Inspiration - Phrases and Quotes!



Trust, Not Faith
People ask, “How can I have confidence that everything will work out for the best? Perhaps I don’t deserve the best. Perhaps I’ve already messed up so bad, G‑d has given up on me.”
These people are confusing Trust with Faith.
Faith is something you may or may not have. But trust is something you do. Hard.
Trust is when, in times of trouble, you cleave so unshakably to the heavens, you pull them down to earth.
Trust is a mighty, heroic bond. Trust changes who you are—and what you deserve.
And it is available to anybody, at any moment, no matter who they were the moment before.  ~ Chabad.org

“There is never a reason to not be polite. It doesn't matter who has riled us, or what foul language is used towards us, don't go down to their level. No matter what, anger and cursing achieve nothing”

Getting Out of the Way
Sometimes you see that things have been taken out of your hands and are following a supernatural order.
At this point, let go of the steering wheel. Just do your best at what you have to do
—and stay out of G‑d’s way.
Relax. Trust Him. He runs an entire universe. ~ Chabad.org


***
“Happiness is the only thing that multiplies when you share it.”  ~ Albert Schweitzer
***
“Be who you are and say what you feel Because those who mind don’t matter And those who matter don’t mind.”  ~ Dr. Seuss

***

***
Celebrate

***
“He Blessed you with your talents. So too, He will Bless you in whatever you do!”

***
Between Hope and Trust
There is hope, and there is trust in G‑d—and they are two distinct attitudes.
Hope is when there is something to latch on to, some glimmer of a chance. The drowning man, they say, will clutch at any straw to save his life.
Trust in G‑d is even when there is nothing in which to hope. The decree is sealed. The sword is drawn over the neck. By all laws of nature, there is no way out.
But the One who runs the show doesn’t need any props. ~ Chabad.org

  
***

“Keep Living, and being Kind toward others, Loving your neighbor,
if it’s not broken–why try to fix it.
If you can help- Help! If you can’t send anyone, Be an Active Listener, and Always send out Positive Energy.
You never know the child that is watching you or the example you are setting!” ~ VM

International Yoga Day

We observe it on the 21st of June, around the world; since the United Nations, General Assembly has declared -International Yoga Day in 2015.

The proposal to create this day includes a profound quote that sums it up!

“Yoga is an invaluable gift of India’s ancient tradition. This tradition is 5000 years old. It embodies unity of mind and body; thought and action; restraint and fulfilment; harmony between man and nature; a holistic approach to health and well-being. It is not about exercise but to discover the sense of oneness with yourself, the world and the nature. By changing our lifestyle and creating consciousness, it can help us deal with climate change. Let us work towards adopting an International Yoga Day.” -Narendra Modi (UN General Assembly.)

Now you’re in the know!!! Make it fun-filled; connect to friends
and colleagues  - Yoga Day!
My niece is a Yoga Instructor. Kudos to all the instructors and participants!
According to the experts, IDY/International Yoga Day has celebrated the world over on this day. 

Did you know?
Yoga means ‘to yoke’ creating a union. 
It’s a day to acknowledge and devote to–physical, mental, and emotional well-being. 
And to learn more of the delightful benefits of yoga, and to link with the community and friends about this ancient relaxation!  




Summer Solstice is June 21, 2019



The longest day of the year in the northern hemisphere, Summer Solstice is June 21, 2019, 
This year, the northern summer solstice falls at 11:54 a.m. ET.
And South of the Equator, the same moment marks the unofficial beginning of winter!
Solstice around the world occurs at the same time [with time zones, local times may vary.] 
The solstice occurs because the Earth’s axis of rotation is tilted around the sun. 
This tilt is the driving force of our plants seasons, as the Northern and Southern Hemispheres get unequal amounts of sunlight over the year. 
In the months from March to September, it tilts the Northern Hemisphere more toward the sun–bringing in spring and summer.

"The first wealth is health."  Ralph Waldo Emerson


A message from the AHA/American Heart Association




Flag DAY 14th


On June 14, 1777, our flag was born. It is more the cloth shaped into a design. It is the refuge of the world’s oppressed people. It’s the silent sentinel of freedom for so many. It is the inspiration for which American patriots gave their lives and fortunes. It has led our sons and daughters into battle from Valley Forge to the bloody ridges of Vietnam to the sands of the Persian Gulf. It has flown through peace and war, strife and prosperity, and amidst it all it has been respected.



“Old Glory” is my nickname and proudly I wave on High. Honor me, respect me, and defend me with your lives and fortune.”






Keep alight the fires of patriotism and strive earnestly for the spirit of your democracy and it shall remain the bulwark of peace and freedom for ALL mankind.
