Are heros born? or made?

Here are 2 examples of brilliance in performance recently and it's just the start of unthinkable work ...

Virat Kohli broke his own records and matched highest record of centruries and stand shoulder by shoulder with Sachin Tendulkar ... 

It took someone years to break such record.. if Sachin is God then Virat is incomparable...

There is no last n highest record... Every record can be broken... True dedication and hardwork can do anything...

There is nothing that u achieved is new... Someone has already done it... And there ll be someone who will do it better...

And it's not chasing to make highest scores or highest to your limits... It's just keep improving and make your better each n every day...

.

Another is Glenn Maxwell...

 Broke records and human capabilities limits... 

Despite of severe cramps , where he couldn't even move. He didn't quit... Game was over his full team gave up... But he stood still n made 201 runs all by himself... Its freaking to even think of such task ..

But it's "determination , perseverance and passion" that made you do such incredible things. 

These great men are not just born today... They do hard work with determination again n again each and every day... More than you think... It's not one thing they work on.. it's multiple aspects they look upon...

They don't just hope... They believe in their work! 

We are fragile or we just keep ourselves in a boundary or limitations where you just don't let yourself go any extra mile... Ohh I am having a hard day and now I can't study or I am tiered of my 9-5 job now I can never achieve my other dreams... We conveniently leave our dreams, interests , creativity to live in our comfort zones...

change your glasses

Life is how you take it... 

I could have taken this incident in another way n could have ruined my life over it... 

Instead i saw the potential in me n need of change to be done... 

I saw the heart of a powerfull man which is Genreally overlooked by power gives only pride... 

But i saw how if we work with our hearts and are kind to all beings... We create a better place for ourselves and others... 

It not just influence our lives but million others... 

With power comes great responsibility and a great challenge for a person to be grounded.

.

I believe where there is will there is a way... And i will work hard and make my dream come true... For all others around me who needs it.

Balki Vo jo haar Maan Jaate hai...

Udaan sapno mai nahi Hauslo mai hoti hai...

Zindagi Acha aur bura nahi samjhtin... 

Vo Bas satulan samjhta hai...

life goes on

What if tree told it's leaves to stay as to they are dear to it dead or alive.. 

We would be living in dead trees world... 

Nature teaches us a very valuable lesson here to let go what doesn't serve us... 

Death and life is a cycle and every thing which gets life go towards death and one who welcomes death is the winner... 

In the end "life goes on".

let it flow

The largest part of what we call ‘personality’ is determined by how we’ve opted to defend ourselves against anxiety and sadness.”

.

Understanding the fact that you cannot control your life... Flow in life is important and u have to let go every small details u hold is important ....everything Wheather it's just the way you like your coffee or way someone is sitting... Let go each detail.. 

.

journey or destination

Sometimes i just feel i am anxiously running n searching for something... Home!  But i never found... Not even such a place...  I think i ll never find such thing... I ll have to create one inside me. 

.

He says i want to love someone like u love me...  What a wierd feeling that puts in u... 

.

Expect to accept... Journey is tougher than pronunciation. 

.

Sometimes all u ll get is journey.... Without destination...  U ll have to learn to enjoy journey... Coz sometimes death is the only destination u got.

healthy living

Eating healthy is hard. Meditating is hard. Exercising is hard. Changing oneself is hard. Cultivating a fulfilling relationship is hard. Building a successful business is hard. Being a good parent is hard.

The trick is, if you can learn to love the feeling of making effort in the right direction, of being challenged and stretched, then there is nothing you cannot achieve. You will have many things that others wish but can’t achieve—like health, wealth, love, self-mastery, fulfilment, “success”.

Let’s take the example of better health and losing weight, with the efforts needed being exercise and dieting.

What you need to do is try to go to the gym with a glad attitude in your heart. Then, during exercise, tell yourself how good it feels—and try to feel it. After you’re finished, pay attention to any positive sensations or emotions that come up as a result of that effort. With a bit of practice, you will actually start liking it, and then your goals will be more easily achieved—without so much struggle

self worth!!!

We don't need others to dictate our self-worth 

.

In the era of social media this is the first problem we are facing : 

Our sense of self worth is validated by others by likes, dislikes, by comments, by how someone is reacting ,by how your popularity is growing . 

