Have you ever been in the situation where things are going quite well for you? The sun is shining, business is good, life seems to be at its ultimate peak. But, then you meet someone with an attitude, and you wonder, “Why does this person have an attitude?”

One of the most precious gifts that we were given in this world is a family. A family’s is a social unit consisting of one or more adults together with children and people that care for one another. That’s the definition of a family. One of the most challenging areas of leadership is your family. Leadership of a family demands even the higher standards of honesty, and integrity, and anything else than anything that you could have done.

Before the universe came into existence, the Creator’s infinite Light filled all that there was. In order to make room for the world to be created, the Creator, in His infinite wisdom, withheld some of His light and it left behind a vacuum.

What is a happy man? It is to wake up every morning with a brightening smile on your face, and to greet the day with reverence for the opportunities that it will bring.

Have you ever thought about the definition of happiness? Happiness is a magic word and everyone is in search of it – but so few find it. Why? Is it because you think that you are looking for happiness in a false direction?

The world as we see it is not a reality. It’s a miracle. When a philosopher sees a miracle, he looks for a natural explanation; trying to figure it out and trying to understand it. But when a wise person sees nature, they look for the miracle. That in itself is a true miracle.

Have you ever thought of a willow? A willow is a tree – or sometimes referred to as a shrub. It is characterized by narrow, nice shaped leaves and some of them are very small flowers. They are pliable and the branches often are used for wicker work. The willow is humble, it bends whenever it needs to. It accommodates whenever it has to.

Have you ever thought of the word ‘inclusivity’? Inclusivity means encompassing— bringing everything and everybody into account. It’s comprehensive, it’s enclosing, embracing, and it’s all the things that we have to do to make this world a better place to be.

Every day when you wake up you must make decisions as to the kind of day you want to have. One should be diligent in what they do and should pay attention to this every day. Diligence is to decide what needs to be done, and do it enthusiastically. Respect every person, whether they are friends, or foe – they’re still human beings. You should also do this with gentleness.

One of the most important decisions that you must make, every single moment of your life, is to be your true self. You must be alert. A minute is too precious to waste. Your time must be properly utilized. Always be alert of who and what you do: do it with respect. Honor every person, even though they may not be close to you. Do it with a peace of mind. Be calm and composed, let it show in everything that you do.

Are you finding yourself in a situation where things seem to be impossible to resolve? Are you finding yourself sometimes where you are sad, or life is difficult and you are not sure what to do? When this happens, think of the clouds…

Once, when I was young, my parents gave me the pleasure and took us on a vacation; we were there by the ocean. They convinced me that it was a beautiful time to spend walking around looking at nature and enjoying the ocean.

So many people are searching… Searching everywhere for happiness, guidance, and information. It’s interesting that in our modern civilization, where everyone could have their own individuality, many people depend on others and what’s around them to make up the information that they gather, which shapes their own individuality.

It was written that when you see the stars, each one moves along its own prescribed path with precision impossible to attain in any mechanism constructed by man. When you see a seed grow and turn into a tree, or a baby develop into a self-directed human individuality, can you believe or even say that this is the result of a haphazard happening? 

Here’s an important concept that you need to know about the world: By doing good deeds you affect the whole world.

I would like to share with you a fascinating concept. Love can be expressed in various ways. Either by speech, a look, a kiss, or an embrace. The highest form of the four is the embrace. You see, the embrace displays a love so strong as to be uncommunicable by any other means. Its unique feature is so particular that one wise man wrote this:

Every single night when a person goes to sleep, they think the reason is so that their body can rest. The truth is, there’s so much more to the reason why sleeping was made part of our life.

You know how sometimes you find yourself in a difficult situation? And the difficulty seems to be impossible to overcome? You have to think of those moments of being ready, and that you are the achiever. Achievement means overcoming any obstacle successfully. There are two major benefits of positive reinforcement.

Is life about success? Accumulation of goods? Great wealth? Tremendous amounts of acquisitions? No, it can’t be that… That just wouldn’t be the way the Creator of the world intended to create this world.

Self-preparation is an important concept. It’s about you being ready to do all that you’re supposed to do. You carefully have to consider where the next opportunity can come from. You have to make sure that the origin of this opportunity is indeed good, and good for you. Make sure that you know how and what you need, to be prepared for these opportunities. Do all that you can do for each opportunity, because it’s more likely to happen without you knowing it’s going to happen. You need to be self-prepared.
