@@@ 8 Types Of Friends You Need To Have in Your Life @@@

1. A Loyal Best Friend

This is the kind of friend who lets you be a hot mess and knows all of your deepest and darkest secrets, but still loves you all the same.


2. A Fearless Adventurer.

We all need an adventurous friend who will pull us out of our shells and introduce us to new ideas, cultures, philosophies, and activities.


3. A Brutally Honest Confidant.

Friends are supposed to be honest with each other. If you find someone who is brutally honest with you (in a constructive way), then hold on to this person! People like that are hard to come by these days.


4. A Wise Mentor.

We all need a friend who inspires us to be better people without making us feel inadequate. Plus, being around such a person will challenge us to better ourselves every day.


5. A Friend From a Different Culture.

If everyone had a friend from a different culture, the world would be a much better place. Being in a cross-cultural friendship allows you to explore customs, values, and traditions outside of your own culture.


6. A Polar Opposite.

Instead of constantly surrounding yourself with like-minded people, try to break out of your comfort zone and befriend people who hold opposing views. They will help open your eyes to different world views and you’ll learn to accept people who don’t see the world exactly the way you see it.


7. A Friendly Neighbor.

These days, a lot of people don’t know their own neighbors. It’s a shame, because some neighbors can be the nicest and most helpful people ever.


8. A Work Pal.

Your work pal doesn’t have to be your best friend outside of work. They just need to be someone you click with on some level, and if you two hit it off exceptionally well, you can always start hanging out with them outside of the office.
I know that a Teacher is different from a Guru, but never knew that they are different in so many ways.
I know "All Gurus are Teachers; But all teachers are not Gurus".
If you get not only a Guru but also a "Satguru", you are the most blessed one.


A teacher takes responsibility of your growth
A Guru makes you responsible for your growth.

A teacher gives you things you do not have and require
A Guru takes away things you have and do not require.

A Guru questions your answer

A teacher helps you get out of the maze
A Guru destroys your maze

A Guru strips you naked and prepares you for the inner journey

A teacher is a guide on the path

A teacher is a pupil what a father is to son
A Guru is to pupil what mother is to her child

One can always find a teacher
But Guru has to find and accept you

A teacher leads you by the hand
A Guru leads you by example

When a teacher finishes with you, you graduate
When a Guru finishes with you, you celebrate

$$$$$ Work, Family, Health, Friends & Spirit $$$$$

"Imagine life as a game in which you are juggling some five balls in the air. 
Name them -Work, Family, Health, Friends Spirit.

You Are keeping all of them in the air. 

You will soon understand that work is a rubber ball. If you drop it, it will bounce back. 

But the other four balls - 
Family, Health, Friends and Spirit - are made of glass. 
If you drop one of these,
they will be irrevocably scuffed, marked, nicked, damaged or even shattered. They will never be the same. 

You must understand that and strive for it."

!!!!!!!!THE TONGUE CAN BE YOUR WORST ENEMY!!!!!!!!

THE TONGUE CAN BE YOUR WORST ENEMY!


Your words, your dreams, and your thoughts have power to create conditions in your life. What you speak about, you can bring about. 

If you keep saying you can't stand your job, you might lose your job.

If you keep saying you can't stand your body, your body can become sick.

If you keep saying you can't stand your car, your car could be stolen or just stop operating.

If you keep saying you're broke, guess what? You'll always be broke.

If you keep saying you can't trust a man or trust a woman, you will always find someone in your life to hurt and betray you.

If you keep saying you can't find a job, you will remain unemployed.

If you keep saying you can't find someone to love you or believe in you, your very thought will attract more experiences to confirm your beliefs.

If you keep talking about a divorce or break up in a relationship, then you might end up with it. 

Turn your thoughts and conversations around to be more positive and power packed with faith, hope, love and action.

Don't be afraid to believe that you can have what you want and deserve.

Watch your Thoughts, they become words.
Watch your Words, they become actions.
Watch your Actions, they become habits.
Watch your Habits, they become character.
Watch your Character, for it becomes your Destiny. 


The minute you settle for less than you deserve, you get even less than you settle for.

Thought I would share this with you. 


In the search for Me, I discovered Truth.
In the search for Truth, I discovered Love.
In the search for Love, I discovered GOD.
And in God, I have found Everything. 

Be Blessed

Watch how your circumstances and situations begin to change when you change the way you speak.

'Life is like melted butter. . once things cool down, it can be reshaped!'

$$ Pencil and Rubber and You $$

Pencil and Rubber and You

Pencil: I'm sorryEraser: For what? You didn't do anything wrong.
Pencil: I'm sorry because you get hurt because of me. Whenever I made a mistake, you're always there to erase it. But as you make my mistakes vanish, you lose a part of yourself. You get smaller and smaller each time.
Eraser: That's true. But I don't really mind. You see, I was made to do this. I was made to help you whenever you do something wrong. Even though one day, I know I'll be gone and you'll replace me with a new one, I'm actually happy with my job. So please, stop worrying. I hate seeing you sad.
I found this conversation between the pencil and the eraser very inspirational.
Parents are like the eraser whereas their children are the pencil. They're always there for their children, cleaning up their mistakes. Sometimes along the way, they get hurt, and become smaller / older, and eventually pass on.

Though their children will eventually find someone new (spouse), but parents are still happy with what they do for their children, and will always hate seeing their precious ones worrying, or sad. All my life, I've been the pencil.

And it pains me to see the eraser that is my parents getting smaller and smaller each day. For I know that one day, all that I'm left with would be eraser shavings and memories of what I used to have.

Moral: We never know the love of our parents for us till we have become parents.
