Moments of strength

The law that saves us all !

If you have heard the famous speech of Steve Jobs you know what I mean by connecting the dots. If you haven't then I will only tell you that you are missing something..Go into the world of Google and search for it and watch it or read it today!
The reason I built this context is that I recently understood the magic of how the dots connect.Recently a friend of mine was asked to move out of her job after she served the organization for 4 long years . The reason stated was parity..when I spoke to her I realized this had happened to me however in a different way . In my case I had communicated to my ex employer that my goals were different than the companies and they realized that we would only be wasting precious time through this association. We finally separated and it has turned out very well for me. I received what I exactly wanted to do and realized that its only till the time that it hits you that you actually understand .
My friend was very rightly advised that , when your back is to the wall , the only way you can move is forward.

Forgotten strengths

2010-12-20T23:27:00.000-08:00

We are a part of the universe that has created us with immense internal strength. It is we who either sideline or forget our strengths. We become the creation of our constant conditioning. It is when we blossom and look for the strengths that we find it. When we read and explore the stories of those who found their talents , it explains how we can move out of the cucoon into the world of that we create
As conditioned human beings we all are subject to the thoughts that our elders and dear ones believe in . But creation is waiting to happen once we move into the conciousness of our strengths
Just the way we as human beings condition animals to behave as pets we too are conditioned into this world. Even a mighty elephant once born is strongly bound with iron shackles , even if he tries to run , he fails. But as he gets more strong , his conditioning gets stronger.. man ties him down with a frail stick but does he try to escape into freedom ..the answer is a big NO. Are we not the ones who are the superior specie that thinks.. then why do we doubt more than we trust.
Lets get free and discover ourselves like babies do.Remember you are strong!!

Beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder ?? or does it lie within ?

It would seem like this should be the easiest thing to do . But I suggest you try it.

This is for all the sisters and brothers who think that God didnt spend enough time on them as much as he spent on Aishwarya Rai or Priyanka Chopra :)

Are you the type of person that wants to do everything for another person ? Are you the person who fishes for compliments ? Would you look into the mirror and say I think I am looking pretty instead of saying I am pretty ?

Today I read a description of a character in my book and wow! the picture that emerged in my mind was gorgeous .

Its much easier to write about feelings but to write about facts about simply looking at your own picture and writing down the features you think are the most awesome in you is a tough job .

I am doing this for myself .Its a creative way to actually feel at peace and to love your self.

Do this for your self.. its a wow experience.. then put me a comment on how you felt .

The 'X' Factor

'Your weakness is what you look for in their strengths'

I had this very random thought and I was awed by the beauty of how profound it sounded.

When we make choices whether it be job , a partner , a friend ; we generally are looking for somethings ..some criteria. We shortlist this criteria on the basis of what we think of ourselves.

These are mainly the areas in which we know that we can work singularly and in areas where we need others.

When we choose a job we study it and we look for aspects that will strengthen us, if ,we make a choice in the favor of the prospective organization.

When we decide that we want to marry a person we assess them behaviorally ( this may be a subconscious or a conscious process) eg. ( aggressive vs. composed )an aggressive person always thinks very highly of a person who can think it through and decide ...this is because he or she wants to be the other.This under current of respect and awe helps us make our choices .It is the 'X' factor.

Your mind controls the universe around you!

2010-11-09T21:17:00.000-08:00

What you say is what happens!

Its been a while since I am reading books with concepts about how we control our environment and our consequences. Thoughts like 'No Monkey( A law used in communication)' 'Law of Attraction ( Secret)' 'Alchemist' are very close. They are interrelated and all trying to achieve Positive thoughts to rotate around the mind. A dominant thought whether negative or positive becomes reality. I have faith in positive thinking and believe that no situation is hopeless.

Even if one has no faith in these theories and blames these thinkers for simplifying or alternatively complicating life, one can practice positive thoughts.

