“Dreams are renewable. No matter what our age or condition, there are still untapped possibilities within us and new beauty waiting to be born.”

– Dr. Dale E. Turner

      ALWAYS HAVE A DREAM

" Forget about the days
when it's been cloudy,
but don't forget your hours in the sun.

Forget about the times
you've been defeated,
but don't forget the victories you've won.

Forget about the mistakes
that you can't change now,
but don't forget the lessons.

Forget about the misfortunes
you've encountered,
but don't forget the times your luck has turned.

Forget about the days
when you've been lonely,
but don't forget the friendly
smiles you've seen......

Forget about the plans
that didn't seem to work out right,
but don't forget to always have a dream."

“Everyone thinks of changing the world, but no one thinks of changing himself.” – Leo Tolstoy

Don't ask the world to change — you change first. Then you'll get a good enough look at the world so that you'll be able to change whatever you think ought to be changed. Take the obstruction out of your own eye. If you don't you have lost the right to change anyone or anything. Till you are aware of yourself, you have no right to interfere with anyone else or with the world.

~ Anthony de Mello

It always seems easier to need someone else to change.

~ Alan Cohen

 

“The world as we have created it is a process of our thinking. It cannot be changed without changing our thinking.”
― Albert Einstein

 

“They always say time changes things, but you actually have to change them yourself.”
― Andy Warhol

 

P.S:What if this could be the first item on the to-do list?????

What if each one took total responsibility for oneself….and worked consistently on changing oneself????

What if in the process of doing so, one could be a catalyst for greater change???

The world would  automatically change for the better,would it not???????

“When we stop to look at everything that is right with life, our perception, attitude and outlook shift miraculously ♥”

~Panache Desai

Happiness is our natural state. Happiness is the natural state of little children, to whom the kingdom belongs until they have been polluted and contaminated by the stupidity of society and culture. To acquire happiness you don't have to do anything, because happiness cannot be acquired. Does anybody know why? Because we have it already. How can you acquire what you already have? Then why don't you experience it? Because you've got to drop something. You've got to drop illusions. You don't have to add anything in order to be happy; you've got to drop something. Life is easy, life is delightful. It's only hard on your illusions, your ambitions, your greed, your cravings. Do you know where these things come from? From having identified with all kinds of labels!

"Obstacles to Happiness"

~Anthony de Mello

 

    “The saddest summary of life contains three descriptions: could have, might have, and should have.”

~ Author Unknown

  “I am always happy--because I choose to be--I choose the attitude of gratitude.”

~ Miles O'Brien Riley

 

P.S: My happiness is in my hands…your happiness….in your hands.

Each one of us must take total responsibility for one’s happiness.

If happiness is our natural state….then why are so many people so unhappy ?

 It is because they choose to focus on something that is not working in their lives instead of the countless things that are working amazingly well.

Is there a key to happiness????

Yes,indeed there is.It is called choice.

When we choose to be who we naturally are ,we choose to live with greater awareness.We smile more,listen more,accept more,appreciate more,love more and of course,be ever so much more grateful.

“Consciousness includes everything and judges nothing.” Gary M Douglas

 

Is it possible for the rose to say,

"I will give my fragrance to the good people who smell me, but I will withhold it from the bad?"

Or is it possible for the lamp to say, "I will give my light to the good people in this room, but I will withhold it from the evil people"?

Or can a tree say, "I'll give my shade to the good people who rest under me, but I will withhold it from the bad"?

These are images of what love is about.

How Happiness Happens

~Anthony de Mello

 

"The first recipe for happiness is: avoid too lengthy meditation on the past." ~Andre Maurois

P.S (Or lengthy fearful meditations re: the future)

 

“A phenomenal life is where everything you touch and everything you do changes and alters and makes everything better for you and everybody you come in contact with.” Gary M Douglas

P.S:In continuation with the above piece of wisdom from Anthony…it is true that nothing in Nature is judgmental.

The Sun offers light and warmth to ALL

the rivers allow everyone and everything their water

 

the trees provide oxygen to ALL….

Judgement,criticism and exclusion are purely human traits.

 

Want to know the way to happiness?????

Happiness is the way

 

Is there a key to happiness????

Yes,there is.

Rising above judgment of oneself and others affords one the freedom to be who one chooses to be…..happily so…….while allowing everyone/everything the same privilege.

CONCEALMENT

The Master once told the story of a priceless antique bowl that fetched a fortune at a public auction.

It had been used by a tramp who ended his days in poverty, quite unaware of the value of the bowl with which he begged for pennies.

When a disciple asked the Master what the bowl stood for, the Master said, "Your self"!

Asked to elaborate, he said, "All your attention is focused on the penny knowledge you collect from books and teachers. You would do better to pay attention to the bowl in which you hold it".

~Anthony de Mello

 

P.S:What would it take for you to treat yourself as a unique/ precious/valuable creation on planet Earth….today….and everyday ??

When you choose to be aware of your true value……. you give permission to others to see the uniqueness of YOU.

“Happiness is an inside job.”~ William Arthur Ward

"Why is everyone here so happy except me?"

"Because they have learned to see goodness and beauty everywhere," said the Master.

"Why don't I see goodness and beauty everywhere?"

"Because you cannot see outside of you what you fail to see inside."

Projection

~ Anthony de Mello

 

 

“A healthy outside starts from the inside.”~Robert Urich

 

 

 

“Happiness doesn't depend on any external conditions, it is governed by our mental attitude.”~Dale Carnegie

 

“Everyone has inside of him a piece of good news. The good news is that you don't know how great you can be! How much you can love! What you can accomplish! And what your potential is!’ ~ Anne Frank

“True happiness is... to enjoy the present, without anxious dependence upon the future.”~Lucius Annaeus Seneca

 

P.S: Like everything else in life, happiness is a choice.

May you always choose to be happy …….no matter what !
