You are So Blessed...

You Are So Blessed
If you woke up this morning with more health than illness,
you are more blessed than the million who won't survive the week.

If you have never experienced the danger of battle,
the loneliness of imprisonment, the agony of torture or
the pangs of starvation, you are ahead of 20 million people
around the world.
If you attend a place of worship without fear of harassment, arrest, torture, or death,
you are more blessed than almost three billion people in the world.

If you have food in your refrigerator, clothes on your back, a roof over your head and a place to sleep, you are richer than 75% of this world.

If you have money in the bank, in your wallet, and spare change in a dish someplace,
you are among the top 8% of the world's wealthy.

If you hold up your head with a smile on your face and are truly thankful,
you are blessed because the majority can, but most do not.

If you can hold someone's hand, hug them or even touch them on the shoulder,
you are blessed because you can offer God's healing touch.

If you can read this message, you are more blessed than over
two billion people in the world that cannot read anything at all.

You are so blessed in ways you may never even know.

Silence

SILENCE

Silence is the best language for communication.
It helps us understand and realize the eternal truths
about the self, God and the world.

In silence we are able to comprehend and express
sincerely and powerfully the true values of the soul
such as peace, love and joy.

Silence is not the absence of thoughts but it is a state
in which the mind is engaged in pure elevated thoughts
that nurture these values within.

The power of silence develops all mental and spiritual powers that are needed to tackle various situations successfully.

Wisdom From Humor 88

The Three Wishes
A man walking along a beach came upon a lamp. He picked
it up and rubbed it. A genie shot out and granted him three
wishes.
The man first wished for a million dollars and a million
dollars appeared near him.
Then he wished for a Ferrari and a Ferrari appeared behind.
“As for my last wish,” the man said, “I’d like to be irresistible to women.”
POOF! The man turned into a box of chocolates.
Reflection
Not all your wishes turn out as you expect. Be prepared for disappointment. It is a fact of life that sometimes
* one gets what one does not want
* one does not get what one wants
* things or people one loves get separated away
* one encounters things or people one does not like.

Reflecting on the way things really are, let us cultivate the mind to have peace and equanimity in the face of changing fortunes.
