“Of course there is no formula
for success except, perhaps, an unconditional acceptance of life and what it
brings.” ~Arthur Rubinstein
Life's too short to wake up in
the morning with regrets. So ... Love the people who treat you right. Pray for
the ones who don't. Life is ten percent
what you make it and ninety percent how you take it :-)Many people are like
garbage trucks. They run around full of garbage, full of frustration, full of anger,
and full of disappointment. As their garbage piles up, they need a place to
dump it and sometimes they'll dump it on you. Don't take it personally.Just smile, wave, wish them well, and move
on. Don't take their garbage and spread it to other people at work, at home, or
on the streets. The bottom line is that
successful people do not let garbage trucks take over their day.They know to Balance between the heart and their brain.
You see, sometimes you’re an observer
of other people’s lives and you think you’ll never experience what they’re
living, whether it be a positive or negative situation. You think, “That will
never happen to me.”Part of the real beauty of life is that it’s unpredictable.
Nothing is permanent, everything changes; and of course, a lot of things can
happen that will transform who you are and have an impact on your life. The
problem is that we need to cultivate the ability to truly accept whatever comes
and embrace it.
We need to develop the habit of
looking at whatever happens through a positive mindset, instead of a negative
and defeatist one.Of course, life will bring many challenges, and it’s not easy
to embrace them when we’re suffering and wishing those things would have never
happened. But if we start cultivating acceptance in our lives right now, we’ll
likely cope with future crises in a different way and view them from a
different perspective. We will accept instead of resisting.
Choose not to judge what happens
to you. Instead believe that everything happens for a reason and that better
things will always follow. That’s the beginning of true acceptance. You never
know what can happen in the future. Nothing in this life is permanent,
everything changes. And maybe someday you can have what you desire, but if
today you can't, you need to let it go and accept that right now you can't have
what you want. It's about accepting what is happening right now.I know it’s hard to practice
acceptance when you deeply wish things aren’t the way they are. But the truth
is, sometimes we can’t change our reality, even though we try.So instead of
staring at the closed door in front of us, or getting tired and bruised while
we try to break it down, let’s turn around and see how many other windows we
have open.
People who have a lot of money and no time we call 'rich'.
People who have time but no money we call 'poor'. Yet the most precious
gifts--care,friendship, time with loved ones--grow only in the sweet soil of
unproductive time.
Take a look a your life’s priorities as well as your
family’s. Do you all have crazy schedules where you can’t fit in any quality
time for people around you? Reevaluate what’s important and necessary in those
schedules. In daily life the most precious thing you can give someone is your
Time, because when you are giving somebody your time you are giving something
that would never come back in your life. This is the piece of your life, you
own it. You can never create it in future. The time you give to somebody in
your life is exclusively for that person at that point of life.Yet sometimes
the idea and value of giving and receiving time is forgotten or unrecognized. Think
about it.
When I write this post I remember a story I read Recently.
I arrived at the address and honked the horn. After waiting
a few minutes I honked again. Since this was going to be my last ride of my
shift I thought about just driving away, but instead I put the car in park and
walked up to the door and knocked.. 'Just a minute', answered a frail, elderly
voice. I could hear something being dragged across the floor.After a long pause, the door opened. A small woman in her
90's stood before me. She was wearing a print dress and a pillbox hat with a
veil pinned on it, like somebody out of a 1940's movie.By her side was a small
nylon suitcase. The apartment looked as if no one had lived in it for years.
All the furniture was covered with sheets.There were no clocks on the walls, no
knickknacks or utensils on the counters. In the corner was a cardboard box
filled with photos and glassware.
'Would you carry my bag out to the car?' she said. I took
the suitcase to the cab, then returned to assist the woman.She took my arm and
we walked slowly toward the curb.She kept thanking me for my kindness. 'It's
nothing', I told her.. 'I just try to treat my passengers the way I would want
my mother to be treated.''Oh, you're such a good boy, she said. When we got in
the cab, she gave me an address and then asked, 'Could you drive through
downtown?'
