Life Is Not a Race (a Poem)

Have you ever watched kids
On a merry-go-round?

Or listened to the rain
Slapping on the ground?
Ever followed a butterfly’s erratic flight?
Or gazed at the sun into the fading night?

You better slow down.
Don’t dance so fast.
Time is short.
The music won’t last.

Do you run through each day
On the fly?
When you ask How are you?
Do you hear the reply?

When the day is done
Do you lie in your bed
With the next hundred chores
Running through your head?

You better slow down
Don’t dance so fast.
Time is short.
The music won’t last.

Ever told your child,
We’ll do it tomorrow?
And in your haste,
Not see his sorrow?

Ever lost touch,
Let a good friendship die
Cause you never had time
To call and say “hi”

You better slow down.
Don’t dance so fast.
Time is short.
The music won’t last.

Fun Motivational Game: What and Who?

Let me ask you a simple question…

If someone with big magical powers comes to you right now and tells you that you may wish for anything you want to have and become anyone you want to be, what and who will you choose?

Let me clear it up that you may choose ANYTHING – no matter how big or even impossible it sounds. And you don’t have to choose only one thing. You can have as many as you want.

It may sound impossible and unrealistic. But trust me that we’re going to get to a very important point. You’ll be happy that you took part in this game.

Come on! What do you want?

To have one million dollars?

To be a world-famous Rockstar?

To win a Gold medal in Olympics for your favorite sports?

To find a loving, wonderful wife/husband?

It can be anything.

Just decide on one or more things.

… And WHO (what type of person) do you want to be?

I’m waiting for you to think and answer. Please think deeply and then decide…

OK, now say it out loud!

Great! So these are your wishes.

So let me ask you a question…

  • Today I Smiled (a Poem)

    Today I smiled, and all at once
    Things didn’t look so bad
    Today I shared with someone else
    A bit of hope I had

    Today I sang a little song
    And felt my heart grow light
    And walked a happy little mile
    Without a cloud in sight

    Today I worked with what I had
    And longed for nothing more
    And what had seemed like only weeds
    Where flowers at my door

    Today I loved a little more
    And complained a little less
    And in the giving of myself
    I forgot my weariness

    - by B.J. Morbitzer

    It wasn’t a long poem, but its meaning is beautiful. You really can brighten your day just by wearing a nice smile on your face - like this: :D

    It reminds me of an interesting psychological test that proved it is not just that when you are happy, you automatically smile…

    But also when you smile, you automatically feel happy!

    It works like an amazing circle…

    So why wait until you are happy for another reason to smile? Simply smile and you are guaranteed to feel happy.

    Try it! I promise you’ll enjoy it. :)

    Have a great day full of smiles!

    Hello and Welcome - We Go Live!

    Hello and welcome to the Let’s Wow! Blog! :)

    My name is Ladan Lashkari, and it’s a pleasure to see you here. This is the first post here to say hi and also give you an overview of what this blog is going to be all about…

    Why Did I Start This Blog?

    I’ve been publishing another blog under my name, www.LadanLashkari.com for long time, but it was mostly business related about Internet marketing and online business, because that’s the business I am in.

    But then I felt the urge to talk about other things, like…

    • Deeper meanings in life - after all, life is not all about making money
    • How to really have a successful life
    • How to be happy and cheerful all the time
    • Tips and stories about love and kindness
    • My personal experiences and valuable lessons I learned about success and motivation
    • And so much more…

    If I wanted to share these in that blog, it would distract it from its original focus: business.

    So I decided to start this blog!

    And this blog is especially for YOU to help you find out unique tips and ideas to add more passion, fun, and success to your life.  :)

    I’m not going to be talking more about what kind of posts you’re going to find on this site. I leave it up to you to see by looking at the future posts.

    Hope you enjoy them!
