Recently, I heard a very inspirational speech and would like to share some salient points here. I hope these words bring you hope , cheer and joy too.
The universe is built on the cycle of night and day….reflected not just in skies but also in our every day lives.
When challenging times find their way into your life, remind yourself that absolutely nothing is permanent other than existence of temporary.
Anticipate clear skies, sunlight and positivity. Anticipate light at the end of the tunnel. Remember energy follows thoughts.
Life will bring many trials, tests and tribulations. Some days it will flow smoothly while on others it will take you down rocky paths…leaving you very little to hang on to.
Tests are what make life beautiful because it is the trying times that help you learn the richness in contentment.
Not sure about tests making the life beautiful though. I would prefer them once every 5 years 🙂
Have a great day.

@Dawnwriter Thank you dear for sharing such beautiful thoughts with us! Life is a series of ups and downs. But most of us get disheartened by the challenges in our life. This reminds me of a lovely quote by the great sufi poet Rumi: ‘If you are irritated by every rub, how will your mirror be polished?’ |

@Dawnwriter As a motivational worker in my organisation I have certain borrowed motivational thoughts like, “Life is 10% what happens to me and 90% of how I react to it. The most common way people give up their power is by thinking they don’t have any”. |

@suny Most of the problems in our life arise due to the way we react to situations and people. More than often, we react rather than respond. There is a subtle difference between reacting and responding which we fail to recognize. |

I just saw a very beautiful video . It is about an ordinary man who has an extra ordinary heart. He does simple things and yet those things have a huge impact on those around him.
While walking down the street he puts a pot under a leaking drain pipe so that other passers-by do not get wet. He shares his food with a hungry dog. He gives his money to a beggar woman and her daughter. He quietly puts a bunch of bananas outside the door of his old neighbor. He helps a woman push her heavy food cart across the street. For doing these simple acts of kindness, he gets nothing and yet he gets everything. It is a matter of perspective.
The hungry dog becomes his best friend. Flowers grow in the pot under the leaking drainpipe around which butterflies flutter. The beggar woman sends her daughter to school. The food vendor pays it forward and gives away food to a needy. The old neighbor lady gives him a big hug.
I had tears in my eyes while I was watching this video. It is true that every day we have the opportunity to help others. We can share a meal with a hungry person without going hungry ourselves. We can clothe a cold homeless guy, quietly help someone in need.
We do not become rich from helping others but our life and soul does get enriched. |

Sometimes when I am sad or just feeling blue, I read inspirational quotes and they always help me to get in better spirits. There is so much wisdom in a single sentence that I can only marvel at the depth of the perception and intelligence of the people who said these words.
Today I read a few quotations on Hope and they were so profound that I decided to share them here:
What’s your favourite quotation about hope or life in general?

This thought should help people specially those who judge others “Judge not another but judge within and there you will find enough of sin”

So true @bestwriter. If we just pause before saying something and think about our words, there will be much less ugliness in this world. This reminds me of a quote I read: “Before you speak, let your words pass through three gates: At the first gate, ask yourself “Is is true?” At the second gate ask, “Is it necessary?” At the third gate ask, “Is it kind?” ~ Rumi |

@sunil Good for you. What is your local language, if I may ask? If it is Urdu, I would like to read your blog too. |

Somerset Mahgham in one of his writing had said that one does not have to unnecessarily frank. We all have choices but we choose the wrong ones.

I love reading and collecting quotations because they inspire and motivate me. Sometimes they make me see things differently. Here are a few of my favourites.
And my favourite:
