When our mind speaks 🧑

A FATHER AND HIS DAUGHTER❗️

Moral Story Of The Day.

A father sent his little daughter to spend the holidays with family members. When the girl returned home, he asked her. 

"So tell me honestly, did you enjoy your holidays?"

She responded.
"Everyone was nice to me apart from Aunty Nancy. She seems too harsh and I have a feeling that she hates me" 

He asked.
"Why? What makes you think so?" 

The little girl replied.  
"Firstly, she doesn't respond to my greetings no matter how many times I greet her. Secondly, there was a day I helped her find her missing watch but she didn't even say 'thank you'. And thirdly, she never interacted with me like others did, and has never spoken to me before. She's so unbelievable" 

The father remarked.
"Really? So, what is her reaction when you greet her?" 

The girl uttered.
"She would pretend not to notice me"

The father paused for a moment and said. 

"I think you're right. Nancy is truly a bad Aunty, and I think she really hates you. So, henceforth, you would try as much as possible to avoid her" 

Just then, the father let out a chuckle that surprised her. He touched her arm, and with a smile on his face, he said. 

"That was the voice of your mind speaking. Your mind has cooked up all negative stories about your Aunty, making it difficult to realize that she is deaf and dumb. Aunty Nancy is unable to hear or speak, so all your assumptions about her are wrong. That's how our minds are. The mind can be a very convincing liar. It simply makes up stuffs. With little or no evidence, it creates negative stories about the world and ourselves. So you shouldn't believe everything you think. And most importantly, if you can win over your mind forever, you can achieve anything in your life".

I want to reveal a big secret today. We have seen charcoal one way or the other and we might have used it to do many things. Charcoal is commonly known to be used for cooking. What if I tell you that charcoal has a lot of benefits! When you don't know the benefits of something, you won't know that you can use it for many things.

Glow of the 🧑

How many times we said fake goodbyes but those persons were just more present in our hearts and souls than ever? Didn't we pretend we let go of people and things, yet in our deepness we knew we actually never did? And on the other hand, for how many times we secretly knew our feelings changed towards someone yet we keep doing our best to pretend it didn't, maybe because they are so dear, maybe because of our glorious past but in our deepness we know it's no longer the same, for how many times we let go of things we loved but we keep acting that they are still our choices. And the questions remain does all this mean forever? Will we fall again for what departed us? Will we let go of what enslaved us for so long? Will we say a true goodbye and an honest hello?

Love Watching You πŸ’

Who can resist a sleeping baby? As our children get older, and we get older the joy we get from watching them sleep is something that doesn’t change. Whether your child is an infant or a teenager, there is great comfort to be found in watching them sleep. No matter what their age, they will always be our babies. There are few things as gratifying and heart-warming as watching your child sleeping peacefully, lost in their own little world of dreams, with no cares or worries. As they sleep safely in a cocoon of warmth and love. Watching our children sleep is one of the greatest rewards of motherhood, and a sign of a job well done. πŸ’

Who are the real Robbers? πŸ‚

During a robbery in America, the bank robber shouted to everyone in the bank: "Don't move. The money belongs to the State. Your life belongs to you." Everyone in the bank laid down quietly. This is called the "Mind Changing Concept." Changing the conventional way of thinking. When the bank robbers returned home, the younger robber (MBA-trained) told the older robber (who has only completed Year 6 in primary school): "Big brother, let's count how much we got." The older robber rebutted and said: "You are very stupid. There is so much money it will take a long time to count. Tonight, the TV news will tell us how much we robbed from the bank." This is called "Experience.” Nowadays, the experience is more important than paper qualifications! After the robbers had left, the bank manager told the bank supervisor to call the police quickly. But the supervisor said to him: "Wait! Let us take out $10 million from the bank for ourselves a...
