Solving problems

If you look at any situation you will see an opportunity for learning contained within it. The more powerful the situation, the more powerful the potential learning.

Do not expect compliments

There was a hunter who came into the possession of a special bird dog. The dog was the only one of its kind, because it can walk on water. One day he invited a friend to go hunting with him so that he could show off his prized possession. After some time, they shot a few ducks, which fell into the river. The man ordered his dog to run and fetch the birds. The dog ran on water to fetch the birds. The man was expecting a compliment about the amazing dog, but did not receive it. Being curious, he asked his friend if the friend had noticed anything unusual about the dog.

The friend replied, "Yes, I did see something unusual about your dog. Your dog can't swim!"

Moral of the story is:
A lot of people we face everyday are negative. They choose to look at the hole in the middle rather than the doughnut.
Do not expect compliments or encouragement from them. These are the people who cannot pull you out of your present situation. They can only push you down. So be aware of them also don’t be like them.

Spirituality

Spirituality helps us to see God's love, not only in times of success, but also in times of failure. We see life not as a 100 metre sprint in pursuit of fleetin

Life is a bed of roses

It's the way you look at the thorns of the 'bed of roses'. The thorns protect you and bless you. The pain incurred from a prick of the thorn is a blessing in di
sguise.
It's a blessing of joy.<br />- Vaibhav Dugar

Charity

What we give away is not ours because you are only the channel. But charity is 'done' and not given. You only do something for someone without expecting anythin
g in return for it. The left hand should not know what the right hand is doing because it is not the right hand's business to know.

Humility and patience

Be humble and patient and you will see how things around you change. When you stop demanding, others will start honouring you, even if you don't want it.
When you are aware of your ignorance you remain with the attitude of a beginner. Then you listen intently, open and receptive. Once you think that you know, the
n you do not listen anymore you only speak. Your mind and intellect become full.

Make a difference

To make a difference in the world, serve to please the Lord.
Direct every action of yours to Him.

Facing problems

When you face a problem, turn your attention to solutions. Be the source of a solution to the problem rather than become its victim.

The world is in need of servants

- Bhavik Kaul

Creativity

What you really have to do, if you want to be creative, is to unlearn all the teasing and censoring that you've experienced throughout your life. If you are tru
ly a creative person, you know that feeling insecure and lonely is par for the course. You can't have it both ways: You can't be creative and conform, too. You
have to recognize that what makes you different also makes you creative.

Dreams

God never simply buries our dead and broken dreams because He'd be burying our hearts along with our dreams. One of two positive things will happen. Either the
dream will become fertilizer for something even better, or the Lord will give me the gumption and oomph to bring my dream to fruition. I can't lose either way!

Success and Fame

There are high spots in all of our lives and most of them have come about through encouragement from someone else. I don't care how great, how famous or successful a man or woman may be, each hungers for applause.

Idiot

Never argue with an idiot, they drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.
