The Lord will either calm your storm . . . or allow it to rage while He calms you.....

“I believe in the sun even if it isn't shining.  I believe in love even when I am alone.  I believe in God even when He is silent.”
Did you know, that everything happens for a reason.? And trust me, I’m not joking. I completely believe.... that no matter what happens........ things will work out. You sometimes need to let go.......

At the moment.... all this ideally applies to me..... There’s something that I’m just desperate for...... and it’s getting really impossible for me to think about anything else..... But you know what, someone just told me...... That sometimes... you just have to let go.... All I can do is wait..... So, I just hope that now.... God will either calm the storm... or calm me while the ‘storm’ in my mind rages on...............

I know God will not give me anything I can't handle.  I just wish that He didn't trust me so much.  ~Mother Teresa

Nobody can make you feel inferior without your consent. ~Eleanor Roosevelt


             Do you believe in yourself? I do. I think, that if you really want to do something, you could do anything. It’s got everything to do with your mind. If you think you can do it, You Can. And, If you think you can’t..... You Can’t.  Now really, if you’re imagining something like getting the stars on a silver platter is like ‘ I can do anything’ is not really what I meant.

“ Arise, Awake... And Stop not until the goal is achieved..........” This was said by Swami Vivekananda. If true effort and dedication is devoted to any task... the it will reach completion.
               You know, sometimes we do doubt ourselves..... I mean, even  I sometimes ask myself this question, ‘ that can I really manage this? Or should I forget about it....” It’s really easy to give into that temptation of quitting,  you know. That offer of giving up is the easy way out..... BUT...... Do you really want to choose that option? I had heard this sentence a long time back - " Winners NEVER quit..... And Quitters NEVER Win"

You know, when you achieve what you set out for....... that feeling is just like..... you’re on the top of the world.  And at the end of it... you’ll realize... it was all worth it.....  
We are what we are..... and we should be proud of it.... At least I am. I’m completely happy and proud of the way I am. Okay, I accept, I may not have the most killing figure , or the absolutely gorgeous looks. Neither am I like someone who might catch your eye in the first meeting.... BUT, I am the way I am, even if it means I would be frank with anyone or would stand by my convictions... But that’s what describes me. It’s like saying....
“ I’m not the most perfect person out there... But I am what I am, and that’s someone You Can Never Be...........”  Never change your personality... or what you stand for....or your convictions just because someone else does not agree with it. It’s their problem, and not yours...... So, next time anyone asks you to change and you decide take their words to heart..... just  give it a thought.........Would you fight for what you are.....the way you are..... and what you can do.... or would you rather give up?

Just believe in yourself...... And no goal is unattainable.  It may seem unsurmountable..... But Keep telling your heart, that you can do it. And  You Will.

It took me a long time not to judge myself through someone else's eyes.  ~Sally Field

Faith is the bird that sings when the dawn is still dark. ~ Rabindranath Tagore

“ So I made the choice ,
 I let the fear in.
Let it take over. Let it do it’s thing.
But only for 5 seconds .  That was  all I was gonna give it.
So I started to count.

One.. two.. three..four..five.
And then it was gone..........”

I am scared. And, I’m tired of thinking about the consequences. All I know, is that it has to work out. You know, it’s not easy, to just try and convince yourself, that everythings gonna be fine......... But, well, sometimes we really don’t have a choice.

                       Sometimes, it so happens ,that we don’t know what to believe... what to trust. Has this ever happened with you? You know you want something, 'real bad', and you know you'll do anything for it. You're so obsessed with it, that all the time you think about it...and that's all that you could ever wish for..... You want it to work out, and finally... you reach a point, when you don't know how to think further....what to do further....


 I went through this phase recently... and I just figured.. that I need to keep faith.
There’s something that I desperately want... or rather should I say, I just need something to work out in my life. If it does, then I think it would be the best gift ever for me, and my future depends on that very decision that God will make for me. But, no amount of thinking about it will change anything, will it?All that would happen, is that I'll torment myself thinking about it..

                           So I decided, I’m gonna keep faith, and let things work out from now on. Everything's not in my hand, is it? And sometimes...... I think it's just better to let things be......




For those who believe,
No proof is necessary.
For those who don't believe,

No proof is possible.

____________________________________________________________________

       Faith is staying focused on the positive and being grateful for what you
have........  Faith is trusting that the right answer to a problem will come to you - it's waiting patiently until things get resolved - knowing that prayer can be
answered in many ways. I don’t know what will happen, But. I will keep faith.. that whatever happens......will be for the good.......

“Faith is not belief without proof, but trust without reservation”

Attitudes are contagious. Are yours worth catching?


Can you describe your nature in one  word? Lively, responsible , disciplined, cheerful , positive , motivating , bold , cribber, loser, negative  or anything else? Your nature decides your attitude, and that’s what your attitude is.
Being happy doesn’t mean everything is perfect. It just means that you’ve decided to look beyond the imperfections……….Whatever problem or situation you are in, it’s your attitude that will decide what you’ll do next. If someone with a negative attitude is faced with a problem, he or she will simply give up. But , if someone with a positive attitude , will approach the problem and look for ways to get around it and solve it. So, in the end, it’s going to be you attitude that will determine what you’ll do.
You know , we are influenced a lot by the people who surround us. If we are always surrounded by positive thinkers and people with right attitude , we eventually end up adopting that attitude ourselves. But , the other side of the same coin is , that if we’re surrounded by negative minded people , the negative vibes do get to us. Someone has very rightly said , that what you think, you become,.. So, if you dream of something big , keep it in your mind…… Live it in your dreams… and have that attitude…that it’s going happen.

Sometimes , we wonder that what’s going wrong. We plan everything, and even check out the pros and cons of our plans. And then, something goes wrong, and we wonder why it happens , and then complain that it always happens Sometimes , things won’t always happen as we want them to. But , we should not lose hope. Keep faith….. and try and see what went wrong…. Improve that mistake… and move on. Every experience will teach you something. You have to learn and move on.
Unless we work from within, how can any kind of outside help or luck help you? Inspiration has to come from within and many times… it so happens… that it’s the attitude that makes all the difference.
 The difference between can and cannot are only three letters. Three letters that determine your life's direction. Being positive or negative are habits of thoughts that have a very strong influence on life . Positive and negative are directions. Which direction do you choose?
