Life is a Journey...


Noone seems perfect until you fall in love with them.

Life can be tough sometimes, but You are stronger.

The opportunities are not waste; the ones you let go others take advantage of it.

When you have room for negativity and rancorous; you leave no room for happiness.

It is better to be kind and gentle; you don’t know who you might need tomorrow. Everything comes back to you.

A smile can always make you look better :-)

I can’t choose my feelings, but I can always do something about it.

Everyone wants to be on the top of the hill, but the best moments occur when you are climbing it.

Don't miss the little things in life waiting for the big ones, they might not come at all.

Enjoy the ride and don’t worry about the ending. Life is a journey...

Give advises when you are asked and when a life depends on it.
The less time you waste the more things you get done.

Everyday is a new beginning


I lost a toy I gained in my childhood, but I gained the memory of the person who gave me that present.

I lost the privileges and fantasy of being a child, but I gained the opportunity to grow up and live freely.

I lost many people I loved, but I gained their love and the example of their lives

I lost special moments in life because I was crying instead of laughing… but I learned that is giving love how you get love in return.
 
I lost many times and many things in life, but thanks to that
“Losing” today I know the value of winning.

It’s always possible to fight for what we love and there’s always time to start over.

Rest if you must, but don’t give you. It’s always possible and necessary to start again.

Start over, take the opportunity, follow your dreams, keep your faith and your hopes up and believe in you.

Have you gone through hard and sad times? It was time for reflection, meditation, a learning period, for you to grow up.

Did you cry a lot? It was to clean your soul.

Were you rancorous? It was for you to learn how to forgive.

Did you feel lonely? It was because you shot the door.
Did you think all was lost? It was the beginning of your improvement.

If you still feel lonely? Look around and you’ll find many people waiting for your smile to get close to you.

Today is an excellent day to start over. Start a new project in life. Where do you want to go? Who do you want to be?

Look ahead, dream, make your wish, hope for the best of the best and your wish will become true.

If you think small, small things you’ll get. If you think big, big things you’ll get. Be determined, stay positive, follow your dreams, go after what you want, and the best will come to you.

Think of today as the day to clear your mind of all negative thoughts.
 
Leave the past where it belongs… in the past. Don’t let it ruin your present.

Get rid off everything that might hurt you and don’t let you move forward. 

Clear your mind, your heart and let them be ready for a new life, a new adventure, a new love.

We are passionate people; we are able to love many times.
We are the manifest of Love.

Life always give you the opportunity to a new start, a new path, a new challenge, a new place, a new person, a new : YOU, Only you have to believe it.

Today is a new beginning. Go after your goals. Trust in God, trust yourself and make it happen...

LIFE ...


I forgave mistakes almost unforgivable;
I tried to replace people irreplaceable;
I tried to forget people unforgettable;

I already did things for impulse
I have disappointed some people, and I have been disappointed by others.

I have hugged to protect someone
I have laughed when I couldn’t
I have made friends forever
I have loved and I have been loved, But I have also been rejected.
I have been loved, and I couldn’t love them back

I have screamed and jumped of happiness
I have lived on love and made eternal promises, but I have also broke them.

I have cried listening to music and looking at photos
I have called to hear a voice.

I have fallen for a smile
I have thought I was going to die of sadness …

I have felt the fear of losing someone special
And I ended up losing it…

But I have survived and I’m still Living

I don’t pass by life without enjoying it…
and You shouldn’t either… so…
LIVE, Enjoy, take the opportunities.

Be determined, hug life and live with passion
Lose with class and win with courage.
The World belongs to those who face no fear and life is very valuable to feel insignificant.

It is more blessed to give than to receive

 The good and evil are always together so the man can choose. The battlefield where the good and evil fight is in the human mind. It’s your choice !


The bottle is the body. The water is the soul. If the bottle breaks the water will continue flowing. The body comes to an end; the soul will continue flowing.

Do not rush in life; take the time to enjoy it.

We don’t own anything, nothing really belong to us. Everything was given to us. We came to this world without anything and we’ll leave the same way.
Materials things are only temporary.

The truth is usually in front of our eyes, but we don’t see because we don’t want to see it.

We usually don’t listen what we don’t want to hear.

For the one suffering a minute is an eternity.

