Bring It On ( Magical Spell Of Life )

Imagine life as a game in which you are juggling some five balls in the air. You name them – work, family, health, friends and spirit and you’re keeping all of these in the air. You will soon understand that work is a rubber ball. If you drop it, it will bounce back. But the other four balls – family, health, friends and spirit are made of glass. If you drop one of these, they will be irrevocably scuffed, marked, nicked, damaged or even shattered. They will never be the same. You must understand that and strive for balance in your life. How?
  • Don’t undermine your worth by comparing yourself with others. It is because we are different that each of us is special.
     
  • Don’t set your goals by what other people deem important. Only you know what is best for you.
     
  • Don’t take for granted the things closest to your heart. Cling to them as you would your life, for without them, life is meaningless.
     
  • Don’t let your life slip through your fingers by living in the past or for the future. By living your life one day at a time, you live ALL the days of your life.
     
  • Don’t give up when you still have something to give. Nothing is really over until the moment you stop trying.
     
  • Don’t be afraid to admit that you are less than perfect. It is this fragile thread that binds us each together.
     
  • Don’t be afraid to encounter risks. It is by taking chances that we learn how to be brave.
     
  • Don’t shut love out of your life by saying it’s impossible to find. The quickest way to receive love is to give; the fastest way to lose love is to hold it too tightly; and the best way to keep love is to give it wings.
     
  • Don’t run through life so fast that you forget not only where you've been, but also where you are going.
     
  • Don’t forget that a person’s greatest emotional need is to feel appreciated.
     
  • Don’t be afraid to learn. Knowledge is weightless, a treasure you can always carry easily.
     
  • Don’t use time or words carelessly. Neither can be retrieved. Life is not a race, but a journey to be savored each step of the way.
  • A young man asked Socrates, an ancient Greek philosopher, the secret of Success. Socrates told the young man to meet him near the river the next morning. They met.
    Socrates asked the young man to walk with him toward the river.
    When the water got up to their necks, Socrates took the young man by surprise and ducked him into the water. The man struggled to get out but Socrates was strong and kept him under water until he started turning blue.
    The young man struggled hard and finally managed to get up. The first thing he did was to gasp and take a deep breath.
    Socrates asked, “What did you want the most when you were under the water?”
    The man replied “Air”.
    Socrates said: “That’s the most secret to success. When you want success as badly as you want air, you will get it. There is no other secret”.
There may be days when you get up in the morning and things aren't the way you had hoped they would be.
That’s when you have to tell yourself that things will get better. There are times when people disappoint you and let you down.
But those are the times when you must remind yourself to trust your own judgments and opinions, to keep your life focused on believing in yourself.
There will be challenges to face and changes to make in your life, and it is up to you to accept them.
Constantly keep yourself headed in the right direction for you. It may not be easy at times, but in those times of struggle you will find a stronger sense of who you are.
So when the days come that are filled with frustration and unexpected responsibilities, remember to believe in yourself and all you want your life to be.
Because the challenges and changes will only help you to find the goals that you know are meant to come true for you.
Pack up Your bags lets decide we will do it . believe me you will. Go For It . Bring It On is the magical spell.
