生活有的时候就象一杯普普通通的白开水,很多时候我们不会在意它的滋味;生活有时候像路边的一棵绿化树,从我们的视野中一晃而过,没有留下什么痕迹;生活有时候像寻常夜空中若隐若现,闪烁移动的几颗星星,我们偶尔会抬头一瞥,视而不见.我们在平凡的生活中追求着幸福,幸福也时刻伴随着我们.只不过在很多时候,我们身处幸福的山中,在远近高低不同的角度看到的却总是别人的幸福风景,往往没有悉心感受自己所拥有的幸福天地.
有人说,自信来源于成功的暗示,也就是说,某项重任或创新一旦成功了,这个人就会自信。然而,此话虽不无道理,却仍未道出自信的根本依据。一个人在做某件事,尤其是在担当重任或大胆创新的时候,就需要自信,也应当自信,而不是只有在成功之后才能自信。
如果你觉得自己不够聪明、能干和美丽,往往是因为你把自己和别人相比较的缘故,或者是把现实中的自己和理想中的模式相比较的结果。人们常常是看到别人怎么美好和幸运,总希望那些美好和幸运能被自己所拥有,却很少想到完全可以通过努力来改变自己,使自己变得更加聪明、能干和美丽,再塑一个全新的自我。

You are the cake? Sometimes we wonder, What did I do to deserve this? or Why did the universe/God do this to me? Here is a message worth considering… A young girl is telling her Mother how everything is going wrong - she's failing algebra, her boyfriend broke up with her, and her best friend is moving away. Her Mother, in the process of baking a cake, asks her daughter if she would like a snack. The girl lights up with, Absolutely Mom, I love your cake. Here, have some cooking oil and a teaspoon of vanilla, her Mother offers. Yuck says her daughter. How about a couple of raw eggs or a tablespoon of butter? Gross, Mom! Would you like some flour then? Or maybe baking soda? Mom, those are all yucky! And the mother replies: Yes, all those things do seem pretty “yucky” on their own but without them – there would be no cake. They are just ingredients, and when they’re processed in the right way, they make a truly delicious cake! The cake is the accumulation of the ingredients added. Every ingredient you leave out - leaves you with less of a cake. Everything in this life comes down to how we think! (Old Tom Grbich proverb) How would your life change if you saw the obstacles and hardships you face, as essential ingredients in making you the best you can be, instead of seeing them as “one more lousy rock in the road?” Interestingly, the greatest growth / progress that humanity has ever enjoyed, has almost always come out of the greatest adversity. Often, the things that we encounter are not our choice and I know there are many spiritualists would disagree with that. I’m willing to concede that the choice is ours – made at another level, but it certainly is not the average person’s (conscious) choice to be raped, robbed, mugged, or to lose a job just after buying that new car or house! Choice is less a matter of “what happens to us,” as it is “how we deal with what happens to us. Instead of immersing ourselves in the “overwhelming problems of life,” perhaps we could make ourselves grateful for the learning opportunities presented. Be grateful – when you look at the adversity that some of us are facing or have faced in this life, you have to appreciate that God/the Universe obviously plans for us to be one hell of a cake! And why would you possibly be angry or sad about that? When you can look at things this way your problems will have an entirely different face. When an event is imposed upon us, it helps immensely to step back and look at what possible good we could make of the situation; and ask “What outcome would we need, in order to be able to say that the challenge was worth it?” I wish upon each of you, all of the ingredients to make you the best cake possible and… Life will often not be the party we might hope for, but while we’re here we might as well dance.