It's really important to know we don't need others to be happy we need to love ourselves to be happy.....

The more you show your life here the more you will develop anxiety for "what others think " 

If you are thinking "no i am not into this trap"...  Think again.. 

Remember how you checked constantly who is liking your photos on facebook... 

Remember telling your friends to like your posts and comment on them...  So that you can become popular... 

And tik-tok which made people famous in their own world...  N makes you forget where real world actually lies... 

.

Pause for a few days from social media and you will know... You are actually not that popular, liked, n wowed by people...  They just scroll up things n you gained just fraction of their distracted attention... That made you happy for a while and sad by seeing someone else gaining more popularity... 

Such things were previously only seen in public figures... But it's increasing in normal population... 

.

Now you need someone to shake you up and say...  Hello,  you are beautiful inside and nobody needs to tell you this... You need to feel this. You don't need a validation from others.

protection or bondage?

 

I am a girl and i want to ask you....

Why a girl needs permission? From parents or from husband? Or in laws?

Why it's other people who tells us what we can't do.?

Girls can't wrestle, can't fight, can't drive properly, can't.... Oh bloody can't...

Why my dreams are harder to fulfill than yours?

Why I have to rely on someone else for my life decisions?

Why there is a line for me?

Why I have been told my limitations?

Why there is to be difference between pursuing your life as a girl and as a guy?

Why you have to scare the girl to go out in this world?

Why can't I fight my own fight?

Why I need a man?

Why if I want to respect your decision... You can't respect my dreams?

Why my certain Dreams are valid and certain dreams are not valid.?

Why in life lessons I need to learn to sit at home,Take care of my family only?

Why you take hold on my life... While u are messed up in yours?

Why you are scare of a stronger girl?

Why you don't understand love and only understand rebel.

It's not just save girl child... You need to nurture her, educate her... And please when you do... Have faith and provide independence or it must be snatched.

Ask yourself ... are you protecting me>?? or keeping me in a bondage?

Every person is independent and have their rights to make their own decisions... When law permits it why can't you?

Don't Rott your plant by overprotecting it... Let it grow... Let it cut... Let it learn.

Who are you blaming?

Blaming is harming u!
All these years I learned a pattern of behavior ..
Blaming others… 
Not just for their behavior or things that I felt was wrong…
But due to this pattern formation… was blaming on things they did not do…
.
Maybe it’s not true you…
You might have learned this behavior from someone else… maybe a friend
Who had this pattern… or maybe a parent or sibling…
You took This pattern as a way to communicate ..
You might think it’s normal…
I used to think that too..
But what I could never understood that instead of helping or correcting the situation..other person doesn’t really behave the way I wanted… or better the other person felt guilt, anger and frustration..
Relationship becomes sour…
And you get into a loop of blaming - hurting- not accepting…
Because you were already hurt… then you  tried to tell the person what they did… n instead of help or betterment… situations get worse…
.
Now let’s see how it should be…
.
.
Keep reading my blog for solutions... I will be posting it in next blog...
Keep following...

Are you listening to yourself?

You become friends with someone...you like their company...slowly friendship grows...
And what you see is the charm is little but harm is more...
You find yourself in a place you don’t want to give up on friendship nor on yourself...
You stay there...you continue it...
It keeps harming you...keep making your life miserable...
But you are stick to your beliefs and you are trying to make it work again and again...
Trauma
Trauma
Trauma
Not only to you but to other person too...
Here comes the part where you tell yourself...i can’t handle it anymore and i need to move on in my life...
You can’t deal with day and night...
You guys might not be together...but your mind still works on the same path... so here comes 3 most powerful and hardest words of your life...
LET IT GO....
But how?? You like that person and you can live even miserably but can’t leave that person...
.
Still things continue at a small phase, silently outside ...loudly inside..
Here comes the life...
After few years you met another friend...we start living together...
So chilled! So anxious! So terrified!
Somehow that was the only good option in a new city...
Time passes by...and you realize...
You can be friend with other people..without toxicity ...
Without trauma... without battles... without blaming games...
And now those 3 words make sense to you. ..
LET IT GO!
And now you apply it...and slowly start your healing...
And realize you are lovable...you can live with other beings...you can live happily with other people...
You can laugh,tease be yourself and other people can handle it...
You can put your thought and other people can accept it...
It really takes a lot of effort to begin a new life...with new people...
But for your sake you need to put together everything and sometimes dump that shit out of your system to put your life back in order...
You owe to yourself...
.
It took me years to understand …
Those things which deny your peace and are not comfortable with your way of living doesn’t mean you are lacking anything ..
There are lots of people in the world and there are ones who resonate you and make you grow more…
It’s OK to end a relationship with anyone and listen to your inner self…
Listen to yourself…
You know from inside what is right and what feels wrong…
You know what is to be done..
You know what is good for you… but you need to listen to yourself first!
Don’t put your beliefs up and heart down..
Listen and work accordingly. .