'It's not the shortest way,' I answered quickly..'Oh, I
don't mind,' she said. 'I'm in no hurry. I'm on my way to a hospice.I looked in the rear-view mirror. Her eyes were glistening.
'I don't have any family left,' she continued in a soft voice..'The doctor says
I don't have very long.' I quietly reached over and shut off the meter.'What
route would you like me to take?' I asked.
For the next two hours, we drove through the city. She
showed me the building where she had once worked as an elevator operator.We
drove through the neighborhood where she and her husband had lived when they
were newlyweds She had me pull up in front of a furniture warehouse that had
once been a ballroom where she had gone dancing as a girl.Sometimes she'd ask me to slow in front of a particular
building or corner and would sit staring into the darkness, saying nothing.As
the first hint of sun was creasing the horizon, she suddenly said, 'I'm
tired.Let's go now'.We drove in silence to the address she had given me.
It was
a low building, like a small convalescent home, with a driveway that passed
under a portico.Two orderlies came out to the cab as soon as we pulled up. They
were solicitous and intent, watching her every move.They must have been expecting her.I opened the trunk and
took the small suitcase to the door. The woman was already seated in a
wheelchair.'How much do I owe you?' She asked, reaching into her purse.'Nothing,'
I said. 'You have to make a living,' she answered.'There are other passengers,'
I responded. Almost without thinking, I bent and gave her a hug.She held onto
me tightly.'You gave an old woman a little moment of joy,' she said. 'Thank
you.'
I squeezed her hand, and then walked into the dim morning
light.. Behind me, a door shut.It was the sound of the closing of a life..I
didn't pick up any more passengers that shift. I drove aimlessly lost in
thought. For the rest of that day,I could hardly talk.What if that woman had
gotten an angry driver,or one who was impatient to end his shift? What if I had
refused to take the run, or had honked once, then driven away?On a quick review, I don't think that I have done anything
more important in my life.We're conditioned to think that our lives revolve
around great moments.But great moments often catch us unaware-beautifully
wrapped in what others may consider a small one.
Of all the things you value in life virtually everything,
within reason, is unlimited. You can always make more money, buy more flowers
or get more food, Likes or followers or friends on Twitter or Facebook. But
time? It’s a rare gem that should be coddled and used wisely.Life passes by too
quickly to ignore opportunities to connect with good souls around us. Whether
it’s a few minutes or many days, choose to spend some quality time for mankind.
“The most important thing in this world is to learn to
give out love, and let it come in.” ~Morrie Schwartz.
Love is a strange and beautiful thing.I always thought I
knew what love meant. I grew up hearing the words all the time. It was on
Tv,movies in books and magazines, and people all around were saying it.I
thought I knew how to love. I mean, I told my teddy bear that I loved him
because he kept me safe at night. I told my sister that I loved her, only if
she was nice to me and would play the games that I wanted.But If I didn't get
gifts form my friends for my birthday or if my sister denied to give her pearl
chain to me or If my parents did not get me dress in my favourite pink colour I
have felt indifferently. I seemed
to only love the people and things that would give me something in return and
that would allow life to go on the way that Iwanted
it to.
There are times when we say harsh things to people we love just because things aren’t going our way, or because they made us unhappy.In these situations, we find ourselves putting provisions on love. We attach it to how others are acting, and whether they reciprocate the feelings we give to them. We attach it to the circumstances and emotions that go on in a single moment.We find ourselves holding back, fearful of being hurt, afraid to sacrifice a piece of ourselves. But what if we looked beyond all this and just loved?Love because you’re grateful for the things someone has done for you. Love because someone needs you, needs a friend to lean on during their struggles. Love even when it is difficult, even when your mind tells you that you shouldn’t.
Life is full of imperfect things and imperfect people. I’m not the best at hardly anything, and I forget birthdays and anniversaries just like everyone else. But what I’ve learned over the years is that learning to accept each others faults – and choosing to celebrate each others differences – is one of the most important keys to creating a healthy, growing, and lasting relationship.Love by looking beyond people’s faults, struggles, and whatever pain and hardships that life may bring. This unconditional love is something that can so easily be given if we recognize it, and that can change someone else’s life completely. When we love and treat each other with the utmost care and attention, the little things that bother us seem far less overwhelming.What would the world be like if we stopped looking to get something in return, and just loved unconditionally, for the happiness and inner peace it brings us all?
