PAST, PRESENT AND FUTURE

To create your future wisely, joyfully and successfully:
Look back, learn from the past and then —

Turn around,

Even though it can be painful and hard.
Don’t carry the burden of the past;
nor bury yourself in it.

Admit your faults, cleanse them and don’t repeat them.
Seek no revenge.

Do not feel ashamed or guilty.

Never be a victim of the past —
Be a winner of the present.
Keep growing spiritually and embrace your future.

HOME

My home is where I lay my head
and I live where I am.

GROWING

As time passes by
some people get older
and others grow.

PRECIOUS WASTE

Let’s not waste life’s precious resources and its valuable time
Fighting about the past.

Let’s live a better today
With wisdom and joy
And embrace the future.

UNDERSTANDING

Before you ask
What others can do for you
Ask what you can do for yourself.

Before you expect others
To understand you
Give a thought to understand others.

KNOWING

It’s more important for me to live a conscious life knowing myself very well and grow, rather than, putting a lot of effort and energy just to be known superficially

HEROES

To become a hero
One needs a lot of intelligence, talents, strength, persistance, tactics, discipline and a good strategy just to mention a few.
Or, be at the right place, right time and doing the right thing at the right circumstances.

And, it takes lots of wisdom to have the qualities of a hero and decide not to become one.

IT’S YOUR DAY

Today
Is your day
Tomorrow
Another day
Faraway
So, stay and just do it today

AN ANTELOPE, AN OCTOPUS, A BEE AND ME

I went searching for an antelope
In the middle of the sea
A miracle did happen
I got stung by a bee
I laughed and I cried
And I went down on my knee
Hush… said an octopus
Hey, this can never happen to me
