India Vision: |Venad| MOTIVATION

The power of one is above all things
The power to believe in yourself
Often well beyond any latent ability previously demonstrated.
The mind is the athlete,
The body is simply the means it uses."

" Listening to your heart,
Finding who you are, is not simple.
It takes time for the chatter to quiet down.
In the silence of not doing,
We begin to know what we feel.
If we listen and hear what is being offered,
Then anything in life can be our guide.
Listen."

That it is not an act of aggression.

That you have an equal right to it."

" Happiness is illusive and not easily attained by most.
People are quick to tire of the normalcy of life
And search fruitlessly for things unattainable.
To waste one's existence on the futile quest
For something they already posses
Is one of life's greatest disappointments.
To enjoy what one has before it is gone
Is the true path to happiness.
They merely hasten to destruction and sadness.
Love your life, as it now is.
Your future self will bless you for it."

I'd Pick More Daisies

" Of course, you can't unfry an egg, but there's no law against thinking about it.

If I had my life to live over, I would try to make more mistakes. I would relax.

I would be sillier than I have been this trip. I would be less hygienic. I would go more places. I would climb more mountains and swim more rivers. I would eat more ice-cream and less spinach. I would have more actual troubles and fewer imaginary troubles.

You see, I have been one of those fellows who live prudently, hour after hour, day after day. Oh, I have had my moments. But if I had it to do over again, I would have more of them - a lot more. I never go anywhere without a thermometer, a map, a raincoat and a parachute. If I had it to do over, I would travel lighter.

If I had my life to live over, I would start going barefoot a little earlier in the spring and stay that way a little later in the fall. I would have more dogs. I would keep later hours. I would have more sweethearts. I would fish more. I would ride more merry-go-rounds. I would go to more circuses.

In a world in which practically everybody else seems to be consecrated to the gravity of the situation, I would rise to glorify the levity of the situation. For I agree with Will Durant, who said, "Gaiety is wiser than wisdom."

If I had my life to live over, I'd pick more daisies."

" Download happiness from love's site
Sorrows make you search this site
Only if you know how to surf with kindness
You can come out of all errors and mess.
Beware of the jealousy virus
And come out of that doubtful fuss.
Hold the hand of faith
And see how u can browse joyfully
Far & wide with this mate.
Your wishes & Hopes leads you to net dreams,
And with Love for life only
Can we live in full esteem."
--- Prakash --- Ghana, Africa

" Until one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back, always ineffectiveness. Concerning all acts of initiative (and creation), there is one elementary truth the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans.

The moment one definitely commits oneself, then providence moves too. All sorts of things occur to help one that would never otherwise have occurred. A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one's favor all manner of unforeseen incidents and meetings and material assistance, which no man could have dreamed would have come his way.

Whatever you can do, or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power and magic in it. Begin it now."

" Once in a while you meet someone, and soon
You both discover the two of you are truly
Something special to each other. . .
You share your thoughts and feelings so
Relaxed, so openly, and right away you
Know your friendship's truly meant to be."

" The only credential the City (NY) asked was the boldness to dream.

" A SMILE costs nothing, but gives much. It enriches those who receive, without making poorer those who give. It takes but a moment, but the memory of it sometimes lasts forever.

None is so rich or mighty that he can get along without it, and none is so poor but that he can be made rich by it.

A smile creates happiness in the home, fosters good will in business, and is the countersign of friendship. It brings rest to the weary, cheer to the discouraged, sunshine to the sad, and is nature's best antidote for trouble. Yet it cannot be bought, begged, borrowed, or stolen, for it is something that is of no value to anyone until it is given away.

Some people are too tired to give you a smile. Give them one of yours, as none needs a smile so much as he who has no more to give."
--- Based on the writings of Rabbi Samson Raphael Hirsch

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."
