The greatest tribute to the departed is not sorrow but appreciation. We live life on the edge. We dream, we care, and we belong. This is a wonderful day! Yeee-ha!

It’s that time of the year again, when we celebrate the lost souls. A tribute to all lost soul who are the strength of our life, the rock of our family, the gentle heartbeat to our children. It’s their blessings that carries the weight of our body and the stars paints them in perfect silver calligraphy in azure sky. We cherished every moment with them at every stage of our journey and we miss them now.

There's no such thing as too much gratitude. Because the more of it you express, the more reasons you will be given to express it. Thoughtfulness pays big dividends. Develop an attitude of gratitude.

Don’t judge yourself by your past, you don’t live there anymore. Just because you’re not where you want to be today, doesn’t mean you won’t be there someday. You can turn it all around in the blink of an eye, by making a simple choice to stand back up – to try again, to love again, to live again, and to dream again. No one can ride you, unless your back is bent. Be a critic, but only criticize yourself in areas that you know you need to grow.

Confident people take a viewpoint not because they ponder they are constantly dead-on but since they are not scared to be mistaken. They listen ten times more than they speak; the only way to absorb more is to listen more. They duck the spotlight so it sparkles on others; they don’t need the validation of others, because genuine validation comes from within. Truly confident people admit their mistakes; they dine out on their screw-ups.

Life is about who you love and who you hurt. It's about faith, glee, and kindness. Life is about shunning envy; rising above lack of knowledge, and building self-confidence. It's about what you utter and what you imply. It’s about seeing people for who they are and not what they have. The majority of all, it is about choosing to use your life to touch someone else's in a way that could by no means have been realize otherwise. These choices are what life's about.
