Angels
2008-03-03 23:14:11
In September 1960, I woke up one morning with six hungry babies and just 75 cents in my pocket. Their father was gone. The boys ranged from three months to seven years; their sister was two. Their Dad had never been much more than a presence they feared. Whenever they heard his tires crunch on the gravel driveway they would scramble to hide under their beds. He did manage to leave 15 dollars a

Wealth
2008-02-28 06:30:36
Things Are Not Always What They Seem... Two traveling angels stopped to spend the night in the home of a wealthy family. The family was rude and refused to let the angels stay in the mansion's guest room. Instead the angels were given a small space in the cold basement. As they made their bed on the hard floor, the older angel saw a hole in the wall and repaired it. When the younger angel asked

The Practice: Dalai Lama
2008-02-21 22:05:29
A group spent days visiting with the Dalai Lama focusing upon what they believe the five most important questions to be considered moving into the new millennium. The five questions were: 1. How do we address the widening gap between rich and poor? 2. How do we protect the earth? 3. How do we educate our children? 4. How do we help Tibet and other oppressed countries and peoples of the world

The Ant And The Contact Lens

Brenda was a young woman who was invited to go rock climbing. Although she was scared to death, she went with her group to a tremendous granite cliff. In spite of her fear, she put on the gear, took a holdon the rope, and started up the face of that rock. Well, she got to a ledge where she could take a breather. As she was hanging on there, the safety rope snapped against Brenda's eye and knocked

I Am Thankful For.......
2008-02-15 06:28:27
-The mess to clean after a party because it means I have been surrounded by friends. -The taxes I pay because it means that I'm employed. -The clothes that fit a little too snug because it means I have enough to eat -My shadow who watches me work because it means I am out in the sunshine. -A lawn that needs mowing, windows that need cleaning and gutters that need fixing because it means I

The Fifteen Interludes of Life
2008-02-10 23:25:59
1. Don't go for wealth - it can deceive; Don't be hung up on looks - they will fade away. Go for someone who makes you smile 'cause only a smile makes a dark day bright. Have hope that you find that person who gets you smiling. 2. May you have enough happiness to make you sweet, enough trials to make you strong, enough sorrow to keep you human, enough hope to make you happy and enough money to

Inner Harvest
2008-02-10 23:22:43
When I'm comfortable with me, I'm comfortable with you. I can't expect you to give me peace and serenity -- they come from within, and they are nurtured by spiritual growth. If I'm uncomfortable with myself, not at peace, the tension spills over into my relationship with you, and nothing seems quite right. We are each responsible for our own serenity. It develops out of knowing who we are and

Song Of The Bird
2008-02-05 02:36:40
A man found an eagle's egg and put it in a nest of a barnyard hen. The eagle hatched with the brood of chicks and grew up with them. All his life, the eagle did what the barnyard chicks did, thinking he was a barnyard chicken. He scratched the earth for worms and insects. He clucked and cackled. And he would thrash his wings and fly a few feet in the air. Years passed and the eagle grew very


The Burning Hut
2008-02-05 02:35:54
The only survivor of a shipwreck washed up on a small, uninhabited island. He prayed feverishly for God to rescue him, and every day he scanned the horizon for help, but none seemed forthcoming. Exhausted, he eventually managed to build a little hut out of driftwood to protect him from the elements, and to store his few possessions. But then one day, after scavenging for food, he arrived home to

A Scoutmaster Saves the Day
2008-01-29 04:00:23
For weeks the troop has been engaged in expectant preparation for its Parents' Night program. Everything was in order. The walls were filled with displays, the scouts with enthusiasm and the tables with good things to eat. The toastmaster was well under way. The crowd sang with that respectably restrained enthusiasm that typified a Parents' Night program. Then Jimmie Davis arose to give his

Creative Visualization
2008-01-24 03:15:19
Creative visualization involves the use of your imagination and a belief that we are co-creators of our reality. One of my favorite, easy to use techniques is "the Pink Bubble Technique." 1. Image what it is you want to create (the first time I did this, I was presenting a workshop called "Stage II Recovery" and I imaged a room filled with people who were enthusiastic and responsive.) Use as many

More on Affirmations
2008-01-24 03:12:58
Affirmations are positive statements stated in the present tense--I am happy (rather that I want to be happy or I will be happy). Some believe that repeating the affirmation many, many times will plant it into your unconscious and magnetize it to you. I believe it is first necessary to address the "Yeah, buts" that show up. There are many ways to do this. For example, using the above affirmation:

Neale Donald Walsch's Conversations With GOD
2008-01-19 00:39:28
God: Think of it this way. The word "I" is the key that starts the engine of creation. The words "I am" are extremely powerful. They are statements to the universe. Commands. Now, whatever follows the word "I" (which calls forth the Great I Am) tends to manifest in physical reality. Therefore "I" + "want success" produces you wanting success. "I" + "want money" must produce you wanting money. It

What are Our Beliefs About Money?
2008-01-15 23:13:14
Do we believe that money is evil and wrong? Money is neither. It is a commodity on earth, a necessity. It is what people need to purchase many of their basic needs, as well as luxuries and treats; it is one way they are rewarded for their work. Loving money, however, can be as self-defeating as loving any other commodity. We can become obsessed with money; we can use it compulsively to gain a


