Life and Happiness

"When I was five years old my mother told me

that happiness was the key to life. 

When I went to school they asked me 

what I wanted to be when I grew up,

I wrote down "Happy".

They told me i didn't understand the assignment.

I told them they didn't understand life!"

John Lennon

If in my dreams

Beautiful words for all of us with sons

"I'll always need my sons no matter what age I am.
            My sons have made me laugh..
                         made me proud...
                                  made me cry...
                                          hugged me tight..
                                                     seen me fall... 
                                                           cheered me up...
                                                                   kept me going strong...
             and driven me crazy at times! 


       But, my sons are a promise from God 
                                              that I will have a friend forever!"

Challenge

Your biggest Challenge isn't someone else!

It's the burn in your lung and the ache in your legs 

and the little voice inside your head that says "I can't do this"!

But when you do not listen

You just push harder

Thats when the little voice inside yourself fades and changes

now it says "I can"

Then you discover that the person you thought you were

is no match for the person

You REALLY ARE!

Live the life...

Live the life you want to live!

Be the person you want to remember!

Make Decisions!

Make mistakes!

And if you fail, 

At least you tried

Lifes Lessons

And now... today's life lesson:

I've learned that pleasing everyone is impossible, 
but pissing everyone off is a piece of cake.

The Law of Karma

The Law of Karma

The Law of Karma: Every action generates a force of energy that returns to us in like kind. What we sow is what we reap. And when we choose actions that bring happiness and success to others, the fruit of our karma is happiness and success.

I will put the Law of Karma into effect by making a commitment to take the following steps:

Today I will witness the choices I make in each moment. And in the mere witnessing of these choices, I will bring them to my conscious awareness. I will know that the best way to prepare for any moment in the future is to be fully conscious in the present.
Whenever I make a choice, I will ask myself two questions: "What are the consequences of this choice that I'm making?" and "Will this choice bring fulfillment and happiness to me and also to those who are affected by this choice?"
I will then ask my heart for guidance and be guided by its message of comfort or discomfort. If the choice feels comfortable, I will plunge ahead with abandon. If the choice feels uncomfortable, I will pause and see the consequences of my action with my inner vision. This guidance will enable me to make spontaneously correct choices for myself and for all those around me.

Desires

"When all your desires are distilled You will cast just two votes: 

To love more, And be happy."

- Hafiz -

Simple

"When the solution is simple, God is answering." - Albert Einstein

Advice

"Why are we often so good at giving advice to friends who need it, but never use that same advice for ourselves?"

The past

"When people tell me they've learned from experience, I tell them the trick is to learn from other people's experience." ~Warren Buffett

Happiness and pain!

"Everyone wants happiness. No one wants pain. But you can't have a rainbow without a little rain."

Attitude

"You attract people with similar attitudes and beliefs based on how you act. Be positive and positive things will happen to you."

Opportunity for a kindness

"Wherever there is a human being, there is an opportunity for a kindness." - Seneca

Relationships

"In a relationship, you have to accept the other person for all of who they are and not just the parts that are easy to like."

Place in life

"If you aren't where you want to be then know that this is not permanent. It's just a means to a better ending." - Tony Gaskins

i dont care..

"I don't care if you are black, white, straight, bi-sexual, gay, lesbian, short, tall, fat, skinny, rich or poor. If you are nice to me, Ill be nice to you.... Simple as that!" - Eminem

Life's about the people

"Life's not about the people who act true to your
 face.
                  It's about the people who remain true 
behind your back."

Friends

Friends are like condoms, they're there for your protection when things get hard.

When the ex says...

"When you ex says 'You'll never find someone like me' You are supposed to turn around and say 'I sure as hell hope not!'"

Forget the Ex...

Life lesson...

I am!

Do I really ask too much?

"I don't want a perfect relationship.


             I just want someone


       who I can act silly with,     someone who




treats me well
                          and loves being with me.








              Is that so much to ask for?"

Balls or vagina?

Why do people say "Grow some balls?" Balls are weak and sensitive!

 If you really wanna get tough, grow a vagina! Those things take a 

pounding!!" - Betty White
