Just because you can’t see it doesn’t mean it isn’t there. You can’t see the future, yet you know it will come. You can’t see 
the air, yet you continue to breathe.

Quote of the day

We waste too much time putting ourselves down, so much that we don’t ever stop to see that we are truly good enough. We spend too much time with our heads down and hearts closed, and never get a chance to look up from the ground and see that the sun is shining and tomorrow is another day

Stay Sharp Story

Stay Sharp!

Once upon a time a very strong woodcutter asked for a job in a timber merchant, and he got it. The pay was really good and so were the work conditions. For that reason, the woodcutter was determined to do his best. 

His boss gave him an axe and showed him the area where he was supposed to work. The first day, the woodcutter brought 18 trees. 

"Congratulations," the boss said. "Go on that way!" Very motivated for the boss' words, the woodcutter tries harder the next day, but he only could bring 15 trees. The third day he tries even harder, but he only could bring 10 trees. Day after day he was bringing less and less trees. 

"I must be losing my strength", the woodcutter thought. He went to the boss and apologized, saying that he could not understand what was going on. 

"When was the last time you sharpened your axe?" the boss asked. "Sharpen? I had no time to sharpen my axe. I have been very busy trying to cut trees." 

Our lives are like that. We sometimes get so busy that we don't take time to sharpen the axe." In today's world, it seems that everyone is busier than ever, but less happy than ever. Why is that? Could it be that we have forgotten how to stay sharp? 

There's nothing wrong with activity and hard work. We all need time to relax, to think and meditate proper and continuous care for the family, to learn and grow. If we don't take time to sharpen the axe, we will become dull and lose our effectiveness. So start today. Think about the ways by which you could do your job more effectively and add a lot of value to it.

you still have hope ♥

If you can look at the sunset and smile,

then you still have hope.

If you can find beauty in the colors of a small flower,

then you still have hope.

If you can find pleasure in the movement of a butterfly,

then you still have hope.

If the smile of a child can still warm your heart,

then you still have hope.

If you can see the good in other people,

then you still have hope.

If the rain breaking on a roof top can still lull you to sleep,

then you still have hope.

If the sight of a rainbow still makes you stop and stare in wonder,

then you still have hope.

If the soft fur of a favored pet still feels pleasant under your fingertips,

then you still have hope.

If you meet new people with a trace of excitement and optimism,

then you still have hope.

If you give people the benefit of a doubt,

then you still have hope.

If you still offer your hand in friendship to others that have touched your life,

then you still have hope.

If receiving an unexpected card or letter still brings a pleasant surprise,

then you still have hope.

If the suffering of others still fills your with pain and frustration,

then you still have hope.

If you refuse to let a friendship die,

or accept that it must end,

then you still have hope.

If you look forward to a time or place of quiet and reflection,

then you still have hope.

If you still buy the ornaments,

put up the Christmas tree or cook the supper,

then you still have hope.

If you can look to the past and smile,

then you still have hope.

If, when faced with the bad,

when told everything is futile,

you can still look up and end the conversation with the phrase..."yeah...BUT.,"

then you still have hope.

Hope is such a marvelous thing.

It bends, it twists, it sometimes hides,

but rarely does it break.

It sustains us when nothing else can.

It gives us reason to continue and courage to move ahead,

when we tell ourselves we'd rather give in.

Hope puts a smile on our face

when the heart cannot manage.

Hope puts our feet on the path

when our eyes cannot see it.

Hope moves us to act

when our souls are confused of the direction.

Hope is a wonderful thing,

something to be cherished and nurtured,

and something that will refresh us in return.

And it can be found in each of us,

and it can bring light into the darkest of places.

NEVER LOSE HOPE!

There’s no need to rush. If something’s meant to be, it’ll happen. In the right time, with the right person, and for the best reason.
