In our lifes we may face many difficulties and we may think why this always happens with me .we may face failures also and may be depressed and may some times feel never to take so tasks but did u ever feel that we learn from our failures hom many of u are that optimistic and stop thinking that we are failed and start thinking how to overcome such hurdles . how many of u agree that only AFTER U SEE DARKNESS U APPRECIATE LIGHT.... do u want your life to be a BED OF ROSES....

I expect my Life to be a bed of roses, but only if I take action and PLANT THE ROSES MYSELF! I believe in the Absolute Power of taking Action and having the Resolve and WILL to do what I need to do, to get done what I need to get done... I certainly believe in the covalant powers of Light and Dark and place equal value and trust in both to guide me to my goals in a balanced and beneficial way. Failures, if any are used as "Grist for the Grindstone" and made to work for me... May it all be the same for you! :) Joy, Abundance, Peace and may Blessings abound for you and yours!

In the old days, a warrior would use a grindstone to sharpen his weopons and farmers would use one to keep his tools in fine shape and working order... Grist or sand was applied to the grindstone as an aid in sharpening the blade or tools... Grindstones today are used mainly for grinding wheat and corn for the making of artisan breads and such.
