One at a time

Quote & Thought for the Day -- Monday, 9 Mar '09

“While we are focusing on fear, worry, or hate, it is not possible for us to be experiencing happiness, enthusiasm or love”

--Bo Bennett

My Thoughts:
Our Heart is like a box that can hold only one kind of emotion. When there is one emotion inside, you cannot put another one inside unless the existing is removed.

So that’s clear, one at a time, it’s your choice.

Energy of Love

Quote & Thought for the Day -- Wednesday, 25 Feb '09

“Love the moment, and the energy of that moment will spread beyond all boundaries.”

--Corita Kent

My Thoughts:
Emotions are so contagious. Look at some happy face and you just smile. And look at the sad one and you become sad…

Wherever human emotions are involved, they move beyond that person, beyond all boundaries. These emotion, whether positive or negative, are strong energies that flow in all direction and affect everyone who comes in contact with them.

Manner of Traveling

Quote & Thought for the Day -- Tuesday, 23 Dec '08

“Happiness is not a station you arrive at, but a manner of traveling.”

--Margaret Lee Runbeck

My Thoughts:
As I have been telling the previous quotes that your journey is as important as your destination. Be that journey of life, career or otherwise.

Similar is the journey for happiness and joy. It is not just a state of mind, but a complete experience that makes you feel happy. And each step in this journey is equally important.

Leave Better

Quote & Thought for the Day -- Thursday, 11 Dec '08

“Let no one ever come to you without leaving better and happier.”

--Mother Teresa

My Thoughts:
In the previous quote by Mother Teresa, I had mentioned how a small gesture of gratitude can create a better world.

And this piece of quote states more or less the same. Lets make an effort that whenever we meet someone, we greet them with the best we can and when we part away from him, he should be more happier that he was before meeting us.

Cheerful Epidemic

Quote & Thought for the Day -- Sunday, 30 Nov '08

“Kind words can be short and easy to speak, but their echoes are truly endless.”

--Mother Teresa

My Thoughts:
When I was in school, short moral lessons were a part of our syllabus. I remember one of those stories in which a man while alighting from a cab thanks the cabbie.

The cabbie, surprised by the behavior, asked -- everyone just walks away by paying the fare, why he thanked him. The passenger replied that when I thanked you, you smiled and I made your day. And this smile and happiness will make you to cheerful and in turn you would also delight your customers. And in turn those people would delight others.

So the epidemic of happiness and cheerfulness starts with just small things, try it, NOW!

Ways to Spread Happiness

Quote & Thought for the Day -- Friday, 10 Oct '08

“There are two ways to spread happiness; either be the light who shines it or be the mirror who reflects it.”

--Edith Wharton

My Thoughts:
Happiness and sorrow, both are contagious. You look at a person and give him a smile, and you get a wonderful smile in return. Same is with sadness and anger.

However in the above quote, spreading happiness is divided into two ways. Either you create ways to make yourself and others happy. Or else you can choose to share the happiness you received with others. And both the ways work really well.
