THOUGHTS DEFINE YOUR DAY

TRUE INTENTIONS CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE

It is proven that  thoughts and emotions govern actions.

With the prudent use of the qualities that we have been blessed with, we can make a difference in our and others' lives. It is just that we all are so much involved in our daily routine that we tend to forget how to optimally utilize the two most powerful attributes that we all possess - "Contentment and Gratitude".

Motivating and appreciating other individuals' is a quality that we all can easily develop with conscious effort. No matter how we judge a person i.e strong, weak, emotional, sentimental etc, it is absolutely true that each one of us are dealing with one or other issues/problems/challenges in our own small world.

When we genuinely try to help out others by motivating them with our words and actions, it fills us up with compassion, love and kindness. These words of appreciation and compassion should be truly meaningful, then only the other person would connect to your radiating energy full of good intentions and well being.

Try to be as truthful and genuine as you can be. While motivating others would spread happiness, at the same time, it would fill up your mind and soul with love, contentment and internal bliss.
 
Life is  beautiful when we realize and understand that everyone has their own journey to complete. We meet different souls with a purpose, whatever experience we go through during our interactions, we tend to learn something new. Keep yourself open and experience the amazing beauty of different souls that you interact with.

 

Be the reason of others'  smiles and happiness as this would bless you with many more reasons to feel blessed. Similarly, motivating others' with sincere and good intentions would bring  bliss in your life as well.

Feel BLESSED in every step you take and spread your bliss. 

 

THE JOURNEY

Sometimes you wonder what are you doing and where are you heading in your life. It is ironic that our visions and ambitions get blurred when we are surrounded by people and circumstances that are not conducive. Our energy and zeal drains down. But if your vision is clear in your heart and mind then you can cross all the limits to achieve what you are aiming for .

Life becomes so beautiful when we inculcate Self-Improvement as our daily mantra.

Consider yourself as a beautiful piece of art created by God - "You are adorable".
 

As we all grow and mature as we go through different phases of life, there is  a need felt inside to bring in more meaning to our life. This is the time to  just play around a little everyday-  understanding more of yourself."YOU AS A BEAUTIFUL SOUL".

Feed you inner self with rich and nutrient food of amazingly Positive Thoughts then see the "MAGIC" work. Mind Conditioning is very important. Train yourself well, as it would be difficult in the beginning but for every single negative thought switch to positive.

A variety of inspirational books and personalities advocate few steps to make a productive and positive change in ourselves. When you start implementing, then you realize that a lot of  work is required  to bring in a change.

Persistence, Perseverance and Discipline are the key words to follow in this journey.
 

It is astounding to see yourself developing each and every single moment into an amazing and wonderful person. I am loving and appreciating myself every single moment since I have started this beautiful journey.

Some days are full of questions and "why's", but I have realized as soon as we get disturbed by anything-  just sit back, revisit your Vision and ASK  for answers.

Once you start looking for the answers, always keep your intentions and heart pure and eyes wide open....as answers are being sent to you by the Universe. It is MAGIC - Its amazingly true!!!!!

Come on board for this beautiful journey and know your purpose. Redefine yourself and your passion, then see what Universe unfolds before you.

Live and love yourself- Success is awaiting!!!! Bon Voyage!!!!

ADDING MORE TO LIFE

Gear up and add purpose and energy in your life. Our thoughts,emotions and actions make up our individual "customized" world.

Each one of us view  the world  differently and it all comes down to the thinking pattern we use in your daily life. If you think life is wonderful you will notice the wonderful things in your life, and if on the contrary you think life is horrible you will find bad things about life.

Consciously recognizing your thought process every moment of the day is very important. If you are happy and contented with the lifestyle you are having at present and want to make no further positive progress,then you don't need to apply these steps. 

If you have the urge inside to add more to your day and make positive  progress towards achieving a lifestyle worth enjoying,then these steps can be really helpful when applied.

The inner zeal to do  even better, keeps you going and helps you attract more opportunities and circumstances to make progress in whatever you are doing.

Small steps in everyday life that can help you to add more meaning to your life.

1. Understand the fact that self improvement is not required only if you are sad,suffering or unhappy with your present.

2. There is always a scope of adding more to your life only if you recognize the need and above all you are willing to do it.

3. Spending quality time alone is the key - understand yourself, your strengths and weaknesses.

4. Once you know the aspect you want to work on, formulate structured steps that can help you under the circumstances.

5. Understand that all individuals are different and their situations in life are different -Never Compare yourself to others.

6. Concentrate to make the best out of your set of conditions and resources.

7. Take charge of your life and yourself- don't ever look out for sympathy or attention from others.

8. Watch out for your thought process-immediately make efforts to change all the negative thoughts in positive ones.

9. Add purpose to each and every action of yours in a day.You should have a productivity chart for yourself and analyze it by the end of the day .

10. When you wrap up your day ,there should be contentment and happiness inside that you have utilized your time and day efficiently.

