GEMS OF WISDOM

Very inspirational, just like Ten Commandments to follow in the life all the time

1] Prayer is not a "spare wheel" that you pull out when in trouble, but it is a "steering wheel" that directs the right path throughout

2] Do you know why a cars' WINDSHIELD is so large & the Rearview Mirror is so small?
Because our PAST is not as important as ur FUTURE. Look Ahead and Move on!

3] Friendship is like a BOOK. It takes few seconds to burn, but it takes years to write one!

4] All things in life are temporary. If going well, enjoy it, they will not last forever. If going wrong, don't worry, they can't last long either.

5] Old Friends are Gold! New Friends are Diamond! If you get a Diamond, don't forget the Gold! Because to hold a Diamond, you always need a Base of Gold!

6] Often when we lose hope and think this is the end, GOD smiles from above and says,
"Relax, sweetheart, it's just a bend, not the end!

7] When GOD solves your problems, you have faith in HIS abilities; when GOD doesn't solve your problems HE has faith in your abilities.

8] A blind person asked Swami Vivekanand: "Can there be anything worse than losing eye sight?"
He replied: "Yes, losing your vision!"

9] When you pray for others, God listens to you and blesses them, and sometimes,when you are safe and happy, remember that someone has prayed for you.

10] WORRYING does not take away tomorrows' TROUBLES, it takes away todays' PEACE!
Please share with others.

A single hour spent with a good book and a cup of tea can provide an entire day’s worth of contentment.

Don’t despair when the going gets rough, for that’s when you discover how strong you really are?

You have the power to make happiness a way of life, instead of an occasional experience.

The happiness of your life depends upon the quality of your thoughts and deeds.

We are made richer and more beautiful by the reflection of our thoughts and actions.

Before you taste anything, recite a blessing.

Prayer opens your heart until it is big enough to hold and keep God.

Life is too short to wakeup in the morning with regrets. So love the people who treat you right, forget about the ones who don’t and believe that everything happens for a reason.

Nothing in all creation is so like God as stillness.

If you believe you can do something, then you can acquire the ability to do it even if you didn’t have it in the beginning.

Your daily life is your temple and your religion. Whenever you enter into it, take with you your all.

There is a force within that gives you life, seek that; in your body there lies a priceless jewel, and seek that.

If you are in search of the greatest treasure, don’t look outside, look within, and seek that.

There is no place to which we could flee from God which is outside God.

Make the best use of what is in your power and take the rest as it happens.

Prayer is not asking. It is a longing of soul.

The soul of one who loves God always swims in joy and always is in a mood for singing.

There is for each man, perfect self-expression. There is a place which he is to fill, some things he is to do, it is his destiny.

Whatever you ask for in prayer with faith, you will receive.

It is true that we don’t know what we’ve got until we lose it, but it’s also true that we don’t know what we’ve been missing until it arrives.
