Stay happy, healthy and safe – 65

The adventure of life is to learn.

The purpose of life is to grow.

The nature of life is to change.

The challenge of life is to overcome.

The essence of life is to care.

The opportunity of life is to serve.

The secret of life is to dare.

The spice of life is to befriend.

The beauty of life is to give.

Every heart sings a song, incomplete,

until another heart whispers back.

Those who wish to sing always find a song.

At the touch of a lover, everyone becomes a poet.

You have to grow from the inside out.

None can teach you,

none can make you spiritual.

There is no other teacher but your own soul.

Bhagavad Geeta 4.38 

Stay happy, healthy and safe -32

The human spirit is tremendously resilient.

It can withstand the most horrific of circumstances,

whether of human or divine creation…

It is not these larger-than-life situations that beat us.

It’s the little things.

“If you’re always racing to the next moment,

what happens to the one you’re in?

Slow down and enjoy

the moment you’re in

 and live your life to the fullest.”