I am sensitive!

I am sensitive!  A term commonly used these days by many of us.
We are sensitive to many things these days.... Memes, likes, accepted or rejected friend requests... If someone calls or not on your birthday...
Why he isn't available online?  Why he don't do what I do?

We became sensitive to simple 'no'...

Being sensitive is converting into being fragile....
Tolerance has been decreased. Women are so feminist these days they can't handle criticism. Patience of listening to others, respect of others opinions ...are rarely seen.

But they hurt my feelings!
If they are saying something about my personal life.... If they have opinions about me... Off course I am going to be reacting this way!
This is normal... If they will do that I will get angry...

Really?  Is it normal?
So by saying this you are saying... I don't have any control of any of my outcomes... It all depends on other people...
You gave all the power to that other person...
What you feel is determined by what they say.... Not what you actually feel!

We act without thinking, we react like a chemical.... So are you really sensitive or fragile?
One small needle and balloon bursts...

What to do?
Next time before reacting to something try to stop yourself for a moment and try to listen what other person is saying... Try to understand what and why he is saying that?
And then ask yourself does it really affect me?
Or its just an opinion or advice or a thought.

Being sensitive is the basic human nature... To be sensitive towards pain of others, towards animals.... Towards our relationships.
Be sure of what are you sensitive about!

Why love others?

It's very easy in today's world to hate someone, it seems hate is in the air...
You can see it everywhere.. People trolling each other on internet,  news industry,old gossip way,  criticizing others on the basis of their achievements.
Expect everyone to be like you... To like you... And many other form of hate,like..why she always post these stupid stuff on fb?
 Another picture of the couple you see on social media and you say I hate my life. Why he's achieving more than me? ugghh...hate and hate...

Yes it seems natural to hate someone... Than to love what they are, whatever their life is.
You know why?  Because you hate your life too... You hate yourself.
We just see our reflection in others...
A human mind notices only what he knows... And your mind knows you.
And because of these hatred... There are increasing number of mental disorders in the world.

So why to love? Who to love?
Love yourself.... As you are, no matter what comparisons says.
Love because you need it, the more you love... More happy you are..

But people take advantage of me? They cheat me... Why to love them?
Because it's their karma... Your karma is to love..and they will also change..
But don't love because you want them to change... Love because you can!
Love is the basic human nature...

Mind your thoughts next time you Scroll a picture on social media.... Are you saying... I am happy for them, it's good they are enjoying... Or uggh ugly face, ugly figure...

You are what you see in others!

mood problem?

The bed was warm. She cozied closer.

“Are you in the mood?”

I looked at her, my eyes wide in disbelief.

“What are you, on crack?” I asked. “Of course, I’m NOT in the mood.”

Who asks questions like that? It was cold outside, 18 degrees as I recall. And dark. Who wants to run in the cold and dark?

She was joking, of course. It’s not a question we ask… or entertain about our running. At least not often.

Because, for pursuits of any import, mood is irrelevant.

I’m rarely in the mood to go to the gym. I’m never in the mood to count my calories or sort my supplements. I’m only occasionally in the mood to run. Sometimes I’m in the mood to write. And sometimes not. I love to photograph. But I’m never in the mood to edit. I’m passionate about speaking. But the preparation is tedious.

Rory Vaden writes, “Simply stated, there are only two types of activities: things we feel like doing and things we don’t. And if we can learn to make ourselves do the things we don’t want to do, then we have literally created the power to create any result in our lives.”

