Happy Hearts

sweet summer nights

spent in your arms

The power of love. What a sweet sensation that fills our body--a lightness of walking on air. We drift in clouds and dream of delights with our special other. The whole world seems more magical and worth living when our dearest is there with us. Somehow, things just seem to click and fall into place. We feel whole.

Cherish these memories. Love and respect the other person in your life. Learn to think in a "We" attitude. Understand yourself, so that you may better understand your love. Always think with a sense of togetherness--two people must beat with one heart. Just as there is harmony and melody in music, so must there be in a happy relationship.

Make these things a part of your life. And feel your bond with your partner grow. Love, so that you may be loved. Be a Happy Heart.

Are You Listening?

the tick

of dripping water

a cannon ball

Have you ever listened to water drip? The sound is barely audible to some. But what if you payed closer attention? What if you really listened to the water-drops as they hit the puddle? The answer could shock you.

 Learn to listen to the world around you. Train your ears to hear things that most people ignore. As you develop this skill, you will discover a hidden world just waiting to be explored.

Did you hear the sound of a cannon ball from a drop of water? Listen, really listen, and you will.

What Do You See?

Look into the picture. What do you see? Do you see just fireworks--or something more?

Beyond the ordinary, there are things that often elude us. We have eyes, but we fail to see the hidden meaning. And this hurts us. We overlook something that was in plain sight.

Learn to use your eyes. Everyday for five minutes, train yourself to observe things. Watch a sunrise. Watch ants crawl on a table. Watch your favorite pet. Just find something and observe it. Practice this and you will open up a new world that was invisible to you. You will see deeper into things and understand their true nature.

This power is just waiting to be tapped. Open your eyes to a new world.

Slow Down!

Zoom! Life is one crazy car race. Everywhere we go, there is pressure to hurry things up. Do this. Do that. We want it now.

But is this what you want? Do you always want to be in a hurry?

Don't be like the speeding cars in your life. Learn to slow down. Life is so much more than just a blurry road on a highway. Take time to go down the side roads. Explore yourself and your world--but at your pace and on your terms.

So the next time your feeling all stressed and crazy--hit the brakes!

Are You Taking ME Time?

We live in a busy world. Everyday, we are confronted with demands for our time, attention, and money. It seems like we never have enough time for ourselves.

But we do have time. If we know how to properly use it.

Starting today, promise yourself that you will take five minutes to close your eyes and dream. Yes, just dream. Dream you are in another world, another place, another time. Think of happy thoughts and what you would love to do in this imaginary world of yours.

Now open your eyes. Recall your dream and make a promise to yourself that you will do this everyday for five minutes. Five minutes may not seem like much, but when you are truly happy, time can stand still.

Don't delay. Practice this today.
