The Great List January 19, 2013

The week's been crappy.  All I can  say in a nutshell is that life throws curve balls at you every now and then.  I am not in a mind frame to write much, but writing my blog because I made a commitment. So getting straight to the point. I really had to think hard to think of positive things

The Tiny Buddha

I recently got introduced to Tiny Buddha.  Their tag line is "Simple Wisdom for Complex Lives. "  I don't like to read motivation books/blogs or listen to similarly "life changing" podcasts because they often confuse me.  However, true to its tag line, Tiny Buddha is simple.  Just a couple weeks, and I already have a lot of favorite quotes from from that site.  Some of my favorite quotes and simple wisdom pieces from the site are :


Life moves in cycles. Don’t waste the good times by regretting the past. When you’re down, remember this too shall pass. Develop a philosophical outlook that allows you to glow from within, peacefully watching and appreciating the amazingly diverse events of your life. The source of happiness lies in your heart in this moment, beyond the details and the story as you witness it all…

Sometimes you have to forget what you feel and remember what you deserve.

Its hard not to regret the past, but remember what has to happen will happen.  Also remember, a decision that may be right at one point may not necessarily remain right for the rest of the life.  Live life without regret. 

Love isn’t life without conflict. It’s about wanting and working to overcome it together.

If you ever feel the need to read some simple wisdom, make sure to head over to Tiny Buddha.  

The Great List January 12, 2013

Two weeks already into 2013.  This is my second great list and I am impressed with myself that I am actually continuing with this thing.. Here are some of the highlights of my week- 

The Great List January 06, 2012

Betsy over at BetsyLife publishes her great list every Friday, where she notes down all the positive things happening in her life, and be grateful for those.  I have often mentioned that I would like to start writing a diary of sorts.  But I have not been able to do so.  I also started with my happiness project this year, where I jot down a sentence or multiple sentences on things that were the highlight of my day.  And I love it so far.  Its hard though, for you have a limited space, but totally worth it as it makes you filter out the important from the not so important! :)

I never thought my Great List would start this early in the year, but the following from Betsy's great list from Friday, January 4, 2012, inspired me to start mine
