Lifestyle is the art of discovering way to live uniquely.
let others lead small lives, but not you. let others argue over small things, but not you. Let others cry over small hurts, but not you. Let others leave their future in someone else's hands, but not you.
Some People have learned to earn well but they haven't learned how to live well.
Lifestyle is not an amount; it's a practice.
Earn as much money as you possibly can and as quickly as you can. The sooner you get money out of the way, the sooner you will be able to get to the rest of your problems in style.

Experience
Take time to gather up the past so that you will be able to draw from your experiences and invest them in the future.
Don't let the learning from your own experience take too long. If you have been doing it wrong for the last ten years, I would suggest that's long enough.
Life is not just the passing of time. Life is the collection of experiences and their intensity.
It's easy to carry the past as a burden instead of a school. It's easy to let it overwhelm you instead of educate you.
Be like a sponge when it comes to each new experience. If you want to be able to express it well, you must first be able to absorb it well.

An Encyclopedia Love
There is a story of a man who was walking down the street. He paused at a used book store, and in the window he saw a book with a title, How to Hug. He was taken by the title and, being of somewhat of a romantic nature, went in to buy the book. To his chagrin, he discovered it was the seventh volume and covered with subjects "How to Hug."
Everyone knows that the church is place where love ought to be manifested, and many people have come to the church hoping to find a demonstration of love- only to discover an encyclopedia on theology.

Concentration
The best advice I ever came across on the subject of concentration is: Wherever you are, be there.
When you work, work. when you play, play. Don't mix the two.
Give whatever you are doing and whoever you are with the gift of your attention.
On the way to work, concentrate on the way - not on work.
Pay attention. Don't just stagger through the day.

Truth
Very few of us are authorities on the truth. About the closest that any one of us can get is what we hope is the truth or what we think is the truth. That's why the best approach to truth is probably to say, "It seems to me..."
There is nothing wrong with affirmations, Provided what you are affirming, provided what you are affirming is the truth. If you are broke, for example, the best thing to affirm is, "I'm broke!"
If the truth isn't enough, then you must become stronger at presenting it.
Sincerity is not a test of truth. We must not make this mistake: He must be right; he's so sincere. It is possible to be sincerely wrong. We can only judge truth by truth and sincerity by sincerity.
Find someone who is will to share the truth with you.

A blind boy till age 25.
One old man was sitting with his 25 years old son in the train. Train is about to leave the station. All passengers are settling
down their seat. As train started young man was filled with lot of joy and curiosity. He was sitting on the window side. He went out one hand and feeling the passing air. He shouted, "Papa see all trees are going behind". Old man smile and admired son feelings. Beside the young man one couple was sitting and listing all the conversion between father and son. They were little awkward the attitude of 25 years old man behaving like a small child.
Suddenly young man again shouted, "Papa see the pond and animals. Clouds are moving with train". Couple was watching the young man in embarrassingly. Now its start raining and some of water drops touches the young man's hand. He filled with joy and he closed the eyes. He shouted again,” Papa it’s raining, water is touching me, see papa". Couple couldn't help themselves and ask to old man. Why don't you visit the Doctor and get treated your son. Old man said," *Yes, We were coming from hospital only. Today only my son got the eyes first time in life".
Moral of the story is;
**We must not come to any conclusion until we know all facts".**

Save Us From Ourselves
We have taller buildings, but shorter tempers; wider highways but narrow view points; we spend more, but have less; we buy more, but enjoy it less.
We have bigger houses and smaller families; more conveniences, but less less time; we have more degrees, but less common sense; more knowledge, but less judgement; more experts, but more problems; more medicine, but less wellness.
We spend too recklessly, laugh too little, drive to fast, get angry too quickly, stand up too late, get up too tired, read too seldom, watch TV to much and pray too seldom.
We have multiplied our possession, but reduced our values.
We talk too much, love too seldom and life too often.
We've learned how to make a living but not a life; we've added years to life, not life to years.
We've been all the way to the moon and back, but have trouble crossing the street to meet the new neighbour.
We've conquered outer space but not inner space; we've done larger things but not better things; we've cleaned up the air but polluted the soul; we've split the atom but not our prejudice; we write more but learn less; plan more accomplish less.
We've learned to rush but not to wait; we have higher incomes but lower morals; more food but less appeasement; more acquaintances but fewer friends; more effort but less success.
We build more computer to hold more information, to produce more copies than ever but less communication; we've become long on quantity but short on quality.
There are times of fast food and slow digestion, tall men and short character, steep profits and shallow relationships.
These are the times of wold peace but domestic warefare, more leisure and less fun, more kinds of food but less nutrition.
These are days of two incomes but more divorce; of fancier houses but broken homes.
There are days of quick trips., disposable diapers, throwaway morality, one- night stands and pills that do everything from cheer, to quiet, to kill.
It is a time when there is much in show window and nothing in stock room. Lord, save us from ourselves!!
