Aging is a matter of choice

Growing older annually is inevitable 

Aging is a matter of choice

#The #catalyst ! 

With increasing age , pace of ones activity should increase, not slow down,  as time starts running out .

Time to accomplish and do all those things you want to do and those that, you did not so far ,in the mistaken belief that the luxury of time was yours . 

So much yet to be said and communicated , so much yet to be created . It's sometimes overwhelming .

There are so many dreams yet  to be lived and so many people yet  to be served before the Trumpets sound - a moment towards which I am fast hurtling 

So friends if you sometimes wonder why I am so much in haste to say and do so much and you find this oppressive or irritating  please understand that somewhere I believe I am running out of time ! 😊

Competition ? What's that ?

#lessons from #nature 

Competition ? What's that? 

 Enough has been provided for every one to get what we need (with the right effort. )

Let's be #there , #present , to #notice the #grains of #opportunity and make the moves required with sincerity of purpose

Commanding Respect

Bending over backwards to be nice , understanding and helpful to others  who are not on the same page as you , yet - --

Can often  lead to loss of Self - Worth and Self - Respect due to the receivers  inability to read your intentions and to understand them and you . 

Maintaining Self - Respect or Worth  is not part of the  Ego or Attitude it is just a way of retaining a balance  and possibly makes more logic to those who do not and have not known  #altruism in their life 

#Getting #Respect  vs #Commanding #Respect

Guardian of the Morning Heights

In the soft glow of early morning, the peacock stood proudly upon the towering rock, watching the forest awaken beneath the gentle touch of dawn. Golden sunlight drifted across the hills, illuminating the dry woodland with hues of honey and pale emerald. Cool morning air carried silence through the valley, broken only by the whisper of leaves and distant birdsong. Against the rugged stone, the peacock’s shimmering blue and emerald plumage glowed like a living jewel of the wilderness. Majestic and serene, he appeared as the first sentinel of the day, welcoming the rising sun while the vast forest slowly stirred from its night-long slumber beneath the calm sky.

Regret is Meaningless

What IS  to  BE 

WILL BE 

Regrets of the past are #wasted #emotion 

And then , when one is #dead , nothing matters - any more - does it ! ?

Yes if I go NOW I will go content and who cares what they write in my obituary ! 

It's been a good life so far - the thrill of the climb and the excitement of the downhill knowing that ' rock - bottom ' is firm ground to start building again !

The Lighter side of Life

😀😀😀😀😀😀

Some old funny stories ( about my favourite people ) which came out of the woodwork .

Goes to show that even without work the mind is never idle ... 

Did i hear

" #mind - #what #mind ??!!!

======

Lady to Pet Shop salesperson about an intended purchase 

" Is this dog of good pedigree ? " 

Salesperson : " #Pedigree? !!! Madam , if this dog could talk , he would'nt talk to either of us ! " 

😀😀

=========

Once , outside a Supermarket in the U.K.  two dogs , one a Yorkshire Terrier ( YT ) ( known for phlegmatic honesty ) and a Russian poodle ( RP )  who had just come from a luxurious life in Moscow , were left side by side by their owners .

As is common in such cases a conversation ensued 

RP : "( Sigh ) In Moscow we used to eat caviar out of silver bowls and got some relishes as well. Times were good ! " 

YT : ( Characteristically ) " Then why the @#$& did you come here ? " 

RP : ( Raising an eyebrow ) " Well , one likes to bark once in a while , doesnt one ! ?" 

😀😀😀

========

In a circus there was a dog who did miraculous tricks with spelling bees and maths . This drew away the crowd from others and the competitors , alarmed by their low sales , kidnapped the dog and cut it open to discover the secret 

Out walked a cigar smoking midget saying 

" Man ! That tail wagging part was difficult " 😀😀😀

Hopefulness is NOT  

A Way of Thinking 

it is 

A Way of Life ! 

 Is failure the spur that makes one gallop ? 

The coincidence in all these stories is  the common factor - failure  and also the element of rejection in most .

These are just those that became famously known 

It's almost as if the Universe designed their setback to better prepare them for their eventual roles

It could be doing that with you and me too !
