Do you wake up every day; look in the mirror, and say, “This is not the life I want?

“You gain strength, courage and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. 

You are able to say to yourself, 'I have lived through this horror. I can take the next thing that comes along.' You must do the thing you think you cannot do.” ~ Eleanor Roosevelt

“Man often becomes what he believes himself to be. If I keep on saying to myself that I cannot do a certain thing, it is possible

 that I may end by really becoming incapable of doing it. 

On the contrary, if I have the belief that I can do it, I shall surely acquire the capacity to do it even if I may not have it at the beginning.” ~ Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi

“Do you feel like you’re stuck in a rut? Do you wake up

“Bitterness is like cancer. It eats upon the host. But anger is like fire. It burns it all clean.” ~ Maya Angelou

“Certain people, in their eagerness to construct a world no external threat can penetrate build exaggeratedly high defense against the outside world, against new people, new places, and different experiences and leave their own world stripped bare.

“What does make life worth living?

“The purpose of life is a life of purpose. “ ~ Robert Byrne

“Life is the art of drawing without an eraser.” ~ John W. Gardner

“What does make life worth living? I think any question of what makes life worth living has to start with an inward look at one’s self, not an outward look at the people and things one surrounds one’s self with. Instead,
 I think we need to address the question with our own actions, the things we do that make life worth living. Choose Verbs, not nouns when you honestly answer that question. When I think of how I would answer the question,

“We must try to keep the mind in tranquility. For just as the eye which constantly shifts its gaze, now turning to the right or to the left, now incessantly peering up or down, cannot see distinctly what lies before it, but

A heart rending story that will make tears flow from your eyes. It did to me!

“You may not always have a comfortable life and you will not always be able to solve all of the world's problems at once but don't ever underestimate the importance you can have because history has shown us that courage can be contagious and hope can take on a life of its own.” ~ Michelle Obama 

I have seen many people being egocentric and proud because of their social and financial status and professional abilities. For me all this come to a big naught. Never underestimate the talent and creative powers of the weak, the poverty stricken, and

Consulting your heart and mind, is making choices from a place of balance

"Consulting Heart and Mind, is Making Choices From a Place of Balance" ~ 

It is important to make decisions from a place of balance in your life by taking a breath and checking in with heart and mind.

Each of the myriad decisions we make every day has the potential to have a deep impact on our lives. Some choices touch us to our very cores, awakening poignant feelings within us. Others seem at first to be simple but prove to be confusingly complex. We make the best decisions when we

Great things can come out of solitude

“All humans are frightened of their own solitude. But only in solitude can we learn to know ourselves, learn to handle our own eternal aloneness.” ~ Han Suyin

“Each of us is alone in the world. It takes great courage to meet the full force of your aloneness .… When you face your aloneness, something begins to happen. Gradually, the sense of bleakness changes into a sense of true belonging. This is a slow and open-ended transition but it is utterly vital in order to come into rhythm with your own individuality.“ ~ John O'Donohue

What's missing in many people's beliefs about success?

“Freedom is not worth having if it does not include the freedom to make mistakes.” ~ Mahatma Gandhi

“It's never easy to admit you've made a mistake, but it's a crucial step in learning, growing, and improving yourself. You have to examine, among other things, how to learn from your mistakes. You can only learn from a mistake after

So who’s in control of your life? Who’s pulling your strings?

“Most people are other people. Their thoughts are someone else’s opinions, their lives a mimicry, their passions a quotation.” ~ Oscar Wilde

“The eyes of others our prisons; their thoughts our cages.” ~ Virginia Woolf

We are so desperate for the approval of others that we live unhappy and limited lives, denying huge swathes of ourselves and failing to do the things we really want to do because we’re worried about what other people will think. Just as drug addicts and alcoholics live impoverished lives to keep getting their fix, so we impoverish

Explore yourself, discover your purpose of life and live your passion.

"Life is indeed difficult, partly because of the real difficulties we must overcome in order to survive, and partly because of our own innate desire to always do better, to overcome new challenges, to self-actualize. Happiness is experienced largely in striving towards a goal, not in having attained things, because our nature is always to want to go on to the next endeavor." ~ Albert Ellis, Michael Abrams,

“The meaning of life is a life of meaning. Until you discover the purpose of your life, you are living a life of mediocrity. Rise and

Success usually comes to those who are too busy to be looking for it."

“Diligence is the mother of good fortune, and idleness, 

its opposite, never brought a man to the goal of any of his best wishes.” ~ Miguel De Cervantes.

"Success usually comes to those who are too busy to be looking for it." ~ Henry David Thoreau

"If you want something, work for it and do not stop. That’s how you create your own luck. Whether you were born into a rich family or a poor one, whether you are innately talented or not, whether you have charisma and charm or you are a tongue-tied nerd, it doesn’t matter. I’m not saying it wouldn’t be nice to be rich, talented, and charismatic, but you can succeed without them, and you’ll appreciate it all the more. All you have to do is hang on even after others have let go. Don’t bemoan your fate. No one is born into a perfect family. Don’t complain about lack of resources. Allah created this world and everything in it, and laid it at your feet. If you’re facing the right direction, you can reach anywhere in the world if you keep on walking.

