Today is a beautiful day..

Hmmm..it reminds me about a story which my granny used to tell & i wanna share it here.

A blind boy sat on the steps of a building with a hat by his feet. He held up a sign which said: "I am blind, please help." There were only a few coins in the hat. A man was walking by. He took a few coins from his pocket and dropped them into the hat.He then took the sign, turned it around, and wrote some words. He put the sign back so that everyone who walked by would see the new words. Soon the hat began to fill up.A lot more people were giving money to the blind boy. That afternoon the man who had changed the sign came to see how things were. The boy recognized his footsteps and asked, "Were you the one who changed my sign this morning? What did you write?" The man said, "I only wrote the truth. I said what you said but in a different way." What he had written was: "Today is a beautiful day and I cannot see it." Do you think the first sign and the second sign were saying the same thing? Of course both signs told people the boy was blind. But the first sign simply said the boy was blind. The second sign told people they were so lucky that they were not blind. Should we be surprised that the second sign was more effective?

Moral of the Story: Be thankful for what you have.. Be creative. Be innovative. Think differently and positively.

Face your past without regret. Handle your present with confidence. Prepare for the future without fear. Great men say, "Life has to be an incessant process of repair and reconstruction, of discarding evil and developing goodness. In the journey of life, if you want to travel without fear, you must have the ticket of a good conscience.."

New year:with Direction & Hope

Ahh, a new year brings in new energy, new goals, and new beginnings! With a new beginning comes aggressive conscious New Year Resolution goals such as stop smoking, a new job, new relationships, losing weight, not being lazy and so on. On a conscious level, the person has made a decision to conquer their issue and has the energy and motivation to fuel this endeavor which is wonderful. The problem is that on an unconscious level there are energetic imprints that must be removed such as blockages and impediments to succeeding. The unconscious mind holds all awareness that is not presently in the conscious mind. All memories, feelings and thoughts are by definition "unconscious." It is the source and storehouse of our emotions; and it is often considered our connection with Spirit.

People have lot of new year wishes & resolutions but achieving your resolutions does not need to be an individual affair. You will stand a much greater chance of success if you have family and friends who support your cause. It doesn't help if you are trying to lose weight and your family is having fast food for dinner every day. And it doesn't help if you are trying to be an early riser but your family goes to bed way past midnight.

I have my own pledges in 2009 and till now have seen lot of ups –downs & I know how to make them happen coz if I look back any time I should have something to say about my life & what I have done so far.So Talk to people in your life about what you are trying to achieve and see how they can give you both moral and tangible support.

After all
Life is like a taxi. The meter just keeps a-ticking whether you are getting somewhere or just standing still.
