One day a man was walking along the beach. Then he noticed a figure in the distance. As he got closer, he realized the figure was of a boy picking something up and gently throwing it into the ocean.
Approaching the boy, he asked, "What are you doing?" Then the boy replied, "Throwing a starfish into the ocean. Soon, the sun is up and the tide is going out. If I don't throw them back, they'll die."
"Son," the man said. "Don't you realize there are miles and miles of beach and hundreds of starfish? You can't possibly make a difference!"
After listening politely, the boy bent down then picked up another starfish. He threw it into the surf. Then smiling at the man, he said "I make a difference for that one."
A simple act of kindness can make a difference. Whoever you are and wherever you are, you can make a difference. To your family, to your friends, and even to unfamiliar faces.
Sometimes, we feel that we are insignificant like the little boy. Yet just like the little boy who picked up a starfish, this simple act of kindness made a whole lot of difference to the starfish.
When you make a little smile to another person, be it your family, friends or strangers you meet, you had made a great difference to them.
Simple little action can make a great difference to the one you care most. Saving a starfish is a metaphor of this little action.
Let's make a difference now.

You will receive a body. You may like it or hate it, but it will be yours for the entire period this time around.
You will learn lessons. You are enrolled in a full-time, informal school called life. Each day in this school you will have the opportunity to learn lessons. There are no mistakes, only lessons.
Growth is a process of trial and error, experimentation. The failed experiments are as much as a part of the process as the experiment that ultimately works.
A lesson is repeated until it is learned. A lesson will be presented to you in various forms until you have learned it, then you can go on to the next lessons. Learning lessons does not end.
There is no part of life that does not contain its lessons. If you are alive, there are lessons to be learned. There is no better than here.
When your there has become here, you will simply obtain another there that will, again, look better than here.
Others are simply mirrors of you. You cannot love or hate something about another person, unless it relets to you something you love or hate about yourself.
What you make of your life is up to you. You have all the tools and resources you need, what you do with them is up to you.
The choice is yours and answers lie inside you. All you need to do is look, listen, and trust.

Each one of us on this earth has it... The ability to lead and inspire.
Sometimes our work feels small and insignificant. But remember, a small ripple can gain momentum and build a current that is insurmountable.
Begin with one small step. Don't let other stand in your way. Some may laugh, so what. Many will follow.
Don't ever give up. Success seems to be largely a matter of hanging on after others have let go.
Fear keeps people small. Run towards your fears and embrace them. On the other side of your greatest fears lives your greatest life.
Get out of the stands, get on the court. Take risks and be positive. What you think, is who you become.
Dream, dream big. Feel it, believe it, and achieve it. Whatever your dreams are, go for it! You will inspire others.
Extend a hand. Care and be kind. When someone does something good, applaud. You will make two people happy.
Be a positive role model. Be the change you want to see in the world. Make a difference.

As Mahatma Gandhi said...
"Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever"
How many movies have you seen in life? How many more would you see?
Our earthly life is marked by arrival and departures. We did not chose the day we arrive here and we do not know the day we are going to be call out of here as well.
Some spiritual traditions teach that, in the moment of death the soul released from the material body remembers every single moment of the live just lived.
This is the movie of your life: Every single act big or apparently insignificant, the good deeds, the bad judgments manifested on day light or on the silence of the night, they are all shown to you.
We face our life registry; We see our virtues and our failures, with our consciousness as our own judge, we realize what we did with our gift of time.
Many traditions defined the next world as "the world of truth". Because when we can see ourselves in a panoramic vision, we can value our actions.
If you light a lamp for somebody, it will also brighten your path. What we call the secret of happiness is no more a secret than our willingness to choose life. The personal life deeply lived always expands into truths beyond itself.
The movie of our lives have no premiere, and will not go to a re-editing table. We are, what we made of ourselves. There is nonetheless a tradition that teaches the existence of a second movie.
A movie where you could see what you would have become if you followed your heart, have made the right decisions if you had lived your life in full potential.
The majority of the human race only survives, living the fragility of life in day by day basis. There are many out there that silently just wait for a hand full of compassion, for the support of justice and some hope that you are not alone.

We tend to think of ourselves as a people of beginnings and endings. And yet, there is neither.
That which our love will continue forever. Just as surely as that which we hate.
Do away with that which we don't want by ceasing to hate and resist it. There is only one power and one force in the universe... That is God.
He created us in his image and likeness. So we are that.
The power to heal and prosper us, to guide and help us is not in the skies... It is and has always been within us.
All we have to do is to become aware that God is always with us...
There is mountain-moving power in each and every one of God's children, becuase we are a part of Him.
And yet, at times, we think ourselves apart from Him...
We are made as God was. At which He can do we can also do. Everyone are all co-creators of God, and gifted with the Divine Power.
