~ NO GUARANTEE ~

No Guarantee

Accept me as I am --
I have no guarantee.
A claim to perfection I have not.
Perfect I cannot be.
I, like you...am human.
Prone to make mistakes.
Failure is not a character flaw,
Just a part of the human makeup.

I live, I laugh and I also learn.
My knowledge is incomplete.
I am searching all the time,
in waking hours as well as sleep.

I have a long road to travel,
as well as you do.
We learn our lessons on the way.
Wisdom we shall accrue.

Accept me as I am
Because I am ....Me.
And you are You.
No one like me in the world.
That is my only guarantee.

~ LIVES ~

Our lives are books and each day is a page.
We cant erase what was already been written but
we can always try to write a better ending with Gods grace

May your thoughts flows like the water....
flowing serene, pure and smooth.
That even the toughness of rocks can able to wash away by
its constant soothing touch.

Always remember that Hard things are put in our way,
not to stop us, but to call out our courage and strength.

~ INSPIRING QUOTES ~

Youth, beauty, life, accumulated wealth, health, loved ones - none of
them are permanent. A wise man will never run behind these.

-Mahabharata



A student who wishes for luxuries has to sacrifice education. A student who
wishes for good education has to sacrifice luxuries. A student cannot have
both.

-Chanakya Neeti


Follow the three R's:

Respect for self,

Respect for others and

Responsibility for all your actions.

-Dalai Lama


If you look at people less fortunate, less wealthy than you - you will
not become richer. But if you keep looking at people wealthier than
you and try to imitate them, you will definitely become poorer.
-Subhashita


Time will always follow its rules. It will never transgress those boundaries
it imposes on itself. Nobody can harm time. Hence, nobody can change what
fate has in store for them.
-Ramayana


These are three traits of something that is about to be destroyed -
Wanting something that one does not deserve, hurting any one against
dharma, longing for other's wives. Pople who do any of the three
will definitely perish.
-Manusmriti

These three people are the golden flowers that blossom on the creeper named
Earth - the courageous, the learned and the person who knows to serve.

-Mahabharata



When rituals or any task is performed under the fear of fate or due to the greed
will never pay off. It is as useless as trying to create fire from ash.

-Subhashita


You see many stars in the sky at night, but not when the sun rises.
Can you therefore say that there are no stars in the heavens during the day?
Because you cannot find God in the days of your ignorance, say not that there is
no God.

Ramakrishna Paramahamsa

The elephant is a huge animal. But it is brought under control by just using a
iron hook. Darkness is huge and powerful. But is killed by just by a small
lamp. The mountain is huge and powerful, but a small diamond is used to cut the
mountain. It is not useful if you are just huge and physically strong. He who
has intellectual brilliance will reign.

-Chanakya Niti


When you are inspired by some great purpose,some extraordinary
project, all your thoughts break their bonds:Your mind transcends
limitations,your consciousness expands in every direction,and you
find yourself in a new, great, and wonderful world.Dormant forces,
faculties and talents become alive,and you discover yourself to be a
greater person by far than you ever dreamed yourself to be.

-Patanjali



Tell the truth boldly, whether it hurts or not. Never pander to
weakness. If truth is too much for intelligent people and sweeps
them away, let them go; the sooner the better.

-Swami Vivekananda


Qualities of a noble man can be masked only by those of more
virtuous man. In such a scenario, they will not try to outshine each
other. Light from a wick helps you find way during the night. Its
qualities are out shone only by the Sun during the day.

-Panchatantra

Wise men never rely on fate alone. They always rely on individual
industry in addition to what providence throws at them. Just like a
good poet will give careful consideration to meanings of the word in
addition to the sounds.

-Sishupalavadha

~ THE FIRE OF LIFE IS DESIRE ~

THE FIRE OF LIFE IS DESIRE

If you want something badly enough, you're sure to get it.
Your desires will in time externalize themselves into concrete fact.

Obstacles don't matter very much.
Pain or other circumstances can be there.
But if you want to do something bad enough, you'll find a way to get it done.

