Forces For You

A L O H A From Honolulu!

The sun never quits shining.
Sometimes, clouds just
get in the way.
Collective Wisdom Expression






A smile doesn’t cost a cent,
but draws a lot of interest.
Dale Carnegie



“Ko aloha la ea, Ko aloha la ea.”
Keep your love, keep your love.
No matter what obstacles come...
keep your love.
Chiefess Manono 
                     Link




The forces that are for you
are greater than the
forces against you.
 Joel Osteen




Let my love like sunlight
surround you and yet
give you illumined freedom.
Rabindranath Tagore




Hold your values tight,  
Yet keep an open heart
Let new ideas ignite.  
Every ending is a start.

Be firm in your truths
Yet ready to learn,  
For growth comes from bridges, and
Listening is how we discern.

In conversation
Let kindness lead the way,  
Embrace different voices
Let them have their say.  

It's together
We must journey
Values with openness,
Let’s build
Instead of fighting 
And find the treasure in
This glorious mess.

The Java sparrow is nice, and I guess it doesn't come from Java in Indonesia. Smiling can works wonders. I try hard.

What a beautiful collection of wisdom and inspiration! Each quote and expression holds such deep meaning, reminding us to embrace love, positivity, and open-heartedness, no matter the challenges we face. I especially love the idea of holding onto our values while remaining open to growth and new perspectives—it's a powerful message for navigating life's journey.

As we near the end of the week, how have things been going for you? I just shared a new blog post over at www.melodyjacob.com; feel free to take a look!
