Do U Donate - while you are still living !

A rich man who once asked his priest, "Why does everybody call me stingy when everyone knows that when I die I will leave everything I have to this temple?"

The priest said:

There once was a pig and a cow. The pig was unpopular and the cow was loved by all in the village. This puzzled the pig.

The pig said to the cow, "People speak warmly of your good nature and your helpful attitude”. They think, “You are very generous because each day you give them milk, butter and cheese”.

“But how about me?”

“I give them everything I have”.

“I give them the famous sausages, bacon and ham i.e. my entire body”.

“Yet no one likes me”.” Why is that?"

The priest continued:" Do you know what the cow answered?

The Cow said, "Perhaps it's because I give while I am still living."

"Let go of battles that cannot be won".................

One of the major contributing factors to self-created stress is the tendency that most of us have to hold on to battles that we have virtually no chance of winning. For whatever reason, we keep alive unnecessary arguments and conflicts, we insist on being right, or we try to get someone to change when there is almost no possibility that we will succeed.


Many times, we bump up against stone walls, but instead of backing off and taking the path of least resistance, we keep on struggling.

Suppose you’re driving to work when some aggressive driver tries to overtake you. You get annoyed and bothered. You focus your attention in the mirror. If you get mad enough, you might even accelerate just to retaliate. You think to yourself how awful the world has become and how road rage is a sad fact of life.

Even though your assessment of this driver may be correct, this is clearly a battle that you cannot win. By participating in the battle, the best that can happen is that you’ll end up frustrated. At worst, you may even contribute to the cause of an accident. It’s not worth it because either way you lose. By recognizing that this is a battle not worth fighting, you can calmly move to a different lane and allow the driver to go.

Wise have said, “When you’re doing something wrong, doing it more intensely isn’t going to help. Learn to differentiate between a battle worth fighting and one that is better left alone.

@Search for the grain of truth in other opinions......

Almost everyone feels that their own opinions are good ones; otherwise they wouldn’t be sharing them with you. One of the destructive things that many of us do, however, is compare someone else’s opinion to our own. And, when it doesn’t fall in line with our belief, we either dismiss it or find fault with it. We feel smug, the other person feels diminished, and we learn nothing.

Almost every opinion has some merit, especially if we are looking for merit, rather than looking for errors. The next time someone offers you an opinion, rather than judge or criticize it, see if you can find a grain of truth in what the person is saying. If you think about it, when you judge someone else or their opinion, it really doesn’t say anything about the other person, but it says quite a bit about your need to be judgmental.

If you practice this simple idea, some wonderful things will begin to happen: you’ll begin to understand those you interact with, other will be drawn to your accepting and loving energy, your learning curve will be enhanced, and perhaps most important, you’ll feel much better about yourself.

¡¡ Give yourself some appreciation !!

For most of us, there are times when we feel underappreciated, as if no one understands how hard we work and how much we are sincerely trying.

At times, it’s important to stop what you are doing and give yourself sincere appreciation. Take a few moments to reflect on what you’ve been doing and on the nature of your intentions and actions. Mentally review your accomplishments.

Almost everyone loves to be patted on the back by others. It feels good. However, when it’s not happening, don’t let it get you down or adversely affect your attitude. Praise from others is never a certainty, and making it a condition of your happiness is a really bad idea.

What you can do is praise yourself and pat yourself on the back. Be honest and genuine regarding your compliments. If you’re doing a good service, give yourself some credit. If you’re making life a little better for even one person, or making any type of contribution to society, give yourself some credit.

You deserve to be recognized. Actually take the time to do so.
