GRATITUDE

Image
By
  Gratitude is a kind of Emotions which grows out of or a reaction to contentment. Contentment in this sense is been pleased with what you have or what you are given.
Gratitude flows out in a serene mode, it is a cool kind of emotion.
    When a gift is given to you by someone and you are pleased (contented) with it, the act touches your feelings and the reaction to it is gratitude. Gratitude is not necessarily the words of appreciation you give, (infact, those words can be uttered when you are not really pleased with the situation) it is a kind of emotional reaction that springs up in you, it is often mixed with joy and much pleasure, the external reaction is what can not be buried, the face is full of smiles, because it springs from the deepest place of the heart.
    In our societies, even in the Christendom, many people are in the habit of "faking" the experience of this pleasure filled emotion called gratitude. They smile even when it's not from their hearts. Why? Because they are not contented with what they have, their situations or location. Lack of contentment can rub you off of the pleasure of gratitude. Why so many people are concerned is that, they think, they've not attained or measured up with their mates forgetting a lot of people are envying them as they are. 
    The truth my dear is, if you are not contented or pleased with what you have now, you can never be contented with that thing you crave for. 
    Gratitude is a positive Emotion to be desired by all, it is mixed with Joy, pleasure, Happiness, Hope, inspiration and other positive feelings. Instead of mourning and waiting everyday for what you don't have, be grateful for what you have and enjoy the pleasure of gratitude.

THE MIRROR: IDENTITY AND SELFHOOD

By
Identity. It’s the essence of who you are—your personality, the core of your being. Selfhood, on the other hand, is the expression of that identity, the way you present yourself to the world. Think back to a time when you had to show your identity card. Do you remember the reaction of the person you handed it to? Likely, they nodded in approval, having seen all the necessary information about you on that card. Your identity, in that moment, was defined by the details captured on that small piece of plastic. But identity is more than just what's written on a card. It’s how you define yourself and how others perceive you. It’s the name you give yourself, the image you project, and the way people recognize you. Selfhood is often conveyed through three key aspects: - Dressing (Your Appearance) - Actions (What You Do and How You Do It) - Speech (The Words You Speak and How You Utter Them)  Dressing (Your Appearance) There’s a common saying: "Appearance shows the manner."

The Greatest Goal

By
When the ball enters the net, they say it's a goal! And the loosing team feel defeated forgetting that they've got the greatest goal.  Same to a man who has all his goals lain down and strategically pulling his efforts towards the goal but to realize at the end that, his goals can't be achieved, for known or unknown reasons. He looses strength. At times, he can feel like it's over. But the truth remains that it's not over until it is over. He's got the greatest goal.       Really, a goal is the achievement toward which effort is directed. And billions are the "I want to", "by God's grace I will", "in fact, I must" in the speeches of every man, especially at the beginning of every matter, but strength wanes and the story changes maybe in the middle of the road. Because all efforts put towards the achievement of the goals seem to be less affective. The truth is, no man has control over whatever happens and will happen....
