Sometimes you can't answer certain questions. Sometimes there are things that are purely your own. You can't always reciprocate everyone's love. I'm going through a time where if I take one step forward, I have to take two steps back when making a decision. Life is truly strange and diverse. Some decisions, some things are not in our own hands.The journey of life begins with a dream. Fortune favors those who understand the beauty of dreams. When your heartbeat is alright, everything else is still. Then there is enough time to dream. When people's affection and love fade away, it takes time to recover from it. If you want to make your life beautiful, try to be grateful. It is not right to feel grateful and disappointed at the same time. There are two types of gratitude: we express gratitude for what we receive, and secondly, we feel much more gratitude for what we give. People achieve various successes, but it is not possible without the help of others. Joy is the simplest form of gratitude. My love to all of you. I don't want to be away from your love. But sometimes there is nothing one can do for oneself. Love loves only him, loves him and binds him. #thinkingaboutmylife #dream #betterlife #shahrukhislam #nishu4shaku

A selection of quotes by Erich Fromm about love, life and death: “People do not see that the main question is not : "Am I loved?" which is to a large extent the question : "Am I approved of? Am I protected? Am I admired?" The main question is: "Can I love?” “Giving is the highest expression of potency. In the very act of giving, I experience my strength, my wealth, my power. This experience of heightened vitality and potency fills me with joy. I experience myself as overflowing, spending, alive, hence as joyous. Giving is more joyous than receiving, not because it is a deprivation, but because in the act of giving lies the expression of my aliveness.” “Man’s main task is to give birth to himself.” “The whole life of the individual is nothing but the process of giving birth to himself; indeed, we should be fully born when we die - although it is the tragic fate of most individuals to die before they are born.” #erichfromm #whatislove #strength #wealth #power #vitality #alive #joy #happiness #giving #generosity #selfexpression #aliveness #authenticity #livingfully #deathpositivity #purpose #lifepurpose #love

Water Your Garden #2: Cultivate Gratitude Honey, gratitude is like sunshine for your soul—it makes everything grow. Take time each day to count your blessings and express appreciation for the beauty in your life. Whether it's a smile from a stranger or a moment of peace, cultivate gratitude and watch how it transforms your perspective. Call to Action: What are you grateful for today? Take a moment to reflect and share your gratitude with the world or at least one person who can feel your love.

𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗱𝗼 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗸𝗻𝗼𝘄 𝗵𝗲 𝗹𝗼𝘃𝗲𝘀 𝘆𝗼𝘂? Yes, I’m talking to you. 𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗱𝗼 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗸𝗻𝗼𝘄 𝗵𝗲 𝗹𝗼𝘃𝗲𝘀 𝘆𝗼𝘂? We hear and say the words "I love you" so often, whether in romantic or platonic relationships, that sometimes we lose sight of what they truly mean. But here’s the thing: 𝙡𝙤𝙫𝙚 𝙞𝙨 𝙨𝙖𝙘𝙧𝙞𝙛𝙞𝙘𝙚. True love isn’t just about saying the words; it’s about the actions behind them. Sacrifice means giving up something valuable—your time, energy, even your comfort—for the sake of someone else. And not everyone who says "I love you" can make that kind of sacrifice. Think about it. A sacrifice that costs you nothing isn’t really a sacrifice at all. But guess who made the greatest sacrifice for us : God. He gave His Son for you and me. That’s love beyond words, and it’s something we should be forever grateful for. So, before you say “I love you” to your husband, wife, friend, or anyone in your life, ask yourself—are you willing to make sacrifices for them? Let’s give our words weight, understand what we’re truly saying, and live up to it. True love is action. True love is sacrifice.

