Too Ascetical

The beggar stopped a man on the street and asked for some money for something to eat.
The man said, " I'll buy you a drink if you like.
The beggar said, " I never drink. "
" Well then, " said the man, " I'll buy you a good cigar. "
" But I don't smoke," said the beggar. " All I want is something to eat. "
" I've got a good tip for horse this afternoon, " said the man, and I'll put some money on it for you. You can have the winnings. "
" But I don't believe in gambling. All I want is food. "
" In that case, " said the man, " I'd like you to come home to dinner with me. I'd like my wife to meet you because I want her to see what happens to a man who doesn't smoke, drink, or gamble. "

Posted, January 11, 2009 : When God takes something away from your grasp...

When God takes something away from your grasp, He's not punishing you, but merely opening your hands to receive something better.

The will of God will never take you where the Grace of God will not protect you

A very suggestive quote! I've seen [through my live traffic feed widget below] different people from different places reading this post each day. How it feels so great to have inspired others in such a simple way. With this, I want to thank a wonderful friend for sharing these inspiring quotes via text message and a big thanks to all as well who happened to stumble it.

Have a great weekend ahead to all of us!

it is ...

It's nice to know that you're secured with that someone. That even if the rain is pouring hard and the sky is almost dark, he'll never leave you just so you won't feel alone. Even if his friends had left him (and even if he has to be somewhere else) he'd still stay by your side, just so you won't feel alone.

It's so good to know that you have someone who'll be willing to help you cope up in every frustrations you're having. Every depressing moments, every down moments, every self-worthless-realization moments, he'd be there, not because you want someone to be with you, but because he wants to be with you.

It's great to know when a person appreciates every little thing you do. Even a smile would mean a lot to him, just because you own that smile. And that even if no words are expressed as long as the eyes understand, you'd be able to communicate, just like that.

It's overwhelming when a person tells you that he loves you for who you are. He may not have an answer when you ask him why, but really, he doesn't have to have reasons for loving you.

It's more grateful to know that someone is grateful to have you. We don't choose the people who enter our lives, so it must be luck that you have that person, then you have to be thankful. It may just be coincidence or fate, but whatever the reason is, you have to be thankful in having him the same way he is thankful for having you.

It's a wonderful feeling when you're on the verge of giving up the things you've worked hard for, someone isn't just helping you carry the weight on your shoulders, but he carries it on his own because he'd also be in pain when you are in pain. And then you'll realize, trials would all be worth it as long as you have him, not because he would do things for you, but because you gather all the strength you need, in him and his love.

It's a superb feeling when one is willing to take the risks just so you'll be happy. Unselfishness rule in him just so happiness would take over you.

It's a nice feeling that when you're apart, and days seem to be long, that person misses you. Yes, you might feel bad about not being with each other, but knowing that you feel the same way would drive those blues away, thinking, you'd fight over that feeling because you're looking forward to seeing each other, and that's something to be happy about.

It's a great feeling when he wants to be with you because of the happiness you have when you're together. That even if corny jokes and senseless stories are told, it won't matter as long as you're together.

It's a lovely feeling when someone thinks about your future, with or without him. He cares and he cares enough to think of you and what you'll be someday. But of course, he also wants to be in it someday.

It's a nice feeling when you can be who you really are with that person. No pretensions, no lies, no hypocrisy, because he accepts you for who you are. You can be funny, you can be embarrassed, but it won't matter cause it doesn't matter to him. Trust and faith in each other keeps you alive. And it will always do.

It's good to know that you have someone who'll not have the intentions of breaking your heart. Instead, he would be willing to mend it, picking up the broken pieces of your heart that your past love have scattered in the ground. He may not be able to put the pieces back to where they really belong, but you shouldn't mind, because he had repaired that heart of yours, and he fixed it in his own way. He loves you in his own way, not the way your past did. He fixed your heart in a different way, to keep you from feeling the pains of your past heartache and to make you feel, the love, that he's unselfishly giving.

It's a great feeling when that person has every effort to let you feel what he feels for you. Because of the distractions, you may not hear him shout it to the world, but as long as you feel it, his efforts has paid off, big time. And when you feel the same way too... He'd feel as if he's the luckiest person alive.

... when in fact, you're more blessed to have him.

Afterhours Inspirational Stories... is where I got this inspirational piece from. It wasn't on my agenda to have this story posted here but as I read between the lines, there is this sudden pinch inside me that says "hey, this is me." The choice of words, the way each line is described... just every details on it.

the string of life

The longer I live, the more I realized the impact of attitude on life. Attitude, to me, is more important than facts, than what other people think or say or do. It is more important than appearance, gifted ability, or skill. It will make or break company, church, a home. The remarkable thing is we have a choice everyday regarding the attitude we will embrace during that day. We cannot change our past, we cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string that we have and this string is attitude... I am convinced that life is ten percent what happens to me and ninety percent how I react to it. And so it is with you... WE ARE IN CHARGE OF OUR ATTITUDES.

~Charles Swindoll~

Such a very inspiring quote for a touchy and sooo impatient person like me...

