Your Children by Kahlil Gibran

This quote I heard a long time ago as a song sung by the group, Sweet Honey in the Rock. I LOVED it then. Still do now. The video is Sweet Honey in the Rock singing. Hope you like it too.
 


Your children are not your children,
they are the sons and daughters of life's longing for itself.

They come through you but not from you.
And though they are with you yet they belong not to you.

You may give them your love but not your thoughts,
for they have their own thoughts.

You may house their bodies but not their soul,
for their soul belongs in the house of tomorrow,
which you cannot visit not even in your dreams.

You may strive to be like them but seek not to make them like you.
For life goes not backward nor tarries with yesterday.

You are the bows from which your children as living arrows are sent forth. The archer sees the mark upon the path of the infinite and he bends you with his might that his arrows may go swift and far.

Let your bending in the Archer's hand be for gladness,
for even as he loves the arrow that flies,
so he loves also the bow that is stable.

- Kahlil Gibran (1884-1931)

Find Greater Happiness

 "To be kind, honest and have positive thoughts; to forgive those that harm us and treat everyone as a friend; to help those who are suffering and never to consider ourselves superior to anyone else; even if this advice seems rather simplistic, make the effort of seeing whether by following it you can find greater happiness."

- Dalai Lama XIV

Who We Are

 What we can or cannot do, what we consider possible or impossible, is rarely a function of our true capacity.  It is more likely a function of our beliefs about who we are.

Life is... by Mother Teresa

 “Life is an opportunity, benefit from it.
Life is beauty, admire it.
Life is a dream, realize it.
Life is a challenge, meet it.
Life is a duty, complete it.
Life is a game, play it.
Life is a promise, fulfill it.
Life is sorrow, overcome it.
Life is a song, sing it.
Life is a struggle, accept it.
Life is a tragedy, confront it.
Life is an adventure, dare it.
Life is luck, make it.
Life is too precious, do not destroy it.
Life is life, fight for it.”

Quote by Mother Teresa

10 Life Changing Tips Inspired By Deepak Chopra

1. Let Go
“Every time you are tempted to react in the same old way, ask if you want to be a prisoner of the past or a pioneer of the future.”

2. Nothing Is Impossible
“You must find the place inside yourself where nothing is impossible.”

3. Embrace the Unknown.
“Even when you think you have your life all mapped out, things happen that shape your destiny in ways you might never have imagined.”

4. Go with the Flow
“Don’t try to steer the river.”

5. Embrace Stillness
“In the midst of movement and chaos, keep stillness inside of you.”

6. Live a Conscious Life
“The way you think, the way you behave, the way you eat, can influence your life by 30 to 50 years.”

7. Find Your Purpose
“There are no extra pieces in the universe. Everyone is here because he or she has a place to fill, and every piece must fit itself into the big jigsaw puzzle.”

8. Let Go of Your Ego
“If you want to reach a state of bliss, then go beyond your ego and the internal dialogue. Make a decision to relinquish the need to control, the need to be approved, and the need to judge. Those are the three things the ego is doing all the time. ”

9. Embrace Your Current Relationships
“Whatever relationships you have attracted in your life at this moment, are precisely the ones you need in your life at this moment. There is a hidden meaning behind all events, and this hidden meaning is serving your own evolution.”

10. Be Open To All Possibilities
“Even when you think you have your life all mapped out, things happen that shape your destiny in ways you might never have imagined.”

Find a place within yourself, where nothing is impossible.
~ Deepak Chopra

Firstly...Love Yourselves

 

Firstly...love yourselves! You were made from love and WITH love When you can love who you are, you have more than enough love to give to others. Share it with every being you meet, every animal that crosses your path and every living thing. What you give is what you get... and everybody wants a little love, right?
