Impressionable Minds – a blog for children & parents

Morning is God’s way of saying one more time :-

Go make a difference, touch a heart, encourage a mind, inspire a soul and enjoy the day.

When is the last time you saw the sun rise.? Every thing looks so beautiful and quiet. The world look different.

Somethings for you to make a part of your daily life:

The moment you put your leg down on the ground be thankful and full of gratitude for a new day.

Try and make a difference to some one –

Help an elderly person (or anyone you feel needs help ) cross the road, maybe carry their bag if it looks heavy.

While travelling you can offer your seat in the bus or let someone take the auto ricksaw  which you have stopped.

Share your notes with someone who has missed a class -even if you are in a hurry.

Brighten someones day with a smile.

You can do just anything to make a difference and touch someones heart.

Most of all remember to enjoy every moment of your life. When one door closes another opens -you have to be ready to see it open.

Have a wonderful day.

Take chances..Tell the truth…Learn to say NO…Spend money on the things you love…Laugh till your stomach aches..Dance, even if you are too bad at it…Pose stupidly for photos…Be like a child….

Remember  death is not the greatest loss in life….Loss is when life dies inside you while you are alive…..

CELEBRATE  this event called  LIFE……

Learn to live life king size.Enjoy every day and moment.Things may not seem good sometimes but remember  ‘It will also pass.’.Love life and always begin your day by being GRATEFUL.

A child is like a butterfly in the wind.

Some fly higher than others,

but remember each one flies the best it can.

Why compare one against the other?

Each one is DIFFERENT.

Each one is SPECIAL.

Each one is BEAUTIFUL.

I read this small piece in the morning and thought i must share it with you all.Friends our children are the biggest gift God has given to us.He has made each child unique- each one looks different thinks different and grows up different.What is important to remember is that each child has something special.It is for us as parents teachers and guides to help find that little special thing in each child and be proud of him/her and help build up the child’s self esteem.

We need to remember that each child does the best he/she can .All they  need is a gentle nudging hand to help him grow.

Love your kids. Be proud of them. Open your heart and praise them for the things they make an effort to achieve.

When you talk,you are only repeating what you already know.But if you listen, you may learn something new.       Dalai Lama.

Now that is really beautifully said.Its very difficult but many a time it is a good idea to just listen.I know sometimes it becomes boring,but when you sit down and think back,I am sure you will have learnt something.Remember learning never ends.Listening is one way to learn.Then there is another thing – everyone likes to be heard.Listening to someone patiently is one way of respecting.Especially listening to old people, even if they keep repeating is one way of showing you love and care for them- you understand.

LISTENING

“For one minute,walk outside,stand there,,in silence,and contemplate how amazing

” Life is.”

I have talked about this in my earlier posts.This  is something all  of us should try and do just for a minute almost every day.We get so busy and involved with our daily lives that we forget or don’t see things around us.

If you drive every day, you know all the directions and turns on the way and reach your destination with no trouble, isn’t it? But if you have a driver and you are  sitting on the side and looking out of the car window ,it is only then that you look out and often wonder- did you ever see these  trees on the way,or suddenly you observe a new building a garden……The world around you amazes you.This happens only if you find time and look around. We need to make a concious effort do that. Just spend a minute doing nothing but looking around at our surroundings.

Once again listen to the you tube I posted earlier-‘All things bright and beautiful’- Then stand near your open window and quietly look around ,breathe deeply,and listen to the many sounds.It is then that you will realise how lucky we are to be in this beautiful world.Every time you stand quietly you will see and hear different things.

We must be grateful for all we have, for this beautiful life with amazing things all around.With that thought in mind we should promise  to take care and save our beautiful Mother Earth.We should live a life full of satisfaction and happiness. Caring for and Sharing all we have
