Faith


Those who thank God even in trials,
turn the burden into blessings.
So keep your faith close to your 
heart and God will provide.


Beautiful People


Inspiration, Nature

All those who love Nature she loves in return, and will richly reward, not perhaps with the good things, as they are commonly called, but with the best things of this world-not with money and titles, horses and carriages, but with bright and happy thoughts, contentment and peace of mind.
JOHN LUBBOCK, The Beauties of Nature

Strong Women Quote

“I want to do is because I want to do it. Women must try to do things as men have tried. When they fail, their failure must be but a challenge to others.” - Amelia Earhart

Wonderful Inspiration

Life will break you. Nobody can protect you from that, and living alone won’t either, for solitude will also break you with its yearning. You have to love. You have to feel. It is the reason you are here on earth. You are here to risk your heart. You are here to be swallowed up. And when it happens that you are broken, or betrayed, or left, or hurt, or death brushes near, let yourself sit by an apple tree and listen to the apples falling all around you in heaps, wasting their sweetness. Tell yourself you tasted as many as you could.
– Louise Erdrich

The Elephant Rope

As a man was passing the elephants, he suddenly stopped,
 confused by the fact that these huge creatures were being 
held by only a small rope tied to their front leg. 
No chains, no cages. 
It was obvious that the elephants could, at anytime, 
break away from their bonds but for some reason, they did not.

He saw a trainer nearby and asked why these animals just stood there and made no attempt to get away. “Well,” trainer said, 
“when they are very young and much smaller we use the same 
size rope to tie them and, at that age, it’s enough to hold them. 
As they grow up, they are conditioned to believe they cannot 
break away. They believe the rope can still hold them, so they never try to break free.”

The man was amazed. These animals could at any time
 break free from their bonds but because they believed
 they couldn't, they were stuck right where they were.

Like the elephants, how many of us go through life
 hanging onto a belief that we cannot do something, 
simply because we failed at it once before?

Failure is part of learning; we should never give up 
the struggle in life.