Successful people do whatever they need to do to achieve their goals, regardless of how they “feel.”

“Successful people are successful because they form the habits of doing those things that failures don’t like to do,” said Albert Gray.

Form the habits of success. Dial in the gym, the run, the weekly planning, the healthy meals. Schedule and commit the time to write, to paint, to practice the instrument. Do what’s really important. Do it every day. Don’t think about it. Don’t analyze it. Don’t wonder about it. Don’t worry about it. Don’t re-consider it. Do it. Just do it. No matter what.

When was the last time you asked yourself whether you were “in the mood” to brush your teeth? What a ridiculous question to ask, you say. Make your habits of success like that.

The things that look effortless, the performances that are flawless, the achievements that astound (all those things you’re jealous of): they’re borne of countless hours of practice and preparation. Of doing. And doing again. And had nothing to do with mood.

So if the new business venture is on your list, or the MBA, or the 5k in the spring, now is the time to start.

I don’t care if you’re in the mood, or not.

insults

Near Tokyo lived a great Samurai, now old, who decided to teach Zen Buddhism to young people.

One afternoon, a warrior – known for his complete lack of scruples – arrived there. The young and impatient warrior had never lost a fight. Hearing of the Samurai’s reputation, he had come to defeat him, and increase his fame.

All the students were against the idea, but the old man accepted the challenge.

All gathered on the town square, and the young man started insulting the old master. He threw a few rocks in his direction, spat in his face, shouted every insult under the sun – he even insulted his ancestors.

For hours, he did everything to provoke him, but the old man remained impassive. At the end of the afternoon, by now feeling exhausted and humiliated, the impetuous warrior left.

Disappointed by the fact that the master had received so many insults and provocations, the students asked:
– How could you bear such indignity? Why didn’t you use your sword, even knowing you might lose the fight, instead of displaying your cowardice in front of us all?

– If someone comes to you with a gift, and you do not accept it, who does the gift belong to? – asked the Samurai.
– He who tried to deliver it – replied one of his disciples.

– The same goes for envy, anger and insults – said the master.
“When they are not accepted, they continue to belong to the one who carried them.”

desert tears

As soon as he arrived in Marrakesh, Morocco, a missionary decided he would stroll through the desert at the city’s boundary every morning. On his first stroll he noticed a man lying on the sand, caressing the ground with his hands and leaning his ears towards the earth.

“He is mad,” the missionary said to himself. But he saw the man every morning during his walks and after a month, intrigued by that strange behaviour, he decided to approach the stranger.

He knelt beside him and asked, in broken Arabic, “What are you doing?”
 “I keep the desert company and offer solace for its loneliness and its tears.”
 “I didn’t know the desert was capable of crying.”
 “It cries every day, because it dreams of being useful to mankind and turning into a huge garden where people could cultivate, flowers and sheep.”

“Well, then, tell the desert it accomplishes its mission very well,” said the missionary. “Every time I walk here, I am able to understand the true dimension of the human being, as its open space allows me to see how small we are before God. When I look at its sands, I imagine the millions of people in the world who were raised alike although the world isn’t always fair towards everyone. Its mountains help me meditate. As I see the sun rising on the horizon, my soul fills with joy and I get closer to the Creator.”

The missionary left the man and went back to his daily chores. To his surprise, he found him the next morning at the same place, in the same position.

“Did you tell the desert everything I told you?” he asked.
 The man nodded.
 “And even so it keeps crying?”
 “I can hear each of its sobs,” answered the man, his head tilted towards the ground.
 “Now it is crying because it spent thousands of years thinking it was completely useless and wasted all this time blaspheming God and its own destiny.”

“Well, then tell the desert that despite having a short lifespan, we human beings spend much of our days thinking we are useless. We rarely find the reason for our destiny and think God has been unfair to us. When a moment finally arrives in which we are shown the reason why we were born, we think it is too late to change and keep on suffering. And as the desert, we blame ourselves for the time we have wasted.”
 “I am not sure the desert will bother to hear it,” said the man.
 “It is used to suffering and it can’t see things differently.”
 “So then let us do what I always do when I feel people have lost faith. Let us pray.”

Both of them went down on their knees and prayed; one turned to Mecca as he was a Muslim and the other joined his hands in prayer, as he was Catholic. They prayed, each one to his own God.

