Power of WORDS

One cannot but wonder how WORDS spoken by some one some where some time remains in the minds of people long after and get quoted again and again . What strikes a choed within you depends on person to person. for example, i have always been impacted by any idea or concept that changes the status quo. Some of the WORDS that have impacted me so far include:

Never, never, never give up

You are what you THINK

KARMA

What got you here will not get you there

A picture is worth a thousand words

.... and so on

Thousands of years after they lived, we still quote BUDDHA, KRISHNA, JESUS, MOHAMMED, SOCRATES, and others , is it not amazing !!!!

Even in day to day life, a word of encouragement, a smile, a gesture of love, makes a huge difference.

Since WORDS are so powerful, lets exercise restraint with words of anger, hatred, discouragement.

If you have to speak, speak with love else practise the maxim SILENCE IS GOLDEN

ENJOY LIFE

why do we write at all ? when i think of it, i feel it is because we are born to express ourselves. come do it through singing, some through dance, some through their speech, and some write. Expressing what is inside yourself allows others to peek into our world , as everyone lives in his or her own world. Your own world is a collection of places, events, feelings, things,  people from your past and present, and it keeps evolving into the future as we live each day. we spend our lives talking about the past and keep hoping that the future will be even better. one does not realise, but everything is changing around us, including ourselves. This CHANGE is what we need to embrace whether we always like it or not, as this is the most universal phenomenon in human life. Every scenario has a finite probability. if you are friends with some one, tomorrow you may not. if you are not well, you may get better tomorrow. if you do not have lots of money, you may earn tomorrow or otherwise. so be prepared to enjoy the MOVIE of LIFE, where the story changes on the fly , there is no prewritten script, the beginning , middle and end are all unpredictable. Imagine a movie where the next scene is being written out while the current scene is flashing on the screen and you will know what i am talking about. ENJOY LIFE

I am grateful

I am grateful to see the sunrise today, feel the winter morning breeze on my face as I rode my bicycle, then the crisp newspaper in my hand while sipping tea , the satisfaction you get after a wholesome breakfast, the good feeling you get when some one calls you after a long time, the passing of the day into the night , there are just so so many things to be grateful for, what a miracle this life is

START IT , NOW !!

The hardest part in anything is the START. there are many impediments to STARTING some thing new, some of them are

1) this is difficult
2 what if i fail ?
3) what will others say ?
4) is it worth the effort ?
5) are the results guaranteed ?
6) i have not done it before
7) there are others who can do it much better than i can
8) i wish i had done it earlier
9) can i postpone it to some time later ?
10) what is the price for not doing it ?

if you can get over all the above reasons and START , u can DO IT

life without regrets

Life is wonderful if one can remove all traces of regret. the challenge is that you cannot

2012

2012 is coming to an end, and the new year beckons us to a fresh start with new thoughts , new words, new actions and new habits. come to think of it, every breath we take can be a start to a new LIFE

change

change involves two aspects , one is that of giving up and other is that of taking up. so if some one spends his   idle time smoking, he needs to give up smoking and also what he will now do in the time that got freed up. interestingly, everything changes eventually , its only whether you be a participant in the change or you are simply an observer or you are opposing the change.

bringing about a change in the way we think, we act is a big ability especially when you are trying to influence others' thoughts and actions
