"The Best Revenge"

“The Best Revenge”

Unfinished,
As time goes on
(The business)
Will fade to black.
Heartbroken
(The Self) will mend.
Time still goes on, revenged or not~

Forgiveness,

The greatest key
To a heart
Broken in this

Reality,

Finally Free
Of chains that bind, a Release~

Love, kindness--
The best revenge.

Karma will
Be it's own fire,
Heaped upon
Their precious heads...

Moving forward- don't look back~

"Your Way To Success"

Success Begins In The Mind

To live at your full potential is to discover the power of your thoughts and words. Whether or not you are aware of it, a war is raging all around you, and the battle is for your mind. Your enemy's number one target is the arena of your thoughts. If he can control how you think, he'll be able to control your entire life. Indeed, thoughts determine actions, attitudes, and self-image. Really, thoughts determine destiny, which is why we are to guard our minds.

Almost like a magnet, we draw in what we constantly think about. If we dwell on depressing, negative thoughts, we will be depressed and negative. If we think positive, happy, joyful thoughts, our life will reflect that and attract other upbeat, positive people. Our life follows our thoughts.

And our thoughts also affect our emotions. We will feel exactly the way we think. You cannot expect to feel happy unless you think happy thoughts. Conversely, it's impossible to remain discouraged unless you first think discouraging thoughts. So much of success and failure in life begins in our minds.

Set your mind on the right course. Start every day by agreeing with the psalmist, "Today is the day the Lord has made, and I'm going to be happy. I'm going to go out and be productive. This is going to be a great day." Magnify your God, and go out each day expecting good things.
EVERY DAY, WHEN YOU FIRST GET UP, SET YOUR MIND FOR SUCCESS.

"Optimism"

Life and God are one and the same. You are God's child. God would never close all the doors around you. His unlimited love and compassion wouldn't allow Him to be that cruel. God always keeps more than one door open. They may look as if they were closed, but they have, in fact, been left slightly ajar.

Just a mild knock is enough and they'll give way. But our eyes are blinded by our ignorance. We fail to see the open doors through which the light of God's grace is pouring in.My child, never lose courage. Never lose your trust in God or in life. Always be optimistic, no matter what situations you find yourself in. It's very important to be optimistic. Pessimism is a form of darkness, a form of ignorance that prevents God's light from entering into your life.

Pessimism is like a curse, an illusory curse created by the illusory mind. Life is filled with God's light, but only by being optimistic will you experience that light.Look at the optimism of nature. Nothing can stop it. Every aspect of nature tirelessly contributes its share to life. The participation of a little bird, and animal, a tree, or a flower is always complete. No matter what the hardships, they continue to try, wholeheartedly.

Only humans are pessimistic, and this causes suffering.Amma knows it isn't easy to always be optimistic. You may ask, how is it possible to be optimistic in the face of the many hardships and sorrows in life? It is true that it's difficult--but by being pessimistic you move towards even greater despair and darkness. All your strength and clarity of mind gets dissipated, and in the darkness of pessimism you feel abandoned and isolated. Optimism is the light of God. It is a form of grace which allows you to be much more perceptive and to look at life with greater clarity.

"Attitude Is Your Tool To Success"

Attitude- Keep your thoughts positive, because your thoughts become your words. Keep your words positive, because your words become your behavior. Keep your behavior positive, because your behaviors become your habits. Keep your habits positive, because your habits become your values. Keep your values positive, because your values become your destiny. If we understood the power of our thoughts, we would guard them more closely. If we understood the awesome power of our words, we would prefer silence to almost anything negative.

Our attitude creates problems

Y o u r A t t i t u d e
I s Y o u r O w n
R e f l e c t i o n

Think of the little things over which we frequently quarrel about. A wife comes late from office or delays the evening tea and a tempest is created over the teapot. Quarrels over insignificant matters end up with the final solution of mutual divorce. This is reality.

Misunderstanding is often the result of ‘Attitude’. It affects relationships most. If we do not develop appropriate understanding, we invariably contaminate our vision about facts. Ego conditions our attitude and determines our consequent actions. We, therefore, need to give up our ego with true humility and that in turn enables us to respect another’s views.

While the whole world is craving for understanding it seems we are determined not to understand anything anyone says because of our ego. Communication without ego enables us to clear misunderstandings. We must be open and frank while talking and understanding enough while listening and filtering facts from feelings and opinions. A human being is basically an emotional creature but we forget this and expect cast-iron logic from others. We tend to forget that quality of our life is dependent on the quality of relations we make and maintain. Is it really difficult?

WE HUMANS live in an environment full of misunderstandings. We have hi-tech gadgets to communicate, but we fail miserably to get the other person to understand us or show some concern. Among uncivilized tribals or the illiterate rustics we find strong bonds of love and affection but amongst the so-called civilized gentry there is hypocrisy, jealousy, snobbery and cut-throat competition. These seem more prevalent than loving relationships. No two persons seem to understand each other well and as a result we suffer in domestic, social, official, national and international life. Most of our problems centre around misunderstanding.

"Women On The Lead"

The Strength of a Woman

I have question about the strength of a woman.

Is it possible for a woman to be too strong or independent?

What I'm asking is has women's equality, western culture, and today's society as a whole so radically and drastically altered the roles, that today's women play that some women have be come too independent? Not just in the bedroom and or relationships, but also in the boardroom, courtroom, the streets and life in general.