What my dad would like for you to know,🤗😊🌼 #sharingiscaring 1. Open your heart To know a person, you have to know their heart. Show others your heart. Be wise enough to know who and when to show your love. They will never know it if you don’t show it. 2. Be forgiving Eph.4:32 “Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgive each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.” Living a life of bitterness and unforgiveness leads to a lonely life. Learning to forgive can be difficult because of the hurt but keeping bitterness inside you will only hurt your life. 3. Laugh and be happy Phil. 4:4 "Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice". There is enough stress in the world that can rob us of happiness. Find humor in things and find humor in yourselves. I have learned that when you can laugh at yourself you can love yourself more. 4. Love yourself There is nothing wrong with loving yourself. Each one of you is created by God to be you. No one else is like you, you are unique, you each have different personalities, different likes and dislikes. That is what makes you, YOU! You are created to be you and make a difference in the world with how you are created. 5. Be thankful Col.3:17 "And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.” Be thankful that you can wake up each day. Be thankful that you have life and a chance to love, forgive and make a difference. Be thankful for the small blessings as well as the big blessings. A life of thankfulness will bring much joy in your life. 6. Avoid comparing yourself with others. Comparing yourself with others will destroy you. It will make your heart close up and create bitterness. It will limit your joy and happiness, limit your ability to love yourself and make you lose sight of your purpose and ability to make a difference. Every morning look in the mirror and be proud of who you are. If there is something, you need to work on, work on it to improve yourself. #words

I have received too many acts of kindness to not express gratitude to everyone that has wished me a happy birthday. So this is me saying thank you❤️🎊❤️ Recently, I was listening to Jim Rohn and he emphasized that life is measured in relation to accomplishments within a reasonable time. I do not dissent to his view about applying oneself. What I submit is that accomplishments can be delayed by time and space as well as other powers. Today is no day for a long text but to thank God. Popularly known as Jehovah over do and the all sufficient God. It’s another milestone today as I turn ….. and of course I will share some lessons in this very short time that I have lived. As I still remember 2 times 1 =2 and seven days make a week 🤣 1. Growing up, while reciting the popular standard living rhyme - my choice was to be a lawyer. ( I am no where near that discipline) 2. When life presents lemons, make sure to make a lemonade unless you will have to live with lemons all your life. 3. Contentment is great gain. When you choose to be content, you will not have to deal with peer pressure. 4. Life is not a bed of roses. It’s all about trial and error. As you go through this cycle you will meet wolves, serpents and doves. 5. Family will and would always have your back. 6. The earlier you start to know your stance, the better. As you will begin to streamline your focus. 7. If you don’t push yourself, poverty will catch up with you. 8. Respect yourself and others will catch up. 9. Your faith, worldview and spirit man should always be in sync. 10. Stay positive and always be grateful. Everyone has something to give. Try not to always be at the receiving end. Give your time, talent and treasure to others. We are humans and not defined by imposed man made social categories. As some popular saying will always advise; the more you think you know, the less you know. I could not capture all the happiness I felt today but I truly enjoyed myself today doing the things I love to do and with people that matter.

J.D. Salinger, the author of Catcher in the Rye, once wrote, "The fact is always obvious much too late, but the most singular difference between happiness and joy is that happiness is a solid and joy a liquid." Hmm! While I am not sure of what he means, I would put it this way. “Happiness is a liquid in that it is based on circumstances, it flows with the tide. Joy should be a solid, a constant state of being; however, for too many they try to base it on circumstances.” In the article, “Happiness vs Joy”, a chart is used in an attempt to make a distinction between the two. One statement I like is this—except for the use of god, instead of God. Joy is a stronger, less common feeling than happiness. Witnessing or achieving selflessness to the point of personal sacrifice frequently triggers this emotion. Feeling spiritually connected to a god or to people. Enough for quotes. Joy is an inner quality that is born of God as we trust him in all of life. Unlike the ebb and flow of happiness, joy lasts, lasts… Acts records how Paul and Silas told the jailer and his entire family about Jesus. An interesting aspect of this story is shared. "The jailer brought them into his house and set a meal before them; he was filled with joy because he had come to believe in God—he and his whole household." (Acts 16:34 NIV) Filled! When writing to the church at Philippi, he says, “Rejoice in the Lord always.” (Philippians 4:4) Rejoice is an active verb. Always… If our joy standing in front of the manger this Christmas can run low, it should be from sharing it with others. It shouldn’t be because our faith falters. Praise flows exuberantly when we are filled with joy!! Faith in the God-child results in hope, peace, joy, and love—which is the focus of the next candle in the Advent wreath. Do you have a “rollercoaster” experiential type joy? Are you always praising God? Do you consider yourself a rejoicer? Are the gifts you give this Christmas reflective of joy? Will the receivers of those gifts catch your joy or do they want them to create happiness? #joy #advent #christmas
