“What lies behind you and what lies in front of you, pales in comparison to what lies inside of you.”

 ~Ralph Waldo Emerson



                                                                                         


A little black boy was watching the balloon man at the Country Fair.The man was evidently a good salesman,because he allowed a red balloon to break loose and soar high up in the air,thereby attracting a crowd of prospective young customers.


Then he released a blue balloon,then a yellow one and a white one.They all went soaring up into the sky until they disappeared.The little black boy stood looking at the black balloon for a long time,then asked,"Sir,if you sent the black one up would it go as high as the others ?"


The balloon man gave the kid an understanding smile.He snapped the string that held the balloon in place and,as it soared upwards,said,"It isn't the colour,son. It's what's inside that makes it rise."

“To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment.”~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
                                                                                                       

P.S: What if, we would always choose to remember that it is what is inside us that matters?
What if, we choose to believe that each one of us has come equipped with infinite potential for living extraordinary lives???
What if, we could choose to live life with a strong belief ....that our unique presence on the planet at this time.... has the power to make a difference......and transform the world into a happier place ???
Namaste,