If you are a poet, you will see clearly that there is a cloud floating in a sheet of paper. Without a cloud, there will be no rain; without rain, the trees cannot grow; and without trees, we cannot make paper. The cloud is essential for the paper to exist. If the cloud is not here, the sheet of paper cannot be here either. So we can say that the cloud and the paper inter-are. "Interbeing" is a word that is not in the dictionary yet, but if we combine the prefix "inter-" with the verb "to be," we have a new verb, inter-be.
"If we look into this sheet of paper even more deeply, we can see the sunshine in it. Without sunshine, the forest cannot grow. In fact, nothing can grow without sunshine. And so, we know that the sunshine is also in this sheet of paper. The paper and the sunshine inter-are. And if we continue to look, we can see the logger who cut the tree and brought it to the mill to be transformed into paper. And we see wheat. We know the logger cannot exist without his daily bread, and therefore the wheat that became his bread is also in this sheet of paper. The logger's father and mother are in it too. When we look in this way, we see that without all of these things, this sheet of paper cannot exist."Start Creating your Own Reality.Pave way to your Out of Box Thinking.Spend A Peaceful Evening in your Garden.In a Place full of Fresh Flowers.Inhale the Fresh air.Exhale your Tensions.

If you feel Lonely Lie down and Look into the dark sky.The Twinkling stars can narrate you the story of nature.The Cool breeze will touch your heart and wipes off your fears and tears. Recognition puts us back in the driver's seat, piloting our own craft and no longer at the mercy of circumstance. That we had been constantly crashing into things was simply because we weren't steering; what was steering was our automatic, unexamined, interpretive stance in relationship to reality, and we kept hitting the wall, clueless. So it is an empowering and transformational shift to take responsibility in that way.Thus we have choice and power not over what's actually out there or what happens to us, but rather, how we see and interpret what's out there and what happens.Create your Own Reality!!!!
When we are trustworthy people can rely on us. We can be counted on to do what we say we will do. If we make commitments, we follow through on them.keeping promises is very important. Don't make promises you can't keep.
Being trustworthy also means that our outer words are aligned with our intentions. We seek to maintain a level of transparency that lets other people feel clear about who we are and what they can expect from us. We treat the trust of others as a sacred gift, knowing that it in trusting us they make themselves vulnerable and that we have the power to harm them.Being trustworthy doesn't mean we will never let others down. Rather, it is a attitude and a pattern of behavior that honors the trust placed in us.
A teacher showed three toys to a student and asked them to find out the differences. All the three toys were identical in their shape, size and material. After keen observation, the student observed holes in the toys. 1st toy it had holes in the ears. 2nd toy had holes in ear and mouth. 3rd toy had only one hole in one ear. Students put the needle in the ear hole of 1st toy. The needle came out from the other ear. In the 2nd toy, when the needle was put in the ear it came out of mouth. In the 3rd toy, when the needle was put in, the needle did not come out.
Teacher explained : First toy represented those people around you who give an impression that they are listening to you and care for you. But they just pretend to do so. After listening, as the needle comes out from the next ear, the things you said to them by counting on them are gone. So be careful while you are speaking to these type of people around you, who don’t care for you.
Second toy represented those people who listen to you and give an impression that they care for you. But as in the toy, these people will tell your confidential things to others for their own purpose. Third toy represented kinds of people who will keep the trust you have in them. They are the ones who you can count on. They are the one’s whose friendship is to be cherished.So Which Category you Belong to?