In many single parent homes, the woman has to be both Mother and Father and in doing so the woman has to incorporate many attributes normally associated with a man (provider and protector) and she also has become tougher, stronger, and more self reliant.

I can empathize with the plight of single women who need to be somewhat independent just to make it in life. There's certainly nothing wrong with having a job, paying your bills, and maintaining what you own. It just seems for a lot of the single women that I know, that the desire for independence has subtly choked out their ability for a healthy traditional relationship.

Most men don't want to feel like an "optional accessory" in a busy woman's life. Men need to feel needed, just like women need to feel cherished.

Most single women have a history of supporting themselves, holding down a job (if not two), possibly raising children, attending school, taking care of household bills and helping out with other family responsibilities involving parents, grandparents and siblings in many cases they have handled these responsibilities without a strong or consistent male influence in their lives.

Through miscommunication, death, neglect or abuse, many father-daughter, sister-brother, boyfriend-girlfriend relationships have gone astray, oftentimes leaving women to form a support network among themselves in order to get things done.

Have women become so entrenched in these non traditional roles that they can no longer be submissive enough to enjoy a relationship with a Dominate male and allow a man to play his traditional role in the relationship?

How many women are tired of having to be the STRONG one?

Does today's woman want a man that can take care of her? Is it a sign of weakness to admit that?

Have these role changes caused you problems in your love life? If so how?
~ A QUESTION FOR THE MEN ONLY ~

What role if any do you feel that men have played in creating this phenomenon?

Dream To Live

Dream To Live Because Dreams Is Our Road To Success ...

What actually is a dream? Is it important? Do they have impact on one's life? What would be a life without dreams?

Dreams are nothing but one's expectations, innovations and also believed to be the means in which we communicate with the Almighty. Life without dreams is same as a body without the soul. Dreams play a vital role in one's life. You ask me how?

1. Dreams as expectations:

Consider a small boy of 7 yrs, he dreams to become the first in the class. So, he works very hard and excels and proves to be the first in the class. If haden't he dreamt, would he achieve, would he gather courage and strength to continue his work to become the best.

2. Dream as innovation:

If there wasn't dream, we'd be still in the stone-age!!! Everything we use today, was some day, in the past one's innovation which had occured through his dream.

3. Dream to communicate with Almighty:

All of us are sent to earth with a purpose. Almighty, comes in dreams and guides us. If we've forgotten something or deviate from the Almighty, then He comes and puts you back on track.

Dreams play a vital role in one's life. Its in our hands not to let go off our dreams but make them in our reality. That's where the beauty of the game lies. If dreams are not realised, then their purpose is not served. Hence dream and not just that, make them your reality.

Think!!!Deside!!!Share!!!

Enligthen your self and enligthen others

Expectations

There are a lot of people who are depressed to think in deep about results their good work,secred emotions,sacrifices and belongingness for their friends, nearest and the dearest.

If, we ask the reason, they just express the reason as 'Not reciprocation of thier expected response in the same manner they want to OR a good result. Are they correct? Are they thinking in a right way?

I think, they are not,cause all are not of the same nature what u are OR what you expect from the world.

In my opinion, this is not a matter to worry. Why should worry, if u done a good thing to the persons u love? This is not a mistake on your part that you shower your best to him.

Just think, Your expertise in driving does not guarantee you to escape from any accident on the road, since it is not sure that the driver opposite u is also an expert.

And the same thing applied on every person.So, you are the only person can control yourself but not to others.You have to control or advise your mind to accept the advise of comes from your soul because relation and feelings are made by your heart and let the heart to decide.

Keep your mind away from the decision in such soft matters.Your soul will show you the right way to act.Brain may distort the justice.

Do not let your mind to any clash or disappointment.

Let you think your own way in a good manner and thats all. What u get in return is depends on the healthy thoughts of the others. You need not to worry for the mistakes u did not make.

Let it be rest on the God who is the natural and real Judge to decide the good and bad. Among your friends also there may be some misunderstandings some time.

You have to evaluate the past,where there may be some mistakes or mis-happenings between him and you.Try to resolve the matter at your own keeping safe your self- esteem and listen what your soul asks you.

However, if you find no positive results and even after your deep evaluation you did not find any known mistakes,u need not to worry. Just forget the matter and leave the result on God and Nature.

iF U ARE ON A RIGHT PATH ,CERTAINLY U WILL GET JUSTICE IN FUTURE and IN YOUR FAVOUR too.

In India,Shrimadbhagvad Geeta contains the holy saying of Lord Krishna that why should u worry.The all thing is well planned and goes in a manner what has been decided by God.You need concentrate on work only and forget about the results.

So, don't worrry for the results let it be rest upon me(The God).I will see what is ok and what is not.

I, strongly have the same opinion,however this is very much difficult for a human being but, one must be think it easy.Be easy.

Time will pour all the wounds and if you find a way closed, it means that u have a new path open there for you and you will find this path a shinning one.

Concluding myself i would like to submit further that the nature has every quality.caliber and more than sufficient capacity to create and provide a new world for you-Just explore it. It has every power to give u relief and you need to feel it.

Hope,this will serve the purpose for those who in need of some guidance since, it depends on the experiences faced by me in the life.

Are you losing hope

Are You Losing Hope, Discouraged or Sick & Tired of Facing Life's Problems?

The joy of life comes from the wisdom of counting your blessings, never your troubles. Focus on what you have and maintain a thankful heart.

