Story with Strong Message- Two Horses

Just up the road there were two horses in a field, with two horses in it.

From a distance, each horse looks like any other horse.

But if you stop your car, or are walking by, you will notice something quite amazing....

Looking into the eyes of one horse will disclose that he is blind. His owner has chosen not to have him put down, but has made a good home for him.
This alone is amazing. If you stand nearby and listen, you will hear the sound of a bell. Looking around for the source of the sound, you will see that it comes from the smaller horse in the field.
Attached to the horse's halter is a small bell. It lets the blind friend know where the other horse is, so he can follow.
As you stand and watch these two friends, you'll see that the horse with the bell is always checking on the blind horse, and that the blind horse will listen for the bell and then slowly walk to where the other horse is, trusting that he will not be led astray.
When the horse with the bell returns to the shelter of the barn each evening, it stops occasionally and looks back, making sure that the blind friend isn't too far behind to hear the bell.
Like the owners of these two horses, God does not throw us away just because we are not perfect or because we have problems or challenges.
He watches over us and even brings others into our lives, to help us when we are in need.
Sometimes we are the blind horse being guided by the little ringing bell of those who God places in our lives. Other times we are the guide horse, helping others to find their way....
Good friends are like that...You may not always see them, but you know they are always there.
Please listen for my bell and I'll listen for yours, and remember...
Be kinder than necessary
Everyone you meet is fighting
Some kind of battle.

Live simply,
Love generously,
Care deeply,
Speak kindly.
And leave the rest to God!
For we walk by faith and not by sight. 

Practice Being Like a Child by Jim Rohn

Remember the master teacher said 2000 years ago, “Unless you can become like little children, your chances are zero, you haven’t got a prayer.” A major consideration for adults.

Be like children and remember there are four ways to be more like a child no matter how old you get –

1) Curiosity - Be curious. Childish curiosity. Learn to be curious like a child. What will kids do if they want to know something bad enough? You’re right. They will bug you. Kids can ask a million questions. You think they’re through. They’ve got another million. They will keep plaguing you. They can drive you right to the brink.

Also kids use their curiosity to learn. Have you ever noticed that while adults are stepping on ants, children are studying them? A child’s curiosity is what helps them to reach, learn and grow.

2) Excitement - Learn to get excited like a child. There is nothing that has more magic than childish excitement. So excited you hate to go to bed at night. Can’t wait to get up in the morning. So excited that you’re about to explode. How can anyone resist that kind of childish magic? Now, once in awhile I meet someone who says, “Well, I’m a little too mature for all that childish excitement.” Isn’t that pitiful? You’ve got to weep for these kinds of people. All I’ve got to say is, “If you’re too old to get excited, you’re old.” Don’t get that old.

3) Faith - Faith like a child. Faith is childish. How else would you describe it? Some people say, “Let’s be adult about it.” Oh no. No. Adults too often have a tendency to be overly skeptical. Some adults even have a tendency to be cynical. Adults say, “Yeah. I’ve heard that old positive line before. It will be a long day in June before I fall for that positive line. You’ve got to prove to me it’s any good.” See, that’s adult, but kids aren’t that way. Kids think you can get anything. They are really funny. You tell kids, “We’re going to have three swimming pools.” And they say, “Yeah. Three. One each. Stay out of my swimming pool.” See, they start dividing them up right away, but adults are not like that. Adults say, “Three swimming pools? You’re out of your mind. Most people don’t even have one swimming pool. You’ll be lucky to get a tub in the back yard.” You notice the difference? No wonder the master teacher said, “Unless you can become like little children, your chances, they’re skinny.”

4) Trust - Trust is a childish virtue, but it has great merit. Have you heard the expression “sleep like a baby”? That’s it. Childish trust. After you’ve gotten an A+ for the day, leave it in somebody else’s hands.

Curiosity, excitement, faith and trust. Wow, what a powerful combination to bring (back) into our lives.

