Two Inspirational Poems

Here are two inspirational poems that have helped me tremendously. They encapsulate many of the spiritual tools that enable us to solve our problems.
The Good Things

    If you spend your time thinking about all the things that are wrong
with your life, you'll likely create even more of them. Why would you
want to do that?

   Instead, keep more of your thoughts focused on all the things that
are right with your life. Your attention to those good things in life
will make them stronger and more plentiful.

   What do you enjoy most about the person you are? What gives you a
true and abiding sense of satisfaction? What things do you do that cause
you to know you've made a positive difference in the world? Sincerely
answer these questions, and you cannot help but focus on what is right
with your life.

  Define yourself not by what's wrong, but by what's going right for
you.  Count your many blessings, and you'll be blessed with many more.

  Begin each day reminding yourself of all the things that are right
with your life. And at the end of the day, you'll find even more.

-- Ralph Marston

Do not let your life slip through your fingers
By living in the past nor for the future.


By living your life one day at a time,
You live all the days of your life.


Do not give up
When you still have something to give.


Nothing is really over
Until the moment you stop trying. 


It is a fragile thread
That binds us to each other


Do not be afraid to be willing to encounter risks.
It is by taking chances

That we learn to be grow spiritually.

Do not shut love out of your life
By saying it is impossible to find.

The quickest way to receive love is to give love;
The fastest way to lose love is to hold it too tightly. 


The best way to keep love is to give it wings.
Do not dismiss your dreams.


To be without dreams is to be without hope,
To be without hope is to be without purpose.


Do not run through life
So fast that you forget
Not only where you have been
But also where you are going. 


Life is not a race but a journey, a spiritual journey,
To be savored each step of the way.
-Anonymous
