REVELATIONS and Pearls Of WISDOM Section # 121 Lightening Bolts of Insightful Wisdom written or selected and versified by Chinmayan to encourage you to go for your dreams and be a force of loving and caring in this crazy and wonderful world!
THREE GOLDEN RULES for a happy life!
1) whatever happens and whatever anyone says…don’t take it personally…
2) its irrelevant what anyone thinks of you when you love and appreciate yourself…
3)be ready for change, especially sudden or unexpected ones, so that you can flow with it rather than getting battered by your own resistance!
—Chinmayan
DON’T WISH ME HAPPINESS WHICH COMES AND GOES—
WISH ME COURAGE, STRENGTH AND RESILIENCE
THAT WILL SEE ME THROUGH ALL THE CHALLENGES AHEAD
“Don't wish me happiness
I don't expect to be happy all the time...
It's gotten beyond that somehow.
Wish me courage and strength
and a sense of humor.
I will need them all…
Don't wish me happiness,
for I no longer expect it to
be a constant companion.
Life has taught me that
happiness comes and goes,
like waves on a shore.
Instead, wish me courage
to face life's challenges,
strength to endure its trials,
and a sense of humor to keep
me light in dark moments.
These are the tools I will need
most as I navigate the
unpredictable journey ahead.
Happiness will find its way back,
but courage and resilience
will carry me through.”
― Anne Morrow Lindbergh

KINDNESS ALWAYS MATTERS!
Choosing kindness is
Choosing happiness
Because every act of kindness,
However small it may seem…
Is an act of loving and caring
That touches and uplifts
The giver, the receiver and
Everyone who witnesses it…
And makes them all feel good!
No act of kindness is ever wasted…
All the good that we will ever do
For anyone that is truly unselfish
Will come back to us multiplied…
It is a universal cosmic law,
Which is always and will always operate
Because the greatest power in the
Universe is Love in all its expressions.
