"You won't fully enjoy a swing unless you raise your feet from the ground. You won't fully enjoy a boat ride unless you remove the rope's knot from the river bank. Your dog won't fully enjoy his or her dog life unless you remove the chain on his or her neck. Never ever limit yourself when it comes to happiness, learn how to let go and move on. Life is beautiful. Live it! Like you mean it..."

A lecturer explaining stress management to the audience, raised a glass of water and asked, "How heavy is this glass of water?" Answers called out ranged from 20 grams to 500 grams. The lecturer replied, "The absolute weight doesn't matter. It depends on how long you try to hold it. If you carry your burdens all the time, sooner or later, the burden becomes increasingly heavy. You won't be able to carry on." Learn to forgive and forget and leave it all to God.

Beat this logic:
The boyfriend and girlfriend were blaming each other for the unwanted pregnancy of the girl.
BF: You must take care of the baby. He'll be coming out from you so that's yours!
After a long moment of silence...
GF: So, if you put a coin into a vending machine and a coke comes out, does the coke belong to you or to the machine?
100% logical.

A philosophy professor asked his students just one question for their final exam. The question was, "How are you going to make me believe that this chair in front of you is invisible?"
It took all of the students one hour to finish writing the answer except for one lazy student who only took 3 seconds. After that day, the results were posted. The lazy student got the highest score. Know what his answer is?
"What chair?"
Lessons don't complicate simple things in life.

"A heart made of ice doesn't need someone who has flame throwers to melt the ice away but someone who patiently waits until the ice melts by itself."

Blessings do come as a surprise and how much we receive depends on how much our hearts can believe. May the Lord bless you beyond expectations.

Making the first move to patch things up shouldn't always come from the one who made the mistake. Sometimes, it can come from the one who understands.

An arrow can be shot only by pulling it backward so when life is dragging you back with difficulties, it means that it's going to launch you into something great.

Sometimes, your existence gives hope to a person. Sometimes, your smile maybe a pearl for someone. Your presence might be the desire of the one who loves you dearly. So value yourself! Exist for a reason.

"Worries are like birds; let them fly over you. But do not let them build a nest on your head. Life is a precious gift. Keep it worry free."

A clay pot containing milk will be valued higher than a golden pot containing poison. Our inner values make us a lot more valuable than our outer look and glamor.

It's your heart that makes you the best. You are wonderful according to what you are, not according to what you have. Keep that heart shining.

The strong became weak. The genius became stupid. The speechless became talkative. The conservative became flirty. And it happened because of one thing: "Hubog."
