Sanctuary for all!

There should be a sanctuary for all. That is very difficult to create because once one is created a new variable comes into existence. So everyone has to be open to new ideas and new attributes of being all the time.

It is impossible to account for the full spectrum of reality because reality itself is always growing. In fact reality totally changed after I wrote this passage and will never be the same.

This is a place that cherishes all unique talents as well as nurtures them. This is a home for all society rejects as well as natural abnormalities.

Journey

The journey of life is the important part; the destination has very little importance. Pay attention to the road you are on, stop as much as you want and never get drawn back. It is ok to look back, just do not go back.

Control

The more control we want to acquire, the more out of control we become. People who seek to control everything are usually the most out of control themselves. Reversely, people who do not seek to control are in the most control of themselves and their environment.

Rehearsal

Every day you are acting. When you act you live every day. The fact that we survive all our scenes in life is to our credit.

Acting is a part of everyday life. Life, besides being a play, has the characteristics of a game. It has a ton of obstacles we all have to accomplish.

Unlike a play, you don’t have rehearsal in life. Once you have something complete it is complete.

The Lottery

The school system should work for all. Bronx schools have a tough road ahead, but it is possible to succeed.

The students failure is the schools failure. If the students should all have the option to go to good schools that will teach them correctly and to their satisfaction. It doesn't matter the economic level of their parents, the school status should be successful to the students as well as the community.

All schools need to produce great students or they are not doing their job to the community as well as the country. Knowledge is the key to a successful person as well as community. Everything is possible within the school systems if they give a good education.
Flexibility is mandatory to education. We need to be able to train teachers all over the country. All students deserve to be well educated and the school system should able to teach them all, the way they want to be taught.
Schools goal should be for each individual student to be a graduate of the highest level they can acheive. Atmosphere is mandatory of children learnings. Education of that pupil is mandatory to accomplish their dreams of life.

Life is…

Your thoughts don't exist in isolation, they affect the world. Every thought creates vibrations. Vibrations ripple out into the universe. Send your thoughts and vibrations to: a crisis somewhere in the world; someone you know who's in difficulty, experiencing illness or pain.

Are you living in the present moment?

Jeanette M. Pintar

We always hear people talking about living in the present moment. But what does that really mean?



Obviously we’re all here right now in this moment. But are we fully here? Or are our thoughts drifting to what the boss said, when we have to meet our friend or pick up the kids, the chores that need to be done, and how lousy the day was?

Life is a beautiful and precious thing. Each of us was created in love to give love and receive love.

Yet we often feel very alone and un-loved. Perhaps this is because we block out the love which is meant

to flow through us with our distracting thoughts. Because we’re so focused on everything else we don’t allow

ourselves to see and experience the love directed toward us. If we can allow ourselves to focus on those we’re connecting

with and bring an attitude of openness and love to the experience,

we become present in the moment.

We heighten our awareness of the positive energy, love and sense

of connection we have with those we care for.

Perhaps that’s really what being present in the moment is about?

Sometimes in life ...

Sometimes in life ...




It is better to make a complete fool of yourself and humilate yourself

so that you can FINALLY force yourself to live your life.



Sometimes in life ...



You get so angry at the responsibilities that you've taken on or have

been thrown onto you that you forget about your own dreams and hopes.



Sometimes in life ...



You help your loved ones until you reach a point that you forget to

help yourself.



Sometimes in life ...



You realize that the best thing that ever happened to you was a

complete and total burn out.



Sometimes in life ...



You finally put yourself first and put your plans into motion, and

suddenly everything starts falling into place.



Sometimes in life ...



Embarrassement and humiliation are God's why of telling you ... "Shut

up already and do everything I sent you do to with your life."



Sometimes in life ...



You have to say, "I've done all I can to help you, now it's time for

me to help myself."



Sometimes in life ... and more often then not ... you have to STOP and

thank the people you actually FORCED you to stop doing for others and

start doing for yourself.



so ... THANK YOU, for making fun of me, embarrassing me, humiliating

me, kicking me when I was down ... but most of all ...



THANK YOU FOR WAKING ME UP!

I know whats wrong with me ... and it's very fixable.

I forgot to live my life, but it isn't to late and I'm

starting to live it!



