Without trust there's no reason to continue! Not communicating for quite long say weeks together and for no valid reason,when u know the other one in search of new relationships (keeping Ur partner in the dark)..ain't fine. When confronted,saying Dear,am always there for you is unnerving! Isn't it better to move out from such relationship where you are sure,u r unwanted! Without guilt those behave! Saying I was here! Went no where! What r u saying! Huh! Such kinds are rare!

Do you say a prayer of gratefulness daily? Well, I don’t. I was facing a crossroad in my life recently. I decided not to do what I used to do career wise. But due to the habitual mode of having a regular job, I accepted a position not in alignment with what I want to do. What I want to do is also a part of what I did in my last job. To cut the story short I just did not want to deal with certain aspects of my previous full time employment anymore.

It was only after accepting the offer that I started to look deeply into myself. I read and also spent time in meditation. While being guided through a particular meditation online, asking me to think of all the times I have been grateful, it daunted on me that I wasn’t grateful most of my life. The truth is, the universe has always been kind to me, handing me what I want all the time. Even the things I did not want was given because I have not consciously looked inside myself before.

After looking deeply into what I want, rather than just take what comes my way without paying attention to my mind, I decided I will pay as much attention to my thoughts as possible made me feel a lot better. The offer was also a gift from the universe because in my state of confusion then, I did want a job, but I wasn’t paying attention to what I really want.

A friend gave me the advise this morning. She said her nephew who is only 4 years old, never feels guilt telling someone else he does not want something anymore. Whereas I do – most of my life. I do not like to disappoint people. That’s the nice way of saying it. Rather, I have been conditioned to always seek approval because I did not receive much as a child.

Thanks to my friend, I looked deeply into my behaviour pattern that drives me towards unhappiness. Now, I am conscious I can live without the guilt of wanting anyone’s approval again. It is freeing for the mind.

A free mind is a mind that is able to break from its usual habits. The ability to say ‘NO’ to your own mind when it is driven to do the same thing over and over again that causes you discomfort is liberating.

It is apt that I was beside a child on my way home in the train when she said, “I see cars, I see trees.” It was as what my friend had said. The child was just pointing out to her mother what she sees, without interpreting it and adding unnecessary layers like adults do.

When you cause upset to anyone it may feel uncomfortable at the moment, but it does not have to carry any guilt or burden at all.

Share your views of what you are actually seeing in your mind. We see, but we seldom do SEE it like a child. Be aware of your mind and be grateful because the universe always gives you what you want, even fear.

I don't think I'm a workaholic, but it DOES help me to be busy and I love that.

One of my sister complained I work too much! She told me many times that I should work less and enjoy more but the problem is that I would rather spend time for work than spent time for things such as traveling alone unless it's for business trips.

What about you? Would you prefer working more or less?

3:10am in my city!
Goodnight!

And you thought you had it bad. Wait until you see these first world problems. Then you'll count your blessings.

"WHAT IS RICHNESS?"

There are 2 types of richness in the world..........one of money and another of thoughts. Everyone knows about richness in Money; but what about richness in thoughts, words and deeds?
Richness in thoughts is about spirituality, about goodness, about order, about joy and happiness. How to do this without having Money in your bank?
Well, my friends, you can train your mind to help you. First you have to take into consideration about your attitude to Richness. This can be achieved in Thought, Word and Deed. Think very deeply about your general attitude.

A THOUGHT is like a bomb or like Nature. It can destroy or it can create. Train your mind to be creative like Nature. Think of Goodness all the time........like inventions benefitting everyone alive on this planet. Once your mind works in this direction, then there is no stopping of your good thoughts continously, that will be creative in nature. Your mind will compel you to think that you are now Rich....... not in money, but in some other way.

What is a WORD? A word is a group of alphabates in any language having some meaning; it may be any language of the people. There are good words as well as bad words in the world. Words like love, joy, handsome, beautiful are good words; whereas words like idiot, scoundrel, robber, selfish are bad words. People will judge you by the words that come out of your lips. Hence, train yourself to always use good words. If you can train your mind to use good words, you will feel immensely Rich within yourself.

And, finaly a DEED! A deed is an action resulting from your thought. So, a DEED is connected with your THOUGHT. But there is a magic formula for a DEED. What is that?
A decision that everyday you do one good DEED a day. You may wonder and laugh at me for making such a statement. Good DEEDS are many; but very few people implement them. The most powerful word in the world is the word ALLOW. You may get amused if I say this.........But ALLOW has a lot of power! If you ALLOW anything, that 'ANYTHING' ALLOWS you. This is the law of physics; Action & Reaction are equal in value, but opposite in direction. But there is a one catch here; it will only work for those people who ALLOW without any condition of compensation coming to them! You can do good DEEDS by ALLOWING the people their first rights to life.For instance, if an old blind person wants to cross the road, be the first to rush to his help; this will be your good DEED for the day.

If you are standing in a train or a bus, offer seat to a person in need; this will be your another good DEED. In this way, go on collecting good DEEDS for the day. I am sure that at the end of the day, you will feel immensely Rich. So, Money is not necessarily needed to feel Rich, there is another way to Richness too.

Expression: When the mind searches for reasons to be sad and sorrowful, even situations with no great significance are seen with a vision of negativity. So there is constantly an expression of words and actions that reflect the need for sympathy and reassurance. On the other hand, when there is the search for happiness, then everything is positive giving happiness..

Experience: When I am happy, I start perceiving everything with that vision. It is like wearing coloured glasses. Whatever colour my glasses are, the whole world is coloured with it. Then, I am no longer able to perceive and recognize negativity and I am able to remain happy with everything.
