EMBRACING THE CHANGE

When you are embodied in a location, in a physical plant, in a set of people, and in a common history, that constrains your evolution and your ability to evolve in certain directions.
                                                                                      Kevin Kelly

The process of evolving yourself over the years, is a creative process that requires willingness and consious awareness.

For personal growth and self- improvement we need to evaluate what are our strong attributes and whar are the shortcomings we are facing in our lives at this present moment.

By being receptive and open to new ideas we have the possibility to tread different paths that can eventually lead to a better and fulfilled life. With  the passage of time, we tend to develop a comfort zone. This comfort zone or should I call it a "narrow minded" approach might not be that easy to break through. By limiting ourselves into this "comfort zone" we eventually limit the realm possibilities that exist that could lead to a fuilfilled life.

Personally, my challenge is to embrace the change that comes with something new in my life. I keep myself motivated and encouraged to embrace the change due to the realization that any change will actually help me eveolve as a person.

For some individuals embracing any change is very easy, they just go with the flow of life.  But for some, leaving the "mind restricted" comfort zone is not a smooth ride. Following the road to your dreams may take you through lots of emotional turmoil . You might come across the situations where you would revisit the choices and decisions you made in the past. With the attitude of "letting go" and strong belief that things are happening for your good helps you to embrace the change and evolve yourself as a successful individual.

During this journey there would be experiences that would leave good memories and some would teach you lessons for lifetime.

Making a concious choice to move forward towards a fulfilling life is a commitment that you make with your inner self and an individual should  keep moving towards it with positive self-talk and use of positive affirmations.

Take out time to talk to yourself everyday, understanding your desires deep inside and evolving yourself in this journey to enjoy life full of bliss and contentment.

Stay Blessed

RULES OF LIFE

         " Rules Of Life"

"Life is a grindstone. Whether it grinds us down or polishes us up depends on us".
                                                              Thomas L. Holdcroft

Have you ever wished that someone could have written down the "rules of life", for a beautiful life full of happiness and love?

Well sometimes we all wish for .....isn't it?? There are no special or generalized rules to life, as we all go through different circumstances and phases in our journey. It is our outlook towards different situations that changes with time, giving us a better  understanding of our priorities  in life.I believe that a simple approach towards life is the key towards happiness. Always maintain the good values that you have been brought up with and keep focus on what you want out of life. That is the foundation of your character and a stepping stone towards a blessed life.

"Life is 10 percent what you make it, and 90 percent how you take it".

                                                                                Irving Berlin

 

Every circumstance or situation you go through gives us a better understanding of "you" as an individual and makes you evolve as an better person.

It is said that "every cloud has a silver lining"....there are moments in our lives where everything seems to be perfect and there are some moments because of which we get our
"lifetime lessons". So everything we go through has a reason, its all in our mind how we are going to deal with that situation.

Always make a genuine effort to have a solution oriented approach towards life rather than problem oriented.As said by one author "if we look at a situation and focus on the solution to it, then make an action based strategy, half of the battle is already won".

On the other hand, if we continuously  focus on the problem then we are  doing nothing but putting all our energy to make it even more worse. It is all up to us how we see ourselves and how we want to enjoy every moment of being "Alive". Life is continuously providing us with new resources, new opportunities, it depends on us how to make the best out of it. 

Enjoy the bliss  and Celebrate each and every moment of being "Alive".

MIND CONDITIONING

"Fears are educated into us, and can, if we wish, be educated out."
Karl Augustus Menninger

It is amazing how we all are so occupied in our daily chores that we sometimes overlook the simple joys of life. There are times when the daily dose of inspiration comes from unexpected quarters. I am feeling so blessed as yesterday my kids were source of my motivation and inspiration. Both of them were trying to demonstrate an acrobatic activity and were very scared initially. It was amazing to see how they overcame fear and turned it into Motivation. Both of them would shout "Ahhhhhh" before the jump......the "Ahhhhhh" was supposed to get rid of the fear and then followed by the jump. It was a small jump, but with a Big lesson for me.

We unknowingly complicate things so much that we have totally forgotten the simple ways to enjoy our life, without stress. Before embarking on anything new and challenging there's a feeling of Fear that overpowers most of us that results in unfulfilled desires and dreams. Due to the feeling of fear of the unknown a lot of us refrain ourselves from embarking on new avenues that we have been yearning for a long time.

Take out the "ME TIME" for yourselves, then think about the feeling that held you back from doing something that you always wanted to do. Analyze the feeling and then consciously take steps to achieve what you have yearned for so long.

For my kids shouting out "Ahhhhh" helped them to overcome the inner fear and after what they achieved there was a expression of satisfaction and happiness. Its as simple as that.

Make a genuine effort to overcome your inner fears. These are the mental blocks that we have conditioned our minds through our years of growing up. We all need to take small steps towards breaking through these Inner Fears and notice the difference in our Self Being.

The key here is to be aware of your aim, risks and the inner fear. Conscious steps towards the Aim by overcoming fear will lead to success and eventual happiness and Bliss.

Everything we set our mind on, is achievable, we just need to be aware of the choices we are making. Feeling of "fear" is nothing but the limitations we have set for ourselves in our minds. Get motivated to overcome the fear and see what this beautiful Life has to offer you."

Stay Blessed

"You Are Unique"

I am sure all of us have read this phrase a lot of times. Somehow with  time, I think these words are making more sense to me.

Just ponder over it and see if you also think alike. I have realized that we all have been given life for a purpose. Journey to find that purpose and living life full of passion makes us go through different situations and experiences. Our attitude towards life and people around is defined by those situations and experiences. We all have different set of the circumstances, experiences and because of that every individual has different  attitude towards life.