If you are facing any trouble, don't ask God, why me? Instead, ask "what do You want me to learn?". Then trust God and keep on doing what is right. Don't give up, just grow up!

Thoughts on Life: Be thankful that you don't already have everythingyou desire. If you did, what would there be to look forward to? Be thankful for the difficult times because during those times, you grow. Be thankful for your limitations coz they give you a chance to become better. May you always have a day filled with gratitude.

Life is a matter of perspective, either you complain because roses have thorns or you rejoice because thorns have roses. It all depends on how you look at it.

Sometimes God breaks our spirit to save our soul. Sometimes He break sour heart to make us whole. Sometime He sends us pain so we can bestrong. Sometimes He sends us failure so we can be humble.

Sometimes He send us illness so we can take better care of ourselves. Sometimes He takes everything away from us so we can learn the value of everything we have.

Look at the babies sleeping, it makes us realize how fragile life is. Look at the shooting star blazing, it makes us realize how temporarylife is. Look at the sun rising, it makes us realize how beautiful life is. Look at a person dying, it makes us realize how important life is.

Life is beautiful in its fragility, important on itstranscience. Live life to the fullest. Laugh, love and be grateful.

If you have food, clothing and a home, you are richer than the 75% ofthe world's population. If you have some money in the bank, you ar ebeing among the top 8% of the world's wealthy.

If you wake up healthy this morning, you are more blessed than the 1 Million people who will not survive this week.

If you have exprience peace and freedom, you are ahead of the 500 Million people in the world. And if you can read these messages, you are more blessed than the 1 Billion people who cannot even read at all.

Like birds, let's leave behind what we don't need to carry - grudges,sadness, pain, fear and regrets. Fly light, life is beautiful. Have a blessed day.

Whenever you don't understand what's happening in your life, you just have to close your eyes, take a deep breath and say "Lord I know it'sYour plan, I put my trust in Your hands".

Has life been good? Let God hear your "Thank you". Has it been bad? Let Him hear you say "I trust in You". Has it been unfair? Shhhh....just have Faith.

Always remember the 5 simple rules to be happy 1-Free your heart from anger, 2-Free your mind from worries, 3-Live simply, 4-Give more, and5-Expect less

3 reasons why laughing is good for your health: 1-Your Heart - laughingmakes your blood pressure good while increasing the amount of oxygencarried in your blood. 2-Your lungs - a deep level - laughing lowers level of the stress hormones,cortisol-reducing tension.

"It's A Beautiful Life,Appreciate Small Things"

Allow Good Things Into Your Life

Everyone gets off track from time to time – it’s normal and a consequence of living in a complex, stressful world. Attract abundance and maintain a good mental equivalent by raising your vibration. Raising your vibration means giving loving attention, or energy, to what you want. We get faster results by attuning to an idea of what we want and then allowing it to come into our lives, because we are already in a state of thankfulness that it is here.

That is another reason we write affirmations in the present moment: there really isn’t any other time in our lives that is important. Live in the now, thank in the now, love in the now, and allow prosperity to happen in the now, knowing it is already present. When we concentrate on the effects of the world, rather than our supply, we lower our vibrational quality, making it much harder to demonstrate what we want.

You’ve heard the concept of alignment and finding “center” from many spiritual teachers, achieved by chanting, prayer, meditation, chakra balancing, even martial arts or exercise. Those activities help raise your vibrational quality by helping you to identify or resonate with the true self, so that goodness can manifest. Essentially, you are attuning to your God-force. That is why in affirmations, we focus on the “I am” within us and align our vibrational quality with that of our God/Goddess energy.

We do a pretty job of cultivating our own negative programming and often bring to the table a lot of negative assumptions about money and abundance that lower our vibration. You might recognize these.

It was never meant for me to have money.

I’m poor but clean (or good, pure, happy, content).

If I want to lead a spiritual life and be closer to God, it means I must have to give everything up.

I’ll be like Christ (or Buddha, Rumi, Mohammed, Mother Teresa) because not having any material wealth means I am purer (or righteous, religious, going to get a better afterlife).

You can live a pure life only without material items.

I don’t want to learn about how money works – I’ll just let ______________do it.

I just want to spend money.

I only care about large sums of money. Why should I pick up a penny off the sidewalk?

It’s not worth my time, so I’ll just do a mediocre (or lousy) job. This shows overall disrespect for your true supply when it’s giving you an opportunity. Choose not to do the job instead!

Prosperity means I have to take something away from someone else.

I can’t enjoy wealth because I feel guilty.

I will never be able to afford that.You are building a “can’t afford” consciousness. You will bring more events and things into your life that you cannot afford.

I can’t imagine having a million dollars – I wouldn’t know what to do with it.

If I had a million dollars, I’d give it all away.

If I become wealthy, why should I be generous? I struggled so long, I’m going to let everyone else know how it feels not to have anything.

People who have money are wealthy snobs.

Being rich is selfish. You can have too much money.

Rich people consume all the world’s natural resources. I love the earth too much to be rich.

Money represents temptation and evil.

I don’t deserve what I really want.

I don’t want this deal not to work out. If you’re constantly worried about lack, you’ll attract it.

I just want to be rich.This one is particularly self-defeating, because you’ll spend your energy on getting the money without any focus on how to do it.

You won’t be able to demonstrate the law of being with this type of mental muck. Start affirming that you are a prosperity magnet because you possess the boundless wealth of the universe without exception. Spend time raising your vibration. Say that you attract all good things today, not tomorrow or next week. Love yourself, praise your abilities in the present moment, and build feelings of confidence.

