We don't see things as they are, we see them as we are.

Anais Nin

Serving Your Own Revolution

Whatever relationships you have attracted in your life at this moment, are precisely the ones you need in your life at this moment. There is a hidden meaning behind all events, and this hidden meaning is serving your own evolution.

Deepak Chopra

Thankful

Be thankful when you’re tired and weary because it means you’ve made a difference.

The Biggest Fear

Death is not the biggest fear we have; our biggest fear is taking the risk to be alive - the risk to be alive and express what we really are.

Don Miguel Ruiz

Our Work

Our work is the presentation of our capabilities.

Thankful

Be thankful when you’re tired and weary because it means you’ve made a difference.

True Progress

Our ambition should be to rule ourselves, the true kingdom for each one of us; and true progress is to know more, and be more, and to do more.

Conscience of Children

The conscience of children is formed by the influences that surround them; their notions of good and evil are the result of the moral atmosphere they breathe.

Heart

Have a heart that never hardens, a temper that never tries, and a touch that never hurts.

Believe in Miracles

Believe in miracles but don't depend on them. When you hear a kind word spoken about a friend, tell him so. Spoil your spouse, not your children. Never make fun of someone who speaks broken English. It means they know another language. To help your children turn out well, spend twice as much time with them and half as much money.

H. Jackson Brown, Jr., from Life's Little Instruction Book

Confidence

You have to believe in yourself, that's the secret. Even when I was in the orphanage, when I was roaming the street trying to find enough to eat, even then I thought of myself as the greatest actor in the world. I had to feel the exuberance that comes from utter confidence in yourself. Without it, you go down to defeat.

Charlie Chaplin

Because You Have Lived

To laugh often and much

To win the respect

Of intelligent people

And the affection of children;

To earn the appreciation

Of honest critics and endure

The betrayal of false friends,

To appreciate beauty,

To find the best in others,

To leave the world

A bit better, whether

By a healthy child,

A garden patch

Or a redeemed social condition,

To know even one life

Has breathed easier

Because you have lived.

That is to have succeeded .......

~Ralph Waldo Emerson~

Why I Care . . . By Kaoru

Your Greatest Investment

You are your greatest investment. The more you store in that mind of yours, the more you enrich your experience, the more people you meet, the more books you read, and the more places you visit, the greater is that investment in all that you are. Everything that you add to your peace of mind, and to your outlook upon life, is added capital that no one but yourself can dissipate.

George Matthew Adams

We is what we are born with. Fear is what we learn. The spiritual journey is the unlearning of fear and prejudices and the acceptance of love back in our hearts. Love is the essential reality and our purpose on earth. To be consciously aware of it, to experience love in ourselves and others, is the meaning of life. Meaning does not lie in things. Meaning lies in us.

Marianne Williamson

Giving Love

The giving of love is an education in itself.

Path of Authentic Service

Our deepest calling is to grow into our own authentic self-hood, whether or not it conforms to some image of who we ought to be. As we do so, we will not only find the joy that every human being seeks -- we will also find our path of authentic service in the world.

Parker J. Palmer

Love Ourselves

We cease loving ourselves if no one loves us.

Time On Earth

If I can affect a positive change by use of my abilities, I gladly embrace the opportunity. I feel that if you don't use the gifts you've been given, your time on earth has been wasted.

Face Life

We cannot truly face life until we face the fact that it will be taken away from us.

Best of Yourself

You get the best out of others when you give the best of yourself.

Lessons

The road of life twists and turns and no two directions are ever the same. Yet our lessons come from the journey, not the destination.

Extrordinary Opportunities

Don't wait for extraordinary opportunities. Seize common occasions and make them great. Weak men wait for opportunities; strong men make them.

Our Deepest Fears

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that frightens us most. We ask ourselves, 'Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and famous?' Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that people won't feel insecure around you. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in all of us. And when we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others."

Marianne Williamson

Unknown Love

Unknown Love has nothing to do with what you are expecting to get, it’s what you are expected to give––which is everything.

Life is not Easy

Life is not easy for any of us. But what of that? We must have perseverance and, above all,
confidence in ourselves. We must believe that we are gifted for something, and that this
something, at whatever cost, must be attained.

Prejudice

Prejudice is the glass through which most things are seen and judged.

Opportunity to Change

Each of us has the opportunity to change and grow until our very last breath.

Be Great

You don't have to be great to start, but you have to start to be great.

You Are Inspired

When you are inspired by some great purpose, some extraordinary project, all your thoughts break their bonds; your mind transcends limitations, your consciousness expands in every direction, and you find yourself in a new, great and wonderful world. Dormant forces, faculties and talents become alive, and you discover yourself to be a greater person by far than you ever dreamed yourself to be.

Journey of this Life

Simplicity is making the journey of this life with just baggage enough.

Breath

Each person is born to one possession which out values all his others- his last breath.

Balance and Harmony

Just as light brightens darkness, discovering inner fulfillment can eliminate any disorder or discomfort. This is truly the key to creating balance and harmony in everything you do.

Deepak Chopra

The Dream of Freedom and Peace

I am leaving this legacy to all of you……to bring peace, justice, equality, love and a fulfillment of what our lives should be. Without vision, the people will perish, and without courage and inspiration, dreams will die –– the dream of freedom and peace.

