“Life is like a journey on a train, with its stations, with changes of routes, and their accidents!
At birth we boarded the train and met our parents, and we believe that they will always travel on our side , but at some station they will get down leaving us in this journey alone… In the same way other people will board, and they will be significant: our siblings, friends, children and even the love of our life. Many will get down and leave a permanent vacuum.. Others go so unnoticed that we don’t even realize that they vacated their seats! This trip will be full of joy, some sorrows, fantasies, expectations , goodbyes and farewells. Success consists in having a good relationship with all passengers, give the best of ourselves. The great mystery to everyone is we do not know which station we will get down, so we must live in the best way, love, forgive, offer the best of ourselves … So, when the time comes to get down and leave our seat empty , we should leave beautiful memories for those who will continue their travel on the train of life!! My wish for you isthat the journey by this train for the coming year is better every day …. reap success and give lots of love, and especially thank God for the journey! Oh and I thank you for being one of the passengers on my train. Let this coming year be the best …. full of peace and love and a prosperous and healthy one for all … ….Love you my dear fellow passenger….
Greetings and Wishes from your fellow traveller!!!”…..
Above input was received by me as New Year Greetings from a friend of mine ….It is so nice and simple ” life secret ” that i am tempted to share it with all of you thro this site !!!

Your life is a long journey. You should have fewer luggage (desires) in this long journey of life. Therefore it is said, “Less luggage, more comfort, makes travel a pleasure.” So ceiling on desires is what you have to adopt today. You have to cut short your desires day by day. You are under the mistaken notion that happiness lies in the fulfillment of desires. But in fact, happiness begins to dawn when desires are totally eradicated. When you reduce your desires, you advance towards the state of renunciation. You have many desires; what do you get out of them? You are bound to face the consequences when you claim something as yours. You will be blissful the moment you give up ego and attachment.

Reblogged from The Growing Stone of Hope blog site ….

The journey and growth of “The Growing Stone of Hope” started in the year 2013.
You all showed us with your comments and clicks that you like the idea to support people in need in India by just clicking on the original video on Youtube. Therefore we are thinking big. In 2014 “The Growing Stone of Hope” should obtain the attention it deserves. 2014 should be the time to convince the media to mention us on their shows.
Today is the 12.31.2013 and the “TGSH” has 389 Hope Stones & a new wood escutcheon.
I believe that 2014 will be a hit for “TGSH” ! My wife and I are very excited about it and we hope you are too.
We really wish you all the best for the next year and that all your wishes will come true.
We thank you so much for your support! Never forget that…
