Thoughts to ponder

Visualizing your Goal!

* Slip into the gap between thoughts. The gap is the windows, the corridor, and the transformational vortex through which the personal psyche communicates with the cosmic psyche.

* Have a clear intention of a clear goal in the gap.

* Relinquish your attachment to the outcome, because chasing the outcome or getting attached to it entails coming out of the gap.

* Let the universe handle the details.

All about Teddy Roosevelt

It is not the critic, who counts, nor the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better.

The credit belongs to the man who actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust, sweat and blood; who knows great enthusiasm, great devotion and the triumph of achievement and who, at worst, if he fails, at least fails while doing greatly... so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.

Smile

Maybe God wants me to meet a few wrong people before meeting the right one so that when we finally meet the right person, we will know how to be grateful for the gift.

When the door of happiness closes, another opens, but often times we look so long at the closed door that we don't see the one, which has been opened for us.

The best kind of friend is the kind you can sit on a porch swing with, never say a word, then walk away feeling like it was the best conversation you've ever had.

It's true that we don't know what we've got until we lose it, but it's also true that we don't know what we've been missing until it arrives.

Giving someone all your love is never an assurance that they'll love you back! Don't expect love in return; just wait for it to grow in their heart but if it doesn't, be content it grew in yours.

It takes only a minute to get a crush on someone, an hour to like someone, and a day to love someone, but it takes a lifetime to forget someone.

Don't go for looks; they can deceive Don't go for wealth; even that fades away Go for someone who makes you smile because it takes only a smile to make a dark day seem bright find the one that makes your heart smile.

There are moments in life when you miss someone so much that you just want to pick them from your dreams and hug them for real.

Dream what you want to dream; go where you want to go; be what you want to be, because you have only one life and one chance to do all the things you want to do.

May you have enough happiness to make you sweet, enough trials to make you strong, enough sorrow to keep you human, enough hope to make you happy.

Always put yourself in the other's shoes if you feel that it hurts you, it will probably hurt the other person too.

The happiest people don't necessarily have the best of everything; they just make the most of everything that comes along the way.

Happiness lies for those who cry, those who hurt, those who have searched, and those who have tried, for only they can appreciate the importance of people who have touched their lives.

The brightest future will always be based on a forgotten past, you can't get on well in life until you let go of your past failures and heartaches.

When you were born, you were crying and everyone around you was smiling. Live your life so that when you die, you're the one who is smiling and everyone around you is crying. --- Unknown
