داستان

One day I decided to quit...I quit my job, my relationship, my spirituality. .. I wanted to quit my life.
I went to the woods to have one last talk with God.
"God", I asked, "Can you give me one good reason not to quit?"
His answer surprised me....
"Look around", He said. "Do you see the fern and the bamboo?"
"Yes", I replied.
"When I planted the fern and the bamboo seeds, I took very good care of them.
I gave them light.
I gave them water.
The fern quickly grew from the earth.
Its brilliant green covered the floor.
Yet nothing came from the bamboo seed. But I did not quit on the bamboo..
In the second year the Fern grew more vibrant and plentiful.
And again, nothing came from the bamboo seed. But I did not quit on the bamboo. He said.
"In year three there was still nothing from the bamboo seed.
But I would not quit.
In year four, again, there was nothing from the bamboo seed. I would

داستان The House of 1000 Mirrors

The House of 1000 Mirrors

Long ago in a small, far away village, there was a place known as the House of 1000 Mirrors. A small, happy little dog learned of this place and decided to visit. When he arrived, he bounced happily up the stairs to the doorway of the house. He looked through the doorway with his ears lifted high and his tail wagging as fast as it could. To his great surprise, he found himself staring at 1000 other happy little dogs with their tails wagging just as fast as his. He smiled a great smile, and was answered with 1000 great smiles just as warm and friendly. As he left the house, he thought to himself, "This is a wonderful place. I will come back and visit it often."

In this same village, another little dog, who was not quite as happy as the first one, decided to visit the house. He slowly climbed the stairs and hung his head low as he looked into the door. When he saw the 1000 unfriendly looking dogs staring back at him, he growled at them and was horrified to see 1000 little dogs growling back at him. As he left, he thought to himself, "That is a horrible place, and I will never go back there again."

داستان The Rose Within

The Rose Within

A certain man planted a rose and watered it faithfully and before it blossomed, he examined it.

He saw the bud that would soon blossom, but noticed thorns upon the stem and he thought, "How can any beautiful flower come from a plant burdened with so many sharp thorns? Saddened by this thought, he neglected to water the rose, and just before it was ready to bloom... it died.

So it is with many people. Within every soul there is a rose. The God-like qualities planted in us at birth, grow amid the thorns of our faults. Many of us look at ourselves and see only the thorns, the defects.

We despair, thinking that nothing good can possibly come from us. We neglect to water the good within us, and eventually it dies. We never realize our potential.

Some people do not see the rose within themselves; someone else must show it to them. One of the greatest gifts a person can possess is to be able to reach past the thorns of another, and find the rose within them.

Help others to realize they can overcome their faults. If we show them the "rose" within themselves, they will conquer their thorns. Only then will they blossom many times over.

رز درون

شخصی گل رزی را کاشت و تا قبل از گل دادن منظم از آن مراقبت و آبیاریش کرد. غنچه ای که بزودی می خواست شکوفا شود را مشاهده کرد ، اما به خار های روی ساقه توجه کرد و با خودش فکر کرد که چه طور ممکن است گلی زیبا از گیاهی با چنین خارهای تیزی بوجود بیاید؟ با این نوع طرز فکر از آبیاری گل دست کشید و درست قبل از اینکه غنچه بشکفد گل خشک شد.
این کاریست که خیلی از افراد انجامش می دهند. درون هر روحی گل رزی وجود دارد. صفات و ظرفیت هایی خدایی در هنگام تولد در ما نهاده شده که در میان خار های عیب ها و کاستی هایمان رشد می کنند. خیلی از ما وقتی به خودمان نگاه می کنیم خار ها و کاستی ها را می بینیم و از اینکه کار مثبتی از ما سر بزند ناامید می شویم و از آبیاری خوبی های درونمان دست می کشیم تا عاقبت می میرند و هیچگاه متوجه ظرفیت ها و توانایی هایمان نمی شویم.
بسیاری متوجه رز درونشان نمی شوند و نیاز دارند تا دیگران آن را نشانشان دهند.ارزشمند ترین هدیه ای که کسی می تواند بدست بیاورد این است که به ورای خارهای دیگران برسد و رز درونشان را کشف کند.
به دیگران کمک کنید تا به این باور برسند که می توانند بر مشکلاتشان غلبه کنند. اگر رز درون را نشانشان دهیم قطعا بر مشکلاتشان غلبه خواهند کرد و در همان لحظه بار ها و بارها خواهند شکفت.

Words & Thoughts

Words & Thoughts

Imagine a boxer stepping into the ring, and telling himself:
"I'm a loser. I'm a chicken!"
How long would he last?

Imagine a singer walking onstage, and telling herself:
"I'm pathetic! They'll hate me!"
How well would she sing?

It's a recipe for disaster.

Yet, lots of us use this same recipe every day. We tell ourselves:
"I'm fat."
"I have a rotten memory."
"I'm always broke."
"I'm an idiot."
Then we wonder why we fail!

If you expect to forget, you will forget!
If you expect to be broke, you will stay broke.
If you expect to behave like an idiot ...

So how do we start to think positively?

The first step is to watch your mouth! Notice what you SAY about yourself.

From today, NEVER SAY ANYTHING BAD ABOUT YOURSELF.
Never tell people: "I'm hopeless, I always screw up, my boyfriends always dump me ..."

Make a commitment: "From today, I will not criticise myself. If I have nothing good to say about me, I will keep my mouth shut."

It's hard to control our thoughts - but we CAN control what comes out of our mouth. Once we take control of our language, we begin to have more positive thoughts ... and life gets better.

We become what we think about!

Once upon a time there were three little pigs.

One morning, the mother pig said, "You must go into the world and make your own way."

So the three little pigs set out into the world.

The first little pig met a man carrying a bundle of straw and said, "Please may I have some of your straw to build a house with?"

The man gave him some straw and the little pig built himself a fine straw house to live in.

Soon, a hungry wolf came along. He knocked at the door and said, "Little pig, little pig, let me come in."

"No, no, by the hair of my chinny chin chin. I won't let you in."

"Then I'll huff and I'll puff and I'll blow your house in."
