The locusts in India, the floods in Oman, wildfires in Australia and the spread of a deathly virus that kills hundreds of people every day. Seems like mother nature has a voice, and she is raising it, she is telling us that the situations we are facing are only going to get more problematic.....all this because we didn't listen when she spoke many years ago. We are the result of nature and so, she is our mother. We as her children have not been appreciating and respecting the beauty that she brings to us. The bright green leaves and the colourful flowers bring out the rich blue sky, and when we look at them, we look at them we feel like we are truly at home. Because that is where we were meant to be, together in mother nature's hand and not surrounded by tall stacks off bricks and cement. We are now facing consequences because we didn't listen before, but now it is time to open are ears wide, listen and work towards a brighter future, a better future.

"Unity... it starts with YOU, ends with WE and brings SUCCESS."  ~Annanya Desai    If we all remain united, we will not be defeated. Even when everyone on planet Earth is going through difficult times, it makes the situation look much better when we realize that we are all going through it.... together, to realize that everyone understands and is there for you. We all know the story of a farmer and his quarrelling sons. The sons could each easily break a single stick, but when several were made into a bunch neither of them could break it. The sons then recognised the value of unity and gave up their quarells. We understand from this that peace and success come from from overcoming our differences. If together we are unable to do so we will all 'fall', only to learn our lesson and get back up together. Unity is strength...and if we all no matter our race, gender, ethnicity, etc.. come together and work towards a common purpose we are more likely to succeed. During thes...

"The day we stop learning is the day we die" ~ Michael Scott Learning is a lifelong process full of mistakes and achievements, exploring the things that make you tick, expanding your horizons and never stopping to dream big. Never stop learning just because you have passed a phase in life. Keeping on learning continuously develops the quality of life, keeps both your mind and body in shape. "Live as you were to die tomorrow, learn as you were to live forever" ~ Mahatma Gandhi Learn as much as you can, learn from your mistakes, from another's success and learn as though you have all the time in the world. It is very important to keep learn from your mistakes and your wrong decisions.  This will give you the ability to develop the wisdom and sense to start making good decisions and judgements. Admit you have made a mistake, it's only human and progress accelerates when you do so. The more we embrace them, the more we will be open to them and the more confident...

  "Believe you can and you're halfway there" ~  Theodore Roosevelt When you believe you can, you will.  Even when times seem hard, never stop believing that you can and never stop believing in yourself, cause when you keep trying to find success and believing that you will, you will receive it.  When you want to achieving something in life, the first thing you must do is to believe you can achieve that something. Without it, your dreams and goals will be pointless, because you'll be second guessing your capability and doubting your skills to actually take the necessary actions that will make you achieve.  But when you believe you can, quitting and giving up don't belong to your vocabulary.  Here is a story: The Elephant Rope (Belief) A gentleman was walking through an elephant camp, and he spotted that the elephants weren’t being kept in cages or held by the use of chains. All that was holding them back from...

"Turn your wounds into wisdom" - Oprah Winfrey     This quote has most certainly changed the way I look at failures, success and life as a whole. It portrays that some of life's best lessons are learned through our worst times. Often the greatest setbacks in our life end up being great blessings in disguise, but only if we accept them as such. All your biggest failures set you up for your greatest success. So, when you have a choice of either getting up and moving forward after you fall or just laying there, showing signs of weakness... Don't think about it, get up and keep moving. It doesn't matter how many times you have fallen, get up once again and learn from your mistakes, so you don't make them again.  Wayne Dyer once said,  "When you change the way you look at things, the way things look change" Always have a positive mindset. Don't look at obstacles as problems, look at them as challenges. All challenges are made for you to overcome, you ...

Here is a short summary of a real life incident that  Dr. Howard Kelly faced. A 12 year old boy ( Dr. Howard Kelly ) to pay for his studies use to do door to door sales of some house-hold articles. He had however for 2 continuous days not been able to sell anything and not eaten anything.  He knocked at a door to ask for some food. But his dignity did not permit him to do so.  Instead he asked for a glass of water when a beautiful middle-aged lady opened the door. Sensing that the boy was impoverished the lady gave him a glass of milk. The boy grew up to be a famous doctor and had his own hospital. Once a old lady in critical condition was admitted to his hospital.  He on talking to her realized that this was the same lady who had given the glass of milk to him when he knocked at her door as a 12 year old boy. But he did not tell her so. As she was in critical condition, the treatment bill was quite hefty. At the time of discharge she asked for the bill while request...

Sometimes your joy can be the source of your smile, but sometimes your smile can be the source of your joy. - Nat Hanh Sometimes the only way around failure is to go straight through it. Sometimes you win, Sometimes you lose  learn Sometimes life doesn't give you what you want, not because you don't deserve it, but because you deserve much more. Sometimes you will never know the value of a moment until it becomes a memory. - Dr. Suess Sometimes we think it is holding on that makes us strong, but it is letting go. Sometimes we make choices in life, sometimes the choices in life make you. Sometimes there is no next time, no timeouts and no second chance. Sometimes it's NOW or NEVER.
