Essence of trust is not in its bind

A little girl and her father were crossing a bridge.

The father was kind of scared so he asked his little daughter:

"Sweetheart, please hold my hand so that you don't fall into the river." 
The little girl said:

"No, Dad. You hold my hand."

"What's the difference?" Asked the puzzled father.

"There's a big difference," replied the little girl.

"If I hold your hand and something happens to me, chances are that I may let your hand go. But if you hold my hand, I know for sure that no matter what happens, you will never let my hand go."

In any relationship, the essence of trust is not in its bind, but in its bond. 
So hold the hand of the person whom you love rather than expecting them to hold yours.

I am Thankful

For the wife

who says it's hot dogs tonight,

because she is home with me,

and not out with someone else.

For the husband

who is on the sofa

being a couch potato,

because he is home with me

and not out at the bars.

For the teenager

who is complaining about doing dishes

because it means she is at home,

not on the streets.

For the taxes i pay

because it means

i am employed.

For the mess to clean after a party

because it means i have

been surrounded by friends.

For the clothes that fit a little too snug

because it means

i have enough to eat.

For my shadow that watches me work

because it means

i am out in the sunshine

For a lawn that needs mowing,

windows that need cleaning,

and gutters that need fixing

because it means i have a home.

For all the complaining

i hear about the government

because it means

we have freedom of speech..

For the parking spot

i find at the far end of the parking lot

because it means i am capable of walking

and i have been blessed with transportation.

For my huge heating bill

because it means

i am warm.

For the pile of laundry and ironing

because it means

i have clothes to wear.

For weariness and aching muscles

at the end of the day

because it means i have been

capable of working hard.

For the alarm that goes off

in the early morning hours

because it means i am alive.

End up same place we started

Just cause someone steers us wrong

Don't mean we no longer have the wheel. 

To change your direction life, 

we need to change our point of veiw. 

And other times, we just need to stop while were ahead, 

before we end up at the same place as we started.

People you can't live without, can live without you

Sometimes...

when people decide to leave you for good, you have to let them. 

No matter how much you don't want them to, there are some things that are far beyond our control. 

And even if you have the strength to fight for them,

you have to accept the cold, harsh truth 

''That the people you can't live without, can live without YOU."

people who truly love you will always choose to stay

Don't let yourself be stopped by anything 

from doing what you have always wanted. 

We are all afraid of not fitting into this world, of not being accepted. 

But it only takes for you to look around 

and figure out that you are sorrounded by people who love you unconditionally. 

Feel free to make mistakes because even 

if you shrug them away.. 

People who truly love you will always choose to stay.

We spend more, but enjoy less

Today we have higher buildings and wider highways, 

but shorter temperments and narrower points of view.

We spend more, but enjoy less. 

We have bigger houses, but smaller families. 

We have more compromises, but less time. 

We have more knowledge, but less judgement. 

We have more medicines, but less health.

We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values. 

We talk much, we love only a little, and we hate too much.

We reached the moon and came back, but we find it troublesome to cross our own street and meet our neighbors. 

We have conquered the outer space, but not our inner space.

We have higher income, but less morals… 

These are times with more liberty, but less joy… 

With much more food, but less nutrition…

These are days in which two salaries come home, but divorces increase. 

These are times of finer houses, but more broken homes.

Sometimes

Sometimes all you can give is love

Sometimes all you have is not enough

Sometimes life is like a dream

Sometimes dreams aren’t what they seem

Sometimes laughter can heal your heart

Sometimes it’s laughter that breaks it apart

Sometimes the world goes faster than you can go

Sometimes even fast is still too slow

Sometimes going home is the only thing on your mind

Sometimes home is the only place you can’t find

Sometimes you are too tired to sleep

Sometimes you are too sad to weep

Sometimes freedom holds you back

Sometimes a wedding dress is black

Sometimes loneliness is what you need

Sometimes there’s a harvest without a seed

Sometimes darkness can be too bright

Sometimes rain gives you delight

Sometimes you think you understand

Sometimes you know you really can’t

Sometimes what sets you free are restrictions

Sometimes what makes most sense are contradictions

Realise and treasure every moment

Imagine there is a bank account that credits your account each morning with $86,400. It carries over no balance from day to day.

