Being Fair

"It's not fair! Not fair!"

I hear that a lot in school whenever someone loses in a competition or something like that. I say that, too. But I know this: Life is NEVER fair.

In all those games we play, there are always rules, mainly for the purpose of being fair. But how about LIFE?

Someone might get something you want. Someone might be more or less successful than you. does that matter?

Being content, we will never need any fairness in this world. If we are satisfied with what we have and grateful for it, we don't need to worry whether it is fair or not... unless what we are satisfied about is against someone else.

What about when it comes to YOUR turn to being fair? How do you deal with it when, for example, two of your little siblings want cake, and there are three pieces? In this situation, it's easy: give them a cake and a half each. But you see, we don't have to fuss over small matters like this. If one of your siblings is willing to give up their share of cake, it will seem fair no matter what, because they're satisfied.

What, in life, do we think fair and unfair?

Gratitude

"You must be grateful for what you have." How many times have we heard that? Lots. But how many of us succeed to do it?

Not many people are aware of how much "danger" being ungrateful can be. Without being grateful, we will never be satisfied with what we have, in ourselves, and other people.

And without being fulfilled, we will be working for our whole life. We can never enjoy the fun of life. We can never BE, what is the use of this?!

Being grateful can make one a happier person.

BE HAPPIER...

NOW!!!!!!

Doing your Best

Did you know that every single thing you do, every step, every move, is crucial to all life on this planet? 


  And now that you know you matter so much, why not put your all into being a contribution.No, the best contribution you can be.

  But remember...Be your BEST, not your PERFECT. That's rule Number 1 of being the best you can. No goals that are too high, no expectations at all. No pressure!
  
  Rule 2? Don't limit yourself. Oh, well...if you must have a limit, the sky's the limit. Happy? But if you aspire to be a astronaut or something like that, the borders of the universe is the limit. I've said enough.


  Rule 3: Never, ever, ever, take other people's opinions personally. Really, some people love what you do...the key word being SOME. Not everyone loves your ideas and thoughts, you know. But are you supposed to care? No! You're you, and that's what matters. 


  Well, three rules are enough for starters, huh?
Remember: The world needs you the way you are...at your best!

Breakfast at McDonald's



This is a good story and is true, please read it all the way through until the end! (After the story, there are some very interesting facts!)

This is a story someone forwarded to me, and it's very meaningful, so I decided to share it with everyone out there.




I am a mother of three (ages 14, 12, 3) and have recently completed my college degree.




The last class I had to take was Sociology.




The teacher was absolutely inspiring with the qualities that I wish every human being had been graced with.




Her last project of the term was called, 'Smile.'




The class was asked to go out and smile at three people and document their reactions.








I am a very friendly person and always smile at everyone and say hello anyway. So, I thought this would be a piece of cake,

literally.





Soon after we were assigned the project, my husband, youngest son, and I went out to McDonald's one crisp March morning.





It was just our way of sharing special playtime with our son.





We were standing in line, waiting to be served, when all of a sudden everyone around us began to back away, and then
even my husband did.





I did not move an inch... an overwhelming feeling of panic welled up inside of me as I turned to see why they had moved.





As I turned around I smelled a horrible 'dirty body' smell, and there standing behind me were two poor homeless men.





As I looked down at the short gentleman, close to me, he was 'smiling'





His beautiful sky blue eyes were full of God's Light as he searched for acceptance.





He said, 'Good day' as he counted the few coins he had been clutching..





The second man fumbled with his hands as he stood behind his friend.. I realized the second man was mentally challenged and the blue-eyed gentleman was his salvation.





I held my tears as I stood there with them.





The young lady at the counter asked him what they wanted..





He said, 'Coffee is all Miss' because that was all they could afford. (If they wanted to sit in the restaurant and warm up, they had to buy something. He just wanted to be warm).





Then I really felt it - the compulsion was so great I almost reached out and embraced the little man with the blue eyes.



That is when I noticed all eyes in the

restaurant were set on me, judging

my every action.





I smiled and asked the young lady behind the counter to give me two more breakfast meals on a separate tray.





I then walked around the corner to the table that the men had chosen as a resting spot. I put the tray on the table and laid my hand on the blue-eyed gentleman's cold hand..





