Prosperity Doctor: Remembering Nelson Mandela Top 10 Quotes

Thank You Parade.com - Remembering Nelson Mandela: 10 Timeless Quotes


South African anti-apartheid icon Nelson Mandela, who spent 27 years in prison and became South Africa’s first black president, died Thursday at home 12/05/13. He was 95.
"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." ~ Nelson Mandela. 
"Our deepest sympathies and heartfelt condolences are with the Mandela Family and friends at this time. Let us stand together now and in the days ahead, and do what needs to be done to honour with dignity Tata Madiba. We know you share with many of us the same passionate wish to see Nelson Mandela’s legacy being kept alive and made available to the world. His legacy lives on in all of us – it is in our hands now."
~ Hamba kahle Madiba.

Nelson Mandela was born Rolihlahla Mandela into the Madiba clan in Mvezo, Transkei, on July 18, 1918 to Nonqaphi Nosekeni and Nkosi Mphakanyiswa Gadla Mandela, principal counselor to the Acting King of the Thembu people, Jongintaba Dalindyebo.

Nelson Mandela was the South African anti-apartheid revolutionary and politician. Mandela was also a philanthropist who served as the President of South Africa from 1994 to 1999.

"Nelson Mandela is now resting", said South African President Jacob Zuma. “He is now at peace. Our nation has lost his greatest son,” he continued. “Our people have lost their father.”

To celebrate the life of Nelson Mandela, the former South African president and political activist, here are Top 10 humanity quotes that embody the advice, wisdom and observations of a man who has devoted his life to the service of humanity.

1. “For to be free is not merely to cast off one’s chains, but to live in a way that respects and enhances the freedom of others.”

2. “I am fundamentally an optimist. Whether that comes from nature or nurture, I cannot say. Part of being optimistic is keeping one’s head pointed toward the sun, one’s feet moving forward. There were many dark moments when my faith in humanity was sorely tested, but I would not and could not give myself up to despair. That way lays defeat and death.”

3. “No one is born hating another person because of the color of his skin, or his background, or his religion. People must learn to hate, and if they can learn to hate, they can be taught to love, for love comes more naturally to the human heart than its opposite.”

4. “A leader. . .is like a shepherd. He stays behind the flock, letting the most nimble go out ahead, whereupon the others follow, not realizing that all along they are being directed from behind.”

5. “I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear.”

6. “There is no passion to be found playing small—in settling for a life that is less than the one you are capable of living.”

7. “If you want to make peace with your enemy, you have to work with your enemy. Then he becomes your partner.”

8. “There is no easy walk to freedom anywhere, and many of us will have to pass through the valley of the shadow of death again and again before we reach the mountaintop of our desires.”

9. “There is nothing like returning to a place that remains unchanged to find the ways in which you yourself have altered.”

10. “Overcoming poverty is not a task of charity, it is an act of justice. Like Slavery and Apartheid, poverty is not natural. It is man-made and it can be overcome and eradicated by the actions of human beings. Sometimes it falls on a generation to be great. YOU can be that great generation. Let your greatness blossom.”

Sending Blessings, Love and Light

The Prosperity Doctor: Food for Thought - The Real You - Alan Watts



Food for Thought: Everybody is "I". “I am” is pure consciousness and what each of us calls ourselves – “I”. In reflection and contemplation, in the very recesses of my soul abiding in my Heart I am awake, aware and alert. I perceive fact in the making, am conscious of the one Being from which all being spring. This is immoral self, Divine Consciousness. This is God. This is “I”.

I am, I always was, I always will be. All men, all things, all space, time and life reside here in the depths of my soul. Smaller than small, greater than great meet and unite within me. That which I thought “i” was: ego, personality, and identity - I never was at all. For it was a changing thing, mirroring the seasons and the tides - a thing to be born, and grow and die. I am not a thing of time or circumstance. I am consciousness, pure and eternal, birth-less, deathless, changeless, ageless and timeless.