11. Every day brings in opportunities for us to shine and rise , so try to make the best out of it."Each day should be better than yesterday".

12. Don't be afraid of the judgements made by other people.You never know how would they react to the same situation for which they are judging you.Trust yourself and have faith in your good intentions.

13. LOVE LOVE LOVE Yourself!!!!!

14. Be willing to work on yourself-if you feel there is a need to add more to your life,just follow your instincts but never make decisions and choices according to the perceptions of others.

15. Filling up yourself with love,happiness and contentment would radiate an amazing energy from inside and it would be felt wherever you are.

16. Keep your intentions clear, your actions and words positive for yourself and for others.

Spread the happiness and charisma that you already are blessed with.
 

Stay Blessed

ELIMINATING NEGATIVITY

The cycle of good, is broken by a single act of negativity. The cycle of negativity is stopped by choosing the good -- not just once, but again and again until it is goodness that prevails in your life and in our world altogether.

                                                                                    John Morton

 

Our emotions and actions are governed by our feelings . To progress and be happy we should surround ourselves with positivity. Most of the times practical implementation of Positive thoughts is not all that easy. A number of articles and books say that we should always surround ourselves with positive people and positive environment. When I applied this knowledge in my day to day life, I must admit that it does not seem practical. Then I came across a wonderful word "Awareness". Although I had read it a number of times I did not realize the potential strength of the meaning.

 

 "You have got only one life to live -  don't spill it"
                                                                                      Robert Schuller

 

Understanding the meaning of the word "awareness" is so important because when we live every moment with full awareness then only we realise how are we responding to the situations in our daily routine.

 

To live positively and eliminate the negativity out of our system we have to work our mind continuously. As soon as we find ourselves carried away  with the flow of the events, not realising that negative thoughts have already started to dominate at that very moment, we need to take a break -  "Time alone". Sit back, relax and change your thought process with full Awareness. A renowned author once used the phrase "Turn on the Dial" that means always keep on reminding yourself to switch your thoughts to positive ones, and that too with full Awareness.

 

"Today evil spirits are seen as negativity which floats around the Earth in large quantities"

                                                                                       Scott Cunningham

 

We can start practising this with meditation and periodically taking some time out for ourselves "Time Alone". Acknowledging  the fact, that we are going through negative emotions and feelings is the first step towards eliminating those thoughts. This is the First Step of Awareness. Next is to flush out these negative emotions and instead feed ourselves with positive affirmations and emotions. Each one of us goes through situations and problems at different stages of life, but the skills we master consciously and with full awareness, to counter these situations, help to live life in complete harmony.

When you are aware of the thoughts going in your mind, you can better take control of the situation and change the outcome. Taking control of your thoughts would not only help you to have a positive outlook but also let you see things with a wider perspective.

 

What we focus on, we empower and enlarge. "Good" multiplies when focused upon and "Negativity" multiplies when focused upon. The choice is ours: Which do we want more of?

 

Wishing you every moment of life, full of positivity and abundance.

Increment to Your Potential

I came across a wonderful statement by a well known individual and then made a conscious effort to implement this in my daily routine.

 

The statement is:

 

"Grow yourself and your potential everyday, bit by bit"

 

If you decide to implement this in your lives, I can assure that after few days of consistent and conscious practice you can see the positive difference you have made in your lives. Amazingly, we can apply this rule  in each and every aspect of our lives. Each one of us has the potential to set our minds on whatever we yearn to achieve with full awareness and then progress every moment. In the process we overcome the limitations set by our own mind.

 

Belief and Visualization are the integral part of the self improvement process. Now comes the point wherein you have to start working for yourself, decide and act. Make sure you put in a little more effort to do a bit more than you think you can do. By doing so, you not only make positive progress towards your goals, but also overcome the limitations that are set in our mind. You would be amazed to see the progress you will make with this practice.

 

""Each one of us has the "power" we never dreamt of. Each one of us can do things we never thought we could do. There are no limitations in what we can do except the limitations of our own mind.""

                                                                               Darwin P. Kingsley

Positive affirmations are so powerful in this process of Self Improvement. Start the practice of "Growing yourselves and your potential" and implement this in all situations you may encounter in a day. It doesn't matter whether its in your personal,social or professional  life.

 

Limits to the "Potential within" each individual are set by his/her own thoughts but definitely the thought process is influenced by the brought up and the values that have been given throughout his/her life.

 

Living each and every moment of your life with full passion and enjoyment is the key to happiness. Whatever you are filled up with inside you, that is what you radiate and give out to others.

 

"There is no Challenge more challenging than the challenge to improve yourself"

                                                                                     Michael F Staley 

So dare to challenge yourself every morning to do a bit more positive  than what you did yesterday and feel the bliss.

 

Even while writing these beautiful words I am feeling so happy and contented. I pray for bliss and happiness for all and may you always wrap up your day with a feeling of achievement and a desire to  do  bit more the following day.

Enjoy the Bliss

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

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."

"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..
