The best day of your life

You can make this day the best day of your life
You can make this day the blessed day it was meant to be
You can make this day the turning point of human history
Because you can choose today to forget all your failures and worries,
You can choose today to break loose from all limitations,
You can choose today to grow bigger than your circumstances,
You can choose today to take resposibility for your own life,
You can choose today to live the power of the truth that
You are the captain of your ship, and the master of your destiny;

Whatsoever you can desire, concieve, and believe, you can achieve;
If it is to be, it is up to you;
Within you lies the power to be all that you want to be;
So choose what you want out of life,
Then go out and get it.

THE MAGIC OF BELIEVING

Believe in the opportunity that lies hidden in every adversity
Believe in the infinite possibilities that stretch ahead of you
Believe in the boundless potential that lies in the people around you
Believe in the Divine Presence that is covered by the veil of appearances
Believe in the Unfathomable Power that lies within you
Believe in your unique identity and the common destiny of life

Believe in yourself and in everything you do
Believe in the reality of your dreams
Believe in the beauty of all that you see
Believe in the mystery of your heartbeat
Believe; and somewhere along the way, you’ll find
That the miracle of life, is the magic of believing.

THE MAGIC OF LOVE

The magic of love is not in being loved

The magic of love does not lie only

In the fact that you love someone

Love is the very essence of life

Love is the mystery that lies quietly

At the heart and source of life

Love is life itself

When you feel that you love someone

When someone tells you he or she loves you

Realize that the magic of love is a reality

That transcends the persons and circumstances involved

God is love and love is God

That is why a heart that is in love

Experiences God first hand.

This is the magic of life

This is the magic of love

May this Divine Magic take possession of your whole being

From this day forward

Self Discovery

You don't see things as they are;
You see things as you are.
The world that surrounds you
Is but the mirror image of your inner reality.
What you see in other people
Is in reality that part of yourself which
You have identified in the other.
So whatsoever you think or say about others
You are actually thinking and talking about yourself.

When you find things to admire, cherish, appreciate, encourage and praise
In other people, it is that fountain of self-worth, purity, integrity
and self-confidence within you, that is overflowing
and watering the lives of others.
On the other hand, when you find yourself complaining, condemning,
and criticizing others; if you are always feeling jealous and bitter
Then you betray the fact that deep within,
You feel worthless, mean, and insecure.

It takes a pair of dirty eyes to see anything bad.
If your eyes are pure, you will see all things as good, beautiful and pure.
God is of too pure eyes to behold evil.
Evil exists only in the mind that perceives it.
So if today there is anything or person or circumstance in your life
Which you consider bad, mean, filthy, evil or disgusting, then realise
That it is your own eyes that need to be purified.

Pay attention to the things that move you
And in them you will discover your true nature.

JUST BELIEVE

Are  you worried and fearful over your unpaid debts and bills? 
Perhaps the children's schools fees have not been paid,
and there is little or no food on the table?
All of that will become history.
You will actually live a life of abundance and ease
IF ONLY YOU WILL JUST BELIEVE.

Are you sinking in the ship of anxiety, uncertainty and despair
because of a recent failure, an approaching exam or interview,
a hopeless health condition, a giant obstacle, a huge challenge,
a discouraging job situation?
All that will become history. You will take control of your life.
You will get everything you want, where you want it,
when you want it, and how you want it.
You will know peace, freedom, health, love, and joy,
IF ONLY YOU WILL JUST BELIEVE.

To believe is to take your eyes off your troubles,
and pay attention on the Source of Infinite Power,
Wisdom and Supply. To Believe is to realise that
your life is not really yours but God’s;
and because it is God’s life, it can be nothing
short of good, complete and perfect.

To believe is to awaken to the reality that
all that you seek is already yours;that your good is
already established; that  your job in life is not to beg,
complain or wallow in self-pity, but to joyfully give
thanks for that which you have received in faith.
It is in doing so that you see the tangible
manifestation of that reality take flesh before your very own eyes.

On this day, in this very place, you can begin to live in heaven,
IF ONLY YOU JUST BELIEVE.

Love Poems

LOVE CONQUERS EVERYTHING

Some people say;

“It is better to love and lose,

Than never to have loved at all”

But what they don’t realise

Is that he who truly loves is invincible.