I am a prosperous, intelligent, capable individual who can do anything.

I deserve health, wealth, love, and happiness in my life. I thank the universe for my opportunities.

I pay my bills with love and joy… Come on, you can do this one!

…I love that I have the ability to pay this bill, and I rejoice in the goods and services I have received as a result of this bill.

I see the abundance in the universe everywhere I go. I see it in myself.

I am a loving individual, who is part of unlimited creation; therefore, I am unlimited in what I can do.

I am my divine self and I choose to demonstrate my highest good. I prosper everywhere I go because I love life.

I am an open channel to receive my abundance from the universe. I am open to new opportunities.

Remain open to the possibility that the universe is infinitely more creative than you in choosing the channel for abundance to flow through. If you outline exactly how you want to receive your good, you are definitely giving the idea some clarity. But be flexible. Devising a mental equivalent to own the winning lottery ticket might be a way to manifest abundance, but you are limiting the avenues by which good can come to you.

Likewise, it’s great to visualize opening the front door to discover a huge basketful of money, but it is more likely that the universe will present prosperity through people and opportunities. Be attentive and keep your options open.

Maintain high vibrational quality by practicing verbal harmlessness. Always extend loving thoughts to those around us. What you see in others is what you will see in yourself, and you’ll reproduce that vibration in your immediate environment. You are attracting that which you are, or think you are.

If you are attuning to the highest vision of your true self, how can you go wrong? There are also two words you need to eradicate from your vocabulary: hate and try. Hate, because you can’t have hate as part of your mindset even if you are talking about the corned beef sandwich you had for lunch.

Try, because if you say you will try something, it implies that you aren’t going to do it now, only sometime in the future. Learn to set a mental equivalent of gentleness and generosity and act with poise, grace, loving-kindness, ease, and serenity.

You’ll be surprised how little practice you will need until you permanently internalize those peaceful qualities within and find others possessing those qualities who are part of your everyday experience. Practicing verbal harmlessness also applies to what you say about you.

Nothing lowers your vibration quicker than self-criticism. Whatever you say about yourself applies to everyone because we’re the same soul substance – and what you see in a mirror is what you will see in every person in your life. If I say I am weak, poor, or broke,

I am saying you are too, because we are the same substance. Further, if I say I am stupid, I have just called the Divine stupid – not empowered thinking! By putting yourself down, you are conditioning your mind to believe it, which means you are focusing on lack in yourself. How can the infinite self lack? Become conscious of the spirit within you as your infinite supply.

Know that you are composed of perfect soul material. Keep your affirmations in the present tense, be positive, stop using hate and try, stop self-criticism, and know that you are already wonderfully rich.

"Things You Can Do to Boost Emotional Energy"

4 Simple Things You Can Do to Boost Emotional Energy

Feeling drained? Surprisingly, it might be your spirit -- and not your body -- that needs a jolt. "Just as physical energy comes from diet, exercise and rest, emotional energy comes from the ways you take care of yourself emotionally -- living in a way that makes you feel inspired, hopeful, self-confident, playful, loving and in touch with what you care about most," says Mira Kirshenbaum, author of The Emotional Energy Factor:

The Secrets High-Energy People Use to Beat Emotional Fatigue. Letting others walk all over you or failing to do things that make you happy zaps your emotional energy -- and can leave you feeling unmotivated and even physically tired. To avoid such weariness, here are Kirshenbaum's four tips for boosting your emotional energy:

1. Stop living to please other people. In other words, marry the charming social worker whom you love instead of the rich doctor mom is pushing on you. Move to Europe if it will make you happy, even if your girlfriends are making you feel guilty about putting distance between you. Say no when someone asks you to do something you really don't want to do. Be who you want to be, do what you want to do and the rewards will be plentiful, says Kirshenbaum. "When you live your life for other people, you put out the effort, but they get the benefit," she adds. "This creates an energy drain, just the way it would if you did the work on a job and someone else got the paycheck." You'll free up energy you didn't even know you had once you quit worrying about what mom, your friends and other family members think about your decisions.

2. Bring positive people into your world. You need to surround yourself with people who care about and support you even in your darkest hours. Avoid those who nag, complain or involve you in their problems, says Kirshenbaum. Toxic people, who put you down to lift their own spirits, suck the life right out of you. Spending more time with those who make you feel good about yourself or inspire you in some way will revive you. Maybe it's time to start ignoring your so-called friend who leaves messages on your machine only when she needs help with something.

3. Always have something big and new on your agenda. Plan that next vacation or start writing that novel you have in your head. Looking forward to milestones and events stimulates people. It gives you a reason to get out of bed in the morning, and that increases your desire to work toward your goals. "You gain energy from the hopes you have for your future? making your present feel more manageable, and that, too, frees up emotional energy," says Kirshenbaum. Actually putting the wheels in motion (for example, calling the travel agent, writing the outline for the book) will also make you feel better -- and excited to keep it up.

4. Never live in the past. Quit dwelling on what might have happened with that old boyfriend if you had just stayed together, why you quit one job in favor of another, what would have been if you made different decisions. Instead, focus on the here and now and what you need to do to move forward. Do you want to go back to school? Find a husband? Change careers? Be more adventurous? Put the spark back in your romance? "You are in charge of the meaning in your life," Kirshenbaum writes in her book. Although you can't predict everything that will happen to you, you can make a flexible plan to accomplish your goals. Things like your career path, relationships in which you'd like to invest and how you would like to spend your free time are all under your control. You can decide your own destiny, an important task that will be much easier now that you have more energy.