Every evening the bank deletes whatever part of the balance you failed to use during the day. What would you do? Draw out every cent, of course?

Each of us has such a bank. 

It's name is TIME.

Every morning, it credits you with 86,400 seconds.

Every night it writes off as lost, 

whatever of this you have failed to invest to a good purpose.

It carries over no balance. 

It allows no over draft. 

Each day it opens a new account for you. 

Each night it burns the remains of the day.

If you fail to use the day's deposits, the loss is yours. 

There is no drawing against "tomorrow."

You must live in the present on today's deposits. Invest it so as to get from it the utmost in health, happiness and success!

The clock is running!! Make the most of today.

To realise the value of ONE YEAR, ask a student who failed a grade.

To realise the value of ONE MONTH, ask a mother who has given birth to a premature baby.

To realise the value of ONE WEEK, ask the editor of a weekly newspaper.

To realise the value of ONE HOUR, ask the lovers who are waiting to meet.

To realise the value of ONE MINUTE, ask a person who just missed a train.

To realise the value of ONE SECOND, ask someone who just avoided an accident.

To realise the value of ONE MILLISECOND, ask the person who won a silver medal at the Olympics.

Treasure every moment that you have! And treasure it more because you shared it with someone special, special enough to spend your time with. 

And remember time waits for no one.

Yesterday is history. Tomorrow is a mystery. Today is a gift. That's why its called the present.

Waiting

When you wait for someone for few minutes, It's your need. 

When you wait for someone for few hours, It's your trust. 

When you wait for someone for few weeks, It's your friendship. 

But if you are waiting for someone even 

after knowing that he/she will never come, 

It's your love. 

from BQ's fan - Karthik

So why bother?

Calling me fake, won't make you real.

Calling me stupid, won't make you smart.

Calling me weak, won't make you strong.

Calling me ugly, won't make you beautiful.

Calling me poor, won't make you rich.

so why bother?

Sometimes goodbye really are forever

After a while you learn the difference between 

holding a hand & falling in love. 

You begin to learn that kisses don't always mean something, 

promises can be broken just as quickly as they are made 

..and sometimes goodbyes really are forever.

If...

if you're gonna love me, love me deeply

if you're gonna break my heart, break it all

if you're gonna care, care for me completely

if you decide to not hold me, just let me fall

if you're gonna stay, stay forever

and if you want to leave, leave it today

if you're gonna change, change for the better

if you're gonna talk, mean what you say

Keep my head up

Just because I laugh a lot, 

doesn't mean my life is easy. 

Just because I have a smile on my face every day, 

doesn't mean that somethings not bothering me. 

Its just that I choose to move on with the negative in my life, 

and keep my head up, instead of dwelling on the past.

That’s how you learn

You have to get hurt. That’s how you learn. 

The strongest people out there, 

the ones who laugh the hardest with a genuine smile, 

those are the people who have fought the toughest battles. 

Because they’ve decided that they’re not going to let anything hold them down, they’re showing the world who’s the boss.

Word don't mean anything

You can say sorry a million times, 
say I love you as much as you want, 
say whatever you want, whenever you want. 


But if you’re not going to prove that the things you say are true, 
then don’t say anything at all. 
Because if you can’t show it, your words don’t mean a thing.

Happiness is just one positive thought away...

"If you are unhappy and waiting for something or someone outside of yourself to change and make you happy, the problem is you could be waiting your whole life to be happy. You have to take control and take a stand in your own life and make it happen. There is nothing, or no one who is responsible for making that happen but you! Happiness comes from within, it's a positive mind set that does not depend upon the outside circumstances that are going on in your life. Start today, happiness is just one positive thought away."
