What goes around comes around

Few days back I happen to take a wrong route , but through that wrong way I could discover one more short Cut . Similarly in life , sometimes we would have taken wrong paths knowingly or unknowingly but they would have taught us valuable lessons so that we don't make same mistakes again. So don't think too much about it and move ahead.

Heard a interesting talk , where  they were telling about Karmic account . That our life is based on Karmic account. So we don not have much control on what has happened in past . But the present is in our control . So lets create good account so that it doesn't affect us in the Future . Lets not create any bad account by means of words or thoughts or action to anyone  .What goes around comes around  . As you sow , so you reap .

Think Twice before Speaking

We need to think twice before talking  something . This article  explains it well .Link posted below .

http://www.womensweb.in/2014/12/marriage-and-pregnancy/

Unknowingly or knowingly , we talk things which hurt others . Little awareness can go a long way .
Lets be very careful in words which we use . Sometimes people can be very irritating , but still we need to remain cool .

During art excel program , Children  were taught about losing . We are always taught to win .No one teaches us what to do when we lose . We need to be stable . Sometimes you win and sometimes you make others Win . Either way you should be happy rather than getting a high when you win and going low when you lose . 

We need to let go of people who don't respect us or who are friends with us  only if we we do something to them . We need to know the difference between real friends and false ones.

Drama of Life

Volunteering for Art excel program ( Workshop for Kids) is a amazing experience . Being with Kids feels like a child again . Best way to spend my vacation .

Beautiful article in Times of India regarding wonderful gifts we can give ourselves . Every time  we think of gifting others .This new year , lets gift ourselves  .Link posted below .

Another interesting thing which I heard today was  early morning ( just after we get up ) amd late night ( just before we go to sleep ) . Lets not feed our mind anything negative . It could be in the form of news , newspaper or television serials or movies . Lets instead feed something positive . It could be a good book which inspires us or a good audio program which uplifts us .

Participating in fashion show was a fun  experience . Can we do the same in real life also ? Lets be a witness to everything rather than getting so much attached to things and people . Lets play our role wisely , giving our 100% . It could be the role of employee or a employer or a daughter or a son or a friend whatever it is . Lets just play our part in the drama of life not worrying too much and remaining stable .

Merry Christmas

Yesterday my cab driver was asking me what s the significance of Christmas , I told him its just another festival  which is the birthday of Jesus Christ. Digging deep later , even I was thinking about its significance and  who better than Sri Sri to answer my query and I think I got my perfect answer .

Another beautiful poem which my colleague had written for Christmas . Posting it here .

Christmas… A Real One..

This Life...Is it Worth Living This Life...
Did any hour, any minute, any second has had its worth...

             Joy to the World the Lord is Come..
            Lets Make This Christmas a Real Fun. ....

Lets Bring a Smile on a Child's Face..,
Who never had a Christmas Cake.

           Lets Make an Old Man Cross a Street.,
           Who never had the Santa's Treat.

Lets Make a Girl go to School.,
And break the Rigid Rules...

        Lets Laugh with an Old Couple.,
       Love them like an Angel.

Lets Ring the Jingle Bell..
In the House of a Poor Men...

      Lets Make this Christmas 
       Make a Real Difference.

Author,  Neha Donald 

"Christmas celebrations bring lights, joy and love at that time of the year when nature is still and silent. This symbolizes the message that love springs forth when the mind goes within, in stillness and silence.

When the crying and dependent child (little mind) rests in the lap of the mother (big mind or the universal self), that is heavenly peace or meditation.
This is the eternal message of christmas.

There is much to be done to spread waves of peace and happiness, the real gifts of Christmas! Let us share these gifts with the world!  "-Sri Sri 

Enthusiasm

Had a amazing Session with Bau or Bawa on Sunday , He is one of the senior most teachers of AOL . There is never a boring moment when he is around . He is one person who is so full of energy and enthusiasm . I did learn yesterday never to put cold water on anybody s enthusiasm . 
We should be someone who never loses  our smile or enthusiasm , come what may . Not an easy task though .

Bau was telling in this time , getting to find calm  state of mind after doing half an hour of SKY ( Sudarshan Kriya ) is itself a miracle.Take life as a game . We need to get over the fear of failing and move ahead . He was telling most of the Non Government Organizations today treat you only if you are insane , alcoholic , smoker etc . But AOL is for normal people like you and me who are sane .You  don't have to be in depression to do AOL course .Its for normal people who want to experience a different high.

If you always wanted to do something nice for your kids or your cousins . Wonderful opportunity is here . Amazing Course for Kids . Details in the pic below .Do enroll them . Best gift you can give them .

It is easier said than done

One of my friend s whatsapp Status  is " It is easier said than done " . It is kind off true . Still a beautiful article on heart break by one of my favorite writers Vinita Dawra Nangia . Link to the post mentioned below .

http://blogs.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/O-zone/to-heal-a-broken-heart/

In radio  , I was listening to a program where they were telling about EX BOX . I repeat ex box not  the game . Is it good to have a box with old memories , snaps etc . I personally think its a bad Idea .Its better to delete everything and Move on . Start fresh focusing on the present rather than hanging on to the past.

Some of the lines from the post

"Well, to begin with, it is important to understand that the heart never gets broken; it may get chipped, but most often the chip you are dealing with is on your shoulder"

"The secret then to moving on is to focus on what was always wrong with the relationship, rather than what was good about it. It was bad for you, so it broke; relationships that are good for us seldom break in this manner."

