Motivational Life Status

 Life teaches us something new every single day—sometimes through happiness, sometimes through pain, and sometimes through unexpected challenges. But the truth is, every struggle makes us stronger, every setback shapes our character, and every small step forward brings us closer to who we are meant to be.

Today, I am sharing 50 motivational thoughts that have inspired me to stay positive, stay patient, and keep fighting for my dreams. May these words give you strength, hope, and a fresh perspective on life. 🌟

Motivational Life Status 

1. Life becomes more meaningful when we stop complaining and start focusing on what we can improve each day.

2. Every sunrise gives us a new chance to rewrite our story; yesterday’s failures don’t define tomorrow.

An old lady, along with her grandson, was strolling on a sea beach. Suddenly the sea went violent, and huge waves started beating the shore. Amidst a lot of mayhem, people began running away to safe places. That’s when a tragedy happened – one huge wave gulped the small kid and sucked it into the sea.

If You want to achieve success in your life, you need to work hard.

If You want to achieve success in your life, you need to work hard. You need to live with determination. You need to have patience. And even after following all of these, we still have to face challenges in our life, then we fail and become hopeless. Hopelessness is the biggest enemy of success. If you become hopeless, you will lose everything. Whenever you feel hopeless, just remember the mother giraffe.

A Heart Touching Story…

A  5 years old boy went to a pharmacy and asked the pharmacist,

‘This is the only money I have, can I buy miracles?’

Once, a very poor man came to Buddha. He asked: - Why am I so poor?

                                 

Once, a very poor man came to Buddha. He asked:

- Why am I so poor?

Buddha answered:

- You are poor because you don’t practice generosity. You don’t practice charity.

- But how can I practice charity if I don’t have anything to give?

- You have five treasures that you can share with others.

First, you have your face. You can share your smiles with others, but you don’t do that.

Second, you have your eyes. You can look at others with eyes full of love and care, but you don’t do that.

Third, you have your mouth. With this mouth you can say nice things to others, but you don’t do that.

Then, you have a heart. With your loving heart you can wish happiness to others, but you don’t do that.

 Last treasure that you possess is your body. With this body you can do many good things to others, but you don’t even do that. That is why you are poor.

peace of mind

Once Buddha was walking from city to city with some of his followers. It was in the early days. When they were traveling, they passed a lake, they stopped there and Buddha told one of his disciples, "I am thirsty. I get some water from that lake there."

The disciple went up to the lake when he arrived on it, he saw that some people were washing clothes in the water, and at the same time, a bullock cart was starting to cross the banks of the lake. As a result, the water was very dirty, it was very turbine.

The disciple thought, "How can I give this dirty water to drink Buddha?"Then he came back and told Buddha, "There is so much water in the water. I do not think it is suitable for drinking."

After about half an hour, Buddha then asked the same disciple to return to the lake and gave him some water to drink. The disciples went back to the obedient lake this time they found that there was absolutely clear water in this lake. Mud was settled down and it was advisable to be above water. So he collected some water in a vessel and brought it to Buddha.

Buddha looked at the water, and then he looked at the disciple and said, "Look, what you have done to clean the water ... let it go ... and the soil settled in itself - and you got clean water. The mind is the same, when it gets bothered, just let it happen Let it take a little longer It will automatically settle for you, it does not have to be put in any effort to calm it. "

God, is very Kind | short story

One day, a person lost his one leg. He repeatedly thanked God : “O God ! You’re very merciful and kind .” One man asked  him , “How can God be kind and merciful when he has taken your leg? ” His answer was plain , “He has power and could have taken both my legs but he is kind and merciful, so he has taken only one .”

After a few years , he lost the other leg too . This time also he thanked God for his mercy and kindness . The man asked him again , “ How can God be merciful and kind when he has taken both your legs? ” His reply was the same, “ God is powerful. He could have taken my hands too but he has mercy and kindness , so he took only my legs . ”

It so happened that in another accident he lost both the hands . Again he thanked God for being kind and merciful . He was again asked , “How can God be merciful and kind when he has taken both your legs and both your hands? Now, you can do nothing. ” He was un-shattered . His reply was the same , “God is powerful. He could have taken my life but because he is kind and merciful, so he took only my hands.” It’s an example of extreme faith. Hindus have faith like this.

Moral- With kindness of God, one gets divinity.

Fools can neither save themselves nor can serve their master.

Once a man was coming back home after a long time and was happy to see his favorite servant at the station.

“Is it all right at home?” the man asked the servant.

“Yes, Master! Everything is all right except your pet dog that died a fortnight ago,” replied the servant.

“Ah! But it was nice and healthy . How did he die?”

“The bone of your strong horse got struck in its mouth.”

“How can it get the bone of my horse. Has the horse died?”

“Yes, my master! The horse could not get enough to eat . There was no fodder left.”

“What happened to fodder?”

“It was utilized when your mother was put to pyre.”

“What do you mean? Ah! Has my mother died? How did she die?”

“She could not tolerate the death of her only grandson.”

“Ah! Is my son dead?”

“Yes, he died when your house collapsed.”

“Has my house collapsed?”

“Yes, when your wife tried to commit suicide by spraying petrol, the house caught fire and was gutted. Your son tried valiantly to save your wife but the roof fell on him.”

“Ah! I’m completely ruined. I have lost everyone. And yet, you say that everything is all right.

“Everything else is all right. I mean …. I’m sorry …. Moreover, I was advised to  break the news slowly. They thought there is the danger of losing the master too.”

The master fell down.😕

Moral

Fools can neither save themselves nor can serve their master.

Planting Fruit Trees for Grand children | save The Trees

Once, a king was riding a horse. On the outskirt of a village he saw a very old man planting a mango sapling. He wondered, ‘What is the use of planting the sapling when the old man can survive only for a couple of years?’

His curiosity grew. He went to the man and asked him the question that was giving him trouble. He asked: “Do you think you will live long enough to eat the fruits of this sapling when it grows into a tree?”

“Oh! No. I don’t expect to live so long. I’m a doddering old man and can die any day.” The answer of the old man was plain enough.

“Then why are you planting the sapling which will not give benefit to you?” asked the king.

The old man came with a simple answer: “I ate the fruits of the trees that my grandfather planted. I am planting this sapling so that my grandchildren may eat fruits.”

The king appreciated the old man and rode away with the determination to get many fruit trees planted.

Moral

Planting fruit trees to ensure the health and happiness of the posterity.

It is easy to say but difficult to do | Who Will Bell the Cat?😆

😆

In a grain shop there was a group of rats. But there was a big and strong cat in the area. The cat would often visit the shop and catch and eat some mice for breakfast and others for lunch or dinner. The rats lived in fear. They were afraid of the cat . They would come out cautiously but the cat would come silently and pick one up easily.

One day, the rats called a meeting .All the rats participated. They declared the cat to be a villain and the greatest danger. They wanted to get rid of the rat. They thought that if they get timely warning then they could safely return to the holes .They could not think of a way out.  At last, a young and healthy rat climbed a sack and said, “We must procure a bell and a string. We can tie the bell in the neck of the cat. Then whenever the cat would come towards us the bell would ring and we would be easily alerted.”

It was a great idea. Other rats clapped at the suggestion and we are very proud of the young rat for he had come up with a great idea .When the rats were happy and realized that they could live freely, an old rat clearing his voice said loudly ,“It’s all right to bell the cat but tell me who would bell the cat?”  There was no answer.😕😅
