"INSPIRATION"



"Search for the seed of good in every adversity. Master that principle and you will own a precious shield that will guard you well through all the darkest valleys you must traverse. Stars may be seen from the bottom of a deep well, when they cannot be discerned from the mountaintop. So will you learn things in adversity that you would never have discovered without trouble. There is always a seed of good. Find it and prosper."
Og Mandino



"Once we recognize the fact that every individual is a treasury of hidden and unsuspected qualities, our lives become richer, our judgment better, and our world is more right. It is not love that is blind, it is only the unnoticing eye that cannot see the real qualities of people."
Charles H. Percy



"Faith is not something to grasp, it is a state to grow into."
Mahatma Gandhi




"If you are worried about something you can't solve, forget about it and stop worrying because there is nothing you can do about it. Just accept it. And if you are worried about something you can solve, don't worry about it because it is something you can solve. Deal with it. Therefore, there really isn't any reason why people should worry, so spend your "worrying time" doing something positive."

"Everyday is a challenge. It's not about how much money we can make, how popular we can be, how to achieve perfection and be the greatest but how to be genuine, be a true friend, how to be humble, how to be strong, how to share ourselves based on what we have and make a difference. It's difficult but with faith and wisdom challenge yourself."

It's hard knowing that the test we face each day has something to do with ourselves.

"There is hope behind the storm. But if you cannot get behind the storm, then just get through the storm. The storm is only for a season so keep moving, you will eventually move through the storm."

"Life is full of people and situations that make you feel so hurt and offended, by what they say or do. But you should always remember everyone cries and everyone lies, but no one deserves to feel that they're alone. So no matter what you're going through, there is always someone who will take the time to listen to you. They'll tell you to just be true to yourself and remember after the rain soon comes the sun to brighten up your day in each and every way! So don't ever lose hope."

I love this quote because it tells people that instead of sitting around hoping for a miracle, the real miracles can be made by man.

"It is not necessary that GOD will bless you at the very moment of prayer, but HE will wait and will bless you, in fact will come to you to help you out, when you really need HIM."

"It is our own mental attitude that makes the world what it is for us. Our thoughts make things beautiful, our thoughts make things ugly. The whole world is in our own minds. Learn to see things in the proper light. First, believe in this world - that there is meaning behind everything. Everything in the world is good, is holy & beautiful. If you see something evil, think that you are not understanding it in the right light. Throw the burden on yourselves!"
Swami Vivekananda --- Submitted by Sanal P. --- Kerala, India



"When confronted with obstacles in this day and age, you must persevere and endure; you've made it this far and you must remember you are in control. You determine what you can do and where you are going. Never let any one else drag you down and tell you otherwise. You can do whatever you believe you can. Life is not determined by what we are given but by how we choose to use it. So hang on and don't go down without a fight."

"Often people become sad when seeing the sunset because that's when they realize that the day has come to an end. But this is the tradition of the nature. There is also a new sun the next day, which comes with new brightness. We have to create new memories by having faith in time, so when the sun sets, we are prepared for the darkness."