He looked up at me, with tears in his eyes, and said, 'Thank you.'





I leaned over, began to pat his hand and said, 'I did not do this for you. God is here working through me to give you hope.'





I started to cry as I walked away to join my husband and son. When I sat down my husband smiled at me and said, 'That is why God gave you to me, Honey, to give me hope..'





We held hands for a moment and at that time, we knew that only because of the Grace that we had been given were we able to give.





We are not church goers, but we are believers.





That day showed me the pure Light of God's sweet love.





I returned to college, on the last evening of class, with this story in hand.





I turned in 'my project' and the instructor read it.





Then she looked up at me and said, 'Can I share this?'





I slowly nodded as she got the attention of the class.





She began to read and that is when I knew that we as human beings and being part of God share this need to heal people and to be healed.





In my own way I had touched the people at McDonald's, my son,the instructor, and every soul that shared the classroom on the last night I spent as a college student.





I graduated with one of the biggest lessons I would ever learn:





UNCONDITIONAL ACCEPTANCE.





Much love and compassion is sent to each and every person who may read this and learn how to





LOVE PEOPLE AND USE THINGS -

NOT LOVE THINGS AND USE PEOPLE..





There is an Angel sent to watch over you.





In order for her to work, you must pass this on to the people you want watched over.





An Angel wrote:

Many people will walk in and out of your life, but only true friends will leave footprints in your heart





To handle yourself, use your head..

To handle others, use your heart.









God Gives every bird it's food, but He does not throw it into its nest.

Happiness is only TRUE when it is Shared

It will take just 37 seconds to read this and change your thinking.. Two men, both seriously ill, occupied the same hospital room. One man was allowed to sit up in his bed for an hour each afternoon to help drain the fluid from his lungs. His bed was next to the room ' s only window. The other man had to spend all his time flat on his back. The men talked for hours on end. They spoke of their wives and families, their homes, their jobs, their involvement in the military service, where they had been on vacation. Every afternoon, when the man in the bed by the window could sit up, he would pass the time by describing to his roommate all the things he could see outside the window. The man in the other bed began to live for those one hour periods where his world would be broadened and enlivened by all the activity and color of the world outside. The window overlooked a park with a lovely lake. Ducks and swans played on the water while children sailed their model boats. Young lovers walked arm in arm amidst flowers of every color and a fine view of the city skyline could be seen in the distance. As the man by the window described all this in exquisite details, the man on the other side of the room would close his eyes and imagine this picturesque scene. One warm afternoon, the man by the window described a parade passing by. Although the other man could not hear the band - he could see it in his mind ' s eye as the gentleman by the window portrayed it with descriptive words. Days, weeks and months passed. One morning, the day nurse arrived to bring water for their baths only to find the lifeless body of the man by the window, who had died peacefully in his sleep. She was saddened and called the hospital attendants to take the body away. As soon as it seemed appropriate, the other man asked if he could be moved next to the window. The nurse was happy to make the switch, and after making sure he was comfortable, she left him alone. Slowly, painfully, he propped himself up on one elbow to take his first look at the real world outside. He strained to slowly turn to look out the window besides the bed. It faced a blank wall. The man asked the nurse what could have compelled his deceased roommate who had described such wonderful things outside this window. The nurse responded that the man was blind and could not even see the wall. She said, 'Perhaps he just wanted to encourage you.' Epilogue: There is tremendous happiness in making others happy, despite our own situations. Shared grief is half the sorrow, but happiness when shared, is doubled. If you want to feel rich, just count all the things you have that money can ' t buy. 'Today is a gift, that is why it is called The Present ..' Do not keep this letter. Just forward it to your friends to whom you wish blessings. You rock.

Here is the test to find whether your mission on Earth is finished: if you're alive, it isn't.

So true...

Why are we alive here?

To play meaninglessly everyday?

To do things that are not helping community a single bit?

To do things we don't like to?

We are here for a purpose...only you know what.

Some people are here to bring their heart's song to this world.

Some are here to give others their wisdom.

Some are here to teach.

Some are here to make things lighter.

Some are here to make life easier for others.

Some give,

Some take.

Some take action,

Some tell others to take action.

What do you do?
