PS. I got this from someone, read it. It's worth learning and knowing things that are never before your eyes.
The interview with God.
I dreamed I had an interview with God.
�So you would like to interview me?� God asked.
�If you have the time� I said.
God smiled. �My time is eternity.�
�What questions do you have in mind for me?�
�What surprises you most about humankind?�
God answered...
�That they get bored with childhood,
they rush to grow up, and then
long to be children again.�
�That they lose their health to make money...
and then lose their money to restore their health.�
�That by thinking anxiously about the future,
they forget the present,
such that they live in neither
the present nor the future.�
"That they live as if they will never die,
and die as though they had never lived.�
God�s hand took mine
and we were silent for a while.
And then I asked...
�As a parent, what are some of life�s lessons
you want your children to learn?�
�To learn they cannot make anyone
love them. All they can do
is let themselves be loved.�
�To learn that it is not good
to compare themselves to others.�
�To learn to forgive
by practicing forgiveness.�
�To learn that it only takes a few seconds
to open profound wounds in those they love,
and it can take many years to heal them.�
�To learn that a rich person
is not one who has the most,
but is one who needs the least.�
�To learn that there are people
who love them dearly,
but simply have not yet learned
how to express or show their feelings.�
�To learn that two people can
look at the same thing
and see it differently.�
�To learn that it is not enough that they forgive one another, but they must also forgive themselves.�
"Thank you for your time," I said humbly.
"Is there anything else
you would like your children to know?"
God smiled and said,
�Just know that I am here... always.�
Rules for being human
1. Your will receive a body. You may like it, or hate it, but it will be yours for the entire period this time around.
2. You will learn lessons. You are enrolled in a full time informal school called life. Each day in this school you have the opportunity to learn lessons. You may like the lessons or think they are irrelevant and stupid.
3. There are no mistakes, only lessons. Growth is a process of trial and error and experimentation. The �failed� experiments are as much a part of the process as the experiment that ultimately �works�.
4. A lesson is repeated until learned� A lesson will be presented to you in various forms until you have learned it. When you have learned it, you can go to the next lesson. Periodically, the lesson will be re- presented to see if you still remember it.
5. 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 learnt. If no lessons is being presented, it is likely that you are no longer alive.
6. �There� is no better than �here�. When your �there� has become a �here�, you will simply acquire another �there�. That will again look better than �here�.
7. Others are simply mirrors of you. You cannot love or hate something about another person unless it reflects something you love or hate about yourself.
8. What you make of your life is up to you. You have all the tools and resources you need. What you make of them is up to you; the choice is yours.
9. Your answers lie inside you. The answers to life�s questions lie inside you. All you have to do is look, listen and trust.
10. You will forget all this. That fact is itself a lesson.
I have learned
1. I have learned -
That sometimes the people
you expect to kick you
when you are down
will be the ones to
help you get back up.
2. I have learned -
That just because someone
does not love you the way
you want them to
does not mean
they don�t love you
with all they have.
3. I have learned -
That maturity has more to
do with the experiences you have
had and what you have learned
from them and less to do with
how many birthdays you have
celebrated.
4. I have learned -
That no matter how good a friend is,
He or she is going to hurt you every
once in a while and you must
forgive him or her for that.
5. I have learned -
That it isn�t always enough
to be forgiven by others.
You have to learn to forgive
yourself.
6. I have learned -
That no matter how badly
your heart is broken the
world doesn�t stop for
your grief.
7. I have learned -
That background and circumstances
May have influenced who we are,
but we are responsible for who
we become.
A letter from God
To : YOU
Date : TODAY
From : YOUR FRIEND
Subject : YOURSELF
Reference : LIFE
I am God. Today I will be handling all of your problems.
Please remember that I do not need your help.
If life happens to deliver a situation to you that you cannot handle,
Do not attempt to resolve it.
Kindly put it in the SFGTD (something for God to do) box.
All situations will be resolved, but in My time, not yours.