"Uniqueness" of an individual is defined by various moments he /she goes through  during this journey. I have realized that each one of us has some dreams and desires to fulfill . In the process of recognizing our passion we go through negative and positive experiences. The defining moment in life (when we really look for it) comes when everything seems to be falling in place and you are able to visualise your life full of contentment and happiness. Then I feel that Universe starts unfolding all the cards of life one by one before you.

We as individuals should always try to focus our energy productively, recognizing what we really want from our life and work towards fulfilling it. The Universe then helps you in every possible way.

The time and efforts individuals spend in cultivating negative thoughts leads them nowhere but towards dissatisfaction and that attracts more and more of the same. Then all the feelings of jealousy and competition

come into picture.

Believe strongly that " YOU ARE UNIQUE" and that the Almighty has great plans  for you.

Identify the purpose of your life and work towards fulfilling it. Make a conscious effort to be glad when you see others taking long strides towards attaining their purpose in Life..

Facilitate ideas and resources to help others to reach their desired goals, without any bad intentions and feelings.

The Universe and the Almighty knows about your feelings and intentions, you would feel the positive changes happening for you as well.

Take the initiative to do this with full awareness and see the difference in your life. Small steps towards self improvement...............

Stay Blessed.

LIFE SURROUNDED WITH POSITIVITY - SMALL STEP TOWARDS SELF IMPROVEMENT

Thanks to you all who posted comments for the "Spread Positivity Game". The idea was to take one small step towards Self Improvement and it has been wonderful experience for me for the last three days where I was consciously surrounded with happiness, contentment and positivity around me. Because of my awareness in the present moment the day unfolded before me as the way I wanted it to be. I strongly believe that you all were also surrounded with Positive Thoughts during the last 3 days, by reading and participating in the "Spread Positivity Game".

I hope whoever made an effort towards Positivity during these 3 days was able to make difference in their day and for others around them. Lets make a conscious decision to make it a habit and small steps towards self improvement would definitely lead us all to a happier and blessed future.

Please don't hesitate to share your experiences and feeling with others, if you can inspire others.

I will share the summary of the Comments shared by all of you over the past 3 days, in my next post.

Stay Blessed.

"SPREAD POSITIVITY"- MY EXPERIENCE

I am sure all of you would be going through the positive experience and making a change within yourselves. I have experienced quite a number of things during the day and have realised that controlling the thoughts is an art that we master through conscious awareness.

Well for me I have noticed that with conscious positive thought process there was happiness and contentment all around. We do come across negativity but, with our attitude we don't allow ourselves to sink in the worthless talks and decide  not to give importance those negative thoughts.

Yesterday, I experienced a similar situation wherein I really wanted to understand that even though we know that we have to be positive, then why do we let ourselves get sucked in negativity. I just want to share that when I was asking for an answer to this, I happened to speak to one of the blessed individuals (I must say) and she told me that with every negative thought we create disturbance in our body that leads to some or the other kind of ailments and when we allow our mind  to be ruled by negative thoughts ....we forget to "COUNT OUR BLESSING".

So I found my answer...I learnt that consciously spending each moment of our day with a positive attitude is very important to make our inner self happy and spread the positive charisma around.

Gratitude and Contentment  leads to Blissful life!!!!

Stay Blessed..

THE SPREAD POSITIVITY GAME BEGINS

THE "SPREAD POSITIVITY GAME" BEGINS

The POSITIVITY GAME Begins.......A positive attitude brings strength, energy and initiative.

The "Spread Positivity" Game begins. Starting today Think, Talk and Walk with a Positive attitude. Consciously, keep a track of the instances wherein you took the opportunity to act positively. At the end of the day share your brief stories at my Blog: http://www.letskeepinspiring.blogspot.com. Leave your comments everyday and at the end of 3 days I shall compile your stories and create a Learning for everyone.

Enjoy the game and start the journey towards Spreading Positivity.

THE “SPREAD POSITIVITY” GAME

Winston Churchill once said, "A pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity; an optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty." Positivity is a skill that can be learnt and honed over a period of time.

Let us play the “SPREAD POSITIVITY” game together and see the difference within and around us in 3 days time.

Over the next 3 days, consciously make an effort to think, talk and walk with positive attitude. The positive attitude can begin right at home in the morning, into your workplace, towards your family, kids, friends, coworkers and other daily interactions. Look at different situations during the day with a positive attitude and at the end of the day record these moments and how your positive attitude made a difference to you and others around you.

Below are few examples for better understanding:

1) Your kid is making a fuss and throwing a tantrum. How your positive attitude in dealing with the situation changed the overall environment around?

2) During the day you might come across situations, with your co-workers/family/friends wherein you have to deal with negative comments and negative people. How did you change the situation with positivity?

I am sure you would have many more experiences to share with everyone.

I believe that by starting off with something small and then making it a habit is a welcome change and would definitely work for most of us and nothing like doing it together.

So join me to embrace this change in our lives and share in my blog what you felt by the end of the 3 day. It would be an awesome experience.

Please do share it with your friends as well and motivate them to join the Game.

"RISE AND SHINE"

These are the words my son phrased this morning and I was really admiring the thought process going on in his mind. The best thing I have read in most of the books is the importance of Gratitude in our lives and I have incorporated this in my life. At night before going to sleep and in the morning before getting out of bed try to recollect all the possible reasons you are grateful for, no matter how big or small.The basic aim is to thank God and the Universe for all the blessings we have in this lifetime to make our journey more meaningful and feel contented.

Have a blessed day.
