When you let little problems get you down, then you give the 

big problems the power to overwhelm you.

When you constantly cpomplain about things that don't really matter,

you compromise your ability to successfully handle the things 

that do matter.

Whenever your day get interrupted by an unexpected annoyance,

you have a choice to make.

You can let it poison your whole attitude, or can actually use it 

to make you more positive and powerful.

Decide to laugh at little problems, and see each one As an oppotunity

for growth. Every minor annoyance that you quickly and successfully 

handle will strengthen your confidence.

That strong confidence will be extremely valuable 

when a major problem comes along.

Even more importantly, that same confidence enables you

to reach whatever goals you set for yourself.

If you're already in the habit of moving forward through the little challanges,

that momentum will serve you well when the big challanges arrive.

Every small problem provides you with a way to increase your positive momentum.

A day that is filled with little annoyances is a day that is rich with opprtunities

for real and lasting growth.

Welcome those opprtunities with a smile, and one by one

they will make you stronger.

 This is the most powerful aid to peace of mind. 

We often develop ill feelings inside our heart for the person 

who insults us or harms us.

We nurture grievances. 

This in turn results in loss of sleep,

development of stomach ulcers, 

and high blood pressure. 

This insult or injury was done once, 

but nourishing of grievance goes on forever 

by constantly remembering it. 

Let Him judge the act of the one who insulted you.

Life is too short to waste in such trifles. 

Forgive, Forget, and march on. 

Love flourishes in giving and forgiving.

turn love into fear, peace into anger and then

distort our attitudes and actions towards others.

This is neither relaxing for ourselves, or for those around us.

Which is why detachment is the secret to living lightly and lovingly.

To be a radiator that people come to for real warmth,

what do you need to detach from today?

If you don't detach then you will stay attached,

and then you will see others and life itself as a threat,

and your tension will keep them away.

But they cannot threaten you.

Only your dependency on a thing, or an idea,

or an opinion can be threatened.

Tessellated pavement in Tasmania is a rare feature formed by the erosion
of flat sedimentary rock. The effect is a result of parts of the pavement
eroding more quickly than the joints, creating a rectangular "pan" formation.


A morning glory is one of the rarest cloud formations in the world and
occurs most often in northern Australia near the Gulf of Carpentaria.
It's a low-lying tube-shaped cloud that appears to roll through the sky
like a baker's rolling pin, sometimes stretching up to 1000km.


The horizontal waterfalls in the Kimberleys in Western Australia are
a natural phenomenon caused by water surging between two narrow
island gaps. The tides create the effect of a flat waterfall flowing
horizontally across the face of the ocean.


Gantheaume Point in Broome, WA, is home to dinosaur footprints
more than 130 million years old. They can be seen in the rocky reef
area at low tide.


At the beginning of the wet season on Christmas Island more than
150 million red crabs move from inland shelters to the shore for their
annual breeding season. During this time, usually from October to November,
the entire forest floor, and even the roads that run through it, are swathed
in a sea of red in one of the most spectacular animal migrations in the world.


Little did engineers know the retaining wall of the Barossa Reservoir
in Adelaide would become one of the Barossa Valley's star attractions
(after the wine, of course). The Whispering Wall has a unique acoustic
effect where words whispered on one side can be clearly heard at the
other, more than 100m away.


Eastern horseshoe bats can be spotted in parts of Australia, particularly
in Queensland. They are distinguished by the horseshoe-shaped fleshy
area around their nose.


The blobfish lives off the coasts of mainland Australia and Tasmania.
They're rarely seen by humans, though, because they inhabit deep
water at depths between 600 and 1200m


Gymea lilies are spectacular Australian native plants with large red flower
heads atop a single stem stretching up to 6m.


Tawny frogmouths are a uniquely Australian species of the frogmouth,
a nocturnal bird often mistaken for an owl. This picture shows a baby
tawny frogmouth, whose white feathers turn grey and brown with age.

Don't look back on what has happened,

Disappointments and sad things...

Instead look toward the future,

And the joy that each day brings.

 

Don't live your life unhappy,

From things already done...

Concentrate on your accomplishments,

Battles fought that you have won.

 

The chapters of your life are like,

A book you might have written...

Full of fun and many good times,

And those when you were bitten.

 

Looking back will serve no purpose,

And is a waste of time...

Mere lessons from the book  of life,

That  guide you down the line.

 

Don't look back upon your failures,

Instead keep moving on...

For life is what you make it,

And too soon has come and gone.
