Thought Of The Day

All strangers are people like you. For most of us, "others" means friends, family, or colleagues. Keep in mind all are others. Not knowing people's names doesn't mean you don't matter to them or they to you. The ultimate meaningfulness of our lives come from fulfilling our obligations to others. Look at every human being as an opportunity to advance humanity. And add something positive to the resume of your life. Feeling good doesn't come from competition, beating someone else out. For something, be it a parking space or gaining an edge  over someone. These are momentary "win". The deeper needs for admiration, love and respect are never met by these short "wins".

Love and respect can not be demanded. We don't deserve anything we haven't earned. Life is a day -- to -- day process. Life has it's Moan and Whine days, and it's days of joy. Bumper sticker happens, it is a reflection of reality. The quality of our life very much depends on what we focus on. And the environment we choose. It is difficult to be negative when we make choice to be around positive people.

Start building relationship with yourself. Accept yourself with the terms and limitations of life. Acceptance of opportunities for great peace and happiness. You have to decide, for whom you are "dancing", through life, and why. Face constantly new challenge to "prove your worth". With the frustration of never finding what was, ultimately, impossible. Love through success.

Shift perspective, open up to gratitude and goodness. Embrace obligations to loved ones and the world in general. Will uplift your interactions with family and friends in incredible way. It will give you a jump start to get proactive. Moving in the direction of a joyful, happy and purposeful future. Drop the self -  destructive thoughts. It is like "crying over spilled milk", it doesn't help. This will eventually cause you to feel very negatively -- about who and what you are. So please shift your perspective. And be Happy.

There are things in Life worth whining about. A certain amount of whining allows for some venting. Of reasonable pain, disappointment, fear and frustration.  Staying stuck in whining mode can become a lifelong problem. So please stop whining and start living. To help and conquer to retreat your life to fullest. No matter what you suffered and how much you suffered or continue to suffer. While you are alive, you have the opportunity to get something from this life. If you don't like your life, quit talking about your unhappiness and try to fix it. No matter how difficult or impossible your situation seems. Just try and keep trying. Stop whining will reject negative emotions and attitudes.

Write on cards,  the words "Drop the Negativity and focus on Blessings". Every time a negative thought creeps into your mind, pl. read the card. Transformation will be astonishing. Negativity creeps in your mind, which it will do on regular basis, remember two things You are the one who is creating the negativity with your own thinking. But the more important, you have the power to stop it. Our thoughts have the power, if left to their own devices, to take us to Either great heights or miserable depths. So it is very important to always remember that we are the ones in control.

Hope is one of the most powerful forces in our lives. Helps in keeping us happy instead of depressed, looking forward toward future instead of the past. Knowing there's always a chance that life can be better than it is right now. Hope keeps human spirit alive. Gives us reason to go on even when times are tough. Perhaps the most remarkable aspect of hope is that it is entirely internal. Hope soothes our soul. It is that invisible force that makes all things possible. Practice sending positive thoughts, that is nothing to worry about. Your hope will be contagious and spread to everyone you touch. An added experiment, try spending a minute or two, every day consciously hoping for something positive in your life. It will be Great.

Words have power to acknowledge our hard work. Bring out the best in us. Boost our confidence. Support us in tough times. Bolster our self image. Celebrate our triumphs. Give comfort in time of sorrow. Make us feel like we count. Help us to believe in ourselves.

We all need a boost from time to time. A few lines of praise have been known to turn around a day, even a life. A handwritten note is like dining by candlelight instead of flicking on the lights. Like taking a walk instead of driving. You can still use the telephone or the web for staying in touch. But the words that matter, it's courteous, classy and caring to pick up a pen. Do not save your loving speeches for your friends till they are dead. Speak them rather now. The greatest weakness of most humans, is their hesitancy to tell others how much they love them.

Laughter is a good medicine. Laugh and the world laughs with you. Humor is a serious thing. I like to think of it as one of our greatest natural resources, which must be preserved at all costs. Literally count to ten to give yourself time to think about what you'r going to say. No put downs. Compliments spoken here. Remind these words to refresh your memory. Some say, a word is dead, when it is said. I say, it just begins to live that day. Words have the power to change a life in positive ways. They can chart a destiny. But they can also have the power to destroy a life. So please handle with care. Be very careful before use.

Life is a series of problems. Do we want to moan about them or solve them. Problems not only call for our courage and our wisdom. They create our courage and wisdom.

We can make a difference within our institutions and our communities.

It's not so much what you say, as the manner in which you say it. It's not so much the language we use, as the tone in which we convey it. Tone is sometimes more important than the words we use. Tone puts feelings behind our words. It makes goo connection, make our communication effective. The tongue that brings healing is a tree of life. Our bodies are talking. If you want to get closer to those around you, be aware of the power of communication, which you hold in your hands.

Gentle speech makes friends. Be slow to anger, slow to blame. Gracious words show respect and gratitude. Words can heal. Perhaps you will forget tomorrow the kind words you say today, but the recipient may cherish them over a lifetime. Joyful words celebrate life.

Words come from Heart. Every time we open our mouth, we reveal something about ourselves. Our words reveal us. Our words are usually a reflection of what's going on inside. Sometimes, we have to examine our own language, to get to know ourselves better. Take a closer look at your own language and you will know yourself. Heart is a symbol of emotions and feelings. Eyes are Window of our Soul. Of our inner selves.

Two sure ways to fail, think and never do, or do and never think. To communicate your Message unmistakably clear, keep it simple. Keep in mind that success is a partnership.

The instruments of both life and death are contained within the power of tongue. Words make us Human. Words are what hold society together. Words can hurt and shock, or they can heal and lift spirit. The pen is mightier than the sword.

Life and language are alike sacred. Language can change lives. Words shape history, and give birth to ideas. Thinkers and leaders have used the power of words to transform our emotions.

Kind words cost little but accomplish much. They have great impact on our lives and on our society in so many ways. Remind yourself to do it often.

Opportunity lies in the person. Those, who stand out from the crowd have learned that all development is self development. We all have same amount of time but not the same talent and ability. We certainly owe a debt to people whose messages have been encouraging and positive as well informative and instructional. Every lesson, taught us the essence of life by instructing us in the character qualities, regardless of our chosen field. failure, many times, is in the beginning of a new and more exciting trip. Persistence really does pay. People judge you by your actions not by your intentions. Truly successful people in life are givers and forgivers.

Kids should be a model of their own culture and traditions, or parents can compromise and give some liberties to their kids. Parents agree on one point, that they should be more flexible, specially girls should not be in that tight compartment as used to be back home, they should be out of their cages. Parents are still very confused. They don't mind their kids going on the streets for Tick or Treat in Halloween, but when kids want to go to Christmas parties to their friend place, it becomes a burning hot problem.