Whoever said that opportunity knocks once must not have been paying attention, because opportunities come along all the time? It’s just that you have to listen for them, and you must lay the groundwork so that you are ready when the knock comes. Diligence; and its only diligence that pays. Focus on your goal, work hard, don’t give up… be as persistent as the sun. Sometimes the sun is hidden behind clouds, but it’s there every day. It’s okay to have days when you’re tired, when it seems hopeless, when you wish life would give you a break, but just keep showing up every day and doing the work, and your break will come.

Those, who work diligently, not only achieve their goals and get success, but also remain happy, cheerful and active, which is itself a great reward even if the work does not bring success. Idleness or laziness is worse as it brings Jealousy, gloom, frustration, depression which are more degrading than the failure itself. There can't be any short cut to success. The toil of years, the sweat of your brow, struggle you make, everything counts in achieving the goal. Looking at the biographies of great men, we find that the most of the successful persons whether inventors, artists, scientists, technocrats, sculptures, thinkers, leaders and workers of any kind, owe their success to their indefatigable hard work and dedication. They were the men who achieved their success with dedication, devotion and true hard work. This really holds that the secret of success consisted in being master of our subject. Such mastery is attainable through continuous application and study.

Diligence requires applying self-discipline, persistence and generous amounts of motivation. It's often associated with the development of character. There is a fourth ingredient suggested by diligence and that's paying attention. Being diligent we pay attention to the work needed to take us where we want to go. We break down our goal into doable steps and then we diligently follow through by implementing those steps. Diligence is a powerful expression of caring. By being diligent we show we care about the task at hand, and by extension, we show we care for our goal as well. Diligence is what enables us to use our time effectively to actually create the change we want. It enables us to actually walk the stepping stones of out-of-the-mind self improvement and motivation.

Excellence is an ever approaching target. One who put his best in pursuit of excellence, he reaches nearer to goal. Full dedication, high degree of devotion, cuts the time to half. A glimpse of history tells us that all the successful personalities were determined and devoted fully to achieve whatever they thought or desired. Enthusiasm is the best asset of a person, self-determination and hard work, could achieve anything. Failure of any kind do not deter them but make them fiercer and dedicated to achieve the goal. Failures are natural happenings, every successful man faced failures of many kinds but they worked with more enthusiasm, more determined zeal, analyzed their shortcomings and tried again and got success. Those who consider themselves born to ill luck, very aptly assume that all their failures and misfortunes are because of their hard luck. They don't analyze their weaknesses, shortcomings and lack of efforts but lament for their ill fate. Fate is nothing but a creation of an idle fancy, an invention of superstitious brains.

One should not trifle away the importance of intelligence, along with diligence. Labour and hard work pays when apply intelligently and analytically. Just as diligence alone can't help in achieving success, in the same way intelligence alone can't help in making one successful. It is the result of both diligence and intelligentsia, which makes a man successful. Taking right decision, at right time, in a right manner means the Intelligentsia and putting hard work to achieve a goal, undaunted by the problems with positive thinking and iron will means diligence. No doubt diligence is very necessary for the success but intelligent decision is again an important factor that can't be ignored. We know so many daily wage earners toiling hard day and night to earn their livelihood. can't be termed as successful, but a person putting little labour and managing the things properly, earning handsomely is a successful man. Thus not only diligence but intelligentsia is also necessary for the success in life.

Therefore friends, never lament about your pitiful fate for that is not your life, to cry and lament over your failures. If you are experiencing failures then it is high time to analyze them and take corrective measures and discover another way to soar high and make a mark in life so as to become a beacon of love, kindness and compassion."

The soul is the source of all reality, but the domain of the soul is beyond your everyday reality.

“Extreme difficulties should be regarded as a compliment for it is a sign that you're a soul, being tested to see if you're ready to rise to the next level towards spirituality.” ~ Anthony Sunny Kunneth

"There is an ancient saying from India about the soul: “Fire cannot burn it, water cannot wet it, wind cannot dry it and weapons cannot cleave it. It’s ancient, it’s unborn, and it never dies.” The soul is the source of all reality, but the domain of the soul is beyond your everyday reality.

Experience your soul. By spending time in silence, by

See what your misery is, what desires are causing it, and why you are clinging to those desires?

"A desire to be observed, considered, esteemed, praised, beloved, and admired by his fellows is one of the earliest as well as the keenest dispositions discovered in the heart of man." ~ John Adams.

"Manifest plainness, embrace simplicity, reduce selfishness, have few desires." ~ Lao Tzu.

"Life should be simple, not complex. Life should be based on needs, not on desires. Needs are perfectly okay: you need food, you need clothes, you need a shelter, you need love, and you need relationship. Perfectly good and there is nothing wrong in it. Needs can be fulfilled; desires are basically not fulfillable. Desires create complexity. They create complexity because
