Being human is a  guest house every morning  a new arrival A joy, a depression a meanness some momentary awareness knocks our door, they have to come in we can not stop any of these arrivals Some of them are wanted but most of them unwanted we have no choice so welcome and entertain them all treat each like a guest Meet them at the door  laughing and invite them in with Grace  be grateful for whoever comes because each one has been sent from Beyond Try to recognize the power of emotions don't be afraid struggle is where our courage is tested courage is contagious be brave and try to rise after a fall If you want to be brave you have to choose courage  ignore the signal " What people think " Stop caring about that Creativity is when we are learning from our heads to our hearts through our hands

Love your  Human family With Joy and appreciation The  longest journey  that you will make in your life is from your head to your heart The journey into the heart is our future and only way of Creating future It is movement toward Wholeness, integrity and Compassion Learning  to experience emotions is one of the most difficult task When there are  stomach problems it usually means we don't know how to assimilate the new experience we are afraid Stomach  digest all the new ideas and experiences we have Our  body is a river constantly changing flowing patterns  of intelligence " You can not step the same river twice for fresh waters are ever flowing in. " The  same  is true of the  body We appear to be the same outwardly , yet we are like a building  whose bricks  are constantly being replaced by new ones Our  body knows  what is good and bad for it We ha...

As we get older, we need  to realize that We have a choice about how we're going to respond to the messages from other people Remember that " no one can make you feel inferior without your consent." It would follow, then, that no one can make you feel   " anything "  without your consent It is what we believe About ourselves that counts Whether we were treated Rightly or wrongly as children Our self esteem is now   our responsibility We can't feel good if our heads are full of negative thoughts If we 're treating others with respect Being honest and achieving something With our lives then we need to give ourselves credit It's healthy to develop  a good attitude about ourselves we have to remember   attitude is a choice ---- the most important one  you'll ever make Self esteem is the reputation You have with yourself The body needs nutrition and exercise  ----  so do , the m...

We all have ideas about ourselves That we use as limitations or Resistance to changing Like : We are too old or too young Too fat, too thin Too short, too tall Too lazy, too weak Too poor, too dumb May be it's all too much We also try to use delaying tactics Such as, I 'll do it later I can't think right now I don't have time right now Yes that's a good idea I will do it some other time We know our ways to Not to do things and running away From the situation Just do it Plan your Day Every successful person does it in some form This is the most positive way to invest your time Plan your day a night before or The first thing in the morning Prioritize your things in the list to do You will be amazed how effective and productive it will be Check off each daily goal in the list as you complete it You will get a great sense of Accomplishment It will show your progress record Daily accomplishments are The bui...

Try to manage your time It is easy to say but difficult to apply as it involves changing habits Plan your Day A successful life is nothing more than A string of successful days There use to be other plans like Business plan, game plan,  building plan, lesson plan  --- and so on So why not a day plan It doesn't take much time but it works Some call it " things to do " list It is like daily goal setting Problems call for our courage And our wisdom The process of confronting  and solving problems is a Painful one It makes life difficult but We have to keep in mind that It is only because of problems We grow mentally and spiritually Problems are cutting edge that distinguishes between success and failure When we desire to encourage the growth of our spirit We challenge and encourage our capacity to solve problems Just like in our school days It is through the pain of  confronting and Resolving problems that we learn "...

It was 1991, I went to see a physician While taking my history He asked about the number of children I have My answer was five Then he asked about any miscarriages, abortions To both the questions my answer was one He quickly did the calculations And his answer to me was seven pregnancies I could not believe that I the highly educated lady of early sixties Was responsible of making seven pregnancies I was really ashamed of myself Back home lot of kids are Old fashioned and Not a classy thing My mother was much better than me She was two decades before my time Behaved in much civilized style She had only five children Although she was not educated at all Never went to any school No novels no short stories No TV Dramas nothing I had access of all these But she was much better than me In so many ways Mothers are always mothers We always can learn From our mothers

In January 1992 I was volunteering in The Microbiology Department of University of Toronto in Canada I came across with a Chinese Lady She was supervising the Autoclave and Sterilization Unit of the department in the Basement area She was going on holidays She told me that her youngest daughter is 25 years old I was surprised, she was not looking old enough To have a daughter of 25 years of age At that time my 2nd youngest daughter was Going to be married in a couple of months She was 19 years old That Chinese lady was surprised and in a Tone of admiration discussed My daughter's  marriage, which was arranged Then she started talking about her daughter, that She is not ready even to marry After sometimes she came to know that I just migrated couple of years ago All her surprises and admiration was gone She told me I am here for 20 years If you stay that long All will be changed She was telling me about herse...

Our whole lifetime is a series of Simultaneous deaths and births " Throughout the whole of life one must           continue to learn to live " And what will amaze you even more Throughout life one must learn to die It is also clear the farther one travels on The journey of life, the more Births one will experience, and Therefore the more deaths  ------- the More joy and the more pain Whether it is ever possible to become Free from emotional pain In this life ? I think never Is it possible to spiritually evolve to A level of consciousness at which the Pain of living is at least Diminished ? The answer is yes and no The answer is yes, because Once suffering is completely accepted It ceases in a sense to be Suffering because the Unceasing practice of discipline Leads to mastery and the Spiritually evolved person is masterful in the Same sense that the adult is Masterful in relation to the child...

We are each responsible for All our experiences Every thought we think is Creating our future The point of power is always In the present moment Everyone suffers from self --- hatred and guilt The bottom line for everyone is, " I'm not good enough ".

Don't wait for the right mood Or the right time Be consistent and block specific Periods in your daily schedule Use a little -- bit -- at  -- a -- time Approach It will become a habit Writing a book seems an Overwhelming job when looked on as a whole but if you Write only one page a day It will be done just like building a brick house The individual bricks are pretty small and the process of laying them only one at a time Looks painfully slow We can use small blocks of time in Much the same way Success is the result of hard work done Little by little, day by day

In the first year of our migration Everything looks in a mess In our lives We start behaving differently and ask our daughters to apply for any job This act is total surprising for us We never do this back home But at that time All of us probably doing involuntary actions May be we are in some shock Shock of adjustment in our new home country and acting very differently,  otherwise We wouldn't push our girls for such jobs Never in our back home countries Things change so quickly Our family values, our ideas Our thinking All refreshed by this migration Push Button with just one click No one realized this quick change In our lives beforehand Now it is too late Now we are a mixed personality Like a mixed plate A reflection of both East and West A changed person, but  New pages  In world history and world Politics Are written and Like our forefathers we are also Part of shaping the...
