A smile

A smile costs nothing, but gives much.

It enriches those who receive, without making poorer those who give.

It takes a moment, but the memory of it sometimes lasts forever.

None is so rich or mighty that he can get along without it, and none is so poor, but that he can be made rich by it.

A smile creates happiness in the home, fosters good will in business, and is the countersign of friendship.

It brings rest to the weary, cheer to the discouraged, sunshine to the sad, and it is nature’s best antidote for trouble.

Yet it cannot be bought, begged, borrowed, or stolen, for it is something that is of no value to anyone, until it is given away.

Some people are too tired to give you a smile;

Give them one of yours, as none needs a smile so much as he who has no more to give.

Strength and Courage

It takes strength to be certain, It takes courage to have doubts.

It takes strength to fit in, It takes courage to stand out.

It takes strength to share a friend’s pain, It takes courage to feel your own pain.

It takes strength to hide your own pain, It takes courage to show it and deal with it.

It takes strength to stand guard, It takes courage to let down your guard.

It takes strength to conquer, It takes courage to surrender.

It takes strength to endure abuse, It takes courage to stop it.

It takes strength to stand alone, It takes courage to lean on a friend.

It takes strength to love, It takes courage to beloved.

It takes strength to survive, It takes courage to live.

“Destiny is not a matter of chance, it is a matter of choice.”

“A man is not old until regrets take the place of dreams”

“There are powers inside of you, which, if you could discover and use, would make of you everything you ever dreamed or imagined you could become.”

“Holding on to anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intent of throwing it at someone else; you are the one getting burnt.” -Imam Ali A.S.

Living Happily

A man and his girlfriend were married. It was a large celebration. All of their friends and family came to see the lovely ceremony and to partake of the festivities and celebrations. A wonderful time was had by all.

The bride was gorgeous in her white wedding gown and the groom was very dashing in his black tuxedo. Everyone could tell that the love they had for each other was true.

A few months later, the wife comes to the husband with a proposal: “I read in a magazine, a while ago, about how we can strengthen our marriage.” she offered.

“Each of us will write a list of the things that we find a bit annoying with the other person. Then, we can talk about how we can fix them together and make our lives happier together.”

The husband agreed. So each of them went to a separate room in the house and thought of the things that annoyed them about the other. They thought about this question for the rest of the day and wrote down what they came up with.

The next morning, at the breakfast table, they decided that they would go over their lists.

“I’ll start,” offered the wife. She took out her list. It had many items on it. Enough to fill 3 pages, in fact. As she started reading the list of the little annoyances, she noticed that tears were starting to appear in her husbands eyes.

“What’s wrong?” she asked. “Nothing” the husband replied, “keep reading your list.”

The wife continued to read until she had read all three pages to her husband. She neatly placed her list on the table and folded her hands over top of it.

“Now, you read your list and then we’ll talk about the things on both of our lists.” She said happily.

Quietly the husband stated, “I don’t have anything on my list. I think that you are perfect the way that you are. I don’t want you to change anything for me. You are lovely and wonderful and I wouldn’t want to try and change anything about you.”

The wife, touched by his honesty and the depth of his love for her and his acceptance of her, turned her head and wept.

IN LIFE, there are enough times when we are disappointed, depressed and annoyed. We don’t really have to go looking for them.

We have a wonderful world that is full of beauty, light and promise.

Why waste time in this world looking for the bad, disappointing or annoying things when we can look around us, and see the wondrous things before us?

I believe that WE ARE HAPPIEST WHEN we see and praise the good and try our best to forego the mistakes of our spouse Nobody’s perfect but we can find perfection in them to change the way we see them. It is necessary to understand the difficulties and be a helping hand to each other….THAT BRIGHTENS THE RELATIONSHIP.

See Greatness in Yourself~

I believe there is the potential for greatness in every single person in GoodHeartz. Not the kind of greatness that wins trophies or races, or that will help them make a million mesos when they're grown up, but an even more important kind. It's the kind of greatness that can change the world; the kind of greatness that gives something back; the kind of greatness that reaches out to other people when they need a helping hand; the kind of greatness that cares for senior citizens when they're lonely; the kind of greatness that takes the higher ground and offers an example for others to follow. That's the kind of greatness that can really make a difference. See it in yourself because it's there, and it's powerful.
