Food for thoughts
Maybe we are meant to meet the wrong people before meeting the right
one so that when we finally meet the right person, we will know how to
be grateful for that gift.
maybe when the door of happiness closes, another opens, but often
times we look so long at the closed door that we don't see the one
which has been opened for us.
Maybe the best kind of friend is the kind you can sit on a porch and
swing with, never say a word, and then walk away feeling like it was
the best conversation you've ever had.
Maybe it is true that we don't know what we have got until we lose it,
but it is also true that we don't know what we have been missing until
it arrives.
Giving someone all your love is never an assurance that they will love
you back. Don't expect love in return; just wait for it to grow in
their heart; but if it does not, be content it grew in yours.
It takes only a minute to get a crush on someone, an hour to like
someone, and a day to love someone, but it takes a lifetime to forget someone.
Don't go for looks; they can deceive. Don't go for wealth; even that
fades away. Go for someone who makes you smile because it takes only a
smile to make a dark day seem bright. Find the one that makes your heart smile.
There are moments in life when you miss someone so much that you just
want to pick them from your dreams and hug them for real.
Dream what you want to dream; go where you want to go; be what you
want to be, because you have only one life and one chance to do all
the things you want to do.
May you have enough happiness to make you sweet, enough trials to make
you strong, enough sorrow to keep you human, enough hope to make you happy.
Always put yourself in others' shoes. If you feel that it hurts you,
it probably hurts the other person, too.
The happiest of people don't necessarily have the best of everything;
they just make the most of everything that comes along their way.
Happiness lies for those who cry, those who hurt, those who have
searched, and those who have tried, for only they can appreciate the
importance of people who have touched their lives.
Love begins with a smile, grows with a kiss and ends with a tear.
The brightest future will always be based on a forgotten past, you
can't go on well in life until you let go of your past failures and heartaches.
When you were born, you were crying and everyone around you was smiling.
Live your life so that when you die, you are the one who is smiling
and everyone around you is crying.

pour savourer l'instant présent
Comment envisageriez-vous 2011 si on vous apprenait aujourd’hui que vous aurez un accident mortel en décembre prochain? Dans quelle émotion cela vous plongerait-il? Une étude récente suggère que cela produirait quatre choses en vous. Premièrement, vous décideriez de vivre cette année au max. Vous choisiriez de profiter de chaque instant, de chaque contact, de chaque personne. Cette attitude vous permettrait de ressentir ces neuf émotions qui font que la vie vaut la peine d’être vécue : la joie, la gratitude, l’intérêt. La sérénité, l’espoir, la fierté, l’amusement, l’élévation et l’amour.Deuxièmement, vous deviendriez conscient du souvenir que vous laisserez une fois décédé. En conséquence, vous vous assureriez d’agir en fonction des valeurs qui vous sont les plus chères et d’aider les gens que vous avez à cœur. Troisièmement, vous apprendriez à savourer davantage chaque moment agréable. Vous l’anticiperiez. Vous le dégusteriez et vous le chéririez dans votre mémoire par la suite.Quatrièmement, vous retrouveriez le goût du risque. Ces choses que vous vous êtes promis de faire depuis longtemps et que vous avez pris l’habitude de remettre à plus tard deviendraient soudainement plus urgentes. Parions que ce patron que vous n’aimez pas se ferait dire ses quatre vérités!Au bout du compte, vous vivriez probablement l’année la plus satisfaisante de toute votre vie. Les jours acquièrent une valeur particulière quand on sait qu’ils nous sont comptés. Il en va de même de tous les événements (un bon repas, un coucher de soleil, le sourire d’un collègue, etc.) qu’on a tendance à tenir pour acquis.J’ai une bonne nouvelle pour vous : vous pouvez décider dès maintenant, sans qu’on vous annonce quelque événement tragique que ce soit, que 2011 sera votre meilleure année. Tout ce que vous avez à faire pour y arriver, c’est d’adopter les quatre comportements que je viens de vous présenter. Ressentez chaque jour les neuf émotions présentées plus haut. Pour ce faire, rappelez-vous les moments où vous les avez ressenties et provoquez-les de nouveau. Agissez en fonction de vos valeurs. Apprenez à savourer l’instant présent et retrouvez le goût du risque.Au besoin, relisez Pourquoi vous contenter d’être heureux? ou tout autre livre qui vous a inspiré et poussé à attendre ce qu’il y a de mieux dans la vie. Qu’il ne vous reste que 12 mois à vivre ou qu’il vous reste 100 ans importe peu. Chaque instant est compté. Profitez-en! Et l’an prochain, vous pourrez décider que 2012 sera meilleure encore. Vous aurez développé les habiletés nécessaires pour qu’il en soit ainsi. www.alainsamson.net
