How do you look at things?

This is sooo true! It hit me right when I read it. ...and, it's so inspirational...am resolving to look for more and more good in whatever comes my way.(I do that already, but, maybe to an extent of 70%...some issues just make me mad, even now) and, a step further- try to avoid thinking or speaking negatively, however provocative the discussion/mood.

If you try it and it works, keep me posted.:)

Try,Try

If you understand this home truth, you're sure to be a success...think over it!!:)

Flying High

The boy was very young. It was his first time flying a kite, so his father helped him and after several attempts the kite was in the air. The boy ran and let out more string, and soon the kite was flying high. The little boy was so excited; the kite was beautiful. Eventually there was no more string left to allow the kite to go higher. The boy said to his father,

"Daddy, let's cut the string and let the kite go; I want to see it go higher and higher."

His father said, "Son, the kite won't go higher if we cut the string."

"Yes, it will," responded the little boy. "The string is holding the kite down; I can feel it." The father handed a pocketknife to his son. The boy cut the string. In a matter of seconds the kite was out of control. It darted here and there and finally landed in a broken heap. That was difficult for the boy to understand. He felt certain the string was holding the kite down.

This is Rex Barker, reminding you that to elevate spiritually, we need to first be grounded in the physical world we live in. Only then can we go higher and higher. Our goal should be to elevate the physical through our actions and intentions, thereby elevating our spiritual level.

What did you think?Did you ever consider the humble kite as such a nice lesson in worldliness?

Hi all

Hi,all...sorry to have been taking a siesta for so long...but, I'm back now....how's the above thought? Will you remember it next time you feel you were unsuccessful at something?:)

Character

Need I say more?:) ah well, yes- this really inspired me...not because I like to judge other's characters,  but, because it made me realize how important it is to first judge my own character...open my eyes to my own shortfalls, realize how to overcome them so that the permanent outlook on life and towards people, remains positive always...the rest will automatically follow for a major part of the time..what do you think?

The Secret Of Happiness

There once was a very wealthy and successful man. He had more money than he could ever spend and he was admired and looked up to by his community. Still, he knew that something was missing in his life. He wasn't happy. All his life he had pursued happiness and strived for happiness but had never been able to find it.


Then one day he heard about a hidden temple in Nepal that had a special room that contained the secret to happiness. He immediately sold all that he owned and set out to find this hidden temple. After many years of searching and countless hardships he arrived there. He was weary and pennyless, but he knew that none of that mattered now that he had found the temple.

He asked a wise, smiling monk if he could enter the special room. The monk agreed and showed him the stairs leading to the room. He climbed them with legs shaking with anticipation and slowly opened the door. He stared into the room with sunlight streaming through the window and saw what he had come so far to find. There hanging on the wall was the secret of happiness. The man gazed at his reflection in the mirror and laughed.

It is time that we all realized that we are the secret to our own happiness. Happiness is a choice that we make within. God loves us and gives each one of us the ability to fill our lives with love, joy, peace, happiness, and oneness with Him. We need only choose to do so moment by moment and day by day.

It doesn't matter what our outer circumstances are either, because the Kingdom of Heaven is within us. Don't spend the rest of your life searching the world for happiness then.

Just look in the mirror and laugh. Just let the happiness flow from your heart, mind, and soul until it fills your life and the lives of all those around you..

A Secret Scrolls message from Rhonda Byrne
Creator of The Secret

From The Secret Daily Teachings

When you close your eyes and you visualize having money and imagine doing all the things you want with that money, you are creating a new reality. Your subconscious mind and the law of attraction do not know whether you are imagining something or whether it is real. And so when you imagine, the law of attraction receives those thoughts and images as though you were actually living them, and it must return those visions to you.

When you are in the place where what you are imagining feels real, you will know that it has penetrated your subconscious mind, and the law of attraction must deliver it.

 

May the joy be with you,