Time heals everything, but not necessarily erase.

Time does not stop. Everything takes its own course.
Nothing stays static, not on the top like a wave or on the bottom; it might take some time, but eventually everything flows.

When people are dominated by a passion the brain freezes, you don’t clearly think anymore; however you let the desire take control over you.
Don’t become a slave of your desires.

Pride is related to Ignorance. Pride takes you high so when you fall the shock is harder.

You only get to God by the way of Truth.
It’s not the path that makes the difference; it’s how you react to everything around you what really makes the difference.

If you don’t control your rage, your ego; they will control you. If you learn how to control them your destiny will be in your favor.

Give without expecting anything in return. You will be rewarded some day.

It is more blessed to give than to receive. Act 20:35

Everything happens for a reason.


* The one that reaches for your hand, but touches your heart is a true friend.

* We rarely think of what we have, but we always think of what we need.

* Don’t cry because is over, smile because it happened.

* The more you plan it, the harder the destiny will be on you. You can’t plan destiny; Let it flow.

* Everything happens for a reason. Don’t question it; you will eventually understand it.

* The best things happens when you least expect it.

* The best moments are not the loudest ones, but the quiet ones. If you are on your own in that silence you hear your Heart beat. There’s no better place to meet yourself.

* One of the hardest things to learn is: what bridge to cross and which one to break.

* Everyone sees what you seem to be, but only a few know who you really are.

* Don’t fear if you fall into the abyss; It’s there in the darkest and deepest where you will find the light that shines twice as bright.

* God wanted you to meet many different people
in life so when you meet the right ones you are able to appreciate and be thankful for them.

* Don’t forget that there is something good in everyday.

* Life is a white sheet of paper where we draw each day without a copy.

* Love doesn’t require two people to look at each other, but to look in the same direction.

* I wish you: Air to breath, Fire to warm up, Water to drink, the Earth to live and Health all the time.

The woman


Be very careful in making a Woman to cry... cause God counts her tears!......
The Woman came out from the man’s rib. 
Not from the feet to be stepped on. 
Not from the head to be superior. 
But from your side... to be equal.
Under the arm, to be protected.......
And at the heart’s side, to be Loved.
 

A woman with values and very Worthy

In a brief conversation a man asks a woman:
--What kind of man are you looking for?

-She stays quiet for a moment before looking him in the eyes and replies:
-Do you really want to know?

--He answered: Yes

-She replies:
Being an independent woman of theses times, I’m in the position to ask a man what I can’t do on my own.
I pay all my bills.
I’m in charge of my house with no man’s help.
I’m in the position to ask, what your contribution in my life will be.

--He immediately thought she was referring to money.

-She quickly noted what he had in mind and added: I’m not referring to money.
I need something else.
I need a man that looks for perfection in every aspect of life.

--He looked confused and started wondering what she meant and asked her to explain…

-She replied: I look for someone optimistic, loyal, enthusiastic, modest, kind, with positive attitude, willing to accept his mistakes, learn and improve himself, wishing to have a decent and prosperous life; someone I can have interesting conversations with.
I don’t need someone negative with a simple mind, small thoughts, with no capacity for improvement and unwilling to progress in life.
I need someone that believes in spiritual perfection who I can share my Faith in God with.
I don’t need a man that looks for financial perfection cause I don’t need a financial device.
Someone sensitive enough to understand what I go through in life as a woman, but sufficiently strong to encourage me, cheer me up and never let me down.
I’m looking for someone who respects me and deserves to be respected.
I can’t trust someone who can’t even deal with their own problems. I don’t have a problem with trusting him nor being submissive, kind, and loyal, but he must deserve it.
God made women to help men, but I can’t help someone who can’t help himself.

When she finished expressing her thoughts she looked him in the eyes and seemed even more confused.
--He responded: You are asking for too much.

-She replied: I’m a woman with values and very worthy.
The essential for the heart is invisible to the eyes.

THAT'S GOD...He wants you to talk to Him.


"Have you ever been just sitting there and all of a sudden you feel like doing something nice for someone you care for... 
THAT'S GOD... He talks to you through the Holy Spirit.

"Have you ever been down and out and nobody seems to be around for you to talk to... 
THAT'S GOD...He wants you to talk to Him.

