Regardless of our daily hassles or more dramatic problems, luckily we ALL can have access to a durable self-power in life. It is called positive thinking and it seems that today, September 13, is meant to celebrate it.
Well, Bambi will pause for a few seconds to wish each one of you reading this post now a good day. She hopes you are feeling alive, ideally connected to your most positive energy possible, even if your day may be a bad one. As they say, there is always something good even in bad days.
Sometimes, a simple little thing such as a smile on the face of others because of a nice gesture of kindness from us can make the entire difference between hope and despair or… simply between a bad or a good day for all. Sometimes, it is the strength to move on with our life despite hardship or grief. At other times, it takes an extra courage, or a little more dose of patience, to achieve whatever objective we pursue, to simply enjoy a pleasant moment, and/or to take an emotional distance from negativity, whether stemming from those around us or from us.
To conclude this post, Bambi will allow herself to: (1) cite Tibet’s spiritual leader the Dalai Lama with the following wise words: “There are only two days in the year that nothing can be done. One is called yesterday and the other is called tomorrow, so today is the right day to love, believe, do and mostly live“; and (2) re-post Ms. Yasmine Ali’s uplifting Egyptian song entitled “Meeting people” [“Nikabel Nass” in Arabic], hoping you will enjoy it as much as Bambi does each time she listens to it or even sings it (even with her frog’s voice). For your convenience, a quick English translation will follow it. It is taken from an older post shown further below.
“We meet new people, we leave other people.
Our life can change, or turn upside down, in one second. What can we do?
This one is harming another person, this one is being hurt. This one is living in the past.
And our life conditions are baffling. If we are satisfied, they will deteriorate. Yes, we will be upset.
And whose life is always safe? No one can guarantee the future days.
The one who is satisfied with his life conditions and differentiates between “halal” (good or allowed in life) and “haram” (unlawful or prohibited).
A question and its answer, we know it, although one day we will forget it, and what do we take with us in the end?
As long as we leave the world and we will leave it, why will we be upset?
A piece of advice, just live and do not let anything disturb your peace of mind.
Take one minute only to look around you and you will see the sun shining brightly.
And then, at the height of the night, you will see the beautiful moon enlightening you.
Other than joy and laughter, do not leave in your features when you will go.
What are you arranging and calculating? What will happen will end up happening to you.
Hope is so close to those who want to see it. You will be optimistic, and life will laugh back to you, in the blink of an eye, and the world will be yours.
Our lives are hours that we paint and beautify with colours.
With one colour, we choose to end life and with another colour we can give our life safety.
Tomorrow your worries will pass; there is nothing that shall not pass.
A life that wants you to be strong; the more you feel empowered, the fullest you will live.
We meet new people, we leave other people.
Our life can change or turn upside down in one second, what can we do?“
