Quality Transformation The easiest way to understand quality change is to consider the example of roses. These beautiful flowers, although nourished by smelly manure, do not take any of its odour or colour. They are truly like kings of gardens, in their pink, gold, red and white robes, filling the air with such a fragrance that people who come to the garden do not even notice the manure. The roots of the roses are able to transform the manure to such an extent that the best is taken without any negative side effects. This is an example of quality change. The human world is like a garden. We are like a variety of flowers surrounded by lots of manure, that is, negativity in all its forms, such as ego, fear, anger, bad attachment, thoughtless mistrust, etc. People who are 'quality transformers' can accept all these negative things and use them for their personal growth without the negativity penetrating them; they do not get spoilt, or even touched by it. Quality transformers become the spiritual roses in the Garden of Humanity: they display all their beauty and provide inspiration for all those who see them. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Plain Sailing The wind may blow from any direction, but the direction in which you go depends on how you set your sails. |

"Your life is your message to the world. Make it inspiring." Lorrin L. Lee If a person's life is one of struggle, he is telling the world to live a life of struggle. If of joy, he is telling the world to live a life of joy. Love True love is based on understanding, mutual trust and respect and not simply on transient emotions. Love is being in balance, that is, in harmony with the self and each other. We must allow this love to flow out and around us. Without love, all of life's treasures are locked away from our vision and experiences. Peaceful Mind Fill your mind with peace and good feelings and your mind will give that experience in return. Whatever you are experiencing in your mind now is what you put there earlier on. Take Time Take time to laugh, it is the music of the soul. Take time to think, it is the source of power. Take time to read, it is the fountain of wisdom. Take time to love and be loved, it is a God-given privilege. Take time to work, it is the price of success. Peaceful Mind Fill your mind with peace and good feelings and your mind will give that experience in return. Whatever you are experiencing in your mind now is what you put there earlier on. |

All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights. They are endowed with reason and conscience and should act towards one another in a spirit of brotherhood.
(Article 1 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights) Respect The respect you earn is no lesser than the respect you have for yourself. Therefore, respect yourself and the world will respect you. Introversion The ability to enjoy one's own company is one of the greatest gifts life has to offer. Learning to turn my thoughts away from useless responsibilities and take my mind into a state of peace enables me to carry important loads without feeling the burden. When my inner landscape is full of beautiful thoughts, everything I do is a pleasure. Gently, I calm down chaotic situations and offer solace to troubled minds. |

To make money we loose health.
And then to restore our health we loose money. We live as if we are never going to die. And we die as if we never lived!!! --------------------------------------------------------------------- Let Go Just as the bird has to find the courage to let go of the branch in order to fly, so we also must let go of our branches if we are to know the exhilaration of soaring to the highest potential of our life. The branches we hold to are our inner attachments - our beliefs, ideas and memories. And then there are the outer attachments - people, possessions, positions and privileges. If we hold on to them we will live in fear (of letting go and loss) and we will never be free. Watch those birds, by letting go of one branch they are able to spend the rest of their life alighting on a million other branches, and they enjoy the view from each. Are you flying and soaring in your life, or are you stuck on one branch, cursing others as they fly past. Go on, try it ...let go! |

Smiling Opens the Heart
Good feelings for others are like ointments that heal wounds and re-establish friendships and relationships. Good feelings are generated in the mind, are transmitted through your attitude and are reflected in your eyes and smile. Smiling opens the heart and a glance can make miracles happen. Manage Emotions Detach from the inner storms, stand back and observe the hurricane pass. Control your own anger and it will die. If you don't detach from it, it will be your master. The Wealthiest The wealthiest of all are those who are pure hearted. (and have lots of money!) |

HOPE If at any time I begin to lose hope in myself, I simply look inside my heart and see all the good actions I have ever performed, from the smallest to the grandest. When I see how much happiness I have given, I easily remember the purpose of my life. Recipe For Happiness Two heaped cups of patience, One 'heartfull' of love, Two handfuls of generosity One 'headful' of understanding and a dash of humor. Sprinkle with kindness, add plenty of faith and mix well, Spread over a period of a lifetime and serve to everyone you meet. Share Your Treasures Do not hide the treasures in your heart in fear that they will be stolen - instead share them with right people and find they multiply. |

A year and a half
When I was born I was so surprised I didn't talk for a year and a half. Making up I always arrive late at the office, but I make up for it by leaving early The brain The brain is a wonderful organ. It starts working the moment you get up in the morning and does not stop until you get into the office The difference Never argue with a fool. People might not know the difference. When you're finished Doing nothing is very hard to do, you never know when you're finished Giving up smoking Giving up smoking is the easiest thing in the world. I know because I've done it thousands of times. ~ Mark Twain Three sides to any argument There are three sides to any argument: your side, my side and the right side Two words Always and never are two words you should always remember never to use. |

86,400 Seconds
Imagine there is a bank that credits your account each morning with £86,400. Every evening whatever part of the balance you fail to use during the day is deleted. What would you do? Draw out every cent and use it well, of course!!! Each of us has such a bank - Its name is TIME. Every morning, it credits you with 86,400 seconds. Invest the day's deposit well, or the loss is yours. How could you bring the most contentment, happiness and benefit to yourself and others? The clock is running. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Forgive To tolerate someone else's mistakes is one thing. To forgive them (only if they deserve it) is even greater ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ How you treat others A wise man once said, every society is judged by how it treats it's least fortunate amongst them. ----------------------------------- Explanations Never give explanations, those who have similar views don't need them, those who have different views don't believe them. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Your Choice Life is all about choices. When you cut away all the junk, every situation is a choice. You choose how you react to situations. You choose how people affect your mood. You choose to be in a good mood or bad mood. The bottom line: It's your choice how you live life. |
