"SUNSHINE"
By: dolphin0925

The light of a new day
Strikes my window with its ray
Shining bright on me
My face lit up with glee
A beautiful day has a greeting
As I wake up in the morning
A warmth and radiance
A promise of a chance
Fill my heart with cheerfulness
Anticipation,excitement & happiness
No more gloominess & hopelessness
No misery,sorrow,pain and sadness
In darkness I will never grope
For I have a glimpse of hope
From dusk to dawn
I will carry on and dream on
With my sunshine......

Proverbs, quotes, sayings, parables, riddles are ways of communicating the truth that lies behind those meaningful words. For some people it may be hard sometimes to understand , or is it because some are just not interested to comprehend the truth or to find the answers or meaning? I believe speaking the wisdom in mystery is up for people to seek the hidden wisdom and to be ready to discover the truth with their open mind and open heart. Some people just don't really bother to go deeper or go beyond those words, shallowness of the human mind and hardness of the heart

"Hearing you will hear and shall not understand, and seeing you will see and not perceive, for the heart of this people has grown dull. Their ears are hard of hearing, and their eyes they have closed, lest they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears, lest they should understand with their heart and turn, so that I should heal them"

A great life is when you have lived a meaningful life which for me ......a long life's journey of experiencing the good and the bad sides of life . It is not just all pleasures , happiness and satisfaction but a totality of learning different things and discovering or finding the purpose of life that would make us a whole person receiving the gifts of purity of heart, love, patience, understanding, kindness, knowledge and wisdom. These are the gifts that we should find in our search for life's meaning. In all our hardships, pains and sufferings, we become more stronger and gain wisdom from all the trials and challenges of life. Don't just seek for pleasures to satisfy our own self but rather make an impact in the lives of others . it doesn't have to be just finding a partner in life but to be a part of any one's life and making a difference. That's a life worth living with a meaning.

"I am determined to be cheerful and happy in whatever situation I may find myself. For I have learned that the greater part of our misery or unhappiness is determined not by our circumstance but by our disposition"
-Martha Washington-

"He who is of calm and happy nature will hardly feel the pressure of age, but to him who is of an opposite disposition youth and age are equally a burden"
-Plato-

I would definitely help anyone who is in need especially when someone's life is at risks.

How to stop being a people pleaser.



I believe there is nothing wrong with being a people pleaser......it depends on your motivation why you do certain things. If you always say yes or wear a fake smile just to impress people you don't even like, then I would say, you are not being honest and sincere to yourself and to the people. You definitely don't please people but yourself by doing it to your advantage. If you want to please people it should come from your heart that you really want to do it because you truly care, you want others to be happy, you smile because you want to touch other people , you want to brighten up their day or you want to create a happy and friendly environment. And if you can't please everybody, it's okay, just give it a shrug, don't get upset and don't feel tired doing good for everyone. When you are motivated by the goodness in your heart , you will never get tired doing something for the people you care about. It may hurt sometimes to encounter unappreciative or ungrateful people but don't let it stop you from doing good deeds. But I must say you have to learn to be honest with yourself too, learn to say NO, don't be forced to do something you don't like, coz by doing so, it would be a form of deception.

I wouldn't say happy all the time, but I do appreciate all the things that are happening in my life and it makes me feel content with what I have and not expect more. A grateful heart will always bring you joy , contentment and peace of mind

Everything is possible But don't chase for love for it will become more elusive to you. You might be a wanderer now, but who knows in your wandering you will find something beautiful that you are not looking for.....could be a long term friend or you will become a captive of love

Well, we are all strangers here so we see people as strange individuals we may meet friends here or become estranged from each other or may become deranged later

Time is infinite....there will never be enough time to do everything rather we have all the time to do great things and of value for we can do so much more as long as we live. The time we spend in doing something, may it be short or long, what matters is we spend quality time by doing our best and putting our heart into something that matters to us. Time is valuable, use it with a purpose by giving meaning to your life. Time is all we've got in this world and our existence .......what matters to me may not matter to you or to anyone but still, do what you gotta do for you will never know what the future will bring you and what's going to happen. Live with a purpose , the time bestowed upon us is limitless but our life has a limit......use your time wisely

Family
Friends
Career
Love


Valuing love for family, friends and career fills up your life with love, security and happiness more than anything else in this world:)

It's kindah romantic to me, so it's a turn on

Remember that life is an art and you are the artist. You may feel broken now, yet life doesn't stop from there. Collect all the broken pieces and create something beautiful. They say you can't put all the pieces of a broken glass to make it whole again, but you can make a beautiful piece of art out of the broken glass bring it back to life , for there is always hope

From the Wonderland

We don't just sit waiting for something to happen, do what is necessary to make your life worth living and meaningful. But I must say that not all the things we desire will be granted. Not all our expectations are met, there will always be disappointments and failures but don't let it stop you to go after what you want, keep on trying and searching for something that would give more meaning to your life.

Happiness is always a by-product. It is probably a matter of temperament, and for anything I know it may be glandular. But it is not something that can be demanded from life, and if you are not happy you had better stop worrying about it and see what treasures you can pluck from your own brand of unhappiness. ~Robertson Davies

Happiness is a state of well being. It depends on how we see life and how we deal with the things that are happening around us. The pursuit of happiness does not always mean that we can do whatever makes us happy, it should be coupled with consideration of others, situations or events and the consequences of our actions. Not all favorable things that happen to us can make us happy all the time, what is in excess or we think are good could also be harmful to us or to others. We should be mindful of everything that we do, set limitations and considerations. The pursuit of happiness cannot be found in doing the things that makes us happy only but in searching for the true meaning of life with the feeling of contentment or satisfaction of what we presently have in life and make the most of it for the good of everyone and our well being.

Happy New Year everyone! Oh yes I went out to a New Year's Eve Party in an island resort, met new people and made friends:) I had a great time, a memory to treasure:)
