HeartSpeaks :Story - You can not cheat yourself.

You can not cheat yourself.

 

A woman in our diet club was lamenting that she had gained weight.  She'd made her family's favorite cake over the weekend, she reported, and they'd eaten half of it at dinner.

 

The next day, she said, she kept staring at the other half, until finally she had cut a thin slice for herself.  One slice led to another, and soon the whole cake was gone.  The woman went on to tell us how upset she was with her lack of willpower, and how she knew her husband would be disappointed.

 

Everyone commiserated until someone asked what her husband said when he found out.  She smiled.  "He never found out.  I made another cake and ate half!"

 

Whom do you think you are cheating? You can cheat some of the people all of the times; or all of the people of the times; but yourself never. “To thy own self be honest.”

The Frogs(inspirational story)

A farmer came into town and asked the owner of a restaurant if he could use a million frog legs. The restaurant owner was shocked and asked the man where he could get so many frog legs! The farmer replied, 'There is a pond near my house that is full of frogs - millions of them. They all croak all night long and they are about to make me crazy!'  So the restaurant owner and the farmer made an agreement that the farmer would deliver frogs to the restaurant, five hundred at a time for the next several weeks.

The first week, the farmer returned to the restaurant looking rather sheepish, with two scrawny little frogs. The restaurant owner said, 'Well... where are all the frogs?'   The farmer said, 'I was mistaken. There were only these two frogs in the pond.   But they sure were making a lot of noise!' 

Next time you hear somebody criticizing or making fun of you, remember, it's probably just a couple of noisy frogs. Also remember that problems always seem bigger in the dark. Have you ever laid in your bed at night worrying about things which seem almost overwhelming like a million frogs croaking? Chances are pretty good that when the morning comes, and you take a closer look, you'll wonder what all the fuss was about.

Interesting Story--God's address

A beggar sat outside a temple begging for alms. “In the name of Bhagavan,” he said, “give this poor man a few paise. Bhagavan will bless you.” But he never succeeded in getting enough to have a meal.

 

In sheer disgust he left the temple area and sat near, where you know, people go in the evening to quench their thirst, repeating his usual plea. “A few paise in the name of Bhagavan.”  People coming out in high spirits, gave him ‘not a few paise’, but threw in rupee notes.

 

The beggar thanked the Lord; “Hey Bhagavan! Your ways are inscrutable. You give one address, but live at another.”

BE ENCOURAGED (inspiring. please read)

I needed this................truly   To:             YOU Date:            TODAY From:           GOD Subject:       YOURSELF Reference:   LIFE This is God.  Today I will be handling All of your problems for you.  I do Not need your help.  So, have a nice day. I love you. P.S.  And, remember... If life happens to deliver a situation to you that you cannot handle, do Not attempt to resolve it yourself!  Kindly put it in the SFGTD (something for God to do) box. I will get to it in MY TIME.  All situations will be resolved, but in My time, not yours. Once the matter is placed into the box, do not hold onto it by worrying about it.  Instead, focus on all the wonderful things that are present in your life now. If you find yourself stuck in traffic, don't despair. There are people in this world for whom driving is an unheard of privilege. Should you have a bad day at work; think of the man who has been out of work for years. Should you despair over a relationship gone bad; think of the person who has never known what it's like to love and be loved in return. Should you grieve the passing of another weekend; think of the woman in dire straits, working twelve hours a day, seven days a week to feed her children. Should your car break down, leaving you miles away from assistance; think of the paraplegic who would love the opportunity to take that walk. Should you notice a new grey hair in the mirror; think of the cancer patient in chemo who wishes she had the hair to examine. Should you find yourself at a loss and pondering what is life all about, asking what is my purpose? Be thankful. There are those who didn't live long enough to get the opportunity. Should you find yourself the victim of other people's bitterness, ignorance, smallness or insecurities; remember, things could be worse. You could be one of them! Should you decide to send this to a friend; Thank you. You may have touched their life in ways you will never know! Now, you have a nice day... God has seen you struggle, God says it's over. A blessing is coming your way NOW. Please encourage someone by sharing this.   Remain blessed