Short note of the Day

"If you have built castles in the air, your work need not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put foundations under them." Henry David Thoreau 

 

That's why dreams are always symbolized with the cloud, a cloud that is waiting to shower success and Allah's blessing on us after getting the signal of faith and power of persistence from our side and as soon as this shower is complete our dreams are in front of us in real physical existence and sun of success smiling and shining above our head in the sky.

Moti Dose of the Day

Get Rid Of Excuses and Take Action

The biggest test most of us face is our habits; our laziness, absence of inspiration. I have yet to meet a person who does not want to be successful. Why then are only so few successful? The answer to that is no top-secret; we all wish to succeed, but very few are ready to invest in the hard work that is related to success, whatever be the aim. And, couple that with our born laziness, in many ways, it is the glamour pack of the media that is to be blamed for increasing the delusion that there are shortcuts to success or that success entirely depends on Luck. Nothing can be further from the truth...

No article on a successful photographer will speak of the hundreds; say thousands, of photographs that he had to take over many years of hard work before the essence of a creative person found expression in the person. Similarly, no interviewer will dwell on the back-breaking effort and years of struggle, often coupled with depression, that goes into the life of a painter before he gets critical acclaim. And that is because no one wants to dwell beyond the pretty picture-perfect image of success. As they say, no one wants to cast the first stone...

One way to correct our false notions is to read the biographies, of successful people and get inspired, by their struggles.

Another key is to write down on one side of a piece of paper all that you want to be. And on the other side of the same page, all the issues that are holding you back. For example, if you want a great physique, write against it all the hindrances that you are facing that are preventing you from achieving your goal. Maybe you are feeling lazy, or you wake up late each morning or you do not have the time, or whatever. When you put it down in black and white, you will discover that all the reasons are actually EXCUSES!

Face yourself and realize that the actual speed breaker along your goal to success is YOU. So wake up and make a real beginning. After all, tomorrow is another day...

Act Now

Ask your friends what is the greatest labour-saving device ever invented and you will get varied answers. Men may believe that it is the automobile, the computer, or maybe a robot.

Women may think it is the washing machine or plumbing which brings water into your homes. No, it is none of these; it is the word ‘tomorrow’. The word is a wonderful excuse for putting off things and it is also an excuse for not delivering. Sadly, it is also the reason for failures that have bedeviled the lives of many people who have not been able to leverage their potential.

We come across many talented people who had wonderful ideas. But they just did not execute it and before long, someone else walks away with the honors. For example, I met a talented stand-up comedian from Los Angeles who had come up with a wonderful concept for a comedy television series. But he sat on it for six months. Someone else wrote it out and presented it to the channel and it is now a top ranking television show in the US. He is cursing his stars now.

If you analyze the situation, the problem with our tomorrows is the gap between an idea and its execution. It is a sense of laziness that overcomes many of us. Delays pile up beyond days, and the days then turn into months. And before long we pass the anniversary of our big idea.

Many of us have fallen in this gap, but we learn our lessons. Unfortunately, many still do not. This problem is particularly true among teenagers who have a habit of chilling out and believe that their parents are killjoys for expecting things to be done in time. They grow out of this habit when they join the mainstream of the working class, because in an office situation, delays are not condoned beyond a point.

But it is largely the creative fields that are mainly seized with this problem, as there are no deadlines when you are alone. You will find many writers working endlessly on scripts as you will find many composers thinking of that great tune.

And the problem is that they do not push themselves to their limits. In my own case, I am frequently down with colds, viral fever and a bad throat due to my constant travelling. Yet I push myself to the very edge and report on the sets every time, and on time. I never make excuses and keep my commitments, much to the amazement of my manager. I am not alone in my profession; there are others too who are very professional. And that is the reason why they are successful.

So take your commitment seriously and do not procrastinate. Hold review meetings with yourself every night and analyse if the time you spent that day could have been more fruitfully spent. And finally, be a hard taskmaster on yourself. Because you will gain to benefit the most from the exercise.
