Life' journey

When one goes on a journey, one usually has a destination and when you get to that destination your journey ends.
But in life's journey, where is the destination? and when does the journey end?

The pleasure of life are usually found in the journey and not the destination, the joy, excitement, anger, pain and all the emotions you feel along the way makes the destination.

We should learn to appreciate the journey as we travel through life because their lies true fulfillment in life.

Learn to pick the diamond along the way

ACCEPT LIFE AND LIVE

The reason why most people are so afraid to live life to the fullest is the fear of lost. The fear of losing the one you gave your heart to, the fear of dying, the fear of losing that money in that investment. But come to think of it, in life you never loss, you only give away to be free – when you love someone with your whole heart you feel free and light, when you live life to the fullest way you can live it, you are ready to die- after all we all die.
I was reading a Stephen king novel- bags of bones, where he describe fear in the acronym FACE ALL AND RECOVER or FUCK EVERYTHING AND RUN
Those two acronyms suns up the two kind of people we have in this life, those who accept life and live and those who don’t.

The two sides

GOD, the devil
Head, tail
Good, bad
First, last
Hero, villain
Love, hate
Doer, critic
Encourage, discourage
Light, darkness
Gain, lost
Feelings, numbness
White, black
Here, there
Life, death
Celebrate, mourn
Live, die
Right, wrong
You are either one or the other

A year without rain

A year without rain

Living in the shadow of your dream
Waiting for sunrise in a place of no daylight

Waiting for love to return, to a city barricade by wall
Having faith in an unfathomable void of nothingness
Living each day with nothing to gain of loss

For the love of life is hope thereof and living without hope is like a year without rain

the attitide of the rich and poor nations

To reflect and . . .act
The difference between the poor countries and the rich countries is not the age of the country.
This can be shown by countries like India and Egypt that are more than 2000 years old and are poor.
On the other hand, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand that are 150 years old are inexpresive, today are developed countries and are rich.
The difference between poor and rich countries does not reside in the available natural resource.
Japan has limited territory, 80% mountainous inadequate for agriculture and cattle raising, but this is the second world economy. The country is like an immense floating factory, importing raw materials from the whole world and exporting manufactured products.
Another sample is Switzerland, which does not plant Cocoa but has the best chocolate of the world. In its territory, they raise animals and plant the soil during four months per year. That enough they produce dairy products of the best quality. It is a small country that transmit an image of security, order and labor which made it the world’s strong safe.
Executive from rich countries who communicate with their counterparts in poor countries show that there is no significance difference in intellect.
Face or skin color are also not important. Immigrants labeled lazy in their country of origin are the productive power in rich European countries.
What is the difference then?
The difference is the attitude of the people framed along the years by the education and the culture.
On analyzing the behavior of the people are rich and developed countries. We find that the great majority follows the principle in their life
1) Ethics as a basic principle
2) Integrity
3) Responsibility
4) Respect of the law and rulers
5) Respect of the rights of other citizen
6) Work loving
7) Strive for saving and investments
8) Will of super action
9) Punctuality
In poor countries only a minority follow these basic rules of life.
We are not poor because we lack attitude.
We lack the will to comply with and teach functional principle of the rich and developed societies.
If you love your country, let the message circulate for a major quantity of people and reflect about this and change. invite people to read this blog.

THE MOMENT

why fear this moment
when no thoughts come
at last I lie naked
in the arms of experience


why fear this moment
when no words come
at last I find rest
in the lap of silence


why fear this moment
when love finds itself alone
at last I am embraced
by infinity itself


why fear this moment
when judgment falls away
at last my defenses
fail to keep intimacy at bay


why fear this moment
when hope is lost
at last my foolish dreams
are surrendered to perfection

See the Trees

By William Lambert
I lived in Alabama on a half-acre lot blessed huge oak trees that were 40 feet in diameter. They were HUGE! The house was laid out such that every bedroom faced the backyard. Each bedroom had a large picture window. The view was breathtaking. I enjoyed just looking at the trees. In the fall I would identify a particular leaf that was falling and watched it for what seemed liked 5 minutes before it fell to earth.
One day I invited this married couple over to enjoy the view from the bedroom window. I took them into the bedroom and excitedly pointed to the trees out of the window and exclaimed, "just look"!
After about 20 seconds there was no comment from the couple. I however, noticed a big frown on the woman's face.
I said, "What's wrong". She was reluctant to reply.
I insisted and again said, "What's wrong?"
She relented and said, "Don't you see those fingerprints on the glass?"
I turned and looked and there were what seemed to be fifty or more fingerprints on the glass. I ran for the Windex to clean the glass. The lady "Oh, I didn't mean for you to clean it now."
The morale here is this. That lady never saw the trees. Even when I tried to point them out, She missed it! I didn't see the fingerprints. I was looking through the glass not at it.
When the fingerprints were pointed out to me, I saw them and removed them. The lady never saw the trees. She focused on the fingerprints and she never got passed them.
Life is much like that. There are things in life that are good and things that are bad. You choose which things you want to focus on. I focus on the trees.
What are you focusing on?
