I was just reading this nice quote:
Nice quote, isn't it?
It brought me a bit closer to the path of our Creator, that path that invariably leads to true peace, joy and happiness :)
We are all pregnant
with that inner desire
to do good things
Then we perform
a simple useful service
and love is born
And with love, joy
and feeling good
and peace of mind
Every time we do
an act of useful service
another bit of love is born
and another bit of joy
and another bit of feeling good
and another bit of peace of mind
If your mom is still alive, give her a lovely call. Dig up a great memory, tell her how much you love her.
Today is mother's day.
Tomorrow is mother's day.
In a year, there are 365 mother's days 😀🥰
Please enjoy, from almost absurd, to quite common, to very common, but all the same...
The first story
As clean and pure
as a raindrop
from a thundering cloud
still suspended in the air
just before falling on my skin
As clean and pure,
I want my life to be
I pray I may have the strength today
to treat every single person I meet
like a VVIP
----------------------------------------------------------------------
My prayer is the biceps of my soul,
pulling up my heart from its deepest depths,
lifting up my thoughts when they seem unbearable,
holding me when I stand near the edge of the cliff,
helping me to find the right words when I seem lost,
gaining strength whenever I use it.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Are we just a grain of sand or are we more?
We may well be a sea with sand on its shore?
(this little poem was inspired by a quote from Khalil Gibran)
Sell your cleverness; buy bewilderment- Rumi-
You know what I did today in my car? Usually I listen to some music or to an uplifting audio-book, but today I decided to do something different:
I imagined that in my car there was an ocean of peace and on every oncoming car or motorcycle I poured a bucket of peace. It was fun. I poured the peace and said out loud: here is a bucket of peace for you. In my imagination the peace flowed all over the front windows into the cars. While standing in front of a traffic light, I pulled a bucket out of the ocean of harmony too and poured it over a few drivers who had already received my buckets of peace. I kept pouring buckets of peace and harmony until I reached my workplace. When I reached, I felt so filled with peace and harmony, more than ever before. It had one of the most pleasant rides to my work and I felt good about it. :)
Sell your cleverness; buy bewilderment- Rumi-
When we think a positive thought
a little light is shining.
When we give a small compliment
a little light is shining.
When we share a bit of love
a little light is shining.
As we become more positive,
more friendly, more loving,
the light will get brighter,
and soon the night will be over.
I just now read a beautiful quote:
So let's stop overthinking and just go and do all the good we can :)
Today, I want to share a story, I heard from Dr Srikumar Rao, an international speaker and famous teacher
Imagine you are a civil engineer. You are called by your boss and he orders you to build a road from point A to point B. Between the two points are a forest, a swamp, and a mountain.
Do you get angry at the forest, the swamp and the mountain?
No you will be creative and find ways to go through them, around them, over them or under them. You take up the challenge, may increase the fees you ask, but you will work until the road is completed because that is what you were trained for.
Now, in our life, the road to point B is the road to a successful, purposeful, joyful life. The irritating, perhaps toxic people and the adverse situations you are subjected to, these are the forests and the mountains. You do not get angry at them, you just figure out how you are going to get your road built. We and we alone are responsible for our own successful, purposeful and joyful existence.