"How To Stay Track During Stressful Days?"

5 Ways to Stay on Track

When stress and anxiety threaten to take energy away from what truly matters, ask yourself these five questions.

The one who asks questions doesn't lose his way.--African proverb

One of the most basic but difficult things when trying to grow is simply to keep yourself on the right track, to make sure your mind doesn't take a wrong turn. However, in day-to-day life your ambitions and dreams may be forgotten among all your responsibilities and old habits. One thing that's been useful for me is to continually ask myself questions in various situations throughout my week. By asking yourself helpful questions you'll get helpful answers.


Here are five of my favorite questions. Adding these – or your own favorites – to external reminders such as a bracelet or posted notes can be very useful when your mind is headed down a slippery slope of negativity.

Take a summer stroll and connect with God

1. Is this useful?

This is a good way to weed out thought habits that may not be so useful. Your mind may, for instance, fool you into believing that it's the right thing to go around being angry at someone because, well, you're right. Or that it's right to dwell on a problem because you had such bad luck.Both thought patterns are quite seductive because they can fool you into believing that you are doing the "right" or "normal" thing. But are such thoughts useful to you? Probably not. They'll just create suffering in your life, waste your time and do little to solve a practical situation. By asking if something is useful you can stop yourself while heading down a negative path and turn toward the light again.

2. What's good about this situation?

Often you'll find a lesson within a negative experience or a way to reframe the situation and create some positivity and enthusiasm within yourself.Asking yourself this question may seem silly at first. You may not find anything positive or good initially. But after you've started to ask yourself the question more and more, you'll probably find something to learn from the situation.And the more positive and good things you can find in experiences, the more your mind starts to accept that you can indeed find something good in just about any situation. You just have to get used to thinking about things in this new and unfamiliar way.

3. How can I give value in this situation?

This is a good way to improve your relationships and interactions. Here are reasons to give value in your everyday life:

It makes you feel good.
You tend to get what you give.
It makes your life a whole lot more fun.

It makes it easier to start new relationships.What value can you give in a situation/to another person? Well, a few suggestions would be: bringing a positive attitude, lending a listening ear, cheering someone up, offering useful advice, or creating fun or excitement for people in your life.By asking yourself this question, you can add more value to other people's lives--and yours.

4. Am I taking this too seriously?

This is a wonderful question to ask yourself to lower stress levels and be able to feel better and perform better in a situation where you have created a lot of internal pressure on yourself. It takes much of the self-imposed seriousness and weight off on your shoulders. It makes life lighter.

5. Will this matter five years from now?

This question can really put things in perspective. It can make just about any difficulty that you are having right now seem a bit trivial and not as important and heavy as you had imagined over the last few days, weeks, or months. You may discover that you've expanded and made the problem a lot more terrifying than it actually is.Asking yourself a combination of these questions may help you to put just about anything in your life into a more healthy and relaxed perspective.

"Possibility Is Limitless"

Impossible is Just a Word

Everyone,at some point of his or her life, has dreamed of being somebody special, somebody big. Who hasn't fantasized about being the one whohits the game-winning homer? Who hasn't dreamed of being the homecomingqueen? And how many times have we dreamed of being rich, or successful,or happy with our relationships?Often, we dream big dreams andhave great aspirations. Unfortunately, our dreams remain just that –dreams.

And our aspirations easily collect dust in our attic.This is a sad turn of events in our life. Instead of experiencing exciting adventures in self actualization, we get caught up in the humdrum of living from day-to-day just barely existing.But you know what? Life could be so much better, if only we learned to aim higher.The most common problem to setting goals is the word impossible. Most people get hung up thinking I can't do this. It's too hard. It's too impossible. No one can do this.However, if everyone thought that, there would be no inventions, no innovations, and no breakthroughs in human accomplishment.

Remember that scientists were baffled when they took a look at the humblebumblebee.


Theoretically, they said, it was impossible for the bumblebee to fly. Unfortunately for the bumble bee no one has told it so. So fly it does.On the other hand, some people suffer from dreaming totally outrageous dreams and not acting on them. The result?Broken dreams, and tattered aspirations. If you limit yourself with self-doubt, and self-limiting assumptions, you will never be able to break past what you deem impossible.

If you reach too far out into the sky without working towards your goal, you will find on to the impossible dream.Try this exercise. Take a piece of paper and write down some goals in your life. Under one header, list down things ‘you know you can do’. Under another header,write the things ‘you might be able to do.’ And under one more, listthe things that that are ‘impossible for you to do.’Now look atall the headers strive every day to accomplish the goals that are underthings ‘you know you can do’. Check them when you are able to accomplish them.

As you slowly are able to check all of your goals under that heading, try accomplishing the goals under the other header-the one that reads ‘you might be able to do.’As of the items you wrote under things I could do are accomplished, you can move the goals that are under things that are ‘impossible for you to do’ tothe list of things ‘you might be able to do.’As you iterate through this process, you will find out that the goals you thought were impossible become easier to accomplish. And the impossible begin to seem possible after all.You see, the technique here is not to limit your imagination. It is to aim high, and start working towards that goal little by little.

