A husband wakes up at home with a huge hangover.
He forces himself to open his eyes, and the first thing he sees
is a couple of aspirins and a glass of water on the side table.
He sits down and sees his clothing in front of him, all clean and
pressed. He looks around the room and sees that
it is in perfect order, spotless, clean. So is the rest of the house.
He takes the aspirins and notices a note on the table.
"Honey, breakfast is on the table, I left early to go grocery shopping.
Love You!"
Totally shocked with the note , he goes to the kitchen and
sure enough there is a hot breakfast and the morning newspaper.
His son is also at the table, eating. He asks, "Son, what happened last night?"
His son says, "Well, you came home around 3 AM, drunk and delirious.
Broke some crockery, puked in the hall, and gave yourself a black eye
when you stumbled into the door". Confused, the man asks,
"So, why is everything in order and so clean, and
breakfast is on the table waiting for me?
I should expect a big quarrel with her!"
His son replies, "Oh, that! Mom dragged you to the bedroom,
and when she tried to take your clothes n shoes off,
you said,
"LADY LEAVE ME ALONE! I'M MARRIED . . . !"
Moral
Self-induced hangover - $ 400.00
Broken crockery - $ 800.00
Breakfast - $ 10.00
Saying the Right Thing While Drunk – "PRICELESS "
There are truly some things that both money and Mastercard can't buy . . .

What you are most afraid of is where your greatest rewards are.
If all you had to do was wish for something and you would have it, life would be pretty boring, wouldn't it? God placed barriers between us and what we want, so we can enjoy interesting and satisfying lives. God hid our biggest rewards behind the highest barriers - our deepest fears. God wants us to face our fears, and hold ground in their presence, and let them go, and that's how we get out biggest rewards. What are you most afraid of? Say it, just start by saying it.
What is love?
Everybody wants to love and to be loved. The whole of human behavior and existence has risen up around this simple premise. But before we can discuss love, we have to answer the basic question What is love?
You might fondly recall your first infatuation with a movie star, the local sports hero, a supermodel, a cheerleader, or the neighborhood hunk. You learned to cherish from afar. You adored those qualities that delighted your imagination and sparked your desire: slender or muscular, blonde or brunette, heroic or sensitive, comical or serious. You dreamt that he or she was your lover, imagining magical first encounters and intimate moments. Such thoughts swept you off your feet in those formative years. It might’ve been a wonderful feeling, but it wasn’t love. It was infatuation.
As you grew, you began to sense the existence of a more physical form of passion. Think about your first passionate kiss and the excitement you felt when a lover held you close. Those shivers of arousal may have been incredible, but again, that wasn’t love. Those were feelings of lust.
If things got serious, you might’ve wondered how you ever lived before this person entered your life, and you probably believed that you could never be happy without him or her. This sensation has inspired poets, started wars, and built empires. But this isn’t love either. It’s dependency.
You may also have experienced a sense of pride at being seen with your love, and an instant dislike for anyone who could possibly come between you. That’s possessiveness, which rarely exists alone- jealousy, the destructive stepchild of possessiveness, accompanies it wherever it appears.
There’s nothing wrong with infatuation, lust or even, at times, a modicum of dependency and possessiveness. In fact, these are all components of virtually every relationship, their importance shifting from time to time when two people are together long enough. They shouldn’t, however, be mistaken for love.
So what is love? Love is a commitment you make to trust, respect, admire, and care for youself or another person. This commitment can be the result of a conscious decision or of a subconscious act, but it’s a commitment nonetheless. This may not sound particularly romantic at first, but it is. Love’s power is greater than any individual, yet it exists within all of us. Real love begins when you first recognize your own worth. It grows when you realize you’ve got something to give. It fortifies itself when you find someone with whom you wish to share your love. And finally, it blossoms when someone loves you in return.
However, love isn’t always forever. It’s a commitment, and “commitment” is just another word for choice. Precious few people make a choice and stick to it without question for life. We have enough trouble committing to what we want on our pizza. We need to realize from the start that even if a relationship lasts the rest of our lives, we’ll find ourselves making the choice to maintain the union over and over again. And any relationship can crash to an abrupt end if, just one time, you (or the other person) waver in your commitment. To endure, even true love requires true effort.

