Roll out the carpet I, be the stream, But let that carpet not be your dream, few are gods, most are not; few would drink carefully , most, so selfish would after, make it muddy, for the latter the world is only about their lust, after they have had their fill, others can get lost;…

Not Everything You Need Is Necessary.
Which question about life gives you sleepless nights? Which answer about life you believe if you had, life for you would cease to be meaningless and begin to come alive? The answers you know are mysteries that blind others to the truth, but if you would share and exchange your wisdom and ignorance, you would…
Marriage: A Home Of Thorny Spines, Bees And Honey.
See your marriage as a home, built on a cactus tree with thorny spines, on which bees ‘brew’ sweet honey in combs: to get to the honey, you must withstand painful spines and stingy bees, as the bees will do everything not to give you their honey, but you must persevere and endure for love…
William Arthur Ward- Feeling gratitude and not expressing it is like wrapping a present and not giving it.
You can keep the love of your life, with great words of gratitude, you can keep your best staff by letting them know, they are good: finding and keeping an invaluable asset is difficult, you can keep it with generosity of simple words, invest it in an ocean of gratitude to increase its value and…
Now, you don’t need wings to fly, let your belief and a strong will carry you through life’s trials.
Now, you don’t need wings to fly, let your belief and a strong will carry you through life’s trials: trying to do too many things, would only stretch you thin, be frugal with your time, it is in short supply: it is not every invite that you must honour, don’t hesitate to say ‘No’ and…
You are a survivor.
You are a survivor; you survived a miscarriage and stillbirth, you are a survivor, remember your first day at school, you survived that too, you are a survivor, you have survived numerous rejections, a heartbreak and a big loss, you are a survivor, now as an adult, though situations look so hopeless and so difficult,…
George Eliot- Our deeds determine us, as much as we determine our deeds.
Words alone, then, wish for the rainbow before it rains, both are a barren hope: can you reap where you didn’t sow? No! So, tie those fantastic wishes, to well thought out deeds, for no matter how many times you use a basket to fetch water from the stream, you will still end frustrated and…
Old Eyes Can Still See The Stars.
No age is too old and too late to dream and begin to live purposefully. It is only too late when you resign to the fate of a loser, a passer-by in life or also-ran. At every given time in this world, something is happening and waiting for someone, regardless of age, to challenge their…
Heal the heart, it’s where it really matters.
The drop of rain on the palm, the morning and it’s tender mercy, the feather on the sand, it’s no help to wonder and worry, cryptic thoughts written on the heart, no outsider can decipher, speak words that dance and increase laughter, spread love and heal many hearts, because many are suffering in the heart:…
Voltaire – No problem can withstand the assault of sustained thinking.
No problem can withstand the assault of sustained thinking, so focus your mind on it without blinking, a pressing problem causes restlessness, but don’t be distressed, rather let it push you to your best, to a mind set that would ask right questions: and fetch answers that provide the solution.
Dale Carnegie -Act enthusiastic and you will be enthusiastic.
You want to be enthusiastic, then act happy and be happy, in that mood, you will really be excited: by the little you own, an awareness that should boost your confidence, to go in search of more honey for your bread, and with happiness as the currency, disappointment is checked: be enthusiastic about life, some…
Robert Kennedy- One-fifth of the people are against everything all the time.
You don’t need the crowd’s approval, you need personal conviction: to go for your heart desire, so, don’t delay one more second, listen to that gentle voice, speaking to you from your heart, rise above the crowd and their noise, their discordant tunes would only hold you back, from going forward to tread where they…
