Me,myself & I

just thinking... I woudl love a movie of my life, narrated in the voice of morgan freeman/angelina jolie. it will be a heartfelt, warm, somewhat adventurous documentary of a wholesome girl with dreams and how one thing lead to another...to bring her to now. (yeah yeah forgive me, i know i sound so self absorbed and full of myself right now- i love my husband for spoiling me like a princess)

Peace is the World Smiling

Every Year we are reminded of the result of violence in human society. With each new generation the sense of urgency for peace, in the communities of the world , grows. We all believe in "peace" but it seems an unattainable dream.
 Rather than dwelling on political solutions, we should focus on the children who woudl be the men and woman of the future. We can view the child as the maker of humanity to whom humankind's fate is entrusted.Most importantly, the focus should be on the fact that, it is the young child who determines man's future as an adult member of society. No attempt to solve the world's social and moral problems will succeed if it concentrates only on adults and their activities and not on the whole of Humankind.
Young children show us that peaceful interactions between humans are possible, since a young child has no colour, age, sex, religious or social barriers. A child is one single entity, an undivided being, with joy and trust, a natural part of his inner self. Innocent.


Parents and educators goals must be to help our children reach their full potential by providing for the education of the child's Inner self. All too often the focus of 'education' is on the mastery of skills and facts in the external world. The education of the "inner being" focuses on the functions of the child's mind, emotion and spirit. We need to find ways to enable the child to develop inner peace and the ability to relate harmoniously to the external world. Children learn more from what adults do than what adults say. The responsibilty of the adult is to develop their own inner core of peace and acceptance. Adults must manifest peace in order to help children manifest peace.


Peace is the vital question for the world today. My studies in Montessori has shown the great role of the child as the builder of the inner foundations on which alone peace can be built.    
"Education is the best weapon for peace." Dr.Maria Montessori

Eat Pray Love

    

"Happiness is the consequence of personal effort. You fight for it, strive for it, insist upon it, and sometimes even travel around the world looking for it. You have to participate relentlessly in the manifestations of your own blessings. And once you have achieved a state of happiness, you must never become lax about maintaining it. You must make a mighty effort to keep swimming upward into that happiness forever, to stay afloat on top of it."

—"To find the balance you want, this is what you must become. You must keep your feet grounded so firmly on the earth that it's like you have 4 legs instead of 2. That way, you can stay in the world. But you must stop looking at the world through your head. You must look through your heart, instead. That way, you will know God."

Today's meditation - recharge the mind & spirit

The mind becomes settled when it cultivates friendliness in the face of happiness, compassion in the face of misery, joy in the face of virtue, and indifference in the face of error.

One's first step in wisdom is to question everything - and one's last is to come to terms with everything.
