SHARED THOUGHTS….14.08.2011.
==============================
Very often we face situations, when we are concerned with the kind of response we get from others.. that tend to be different from what we may have anticipated…. This leads to disappointment, or reactions from us that may not wholly help the cause to build bridges…. The following provides a very simple solution to face such situations. Understanding the essence of this message helps one to love from a distance and not be disappointed………..

Not Everyone Is Spiritually Healthy And Mature Enough To Have A Front Row Seat In Our Lives. There Are Some People In Our Life That Need To Be Loved From A Distance.
It's Amazing What We Can Accomplish When We Let Go, Or At Least Minimize Your Time With Draining, Negative, Incompatible, Not-Going-Anywhere Relationships, Friendships, and Fellowships.
Observe The Relationships Around Us. Pay Attention To…Which Ones Lift And Which Ones Lean...Which Ones Encourage And Which Ones Discourage... Which Ones Are On A Path Of Growth Uphill And Which Ones Are Going Downhill…
When We Leave Certain People, Do We Feel Better Or Feel Worse? Which Ones Always Have Drama ....Or... Don't Really Understand, Know And Appreciate Us And The Gift That Lies Within Us...
When We Seek Growth, Peace Of Mind, Love And Truth, The Easier It Will Become For Us To Decide Who Gets To Sit In The Front Row And Who Should Be Moved To The Balcony Of Our Life.
We Cannot Change The People Around Us But We Can Change The People We Are Around With.
Ask God For Godly Wisdom And Discernment
Let Us Choose Wisely The People Who Sit In The Front Row Of Our Life.
( Thank you Ajit )

Life is too short to wake up with regrets... Love the people who treat
you right and forget about the ones who don't.
ENJOY LIFE NOW - IT HAS AN EXPIRATION DATE!

Try not to become a man of success.
Try not to become a man of success, but rather to become a man of value.
He is considered successful in our day who gets more out of life that he puts in.
But a man of value - will give more than he receives !==================================================================

A valuable lesson in making the most of what you have.
Madan Mohan Malaviya was a freedom fighter, author, editor & publisher of newspapers, educationist, staunch Hindu. He is credited with popularising the slogan "Satymeva Jayate". He was the first one to establish a private university in India which is based on the model of historical Nalanda, Takasheela Vidya Peethams.
When Malaviya was trying to build a good university, he had to overcome many difficulties and barriers. He worked with determination to start the university. There was a funds crisis; but he did not get disheartened. He went from town to town, met many rich people and traders to collect donations.
He went to the Nizam of Hyderabad (then reputedly the richest man in the world) to request him for funds. The Nizam was furious, " How dare you come to me for funds and that too for a Hindu University? " He roared with anger, took off his footwear and flung it at Malaviya.
Malaviya picked up the footwear and left silently. He went directly to the market place and began to auction the footwear. As it was Nizam's footwear, many came forward to buy it. The bids kept going up.
When Nizam heard of this, he became uneasy. He thought it would be an insult if his footwear were to be bought by someone for a pittance. So he sent one of his attendants with the instruction, 'Buy that footwear no matter whatever the price be!'
Thus, Malaviya managed to sell the Nizam's own footwear back to him, for a huge amount. He used that money to build the Banaras Hindu University.

Moral of the story: It does not matter what you have, but how you make use of what you have, in your Life & Business.

Prove Your WorthThere will be good days. And there will be bad days.
There will be times when - you want to turn around, pack it up, and call it quits.
Don’t give up at that time. Don’t Quit.
Its an opportunity to prove your worth.