He who truly loves never loses

Because love is Lord of

Heaven and earth.

A heart that is ravished by the magic of love

Is Lord of Heaven and Earth

Because Love conquers everything.

THE MAGIC OF LOVE

I do not ask you to notice me

I only rejoice at the blessing

Of beholding your amazing beauty;

I do not ask you to appretiate me

I only lose myself in the bliss

Of praising your magnificence;

I do not ask you to think of me

I only drink deep of the pure springs

That make me dream of you every night;

I do not ask you to talk about me

I only let my spirit soar

With the sweet songs I sing for you;

I do not ask you to live for me

I only worship this undeserved grace

By which I can lay down my life for you;

I do not ask you to love me

Because all that matters for all eternity

Is that my heart is ablaze with love for you.

LOVE

I am the flame that sets your heart on fire

I am the summit of the mountain you are climbing

I am the still small voice within

That is forever calling you to greater things

When you seek peace of mind

It is I who is caressing your soul

When you seek to be free

It is I who is giving wings to your spirit

I am the dream that you seek to achieve

I am the health that you wish to enjoy

I am the wealth that you desire to acquire

I am the life that you long to live

I am the kind and gentle friend

Who is always there, helping you

To believe in the miracle of you

And bring out the best in you

I am that warm and entrancing feeling

That you get, when you forgive

Someone that has wronged you-

Or when lying in the arms of your soul mate

When the voice of eternity calls you

And you leave the world and all its troubles

To embrace the indescribable bliss

Of the reality beyond

Then you have found me

And only then have you begun to live.

I LOVE YOU

I love you

And it comes straight from my soul

I love you

It may seem so easy to say the three words

I love you

But it takes the courage of three life times to say it

I love you

Because I have always loved you

I love you

And I vowed one day to let you know that I do

I love you

Though I don’t know what you might say

I love you

Even though I may not be your class

I love you

Even though you might dispise me

I love you

Even if I do not deserve you

I love you

Because I’ve been touched by the angel of love

I love you

Because all my fear is gone

I love you

Because beneath your unfriendly mask,

I say a human heart like mine that is desperate for love

I love you

Because I am not depending on any favour in return

I love you

Because I have nothing to gain or lose

I love you

Because all that matters is that I love you

I love you

Because love is it’s own reward

I love you

Because I am already blessed

Just to love you.

I LIVE AGAIN

I used to be blind
But now I see
I used to be deaf
But now I hear
I used to be dumb
But now I speak
I used to be harden
But now I feel

Your blazing light shines in my darkness
Your astonishing beauty illumines my soul
Your brilliant smile brightens my path
Your sweetness lifts my spirit
Your words inspire my mind
Your tender arms protect me
Your magic touch heals me
Your everlasting love fills me
With Heaven's bliss

Because you love me
I live again
Because I love you
I live forever.

MYSTERY

You invade my life

Like the sun hits the sky

You paint my being with joy

Like the stars flood the heavens with colour

No one ever took me into her heart

Like a mother takes her baby in her arms

No one ever showed me life could be so full

No one ever loved me the way you do

When I ask what is Life

I hear Life is God

When I ask who is God

I hear God is Love

When I ask what is Love

I find that Love is You

And when I ask, who then am I

It becomes so clear that

I am you and you are me

Life is a glorious mystery of

Two hearts merged into one,

That mystical unity being-God.

THE BREATH

First there was a statue of clay
Fashioned out of the earth
By the hands of the grand architect.
Then came the breath-
The Spirit of Life
That turned the clay into a living soul.
I am that soul that lives,
You are that Breath that makes me live;
That is why all nature mirrors your face
Yes, all beauty, all purity, all goodness
All strength, all inspiration, all achievement
All perfection, all life, all bliss...
They are the sacred waters gushing forth
From that Divine Fountain
Whose name rends my heart like thunder,
That name that I live to proclaim.

YOU

The air I breath is you,
The heart that beats within me is you,
The prayer I pray is you,
The song I sing is you;

You are my sleeping and my dreaming,
You are my aspiring and my believing,
You are my working and my succeeding,
You are my all in all, you are my being;

The meaning of my life is you,
My heaven and eternity is you,
The mystery of my being is you,
You are me and I am you.