Its a bliss to have green gardens and beautiful flowers in your head a paradox to it is dark lanes scary faces and noises that give goose bumps

Try practicing it and consciously saying happy things, it works

The magic within

2010-11-01T23:14:00.000-07:00

'The kingdom of God lies within you' , this is a quote from the Bible . One of the many that help us make peace with ourselves. Life puts you at stops that confuse you to a stage of madness. This is when the magic within you reaches its peak , you need to hold on and speak to yourself. What you say to your self is the spell you cast on your self. The more your thoughts are positive the faster the magic happens.
This is an experience and you feel it only when you make an effort.
Man's body is an instrument, use it to create music within you and not noise. Speak slowly to your self and sing happy songs inside your mind.
Experience this and share your comments.
God bless

Human Behavior :
Scene 1: Anything unexpected happens and its your fault
Behavior: Panic
Scene 2: You cant make it right...
Behavior: Self Anger
Scene 3: You still cant make it right
Behavior : Blame game ( its because of anyone but me ...husband /job /even those who had no idea of this )
Scene 4: Prolonged Silence ..paying a price for your fault
Behavior: Self Realization

Moral of the story : Change is tough always at the beginning ..
Holding on is the best way as, 'man adapts to change.. It is in the core of his being'

Carpe Diem

2010-10-13T01:57:00.000-07:00

'Carpe Diem' is a Latin phrase that means "seize the day" ..a month back there was a training I attended and the trainer there mentioned that in mountaineering most accidents happen when you descend, reason being the mountaineer becomes more careless thinking that these are roads he has trekked before.

When the trainer said that, an image passed my mind , a close family friend expired some time back and his demise was a freak accident that occurred when he was in one of his treks, he reached the peak safely but when he reached there, he jumped of joy , that led to his demise as that caused an avalanche.
Very recently a friend introduced me to this term Carpe Diem and somehow all these remote experiences connected through this one word.

Life is short for some and its really prolonged for others ...What you make of it in this moment is what defines it. I choose to remember my friend for that one moment that he leaped in joy.
Hope this blog touches you deeply and I hope our strengths move to the family of my friend.

Its all you never wanted

Life has a great way of teaching you. Noticed this, time and again ..you come back to where you said no and see it becoming reality

As kids we make random statements, we out rightly reject things /options. Then as we grow older we see how those spaces are back and we have to deal with it . How what we say no to is today our reality. Life teaches, till you don’t learn. Its a tough teacher you fall many times sometimes because you are stubborn and sometimes because your not ready . Life prepares you , it helps you reach your self actualization.

But it does so only when you strive towards it ...This is a crazy game of pull and push. You push to achieve and that’s when life lets you down( pulls you down). Then amazingly one day it knocks on your door to inform you that its your turn, your 10 minutes of limelight. I have seen in my life that this happens when your least expecting it and when you have submitted and stopped fighting .Its essential to never stop trying giving life a chance to choose you. To be its student.

We continue to live, we continue to learn, we continue to realize how we are only waiting-striving for the right time when metamorphosis (caterpillar into butterfly) happens

Thoughts!

2010-09-26T06:21:00.000-07:00

There are times when I cant communicate and this is generally when my thoughts run faster than my words ..then there are times when my thoughts are mixed, they seek direction. There is so much to say and so much to find clarity on . In the recent past there have been so many thoughts which become plans and then you think now you know where you want to head towards ..and boom a month from it, your doing the same things sieving thoughts,making plans,making decisions and then you feel sure. This has been a long phase in my life , plans come and plans get pushed backward. Its been a lot of 'if and but' and when you think your ready to move and run , life slows you down , your plans don’t matter . Its amazing how small we are in this big world ...how we play with our thoughts and convince the world about it ...then one day when it happens ..these thoughts become reality. Till then we keep trying, keep putting the puzzle together to make the picture complete...We wait for the plans to become a part of our breath our being and then our friends and finally we reach destination. Patience is taxing and thats what you pay for your thoughts to turn into actions and reality. Godspeed till our plans turn to reality ;)