"Have you ever been thinking about somebody that you haven't seen in long time and then next thing you know you see them or receive a phone call from them... 
THAT'S GOD... there is no such thing as 'coincidence.'

"Have you ever received something wonderful that you didn't even ask for, like money in the mail, a debt that had mysteriously been cleared, or a coupon to a department store where you had just seen something you wanted, but couldn't afford... 
THAT'S GOD... He knows the desires of your heart...

"Have you ever been in a situation and you had no clue how it is going to get better, but now you look back on it... 
THAT'S GOD... He passes us through tribulation to see a brighter day...

"Do you think you are reading this by coincidence? Nope! 
That’s God that wants to remind you he’s always with you.

Share the Power of God... In all that we do, we should totally give HIM thanks and our blessings will continue to multiply."

Never lose the Dignity of being a woman.


Never allow a man to make you his slave nor his toy
You were born to love and be loved.

Never allow your heart to suffer for love. Love is an act of happiness not of sadness. Why suffering?

Never allow your eyes to shed tears for someone that can make you laugh but, chooses not to do it.

Never allow your body to be harmed; be aware that is a house for the Holy Spirit who lives in you and was given to you by God; Take care of your body.
Never let anyone put a price on you because you are simply priceless.

Never stay waiting for someone that will not come; even when he promised…

Never let your name to be pronounced in vain by a man that might not even have a real name.

Never allow your time to be wasted by someone that will never really have time for you.

Never let your ears being yelled;
Words that soak into your ears are whispered…...not yelled. Love is the only one that can talk loud.

Never let a passion to blind you, fool you and take you away from reality to a perfect world that don’t exist.

Never let yourself walk after a man that keeps running away from you.

Never let your dreams to be mixed up with theirs; making yours turn into a nightmare.

Never believe that he will come back when he was never really present.

Never believe his promises when you know he only tells you lies.

Never trust he will change when he hasn’t being loyal.

Never get all dressed and pretty to wait for a man that has no eyes to see you.

Never use your uterus to conceive a baby with someone who will not be a father for your child.

Never let you depend on a man, don’t make yourself think that you are handicapped.

Never allow yourself to be with a man that doesn’t respect you.

Never let the pain, sadness, loneliness, hatred, resentment, jealousy, rancor take the shine of your eyes and your strength away.

Never let yourself to lose the Dignity of being a valuable woman.

The Attitude of People Makes the Difference

The difference between the poor countries and the rich ones is not the age of the country.
This can be shown by countries like India & Egypt, that are more than 2000 years old and are poor.

On the other hand, Canada, Australia & New Zealand, that 150 years ago were inexpressive, today are developed countries and are rich.

The difference between poor & rich countries does not reside in the available natural resources.
Japan has a limited territory, 80% mountainous, inadequate for agriculture & cattle raising, but it is the second world economy. The country is like an immense floating factory, importing  raw material from the  whole world and exporting manufactured products.

Another example is Switzerland, which does not plant cocoa but has the best chocolate of the world. In its little territory they raise animals and plant the soil during 4 months per year. Not enough, they produce dairy products of the best quality. It is a small country that transmits an image of security, order & labor, which made it the world’s strong safe.

Executives from rich countries who communicate with their counterparts in poor countries show that there is no significant intellectual difference.
Race or skin color are also not important:immigrants labeled lazy in their countries of origin are the productive power in rich European countries.
What is the difference then?
The difference is the attitude of the people, framed along the years by the education & the culture.
On analyzing the behavior of the people in rich & developed countries, we find that the great majority follow the following principles in their lives:
1. Ethics, as a basic principle.
2. Integrity.
3. Responsibility.
4. Respect to the laws & rules.
5. Respect to the rights of  other citizens.
6. Work loving.
7. Strive for saving & investment.
8. Will of super action.
9. Punctuality.
In poor countries, only a minority follow these basic principles in their daily life.
We are not poor because we lack natural resources or because nature was cruel to us.  
We are poor because we lack attitude. We lack the will to comply with and teach these functional principles of rich & developed societies. 



SUCCESS -- is closer than you think; it's a matter of having a positive ATTITUDE.

Attitude is more important than facts.  It is more important than the past, than education, than money, than circumstances, than failures, than successes, than what other people think or say or do.
