I got an email messages from a friend. That keeps me realized and choose to see goodness in everything around me and soon appreciate my life more. I choose to see the good side of every event, thing or person in my life and I’ll never run out of blessings to count. I want to share it with you the message.
I was walking down the street when I was accosted by a particularly dirty and shabby-looking homeless woman who asked me for a couple of dollar for dinner. I took out my wallet, got out ten dollars and asked, ‘If I give you this money, will you buy wine with it instead of dinner?’ ‘No I had to stop drinking years ago’, the homeless woman told me. ‘Will you use it to go shopping instead of buying food?’ I asked. ‘No I don’t waste time for shopping,’ the homeless woman said. I need to spend all my time to stay alive.’ ‘Will you spend this on a beauty salon instead of food?’ I asked. ‘Are you NUTS!’ replied the homeless woman. I haven’t had my hair done in 20 years!’ ‘Well, I said, I’m not going to give you the money. Instead, I’m going to take you out for dinner with my husband and me tonight.’ The homeless woman was shocked. ‘Won’t your husband be furious with you for doing that? I know I’m dirty, and probably smell pretty disgusting.’ I said that’s okay. It’s important for him to see what woman looks like after she has given up shopping, hair appointments, and wine.
I just know your laughing! It’s good for us to laugh and make a joke on a realistic moment of our life. Let love embrace our life as God loves us…

Life is like a game of chess, in which there are infinite number of complex moves possible. The choice is open but the move contains within itself all future moves. One is free to choose, but what follows is the result of one’s choice. From the consequences of one’s action there is never any scape. This past few days, I came to think about my life and my future. I’m not getting younger at all. I’m getting tired of my life, of being alone. I have to do something. I can say I’m happy and contented of what I have, my children are okay now. But I feel there is something missing. My friends told me, I need someone to make my life colorful and a someone who will take good care of me. But it’s not that easy. Seeds don’t grow into trees in a few hours and bear fruit tomorrow. Babies don’t learn alphabet overnight. I need to put in all my effort to gain it. One requirements of life is the ability to makes choices. I need to know how to look at myself clearly. I believe there is someones for me. Believing that there are powers at work in my life and I do share to make my dreams come true. Those who believe that life is an upward journey are those who have life enhancing beliefs. I see what I really believe in. My life today is the result of my attitudes and choices in the past. My life tomorrow will be the result of my attitudes and the choices I make today.

Anger

Anger can be witty or just plain catty. But the most commonly identified form of anger is the exploding temper. People struggle with that form of anger because it seems so childish. Adults, after all, are to be more subtle and clever in expressing anger. That’s why we have so much trouble with anger. Many of us are very angry but almost totally unaware of it. Others are angry and know it but feel trapped because they don’t know how to get rid of those feelings. When I was a child, I express my anger through crying, after I cried I feel better. And now that I’m adult I do cry sometimes but I know how to control my anger. Sometimes I pretend I don’t have anger, but there is chaos within. A major internal riot threatens to erupt at the slightest provocation. Many of us are confused about anger because somewhere along the way we were taught that anger should not exist in our lives. We need to reassured that anger is a perfectly valid and natural human emotion. There are times when I have every reason to feel angry. People let me down, some tries to hurt me or my family. I need to feel that anger, I accept it, for it is part of my emotional being. I’m human and it is valid human emotions. Anger is a killer emotion but it makes us healthy and human.
