Handling Life's situations

I have been "offline" for a bit - having to attend to some personal life situations - which all of us have to go through.

The time is still tough, but we have to continue with our lives and make the best of it all.

Thank you for listening.

Stay on Course

You've been planning for the perfect vacation for six months, and now the day is finally here. The tickets are in your pocket, your bags are packed, and you're driving to the airport. On the way, you pass a favourite restaurant and think about how much you like their food. You turn the car around, go back to the restaurant, walk in, sit down and enjoy a delicious meal. The only trouble is, by the time you finish eating you've missed your flight and you don't get to take that vacation of a lifetime.

Would this ever happen? Of course not. When you're on your way to something you've been working for, planning, and anxiously awaiting, you'd never let a petty distraction throw you off track. Or would you?

Unfortunately, it happens every day. Too often, we let the distractions of the moment deny us our most treasured goals. The next time you're tempted by a distraction, keep in mind where you're already headed and how very much you desire to get there. Ask yourself if you would prefer to have the distraction or the goal you've set for yourself. Rather than hopping from one empty distraction to another, focus your effort
and attention toward those things which will bring true and lasting fulfilment.

Need to give our best all time

We sometimes quit even before we start. We don't think we are strong enough sometimes or it is just simply impossible. But we have to endure it for in the end it is worth it. We need to give our best all the time, in everything we do.

How wealth is judged

- Author Anonymous

A week ago the sycamore tree was loaded with gold.  However, instead of sitting back and enjoying it, it began to give it away.  At first it was just a leaf here and a leaf there, whenever the wind asked for a contribution.  But soon it was giving it away in fistfuls, without even being asked, and without a thought for a wintry tomorrow.

Wealth is judged, not by the amount that is accumulated, but by the amount that is given away.

The only wealth that is worth having is the wealth of the heart.  To close one's heart is to begin to die; to open it is to begin to live.

The 18th Camel

A father left 17 camels as an asset to his three sons.

When the father passed away, his sons read his Will.  The Will stated that the eldest son should get half of the total camels, while the middle son should be given one-third, and the youngest son should be given one-ninth of the total camels.

As it was not possible to divide 17 into half or 17 by 3 or 17 by 9, and the three sons started to fight with each other. They then decided to go to a wise man.  The wise man read the Will patiently. After giving it due thought, he brought one camel of his own and added it to the 17 camels. That increased the total to 18 camels.

Then he started reading the deceased father's Will:

·                     Half of 18 = 9. So he gave the eldest son 9 camels.

·                     1/3rd of 18 = 6. So he gave the middle son 6 camels.

·                     1/9th of 18 = 2. So he gave the youngest son 2 camels.

Now add this up: 9 + 6 + 2= 17. That leaves one camel, which the wise man took back.

Moral of the story: The attitude of negotiation and problem solving is to find the 18th camel, i.e. the common ground. Once a person is able to find the 18th camel the issue is resolved.

It is difficult at times. However, to reach a solution, the first step is to believe that there is a solution. If we think that there is no solution, we won't be able to reach any!