The next day when the missionary resumed his daily walk, the man was no longer there. The ground where he used to embrace the sand seemed to be wet as if a small spring had formed. During the following months that spring grew and the city’s residents built a well around it.

The place is now called “The Well of the Desert’s Tears”. It is said that those who drink its water will be able to transform the reason of their suffering into the reason of their joy and will end up finding their true destiny.

Satan sells used objects

Satan sells used objects
Needing to adapt to the new times, Satan decided to get rid of a whole lot of his stock of temptations. He placed an ad in the newspaper and attended his customers all day in his workshop.
It was a fantastic stock: stones for the virtuous to stumble over, mirrors for increasing one’s self-importance, and spectacles that reduced the importance of others. Some objects hanging on the wall drew a lot of attention: a dagger with a curved blade to be used on someone’s back, and tape-recorders that registered only gossip and lies.

- Don’t worry about the price! – shouted old Satan to the potential customers. – Take it home today and pay for it whenever you can!

One of the visitors noticed three tools lying in a corner that seemed to be quite worn and attracted little attention. But they were very expensive. Curious, he wanted to know the reason for that apparent discrepancy.
- They are worn because they are the ones that I use most of all – answered Satan with a laugh. – If they drew a lot of attention, people would know how to protect themselves.

- However, they are both worth the price I am asking for them: one is Doubt, the other is the Inferiority Complex, the third is Bitterness. All the other temptations can sometimes fail, but these three always work.

Are You Single?

Going solo can be spiritually empowering as long as you take safety precautions to avoid getting into dangerously vulnerable situations, says ANURADHA VARMA


Princess Bubble and the Paper Bag Princess, modern fairytale characters, can teach us a thing or two about being single. The latter got hot and dirty while trying to rescue her prince, who turned up his nose and told her to dress like a princess — he soon got the boot.
Princess Bubble was created by former flight attendants Susan Johnston and Kimberly Webb and found her happily-ever-after long before finding Prince Charming.


Of course, in the Fables Graphic Novel series, which turns fairytales on its head, Snow White finds herself single again after Prince Charming turns on his seductive charm on other women. Singlehood is a state you can find yourself in at any point in time and the important thing is to create a fulfilling life, with or without a partner.


Empowered Singles
In a television soap, the woman protagonist’s drab existence gets some colour when she finds a suitor. While she makes the right noises about the virtues of being single, her life as a single woman seems to revolve around work, home and an ex-boyfriend married to her ex-best friend. In short, life is passing her by.


That needn’t be the case with all single people — in Bollywood, for example, Miss Universe and actor Sushmita Sen extended her family by adopting two girls as a single woman and there are others who are not so well-known, but who have chosen to be single mothers.


Mythologist Devdutt Pattanaik lists names of some of those who chose or were forced into a single life — the widowed matriarch Kunti and an abandoned Sita, for instance. Then there was Shakuntala, who was adopted by the unmarried sage Kanva and left by her husband King Dushyanta.


Says Pattanaik, “Everyone survives in this world. Nature does not judge or discriminate; only humans do. We treat the family as a possession and so become territorial about it, creating outsiders and insiders. While we function with a family and relationships, we have to outgrow our need for ‘attachments’.”


However, with most people part of a ‘couple’, life can raise tough questions for singles. Here, families must also play a supportive and empowering role, instead of the oft-repeated question, “Who will take care of you after us?” It’s important to let your child or sibling know you’re there if required, but also acknowledge that she is capable of living single.


Spiritual Connect
Writer Sreemoyee Piu Kundu believes being single has made her spiritually stronger. “The biggest challenge of being single is the occasional sense of being alone, especially as I am a single child.


Watching parents age, seeing friends losing their parents, dealing with parents falling ill makes one worried about the road ahead; you get the feeling that you have many battles to fight on your own. But I think being single has brought me closer to my faith. I am Buddhist and when I chant or meditate, I feel my God. Buddha is my friend and my soulmate; I call him my old man!”


It’s important to be comfortable in one’s skin. And, ultimately, singlehood is a state of mind, something that can be reclaimed by everyone, married or not. Says Brahmakumari Shivani: “Spirituality means being with everyone outside, but being single inside. This means carrying out all your responsibilities without getting entangled internally; without having people and situations affect your state of mind, learning detachment.”


