If you don"t go after what you want, you'll never have it.
If you don"t ask, the answer is always no.
If you don"t step forward, you"re always in the same place...

The Power of Encouragement

The eagle gently coaxed her offspring toward the edge of the nest.

Her heart quivered with conflicting emotions as she felt their resistance to her persistent nudging.

Why does the "thrill of soaring" have to begin with the "fear of falling?" she thought.

This ageless question was still unanswered for her.

As in the tradition of the species, her nest was located high upon the shelf of a sheer rock face.

Below there was nothing but air to support the wings of each child.

"Is it possible that this time it will not work?" she thought.

Despite her fears, the eagle knew it was time. Her parental mission was all but complete.

There remained one final task...
THE PUSH.
The eagle drew courage from
an innate wisdom.Until her children discovered their wings,there was no purpose for their lives.

Until they learned how to soar,they would fail
to understand the privilege it was to have
been born an eagle.
THE PUSH
was the greatest gift
she had to offer.It was her supreme act of love.
And so, one by one she PUSHED them ...
AND THEY FLEW


THE PUSH
SOMETIMES WE NEED IT
SOMETIMES WE NEED TO GIVE IT


It can be the greatest gift you ever give
it will change a life forever.

Courage

"Courage is more exhilarating than fear and in the long run it is easier. We
do not have to become heroes overnight. Just a step at a time, meeting each
thing that comes up, seeing it is not as dreadful as it appeared,
discovering we have the strength to stare it down."
~ Eleanor Roosevelt

பொறுமை

பொறுமையாய் இருந்தால் தண்ணீரை கூட
சல்லடையில் அள்ளலாம்- அது பனிக்கட்டி
ஆகும்வரை பொறுத்திருந்தால்!!

வாழ்க்கை !!!

நேர் கொண்ட நதியில் அழகொன்றும் இல்லை
வளைகின்ற நதியில் அழகதிகம்!!!
வாழ்கையும் கூட வளைகின்ற நதிதான்,
திருப்பத்தில் தானே ருசி அதிகம்
உந்தன் பின்னால் எந்த வாழ்கையும் வருவதில்லை
வாழ்வின் பின்னால் நீ செல்வதில் தொல்லை இல்லை
எந்தன் வாழ்வோடு நான் செல்ல வாதம் இல்லை...

Weather Report by BJ Gallagher

"Any day I'm vertical
is a good day"
...that's what I always say.
And I give thanks for my health.

If you ask me,
"How are you?"
I'll answer, "Great!"
because in saying so,
I make it so.
And I give thanks I can
choose my attitude.

When Life gives me dark
clouds and rain,
I appreciate the moisture
that brings a soft
curl to my hair.

When Life gives me sunshine,
I gratefully turn my face up
to feel its warmth on my cheeks.

When Life brings fog,
I hug my sweater around me
and give thanks for the cool
shroud of mystery that
makes the familiar seem
different and intriguing.

When Life brings snow,
I dash outside to catch
the first flakes on my
tongue, relishing the
icy miracle that is
a snowflake.

Life's events and
experiences are like
the weather ___
they come and go,
no matter what my
preference.

So, what the Heck?!
I might as well decide
to enjoy them.
For indeed,
there IS a time for every
purpose under Heaven.

Each season brings its
own unique blessings....
... AND I GIVE THANKS!!!

கடவுளுடன் ஒரு உரையாடல்

Very Intresting

God : Hello. Did you call me?
Me: Called you? No.. who is this?
God : This is GOD. I heard your prayers. So I thought I will chat.
Me: I do pray. Just makes me feel good. I am actually busy now. I am in the midst of something.
God : What are you busy at? Ants are busy too.
Me: Don’t know. But I cant find free time. Life has become hectic. It’s rush hour all the time.
God : Sure. Activity gets you busy. But productivity gets you results. Activity consumes time. Productivity frees it.
Me: I understand. But I still can’t figure out. By the way, I was not expecting YOU to buzz me on instant messaging chat.
God : Well I wanted to resolve your! fight for time, by giving you some clarity. In this net era, I wanted to reach you through the medium you are comfortable with.
Me: Tell me, why has life become complicated now?
.
.
.
.

.


.
God : Stop analyzing life. Just live it. Analysis is what makes it complicated.
Me: why are we then constantly unhappy?
God : Your today is the tomorrow that you worried about yesterday.You are worrying because you are analyzing. Worrying has become your habit. That’s why you are not happy.
Me: But how can we not worry when there is so much uncertainty?
God : Uncertainty is inevitable, but worrying is optional.
Me: But then, there is so much pain due to uncertainty. .
God : Pain is inevitable able, but suffering is optional.
Me: If suffering is optional, why do good people always suffer?
God : Diamond cannot be polished without friction. Gold cannot be purified without fire. Good people go through trials, but don’t suffer. With that experience their life become better not bitter.
Me: You mean to say such experience is useful?
God : Yes. In every terms, Experience is a hard teacher. She gives the test first and the lessons afterwards.
Me: But still, why should we go through such tests? Why cant we be free from problems?
God : Problems are Purposeful Roadblocks Offering Beneficial Lessons (to) Enhance Mental Strength. Inner strength comes from struggle and endurance, not when you! are free from problems.
Me: Frankly in the midst of so many problems, we don’t know where we are heading..
God : If you look outside you will not know where you are heading.Look inside. Looking outside, you dream. Looking inside, you awaken. Eyes provide sight. Heart provides insight.
Me: Sometimes not succeeding fast seems to hurt more than moving in the right direction. What should I do?
God : Success is a measure as decided by others. Satisfaction is a measure as decided by you. Knowing the road ahead is more satisfying than knowing you rode ahead. You work with the compass. Let others work with the clock.
Me: In tough times, how do you stay motivated?
God : Always look at how far you have come rather than how far you have to go. Always count your blessing, not what you are missing.
Me: What surprises you about people?
God : when they suffer they ask, “why me?” When they prosper, they never ask “Why me” Everyone wishes to have truth on their side, but few want to be on the side of the truth.
Me: Sometimes I ask, who am I, why am I here. I cant get the answer.
God : Seek not to find who you are, but to determine who you want to be. Stop looking for a purpose as to why you are here. Create it. Life is not a process of discovery but a process of creation.
Me: How can I get the best out of life?
God : Face your past without regret. Handle your present with confidence. Prepare for the future without fear.
Me: One last question. Sometimes I feel my prayers are not answered.
God : There are no unanswered prayers. At times the answer is NO.
Me: Thank you for this wonderful chat.
God : Well. Keep the faith and drop the fear. Don’t believe your doubts and doubt your beliefs. Life is a mystery to solve not a problem to resolve. Trust me. Life is wonderful if you know how to live. “Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take but by the moments that took our breath away!