However, it also is unwise to set a goal that is truly unrealistic. Those who just dream towards a goal without working hard end up disappointed and disillusioned.On the other hand, if you told someone a hundred years ago that it was possible for man to be on the moon, they would laugh at you. If you had told them that you could send mail from here to the other side of the world in a few seconds, they would say you were out of your mind.

But,through sheer desire and perseverance, these impossible dreams are now realities.Thomas Edison once said that genius is 1% inspirationand 99% perspiration. Nothing could be truer. For one to accomplish his or her dreams, there has to be had work and discipline. But take note that that 1% has to be a think-big dream, and not some easily accomplished one.

Ask any gym rat and he or she will tell youthat there can be no gains unless you are put out of your comfort zone.Remember the saying, “No pain, no gain”? That is as true as it can be.So dream on, friend! Don’t get caught up with your perceived limitations.Think big and work hard to attain those dreams. As you step up the ladder of progress, you will just about find out that the impossible has just become a little bit more possible.

"Thoughts Are Very Powerful"

Strength Of The Mind

There is a Universal Law that states "Where thoughts go energyflows". We are often bombarded with negativity, and we tend to engage in negative thought patterns more often than we realize. Many are an aware of the power of the mind. Our ability to mold and shape our destiny lies within the power of our thoughts.Does this mean directing our thoughts will make our lives simple al lthe time and that nothing "bad" will ever happen? Of course not.

Life will always have its little pitfalls, but through controlling and directing the energy we put out, we make our lives easier. With this effort, our minds become clearer enabling us to remain focused on that which truly matters.Remember also, that like attracts like. If your thoughts are mostly negative,most of what you receive and perceive will be negative as well.

Today's Exercise:Today be mindful of your thoughts. Seemingly random thoughts can hold a lot of power. Make an effort to direct your thoughts in a positive manner in order to restore balance.At the end of the day note anything you learned through being more observant of your thoughts. What were the proportions of negative to positive?How often did you catch yourself in negative self-talk? etc.. What you observe today may surprise you!

"Success In Life"

Why some people cannot succeed




The measurement of success depends on the individual. It doesn't have to be owning a mansion on a hill or a multi-million dollar empire. Success can be found in the person who is kind and helps those less fortunate, a mentor to children or a great parent. Unfortunately, some don't have a clear definition and deem themselves a failure in comparison to other's success.

People who succeed have a positive mind-set and a purpose to fulfill their goals and meet their dreams with passion. They don't impose stumbling blocks onto themselves. They live life as if they have already succeeded. To quote Lao Tzu - "A journey of a thousand miles, begins with a single step." Successful people take this first step!

False labels

One cannot succeed if their worst enemy is the one reflected in a mirror. Those who do not succeed, often label themselves as a failure, thus hindering their path. For some, the ground work for failure may have been laid early in life. They may not have experienced an upbringing that offered support and encouragement - one that nurtured the development of a positive self-image that says, "you can do it". This baggage from the past may be carried so heavily, the mind-set for success is distorted.

Negative attitude

If a positive attitude and a nurturing thought process are lacking, an individual may undermine their own strength, weakening any motivation to move ahead. Their fear of what others think can build a wall so high they cannot climb beyond the rut they are in. People who are stagnant, often don't analyze why they are in the same place they were years ago. In order for things to change, you have to make changes.

Distorted focus

People tend to spend more time focusing on problems than they do the solution. Focusing on the problem enhances it more and puts a gap between you and the solution. Keeping record of what is perceived to be failures is destructive. Small successes count and offer the confidence to succeed even more.

Lack of patience and perseverance

Instant gratification rarely gets us anywhere. The road to success may be slow, but it takes patience and perseverance to get there. Potential cannot be fulfilled if we give up. Patience is power, allowing us to discern our path with wisdom and armors us against hasty endeavors that may backfire. Perseverance keeps us on a steady course.

Procrastination

Thoughts are pretty, but without action, you won't get very far. Procrastinators sabotage themselves, often feeding themselves lies or are afraid to make decisions. They are their worst critic and instead of taking a step forward, they'll make a thousand excuses why they can't.
People "can" succeed. Passion is the driving force behind dreams. When we stop dreaming, we stop believing. When we stop believing, we stop living. It's never too late to light the flame of passion and take that first step on a journey to success. The only failure is not trying. Define your success. Look at the world and yourself with new eyes and bring to life, the vision.

"Why Some People Don't Succeed In Life"

6 Dangerous Reasons People Do Not Set Goals and Never Succeed

oal setting is the framework for personal achievement. It is the backbone of becoming a person you desire to be. Setting and achieving personal goals will guarantee you success. Most people who do set goals have little to no understanding of goal setting and as a result fail to achieve them and never succeed. You would think that if goal setting was the ultimate skill and secret to success that everyone would develop their own personal goals and learn to achieve them. Unfortunately, the world is not that perfect. There are six dangerous reasons people do not set and achieve their goals which act like a road block to their success.

There are several reasons why people do not set goals similarly to why people do not care about communicating effectively. I know with absolute certainty that everyone will experience a more successful and far enjoyable life if they learned to communicate effectively. Arguably the greatest modern day personal development Coach, Anthony Robbins said, “The way we communicate with others and with ourselves ultimately determines the quality of our lives.” Effective communication determines the quality of your life with others while self development determines the quality of your inner life.

