With so many choices and decisions,
so many demands
from people and events,
in our modern fast changing world,
it's a real challenge to
'keep it simple'.
Making it simple means
making things easy and
clear.
The magic wand to wave over your life
is 'planning
and prioritizing'.
Make plans,
long and short term
and then priorities.
Then practice taking one thing at a time,
so you can have one thought at a time,
with some space
before you have to have
your next thought.
But don't get attached
to your plans or priorities.
Be flexible
and yet focused
and in this way
you can teach yourself
to think simply
and act simply.
One
thought at a time.
At
your own pace.
In
your own space.
A
simple life
is
a contented life.
Surely
there is something
in the unruffled
calm of nature
that
overawes our little
anxieties and doubts:
the
sight of the
deep-blue sky,
and the
clustering stars above
seem to impart
a
quiet
to the mind.
~ Jonathan Edwards
I am
grateful
for what I am and have.
My thanksgiving
is perpetual...
O how I laugh
when I think of my
vague indefinite riches.
No run on my bank
can drain it
for my wealth
is not possession
but enjoyment.
"Your greatness
is measured by your kindness;
your education and intellect
by your modesty;
your ignorance
is betrayed by your suspicions
and prejudices,
and your real caliber
is measured by the consideration
and tolerance
you have for others."
~ William J.H. Boetcker
The fact that I can plant
a seed and it becomes a flower,
share a bit of
knowledge
and it becomes another's,
smile at someone
and
receive a smile in return,
are to me
continual
spiritual
exercises.
~
Dr. Felice Leonardo Buscaglia
If you are unhappy
with
your lot in life,
build a service station
on
it.
~ Corrie Ten Boom
- I CRY TONIGHT -
You'd say baby I love you
I'd say I love you too...
I liked it when you called me baby
but now I need someone to save me
from the misery
the sleepless nights
the pain of a broken heart
of a lost soul.
I don;t know what to do anymore
I am so lost without you
My love was real
I'm thinking yours was fake
I would never have hurt you
the way you hurt me
I would never have made you cry
the way you made me cry
I would never have made you cry
as many times you made me
I cry almost every night now
I wish I had saved all those tears
that you made me cry
so I can drown you in them
I wish I had you
I wish I had someone to hold me
the way you held me
I wish I had someone to kiss me
the way you kissed me
I wish I had someone to make me feel special
the way you made me feel special
I wish I had someone to make me feel beautiful
the way you made me feel beautiful
the way you told me I was beautiful
am I not beautiful now?
am I not special now?
am I not kissable now?
am I not holdable now?
I wish so many things
My biggest wish is you
I wish all these things
The only wish I want to come true is you
It's disappointing
I know I can't have you
But I wish I had you
I have had you in the past
but i screwed up
I made no effort
I love you so much
All I need is your touch
I can't get your touch
and can't have you
The last time you touched me
You hit me
whether you were playing or not
your last touch was when you hit me
the love the pain
they say don't cry because its over
smile because it happened
but I'm not smiling
I'm crying
I cry tonight
Ready or not,
Some day it will all come to an end.
There will be no more sunrises,
no days, no hours or minutes,
All the things you collected,
whether treasured or forgotten,
will pass to someone else.
Your wealth, fame and temporal power
will shrivel to irrelevance.
It will not matter what you owned
or what you were owned..
Your grudges, resentments,
frustrations, and jealousies will finally,
disappear ,so too your hopes,ambitions,
plans and to-do lists will all expire.
The wins and losses
that once seeed so important will fade away.
It won't matter where you came from,
or on what side of the tracks you lived.
It won't matter whether,
you were beautiful or brilliant.
Your gender, skin color, ethnicity will,
be irrelevant.
So what will matter ?
How will the value of,
your days be measured ?
What will matter is not what you bought,
but what you built;
not what you got, but what you gave.
What will matter is not your success,
but you significance.
What will matter is not what you learned,
but what you taught.
What will matter is every act of integrity,
compassion, courage and sacrifice that,
enriched, empowered or encouraged,
other to emulate your example.
What will matter is not your competence,
but your character.
What will matter is not
how many people you knew,
but how many will feel,
a lasting loss when you're gone.
What will matter is not your memories,
but the memories of those who loved you.
What will matter is how long
you will be remembered,
by whom and for what.
Living a life that matters
doesn't happen by accident.
It's not a matter or circumstance,
but of choice.
Choose to live a life that matters.