One can Acquire Everything in Solitude-Except Character!
2008-01-15 23:10:25
One friend of mine is fond of telling me that every difficult experience I undergo is "character building." No matter what the situation is or how upset I am, she never indulges me with pity and soft words. Her favorite saying is "Out of the hottest fires come the strongest metals." Unfortunately, she's right. Our maturity, our personalities and our attitudes are only tested and formed when we

Each Day a New Beginning
2008-01-15 23:08:00
Our lives in all aspects are a journey toward a destination, one fitting to our purpose, our special gifts, our particular needs as men or women. Each day contributes to our journey, carrying us closer to our destination. However, we often take a circuitous route. We get stranded or waylaid by our selfish desires, by the intrusion of our controlling ego. We can reflect on the progress we've made

Suddenly a rich businessman passing by approached him and enquired as to why he was sitting under a tree smoking and not working. To this the poor fisherman replied that he had caught enough fishes for the day. Hearing this the rich man got angry and said "why dont you catch more fishes instead of sitting

The Promise of A New Day
2008-01-05 08:31:15
To wait for someone else, or to expect someone else to make my life richer, or fuller, or more satisfying, puts me in a constant state of suspension. How tempting it is to make another person responsible for our happiness, and how absurd. To give such power to others means we're at their mercy; it does not mean we're happy. Whereas, accepting full responsibility for our own acts and feelings

Young Private Winneger was with the U.S. Army as it marched through Europe at the end of World War II. His unit was assigned to a European village with the orders to secure the town, search for any hiding Nazis and to help the villagers in any way they could. Winneger was on patrol one night when he saw a figure running through a field just outside the village. He shouted, "Halt or I'll shoot."

A well-known speaker started off his public speech in a strange manner – by holding up a Rupee 1000 Note !! Holding up the Note high in the air in one of his hands, he addressed the eagerly looking curious audience, "Who would like this Rupee 1000 Note?" With great cheers almost all of them raised their hands with the shout, "I want it", "I want it" !! He said, "Oh! that's nice. Well, I am

The Sculptor's Attitude
2007-12-26 05:35:31
I woke up early today, excited over all I get to do before the clock strikes midnight. I have responsibilities to fulfill today. I am important. My job is to choose what kind of day I am going to have. Today I can complain because the weather is rainy or I can be thankful that the grass is getting watered for free. Today I can feel sad that I don't have more money or I can be glad that my


Self Appraisal- 2

Once upon a time a Washer man was bringing up two donkeys. Let us say Donkey-A and Donkey-B. Donkey-A felt it was very energetic and could do better than the other. It always tried to pull the washer man’s attraction over it by taking more load and walking fast in front of him. Innocent Donkey-B is normal, so it will walk normal, irrespective of the waterman’s presence. After a period of

A little boy went into a drug store, reached for a soda carton and pulled it over to the telephone. He climbed onto the carton so that he could reach the buttons on the phone and proceeded to punch in seven digits.

The Best of BITS & PIECES
2007-12-10 22:35:43
Most successful people are people who take risks -calculated risks - but nevertheless, risks. Consider the case of the rising young executive who suddenly found himself unemployed when his company went through a downsizing. When he asked "Why me?" the vice president, who was the young man's superior, explained that he was too conservative in the way he did his job. "Things have gotten more


Detaching With Love
2007-12-10 22:06:13
Sometimes people we love do things we don't like or approve of. We react. They react. Before long, we're all reacting to each other, and the problem escalates. When do we detach? When we're hooked into a reaction of anger, fear, guilt, or shame. When we get hooked into a power play -- an attempt to control or force others to do something they don't want to do. When the way we're reacting isn't


Examine Yourself, Watch Yourself

One day all the employees reached the office and they saw a big advice on the door on which it was written: "Yesterday the person who has been hindering your growth in this company passed away. We invite you to join the funeral in the room that has been prepared in the gym". In the beginning, they all got sad for the death of one of their colleagues, but after a while they started getting

57 Cents That Made History

A sobbing little girl stood near a small church from which she had been turned away because it 'was too crowded'. "I can't go to Sunday School," she sobbed to the pastor as he walked by. Seeing her shabby, unkempt appearance, the pastor guessed the reason nd , taking her by the hand, took her inside and found a place for her in the Sunday School class. The child was so touched that she went to

Something To Think About
2008-03-16 11:50:15
When William Stidger taught at Boston University, he once reflected upon the great number of unthanked people in his life. Those who had helped nurture him, inspire him or cared enough about him to leave a lasting impression. One was a schoolteacher he'd not heard of in many years. But he remembered that she had gone out of her way to put a love of verse in him, and Will had loved poetry all his


On Attitude
2008-03-23 10:05:40
"An optimist expects his dreams to come true; a pessimist expects his nightmares to." Laurence J. Peter Sometimes the only thing we can change is our attitude--and that is enough. Our attitude can be much more important than the objective reality of the situation. One person who's stuck in traffic fumes at fate, snarling, "Why does this always happen to me?" Meanwhile, the person in the car just


Co-dependence versus Interdependence
2008-03-23 10:00:01
Co-dependence is the unconscious dependency that exists when we don't recognize and accept our need for others. Interdependence is the conscious acknowledgment of our need for one another. The need for connection and contact between human beings is very important to acknowledge. Not only do we need intimate relationships with our partners, nuclear families, and close friends, but also we need a
