Transformed Relations

Our personality is our self representation, a dynamic and organized set of characteristics possessed by us that influences our reactions and replies to realities.

Nature and Nurture decide our current state of personality. Nature completes its part as soon as we receive genetic imprints but Nurturing is a life long process.

One of my good friends has put relations and nurturing in very nice way. She believes that relation is a plant that gets nurtured by mutual understanding. It is like planting seeds, continuously nurturing them and growing with them over the period of time. Nurturing relations not only make relation strong but also transform our personalities with qualitative changes.

Wish you fun filled weekend with friends!

Block building

Each one of us has some or other mental block. The block which stops the person from thinking in certain direction, from acting in certain manner, from moving ahead!

“I would love to top; but Maths is just beyond my brains!”
“I just can’t control my temper in such condition!”
“I love to go to movies; but I don’t have time!”
“I want to be happy; but the world is too cruel!”

Think for 3 minutes and you would have a small list of your personal self -nurtured blocks. These blocks prevent you from being what you like to do, what you desire to be.
Just try to push the block a little, and you will start building a structure of your limitless and self achieved happiness.

A childhood story:

Several deers were brought from jungle to zoo and kept into fence. They tried hard to break the fence for days but failed and lost courage. Then they begun to adjust within the fence and didn’t bother to come even near to the fence. On one sunny day, the fence was removed. Everyone expected the deers to run away. But they didn’t… The fence built in their mind was much stronger now!!!

Aren’t we slightly more intelligent than deers?

Journey

Truth

We often play with many life matters and consider them as lie or dream or unknown and do not put even tiny effort to discover the truth. We just ignore them and throw them in the dust bin right next to the corner of our inactive brain cells and slowly those truths get buried under the crappy illusive concepts we possess in the same corners of memory. Nothing to loose as such …we can still survive in illusions, lies and falsities but surely a life not worth lived.

Let’s walk through unknown paths, seek truth, uncover love for truth, enjoy truth and share truth with the world.

A fresh week ahead..wish you good omens for seeking truths of your life! Enjoy!

Have a nice week!

Gift and Love

When Sudama (Krishna’s friend in epic Mahabharata) had decided gift for his best friend Krishna, history observed one of the rarest expression of love and friendship where the expression and acceptance of love (Gift) was not something like a billion dollar flat or a charter plane or a Mercedes S class or diamond necklace or not even some fancy paper wrapped huge gift box but was just handful of rice!

Handful of rice could serve as a lofty love expression because relation between Sudama and Krishna is absolutely egoless with no wanting and only selfless giving.

With Love,

Character

This Life Mantra is in sync with an earlier one which stated “Intellect without character reflects deceptive and untrustworthy personality”. Often we have seen people who are high on Intelligence Quotient and talent which help them achieve success in a short span of time. But after acquiring success they tumble down due to certain factors like -

1) Success goes into their head.
2) They were parvenus who were unable to digest sudden riches.
3) They start resting on their past laurels.

These all depicts a low character borne by a person which ultimately results in to his downfall. One known example for this could be – many cricketers who come from lower-middle class or middle class families hit few good strokes; their performance is blown out of proportion (media hype) and then their performance goes down drastically because they get addicted to parties, alcohols, girls, fame and making more money through advertisements. In this they lose touch over practice and finally they tumble down and are immediately written off!!!

Self Love

Every one of us likes to be praised, to be listened to, to be spoken to with respect, experiencing success at work, having trustworthy friends and many such things in life. But have we ever thought that how can we get all this?
Most of us feel that we are being harshly criticized, ignored or teased, and always cry for our failures. This all happens because we think that our failed experiences are the failures of our own self. We never learn to respect our self so the people around also disrespect us. For most of us, feelings and thoughts about our self fluctuate based on our daily experiences like we feel bad when we get low grades in exams, we feel hurt when friends mistreat us, the ups and downs in professional or personal surroundings. This all collectively impact our wellbeing.

The core problem why this happens with us is that we don’t love, trust and believe in our self. Our self-esteem should be strong enough to give us the strength to fight against not only these normal ups and downs that comes from the situational changes but should prepare us to tackle most complex problems of our lives. God has made every human being special and so we should respect his creativity. Every one of us should possess the specific feelings of self esteem, self confidence and self-competence which can lead us to the path of happiness and success. For people with good basic self-esteem, the normal ups and downs may lead to temporary fluctuations in their lives and that too to a limited extent but for people with poor basic self-esteem, these ups and downs make all the difference in the world. All of us should listen to our inner voice and follow it because it gives us the strength to fight against all odds. This would help us live a happy and satisfied life. We can never feel lonely if we start liking our self because if we think, we have so much to interact and discover about our own self. We should insist on knowing us more, loving us more, give more meaning to our lives and try and find the reason for our existence in this lovely world so that we can do justice to our birth and to the creator. We should believe in ours selves and learn to like ours selves.

Mathematics of Appreciation

If you can not appreciate, even after you feel , you got a serious issue, meet your doctor.

If you are expert in appreciation mathematics and can easily subtract honesty and heart, your friends and/or company should rethink about your admiration as mostly it is mere flattery.

Take a moment out of busy schedule and appreciate best creations.
