What counts in life is not the mere fact that we have lived.
It is what difference we have made to the lives of others
that will determine the significance of the life we
lead.

"For too long living in the society swimming in a sea of nothingness. For too long living in the island of
hopelessness. Thanks God for bringing you to my life. Our training was not a uke. It was not a uke (the)
many changes you brought to my life. Thank you very much.
Thank you for instilling positiveness in my life. Thank you for making me enjoy the rare gift of hope. Thank
you for letting me see that tomorrow will be better than today. Thank you for letting me see further than
one's nose and therefore further than todays problems and thus to see into the promise of the future.
South Africa, the land of crime, drugs, prostitution and corruption, these are the quickest ways to get
bucks. But thank you that you taught me the integrity, responsibility, and the choice not to engage in one of
those disastrous actions. Thank you for instilling a lion heart to venture into the opportunities that this
country has to offer with a loving kindness attitude.
I wish you could peer into my heart and read how happy I am for meeting you. Thank you very much for all
you have taught me.

Never forget
And never
forget, no matter how overwhelming life's challenges and
problems seem to be, that one person can make a difference in
the world.
In fact, it is
always because of one person that all the changes that matter in
the world come about.
one person.

7 Tips
to support your practice
of Mindfulness
When present in the Mind, these 5 Hindrances literally hinder the minds ability to focus, to pay
attention, to be aware, to see and know clearly, and to be happy!
If you look closely youll see that the past doesnt exist just now
So where, then, is the Past? What happened to it?
Uhhhmaybe its back there behind us isnt that where the Past is
supposed to be? Behind us?
OKturn around and look behind you.
What do you see?
You see whatever is behind you right Now! Not thePast
2004-2013 100Hours Foundation
If you look clearly, youll notice that the Past has actually completely disappeared, leaving only
amemorythat can be brought up.in the present moment. But the memory is just a record of the
past. Whatever actually happened then has passed awayleaving only the memory record in the
mind.
The Future has not yet arisen. The Future, too, exists only as thoughts and pictures in our mind.
But how much time do we spend thinking about, worrying about, or living in the Past or the
Future?
Can you do whatever is necessary to let go of the Past? Can you do what is needed to let go of
whatever happened in the Past; and to let go of whatever didnt happen (that you wanted to
happen) in the Past?
If you can do this, then you can be fully presentNowto your lifeand
you will have the space to create an extraordinary future.
your eyes
6.See if you
can be completely focused, and fully aware, of each and every sensation, from the
very beginning of the in-breath to the very sensation of the in-breath; and then,
focusing and being aware of each sensation from the very beginning of the outbreath to the very last sensation of the out-breath
7.When the
attention and awareness begin to wander, then notice and note where the
awareness has gone to: gone to thinking about something? Gone to a bodily
sensation, perhaps of some discomfort associated with sitting, gone to some
memory or images from the past, or to some thoughts about the future?
8.Wherever
the attention and awareness go, be aware of that; notice and note that, then gently
bring the awareness and attention back to sensations associated with the breath,
either at the nostrils or in the abdomen
