11 WONDERFUL THINGS IN LIFE

It hurts to love someone and not be loved in return, But what is more painful is to love someone and never find the courage to let that person know how you feel.
A sad thing in life is when you meet someone who means a lot to you, only to find out in the end that it was never meant to be and you just have to let go.
The best kind of friend is the kind you can sit on a porch swing with, never say a word, and then walk away feeling like it was the best conversation youve ever had.
Its true that we dont know what weve got until we lose it, but its also true that we dont know what weve been missing until it arrives.
It takes only a minute to get a crush on someone, an hour to like someone, and a day to love someone-but it takes a lifetime to forget someone.
Dont go for looks; they can deceive. Dont go for wealth; even that fades away. Go for someone who makes you smile because it takes only a smile to make a dark day seem bright.
Dream what you want to dream; go where you want to go; be what you want to be, because you have only one life and one chance to do all the things you want to do.
Always put yourself in the others shoes. If you feel that it hurts you, it probably hurts the person too.
A careless word may kindle strife; a cruel word may wreck a life; a timely word may level stress; a loving word may heal and bless.
The happiest of people dont necessarily have the best of everything, they just make the most of everything that comes along their way.
Love begins with a smile, grows with a kiss, ends with a tear. When you were born, you were crying and everyone around you was smiling. Live your life so that when you die, youre the one smiling and everyone around you is crying.

to change your life change your beliefs

I was exhilarated by the new realization that I could change the character of my life by changing my beliefs. I was instantly energized because I realized that there was a science-based path that would take me from my job as a perennial “victim” to my new position as “co-creator” of my destiny.

-Bruce H. Lipton

Commentary by Sudhir Krishnan

Beliefs are a powerful mechanism by which our subconscious mind gets programmed. Whatever our beliefs, our mind strives to prove to us that it is true. We get back what we believe about the world, as the universe has no choice but to offer situations that match our beliefs. Thus the best way to create better experiences is to take away all limiting beliefs that we have formed about ourselves and replace them by positive beliefs.

Elephants in captivity are trained from an early age not to roam around beyond a restricted area. One leg of a baby elephant is tied with a rope to a wooden post planted in the ground. The rope confines the baby elephant to an area determined by the length of the rope. Initially the baby elephant tries to break free from the rope, but the rope is too strong. The baby elephant "learns" that it cant break the rope. When the elephant grows up and is strong, it could easily break the same rope. However since it learned that it couldnt break the rope when it was young, the adult elephant believes that it still cant break the rope, so it doesnt even try. This is how we limit ourselves with our beliefs throughout our life. The only limitations we have are the ones we impose on ourselves.

Examples of some limiting beliefs:

This article is good, but very difficult to apply in real life. Almost every post attracts a few of these responses! :-)
Meditation is difficult and does not work for me.
I am to too old to be able to learn that now.
I am too young to learn about spirituality now.
I am not good enough for the task.
I am good, but this world does not favor good people.
My wishes never come true.

Examples of some of my beliefs:

I am loved. There is no lack of love in my life.
Everybody I meet is beautiful, wonderful and full of love.
Everybody I encounter is helping me on my path - they are out there for me as I am for them.
Everybody I interact with is God in human form giving me the exact experience I asked for - good or bad. If its not something I like, then there is something I need to learn that I have not yet learnt.
Everybody around is conspiring to make me successful. Jack Canfield calls this "Being an Inverse paranoid”.
Everything I need is within me - there is nothing I lack. I attract the right people, things and situations in order to experience life the way I am here to experience.
