And you have the faith to believe...

Faith is a force that is greater

Than knowledge or power or skill

And many defeats turn to triumph

If you trust in God's wisdom and will

Faith is a mover of mountains,

There's nothing that God cannot do,

So start out today with faith in your heart

And Climb Until Your Dream Comes True.

The World is Your Mirror

TheWorld is Your Mirror

The good you find in others, is in you too.

The faults you find in others are your faults as well.

After all, to recognize something you must know it.

The possibilities you see in others, are possible for you aswell.

The #beauty you see around you is your beauty.

The #world around you is a reflection, a mirror showing you theperson you are.

To change your world, you must change yourself.

See the best in others, and you will be your best.

Give to others, and you will give to yourself.

Appreciate beauty, and you will be beautiful.

Admire creativity, and you will be creative.

#Love and you will be loved.

Seek to understand, and you will be understood.

Listen and your voice will be heard.

Teach, and you will learn.

A BAD ATTITUDE

Sat, 28 Jan 2012 13:41:03 GMT

A BAD ATTITUDE

We are all at different paths In our #lives, but no matter where we go, We take a little of each other everywhere!

Opportunity may knock once, But temptation bangs on yourfront door forever.

A bad #attitude islike a flat tire. You ain't going nowhere till you change it.

The best thing aboutthe #future Is that it comes only one day at a time.

Out of difficultiesgrow #miracles.

Courage doesn't always roar. Sometimes #courage is the quiet voice At the end of the day saying, I will try again tomorrow.

Only those who risk going too far can possibly find out Howfar one can go.

Though no one can goback and Make a brand new start,

Anybody can start from NOW And make a brand new ending.

We may not have it all together, But together we have itall.

REMIND YOURSELF

Thu, 19 Jan 2012 12:52:34 GMT

Remind Yourself

If you know a little of yourself, you will have realized that you are more than what meets your eyes in the mirror in the morning.

What you see is not what you are. You see the form not the content, the #body not the #soul, the matter not the mind.

In quiet and profound moments, we innately know that is true.

But we forget.

The #world tells us and wants us to believe that we are what we see - and we take the easy wayout.

We believe.

That's why the awakeningof #spirit and the flowering of our spirituality (nothing to do with #religion) means we have to keep reminding ourselves, a hundred times a day,

I am a soul - not a body, I am an eternal spirit - not a perishable piece of meat.

I am quality, not quantity. I am. Otherwise, freedom is not possible.

And if we are not free, in the deepest space inside our own being, we cannot be truly #happy.
