Imagine life as a game in which you are juggling some five balls in the air.

You name them - Work – Family – Health – Friends – Spirit, and you’re keeping all of these in the air.

You will soon understand that work is a rubber ball. If you drop it, it will bounce back. But the other four balls — family, health, friends and spirit are made of glass. If you drop one of these, they will be irrevocably scuffed, marked, nicked, damaged or even shattered. They will never be the same. You must understand that and strive for balance in your life. How?

1. Don’t undermine your worth by comparing yourself with others. It is because we are different that each of us is special.

2. Don’t set your goals by what other people deem important. Only you know what is best for you.

3. Don’t take for granted the things closest to your heart. Cling to them as you would your life, for without them, life is meaningless.

4. Don’t let your life slip through your fingers by living in the past or for the future. By living your life one day at a time, you live ALL the days of your life.

5. Don’t give up when you still have something to give. Nothing is really over until the moment you stop trying.

6. Don’t be afraid to admit that you are less than perfect. It is this fragile thread that binds us together.

7. Don’t be afraid to encounter risks It is by taking chances that we learn how to be brave.

8. Don’t shut love out of your life by saying it’s impossible to find. The quickest way to receive love is to give; the fastest way to lose love is to hold it too tightly; and the best way to keep love is to give it wings.

9. Don’t run through life so fast that you forget not only where you’ve been, but also where you are going.

10. Don’t forget that a person’s greatest emotional need is to feel appreciated.

11. Don’t be afraid to learn. Knowledge is weightless, a treasure you can always carry easily.

12. Don’t use time or words carelessly. Neither can be retrieved.

“Life is not a race, but a journey to be savored each step of the way. Yesterday is History, Tomorrow is a Mystery, and Today is a gift. That’s why we call it The Present.”

Happiness is not a destination, it is the journey itself. It is not a goal, it is a state of mind, and you cannot achieve your goals without being in this state of mind

I will conquer
pride by humility,
wrath by love,
excitement by calmness,
selfishness by unselfishness,
evil by good,
ignorance by knowledge,
restlessness by the ineffable
peace acquired in the stillness
of inner silence.

“Love is a ladder,
It starts with one person,
it ends with the Totality.
Love is the beginning,
God is the end.”

To hate all rose; because you got scratched by one thorn.
To give up all your dream; because one did not come true.
To lose faith in prayer; because one was not answered.
To give up your efforts; because one of them failed.
To condemn all you friends; because one of them betrayed.
Not to believe in love; because someone may come up.
Remember that, another chance may come up.
A new friend, a new love, a new life.

Never give up on anything.

Recognising the fact that you are 100% responsible for your life is the starting point of all great achievement.

If you take the responsibility for your life you can start changing it. Slow will be the change, only in the course of time will you start; moving into the world of light and crystallization, but once you are crystallized you will know what real revolution is. Then share your revolution with others; it has to go that way, from heart to heart.
-Osho

When you accept responsibility you gain control. This means that there is a direct relationship between the amount of control you have, and the amount of responsibility you accept.

This can be seen in any type of job, as the most responsible people tend to have the highest incomes, social status and the most power. Where you are today is a result of your actions in the past. Therefore, your future will be a result of what you do today. No one is coming to save you, to make life right for you, or to solve your problems for you. If you don’t do something now, then nothing will ever change.

Many years later, even after his marriage, he still kept the picture safe.

One day his wife found the picture. She asked, “Where did you get this picture?”

He replied, “I found it when I was still a child, why?”

His wife said, “I lost it when I was 9 years old…”

Moral of the story:
Stick to your picture (goal) and your dream will indirectly, yet surely, come true.

“These images do not speak out, they only hint…”

All words about spiritual values are just hints. Don′t hold onto the words as if they are realities. They are hints, almost the way I can point to the moon with my finger – but don′t catch hold of my finger. My finger is not the moon. Although my finger was pointing to the moon, it was only a hint.

In one of the temples of Japan, there is no statue of Gautama Buddha in the temple. Instead of a statue, there is a finger pointing to a far away moon. It is a temple of its own kind – because Buddha is nothing but a finger pointing to the moon. Don′t go on worshiping the finger – that will not help. Look at the moon where the finger is pointing. Forget the finger, forget the scriptures, forget the masters, forget all your religions; just try to find out what they are hinting at, and you will be surprised to find that thousands of fingers are pointing at the same moon.

If you pay too much attention to the finger, there is every possibility you will forget the purpose. The purpose was not the finger, the purpose was the moon. All the differences are in the fingers, in their expressions. The experience of truth is one.

And the followers of these fingers are fighting and killing each other, and nobody bothers that you are fighting for fingers. The fingers may be different, but the moon is the same. The angles of the fingers may be different – because people were standing in different places at different times, in different ages. How can Krishna point exactly the way Jesus is pointing? How can Buddha point in the same way Zarathustra is pointing?

The person who seeks knowledge from these indications in the scriptures, in words, in statues is a fool. The search has to be with inwards - because they are all pointing that the kingdom of God is within you. And unless you go inwards, unless you close your eyes and relax your mind; unless your heart, your mind, your body all become a synchronicity, a harmony, a deep accord – you will not be able to hear the still small voice within you. And that voice is nobody else′s voice, it is your own. And remember, only the truth that is your own, liberates. Anybody else′s truth always becomes a bondage.

Every master is bound to be unique in his expressions. They are all saying the same thing, they are all indicating towards the same moon, but their fingers are different. They are bound to be different. The finger of Buddha, the finger of Lao Tzu, the finger of Chuang Tzu, are bound to be different. If you pay too much attention to the finger, there is every possibility you will forget the purpose. The purpose was not the finger, the purpose was the moon. All the differences are in the fingers, in their expressions. The experience of truth is one, but to bring it to expression, every master has to find his own device.

The qualities of the finger do not matter; any finger can point towards the moon. But people have got too much attached to the fingers. Jainas are holding the finger of Mahavir – they worship that finger, they have forgotten the moon. And Buddhists are worshiping the finger of Buddha. Exactly, there is a temple in Japan where Buddha’s statue is not in the shrine but a finger, a marble finger, pointing somewhere into the unknown. Those who made that temple must have been very perceptive; but you don’t know people – people are worshiping that finger. They go and put their flowers there and bow down. Nobody is bothered where the finger is pointing at.

Existence does not understand your language. Language is human, existence is far wider (it is not restricted to the human)
