Happiness is not what happens to us, but how we choose to respond to what happens.

Dear Children,

We make decisions with our head, And we make commitments with our heart. The choices we made yesterday have impacted our success today, while the choices we will make today will impact our success tomorrow. Happiness is not what happens to us, but how we choose to respond to what happens.

With Best Wishes, AMMA - NAANA

Excellence is a habit

Dear Children, GOOD AFTERNOON!

The secret of our success is found in our daily agenda!

There are 86,400 seconds in a day. It's up to us to decide what to do with them. Let us make each day our masterpiece. Excellence is not an act, but a habit.

With love, Amma-Naana

Embracing This Present Moment

1. It is only when we truly know and understand that we have a limited time on earth—and that we have no way of knowing when our time is up—that we will begin to live each day to the fullest, as if it was the only one we had.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2. This time, like all times, is a very good one if we but know what to do with it.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3. By taking good care of the present moment, we take good care of the future.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4. We can only be happy now, and there will never be a time when it is not now.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5. I like to remind my friends frequently how short life is. This is the important message of death: not a day to waste, not a day to quarrel, not a day to brood upon yourself. This is not losing the joy of life; this is gaining the joy of life.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
6. Don’t take yourself and your life so seriously, forgetting that life is meant to be a great adventure to be lived fully. When you become too serious, life loses its luster and you have a hard time being happy.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
7. Climb the mountains and get their good tidings. Nature's peace will flow into you as sunshine flows into trees. The winds will blow their own freshness into you, and the storms their energy, while cares will drop off like autumn leaves.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
8. Look at everything as though you were seeing it for the first time or the last time. Then your time on earth will be filled with glory.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
9. Don’t say you don’t have enough time. You have exactly the same number of hours per day that were given to Helen Keller, Pasteur, Michelangelo, Mother Teresa, Leonardo da Vinci, Thomas Jefferson, and Albert Einstein.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
10. Laughter is the lubricant and elixir of life. Being able to laugh at yourself and the everyday incongruities of your daily situation is the best way to quell stress. Lighten up and enjoy life!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
11. The secret of forgiveness is not to procrastinate, but to free yourself immediately of stress by totally forgiving this instant.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
12. Birds sing after a storm, why shouldn’t we?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
13. The secret of health for both mind and body is not to mourn for the past, not to worry about the future, not to anticipate troubles, but to live the present moment wisely and earnestly.


With Love, Amma-Nana