How often do you let other people's nonsense change your mood?
Do you let a bad driver, rude waiter, curt boss, or an insensitive employee ruin your day? However, the mark of a successful person is how quickly one can get back their focus on what's important. David J. Pollay explains his story in this way….
Sixteen years ago I learned this lesson. I learned it in the back of a New York City taxi cab. Here's what happened. I hopped in a taxi, and we took off for Grand Central Station. We were driving in the right lane when, all of a sudden, a black car jumped out of a parking space right in front of us. My taxi driver slammed on his breaks, skidded, and missed the other car's back end by just inches!
The driver of the other car, the guy who almost caused a big accident, whipped his head around and he started yelling bad words at us. My taxi driver just smiled and waved at the guy. And I mean…he was friendly. So, I said, "Why did you just do that? This guy almost ruined your car and sent us to the hospital!"
And this is when my taxi driver told me what I now call, "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 need a place to dump it. And if you let them, they'll dump it on you. When someone wants to dump on you, don't take it personally.. You just smile, wave, wish them well, and move on. You'll be happy you did."
I started thinking, how often do I let Garbage Trucks run right over me? And how often do I take their garbage and spread it to other people: at work, at home, on the streets? It was that day I said, "I'm not going to do it anymore."
Life's too short to wake up in the morning with regrets. Love the people who treat you right. Forget about the ones who don't. Believe that everything happens for a reason. Never let the garbage truck run over you….

To take a chance..
Try something new…
See things in a different way
And as it's through,
We learn to change and grow
To explore who we are and what we know
For it's not until we try... That we find out – WHAT WE CAN DO…
So don't wait until tomorrow
To discover something new!!!
To take a chance..
Try something new…

You are beautiful...when you let friends have their space, when you believe, when you laugh, or are moved to tears, when you let it just roll right off your back, when you talk about your dreams, when you help a turtle across the road, when you try to do the right thing even when it comes out wrong, when you love.
Its friendship.......
When a person calls you by a stupid name and never by your own name.....
When they always get angry, whenever you tell them that you are busy and can't reply...
When they tell you everything about themselves even if its embarrassing...
When they come to see you, whenever they get a chance....
When you argues with each other on stupid things and then end up laughing....
Celebrate with your friends......

Take time
Take time to think-
It is the source of power.
Take time to read-
It is the foundation of wisdom.
Take time to play-
It is the secret of staying young.
Take time to be quiet-
It is the moment to seek God.
Take time to be aware-
It is the opportunity to help others.
Take time to love and be loved-
It is God's greatest gift.
Take time to laugh-
It is the music of the soul.
Take time to be friendly-
It is the road to happiness.
Take time to dream-
It is what the future is made of.
Take time to pray-
It is the greatest power on earth.
The clock of life is wound but once,
And no man has the power
To tell just when the hands will stop
At late or early hour.
To lose one's wealth is sad indeed,
To lose one's health is more,
To lose one's soul is such a loss
That no man can restore.
The present only is our own,
So live, love, toil with a will,
Place no faith in "Tomorrow,"
For the Clock may then be still.
And no man has the power
To tell just when the hands will stop
At late or early hour.
To lose one's wealth is sad indeed,
To lose one's health is more,
To lose one's soul is such a loss

The present only is our own,
So live, love, toil with a will,
Place no faith in "Tomorrow,"
For the Clock may then be still.
God is beside everyone including those who believe in him or not.He is in our faith which makes him present in temples or in and around us. One shouldnt be god fearing b'coz hes not there to punish us b'coz he has already made the system of karma to give fruits to our deeds. However he is like a friend whom u will always find beside u in joy n sorrow. And always remember that' GOD HAS NOT CREATED BAD OR EVIL, ITS OUR THOUGHTS AND WORDS THAT MAKES THINGS BAD FOR US AND OTHERS.'
Some times the smallest of gestures go right to ur heart!
A smile from a stranger when u r lost in a crowd,
An old friend calling u from a distant land just to say ' I miss u',
The touch of ur mother's hand on ur brow when u r unable to sleep,
A msg from a friend asking 'What's wrong with u?' , when u thought no one could notice,
And a hand on ur shoulder when it feels that the world is against u,
An unexpected hug,
Some times it is the tiniest of things that bring a smile in hard times!!!!!!!!

Little Candle
Once upon a time a little candle stood in a room filled with other candles, most of them much larger and much more beautiful than she was. Some were ornate and some were rather simple, like herself. Some were white, some were blue, some were pink, some were green. She had no idea why she was there, and the other candles made her feel rather small and insignificant.
When the sun went down and the room began to get dark, she noticed a large man walking toward her with a ball of fire on a stick. She suddenly realized that the man was going to set her on fire. No, no!! she cried, Aaaaagghhh! Don't burn me, please! But she knew that she could not be heard and prepared for the pain that
would surely follow.
To her surprise, the room filled with light. She wondered where it came from since the man had extinguished his fire stick. To her delight, she realized that the light came from herself.
Then the man struck another fire stick and, one by one, lit the other candles in the room. Each one gave out the same light that she did.
During the next few hours, she noticed that, slowly, her wax began to flow. She became aware that she would soon die. With this realization came a sense of why she had been created. Perhaps my purpose on earth is to give out light until I die, she mused. And that's exactly what she did.
Lord created you and I to produce light in a dark world. Like that little candle, we all can produce the same amount of light, no matter how small we are or what color we might be. But we can't produce light until we receive it from an outside source. That source is Lord, the light of the world.

