Why Children Are Happier…Just be yourself

65 August 7, 2014

Beautiful and Happy children in my country, Cambodia
Kids have a great knack for being who they are regardless of who is watching. That’s evidenced by the number of times you see them walking with a weird step just because it’s fun or jumping around like a crazy animal because they’re excited.

Can you imagine yourself responding to things the way you want to instead of the way you feel you should? What’s stopping you? So what others may think you’re a touch of crazy if you scream out of excitement when something positive happens or do a happy dance when you’re feeling giddy? The truth is that they’ll probably actually envy you for being who you are and wish that they were able to do the same.
Let yourself respond to life the way you want to respond. Don’t worry about other people’s interpretations of you. Just be yourself and you’ll be much happier.

It is rain that grows flowers, not thunder

330 August 7, 2014

When you do things from your soul,
you feel a river moving in you, a joy.
Raise your words, not voice.
It is rain that grows flowers, not thunder.

~Rumi

Listen – first duty of Love

Comment August 7, 2014

The way to love someone is to lightly run your finger over

that person’s soul until you find a crack, and then gently

pour your love into that crack. –Keith Miller
The flower of life blossoms unexpectedly

Comment August 7, 2014

Love is the flower of life, and blossoms unexpectedly and without law,
and must be plucked where it is found, and enjoyed for the brief
hour of its duration. ~D. H. Lawrence

The world is like a mirror; frown at it, and it frowns at you.
Smile and it smiles, too. ~Herbert Samuels
In the midst of calamities

36 August 6, 2014

We are not going to change the whole world, but we can change ourselves and feel free as birds. We can be serene even in the midst of calamities and, by our serenity, make others more tranquil. Serenity is contagious. If we smile at someone, he or she will smile back. And a smile costs nothing. We should plague everyone with joy. If we are to die in a minute, why not die happily, laughing? ― Swami Satchidananda

Over the horizon…

Comment August 6, 2014

Only through difficulty can you rest at the peak,
look out over the horizon that surrounds you,
and rejoice beyond today’s imagination at how
beautiful life really is and how lucky we truly are.

Respect Older People

33 August 6, 2014

Elderly people are now who you will one day become. Respecting their wisdom, knowledge, grace and fortitude should come second nature to younger generations but it isn't always the case. Sometimes we need reminding of why it is so important to respect our elders for what they have to impart to us that will help ease our journey through life. They should always be respected like you want them to respect you.

Be considerate of older people's well-being. The reality of the human body is that it deteriorates as we age. Different people age differently, according to their genes, lifestyle choices and life's experiences and so you will find some elderly are much fitter and daredevil than others who are forced to live with illness or medical conditions. It is only proper that fit and healthy younger generations show respect the reality of the human body's growing frailty in ways that acknowledge the younger person's ability to cope more easily with certain physical situations.

Shantidevas’ Bodhisattva vows

Should anyone wish to ridicule me and make me an object of jest and scorn why should I possibly care if I have dedicated myself to others?

Let them do as they wish with me so long as it does not harm them. May no one who encounters me ever have an insignificant contact.

Regardless whether those whom I meet respond towards me with anger or faith, may the mere fact of our meeting contribute to the fulfilment of their wishes.

May the slander, harm and all forms of abuse that anyone should direct towards me act as a cause of their enlightenment.
