Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever.
Mahatma Gandhi
Remember, if you are criticizing, you are not being grateful. If you are blaming, you are not being grateful. If you are complaining, you are not being grateful. If you are feeling tension, you are not being grateful. If you are rushing, you are not being grateful. If you are in a bad mood, you are not being grateful.
We always hear about bucket lists. People putting together lists of
things they want to do for themselves before they die. What about lists
of things they want to do for others? Isn’t that what we’ve been taught.
That” service to man is service to God”. It doesn’t have to be material
things we give to those in need. A smile to one who feels invisible to
the rest of the world can say ” Yes I see you, you’re important too”. A
hug for someone who smiles brightly but hides tears behind tired eyes.
Look closely at the old withered hand that worked so hard yet has no
strength to walk in the garden that was so lovingly tendered. Will it
take too much of your time just to hold that hand while saying thank
you? We can give without always expecting something back. That’s what
love is and we are all capable of it – Unknown source, but supplied by my friend V in South Africa
You cannot bring what you want to you if you are feeling stress. Stress or any tension at all is something you have to remove from your system.
You must let the stress go – it is the only way you can bring what you want. The emotion of stress is saying strongly that you do NOT have what you want. Stress or tension is the absence of faith, and so to remove it all you have to do is increase your faith!

Kind words can be short and easy to speak, but their echos are truly endless.
