Follow your Heart - By Andrew Matthews

THE TEN CONCEPTS:

  • We are here to learn lessons, and the world is our teacher.
  • The universe has no favourites.
  • Your life is a perfect reflection of your beliefs.
  • The moment you get too attached to things, people, money... you screw it up.
  • What you focus on in life expands.
  • Follow your heart!
  •  God is never going to come down from a cloud and say, “You now have permission to be successful!”
  • When you fight life, life always wins.
  • How do you love people? Just accept them.
  •  Our mission in life is not to change the world – our mission is to change ourselves.

Who Moved My Cheese?

An A-Mazing Way To Deal With Change In Your Work And In Your Life

Parts of All of Us

The Simple and The Complex
The four imaginary characters
depicted in this story —
the mice: "Sniff" and "Scurry;' and
the Little people: "Hem" and "Haw" —
are intended to represent the simple and
the complex parts of ourselves, regardless of
our age, gender, race or nationality.

Sometimes we may act like

Sniff
Who sniffs out change early, or

Scurry
Who scurries into action, or

Hem
Who denies and resists change as he fears
it will lead to something worse, or

Haw
Who learns to adapt in time when he sees
changing can lead to something better!

Whatever parts of us we choose to use, we all share something in common: a need to find our way in the Maze and succeed in changing times.




 Change Happens

They keep moving the cheese. 

Anticipate Change

Get ready for the cheese to move. 

Monitor Change

Smell the cheese often so you know when it’s getting old. 

 Adapt To Change Quickly

The quicker you let go of old cheese the sooner you can enjoy new cheese. 

Change

Move with the cheese. 

 Enjoy Change

Enjoy the taste of new cheese.

THE WAY OUT OF THE MAZE


Notice Your Beliefs 

A Belief Is a Thought That You Trust Is True Don’t Believe Everything 

You Think

Sometimes “Facts” Are Just How You See Things Let Go of What Isn’t Working

You Can’t Launch a New Quest with Old Baggage Look Outside the Maze

Consider the Unlikely—Explore the Impossible Choose a New Belief

Changing What You Think Doesn’t Change Who You Are 

There Are No Limits to What You Can Believe You Can Do, Experience, and Enjoy a Lot More Than You Think You Can

Is You




I push me beyond my limits, and I feel fully live my own life. 
In you, I met myself and I looked over, beyond unimaginable limits. 
I looked deep into your eyes, trying to understand you, 
but I saw everything about me, I never wanted to see.
 I saw my weakness and my insecurity, my guilt and my complexes, 
my fears and my impatience. 
I saw my darkness and my demons. So, I looked further, and deep in my heart, a stormy sea, a vast ocean where you can dive and get lost, and there in the depths of my soul, 
I understood! 
I took pleasure and pride in understanding what I feel today, in knowing who they really are today. 
Now, I know that I love beautiful things, I know that I love everything that life offers me, and one of those is you.
(Paulo Coelho)

THE SEASONS OF LIFE

THE SEASONS OF LIFE

Image result for season tree
There was a man who had four sons. He wanted his sons to learn to not judge things too quickly. So he sent them each on a quest, in turn, to go and look at a pear tree that was a great distance away.
The first son went in the winter, the second in the spring, the third in summer, and the youngest son in the fall.
When they had all gone and come back, he called them together to describe what they had seen.
The first son said that the tree was ugly, bent, and twisted.
The second son said no – it was covered with green buds and full of promise.
The third son disagreed, he said it was laden with blossoms that smelled so sweet and looked so beautiful, it was the most graceful thing he had ever seen.
The last son disagreed with all of them; he said it was ripe and drooping with fruit, full of life and fulfilment.
The man then explained to his sons that they were all right, because they had each seen but one season in the tree’s life.
He told them that you cannot judge a tree, or a person, by only one season, and that the essence of who they are – and the pleasure, joy, and love that come from that life – can only be measured at the end when all the seasons are up.
If you give up when it’s winter, you will miss the promise of your spring, the beauty of your summer, fulfilment of your fall.
Don’t judge a life by one difficult season. Don’t let the pain of one season destroy the joy of all the rest.

The bird and the cage



November 10, 2010 by Paulo Coelho
From Maria’s diary:
Once upon a time, there was a bird. He was adorned with two perfect wings and with glossy, colourful, marvellous feathers.
One day, a woman saw this bird and fell in love with him.
She invited the bird to fly with her, and the two travelled across the sky in perfect harmony. She admired and venerated and celebrated that bird.
But then she thought: He might want to visit far-off mountains!
And she was afraid, afraid that she would never feel the same way about any other bird.

And she thought: “I’m going to set a trap. The next time the bird appears, he will never leave again.”
The bird, who was also in love, returned the following day, fell into the trap and was put in a cage.

She looked at the bird every day. There he was, the object of her passion and she showed him to her friends, who said: “Now you have everything you could possibly want.”
However, a strange transformation began to take place: now that she had the bird and no longer needed to woo him, she began to lose interest.
The bird, unable to fly and express the true meaning of his life, began to waste away and his feathers to lose their gloss; he grew ugly; and the woman no longer paid him any attention, except by feeding him and cleaning out his cage.
One day, the bird died. The woman felt terribly sad and spent all her time thinking about him. But she did not remember the cage, she thought only of the day when she had seen him for the first time, flying contentedly amongst the clouds.
If she had looked more deeply into herself, she would have realized that what had thrilled her about the bird was his freedom, the energy of his wings in motion, not his physical body.
Without the bird, her life too lost all meaning, and Death came knocking at her door.
“Why have you come?” she asked Death.
“So that you can fly once more with him across the sky,” Death replied.

“If you had allowed him to come and go, you would have loved and admired him evermore; alas, you now need me in order to find him again.”




Selfless Love



We know there are lot definitions for “Love”.  The tingling, warm feeling you get when you think of someone you cared so dearly.  But what is” Selfless Love “Have you ever thought about it.  In my definitions, selfless love means you love someone without expecting anything in return? You truly be happy for that person and let them be free to do whatever which makes them happy.
Do you think that’s possible? I think if you love someone you need to set them free from your expectations.  Then you might think what I’m I am gaining from that if I don’t expect anything in return. My dear friend, you gain pure happiness which will not depend on anyone or something someone has done. It’s totally yours and no one can steal that from you.
The problem in our lives is we take everything as a transaction. You give something and expect something in return. For everything in our life, we have a label marked what’s the value of it.
Do you know that we don’t even give a smile for free? If you smile with someone you expect a smile in return. If you don’t get that how annoying, you would feel. It’s a very pity world as we have made everything a transaction and we don’t know that we have put our keys to happiness is in others person pocket.
