Be Thankful

Be thankful that you don’t already have anything you desire,
If you did, what would there be to look forward too?

Be thankful when you don’t know something
For it gives you the opportunity to learn

Be thankful for the difficult times
During those times you grow

Be thankful for your limitations
Because they give you opportunities for improvement

Be thankful for each new challenge
Because it will build your strength and character

Be thankful for your mistakes
They will teach you valuable lessons

Be thankful when you are tired and weary
Bacause it means you’ve made a difference

It is easy to be thankful for the good things
A life of rich fulfillment comes to those who are also thankful for the setbacks
Gratitude can turn a negative into positive
Find a way to be thankful for your troubles and they can become your blessing.

Tomorrow is a mystery
Today is God's gift
That's why we call it 'the present'

(Joan Rivers)

Quote #3

"At some point, maybe we accept that the dream has become a nightmare. We tell ourselves the reality is better. We convince ourselves it's better that we never dream at all. But the strongest of us, the most determined of us, we hold on to the dream. Or we find ourselves faced with a fresh dream we never considered. We awake to find ourselves... against all odds... feeling hopeful. And if we're lucky, we realize... in the face of everything, in the face of life, the true dream... is being able to dream... at all."

(Dr. Meredith Grey, Grey's Anatomy -Season 3)

Asy Syams (The Sun)

By the Sun and his (glorious) splendour;
By the Moon as she follows him;
By the Day as it shows up (the Sun's) glory;
By the Night as it conceals it;
By the Firmament and its (wonderful) structure;
By the Earth and its expanse;
By the Soul, and the proportion and order given to it;
And its enlightenment as to its wrong and its right;
Truly he succeeds that purifies it,
And he fails that corrupts it!

Asy Syams (91): 1-10

Menarilah dan terus tertawa
walau dunia tak seindah surga

(Nidji - Laskar Pelangi)

Quote #1

Ada saatnya kita berjuang mengejar impian
Ada kalanya juga kita mesti menerima jalannya takdir
Kapal telah berlayar dan terlalu bodoh untuk mengejarnya
Kadang, sekali dalam hidup kita mesti jadi orang bodoh
Tetapi setidaknya kita bisa belajar kalau kita salah...
