gaye baras ki eid ka din kiya acha tha
chand ko dekh ke uska chehra dekha tha
faza mein cactus ke lehje ki nermahat thi
mausam apne rang mein faiz ka mesrah tha
Dua ke be-awaz, ulohi lamhoon mein
woh lamha bhi kitna dilkash lamha tha
haath utha ker jab Aankhoon hi
aankhoon mein...
uss ne mujh ko apne Rab se manga tha
Phir mere chehre ko haatoon mein le ker
kitne piyaar se mera matha chooma tha!
Hawa! kuch aj ki shab ka ahwaal suna
kiya woh apni chat per aj akeela tha?
ya koi mere jessi saath thi, aur uss ne
chand ko dekh ke uss ka chehra dekha tha?

Do your outer choices reflect your inner values?
If not, then your life will move from one
conflict
to another.
Yet when the choices you make do indeed come from
the person you are, then you will travel
steadily
in the direction of your highest visions.
When your actions are in agreement with your
purpose, those actions will surely take you
where
you most want to go.
Why would you ever act in opposition
to who you truly are?
Unfortunately, there are plenty of temptations
to do so.
It could be that you're worried about what others
will think, so you go along with what they expect
you to do, even though it hurts somewhere inside.
Or it could be that you crave the false sense of
security that material possessions and shallow
pleasures seem to offer.
Yet the real you, the beautiful, unique person
inside, knows better.
The more you allow your own deeply held values to guide your moment-to-moment thoughts
and actions, the more fulfilling and joyful life
will become.
There is real and inexhaustible value in the
authentic person you are.
Let your life express it in everything you do.
~Ralph Marston~

What is the most positive, wonderful thing
you can imagineFor yourself, for your life,
for the ones you love, for the World
in which you live?
As soon as you can imagine it,
You're well on the way to making it a reality.
If it were impossible there would be no way
you could even Conceive of it.
Live with the knowledge and the assurance
That the best you can imagine is indeed
available to you,And is indeed possible
for you.
You are filled with valuable experience.
The things you've Done and learned and seen
and lived through have left behind A unique,
Powerful substance of experience that is
yoursAlone.
It would be a shame for all that to go to waste.
It is yoursTo make use of,
yours to build upon, and yours with
which to Grow.
Though you cannot live in the past, you can
draw from the Value you created there.
Invest today's actions with the Wealth of
experience you've accumulated,
and that investment
Will immediately begin to pay dividends.
Live your passion, do your dream, and feel wonderfully alive
In each moment. This life is now yours, so experience in it
Every richness you can imagine.