Honesty is the best and the most expensive gift you can give to someone.It brings trust. It makes you trustworthy, which is priceless.Remember, trust cannot be purchased, learned or acquired.It has to be earned.Trust based on Honesty is the foundation of strong and bonding relationships.Lead a Honest & Happy Life.Because If you tell the truth you don’t have to remember anything ~ Mark Twain
Little Boy and his mother were crossing a bridge.The mother was kind of scared so she asked her little one,‘Sweetheart, please hold my hand so that you don’t fall into the river.’The little Boy said, ‘No, Mom. You hold my hand.’‘What’s the difference?’ Asked the puzzled Mother..‘There’s a big difference,’ replied the little Boy.‘If I hold your hand and something happens to me, chances are that I may let your hand go.But if you hold my hand, I know for sure that no matter what happens, you will never let my hand go.’In any relationship, the essence of trust is not in its bind, but in its bond.Hold the hand of the person who loves you rather than expecting them to hold yours:)
When you get to know some one Loves you very Deeply you will feel happy! But Being Trusted will Give you Real Happiness than being Loved!! Becoming a trustworthy person is within the reach of anyone. It is a powerful and essential character trait that can take you far in every kind of relationship you make. Trustworthiness starts with you, no matter who you are. It doesn't matter what clothes you wear, your level of education, family, connections, or your wealth or popularity. It starts with the words you say, the everyday actions you do, and the promises you keep. You can't buy it. You can't pretend to have it. You have to prove it.
Humans are the only species to show a strong bias in handedness, with around 90% of people being right-handed. The cause of this bias remains largely a mystery .Researchers haven’t quite figured that out yet, but some believe it’s a complex collaboration between genes and environment. There isn’t a distinct gene that indicates left-handedness; however, there is a difference between brain capabilities in righties and lefties.
A genetic study has identified a biological process that influences whether we are right-handed or left-handed. Scientists found correlations between handedness and a network of genes involved in establishing left-right asymmetry in developing embryos.The most strongly associated, statistically significant variant with handedness is located in the gene PCSK6, which is involved in the early establishment of left and right in the growing embryo.
The connection between the left brain and the right brain is "somewhat larger and better connected in left-handers. So what does this mean? It could mean that left-handers have a slight advantage in sports, gaming and other activities in which players face large volumes of stimuli being thrown at them simultaneously or in quick succession. Theoretically, they could more easily use both hemispheres of the brain to manage that stimuli, resulting in faster overall processing and response time.
It could also mean that when one hemisphere of the brain got overloaded and started to slow down, the other hemisphere could more easily pick up the slack without missing a beat. Experts also theorize that left-handed people could fare better mentally as they move into old age and overall brain processing starts to slow down: With a greater ability for one brain hemisphere to quickly back up the tasks of the other, left-handed seniors could retain mental quickness longer than their right-handed counterparts.
Some researchers believe lefties are capable of more complex reasoning, which is why there's a particularly high number of lefty Noble Prize winners, artists, writers, architects, musicians, and mathematicians. Others theorize that lefties are forced to find solutions in order to survive in a right-dominated world, which means they experience extra mental resilience.
Strengths of Righties vs. Lefties
Right-handed AKA left-brained people tend to be have higher
Rhythm (Beats),Non-verbal expression,Expressing feelings,Visualization,Remember the tune of songs,Daydreaming.
Yet a number of questions remain, including whether there are selective advantages for right over left handedness that are strong enough to explain why almost the entire human species skews to the right, and is such advantages exist, why 15% of humans remain stubbornly left-handed.The handedness mystery continues!!!
I'm sitting in front of my Laptop after a weeks of Time thinking of what to write in my blog for today.As I gather my thoughts, I notice my emotional state: content, calm and peaceful. I am struck by the irony. Sitting here preparing to write about gratitude, I realize that is exactly what I am feeling today.Although we may acknowledge gratitude’s benefits, it can still feel difficult to feel grateful when we are going through a difficult time. That’s why it makes so much sense to practice gratitude, in good times and bad. It may be human nature to notice all that is wrong or that we lack, but if we give ourselves the chance on a regular basis to notice all of life's gifts and blessings, we can increase our sense of well-being, and create hope and optimism for the future no matter what is going on.
