Classic wisdom and beautiful words..

davidnair's avatarWelcome to David Nair's blog

Beautiful, simple words of wisdom from a noble prize winner…. Mother Teresa.

I was going through the Biography of Mother Teresa, and could not go past this passage. Felt the need to share with those who would not have had the privilege of reading the works of this lady.

I found this little passage great to reflect on ….. Be enlightened, find inner peace & serenity, and hope it can help some out there in a similar way. 

It is amazing how the switch takes place within each of us by the second. When we are well grounded with steadfast principles that we could hang on to  nothing will swing it either way. Enjoy the extract ……….

 

“People are often unreasonable, illogical and self-centred ; forgive them anyway.
If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives; Be kind anyway.
If you are successful, you will win some false…

Our Deepest Fear by Marianne Williamson

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. 

Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.

It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us.

We ask ourselves who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? 

Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God.   

Your playing small does not serve the world. 

There’s nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you.

We are all meant to shine, as children do. 

We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us.

It’s not just in some of us; It’s in everyone.

And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. 

As we’re liberated from our own fear, Our presence automatically liberates others.

~ Marianne Williamson , taken from her book ‘A Return to Love’

I love this poem because I think its so true and inspirational, so often we are own worst doubters. If we let go and trust and truly believe in ourselves then our true lights can really shine , nothing could be more true 🙂

Fear Growth

growth

Begin from a bud of fear

Into something far more clear

Use it to spur you on

It has held you back for far too long

 

Begin from a bud of fear

Then shoot in to a mighty roar

Make friends with this thing called fear

Then you willl never be scared of this anymore 

~ M.L.Adams

Fear used to hold me back a lot when I was younger, now I see it for what it is and even though it still comes up I wont let is stop me instead I use it to spur me on. For anyone who struggles with fear , get out there and do it anyway. Face it and you’ll likely find great gifts on the other side.

Fear never has to hold us back, use it as your friend to push you on to greater and better things. Feel the fear and do it anyway, then you’ll look back every time wondering why you were so fearful of this thing that is now easy to you. Fear is just an energy created in our own minds , we decide how to use it. Never stop growing 🙂

 

Meant to be

All as it is, is meant to be here
There is nothing that exists without reason
Let go of fear and let flow come
In to your life to wash away fear

All that’s here is meant to be here
All that exists has a part to play
Each beautiful piece of land and creature
Has its own magnificent part to play

You yourself are full of wonder
A wonderous creation to your core
Let the beauty from within flow through you
Let yourself just be as you are

You are a wonderous beautiful being
So magnificent in every single way
Recognise this completely;
Then all darkness will soon dissipate

~ M.L.Adams

When darkness comes..

Whenever darkness comes find your inner light and switch it on, it is then that the outside light will shine back too. Find your inner light and the outside follows, Your outer life will always reflect your inner life, always look within first.

Ignite Within

ignite

Feel the fire come up within you
There is nothing to hold you back
Just believe in yourself, you will win

Bring up the force from within you
Believe in yourself this is true
There is nothing that can hold you back now
Nothing except for you

Feel that force from within you
All is possible from there
There is nothing , or no place stronger
Just believe in yourself and your there

All is possible from here and now,
Listen to that place from within
All you have to do is believe in yourself
There is nothing that will keep you from here.

~ Miranda. L. Adams

A little motivational inspiration for you on a Monday, have a great day 🙂

Stronger

strong tree

When times get tough, 

Know that your stronger than this

There is nothing that is stronger;

Just believe

The strength and spirit that lies within you,

There is nothing that is stronger than this

You will overcome it,

You will learn from it,

You will grow from it

Then the strength that lies within you;

Will be open for all to see

You are stronger than you think you are; 

Know it and all will see

You are stronger than you think you are;

You are like the strongest of trees

Taller and stronger than anything;

With roots you cant easily see

This problem that is before you, 

Is then nothing but a breeze

Believe in your truth and courage,

Believe you are stronger than this

Shine like the star you truly are;

Don’t be defeated by anything

~ M.L.Adams

Keep Going

mountain climb

Sometimes it feels like;

You’re at the bottom of the mountain

But you’re actually half way up

Keep on going and you’ll get to the top

~M.L.Adams

A motivational verse for Monday, have a great day.

Always keep going and never give up. Miranda.x

Begin Again

Begin again

You can’t unlearn what is learnt

Or undo what is done,

Every path is a lesson

To what you can become,

Find the power in every path

Then begin again once more,

To be far stronger and better

Than you ever were before

~ M.L.Adams

For anyone going through a tough time in any way, be strong as you know you are:)
