Heart of Gratitude!!!

A blind boy sat on the steps of a building with a hat by his feet. He held up a sign which said: "I am blind, please help." There were only a few coins in the hat.

A man was walking by. He took a few coins from his pocket and dropped them into the hat. He then took the sign, turned it around, and wrote some words. He put the sign back so that everyone who walked by would see the new words.

Soon the hat began to fill up. A lot more people were giving money to the blind boy. That afternoon the man who had changed the sign came to see how things were. The boy recognized his footsteps and asked, "Were you the one who changed my sign this morning? What did you write?"

The man said, "I only wrote the truth. I said what you said but in a different way."
I wrote: "Today is a beautiful day but I cannot see it."

Both signs told people that the boy was blind. But the first sign simply said the boy was blind. The second sign told people that they were so lucky that they were not blind. Should we be surprised that the second sign was more effective?

Moral of the Story: Be thankful for what you have.. Be creative. Be innovative. Think differently and positively.

When life gives you a 100 reasons to cry, show life that you have 1000 reasons to smile Face your past without regret. Handle your present with confidence. Prepare for the future without fear. Keep the faith and drop the fear.

The most beautiful thing is to see a person smiling…

And even more beautiful is, knowing that you are the reason behind it!!!

Enjoy your day with a heart of gratitude .

Why Invest in Laughter?

It is impossible to worry while you're laughing.

Humor cuts stress levels in half.

Laughing helps you to stay happy and healthy and helps you return to good health when ill.

Laughter increases, by 20%, the activity of killer cells within the body which serve to destroy viruses and tumor cells.

Train yourself to look for the comedy in your chaos.

A sense of humor is the number one survival skill.

George Bernard Shaw once said, "When you find something funny search it for hidden truth."

"The art of medicine consists of amusing the patient while nature cures the disease." Voltaire

Humor helps us cope, conquer, and carry on.

A good laugh is not only the result of humor, it is often also the cause. The body heals with play, the mind heals with laughter and the spirit heals with joy.The best exercise is jumping for joy.

"Joy is the serious business of heaven." C.S. Lewis.

We begin to solve our problems when we begin to see the humor in them.

"Time spent laughing is time spent with the gods." Japanese proverb.
When we feel like laughing the least , we need it most.
If it feels good to laugh, then laugh to feel good.


A sense of humor is not inherited, it is learned.

Smile

Just smile.

A smile is a good contagent. The more it spreads the better, for smiling makes us feel better throughout our life. It could be looked at as a sheild throughout
existance.

Smiling relieves tension. Tension of the smiler as well as all who see the smile leaves. It is miraculous, the occurance has very infectious tendencies.

The positivity is endless from a smile. It is a simple thing, however it could positively enhance wonder miraculously. It produces such wonder and beauty, but
it is one of the simplest thing we can do. When misery comes just smile at it.

Some may say you are not dealing with your issues, however you are just reflecting them away. Be that as it may, it is your way of showing your unstoppable drive throughout your life.

Life is full of issues, both good and bad. We deal with them. It is our choice how. Positively or negatively. We always have that choice. They both are
extremely magical. Their wonder is of true magnificense to all exsistence.

The Greatness of Life

Life is a great mystery. For, we all have unknown talents. These talents are meant to help us, however they sometimes hurt us. That is, if no one sees the value and communication doesn’t begin. We need more validation more than we know. It is a good idea to write things down. We, as well, have to interact to share our views, thus communicating with our community on a whole.

Be open to all the help that is given, for you owe yourself that much for the value of improving. Socialize and learn from these conversations as much as you can. If an idea leaves you, don’t worry, for they come back when they see fit, just stay open to all possibilities

Someone is always struggling with you, throughout life. Just ask for advice in all you do. For the human experience is a collaboration of the vast ideas of existence. Moments are to valuable to let pass. Make friendships wherever you are. Most of all it is wise to be creatively happy in all that you do.

For life is all that you make of it. Be open although cautious. You will lead or follow, but always lead your life as individualistically as possible. Coordination of your passions to what society expects of you is also imperative. Time is yours, do what you will with it. These are only guidelines to create peacefulness and joy.
You always have a choice. Follow as many societal rules as possible. However it may be difficult to do this, for the unknown is as unknown as it can be. Every event has degrees of unknown aspects. These make it as fun or as terrifying as you want to live. You have to follow your passions as well as maintain your life.

Fires

Brush fires are tireing, but they do have a point. they are useful in that and way unknown. Follow instints, for they know the best path, but not the the clearest or fastest. Life is a confusing worldwind. use what's given no more no less.

Fires, themselves, use a ton of energy. However they are extremely beautiful to see. This proves everything has to sides. Fires destroy, but at the same time are beautiful. Is that not the same with everything else?
