Tears under the smiles

179 February 27, 2014

This is for girls who have the tendency to stay up at night listening to music that reminds them of their current situation. Who hide their fears, hurt, pain and tears under the smiles, laughs and giggles on a daily basis. The girls who wear their heart on their sleeve. The girls who pray that things will work out just once and they'll be satisfied.

The girls who scream and cry to their pillows because everyone else fails to listen. The girls who have so many secrets but won't tell a soul. The girls who have mistakes and regrets as a daily moral. The girls that never win. The girls that stay up all night thinking about that one boy and hoping that he'll notice her one day. The girls who take life as it comes, to the girls who are hoping that it'll get better somewhere down the road. For the girls who love with all their heart although it always gets broken. To girls who think it's over. To real girls, to all girls: You're beautiful. ~Zayn Malik

Desert of our Loneliness

140 February 26, 2014

To live a spiritual life we must first find the courage to enter into the desert of our loneliness and to change it by gentle and persistent efforts into a garden of solitude. The movement from loneliness to solitude, however, is the beginning of any spiritual life because it it is the movement from the restless senses to the restful spirit, l from the outward-reaching cravings to the inward-reaching search, from the fearful clinging to the fearless play. ~Henri J.M.

The true meaning of life

135 February 26, 2014

We are but visitors on this planet. We are here for ninety or one hundred years at the very most. During that period, we must try to do something good, something useful with our lives. If you contribute to other people’s happiness, you will find the true goal, the true meaning of life. ~Dalai Lama

True happiness comes from a sense of inner peace

366 February 26, 2014

I believe all suffering is caused by ignorance. People inflict pain on others in the selfish pursuit of their happiness or satisfaction. Yet true happiness comes from a sense of inner peace and contentment, which in turn must be achieved through the cultivation of altruism, of love and compassion and elimination of ignorance, selfishness and greed. ~Dalai Lama

Every Breath You Take

432 February 26, 2014

No one in this world does not have a problem. Even myself. Behind every smile, there is sadness. But I choose not to discuss, not to complain, not to cry…Because, I realize there is much bigger problem in this universe, than mine. Look at this poor family from my homeland, below. They have no beds, no pillows, no shelter. They survive from day to day, with very little or no food. Their future is unpredictable. It happens everywhere, not just Cambodia. The suffering of our human family in this world, is very deep. My problem, comparing to theirs, is very small. That is why I don't complain, but learn how to live and let go…~Jendhamuni

There’s hope for YOU

I want to encourage you by letting you know that there’s hope for you and your situation whatever you are dealing with. God is intimately involved with every detail of your future and His desire is for you to be an overcomer. ~Sue Augustine

Beauty of the Poor

75 February 25, 2014

I love everything about the poor.
Their foods, their dresses, their lifestyles.
And… their pure smiles… I love most.
I live and die for the poor…

Faith

507 February 25, 2014

Faith is not the belief
that God will do what you want.
It is the belief that God
will do what is right.

Shantidevas’ Bodhisattva vows

Should anyone wish to ridicule me and make me an object of jest and scorn why should I possibly care if I have dedicated myself to others?

Let them do as they wish with me so long as it does not harm them. May no one who encounters me ever have an insignificant contact.

Regardless whether those whom I meet respond towards me with anger or faith, may the mere fact of our meeting contribute to the fulfilment of their wishes.

May the slander, harm and all forms of abuse that anyone should direct towards me act as a cause of their enlightenment.