She adds, “Single people can get very lonely. It’s good to be a part of a spiritual group. Spiritual knowledge and meditation empowers the individual and hence one is not dependent emotionally on others. Being part of such a group also gives the opportunity to participate in projects to serve others.”


She also recommends sustaining emotional support for “it is needed by each one of us today and it’s the same for single people. It’s good for family and friends to involve them in all outings, holidays and get-togethers.”


Make Yourself Stronger
Writer-actor-singer Suchitra Krishnamurthy, previously married to filmmaker Shekhar Kapur, believes that every relationship changes you in indefinable ways. “People are welcome in my life only if they make me happy. And yes, Indian families worry too much and don’t respect individuality enough, especially when it comes to the girl child.


Your role in a family structure is often perceived as more important than your individual thoughts and rights. This does have its good points and also the bad. It can be extremely supportive or downright hypocritical and stifling.”


She adds, “I am blessed with a family that has stood by me through thick and thin, always making me understand that I needn’t compromise my integrity or honesty in search of security.”


Feeling Lonely
Loneliness is an affliction nobody’s immune to. It’s a battle we all have to fight. And that you could be vulnerable as a single woman is an added risk, especially at a time when violence against women is on the rise. Hence, isolating yourself is not a good idea.


Emily White, author of the book Lonely, writes we’re nowhere as connected to each other as we used to be. She says, “More than 30 per cent of people in Britain live alone and the time we spend visiting friends and family has fallen.


A recent study in the US showed that almost a third of the respondents had no one to confide in.… When I was lonely, I hid my emotional reality and lied outright. I fudged facts and did everything necessary to make my isolated life look full. I hinted that I hadn’t been single for as long as I had. I worked as a lawyer, and if someone at the office suggested I looked tired, I pretended that a busy social life was leaving me drained.”


The solution? Stop looking inwards at yourself and focus outward. Being self-centred and insular doesn’t help. There’s a whole world out there, and happy people are those who’ve learnt to take an interest in their surroundings and in people around them, bringing friends and acquaintances into the fold of the extended family.

by speaking tree....

try once more

Pablo Picasso once said, “God is really only another artist. He invented the giraffe, the elephant and the cat. He has no real style. He just keeps on trying other things.”


When we start working on our dreams, we always feel afraid. We wonder if there are rules to follow. Who comes up with these rules, while we all live such different lives? If God created the giraffe, the elephant and the cat, and we try to learn from his example, then why would we try to follow one rule or another?

Sometimes rules help us avoid the mistakes others have made before our time, but more often than not a rule will only make us repeat what someone else has already done.

Rest assured. Trust the universe, and look forward to surprising yourself. The apostle Paul said, “God chose what is foolish in the world to shame the wise; God chose what is weak in the world to shame the strong.” The wise know some actions repeat themselves. They regularly encounter the same problems and situations they have dealt with before. Knowing that makes them sad. They start to think they’ll never be able to grow, since whatever they experienced before is happening again.

“I’ve already been through this,” they complain to their hearts.

“That may be true,” their hearts reply, “but you haven’t mastered it yet.”

The wise understand that repetition has a cause: to teach the lesson that still needs teaching. Repetitive situations require different solutions every time. The one who fails must not see this as a mistake, but rather as a step toward greater self knowledge.

It’s like Thomas Watson said, “Would you like me to give you a formula for success? It’s quite simple, really. Double your rate of failure.”

insults

Changing attitude

“Over the course of one year, give a coin to each person who offends or upsets you,” instructed the abbot of a young man who wanted people to follow a spiritual path.
For the next twelve months, the boy gave a coin to each person who offended or upset him, as he was instructed. At the end of the year, he returned to the abbot to find out what the next steps were.
“Go into town and buy food for me,” the abbot responded.
Once the boy left, the abbot changed his clothes, disguised himself as a beggar and went to the gate. When the boy approached, he began to insult him.
“Good!” said the boy, “for a whole year I had to pay the people who upset or offended me, and now I can be offended for free, without spending anything!”
Hearing this, the abbot removed his disguise.
“He who does not take insults seriously, is on the path to wisdom.”
