Life
In life, there are moments when you miss someone so much that you feel like you could only fulfill your dreams by holding that person tight in your arms.
When the door of happiness is closed, another opens; but many of us continue only to look at the closed door. As a result, we often fail to see the new door with its new opportunities.
Do not trust appearances; they are often false.
Do not interest yourself only in wealth; it may disappear.
Seek someone who communicates with you in laughter, for laughter can turn a sad day into a joyful one.
Dream whatever you desire to dream.
Go wherever you wish.
Seek whatever you desire.
Because life is unique and is dependent on how you shape it.
The lucky ones do not always have the best.
Often, they seek simply the best of what they see on their journey.
Your future happiness may well depend on your ability to leae the past behind.
Live life to its fullest, and be positive always ... in spite of difficult times.
The Interview With God
I dreamed I had an interview with God.
"So you would like to interview me?" God asked.
"If you have the time," I said.
God smiled.
"My time is eternity...what questions do you have in mind for me?"
"What surprises you most about humankind?"
God answered...
"That they get bored with childhood, they rush to grow up, and then long to be children again."
"That they lose their health to make money... and then lose their money to restore their health."
"That by thinking anxiously about the future, they forget the present, such that they live in neither the present nor the future."
"That they live as if they will never die, and die as though they had never lived."
God's hand took mine and we were silent for a while.
And then I asked, "As a parent what are some of life's lessons you want your children to learn?"
"To learn they cannot make anyone love them. All they can do is let themselves be loved."
"To learn that it is not good to compare themselves to others."
"To learn to forgive by practicing forgieness. "
"To learn that it only takes a few seconds to open profound wounds in those they love, and it can take many years to heal them."
"To learn that a rich person is not one who has the most, but is one who needs the least."
"To learn that there are people who love them dearly, but simply do not yet know how to express or show their feelings."
"To learn that two people can look at the same thing and see it differently."
"To learn that it is not enough that they forgive one another, but they must also forgive themseles."
"Thank you for your time, " I said humbly. "Is there anything else you'd like your children to know?"
God smiled and said ...
"Just know that I am here. Always."
