  • A Lesson From Nature

    Throughout our lives, we all have opportunities to learn life lessons from many, many things. Everyone of us experience hardships and difficult times but the key is what we learn and how we handle these situations. A foolish person will dwell on the negative experience, may become depressed and suffer bouts of anxiety, sickness or…

  • A Little Piece of Home

    Have you ever thought about how precious and fortunate we are to live in the land that we do? After reading the following short story, I am sure that you will think of our land a little differently. This soldier in Iraq asked his wife to send him dirt (U.S. soil), fertilizer, and some grass…

  • Whose Hands?

    Perception of the circumstances and things that happen throughout our lives can be so very important. Sometimes, when things happen, it seems as if we have no control over them…they are out of our hands. But…are the circumstances that we experience REALLY out of our hands? IT DEPENDS WHOSE HANDS THEY ARE IN! A basketball…

  • Regrets of the Dying

    I have bad news for you…someday you are going to pass away. We all are. It is just a part of life. The million dollar question is…how well are we living the life that we have been given? Are we doing everything that we can do to help others? Make a difference in this world?…

  • When Life Is Gray

    Life is a funny thing…there are times when a person feels great about themselves; their self-esteem is at an all-time high, everything in the world looks and feels as beautiful as a cool, crisp autumn day…nothing can be better. Then come the “down times” in life; the moments in life when an individual feels as…

  • If Tomorrow Never Comes…

    If I knew it would be the last time that I’d see you fall asleep, I would tuck you in more tightly and pray the Lord, your soul to keep. If I knew it would be the last time that I see you walk out the door, I would give you a hug and kiss…

  • John D. Rockefeller: Learning Gratitude and the Gift of Giving

      How much of a “whole” person are you? How much are you REALLY grateful for the life that you have and all the things that have been given? How much do you help others or give your time, money, food, etc.? The following story is a great illustration showing us that you there is…

  • Who Are YOU?

    While praying one day, a woman asked, Who are you, God?” He answered, “I Am.” “But who is ‘I am”? she asked. He replied, “I am Love, I am Peace, I am Grace, I am Joy, I am Strength, I am Safety, I am Shelter, I am Power, I am the Creator, I am the…

  • What Students Remember Most About Teachers

    As most of you know (or don’t know), I am a teacher and coach. I have been doing both for 28 years now and I have loved every second of it. I really enjoy teaching my students in an atmosphere where they can have loads of fun, learn concepts, exercise and get rid if some…

  • Catching Monkeys in India

    This is a great little story that I found (great-motivational-stories.blogspot.com) that demonstrates two primary things that generally will decide whether or not a person ever becomes successful. It has always been fascinating to me how many people are afraid to let go of their fears or to think “outside the box” in order to be…

  • “More Than Enough” – A Heartwarming Story

    A few days ago, I read the following story on rishikajain.com, that is simply a very beautiful and heartwarming story. Warning, tissues may be needed! Recently, I overheard a mother and daughter in their last moments together at the airport as the daughter’s departure had been announced. Standing near the security gate, they hugged and…

  • The Dog Food Diet

      So, I’m at Wal-Mart today buying a bag of dog food for my dog. While in the check-out line, a woman behind me asked if I had a dog. Why else would I be buying dog food, RIGHT??? So on impulse, I told her no, I was starting the dog food diet again, and…
