Life is like riding a bicycle

“Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance, you must keep moving.”

A dear friend of my shared this quote with me and I think she did so for two reasons. First, my friend knows my love of bike riding. Second, I am always talking about and helping others to take action with respect to achieving their goals and dreams.

No matter what the past year was like, always remember we can’t change the past. We can, however, influence the future.

For months I have been speaking about and trying to help you achieve your goals, get you motivated to move forward and to create your action plan to get you where you want to be. I have also mentioned the heroic achievements of some of our US Olympic athletes during this past Olympic summer games. I think their achievements are a great source of inspiration and motivation for us all!

No matter what has happened in the past, you must not give up on your goals and dreams! Has this year been another challenging year for you? I can relate! Please keep this important fact in mind. No matter what the past year was like, it is in the past. While we can’t do anything to change the past, we can, however, influence the future. The key to remember is that we must constantly move forward. Don’t let obstacles prevent you from achieving your goals.

Are you ready to move forward with respect to achieving your goals? Do you need a little help, motivation, or maybe you just need a step by step action plan to help you reach your goals? If so, I can help. 

Don’t let the past control your future. Let me help you reach your goals and dreams.

The Sunrise

It is an amazing sight
Watching the sunrise
Glorious indeed
Especially when the clouds
Cast a moving shadow
Across the canvas
Making the world peacefully come alive
A magnificent view from the farmhouse
The sky splashed with soft colours
Shades of pink, red and orange
With a backdrop of blue, patched with white
The mood bidding farewell
And the sun emerging from behind the clouds
Magic fills the air
Always leaving me with a feeling of romance
That makes time stand still
And allows me to absorb and enjoy the tranquillity
Indeed a romantic
Between myself and the sunrise
Puts a sparkle in the eye.

The Golden Rose

"Roses are red, Violets are blue

My feelings like Gold

Is forever true for you"

The words mimicked in the air

As they sat facing

The truth at the table's end

It was the end, yet a beginning

 

The lights grew dim , the radiance gleamed

A drop kissed the brimming cup

And she drank it all

True, It was a beginning.

Like the realization after a mistake

A sense of relief

rested in her heart

The mist cleared away

And she saw him slipping

into oblivion

turning into a bleak memory

Resting in tranquility

She held the golden rose

Pinned it carefully on her scarf.

"Roses are red ,Violets are blue

I wish I could be

True to you"                                   

But it was another day today

Someone sat at the tables end

Trying to read his fate

In her dancing eyes

And it was the golden rose

That gleamed in her cheeks

No, she dared not to repeat

The mistake again

This one seemed more elite

Than the last one.

“Roses are red Violets are Blue

I will try my best

To be true to you”

She said, he sighed.

Rising sun

As I sit on the swing
Watching the rising sun
No one can see me
As I'm not completely there
I can be felt...
By those who truly know me
In the truth of my essence
Which sits upon the swing
In unison with all that I see
I exist within every particle
Of the suns rays
That are bringing light
And warmth
To ward off the chill
Of the early morning air
That caresses my being
And strengthens my presence
Where I sit untouched by time
And unbound by the limitations
Of what I once endured!!!!

Life

Life has been described by many people in different ways ranging from; life is short make it sweet to more serious ones like; life is like a dream, even before we realize it vanishes and so on. The various perspectives of life depend upon the beholder, how they enjoy it or decry it. But as a whole, this mankind is a precious gift offered to us that can be used either way. 

Life can be made more useful by taking inspiration  and life gives us every chance to rectify our mistakes-big or small. Life is full of experiments and we all learn by mistakes. Life is a journey, which is full of twists and turns, and ups and downs. And sometimes in this journey there arises various situations where one is unable to deal with these turns or do not have the energy to face the ups and downs. In instances like this when the downward spiral becomes hard to overcome it seems to linger on and on. 

The hectic activity of life is the major cause of such feelings. Stress, nowadays, is no stranger to daily life. Stress in its severer form can lead to everything that we love and care become strained not to speak of the burden it puts on our mental and physical health. To put our emotional life back on course and thus attain mental solace, the best remedy is to seek recourse in the wit and ideas of the wise men. These men who had faced everything and so have a deeper understanding of life were well versed in what you are going through.These quotes are useful for those who take life seriously and thus they should make an attempt to enjoy it whereas it also finds great use for those who are depressed in life and draw inspiration to make the life more meaningful and bright.

God Created

God Created

On the first day God created the dog. God said, "Sit all day by the door of your house and bark at anyone who comes in or walks past. I will give you a life span of twenty years." The dog said, "That's too long to be barking. Give me ten years and I'll give you back the other ten." 
So God agreed. 

On the second day God created the monkey. God said, "Entertain people, do monkey tricks and make them laugh. I'll give you a twenty-year life span." The monkey said, "Monkey tricks for twenty years? I don't think so. Dog gave you back ten, so that's what I'll do too, okay?"
And God agreed. 

On the third day God created the cow. "You must go to the field with the farmer all day long and suffer under the sun, have calves, and give milk to support the farmer. I will give you a life span of sixty years."
The cow said, "That's kind of a tough life you want me to live for sixty years. Let me have twenty and I'll give back the other forty." 
And God agreed again. 

On the fourth day God created man. God said, "Eat, sleep, play, marry and enjoy your life. I'll give you twenty years."
Man said, "What? Only twenty years? Tell you what, I'll take my twenty, and the forty the cow gave back, and the ten the monkey gave back, and the ten the dog gave back, that makes eighty, okay?" 

Okay," said God, "You've got a deal." 

So that is why the first twenty years we eat, sleep, play, and enjoy ourselves; the next forty years we slave in the sun to support our family; the next ten years we do monkey tricks to entertain the grandchildren; and the last ten years we sit on the front porch and bark at everyone. 

Life has now been explained to you.

Integrity

Today my thoughts are focused on integrity. Research shows that the majority of the world population is below the level of integrity. This means the majority of the people cannot tell truth from false. This means they are dishonest with themselves and others. This means their values justifies falsifying information, lying, cheating and not keeping up with commitments, to themselves and others. This means these people cannot experience the empathy for others, that they are not connected to their heart. Integrity is the foundation of self-esteem and spiritual development. We may get away from fooling others, but we can never fool the ever present witness within. The evolution of your consciousness depends on who you are, and that very much includes what you do when no one else is looking! Every spiritual teaching suggests that lack of integrity is a serious spiritual flaw that brings forth painful karmic consequences. One of the major shifts in consciousness of our planet will occur on the day where atleast 50% of world population rise above the level of integrity.
