Momentum

You wan to do something,
You want it a lot,
Your minds set and reading to go
Having faith and a good will too
You start your race.......

Give it a day and your thankful to god
Give a week and you feel good
After three you think you'll never stop
But then on your fourth you've lost it and the momentums gone
What do you do?........

You ask....why? what did i do wrong?
Why when you start something can you not carry it on for life?

ANSWER:
Because you become big headed and feel too good.
Take one step at a time and remember thank god for every small thing in your life.
Every good and bad thing deserves a place in your memory as they both are valued the same as each other.
Your good deeds helps you climb the wall th heaven or god whilst the bad give you something to improve.
There is no hell.
The only hell is NOW.
NOW on earth.
This is hell.
Your away from who you want to be.
You follow the crowd rather than your king.

Whats wrong with us today?
Why do we forget the truth when it's blinding us :(
I don't know.
If I did, I'd be god myself

AIM in life: Is to become god. Have a relationship and become god. Why wait till you die to meet god. Meet God on earth !

This Shabad is by Guru Nanak Dev Ji in Raag Gauree on Pannaa 156

Bullying

On Monday, I was hurt.....I don't know why
I sat on a chair and two people push me against the wall
The smallest of them pulled my chair from beneath me
And as I jumped I landed on my feet,
Another chair hit my foot and the two guys jumped upon it
The chair went into my foot leaving it black and blue
Now, I can't walk or feel my toes
But nothings broken
I'm in pain but i don't hate them
And I never will

Study of Different Religions by Atheists

this is an old article but well worth reading

please click to enlarge - may take a while due to large image






“Bertrand Russell was asked…isn’t this religion capable of guiding mankind before the third world war?

In reply, Russell said, “Yes, it has the capability, but the Sikhs have not brought out in the broad daylight, the splendid doctrines of this religion which has come into existence for the benefit of the entire mankind. This is their greatest sin and the Sikhs cannot be freed of it.”

My Child

Something I've received often but only just realized its full meaning !

Just for this morning, I am going to smile when I see your face and laugh when I feel like crying.

Just for this morning, I will let you choose what you want to wear, and smile and say how perfect it is.

Just for this morning, I am going to step over the laundry, and pick you up and take you to the park to play.

Just for this morning, I will leave the dishes in the sink, and let you teach me how to put that puzzle of yours together.

Just for this afternoon, I will unplug the telephone and keep the computer off, and sit with you in the backyard and blow bubbles.

Just for this afternoon, I will not yell once, not even a tiny grumble when you scream and whine for the ice cream truck, and I will buy you one if he comes by.

Just for this afternoon, I won't worry about what you are going to be when you grow up, or second guess every decision I have made where you are concerned.

Just for this afternoon, I will let you help me bake cookies, and I won't stand over you trying to fix them.

Just for this afternoon, I will take us to McDonald's and buy us both a Happy Meal so you can have both toys.

Just for this evening, I will hold you in my arms and tell you a story about how you were born and how much I love you.

Just for this evening, I will let you splash in the tub and not get angry.

Just for this evening, I will let you stay up late while we sit on the porch and count all the stars.

Just for this evening, I will snuggle beside you for hours, and miss my favorite TV shows.

Just for this evening when I run my finger through your hair as you pray, I will simply be grateful that God has given me the greatest gift ever given.

I will think about the mothers and fathers who are searching for their missing children, the mothers and fathers who are visiting their children's graves instead of their bedrooms, and mothers and fathers who are in hospital rooms watching their children suffer senselessly, and screaming inside that they can't handle it anymore.

And when I kiss you goodnight I will hold you a little tighter, a little longer. It is then, that I will thank God for you, and ask him for nothing, except one more day.

Warrior Princess

I am a Princess, I wear a Crown
Don't let my Keshes go tumbling down
Instead i keep them neatly wound
Inside, beneath, my Keski, bound

I am a Princess, I let it show
I want everyone to know
I am daughter of a King, and so
I let 'each' one of my Keshes grow

I am a Princess, I live in His Grace
Fresh and clean without a 'common' trace
I don't 'make up', cut, bleach, or paste
I'm not a phoney, I have an 'honest face'

I am a Princess, as royalty, I wear Bana
With my breath do Simran, read BaNee, learn Kathaa
My hands help with Langar, do shoe Seva
My hearts home is in my Fathers Castle, His Gurudwara

I am a Princess, I keep Panj Kakar
Precious gifts from Five Beloved Sevadar
Weapons to help me fight 5 enemies, win the 'world' war
I am a Warrior Princess, my name is Kaur