"Life is either a daring adventure or nothing. To keep our faces toward change and behave like free spirits in the presence of fate is strength undefeatable."
-Helen Keller


"In any moment of decision the best thing you can do is the right thing, the next best thing is the wrong thing, and the worst thing you can do is nothing."

"Even a happy life cannot be without a measure of darkness, and the word happy would lose its meaning if it were not balanced by sadness. It is far better to take things as they come along with patience and composure."

True eloquence, indeed, does not consist in speech. It cannot be brought from far. Labor and learning may toil for it, but they will toil in vain. Words and phrases may be marshalled in every way, but they cannot compass it. It must exist in the man, in the subject, and in the occasion

The highest purpose of intellectual cultivation is to give a man a perfect knowledge and mastery of his own inner self; to render our consciousness its own light and its own mirror.
- SELF IMPROVEMENT -

To find what you seek in the road of life,
the best proverb of all is that which says:
"Leave no stone unturned."
- INSPIRATIONAL -

Look not mournfully into the past, it comes not back again. Wisely improve the present, it is thine. Go forth to meet the shadowy future without fear and with a manly heart.
- OVERSOMING ADVERSITY -

It is not good for all our wishes to be filled; through sickness we recognize the value of health; through evil, the value of good; through hunger, the value of food; through exertion, the value of rest.
- Greek Proverb -

Terrorism isn't insanity. It grows out of social conditions that are well known: poverty, social oppression, dictatorship, and a void of meaning in the lives of ordinary people.

All truly wise thoughts have been thought already, thousands of times; but to make them truly ours, we must think them over again honestly, till they take firm root in our personal experience.

The Difference

Men and women are DIFFERENT.
Not better or worst, just different.

A man can father a child every time he has sex, and a woman can only mother a child every two years or so. This means, a woman HAS TO be picky about who she allows to have sex with her.

For generations, women are paying too high a price for making a wrong choice. Women that have chosen men with bad genes had a weaker offsprings and their children struggled to survive. Women that have chosen men with good genes had a stronger offspring and their children survived disproportionably. hose children were carrying their picky mother's genes and this is why those female genes were passed to us.


On the other hand, men never had adverse consequence of making a wrong choice. The more children they produced, the higher was their chance to pass their genes to future generations, as some of them would certainly survive. While men were determined to seek better genes too, they have to grab all chances to procreate coming their way to ensure their genes would be passed forward. The men that ONLY stuck with one woman (even a high quality woman) were losing genetically to the men that used all of their opportunities and had many more children that survived. Those children were carrying their father's promisccuous genes, and this is why those male genes were passed to us.

By nature men are made to seek as much sex as they get, so they can spread their seed wider.

By nature women are made to seek as many admirers as they can get, so they can make a better choice and get the best seed.

Men seek quantity - women seek quality.

This is why men seek sex and women seek love.

Love is the proof that a woman needs to have some assurance that the man will stick around and help her with the upbringing of the offspring. For a woman, sex is the culmination of her emotional commitment to a man.

For a man, sex is physical act that eases the testosterone pressure he experiences constantly. Only after this tension has gone, can a man feel love towards a woman. This is why it often happens that man disappear after they got what they wanted: it wasn't love; it was the testosterone pressure. Sex for men is the reality check of their passion.

This is why having sex early in the ralationship is hazardous for women: the man has not had the time to develop any romantic feelings of her. He needs time to develop those feelings, and the only way to do it is through keeping the sexual tension going for as long as practicable. Sex must be attainable, nearly possible - but not quite. When the sexual tension is at its peak, its release is mind - blowing - and once is never enough, which lays a proper foundation for a future relationship - and love.

Men fall in love through sex; women fall in sex through love.

All of this happens on the unconscious level - we do NOT realize what's going on.

But the reason why you are here today and alive is because each and every of your ancestors, men and women, acted true to their instincts and managed to attract at least one sexual partner and produce an offspring.

So, there is no need to be bitter about men wanting sex and women wanting love. Those two are the necessary pieces of the puzzle called Survival of the Species.

And you'll be better of understanding what the other gender is going through and giving then exactly what they want: a mind-blowing sex or exhilarating love.

Go get 'em! :-)

If you're mad with someone, and nobody's there to fix the situation...you fix it.
Maybe today, that person still wants to be your friend.
And if you don't, tomorrow can be too late.

If you're in love with somebody, but that person doesn't know...tell her/him.
Maybe today, that person is also in love with you.
And if you don't say it, tomorrow can be too late.

If you still love a person that you think has forgotten you...tell her/him.
Maybe that person have always loved you.
And if you don't tell her/him today, tomorrow can be too late.

If you need a hug of a friend, ask her/him for it.
Maybe they need it more than you do.
And if you don't ask for it today, tomorrow can be too late.

If you really have friends who you appreciate...tell them.
Maybe they appreciate you as well.
That if you don't and they leave or go far away today, tomorrow can be too late.

If you love your parents, and never had the chance to show them...do it.
Maybe you have them there to show them how you feel.
That if you don't and they leave today, then tomorrow can be too late.
