Whenever we help someone.

"Whenever we help someone"

we cannot but feel good.

I was a bit upset when during an expensive breakfast in a hotel,only one of the three coffee machines was working.When I headed for some orange juice, that seemed to be finished too.Then a waiter came with a tray full of glasses,The almost empty tray was still there and I saw him struggling.

I took the empty tray away and it was easy for him  to put the new one in place.Then I gave the other one to him.

This simple act of kindness made me feel good. We cannot feel good and upset at the same time. The lack of orange juice and the faulty coffee machinesdid matter suddenly a lot less.

It was the smile of the waiter, his sigh of relief and his warm thank you
that made up how I felt for the next ten minutes at least. 

I think there is so much wisdom in loving your neighbors as yourself,in offering a helping hand whenever we can.

ALL achievement, not a hope, not a wish, but a keen pulsating desire which transcends everything.”

If you keep thinking about problems and failure, you attract these things into your life

Did you know that thoughts that you repeat often, eventually, affect your behavior and actions, and create changes in your life in accordance with these thoughts?

Did you know that thoughts that you repeat often, eventually, affect your behavior and actions, and create changes in your life in accordance with these thoughts?

     There is no magic here, but only natural laws at work.

How to Change Your Thoughts and Change Your Life.

If you constantly think about obstacles and failure, you will not try hard, not take advantage of opportunities, and avoid taking action and starting new projects. Eventually, your external life would mirror your negative thoughts.

When you change your thoughts, you change your life accordingly.

You can take advantage of this process, and use it to improve your life and make positive changes in your life

On the other hand, if you stop thinking negatively, start focusing on success, and see in your mind’s eye your dreams and wishes as already fulfilled, your life will change accordingly.

If you think often about success, and about living a better, happier and more successful life, you will be motivated to do something about your life. You will become aware of opportunities, take advantage of them, and change your life.

Successful people see in their mind’s eye the life they want to live. They visualize their ambitions as accomplished, and do not allow negative thoughts, problems or obstacles to discourage them.

People who constantly think how poor they are, how difficult are their lives, and how more difficult they are going to be, stay in the same situation, and might even make it worse.

A thought, together with a strong desire and perseverance, turn dreams into reality.

• Changing your thoughts will change your life.

• Changing your thinking habits will change how you feel, how you act, and how you react.

• Inner change will lead to outer change.

The nature of our thoughts determines the quality of our life whether it is sad, happy and contented. Happy, optimistic, positive thoughts, emotions, and feelings generate a zing in our system which makes the blood flow freely and heart beat joyously.