Your reality forms around your commitment to succeed.
If you're willing to pay the price, your circumstances will change.

You only have to love a thing greatly to get it.

~ THOUGHTS ~

Wherever you are,

be there fully.

For where you are is where

you can most effectively act and live.

If you're constantly wishing that

you were somewhere else,

you diminish the opportunities

for where you are now.

When your thoughts are

in another place or time,

your actions lose much

of their effectiveness.

It's great to dream, to plan, to aspire,

to reach for new and improved circumstances.

And yet the way to successfully do that is

by being the best you can be in the place

where you now find yourself.

It's great to keep yourself focused

on an ambitious goal.

And that focus is the most effective

when it is crafted from the perspective

of where you are now.

To successfully travel the path from here to there,

you must start with being fully here.

The more you give your attention and your energy

to making the most of where you are,

the more quickly you'll move along that path.

There is much to be accomplished,

much to be lived in every place

and in every moment.

Be there fully for all of them,

and life will be rich indeed.

~ WHAT'S HOLDING YOU BACK.? ~

Really... think for a minute.

Is it your attitude?

Maybe you think it's your ability.

Could you have been the victim of a severe case

of the "stink'n thinking"?
Do you find that you have a negative attitude

toward doing something new?

For the past few months,

I've been helping to teach scuba diving.

I am working on my next accreditation,

dive master / assistant instructor.

What an incredible experience it's been.

Every other Saturday morning a new class

of students arrives for their scuba training.

Most of them are scared.

You see it in their eyes.

The look on their faces tells the story.

Not sure what to expect and

scared of what they don't understand.

Did you get that?
They are full of fear.

Simply stated, they are not sure of

what we're going to do, so

they fill their brains with fear.

They have a horrible case of the "what if's".

Yet, by the end of the day,

most will be smiling and hooked for life

on a sport that teaches you to be

underwater, breathing and comfortable.
What's the difference?

What happened in only a few hours

to totally change their mind?
What did we do to scare away their fear?

This got me thinking...

Their fear, your fear...

everyone's fear is based on the "unknown".

What you don't know, may scare you.

Yet, a few simple hours of instruction, reading

and learning can change everything.

I've seen it happen, over and over again.

On Sunday evening when I leave the pool,

I get this huge smile.

I've had a chance to witness and watch people's lives change.

I have a front row seat to see

what others miss so often.

People overcoming their fear,

learning something new and exciting.

To be able to see this happen has been a gift.

I say a gift because watching

people grow, learn and over come

is the most amazing thing to see.
So, I ask you again... what's holding you back?

What fear do you have that is keeping you

from accomplishing the great things

God has for you?

God has great plans for your life.

HE wants to take you where you've never been.

HE wants to use the life

HE gave you to make a difference.
Take that first step.

Enroll in a class.

Read a book.

Find someone who shares

that passion with your interest.

Learn. Find out all you can.

See how small you can make your fear.

Before you know it, you'll be moving along,

growing and looking at your life in a

whole new way...

Perhaps like me, watching marine life swimming

around you while blowing bubbles.

Best way I've found to chase those "what if's" away.

~ Unknown ~

I hope you have an amazing day,

filled with growth, smiles and learning!

WEATHERING THE STORM ...

BE RICH IN ANY CLIMATE

The secret to being rich lies in remembering that
friendships are priceless, time is invaluable,
health is wealth, and love is a treasure.

Create a nest egg of beautiful memories
that you can dip into from time to time
to ease any sorrows.

Have the kind of remembrances
that raise you up with their worth
and keep you there with their wonder.

Always have a supply of hopes on hand
to help you plan your tomorrows.

Remember that when you invest in your dreams,
it is impossible to overpay.

Give away smiles,
and watch them come back to you
a hundred times over.

Stuff your pockets with kindness and optimism;
there is nothing more precious in the world.

I'm sharing this advice with you today
because you are a treasured piece
in the puzzle of my life.
