Treat yourself well And treat others equally well! Value your sense of self esteem But value another’s right to theirs.
True integrity lies in… Practicing one’s own preaching Be true to your word For both matter a whole lot
No one is an island Every one is necessary and important For who they are and deeply entwined In the grand plan of life .
Stay true to who you are For you are best at being you Integrity speaks from deeds not words Make sure your actions justify your words
And sense the calm you feel in your heart And watch the ease of being when with another. All it needs is a little care and concern For the world in and around you! Savvy
Notice the good Sometimes the simple act of noticing something good can make all the difference… Trust there is always more Than what your eyes can see In the sensing and the knowing The yet undiscovered good manifests Right before you for you to notice.
Came across an interesting piece of information… worth a share.
Trees have a “heartbeat” 💗. Previously, scientists thought water moved through trees by osmosis, in a somewhat continuous manner.
Now they’ve discovered the trunks and branches of trees are actually contracting and expanding to “pump” water up from the roots to the leaves, similar to the way our heart pumps blood through our bodies.
The only difference between our pulse and a tree’s is a tree’s is much slower, “beating” once every two hours or so, and instead of regulating blood pressure, the heartbeat of a tree, regulates water pressure.
History is replete with stories Of both success and failures In the circle of life and living. Defeats can be lifes greatest learnings Of being able to face failures.
Great thinkers ,scientists, sportsmen Handle many defeats before true success. Failure can be a great teacher Of what to expect on the road to success. It can make success feel sweeter.
Success is in each of us Awaiting a discovery An unearthing of potential To sense life’s possibilities
True success is the knowing In your heart of contentment Of a life well lived and loved Success is who you are
We are but mirrors in reflection Across dimensions of space and time Such is the eternal truth of our being. We construct and deconstruct In our imagined cosmos The truth of our own existence.
We bounce and reflect our perspectives In and on to each other. We shine our brilliance. We mirror perceptions. We are vulnerable and yet volatile beings Beaming energies boundlessly. The task is to recognize the strength of our souls.
Mathews, a hotshot sales manager, on a Sunday evening, was in the parking lot of a shopping mall. The parking lot was packed. Cars were crawling with anxious drivers looking for that one vacant slot. Mathews, sharp and aggressive as he was known to be, spotted a vacant space ahead and quickly zoomed in. He could see another car trying to reverse into the same slot, but Mathews was determined to beat the other man to it. And he did! Mathews felt jubilant – as we all sometimes do with life’s little victories. The old man driving the car was disappointed. He looked Mathews in the eye and continued his search for another parking slot.
Two days later, Mathews was preparing for one of the biggest moments of his career. He was close to winning a big contract for his company. And all that was left now was the formal handshake meeting with the client’s CEO. As Mathews walked into the client’s office and saw the CEO, he felt a sudden sense of discomfort. Yes, it was the same man from whom he had snatched the parking slot on Sunday. And you can guess what happened thereafter. Alas! If only Mathews had grown up with the HTDO habit!
So whats HTDO?
It has probably happened to you before. As you walk towards the door of an office, or a hotel, the person walking in front holds the door open for you. Remember how good it made you feel – if only for that moment.
Isn’t it surprising that although we all feel good when someone holds the door open for us, we seldom do the same for other? How come?
It’s probably because we are all preoccupied with ourselves and obsessed with getting ahead. Here, then, is a life-changing lesson they don’t teach you in any B school – ‘Hold The Door Open’.
The world can be divided into two types of people. Those who push open a door, walk through and let it slam behind them. That’s the 99% of the population. And there’s the 1% who hold it open to allow the next person to walk through. Learn to do that, and you too could join the select 1% club. HTDO doesn’t merely make other people feel good. It makes you feel good too. HTDO translates into a behaviour of helping and caring.
Winning in life is less about naked ambition and more about helping other people win.
Someone once said, “It’s nice to be important. But it’s more important to be nice”
Make a beginning. Hold The Door Open.😊👍🏼
I loved reading this inspiring forward so much that I simply wanted to share.
If there is any of you who would like to share their stories of holding the door open pls feel free to do so.
I see… A borderless world Overflowing abundance In the kindness of being. Beyond assumptions Notions & judgments In fear and confusion Over man made division. The beauty of creation Survives the human frailties.
The world without borders Is one of awe and intrigue Of all pervading consciousness. Of manifestations beyond compare Of artistry beyond words All strewn for us to sense In the tapestry of life.
