The Black Dot

One day, Professor Xavier entered his classroom and asked his students to prepare for a surprise test. They all waited anxiously at their desks for the test to begin.


The Professor X. handed out the test questions with the text facing down, as usual. Once he handed them all out, he asked the students to turn over the papers.


To everyone’s surprise, there were no questions–just a black dot in the center of the paper.


The Professor, seeing the expression on everyone’s faces, told them the following:

“I want you to write about what you see there.”


The students, confused, got started on the inexplicable task.


At the end of the class, the professor took all the answer sheet and started reading each one of them out loud in front of all the students.


All of them, with no exception, defined the black dot, trying to explain its position in the center of the sheet. After all had been read, the classroom silent, the professor started to explain:


“I’m not going to grade you on this, I just wanted to give you something to think about. No one wrote about the white part of the paper. Everyone focused on the black dot – and the same thing happens in our lives.

However, we insist on focusing only on the black dot – the health issues that bother us, the lack of money, the complicated relationship with a family member, the disappointment with a friend. The dark spots are very small when compared to everything we have in our lives, but they are the ones that pollute our minds.


Take your eyes away from the black dots in your lives. Enjoy each one of your blessings, each moment that life gives you.

Be happy and live a life filled with love!”

“What is time?”

One day a wise man was asked a question: “What is time?”
His answer was:
– Yesterday, today, tomorrow…
The one who asked the question was disappointed:
– That’s it?
– Well, – the wise man said, – then listen to this story.

There was Today which wanted to become Always…  Yesterday said:
– I also wanted to become Always when I was you…
– Did you ask Always how it does that? – inquired Today.
– I asked.
– And?
– By changing, – was its answer, – by becoming Tomorrow from Today.
– But that means, – Today thought, – that Always does not belong to itself. It is always someone else! It means that something is making it do that. But what is it?
Yesterday said:
– Maybe it’s Time?
– What is time? – Today asked. – It’s only you and me, and also Tomorrow…

The one who was asking the wise man said nothing more, because another person, who was silent before, joined their conversation:
– But wise man, it means that time is the thing what passes. And that is wrong. It can also last by stopping.
The wise man looked at him with curiosity and answered with a smile:
– You are right. Sometimes today can last hundreds and thousands of years… before it passes. Sometimes it feels like yesterday has come back and we are living in it. There is a little bit of tomorrow in yesterday and in today, but we rarely recognise it. It turns out that there is only this trinity

Everyone Has a Story in Life

A 24 year old boy seeing out from the train’s window shouted…

“Dad, look the trees are going behind!”

Dad smiled and a young couple sitting nearby, looked at the 24 year old’s childish behavior with pity, suddenly he again exclaimed…

“Dad, look the clouds are running with us!”

The couple couldn’t resist and said to the old man…

“Why don’t you take your son to a good doctor?”The old man smiled and said…“I did and we are just coming from the hospital, my son was blind from birth, he just got his eyes today.

Every single person on the planet has a story. Don’t judge people before you truly know them. The truth might surprise you.

Conquer Your Negative Thoughts

There's no reason we could let ourselves unworthy. God's always watching how we generate little blessings to the best and proper ways.

There once a story of my life. I'm such a person born with a negative mind. How I wish I could live same with others happy lifestyle. When I was a little I'd never felt the true happiness of life. I don't even know how to value myself. I'd always mind the feelings of others even in exchange of my own free will. Definitely, I grew up having feelings of being lonely, shameful, sensitive and unsociable. I always put down myself on behalf of a group mistakes. I keep on regretting for my worthless behavior but how can I overcome since this was my true personality? I don't have confidence at all. I have a dream but I think I'm not worthy enough to achieve it.

We're facing the most difficult pace of life. Far from everything, always work day by day. Even under the rays of sunshine or even drops of rain. We're living a poor life. I'm 6 years old that time when I learn how things could be done. How money could be earned in exchange of your true services. I've always thought that life is unfair. Only few were selected to experience the happiness of living.

Our school is far enough, but we always imagine that it was near and safe to lessen the feeling of tiredness. Sometimes I thought it could be better to be out of school since all these things will no longer working out. Were only wasting our money and effort but my mother is such a great person. It seems like she's the one who ready to handle all burdens of life for us. Even at my negativity of thoughts, I always mind and respect the feelings of my mother. She didn't finish her school but she's a professional teacher for me. She's ready to sacrifice all her effort. She always thought that the only thing they could bequeath for us is to build a greater knowledge. This statement helps me think and realize the true meaning of love.

I gain a little confident. Ready to face all the challenge, my mother thought me so. Even at my greatest burden, I always try to motivate myself. If I cause some mistakes, I always keep on smiling. When I felt down, I try my best to stand up. When I felt shame, I thought myself to be lucky enough. Satisfactions teach me to make my days complete, teach me the feeling of real happiness. This life maybe is not about ENJOYING, but the main purpose is all about LEARNING.

Whatever may come, whatever it takes. Always look up to the positive ways!

INSPIRATIONAL STORY ABOUT DESTINY

SOMEONE ASKED A WISE MAN...

Someone asked a wise man:
– It is said that everyone’s destiny is determined.
The wise man nodded:
– Yes. For those who believe in it. If they think so, they believe that the circumstances of life are inevitable, consciously submitting to them and to those who created them. But there are people who do not believe in predestination, preferring to be the predestination of others.
The one who asked grunted sceptically:

– And how would then God know everything beforehand if there was no predestination? – And triumphantly looked at the wise man.
He simply raised his hands:
– I don’t know about God… He did not instruct me to answer on his behalf. But if I were him, I would be extremely bored knowing everything beforehand; it would be the same as you would be playing giveaway with yourself. I would most likely come up with a game, that would entertain me endlessly, and I would never know what the next move will be.

Why Forgive?

Why Forgive?
Often times we have heard people being told or probably we have been told the same thing ourselves; " you have to learn to forgive and forget" ,  but is it that easy?  Even if you forgive, do you ever forget?  Now, I am no patron of confusion I rather hope to enlighten you_ as always ☺.  Chances are that you already had this thought at some point in your life.

Below is the danger of not forgiving and even worse not forgetting. When God forgives our sins, he forgets them_forever and I mean For Ever.

(Isaiah 43:25)
I think that it is in the wisdom of God and in the perfect understanding that is his, that he urges us to be like him,  forgiving and loving. Spiritually, identification brings about an awakening however mild or crystal. When we remember and spell out the past offenses of others, we awaken the hurt and pain,  we open up wounds and renew the scars that have long been inflicted. We hurt them by bringing to life the guilt and evil they might have tried to let go of.

The same applies for self. When a man reminds himself in whatever way, either by thought or word of his sinful past, he gives strength to the power to sin. At that moment it feels like nothing has happened but unfortunately a lot has happened.

Thus dear friends, I consider it worthy to mention that it would be prudent, that one holds firm to the word; "In all things we a more than conquerors through him that loved us" _Romans 8:37, and never call to mind what has been forgiven you by God, do not hold yourself captive.  Remember for whosoever the son of Man sets free, he is free indeed.