The rest of the tricks to moving on are known to all :

 immerse yourself in work and hobbies; 

hang out with friends;

count your blessings;

list the things and people important to your well-being; 

boost your morale, 

and re-energise yourself by looking your best, 

walking your tallest and acting your most confident.

"Forgive the one who betrayed you, but do not forget the betrayal. Give up on the relationship ­ but never give up on love."

It happens for a Reason

Latest book which I read is " It happens for a Reason " by Preeti Shenoy .  Must read book . Very well written . Somewhere all of us can relate a lot to it . Lot of things happen in our life , sometimes we never realize why but later someday it unfolds itself . Everything happens for a reason . Believe in it .

   Like how we maintain our physical hygiene , we need to maintain Spiritual Hygiene . Yoga ,Pranayams take care of Spiritual Hygiene .  We  can imagine our life with 2 gardens . One garden is the materialistic garden and the other one is Spiritual Garden . Most of us take care of the materialistic Garden . We work on our career , make money sometimes even forget family and friends . Other Garden is the Spiritual Garden which we tend to ignore . We don't reflect on whats happening in our life. Life should be combination of both . Both needs to balanced well . We need to take care of our spiritual as well as materialistic garden .

 So many diseases  like depression , heart diseases etc  today are because we haven't taken care of our Spiritual Needs . Lets have a balance of both .

 "Not all the problems you have in life are because of some past life karma, quite a few are because of your stupidity in this life!" -Sri Sri

Too many thoughts going on in my mind . Some call me a dreamer or a thinker , but I like to reflect upon everything . First of all , I would like to share a video .

Yogathon

Surya Namaskar or Sun Salutation , its a beautiful yogasana which I have been learning from School . I think all schools should make Yoga Mandatory  .

If you have been thinking of weight loss , then this is the best way .

Let Go

“The truth is, unless you let go, unless you forgive yourself, unless you forgive the situation, unless you realize that the situation is over, you cannot move forward.” 
― Steve Maraboli, Unapologetically You: Reflections on Life and the Human Experience

Many times we have heard it to let go . Sometimes it becomes really difficult to let go of things . May be because of security , comfort in it. We know its not the best thing for us but we still hang on to it. It could be a relationship which is not going anywhere or a job which is not meaningful , whatever  it is , it is important to let go .

Even in a circus trapeze , person performing has to let go of one rope to hold on to another . Similarly in life too , we need to let go of certain things to hold on to new things . If our fists are closed  , we can't catch hold of other stuffs. We  need to let it go to hold new opportunities .  Initially it mite be little scary , but its worth it .

How to Live

Couldn't stop sharing it . Its such a beautiful video . We need to watch it again and again to get a grip of it . Link posted below

http://www.ndtv.com/article/offbeat/this-beautiful-letter-from-a-grandfather-is-a-lesson-on-how-to-live-629805?via=whatsapp

Some habits which can be annoying , Sometimes we may do it unknowingly , lets at least be aware of it.

1. Talking loudly on phone . I know sometimes we may not realize how disturbing it can get to the other person . So consciously lets make an effort to go away somewhere and then talk . If you can't move away , talk softly .

2.Seeing your phone or messaging  when someone is talking to you . If its  so essential , do excuse yourself and then do the needful . We need to give 100% to other individual who is talking unless and until the other person is boring you.

3.Being Rude to People : I'm  not saying we should be very sweet and all . But we need to be little more polite to people . We never know what each one is going through . Sometimes unknowingly we become rude in social media  like whatsapp , Facebook  because we can't see the individuals  . So be more careful on what words you use .

4. Stop Cribbing and Complaining : Again we may not realize how much we are doing it . One day probably we can have a check on it .

5. Talking too much : We talk , talk and talk . Lets learn to be silent some time and listen to our inner voices which has all the answers to our problems .We keep on asking one and all without realizing we can provide the best solutions since we know the problem well.  .

Here and There

One of my friend was stating that one of her colleague is having attitude . She doesn't smile back at her and she is little disappointed about it. Probably something which all of us have faced . There are some people however good we are to them , they remain  like that. I told her just forget about it and move on  . We can't make everyone to like us . Instead Focus on developing yourself . Be physically , mentally and Spiritually Healthy . Its more important to work towards your goal and try to make this place a better place to live .

Some tips on Relationship which I found it very fruitful from the book Tuedays with Morrie by Mitch Albom.

There are a few rules I know to be true about love and marriage: 

If you don't respect the other person, you're gonna have a lot of trouble.

 If you don't know how to compromise, you're gonna have a lot of trouble.

 If you can't talk openly about what goes on between you, you're gonna have a lot of trouble. 

And if you don't have a common set of values in life, you're gonna have a lot of trouble. Your values must be alike.

Protect Yourself

I was little upset by some people s behavior but then whats the point in being upset . Better solution  is protecting ourselves . Its like if a flood comes , Government  takes lot of precaution steps to prevent floods but a better solution would be to protect from disasters rather than just floods . May be next time , it could be a earth quake . Similarly we need to protect  ourselves from creating hurt  because of so  and so person etc . Life is not meant for that .  We can't keep begging everyone to speak nicely . How  many people can we go around telling ? Please speak to me well else I ll create hurt.

There are lots of things going on each person s mind and we never know about it . They mite speak  rudely . It has nothing to do with you .   Protect yourself and don't be upset for other people s behavior . Move on . Don't interfere too much in other people s lives unless they want you to involve . Don't give your opinions freely . In case if they ask you , you can share stating its your opinion but they can choose to do  whatever they would like to do.
