Do you get the love you need?



You are loved
when you are born.
You will be loved
when you die.
In between
You have to manage...!

Introspect and find out how well you have been managing!

Are You Human?

May be you feel outraged by this question. "Of course I am. What a stupid question?"
 you may retort. 
Pray read this question carefully. I didn't ask you "Are you a human being?" I asked you "Are you human?"

There is a lot of difference
between
being a 'human being'
and being 'human.'
Very few people understand the difference.


I hope you are one. If you are still not clear of the differences just think of the people you know and ponder how many of them you will consider human.

Know who loves you



The One who loves you
will never leave you
because
even if there are
100 reasons to give up
he will find
one reason to hold on

Food as Medicine

Eat your food
as your medicines.
Otherwise
you have to
eat medicines
as your food

There is a concept in the southernmost part of India, Tamilnadu 
"uNavE marundhu. marundhE uNavu."
This translates into English as "Food is medicine and medicine is food."

What the cryptic message conveys is that if you pay attention to what you eat keeping your health in mind, you will eat only what is good for your body. The food you choose  to eat will ensure that you don't get health problems and you can obviate the need for taking medicine to cure some malady.

Educating children


Don't educate your children
to be rich.
Educate them
to be Happy.
So when they grow up
they will know
the value of things
not the price

The Key to Overcoming the Fear of Failure


In the last post, we discussed how failure creates a system of repeating itself by using the fear of failure and making it stronger for every successive attempt. Obviously, fear works because we allow it to enter our mind and then occupy the whole mind. How do we prevent this?

Just by shifting your focus. When you fail once and make a second attempt, your mind will dwell on the past. Make it focus on the future. Deliberately think of the results your success will bring you. Visualize all the great things that you will experience once you succeed in what you are attempting to do.

This may not be easy but is definitely practicable. There is no way you can push the fear out. All you can do is to infuse your mind with pleasant feelings about the results success will bring. he fear of failure will keep coming but keep ignoring it and force yourself to dwell on the positive thoughts. After some time, you will find this method working. Fear will lose its vigor and enthusiasm will have its presence. By practicing this kind of thinking repeatedly, you can free yourself from the effects of fear created by past failures.

It is like switching on a fan to drive out the foul smell from a stuffed room. The result will come. It may take some time but you will find this working very well.