When God throws a brick at you... Worth reading

 Worth reading ……….,

" To live a single day and hear a good teaching is better than to live a hundred years without knowing such teaching" -Buddha     The Brick!! Read this today and don't delete it even   if you are too busy!! You'll see. THE BRICK A young and successful executive was traveling down a neighborhood street, going a bit too fast in his new Jaguar. He was watching for kids darting out from between parked cars and slowed down when he thought he saw something. As his car passed, no children appeared. Instead, a brick smashed into the Jag's side door! He slammed on the brakes and backed the Jag back to the spot where the brick had been thrown. The angry driver then jumped out of the car, grabbed the nearest kid and pushed him up against a parked car shouting, 'What was that all about and who are you? Just what the heck are you doing? That's a new car and that brick you threw is going to cost a lot of money. Why did you do it?' The young boy was apologetic. 'Please, mister...please, I'm sorry but I didn't know what else to do,' He pleaded. 'I threw the brick because no one else would stop...' With tears dripping down his face and off his chin, the youth pointed to a spot just around a parked car. 'It's my brother,' he said, 'he rolled off the curb and fell out of his wheelchair and I can't lift him up.' Now sobbing, the boy asked the stunned executive, 'Would you please help me get him back into his wheelchair? He's hurt and he's too heavy for me.' Moved beyond words, the driver tried to swallow the rapidly swelling lump in his throat. He hurriedly lifted the handicapped boy back into the wheelchair, then took out a linen handkerchief and dabbed at the fresh scrapes and cuts. A quick look told him everything was going to be okay 'Thank you and may God bless you,' the grateful child told the stranger. Too shook up for words, the man simply watched the boy push his wheelchair-bound brother down the sidewalk toward their home. It was a long, slow walk back to the Jaguar.. The damage was very noticeable, but the driver never bothered to repair the dented side door. He kept the dent there to remind him of this message: 'Don't go through life so fast that someone has to throw a brick at you to get your attention!' God whispers in our souls and speaks to our hearts. Sometimes when we don't have time to listen, He has to throw a brick at us. It's our choice to listen or not. Thought for the Day: If God had a refrigerator, your picture would be on it. If He had a wallet, your photo would be in it. He sends you flowers every spring. He sends you a sunrise every morning Face it, friend - He is crazy about you! Send this to every 'beautiful person' you wish to bless. God didn't promise days without pain, laughter without sorrow,sun without rain, but He did promise strength for the day, comfort for the tears, and light for the way. Read this line very slowly and let it sink in... If God brings you to it, He will bring you through it.

TRUE INSPIRING STORY. WHEN A LIZARD CAN, WHY CAN'T WE?

TRUE INSPIRING STORY… WHEN A LIZARD CAN, WHY CAN'T WE? This is a true story that happened in Japan. In order to renovate the house, someone in Japan breaks open the wall. Japanese houses normally have a hollow space between the wooden walls. When tearing down the walls, he found that there was a lizard stuck there because a nail from outside hammered into one of its feet. He sees this, feels pity, and at the same time curious, as when he checked the nail, it was nailed 5 years ago when the house was first built !!! What happened? The lizard has survived in such position for 5 years! In a dark wall partition for 5 years without moving, it is impossible and mind-boggling. Then he wondered how this lizard survived for 5 years! without moving a single step— since its foot was nailed! So he stopped his work and observed the lizard, what it has been doing, and what and how it has been eating. Later, not knowing from where it came, appears another lizard, with food in its mouth. Ah! He was stunned and touched deeply. For the lizard that was stuck by nail, another lizard has been feeding it for the past 5 years... Imagine? it has been doing that untiringly for 5 long years, without giving up hope on its partner. Imagine what a small creature can do that a creature blessed with a brilliant mind can't. Please never abandon your loved ones Lesson from the Story: Never Say you are Busy When They Really Need You ... You May Have The Entire World At Your Feet. But You Might Be The Only World To Them.. A Moment of negligence might break the very heart which loves you thru all odds.. Before you say something just remember..it takes a moment to Break but an entire lifetime to make...
