Story about fish and water

The fish said :

"I can't see my tears because i'm in the water."

The waters said :

"I can feel your tears because you're in my heart."

Lesson : We may hide our own hurts and pain but never can we lie the people who cares for us the most. Words aren't needed for them to know how we are.

Son said, "We have one dog, they have four, we have pool, they have rivers, we have lanterns at night, they have stars, we buy foods, they grow theirs, we have walls to protect us, they have friends." Then they headed,"Thanks dad for showing me how poor we are."

MORAL LESSON: It's not about money that make us rich, it's about simplicity of having God in our lives.

Love just didn't rest on that person's heart

If you find yourself inlove with someone who doesn't love you, 

be gentle with yourself, nothing's wrong with you. 

Love just didn't rest on that person's heart. 

If you find someone else who is in love with you 

.....but you don't love the person, gently refuse the gift you can't return. 

Don't take advantage; 

Don't cause pain because how you deal with love is how love deals with you.

Sometimes

Sometimes all you can give is love

Sometimes all you have is not enough

Sometimes life is like a dream

Sometimes dreams aren’t what they seem

Sometimes laughter can heal your heart

Sometimes it’s laughter that breaks it apart

Sometimes the world goes faster than you can go

Sometimes even fast is still too slow

Sometimes going home is the only thing on your mind

Sometimes home is the only place you can’t find

Sometimes you are too tired to sleep

Sometimes you are too sad to weep

Sometimes freedom holds you back

Sometimes a wedding dress is black

Sometimes loneliness is what you need

Sometimes there’s a harvest without a seed

Sometimes darkness can be too bright

Sometimes rain gives you delight

Sometimes you think you understand

Sometimes you know you really can’t

Sometimes what sets you free are restrictions

Sometimes what makes most sense are contradictions

Forgive yourself and move on

Just because you've made mistakes 
doesn't mean your mistakes get to make you. 


Take no notice of your inner critic, forgive yourself, and move on.

Never ignore the person that loves you!

I figured out why there are hearts broken on earth, 

it's because when someone likes someone else, 

the someone else doesn't like someone back. 

And then finally when someone else likes someone, 

someone has turned his back and gone for another someone else! 

So people...there is this sort of "advice" 

look...it's really nice loving someone, 

but NEVER ignore the person that LOVES YOU! 

because you don't get anything by loving someone else, 

but receiving love is one of th greatest things on earth. 

Never ignore or make fun of the person that loves you...

Because you will make yourself not worth loving, and not worth living for.

Not perfection

Never walk away from someone when you see some faults.

 Have patience and realize that nobody is perfect. 

It's the affection that matters, 

not the perfection.

Words of Wisdom Of the Day # 304
