WIND OF CHANGE

The wind of change blows when and where it will.
Wind like water has its usage and when harnessed can be a great source of power. 
A wall that stands in the way of strong winds will crumble but put windmills in their path and they become valuable resources.

The toughest people are the ones who have gone through fire and the wind of change. 
And if they don't perish in the process, they become stronger and more resilient. 

Everyone has his own cross to bear, some heavier than others...

STRESS

Not all stress is bad. 
There is the kind that jolts us out of complacence and remove that false sense of wellness. 
We learn not to take things for granted. 
The bad that happens in our lives aren't necessarily bad. Thinking makes it so. 

An element of surprise and suspense is always good to spice up and enhance an otherwise monotonous existence.

S - Seek divine enlightenment

T - Take things in stride

R - Rest body, mind and spirit

E - Eat healthily

S - Suffer no fool

S - Select your thoughts

Stress is an attitude - an emotion - that can be brought under control and made to work to our advantage.

IMAGINATION

Dreams are the vehicles on which we ride our fantasies and fantasies keep us alive. 
Dreams are free, fueled only by our imagination and at will, we soar reaching for the stars. 
In dreams there are no limits.

All achievements in the past, present and future - great inventions, successful businesses, production of books, arts, movies, sports, great symphonies - begin with a dream.
Some one dares and some one does.
Dream on ...

WONDERFULLY MADE

I'm a little Country, a little Rock n Roll. I'm a little Marie Curie, a little Marilyn Monroe, a little Mother Teresa, a little Meryl Streep and even a little Golda Meir. 
Guess if I add up all the 'a littles' that'll be a lot! 

Sure I am not perfect but I'm perfectly me. 
Heck! that ain't so bad!

MAGIC

Life bereft of faith, hope and love is horrifying, hollow and hazardous.  Such a pitiful state of mere existence.
In contrast when your senses are moved, jolted and awakened by the stirrings of love and passion, there's magic. 
And with that, a whole new world opens up to your pleasure...

AVALANCHE OF CHANGE

As parents, we sometimes wonder whether we could have done more in raising our kids. 
Our children, now grown up and on the threshold of parenthood themselves declare confidently that they shall become better parents! 
Little do they know a rude awakening awaits them! 

And so life goes on.

No family is perfect but in fact dysfunctional to various extent. Even so we make the best of existing circumstances and deal with the avalanche of change as it comes. 
The permanence of the world is illusory.

We are products of the time we live in ...

KEEN MIND

Look for the good in people. 
If you cannot find it, just imagine it's there....somewhere.
It may be hidden in layers of cynicism, ignorance, arrogance, disappointment, anger and hate. 
Keep searching with a keen mind and open heart. 
Having a positive outlook works wonder.

FEELINGS

Feelings come and go and are neither good nor bad. 
It's what we learn from the emotions - desire, deception, hate, love, revenge, vulnerability - that make them so powerful and priceless ...