MY ANGEL

My dear sister, I feel like writing all day,
but I know that no amount of words
will ever approach the magic of a single
heartbeat that is moved by your love.
You are enthroned upon my heart,
like the morning star is enthroned upon the heavens.

You are the one who gives my life a meaning.
That is why even when things seem rough,
I'm never moved, I never cry.
I smile always, because I know where I am going,
and I know that the end is already secured.

Where beauty, intelligence and godliness meet,
there an angel is born.
That is who you are.
And I know you'll forever be my queen,
my light, my guardian angel.
My love for you is larger than I,
larger than life.

All I can do is lose myself in its immensity,
and let its intensity be my life

You are my angel,

You are my life.

TAKE THIS LOVE

You are nature's most beautiful flower

More beautiful than the rainbow

You are life's most precious treasure

More costly than all the world's gold

I have no fear offering my life to you

Cos it is for you that I was born

And it is for you that I will die

My life and joy is in our love

Everything I do, I do for you

Every day I live, I live for you

Every where I go, I go for you

It is your love that leads me on

And I will forever be faithful

Cos I know not how else to thank you

For the boundless blessings

You've brought into my life

Take this love

Take all that I give to you

Take it, even if you do not understand

Love is the brightest of lights

Indeed, love is the only light

Love is the only life

ALL I AM

If I was a poet

 I would write the best poems for you

if I was a singer 

I would sing the sweetest songs for you

If I was a painter

I would paint you more lofty than 

Da Vinci’s ‘Madonna’

If I was an eagle

You would be the wings upon which I soar

If I was a soldier

I would conquer the world for you

If I was a rose

You would be the perfume and splendour

That I radiate to the worrld

If I was a king

You would be my queen

If I was a sailor

You would be my captain

If I was a preacher

You would be my sermon

But I am just me

With nothing special

And nothing to my name

I don’t even know if I deserve your love

But here I am

All I am, is just a heart that loves you

And that is what life means to me

Inspirational Poems

THE HIGHER WAY

There is more to life than fear

There is a reality called faith;

There is more to life than worry

There is a reality called peace;

There is more to life than anxiety

There is a reality called confidence;

There is more to life than discouragement

There is a higher way called courage;

There is more  to life than sadness

There is a higher way called joy.

There is more to life than sickness

There is a lofty  reality called health;

There is more to life than poverty

There is a lofty reality called wealth;

There is more to life than inadequacy

There is a lofty reality called abundance;

There is more to life than bondage

There is a lofty reality called freedom;

There is more to life than weakness

There is a lofty reality called power.

Seek the higher way

Enter into the lofty reality;

It is your birthright

It is your divine heritage;

It is the only reason why you are here

So take it, 

And begin to live today.

YOU CAN

There was once a time when you couldn't speak,

But now you speak and even sing;

There was once a time when you couldn't walk,

But now you walk and even run;

There was once a time when the Buddha was a novice

But later he he became the enlightened one

There was once a time when Jesus was a carpenter boy

But later he became the Saviour of the world

There was once a time when John Paul II

Was just an unknown altar boy

But later he became the greatest pope ever

There was once a time when Bill Gates was a wretched school boy

But now he is the richest man on the planet

There was once a time  when you couldn't  succeed,

There was once a time when you could’t reach your dreams,

But now you  can;

Because you know you can.

DO IT NOW

This day 

Is the best day to succeed;

This place

Is the best place to succeed;

What you now have

Is the best ingredient for your success;

Your present circumstance 

Is your best opportunity to succeed;

Don’t you wait any longer

You have all it takes

To be the best that you can be

Just begin today

And you would have succeeded

In becoming better

Than you were yesterday.

THE SEED

Just as the mango tree

Releases its seeds into the earth

So that they might grow

And become mangoes again

Just as the clouds become rain

And fill the oceans

And then vapourise 

To become clouds in the sky again

Even so does the Infinite

Sow his seeds upon the universe

That they may sprout and grow

And bloom into His Infinite Splendour

The tree is in the seed

The ocean is in the drop

And the kingdom of Heaven is within you

You are Heaven’s seeds of love

You are Heaven’s seeds of Abundance

Just realise this, and you’ll find 

That all that you seek, is already yours.