Saquina Akanni is a label for this carbon unit: me- personality, myself - identity and "i"- ego mind. I reside within this container being me, while I am you and YOU are me simply having a different life experience.

The Dragon is the ultimate representation of power, the forces of Mother Nature and the greatest divine force on Earth.

The Chinese Dragon is often seen as the symbol of divine protection and vigilance. It is regarded as Supreme amongst all creatures. The Dragon has the ability fly up the heavens, to live on land, in the seas and coils in the form of mountains. Being a divine mythical animal, the Dragon can ward off evil spirits, protect the innocent and bestow safety to all that hold its emblem. It was worn by the emperor and high ranking officials.

Prosperity Doctor: Happy Chinese New Year - Year of the Water Snake

2013 is the Year of the Snake

The Chinese new year arrived on February 4, 2013 the first day of the Chinese Lunar New Year and Spring Festival. This is the largest and most important annual festival celebrated by Chinese and Chinese descendants around the world. The first day of Chinese New Year 2013 (Chun Jie / 春节 2013) will be celebrated on Sunday, 10 February 2013, and the festival will last for as long as 15 days, until Sunday, 24 February 2013. 

Chinese New Year 2013 is an annual official public holiday for many countries, including Singapore, Malaysia, Hong Kong, and Indonesia. The Spring Festival 2013 is among the longest public holidays in China, one of the Golden Week. Some countries refer to the Lunar New Year with their local name, such as Tet Nguyen Dan (Vietnamese New Year) in Vietnam, Korean New Year in South Korea, or Setsubun in Japan. Chinese New Year is the biggest annual event, where families gather for reunion dinners and friends visit each other. Each of the fifteen days from New Year's Day to the Lantern Festival has a particular activity associated with it. Most importantly, the first day of Chinese New Year is a time when families visit the oldest and most senior members of their extended family: parents, grandparents or great-grandparents. It is a time to honor living ancestors (spiritual as well as biological).


New Year's Day includes a Dragon Lion Dance. These dances are not only a form of entertainment, but an opportunity for the dancers (martial artists) who are performing the Dragons or Lions (often in two-person teams) to demonstrate their Kung Fu skills. The more elaborate the dances become, the greater the strength and flexibility and mental focus that is required. The dancers are given a gift in a red envelop (Hong Bao) offered in gratitude for their performance.

In the Chinese hierarchy of animals, dragons are considered the most sacred and are a symbol of the most auspicious power. Dragons have the power to bring life-sustaining wind and rain, however it may manifest in destructive was such as a hurricane. The legendary Yellow Emperor - Huang Di, is believed to have transformed into a dragon at the moment of becoming and immortal. For this reason, the Chinese sometimes refer to themselves as "the descendants of the dragon." In terms of Yin and Yang, the dragon is seen as the embodiment of yang or male energy. His yin/female counterpart is the Fenghuang - the Phoenix.  
*********

2013 is the Year of the Black Snake or Year of the Water Snake. According to Chinese philosophy when the dragon fell down from the sky it transformed into a snake. Therefore, the snake is also called a Little Dragon. Just like the Dragon, the snake doesn't like to be seen. Some see the snake as sly, quiet, lonely and humble animal. The snake does not attack other animal unless it's hungry. If we keep the distance from it, a snake avoids people and will not hurt people. The snake has the ability to swallow an animal bigger than its size. So we cannot underestimate snake...

In Chinese Five Element theory, Snake is in the Fire group. But it also contains Earth and Metal. When it meets Chicken and Cow, then the Snake brings up strong Metal characteristics. When it meets Horse and Sheep, then it will emphasize its Fire characteristics. 2013 is the year of Black Snake or Water Snake. Black is in color representing Water Element in the Five Elements: Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal and Water. That is why we also can say 2013 is a Water Snake year. Snake is considered as Fire Element and it's under Water in 2013. The Fire of Snake in the Water shouldn't bring too much trouble nor big fortunes to most of people. But Fire and Water will be the biggest factors to determine people's fortune in 2013...
