The word ‘investment’ usually gets used where financial transactions are concerned. Money is not the only thing investable. We invest time, our hearts and our minds. Our support of others is also an investment and it’s your support of someone that is needed now. Don’t focus on dwell on what you might gain in a material sense. There’s so much more to be gained in other ways.

Taking Action

The best time to start was last year. The second best time is right now.
“Often the difference between a successful person and the failure is not one’s better abilities or ideas, but the courage that one has to bet on one’s idea, to take a calculated risk – and to act” André Malraux
It takes courage to take action without instructions from the person in charge. Perhaps that’s why initiative is a rare quality that’s coveted by managers and executives everywhere. Seize the initiative. When you have a good idea, start implementing it without being told. Once people see you’re serious about getting things done they’ll want to join in. The people at the top don’t have anyone telling them what to do. If you want to join them, you should get used to acting independently.
Progress

Sometimes, certain situations appear to worsen before they improve. Note the word ‘appear’. We believe a particular development to be negative because such developments tend to appear out of the blue and throw carefully-laid plans into chaos. We overlook the fact that the seemingly negative development is actually a progression.
Taking a Risk
Posted in Affection, devotion, Love, tagged Commitment, love, Risk on January 10, 2013| Leave a Comment »
If we’re certain about something before we take a risk, then are we really taking a risk? Risks tend to get taken when an element of the unknown exists or when we believe we’ve ‘nothing to lose’. We appear willing to throw caution to the wind in some way because it’s an option that hasn’t been tried as yet.
To risk ourselves we must want something very much. We must also have the courage to commit ourselves to that which we want so that in the face of difficulty, in the face of possible disappointment, we will go forward anyhow.
Commitment of the heart is the basis for risk, a commitment to something we believe in – to an ideal, a way of life, a person whom we love. Even though there are other motives that propel people into taking risks, commitment of the heart is the one that partakes of the spiritual because it bases risk-taking on what we value and on what we love.
A life of indifference, cynicism, or withdrawal will not produce risk-taking. In order to risk something, we must believe in something. We must be committed to it, whether it is a person, an idea, or God himself. To risk something large, our level of commitment must be equally large so that what drives us forward is nothing other than love itself.
Inspiration

Inspiration, when I feel inspired, I am moved, touched and ignited. I feel something shift inside me. Something is stirred. Awakened.
I would define Inspiration as follow
Creativity: Inspiration feeds the creative pulse. It begins the bubbling up of new ideas. The creative inner spark is ignited and excitement takes over to an level of unknown abilities of the human kind.
Stimulation: Inspiration is a state of stimulation. Stimulation of your mind, your emotions and very often your whole body. It is an internal state that flows outwards as well as inward and often calls you to action.
New Ideas: They are moments of inspiration where new ideas are birthed. It is where your heart and mind unite. The inner feeling triggers a chain of new ideas. You see yourself in a new way. You see what is possible. You discover something different or unique.
Beauty: Inspiration carries with a sense of beauty. I am deeply inspired by beauty. A beautiful sunset, a beautiful piece of music, a beautiful person. Seeing the beauty in something connects you with it’s essence. Seeing the beauty in someone else inspires us to connect with the beauty in ourselves.
Spirit: Inspiring to let your soul smiling to the world and the world reacting upon your positive spirit and energy, caring the way that even strangers can pick up the positive energy. Using it wisely will make a difference in your life and the people you touch.
I would say that feeling inspired, is just a great state of mind to be able to share with those in need of Inspiration to create a better happier world.
The Beauty of A Woman
Posted in Affection, devotion, Embraceable, Love, tagged beautiful, confidence, kiss, woman on December 17, 2012| Leave a Comment »
The beauty of a woman must be seen from her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides. Therefore beauty and love to a large extent are inseparable.You don’t love a woman because she is beautiful, rather she is beautiful because you love her. Therefore love brings out the beauty in a woman.
The heart/soul – The true Beauty of a Woman does not come from looking at oneself in the mirror. It comes from looking deep inside oneself to know what makes up their heart because it is the heart that determines a woman’s true beauty.
As woman you do not need a perfect figure to be beautiful – a disarming smile from the depths of the heart makes you completely beautiful and a desire of every living being.
You do not need expensive wardrobe to impress – a confident and positive look is far more precious. It gives you an edge to win people to yourself.
You do not need make-up or new hair style to attract that guy – your joy in life and passionate pursuits make you sparkle, radiating with excitement and energy. He cannot but notice you every time whenever he sees you.
My personal tip to woman who still doubt the confidence of their beauty:
For attractive lips, speak words of kindness.
For lovely eyes, seek out the good in people.
For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry.
For beautiful hair, let a child run his or her fingers through it once a day.
For poise, walk with the knowledge that you never walk alone. These will certainly make you a beauty to behold.
To maintain beauty let your heart grow with the love, care and consideration of your beloved one. Share the ultimate moment waking up in his arms wishing each other a simple good morning/kiss and before falling a sleep a good night/kiss, most important just simple randomly spontaneous hugs as a sign of effecting can change a day. And those crossing the world always leave a little note of appreciation to your beloved ones.
Caring

If you could take another’s persons pain and feel it instead, you would. But even the greatest love doesn’t allow for this. However it is comforting to know people like you exist