Thank you for kicking me in the arse!

``` Inspirational Story: What Life is all About ? ```

A Long time ago, there was an Emperor who told his horseman that if he could ride on his horse and cover as much land area as he likes, then the Emperor would give him

the area of land he has covered.



Sure enough, the horseman quickly jumped onto his horse and rode as fast as possible to cover as much land area as he could. He kept on riding and riding, whipping the horse to go as fast as possible.



When he was hungry,thirsty or tired, he did not stop because he wanted to cover as much area as possible. Came to a point when he had covered a substantial area and he was exhausted and was dying. Then he asked himself, "Why did I pushed myself so hard to cover so much land area? Now I am dying and I only need a very small area to bury myself."



The above story is similar with the journey of our Life. We push very hard everyday tomake more money, to gain power and recognition. We neglect our health, time with our family and to appreciate the surrounding beauty and the hobbies we love to do. One day when we look back, we will realize that we don't really need that much, but then we cannot turn back time for what we have missed. Life is not about making money, acquiring power or recognition. Life is definitely not about work! Work is only necessary to keep us living so as to enjoy the beauty and pleasures of life.



Lessons to Learn from The Story:





Life is a balance of Work and Play, Family and Personal time. You have to decide how you want to balance your Life. Define your priorities, realize what you are able to compromise but always let some of your decisions be based on your instincts.



Happiness is the meaning and the purposeof Life, the whole aim of human existence. So, take it easy, do what you want to do and appreciate nature. Life is fragile, Life is short. Do not take Life for granted. Live a balance lifestyle and enjoy Life!

Masks

-Unknown Author

Don't be fooled by the face I wear, for I wear a thousand masks, And none of them are me. Don't be fooled, for goodness sake, don't be fooled.





I give you the impression that I'm secure, that confidence is my name and coolness is my game, And that I need no one. But don't believe me. Beneath dwells the real me in confusion, in aloneness, in fear. That's why I create a mask to hide behind, to shield me from the glance that knows.



But such a glance is precisely my salvation. That is, if it's followed by acceptance, if it's followed by love. It's the only thing that can liberate me from my own self-built prison walls. I'm afraid that deep down I'm nothing and that I'm just no good, And that you will reject me.



And so begins the parade of masks. I idly chatter to you. I tell you everything that's really nothing and nothing of what's everything, of what's crying within me. Please listen carefully and try to hear what I'm not saying. I'd really like to be genuine and spontaneous, and me. But you've got to help me. You've got to hold out your hand.



Each time you're kind and gentle, and encouraging, Each time you try to understand because you really care, my heart begins to grow wings, feeble wings, but wings. With your sensitivity and sympathy, and your power of understanding, you alone can release me from my shallow world of uncertainty.



It will not be easy for you. The nearer you approach me, the blinder I may strike back. But I'm told that Love is stronger than strong walls, And in this lies my only hope. Please try to beat down these walls with firm hands, but gentle hands, for a child is very sensitive.



Who am I, you wonder...



I am every man you meet. I am every woman that you meet.



And I am also you.

Struggle of Life

In the struggle of proving life, you may find yourself living a life you never expected. Life is the journey for the goals you are searching for. Life can be characterized as an endless voyage. That is to say that the destination has not been set.
In recognition of life, you may find more life, if you dig deeper. For example, a virus is one of the smaller life forms. This may not be accurate. Even viron have atoms that make it up. So life has tremendously smaller levels then can ever be imaginable.

Life, as well, is much larger then we can foresee. There has to be more to life then is humanly known, granted our knowledge of life exceeds most other life forms, but there simply has to be more out there. The universe is way too big for us to only be the intelligence of the known universe.

There simply has to be a greater existence that is undiscovered by us, maybe faith and science have to come together more.

Ten Little Tips to Feel Happier Right Now

Ten Little Tips to Feel Happier Right Now

Roads

The wise road is not always the smoothest road. However it will not be seen if there is no bumpy road to contrast it. You need to go through tragedies in order to see and appreciate victories. If there was not any death, life would not be very precious at all. Beauty can’t exist without ugliness.


Road throughout life lead us different ways. Each of us are trying to go someplace we think that is a different place. We all have to join our efforts throughout all life to arrive where and when we want.

Library of Life

Life is a Library of event. Every person has a book which begins when they are born. Every day is another chapter at least. Some days are even more chapters.

Each library is for a whole family. They are connected as families are connected in different wings. Sometimes ideas encompass generations. These have books upon books written on them. So you see life is a script being made by every adventure created.

Manage

Life is how you manage your adventures you find yourself in. Stay as true as you possibly can to yourself as well as make yourself happy by making others happy. This is going to help you live your life better as you feel better.




We all have an exuberant amount of choices to make now as well as every moment within the adventure. The adventure will be as fun or stale as we make it. One part of managing your life is dealing with your priorities. They are the weight we juggle throughout our lives.



Priorities change throughout our life. They are constantly in a state where they are fluctuate. The best way to possibly deal with whatever life challenges us with is to make sure you try to harmoniously act.

Voyage of Life

In the voyage of life, you have to balance three important aspecs of your life: Work, Play, and Sleep. The work aspect of your life has to be taken seriously as you are in a position of compensation for a particular job. The play aspect of your life has to be adventurous as you are in a position of discovery for a particular game. The sleep aspect of your life has to be carefree as a child as you are in a position of freedom for a particular rest. You cannot choose how people will react to those choices you make during these three aspects of your life. Others have the freedom to choose their interactions with you as well in any and all of these aspects that create our voyage of life.

All Actors

The world is a stage and we are all actors. Each actor plays a unique part in our own life production. Since this is our own life production, we are responsible for our own actions. This responsibility means doing the right thing no matter what the cost may be to our lives as long as what we do has a justifiable reason. So it is in acting, so it is in life! We all have our own role to play in making the world a better place as actors have their role in making the stage a better production. Actors and actresses have a better audience when they are acting the part and so when the audience watches, it is like they are doing it naturally. We all are natural and that makes the world a better place.
