Carrying The Dirt

By C M Reddy on November 27, 2015 / 4,053 views

"Carrying the dirt in our mind, hinder our personal growth" People who indulge in misbehaviour & wrong deeds may not be so as apparently they are. All good people looking nice in their words & deeds may not be as good they appear as. Now it is very wise to see good in bad people and bad in good people. Nobody in this world is absolutely good and...

Realization Of Strength From My 4 Year Old Boy

By Ariel Janvier on November 25, 2015 / 5,085 views

When people hear about my past and see what I go through, I'm usually told I'm strong. I've always had a hard time believing this. Today that changed and I now believe it. My first born son, newly four years old, was having a tantrum. I was annoyed and wanted to just walk away. But I thought to myself I would try to handle the situation differently this time. I hugged him and asked...

A famous writer was in his study room. He picked up his pen and started writing: **Last year, I had a surgery and my gallbladder was removed. I had to stay stuck to the bed due to this surgery for a long time. **The same year I reached the age of 60 years and had to give up my favourite job. I had spent 30 years of my life in this publishing company. **The same year I...

Angle Of Perception

Once, a professor kept a chair at a certain distance on the stage, in front of the audience. He started his lecture, then pointing to the middle row, those who were sitting exactly in front of the chair, he asked, 'How many legs the chair has that you can see, but answer me exactly what you observe, not assuming that the chair has four legs?' The first person of the middle row replied,...

Precious Memory

I was about to go out the door of the Memory Care Center when Naomi, one of my favorite residents, asked if we could sing a song. Singing is something I did a lot of while I work at the Memory Care Center. I found that singing had a calming effect on the residents. Naomi suggested her usual song, "Amazing Grace". We were singing "Amazing Grace" as we walked into the family room...

I Choose To Sing

By Joseph J. Mazzella on November 23, 2015 / 4,172 views

God loves us all so much and He speaks to us in more ways than we can imagine. Just the other day I was driving my son to the part-time job he has at a sheltered workshop for the disabled. The sky was a dark grey. A cold rain was pouring down. The world seemed silent and sad with both people and animals taking shelter from the storm. I turned on the car radio for a little music to lift my spirits. When I did,...

A Storm Up Ahead

My husband Bill was driving out west. He kept hearing on the radio that there were several tornado's spotted. As he drove he could see what looked like a tornado behind him. He put the pedal to the metal and tried to outrun it. Wouldn't you know he looked at the fuel gauge. He had no choice but to stop for fuel. Of all times, when he didn't want to stop, he had to. As he...

You're Already In Pain. Why Not Make It Worth It?

By Cloe on November 23, 2015 / 1,529 views

I'm always the negative person in our distro. I always commit mistakes and even though I tried my best, still it's not enough. I hate myself for being so stupid and I want to give up and be long gone. One day, when I had a coaching session with my coach to tackle about the things that I'm doing wrongly. My coach was asking me why I'm not focused with my work and all. He expected for...

Truth Triumphs

By C M Reddy on November 23, 2015 / 4,749 views

Truth always triumphs and stands like unflinching tower. Once there was a Jackal in the forest wandering for food, but could not get the stomach full meal. Every animal in the forest had very menial treatment towards the Jackal as it was weak and could not hunt for its food. But the jackal wondered about the tiger's popularity, every animal was afraid of the Big Cat. It hunts effortlessly and...

Ignore What People Say

By Sonia Kaur on November 18, 2015 / 6,562 views

People always talk negativity though it is related to our skills, our relationship, about illness. Very few people talk about positivity. Can people judge you when they don't know what is in your heart. You yourself is a better judge so judge yourself by analysing your thoughts and actions. Don't spend your life in proving yourself. When you accept yourself then you don't need others...

Spread The Word

Sometimes love is not enough, sometimes we have to believe in ourselves for the love to grow, and to expand. His power is immense but it can only exist in our self-love and to the love of the entire humanity. There are no terrorists or victims. There are only human beings in the wrong place at the wrong time, following their own way of life in their own comprehension of the world. It will...

Never Say Never

It was 2009, on a beautiful summer afternoon in Goldersgreen. Giggling with my dear friend in a Chinese restaurant, I felt a tap on my shoulder. I turned around to see who wanted my attention. There he was- my waiter and he said "sorry lady, the gentleman over there just paid your bill". With mouth agape, I looked backwards and there he was, my gentle giant with a heart of gold. I stood up...

Comfort Zone

I've met some really interesting people in my life. Each person has a story and I've learned so much by listening to them. The other day I was talking to a guy at Planet Fitness. Jim* shared with me a few things about his life that were pretty surprising. However, what stood out to me the most was what happened to him after he had a heart attack. Jim shared how after the heart...

Second Chances

By Maya Angelou on November 17, 2015 / 5,370 views

I've learned that no matter what happens, or how bad it seems today, life does go on, and it will be better tomorrow. I've learned that regardless of your relationship with your parents, you'll miss them when they're gone from your life. I've learned that making a living is not the same thing as making a life. I've learned that life sometimes gives you a...

Storing Up Ammunition

By Kay on November 16, 2015 / 3,296 views

I've known people who store up ammunition. I'm not talking about ammunition for guns, but negative ammunition to use on people. Why anyone wants to keep this negative stuff stored in their minds is beyond me, but they do. I've done it myself. Whenever someone does anything that they don't like they get their ammunition out and let them have it. "Well, I remember this, that, or...

The Decision

By Joseph J. Mazzella on November 16, 2015 / 1,722 views

I can still remember the first time I truly felt my heart break. I was 25 years old, sitting in a hospital room with the rest of my family. My beautiful Mom was in the last day of her courageous 4 year fight with Cancer. I looked down on her withered body lying on the bed and saw the sadness in her eyes. She could no longer speak but we all still felt her love for us. Together we waited while her breathing...
