Wise Words for You

A caged bird has the ability to fly, but is unable to spread its wings and soar. I need to remind myself that being enthusiastic in all situations is like being a free bird reaching great heights. When I experience this inner freedom and appreciate the joy it brings, I will be able to sustain it even when things go wrong. To be enthusiastic is to be free.

Learn to create silence in your mind and peace will flourish in your soul. You will see life with other eyes. You will discover language of the Supreme. To be internally silent do not think too much. Trust yourself. Trust others. Trust life. You will find it is easier than it seems.

You have the power to tolerate anyone and any situation. But tolerance is not just suffering in silence. It means going beyond any personal discomfort you may feel, and giving a gift to whom ever you would tolerate. Give your time, attention, understanding, compassion, care – all are gifts, which paradoxically, you also receive in the process of giving. And, as you do, you will experience your own self esteem and inner strength grow. In this way you can turn tolerance into strength.

Taking a gently encouraging approach, I must never give up on anyone.

Invest the day’s deposits well, or the loss is yours. How could you bring the most contentment, happiness and benefit to yourself and others? The clock is running.

Happiness is the Fruit of Wealth. But of what wealth? Often, wealth brings with it the fear of losing it. True wealth is knowledge that enables you to live life as the expression of your inner values. Happiness grows when you do something for yourself and for others.
