Poem for Hope

An Inspirational Thought, Poem for Hope, written by Catherine Pulsifer - Reflect on the verses and words of wisdom in the poem below. Hope is the anticipation of an event or an occurrence. Our own individual hopes are our own desires, or could be considered our wish for the future. Hope can give us a feeling of optimism when we are feeling discouraged. As Diogenes once said, "Hope is the dream of a waking man." 

 

As long as we have hope,
we have direction,
the energy to move,
and the map to move by.
We have a hundred alternatives,
a thousand paths and infinity of dreams.
Hopeful, we are halfway to where we want to go;
Hopeless, we are lost forever.

Hope is one of the prime differences between successful people and those who can only see failure. Successful people have hope because they can clearly see their goals. People who only see failure have no hope because they see no light, they set no goals, and they see nothing accomplished. Successful people see alternatives and are willing to try different ways. People who only see failure are unable to see another way and give up to easily. With hope you are halfway to where you want to go; by setting your goals, and taking the action to achieve them, you will see your hope turn into your reality!

Take care Dear Lynne.

A rose from each garden

Strength is men's glory , beauty is women's glory.
Gathering books is gathering happiness.
A brother is someone who gives hearty pieces of advice.
Live proudly , or die proudly.
You can't get everything you want.
Talk and behave towards people according to their mental age.
Never be the slave of anyone , God made us free.

Personal Perception

Little Act of Kindness

If we will just open our mind there are a lot of good things we can do for others. One doesn't have to pattern oneself from others to be helpful. Most ofen than not, mimicking ones good act or deeds just create the impression of insincerity. The act of helping others would depend on us alone. Helping others should not bring about a feeling of regret but joy. It should not lead you to be boastful of the act but instead self-effacing or undistinguished or just be ordinary and quiet.

In our world now, where sincerity is often concealed it is best to understand and be heedful of everyone's good deed or act. Some people or group of people may successfully hide their intentions now but, this is only for the time being... it cannot be hidden forever. Time will reveal the true colors of everything. When that time comes, we have our own selves to decide what's best for us.

The Celebration of the Century.

Everyone gets excited to witness any type of wedding. Whether you are related to the couple to be wed or not... whether it's a mass wedding or a personal one... everybody wants to be a witness on that very special day of celebration. This is one thing the future couple should be proud of. I think for the new couple, to witness the happiness of seeing everybody's excitement is something the new couple will always keep in their heart forever. I think really it's a fairytale story. Like in the books I have read before... that kept me awake for days to finish one book.

I also enjoyed reading in the Bible about  "The Wedding at Cana." Where I have observed while reading the story that  everybody in that small town in Galilee was invited to that wedding. Just so the reason they run out of wine. The unselfish behaviouur of everybody in that story is something I so admired. It just showed how simple people's mind were during those time. Everyone was happy rich and poor.


To this date, I think weddings are viewed in another way. Gone are those days when it's been thought as a day for everybody to be merry to welcome the new couple. Whatever it is, however they look at it... to the future husband and wife...  just BE STRONG! We all have to be, I think. 


The long life's road I think won't be any easier but will make a difference if there is someone who's holding your hand as you walk on your own life's road.

Best wishes and Good luck!!!

The Intellect

Our brain just keep on working even when we are asleep so you can just imagine how it advances in the passing of time. Some people even if they are older do not feel and act that they reached that age and that is because of how their brain functions. Our minds rule our body, our brain is in control but sometimes we got so confused because of the different exposures we face as we go on with our lives. So, in the end we see ghost in our minds (an idea triggered by deep thinking) that could one day pull us down  if we made the wrong decision or if we were unaware of this state of  mind.

This extraordinary thoughts add up to the problem we are all facing in our lives. Sometimes, we just cannot avoid thinking how some people mold us to be good but there are some group of people who tried to ruin this or even get this from us. Sometimes, people do some nasty acts just to call our attention. There are cases too where a group of people help the other group by acting negatively or wrongly to the other. But, there are cases too where some people do wrong to you because they wanted to help you.  These all lead to a lot of confusion. One thing I know, sometimes (not all the time) what's right for you cannot be always good to the other person because no matter what we do each of us has his/her own way of understanding things on different situations. So, in the end our mind should still be in control after all each of us has our own life to face.

Good luck!
Keep on hoping!

A View.

Everything in this world imparts to us a lesson
which is of benefit to our ownselves.  Every suffering
and heartache that we take is good for our own mind and soul...
for only through our heart we will truly learn and feel
how to walk humbly throughout the years.

FOOTPRINTS

by: Margaret Fishback Powers

One night I dreamed a dream. I was walking along the beach with my Lord. Across the dark sky flashed scenes from my life. For each scene, I noticed two sets of footprints in the sand. One belong to me and one to my Lord. When the last scene of my life shot before me I looked back at the footprints in the sand and to my surprise, I noticed that many times along the path of my life there was only one set of footprints. I realized that this was the lowest and saddest times of my life. This always bothered me and questioned the Lord about my dilemma.

"Lord, you told me when I decide to follow You, You would walk and talk with me all the way. But, I am aware that during the most troublesome times of my life there is only one set of footprints. I just don't understand why, when I needed You most, You leave me." He whispered, "My precious child, I love you and will never leave you, never, ever, during your trials and testings. When you saw only one set of footprints, it was then that I carried you."