Some children were playing beside a river. They made castles of sand and each child defended his castle and said, “This one is mine .” They kept their castles separate and would not allow any mistakes about which was whose. When the castles were all finished, one child kicked over someone else’s and completely destroyed it. The owner of the castle flew into a rage, pulled the other child’s hair, struck him with his fist and bawled out, “He has ruined my castle! help me punish him as he deserves. The others all came to his help. They beat the child with a stick and then stamped on him as he lay on the ground. . . Then they went on playing in their sand-castles, each saying, “This is mine; no one else may have it. Keep away! Don’t touch my castle!”
But evening came; it was getting dark and they all thought they ought to be going home. No one cared what became of his castle. One child stamped on his, another pushed his over with both his hands. Then they turned away and went back, each to his home.Behaviors resonate for centuries for both children and adults. Today’s prized possessions and cherished ambitions are yesterday’s sand-castles. What is left?
One small thing you should do every day-show your gratitude, appreciation and love for the people and things around you.find something you are appreciative of or find something you are grateful for.Did you know that appreciation, gratitude and love are the highest forms of vibration?" "You can only have one vibration at a time, and if you are noticing what you appreciate and noticing what you are grateful for, you can't be noticing what you don't like."Decide today that you are going to reduce negativity in your life by getting rid of the 'don'ts,' 'nots' and 'no's'-the negative people, the negative thoughts,Get in the habit of appreciating things."
If the only prayer you say in your life is ‘thank you,’ that would suffice. – Meister Eckhart
Thank Everyday's Gift
People tend to take for granted the good that is already present in their lives. There’s a gratitude exercise that instructs that you should imagine losing some of the things that you take for granted, such as your home, your ability to see or hear, your ability to walk, or anything that currently gives you comfort. Then imagine getting each of these things back, one by one, and consider how grateful you would be for each and every one. In addition, you need to start finding joy in the small things instead of holding out for big achievements—such as getting the promotion, having a comfortable nest egg saved up, getting married, having the baby, and so on–before allowing yourself to feel gratitude and joy.
Another way to use giving thanks to appreciate life more fully is to use gratitude to help you put things in their proper perspective. When things don’t go your way, remember that every difficulty carries within it the seeds of an equal or greater benefit. In the face of adversity ask yourself: “What’s good about this?”, “What can I learn from this?”, and “How can I benefit from this?”
Start practicing gratitude to improve your well-being
1.Keep a gratitude journal. At the end of each day, write down 3-5 things from the day you feel grateful for. Simplicity is key. Your baby’s smile, a perfect sunset, the train arriving on time, or your best friend’s laughter. Relish the feeling you get when remembering and writing it down.
2.Express your gratitude. Take the time to share your feelings. Not the simple, polite thank you, but the heartfelt emotions. Tell your friend how her support and sense of humor helps you get through tough times, and how much it means to you. Don’t take your loved ones for granted. Let them know how much you love them and why.
3.Look for what is right about a situation, not what’s wrong. Sure you’re frustrated by the bus being late, but thankfully you have an understanding boss. Service at the restaurant is poor, but you are lucky to afford an evening out surrounded by good friends.
4.Practice gratitude with your family and friends. Although you may not say grace before a meal, encourage each family member to report one thing that happened that day that they feel grateful for. When you hear a friend moaning and complaining, challenge him or her to find the hidden opportunity or silver lining to the situation.
Often times we get so busy with chasing after the things we want, after the things that are somewhere out there, that we forget to enjoy the present moment, we forget to be happy. You hear people all the time saying: Oh, I will be happy when I will get this and that, when I will get there, when I will do this and that… and when those things do happen, they go on to planning the next thing and the next thing and forget to enjoy the things they achieved so far, the things they longed for. By doing so people also forget to enjoy what they already have, they forget to be happy. Don’t let that be you.
“Be thankful for what you have; you’ll end up having more. If you concentrate on what you don’t have, you will never, ever have enough.”
Realize that now, in this moment you have more than enough. It’s okay to have dreams, it’s okay to aspire to grow, to learn, to evolve and to achieve big things but it’s also important to celebrate yourself, to celebrate your accomplishments, to celebrate the present moment and to celebrate your life. With gratitude comes happiness and with happiness comes gratitude!!!!