Once the matter is placed into the box, do not hold onto it by worrying about it.
Instead, focus on all the wonderful things that are present in your life now.
If you find yourself stuck in traffic; don�t despair.
There are people in this world for which driving is an unheard of privilege.
Should you have a bad day at work;
Think of the man who has been out of work for years.
Should you despair over a relationship gone bad; Think of the person who has
never known what it�s like to love and be loved in return.
Should you grieve the passing of another weekend;
Think of the woman in dire straits,
Working twelve hours a day,
Seven days a week to feed her children.
Should your car break down, leaving you miles away from assistance;
Think of the paraplegic who would love the opportunity to take that walk.
Should you notice a new grey hair in the mirror;
Thinks of the cancer patient in chemo who wishes she had hair to examine.
Should you find yourself at a loss and pondering what is life all about,
Asking what is my purpose`? Be thankful.
There are those who didn�t live long enough to get the opportunity.
Should you find yourself the victim of other people�s bitterness,
Ignorance, smallness or insecurities; Remember, things could be worse.
You could be one of them!
Installing Love
Customer Service: Can you install Love?
Customer: I can do that. I�m not very technical, but I think I�m ready to install now. What do I do first?
Service: The first step is to open your Heart. Have you located your Heart?
Customer: Yes, I have, but there are several programs running right now. Is it okay to install while they are running?
Service: What programs are running?
Customer: Let me see� I have Pasthurt.exe, Lowesteem.exe, Grudge.exe and Resentment.com running right now.
Service: No problem. Love will automatically erase Pasthurt.exe from your current operating system. It may remain in your permanent memory, but it will no longer disrupt other programs. Love will eventually overwrite Lowesteem.exe whit a module of its own, called Highesteem.exe. However, you have to completely turn off Grudge.exe and Resentment.com. Those programs prevent Love from being properly installed.
Can you turn those off?
Customer: I don�t know how to turn them off. Can you tell me how?
Service: My pleasure. Go to your Start menuand invoke Forgiveness.exe. Do this as many times as necessary until Grudge.exe and Resentment.com have been completely erased.
Customer: Okay, I�m done. Love has started installing itself automatically. Is that normal?
Service: Yes it is. You should receive a message that says it will reinstall for the life of your Heart. Do you see that message?
Customer: Yes I do. Is it completely installed?
Service: Yes, but remember that you have only the base program. You need to begin connecting to other Hearts to get the upgrades.
Customer: Oops� I have an error message already. What should I do?
Service: What does the message say?
Customer: It says �Error 412 � Program not run on internal components.�
What does that mean?
Service: Don�t worry, that�s a common problem. It means that the Love program is set up to run on external Hearts but has not yet been running on your Heart. It is one of those complicated programming things, but in non-technical terms it means that you have to �love� your own machine before it can �love� others.
Customer: So what should I do?
Service: Can you find the directory called �Self-acceptance�?
Customer: Yes, I have it.
Service: Excellent, you are getting good at this.
Customer: Thank you.
Service: You�re welcome. Click on the following files and then copy them to the �Myheart� directory: Forgiveself.doc, Selfesteem.txt, Realizeworth.txt and Goodness.doc. The system will overwrite conflicting files and begin patching any faulty programming. Also, you need to delete �Selfcriticize.exe� from all directories, and then empty your recycle bin afterwards to make sure it is completely gone and never comes back.
Customer: Got it! Wow! My Heart is filling up with really neat files. Smile.mpg is playing on my monitor right now, and it shows that Warmth.com, Peace.exe and Contentment.com are copying themselves all over my Heart!
Service: Then Love is installed and running. You should be able to handle it from here. One more thing before I go�
Customer: Yes?
Service: Love is freeware. Be sure to give it and its various modules to everybody you are meeting. They will in turn share it with other people, and they will return some really neat modules back to you.
Customer: I will. Thank you for your help.
Service: You�re very welcome.
