A car ahead was moving like a turtle and not giving Adam way inspite of his continuous honking. Adam was on the brink of losing his cool when he noticed the small sticker on the car’s rear. It was written “Physically Challenged, please be patient.” And that changed everything for Adam.
He immediately went calm and slowed down. In fact, he got a little protective of the car and the driver. Adam reached home a few minutes late, but it was okay for him and then it struck him, “would he have been patient if there was no sticker? Why do we need stickers to be patient with people?” He again pondered and said to himself, “will we be more patient and kinder with others if people had labels pasted on their foreheads. Labels like, “lost my job,” “Fighting cancer,” “Going thru a bad divorce”, “Suffering emotional abuse”, “Lost a loved one”, “feeling worthless”, “Financially broken”, and many more like these”.
Everyone is fighting a battle we know nothing about. The least we can do is to be patient, kind and compassionate. Let us respect the Invisible Labels knowing that each is carrying multiples ones with them.
That is why they say “Walk gently into others lives, care and give love to whomsoever you meet in your life because all wounds are not always visible.” Life is an Endless Process of Self Discovery. A person who’s happy will always make others happy too.
Listen to silence. Sit in silence. Silent is He who speaks few words in his silence. It has so much to say. Silence is golden.
A finger that wipes away your tears during hard times is greater than the thousand hands that clapped for your success. Trust the process, knowing that every challenge you face is shaping you into the person you are meant to become.
A negative mind will find fault in everything and a positive mind will find opportunity in everything. Every positive thought is a silent prayer that will change your life.
Someone asked me, “Who hurt you the most?” I replied, “My own Expectations”. Learn to accept things the way they are.
Ego is not important in life but self-respect is the most important in life. Spend more time with Yourself, you will love who you are.
When you get what you want, that’s God’s direction, when you do not get what you want, that is God’s protection. Trust and have utmost faith in Him who is by your side.
You always get what you believe in, so never stop believing in good things. Let your Faith be bigger than your fears.
Life is a beautiful gift, never forget to enjoy and bask in every moment you are in. Live your life in a pleasant and cheerful way and forget your age.
Happiness comes from What we do. Fulfillment comes from Why we do it. Feel free and do what makes your Soul Shine.……..
Life is short. Make it sweet and beautiful. Spend it with people who make you laugh and feel loved. Happiness is only real when shared with others.
Health and good friends are two things that becomes more valuable the older we get.
Friendship needs no promises, no demands and no expectations it just needs sincerity and trust.
For one-minute walk outside, stand in silence, look up at the blue sky and contemplate how amazing life is.Take chances and believe in yourself.
Sometimes talking with a friend is the only therapy you need. An honest friend is a precious gift.
Every smile, every loving word, every kind act, every sweet hug is a reflection of the beauty of your Soul. Be with someone who always wants to know how your day was, how loved you are.
Happy is that person who knows what to remember of the past, what to enjoy in the present and what to plan for the future as life is too short to worry over anything.
Today is a gift, that’s why it’s called the present moment. Let’s make the most of every moment and spread joy wherever we go.
