About Me:
Here's a cool site that everyone should see. It came from my son's school. It's quite inspiring. Enjoy my friends.
This is for all those people like me searching for answers but always grappling with the questions… I found this from a book on parenting. :):) but felt it deserved to be passed along because it's not just for children who are struggling to find themselves but it's also for all those adults out there trying to just “be”.
Take time to laugh——- It's the music of the soul
Take time to think———It's the source of power
Take time to play———-It's the source of perpetual youth
Take time to pray———-It's the greatest power on earth
Take time to read———It's the foundation of wisdom
Take time to give——— Life is too short to be selfish
Take time to be loved—-It is a God given privilege
Much health & happiness to all you virtual friends out there. :):)
Someone special sent this to me and I believe with my whole heart and soul that no matter what race or religion if you follow these simple but very basic principles of life then your life will be that much more the richer. I think the Dali Lama is a smart and wise person. You don't have to use big words to make people stop and think. Much health and happiness to all of you out there in this wonderful but wild thing called life. :):)
The Dali Lama's Message For Life
Take into account that great love and great achievements involve great risk. When you lose, don't lose the lesson.
Follow the three R's:
Respect for self
Respect for others and
Responsibility for all your actions
Respect for self
Respect for others and
Responsibility for all your actions
- Remember that not getting what you want is sometimes a wonderful stroke of luck.
- Learn the rules so you know how to break them properly.
- Don't let a little dispute injure a great friendship.
- When you realize you've made a mistake, take immediate steps to correct it.
- Spend some time alone every day.
- Open your arms to change, but don't let go of your values.
- Remember that silence is sometimes the best answer.
- Live a good, honorable life. Then when you get older and think back, you'll be able to enjoy it a second time.
- A loving atmosphere in your home is the foundation for your life.
- In disagreements with loved ones, deal only with the current situation. Don't bring up the past.
- Share your knowledge. It's a way to achieve immortality.
- Be gentle with the earth.
- Once a year, go someplace you've never been before.
- Remember that the best relationship is one in which your love for each other exceeds your need for each other.
- Judge your success by what you had to give up in order to get it.
- Approach love and cooking with reckless abandon.
There are two days in every week about which we should not worry, two days which should be kept free from fear and apprehension.
One of these days is Yesterday with all its mistakes and cares, its faults and blunders, its aches and pains.
Yesterday has passed forever beyond our control. All the money in the world cannot bring back Yesterday.
We cannot undo a single act we performed; we cannot erase a single word we said. Yesterday is gone forever.
The other day we should not worry about is Tomorrow with all its possible adversities, its burdens, its large promise and its poor performance; Tomorrow is also beyond our immediate control.
Tomorrow's sun will rise, either in splendor or behind a mask of clouds, but it will rise. Until it does, we have no stake in Tomorrow, for it is yet to be born.
This leaves only one day, Today. Any person can fight the battle of just one day. It is when you and I add the burdens of those two awful eternities Yesterday and Tomorrow that we break down.
It is not the experience of Today that drives a person mad, it is the remorse or bitterness of something which happened Yesterday and the dread of what Tomorrow may bring. Let us, therefore, Live but one day at a time.