The first reason I believe why people do not set goals is they do not see its importance.Like people who do not develop their communication and other aspects of themselves, they do not see the importance of setting goals. I have met people who are unbelievably resistant to developing their communication. They have actually found it insulting to think they need to improve how they communicate! Every single person on the face of this Earth can always communicate more effectively and have their life improve as a result. Likewise, with goals there are people who do not see the importance of setting personal goals.

Goal setting forms the foundations for personal achievement and it is of the utmost importance.The second reason why people do not set goals is a fear of others caused from criticism. People criticize because they see faults in others or are brainwashed by society and other beliefs into thinking greatness cannot be achieved. They criticize to hold people back from achieving goals. Average people do not want others to go beyond average. A person can fear setting goals because each time they have set goals in the past, others have criticized and shot down their dreams.

Others impose their own self-limiting beliefs through criticism instilling fear within the person. Think of receiving criticism as a poisonous needle injected into your body. It slowly controls and destroys what you want. The destructive thought of fear controls the person from achieving anything remarkable. Put bluntly, screw what people think. Screw allowing people to destroy your life with their beliefs. Society is filled with endless garbage to prevent you from achieving your goals. If you want something, go and get it by setting and achieving personal goals.

The third reason why people do not set goals is a fear of failure.They can think success is derived from not failing. The opposite is true. Success comes from failing a lot and failing fast. Famous inventor Thomas Edison said, “I haven’t failed. I’ve just found 10,000 ways that won’t work.” Being an inventor, Thomas understand failure was apart of success. Failure was the nuts and bolts that constructed his success. Understand that failure occurs and it shows you are taking action. Learn from failure and enjoy knowing you are moving towards your goals instead of fearing to set out after them in the first place.

The fourth reason why people do not set goals is a fear success.People who fear success believe it is bad. The fear is common in wealth and wanting an attractive partner because negative results will occur. They believe wealth is evil or a certain type of partner is unfaithful. The fear prevents them achieving what they want by not laying the foundations of their desire with goal setting.

The fifth reason why people do not set goals is they do not know how. This reason relates to fear of failure where the person has set goals in the past, but has not achieved them and becomes discouraged from the failure. These people become disheartened from the failure and think failure is imminent. They do not learn from past mistakes and move towards personal growth. The classic example of this is losing weight as a new year’s resolution. A mere temporary motivation inspires the person who is lucky to lose weight in January but no further progression towards achieving the goal occurs in later months.

If you do not set and start working towards a goal now, what makes you think you will be able to achieve it as a new year’s resolution? There are techniques such as SMART goal setting which I have written about but are not covered in this article. Using SMART goals enables you to set and achieve goals then merely wishing a result based on temporary motivation too common around the new years period.The sixth reason why people do not set goals is they lack the inner desire to want something greater then what they currently have.For them, the ordinary or even sub-ordinary is sufficient. These people do not believe they can reach or deserve success because society has conditioned them into thinking they are ordinary people and therefore must do ordinary things. It can also be caused by failure, criticism, and other reasons as to why people do not set goals.

Did you find yourself relating to one of these six dangerous reasons people do not set goals and as a result never succeed? Do not fret too much because you are now more self-aware and able to doing something about. All that is required for you to do is learn how to set achievable goals. I personally advise people to follow the SMART goal setting technique because its congruency with successful goal setting is spot on. You set specific, measurable, attainable, realistic, and tangible goals leading to your success. Master this skill and you will have the most powerful personal development technique in your grasp to achieve success.

"Mind Setting will bring positive changes in your life"

Truly you have to keep a positive mind set. This can make a difference in your day. You may have several good days say in sales and then there comes a day where you seem to be making very little or nothing. You can choose to let that stop you or you can know that this was just one day and get back to it tomorrow. Things aren't always as bad as they seem if you have long term vision. Success comes to those who know what they want and keep working towards it now matter what happens. I'm getting better at what I do, not because I'm good, because I'm really not that good. But my success is growing because I have not given up and I know where I want to be. You must see your self where you want to be. Long term vision will help to keep you on track. Your mind set will get stronger as you keep these things in mind. The day will come that when you wake up, you will expect to win! Mind Set!

"Law of Attraction"

The Power of Concentration

The man who has daily inured himself to habits of concentrated attention, energetic volition and self-denial in unnecessary things will stand like a tower when everything rocks around him and when his softer fellow-mortals are winnowed like chaff in the blast.

William James

Concentration on your Higher Self (the soul within) will encourage detachment and detachment will lead to power.

Everything in creation (as we understand it) is influenced by the law of magnetism. The law of magnetism teaches us that whatever we concentrate upon, we draw to ourselves. If we focus on goodness, our life can be a garden of happiness; if we concentrate on wealth, we will draw wealth to ourselves.

Success in life presupposes the power of concentration. Just as a magnet draws to itself iron filings and no trice grains, so too, the quality of our focused thoughts will create a dynamic but silent power within that will find us placed in situations akin to the nature of our thoughts. If we think ' good health ' and with faith and belief embed this deeply within our minds over a sustained period of time, we will gradually create for ourselves situations and an environment, which will be conducive to good health .Yet as we understand the workings of this power , it is essential that we not misuse power and that we be more involved in purifying our desires so that all that we seek only be bathed in the hue of wisdom and righteousness. Before we choose we always have an option, but once chosen, each action will bring forth a concomitant reaction.

Each of us is born with a certain degree of latent developed concentration,but the more we are aware of the existence of this power, and the more we seek to consciously use it, the more will we actually develop it.Men of success are men of concentration. Nothing of essence in life is achieved without concentration.

