Shopping in a way resembles life's meaningful experience !

Image
In search of better, you often leave the thing that is the best of it's kind available to you. When you go for shopping, many times in order to find a particular product of better quality you proceed to few other shops in spite of finding the most appropriate material. You advance with a belief that you may get even better, hoping something new and exciting than what you already found earlier in a shop. Later on, you realize that the previous thing was really the best / the most suitable which meets your requirement. Nothing else can be a better available option. There is a similar concept with life too. Most of the times you tend to miss out the best people or the best opportunity in life hoping to find a better one in the future. Your natural inclination is always to look for something better.  Confusing?  Let me elaborate: Undoubtedly, it's good to aim high, look for a better future than present. However, you should " be aware of your present conditions, c...

Have you ever come across people whose charming smile made your day and still being in their presence makes you happier? The very thought of these people can put "a huge smile" on your face.  If yes, read further to get immersed into this spellbinding world of smile.  “ Peace begins with a smile. ” – Mother Teresa Smile is the simplest but most effective magical tool . It represents the sweetness of soul.  A beautiful smile has the power even greater than that of thousand words.

Mindset - An expression of Belief System !

Mindset - An expression of Belief System ! We generally come across two types of people, one with a " Growth Mindset " and other with a " Fixed Mindset ". Can you predict which of these two mindsets favours success or helps people to succeed more likely ? Here's what you should know to clarify this... People with "Growth Mindset" are more likely to take risks because they are interested in growth than in protecting themselves from the possibility of mistakes and failure.   They do not consider "Nature over Nurture"  but "Nurture over Nature". They are of the opinion that careful planning and ongoing learning have more weightage than natural ability.   On the other hand, people with "Fixed Mindset" remain stagnant in their abilities and do not try to change with environment or time. People with "growth mindset" take risks, learn and grow; 'Missing out an opportunity' is a concept they fi...

Self-control - The Enchiridion to personal development !

Self-control  - The Enchiridion to personal development ! Self-control is the power to control one's emotions and desires whenever and wherever required. In other words, it is the potential to train the mind and channelize the energy according to one's will . It is of prime importance because it helps in controlling our mind and inner-selves, the most powerful tools. Desire gives rise to more desires. Gratification will never come if you go on increasing your wants exponentially. When you are in the grip of a whim to buy something new, you feel you must have it otherwise you won't be happy. Once you get it, you think of buying something better. If you cannot distinguish between your needs and wants, you cannot be internally contended. So, it's important that you acquire what you need and then be satisfied with what you already have. Energy, like money, should be well managed, saved and invested wisely. We should have a clear understanding of when to get close to ...

Life is glorious !

Life is glorious ! When we feel very confused, disordered, puzzled, scattered and upset by too much of external distractions and noise of our daily manic routine, it is sensible to revisit our inner-self and nutrify our weakened selves. Life is glorious despite the sufferings and problems. Hold on, ...when we analyse this sentence carefully, we find that " l ife is glorious not despite the sufferings and problems but because of them" . We should be thankful that we don't have everything which we desire. If we did, then what would there be to look forward to ? It is aptly said that one who has never perceived darkness cannot understand the value of light. Similarly, one who has never experienced dejection cannot appreciate pleasure.  Complete smoothness in life is only a superficial truth because there will always be problems at every step of life. Vastness of problems depend on our ability to conquer those challenges. Even huge problems can be thought to be smaller...
