• The Dalai Lama, when asked what surprised him most about humanity, he said:
  “Man.
  Because he sacrifices his health in order to make money.
  Then he sacrifices money to recuperate his health.
  And then he is so anxious about the future that he does not enjoy the present;
  the result being that he does not live in the present or the future;
  he lives as if he is never going to die, and then dies having never really lived.”

  When I was 5 years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down ‘happy.’ They told me I didn’t understand the assignment, and I told them they didn’t understand life." - John Lennon.

   Arthur Ashe, the legendary Wimbledon player was dying of AIDS which he got due to infected blood he recieved during a heart surgery in 1983.

  From the world over, he recieved letters from his fan, one of them conveyed: "Why does God have to select you for such a bad disease?".

  To this Arthur Ashe replied: The world over--50,000,000 children start playing tennis, 5,000,000 learn to play tennis, 500,000 learn profesional tennis, 50,000 come to the circuit, 5000 reach the grand slam, 50 reach the Wimbledon, 4 to semi finals, 2 to finals. When I was the one holding the cup, I never asked god "Why me?".

  And today in pain, I should not be asking GOD "why me?".

  people fail to recognize the good things that happen in their lives every day - The Alchemist

  "If you want to live your life in a creative way, as an artist, you have to not look back too much. You have to be willing to take whatever you’ve done
  and whoever you were and throw them away.
  The more the outside world tries to reinforce an image of you, the harder it is to continue to be an artist, which is why a lot of times, artists have to
  say, “Bye. I have to go. I’m going crazy and I’m getting out of here.” And they go and hibernate somewhere. Maybe later they re-emerge a little
  differently."

  You can do anything, but not everything.
  —David Allen

   “When I Asked God for Strength
He Gave Me Difficult Situations to Face

When I Asked God for Brain & Brown
He Gave Me Puzzles in Life to Solve

When I Asked God for Happiness
He Showed Me Some Unhappy People

When I Asked God for Wealth
He Showed Me How to Work Hard

When I Asked God for Favors
He Showed Me Opportunities to Work Hard

When I Asked God for Peace
He Showed Me How to Help Others

God Gave Me Nothing I Wanted
He Gave Me Everything I Needed.”
