Wise Words for You

This magnificent creature reminds us that strength and resilience lie within us all. Despite facing challenges and adversity, the tiger perseveres, adapts, and continues to thrive. May we draw inspiration from the tiger's unwavering spirit and unrelenting determination. May we too roar loud and proud, overcoming obstacles and standing tall in the face of adversity. Remember, just like the tiger, we are capable of greatness. Let's unleash our inner strength and let our roar be heard!

For many years, I have overcome a lot and trust me when you see my journey, you will be saying, "That's one hell of a journey."  From the outset, all seemed normal, normal in the context that everything was good. The difficulty was adapting and adapting to change, which at times, I often found difficult. Wise Words for You started in 2012 after my late Nan died and even then I never thought of blogging, but I did and along the way I did experiment with having others help me by contributing their wisdom.  I'm forever grateful for Alan Jones; my mentor, my tutor, my work colleague and most of all, a great friend. His skills in everything just shows anything is possible and with his posts he shared with me helped me grow me more. Then there was Rick Waid, whom I met through Alan, and this friendship was unique as I was Alan's Web Administrator for his radio show entitled, The Real Twilight Zone, and this gave me the audience to reach further than my home country, tha...

On a busy New York City day, author  David J. Polly  hopped into a cab and asked the driver to drop him off at Grand Central Station. A few minutes later a car jumped out in front of them and if it hadn’t been for the fast reflexes of his driver they would’ve had an accident Just as soon as David regained his composure, he came to the edge of losing it again when the reckless driver had the audacity to begin yelling at David’s taxi driver. David was shocked by this. But what really blew him away was the taxi drivers response when David asked him why he didn’t take the erratic drivers bait and argue back — something David now calls  “ The Law of the Garbage Truck .” “Many people are like garbage trucks. They run around full of garbage, full of frustration, full of anger, and full of disappointment. As their garbage piles up, they look for a place to dump it. And if you let them, they’ll dump it on you. So when someone wants to dump on you, don’t take it per...

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.

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.

In the silence of my being, in the stillness of peace, I ponder the greatness of my existence, and the truly endless love and power I have within me.

Just as we put the rubbish out for collection, in the same way, at the same time, we can also put out the rubbish from our minds and hearts.  Throw out the wasteful thoughts and get rid of all the toxic emotions that have piled up.  And, remember once you’ve put the rubbish out, don’t pick it back up again. Put the rubbish out, keep your mind and heart clean, and you’ll have space for clear thinking and happy emotio

If I learn to create love in my heart and silently share it with everyone I meet, love will grace every corner of my life. As a small footnote, yesterday's Thought was Last Thought because it was late and it was a last thought before settling down to rest.

Think elevated thoughts and your thoughts become like stars.  Hold elevated thoughts in your mind, and thoughts, like stars, become bright and luminous. When your mind becomes like the clear starry night sky, your thoughts, like stars will brighten your mood and illuminate your world.

Remember that you are very special. No one can play your role better than you.

Each one of us is a walking radiator. Mostly we radiate thoughts and attitudes. From deep within we radiate our state of being, and the essential, original and eternal state of every being is peaceful and loving. But we block and distort this energy with our attachments. Attachments turn love into fear, peace into anger and then distort our attitudes and actions towards others. This is neither relaxing for ourselves, or for those around us. Which is why detachment is the secret to living lightly and lovingly.

Love dissolves hate. Kindness melts cruelty. Compassion calms passion. Cooperation evokes love and when we bow, others bend. This creates harmony.