Rosa Parks

The Posivitve Effect of Kindness

The positive effect of kindness on the immune system and on the increased production of serotonin in the brain has been proven in research studies. Serotonin is a naturally occurring substance in the body that makes us feel more comfortable, peaceful, and even blissful. In fact, the role of most anti-depressants is to stimulate the production of serotonin chemically, helping to ease depression. Research has shown that a simple act of kindness directed toward another improves the functioning of the immune system and stimulates the production of serotonin in both the recipient of the kindness and the person extending the kindness. Even more amazing is that persons observing the act of kindness have similar beneficial results. Imagine this! Kindness extended, received, or observed beneficially impacts the physical health and feelings of everyone involved!

Wayne Dyer

The Way You Talk

If someone in your life talked to you the way you talk to yourself, you would have left them long ago.

A Miracle

The only way to live is to accept each minute as an unrepeatable miracle, which is exactly what it is: a miracle and unrepeatable.

Encouragement

The finest gift you can give anyone is encouragement. Yet, almost no one gets the encouragement they need to grow into their full potential. If everyone received the encouragement they need to grow, the genius in most everyone would blossom and the world would produce abundance beyond our wildest dreams.

Sidney Madwed

Fear

Fear is a question: What are you afraid of, and why? Just as the seed of health is in illness, because illness contains information, our fears are a treasure house of self-knowledge if we explore them.

Truths

Truths cannot be acquired from words out of other people’s mouths. Before Truths can be internalized, they must come from one’s own realizations and practices. Through a lifetime of personal practice, human beings are capable of revealing all of the secrets of the cosmic essence. You are your own best judge.

- Buddha

Effective Manner

Wise man learns from his mistakes, people share their experiences in form of advice. To give an advice at right time in effective manner is also an art.

Discipline

No one denies the importance of Discipline. Discipline is the soul of life. Disciplinary life is successful life. It brings proportion in life. Discipline is order, control, arrangement and organization. It is a process of training and educating ourselves to live under control of certain rules and regulations.

Courage to Change

There is nobody who totally lacks the courage to change.

Blame

One of the biggest contributors to low-energy fatigue is blame. Blaming a boss who made you work late or your "impossible, overloaded life" will only drain you. Fatigue from emotional energy drain results in diminished presence during the workday.

Decisions

Perform every action after careful consideration of the past experience, present situation and the future consequence and you will be successful. At the end of each day, in all the situations that you have faced and in all the decisions you have taken check if there were any feelings of regret, repentance or any other waste thoughts. When the action is performed after careful consideration, there will be no waste thoughts. Before you make every major decision, make sure you do it after careful consideration. Let there be the practice of spending time and thoughts before the action than wasting time and thoughts by regretting after the action has already been performed.

Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Paths in Life

We all take different paths in life, but no matter where we go, we take a little of each other everywhere.

Happy Friendship Day!

If you missed Friendship Day last Sunday, don't worry. Many people are keen to celebrate Friendship Day on August 8, as per last year's holiday schedule. And if you did celebrate Friendship Day on July 30, they how about a double celebration this year?

Self-Examination

Practice the art of self-examination.


“Problems cannot be solved at the same level of awareness that created them.”

-Albert Einstein

This is the turning point. From here, you can start creating your new life. It’s time to get rid of your automatic pilot syndrome——Samuel and Cliche’s term for thinking, doing, and/or feeling the same things over and over——and start making deliberate, healthful choices. You may feel that you have no control over your circumstances, and it’’s certainly true that you can’t control other people. But what you can control is how you respond and react. Ask yourself: how might I have created, promoted, or allowed the situation I am in? If you are honest, you will see that you did play a role in your current situation, even if you merely sat back and let it happen.

Bless You

When the first light of sun, Bless you. When the long day is done, Bless you. In your smiles and your tears, Bless you. Through each day of your years, Bless you. - Irish Blessings

Primary Choices of Life

There are two primary choices in life: to accept conditions as they exist, or accept the responsibility for changing them.

Release Your Heart

Your body is free but your heart is in prison. To release your heart, you simply reverse the

process which locked it up. First you begin to listen for messages from your heart——messages
you may have been ignoring since childhood. Next you must take the daring, risky step of
expressing your heart in the outside world. . . . As you learn to live by heart, every choice you
make will become another way of telling your story. . . . It is the way you were meant to exist. If
you stop to listen, you’ll realize that your heart has been telling you so all along.

Martha Beck, "Finding Your Own North Star”

Being Forgotten

The worst feeling in the world isnt being lonley; its being forgotten by someone you could never forget.

Pick Up A Lesson

Think only positive thoughts, speak only positive words. Every time you start to think or say something negative, stop. Change your sentences into the positive. Pessimists complain about their problems; optimists think of solutions. Advise, rather than criticize. Encourage, inspire, motivate ––- yourself and others. Pick up a lesson, rather than blame. And always count your blessings.

The Authentic Self

The authentic self is the best part of a human being. It's the part of you that already cares, that is already passionate about evolution. When your authentic self miraculously awakens and becomes stronger than your ego, then you will truly begin to make a difference in this world. You will literally enter into a partnership with the creative principle.


Andrew Cohen

Never Blame Any Day

Never blame any day, good days give you happiness and bad days give you experience. Always learn from both. Enjoy the day!

Be Grateful

Valued and Appreciated

People love to feel valued and appreciated, and they often respond with more praiseworthy behavior. Make it a point to verbalize and show your gratitude. Be generous with compliments and tokens of appreciation when they are deserved. The power of appreciation is indescribable, so don’t underestimate it.

Healthy Boundaries

Set healthy boundaries. The most obvious way to teach others how to treat you is to make your physical and emotional boundaries clear. Decide for yourself what is and what is not okay with you. In every relationship, define your role, the level of closeness or intimacy, any limitations and the degree of authority or power imbalance (if any).
