E - Explore
Explore and experiment. The world has much to offer, and you have much to give. And every time you try something new, you will learn more about yourself.

H - Hope
Hope for the best and never forget that anything is possible as long as you remain dedicated to the task.

M - Manage
Manage your time and your expenses wisely, and you will suffer less stress and worry. Then you will be able to focus on the important things in life.

Play and do not forget to have fun along the way. Success means nothing without happiness.

Question the things that you find confusing because you are here to learn.
R - Refuse
Refuse to let worry and stress rule your life, and remember that things always have a way of working out in the end.
S - Share
Share your talent, skills, knowledge, and time with others. Everything that you invest in others will return to you many times over.
T - Try
Try and try harder even when your dreams seem impossible to reach. You will be amazed by what you can accomplish.

Zoom to a happy place when bad memories or sorrow rears its ugly head. Let nothing interfere with your goals. Instead, focus on your abilities, your dreams, and a brighter tomorrow.

God Said No
Forwarded by Ongkar Singh
Sunday, 9 August 2009 3:02 PM
I asked God to take away my pride.
God said, No.
It is not for me to take away, but for you to give it up.
I asked God to make my handicapped child whole.
God said, No.
His spirit is whole, his body is only temporary.
I asked God to grant me patience.
God said, No.
Patience is a by product of tribulations; it isn't granted, it is learned.
I asked God to give me happiness.
God said, No.
I give you blessings; Happiness is up to you.
I asked God to spare me pain.
God said, No.
Suffering draws you apart from worldly cares and brings you closer to Me.
I asked God for all things that I might enjoy life.
God said, No.
I will give you life, so that you may enjoy all things.
I ask God to help me LOVE others, as much as He loves me.
God said, Ahhhh, finally you have the idea.
If you love God, share love!
THIS DAY IS YOURS.
DON'T THROW IT AWAY.
To the world you might just be one person, but to one person you might be the world.

Inspiring Thoughts for Tough Times
Forwarded by Bhagyalakshmi Sundaran
Wednesday, 14 July 2010 1:35 PM
Difficult financial times often inspire people to become more extraordinary. Challenge and adversity can push people toward their own greatness. It can launch you on a deeper personal journey toward happiness, fulfillment, and a life of meaning. As you explore ways to gather strength and improve self-esteem, remember, it is not so much about what you have but who you are. May these tips inspire you. May you go from strength to strength and be a source of strength to others.
Broke is not Broken: Being broke is not the same as being broken, losing money is not the same as being lost, and finding your balance is not something you can do on a balance sheet.
Having Less Does not Mean You are Less: Do not confuse having less with being less, having more with being more, or what you have with who you are.
Savor Life and Slow Down: When you are in a hurry, go slowly. The faster you go in life the sooner it is a blur.
Prayer Creates a New Path: Prayer creates a path where there is none and turns your stumbling blocks into building blocks.
Courage is not the Absence of Fear: Put your faith in charge and not your fears. Courage is not the absence of fears but how you wrestle with them.
Embrace the Future: If you are busy hugging the past, you cannot embrace the future. Do not let the past kidnap your future.
Change is the Only Constant: This too shall pass. Change is the only constant. In order to take a breath, you must release your breath.
Make a Difference: Do what you can but never forget that letting go is very different from giving up. Of all the things you can make in life, remember that you make all the differences.
Embrace Happiness: Tough times do not require you to be tough on yourself. Find the courage to embrace happiness.
You Are Great: Things do not have to be good for you to be great.

An Extraordinary Wedding
Forwarded by Marilou Mora
Fri, Sep 25, 2009 at 3:30 PM
Her name is Katie Kirkpatrick, 21 yrs old. Next to her is her fiancee, Nick, 23 years old. The picture above was taken prior to their wedding on 11th January 2005. Katie has terminal cancer and spends hours in chemotherapy. Here Nick awaits while she finishes one of the sessions.
Even in pain and dealing with her organs shutting down, with the help of morphine, Katie took care of every single part of the wedding planning. Her dress had to be adjusted several times due to Katie's constant weight loss.
An expected guest was her oxygen tank. Katie had to use it during the ceremony and reception. The other couple in this picture is Nick's parents, very emotional with the wedding and of course to see their son marrying the girl he fell in love when he was an adolescent.
Katie in a wheel chair listening to her husband and friends singing to her.
In the middle of the party, Katie had to rest for a bit and catch her breath. The pain does not allow her to stand for long period of time.
Katie died five days after her wedding. To see a fragile woman dress as bride with a beautiful smile makes you think. Happiness is always there within reach, no matter how long it lasts. Lets enjoy life and don't live a complicated life. Life is too short.
Work as if it was your first day.
Forgive as soon as possible.
Love without boundaries.
Laugh without control and never stop smiling.
Please pray for those suffering from cancer.
We all have close to our heart.
Keep this going.
Prayers are always answered.