Be it in prayer, business, sport, art, or healing,concentration is the real key which helps one harness one's inner divine potential. Concentration aids you in drawing more of the life energy into your physical self and thereby raising your level of existence to higher layers of awareness. As you spiritualize your conciousness through Guru-channeled techniques of concentration, your energy pattern becomes more vibrant and pure, ushering all round tranquility and calmness into the temple of your mind.

With good concentration one can fulfill a task in virtually half the time and with double the accuracy of an average person. Paramahansa Yogananda said that we should do our interesting and enjoyable duties with all our heart and the uninteresting ones with our deepest attention.

As we concentrate with will power on the task at hand, we learn to shut out unnecessary disturbing thoughts, doing nothing haphazardly. The mind thereby attains the ability to be one-pointed.The greatest power, remember always, is lodged in the fine, never in the coarse.

When one is able to lift a heavy object with muscles flexing, we appreciate the physical strength and the look and feel of the muscular part, but we must remind ourselves that the power to lift comes not from the muscles but from the life energy within, which in turn is drawn by the power of will and concentration. The greater the will and the more focused one's thoughts, the greater will be the inflow of the life force.

Each thought that we think forms a pattern in our brain cell grooves. These patterns then determine what our future patterns of existence will be. If we wish to change the nature of the existent (past) patterns or if we seek to create desired patterns (circumstances) it is vital to understand the workings of the science of concentration. Though any sincere practice in concentration may seem arduous and boring at the outset, after some time, internal interest is definitely developed.

The platitude before the flowering is only natural as new forms of mental thought seek to erase typical thought habits of the past. Evil and harmful habits are what we have gifted ourselves through concentrating repeatedly on the wrong thought patterns and now if we are to be rid of them, it is necessary to concentrate on the opposite. For example, if we have a habit of biting our nails,we must concentrate on seeing ourselves as living without any trace(even in imagination) of that habit. We must see only the goal, and the obstacles will fall off by themselves. With the coming of His Divine light, the darkness of eons can melt away.

As one advances in one's realization and experiences the benefits of concentration, one hardly wants to abandon its practice. Spiritual techniques in concentration take one to the threshold of supreme joy,divine strength, deeper knowledge, and high levels of intuition.Ultimately success in profound concentration is a pre-requisite for success in communion with the omniscient Spirit.

Through concentration, one can draw to the surface, the repository of experiences submerged in the subconscious mind. The subconscious mind is our most obedient serf and carries experiences not only of this life but also of the entire past. Swami Sivananda explained "when we are unable to solve a problem, be it personal or scientific,we should tell our subconscious mind to do it for us. Approached with trust and confidence, it will provide the right answer. The command must be couched in very clear, explicit terms with no ambiguity. If the solution is not elicited after a night's sleep, we may repeat the command at the same time each day, until the response is forthcoming."

Comprehensive development of the subconscious mind will relieve some of the pressure of the conscious mind, enabling it to concentrate more easily on noble and wise objectives and practices.

We oft complain about the traumas and trials that manifest in our lives. But very conveniently we forget that deep down we ourselves are responsible through our own thoughts and actions for these traumas. We have either been lazy or then simply over-enthusiastic in our uncontrolled thoughts and actions. Increased practices in techniques of concentration will manifest in us the ability to arrest the seed of unwanted thought is right at the outset and also to skillfully guide the raft of our new thoughts. Only then will we be able, with the help of God and Guru to have control over our destiny and over our own mind; and one who has control over one's own mind can very definitely also relate with and manifest control over every other mind.

Concentration implies great self-control, especially over one's emotions and true concentration endows great strength-of mind and of character. It awakens within us an innate capability to withstand life's sudden and unexpected shocks, be it depression, chaos or other uncertainties. This strength, we must realize, depends not on material power but on mental caliber and poise. To acquire real mental poise, you have to attain wisdom. To acquire wisdom, you have to develop the mind, which is to develop the power of super concentration, whereby will flow from within the all-conquering power of wisdom.

The main idea of concentration, explained Swami Paramananda (Ramakrishna Mission) "is to make our ourselves a channel, so clear, so direct, so unbiased, that through our instrumentality the power of Divinity can flow and accomplish Its great end. Keep this always in mind." In the Bhagavad-Gita, the concentrated mind of the Yogi is compared to the flame of a lamp that does not flicker. "When the mind is completely subdued by the practice of Yoga, and has attained serenity, in that state, seeing Self by the self, he is satisfied in the Self alone."

A mind that becomes concentrated enters a new province. Like one who has discovered a chest full of treasure, it can think of nothing else."Seeing Self by the self, we are satisfied in the Self alone." Like a musician wholly absorbed in his notes forgets all about food, drink and bodily needs, a man of single focus is able to harness all his energy to the one most essential objective. Concentration is a tremendous force in society. Through its right use, one is successful in whatever one chooses to do. But concentration should not be consciously practiced only during times of need; one should constantly keep developing the powers of the mind at all times.

SriRamakrishna Paramahansa, the great Master of modern India gives in his teachings a very vivid illustration. Every man, he said, should make a legitimate effort to keep his mind in a good, clean, concentrated condition; otherwise it grows unsightly-like a metal vessel, which becomes tarnished if it is not polished every day.

A golden vessel,however, does not have to be polished so frequently. So too with our mind. Once it mingles with the Supreme, it becomes like the vessel of gold and retains its splendor even when it is not given any special care.