It doesn't matter what you do for a living.
I want to know what you ache for, and if you dare to dream of meeting your heart's longing. It doesn't interest me how old you are.
I want to know if you will risk looking like a fool for love, for dreams, for the adventure of being alive. It doesn't interest me what planets are squaring your moon.
I want to know if you have touched the centre of your own sorrow,
if you have been opened by life's betrayals or have become shrivelled and closed from fear of further pain!
I want to know if you can sit with pain, mine or your own,
without moving to hide it or fade it or fix it.
I want to know if you can be with joy,
mine or your own;
if you can dance with wildness and let the ecstasy fill you to the tips of your fingers and toes without cautioning us to be careful,
be realistic,
remember the limitations of being a human. It doesn't interest me if the story you are telling me is true.
I want to know if you can disappoint another to be true to yourself;
if you can bear the accusation of betrayal and not betray your own soul.
If you can be faithless and therefore trustworthy.
I want to know if you can see beauty even when it's not pretty every day.
And if you can source your life from its presence.
I want to know if you can live with failure,
yours and mine, and still stand on the edge of the lake and shout to the silver of the full moon,
'Yes!' It doesn't interest me to know where you live or how much money you have.
I want to know if you can get up after the night of grief and despair, weary and bruised to the bone, and do what needs to be done to feed the children. It doesn't interest me who you know, or how you came to be here.
I want to know if you will stand in the centre of the fire with me and not shrink back. It doesn't interest me where or what or with whom you have studied.
I want to know what sustains you from the inside, when all else falls away. I want to know if you can be alone with yourself;
and if you truly like the company you keep in the empty moments.
I want to know what you ache for, and if you dare to dream of meeting your heart's longing. It doesn't interest me how old you are.

Why people come into our lives?
People come into your life for a reason, a season or a lifetime. When you know which one it is, you will know what to do for that person.
When someone is in your life for a REASON, it is usually to meet a need you have expressed. They have come to assist you through a difficulty, to provide you with guidance and support, to aid you physically, emotionally or spiritually. They may seem like a godsend and they are. They are there for the reason you need them to be. Then, without any wrongdoing on your part or at an inconvenient time, this person will say or do something to bring the relationship to an end. Sometimes they die. Sometimes they walk away. Sometimes they act up and force you to take a stand. What we must realize is that our need has been met, our desire fulfilled, their work is done. The prayer you sent up has been answered and now it is time to move on.
Some people come into your life for a SEASON, because your turn has come to share, grow or learn. They bring you an experience of peace or make you laugh. They may teach you something you have never done. They usually give you an unbelievable amount of joy. Believe it, it is real . But only for a season.
LIFETIME relationships teach you lifetime lessons, things you must build upon in order to have a solid emotional foundation. Your job is to accept the lesson, love the person and put what you have learned to use in all other relationships and areas of your life.
It is said that love is blind but friendship is clairvoyant.

Yield to commitment. If you stay on track and remain dedicated, you'll find success at the end of the road.
Z--Zoom
Zoom to a happy place when bad memories or sorrow rears its ugly head. Let nothing interfere with your goals. Instead, focus on your abilities, your dreams, and a brighter tomorrow.
To laugh often love much;
To win the respect of intelligent people
And the affection of children;
To earn the approbation of honest critics
And endure the betrayal of false friends;
To appreciate beauty;
To find the best in others;
To give one’s self;
To leave the world a little better,
Whether by a healthy child,
A garden patch,
Or a redeemed social condition;
To have played and laughed with enthusiasm
And sung with exultation;
To know even one life has breathed easier
Because you have lived…
This is to have succeeded–Ralph Waldo Emerson
Response/Ability
The game we play
Is pretend
And pretend
We’re not
Pretending.
We choose to
Forget
Who we are
And then forget
That we’ve
Forgotten.
Who are we really?
The center
That watches
And runs the show
That can choose
Which way
It will go.
The I am
Consciousness
That powerful
Loving perfect
Reflection
Of the cosmos
But in our attempt
We cope with
Early situations
We chose or were
Hypnotized into
A passive position
To avoid
Punishment
Or the loss of love
We chose to deny
Our
Responsibility
Pretending that
Things just
Happened
Or that we were
Being controlled
Taken over.
We put ourselves
Down
And have become
Used to this
Masochistic
Posture
This weakness
This indecisiveness
But we are
In reality
Free
A center
Of cosmic energy
Your will
Is your power
Don’t pretend
You don’t have it
Or you won’t.

The good you find in others, is in you too.
The faults you find in others,
are your faults as well.
After all, to recognize something
you must know it.
