It’s not about money that make us rich, it’s about simplicity of having God in our lives.

One day, a rich dad took his son on a trip. Wanted to show him how poor someone can be. They spent time on the farm of a poor family. On the way home, dad asked, “Did you see how poor they are? What did you learn?”.

Son said, “We have one dog, they have four, we have pool, they have rivers, we have lanterns at night, they have stars, we buy foods, they grow theirs, we have walls to protect us, they have friends, we have encyclopedias, they have Bible.” Then they headed, “Thanks dad for showing me how poor we are.”

MORAL LESSON: It’s not about money that make us rich, it’s about simplicity of having God in our lives.

training our minds for happiness

Jun 222011
 

When Don told me that ultimately your happiness was all in your head, a light bulb began to fl icker. The idea that I could, at any given moment, simply choose contentment and gratitude was radical and potentially life-changing. Don was not telling me that this was easy or that it would not require years of practice, only that it was achievable. What the wise ones were telling me to do was to practice a kind of sweet surrender to life. It was not the surrender of resignation, a mere begrudging acceptance of circumstances; what they were saying was that the power to fi nd happiness was within me, not without. They were telling me that if I practiced, I could choose contentment at any time.

Law of Marital Happiness in five parts

Law of Marital Happiness in five parts

MARRIAGE SHOULD TAKE PLACE ONLY BETWEEN THOSE WHOSE FIRST TYPE-ELEMENTS ARE SUFFICIENTLY SIMILAR FOR THEM TO ENJOY THE SAME GENERAL DIVERSIONS, YET WHOSE SECOND TYPE-ELEMENTS ARE SUFFICIENTLY DISSIMILAR TO MAKE EACH STRONG WHERE THE OTHER IS WEAK.
The application of the law to each of the five types will be explained in the following sections of this chapter.

Part One
THE ALIMENTIVE IN LOVE
Just as each type reacts differently to all the other situations in life, each reacts differently to love.
The Alimentive, as we have pointed out, is less mature than the other types, with the Thoracic next, and so on down to the Cerebral which is the most mature of all. Because the Alimentive has rightly been called “the baby of the race;” because no extremely fat person ever really grows up, this type prefers those love-expressions natural to the immature.

Arranging Your Life Away from the Job

Jun 132011
 

Your job should not be the whole of your life. You will perform even better if you
can relax with your family and enjoy hobbies and vacations.
Stress at work will sap your energy and tend to make you feel that you are under
continuously increasing pressure. As you are the person making the final decisions
on the number of layoffs and reduction of functions, there is the feeling of doom and
failure, despite the fact that you may be doing better than most similar entities.
No matter how efficient you are, work never seems to be completed and you are
always behind. Get used to it. Unless your administrative assistant is an exception
and knows how to say no to many people, your appointment schedule is full to
the brim every day. You may not even have time to think between meetings. You
drive or are driven home, always late and usually, particularly if you are in the back
seat in the car, making more calls on the mobile phone or sending text messages.
You come home and if you have had a bad day at the office, you are preoccupied,

The Four Wives

The Four Wives

There was a rich merchant who had 4 wives. He loved the 4th wife the most and adorned her with rich robes and treated her to delicacies. He took great care of her and gave her nothing but the best.
He also loved the 3rd wife very much. He’s very proud of her and always wanted to show off her to his friends. However, the merchant is always in great fear that she might run away with some other men.
He too, loved his 2nd wife. She is a very considerate person, always patient and in fact is the merchant’s confidante. Whenever the merchant faced some problems, he always turned to his 2nd wife and she would always help him out and tide him through difficult times.
Now, the merchant’s 1st wife is a very loyal partner and has made great contributions in maintaining his wealth and business as well as taking care of the household. However, the merchant did not love the first wife and although she loved him deeply, he hardly took notice of her.
One day, the merchant fell ill. Before long, he knew that he was going to die soon. He thought of his luxurious life and told himself, “Now I have 4 wives with me. But when I die, I’ll be alone. How lonely I’ll be!”
Thus, he asked the 4th wife, “I loved you most, endowed you with the finest clothing and showered great care over you. Now that I’m dying, will you follow me and keep me company?” “No way!” replied the 4th wife and she walked away without another word.
The answer cut like a sharp knife right into the merchant’s heart. The sad merchant then asked the 3rd wife, “I have loved you so much for all my life. Now that I’m dying, will you follow me and keep me company?” “No!” replied the 3rd wife. “Life is so good over here! I’m going to remarry when you die!” The merchant’s heart sank and turned cold.

Look Within

A man feared his wife wasn’t hearing well as she used to and he thought she might need a hearing aid. Not quite sure how to approach her, he called his family doctor to discuss the problem. The doctor told him there is a simple, informal test; which he could perform and give them a better idea about her hearing loss.

“Here’s what you do,” said the doctor, “stand about 40 feet away from her, and in a normal conversational speaking tone, see if she hears you. If not, go to 30 feet, then 20 feet, and so on until you get a response.”

Embracing Imperfection – a story by a girl

When I was a little girl, my mom liked to make breakfast food for dinner every now and then. And I remember one night in particular when she had made breakfast after a long, hard day at work. On that evening so long ago, my mom placed a plate of eggs, sausage, and extremely burned toast in front of my dad. I remember waiting to see if anyone noticed! Yet all my dad did was reach for his toast, smile at my mom, and ask me how my day was at school. I don’t remember what I told him that night, but I do remember watching him smear butter and jelly on that toast and eat every bite! When I got up from the table that evening, I remember hearing my mom apologize to my dad for burning the toast. And I’ll never forget what he said. ‘Baby, I love burned toast.’
