Energy bubbles!

That we are nothing but a ball of energy is known n accepted.... But that this energy has to be of some U-S-E to the world to be of any use to oneself is a point to ponder upon! In a perfect world, the more one can be of 'use,' as a chef, n architect, an artist, an entertainer, a socialist, a doctor, a priest, a parent, or any other good use to others, the happier and healthier one shall be.

With that thought in mind, please think, have you ever felt energy bubbling within you? When you want to do something creative, something big, and reach out to the world seeking there buy-in and applause? Make note...of this inspirational, motivational vibes bubbling within you and act...for yourself...make use of your potential, your talent and reach out to the world. 

All you will ever need, you will find within you! - ps

Who teaches us life skills?

We all learnt. The syllabus was thorough. It made us competitive, very competitive - professionally! What did we not learn? Did we learn how to lead better, calm, happy, generous and fulfilling lives? Perhaps some of us did, ....from our families, friends, foes and experiences. The learning was haphazard though. 

At 36, what I still wish to learn is: 

how to smile when I am perturbed
how to get rid of a thought that is troubling me
how to stay calm in moments of stress
how to be a true friend
how to deal with failure
how to deal with success
how to help the needy
how to nurture talent
how to love selflessly
how to close knit families
how to express emotions
how to love myself

I Aced my math, my English, my accounts, my economics....wish I had Aced my life!!

Be famous not infamous!

Some people can be so consistent, so very predictable with their bad behavior! The person who lives just a floor below my apartment..say my bottom door neighbor, is on the wrong side of middle age and single. Lord knows if he is divorced or never married or whatever. But he has a problem with any sound he hears from above,...meaning my house. He should realize that he is fortunate to have me as his up-door neighbor, and my three year old, is a girl. Had it been a 'boy' family or let’s say a family with two or more children, he would have pulled his hair out perhaps. 

So today, my daughter was playacting Goofy and jumping a little, and even before the intercom rung, I kind of guessed who was calling.

Bottom line....(or let's say bottom door line :p) the guy needs to get a life! He upset me...but I still thank him because he made one of the fundamentals I cited in my book...extremely apt ...and here I quote, "We develop our fundamental nature or characteristic, over time by having the same thought, feeling, approach or response over and over again. For instance, we become introverted when we keep to ourselves time and again. This characteristic over a long period of time becomes our nature. Our characteristics act as causes that have certain effects. Since the cause remains the same, the effects are also similar. For instance, when we remain introverted all the time, we make fewer friends. Repeated over and over again, this becomes our life experience."

Concluding, if Mr. bottom door, wants to change his life experience and be happy, assuming married with family equals happy (:p), then the first thing he needs to do is increase his tolerance and stop calling me about noise at the drop of a hat!!! I really want him to read my book, he ain't even on FB, nor twitter, nor blogspot, ...God help him!!

my nightmare taught me a load of good!

Woke up startled this morning...had a dream that three well dressed, nimble, extremely deft thieves - a woman and two men, stand next to us and in a friendly way, start stealing from my Mom, Dad and I at the airport...the minute we catch and ask if they have stolen, they return the belongings more than willingly..returning one article at a time...this goes on for a while, from the airport to our house, well into the night...each time they keep returning what they steal, therefore we are unable to get rid of the thieves, always thinking they have more of our belongings! All this while, the value of the belongings keeps increasing. At the airport it begins with some cash, few trinkets....goes on to include expensive artifacts and souvenirs at home, and well into the night it reaches lockers, all savings and all jewelry.

While Mom, Dad and I talk and get belongings back from one thief, the other two build rope ladders and swiftly take away all valuables and suddenly the three disappear!

I woke up and wondered what a dream and why such a dream? All of a sudden someone whispered into my ear (probably one of the thieves from my dream) You Should Have Let Go In The Very Beginning When We Had Lesser Of Your Valuables, You Led Us To The Greater Of Your Valuables....and then it all just struck me like lightening ....with attention and attachment, our small little worries grow into big bad worries that take away all that we ever had...so need to ignore or nip in the bud, even the tiniest of our worries...what a message my dream left me I say.....!!!!

DESTINY DRIVERS: A thin line between modesty and inferiority

A thin line between modesty and inferiority

Even the lord may not be shielded from vibes that fill negativity and inferiority in our existence. Recently, I heard a legendary protagonist in an interview share that he believed that now that he has aged, people acknowledge younger super stars over him. This legendary protagonist is extra-extraordinaire personified. He is not only loved as younger super stars, but also respected, adored and worshiped. So lord may know how the legendary protagonist inferred public behavior, he probably took his modesty a bit too far, but he still is god's favorite child on the planet for me, my generation, and two generations above mine. Need I say more about his stardom and galore!

Inferring thereon, a little seed of doubt within grows into this large tree of inferiority on the outside.

Ask for more and begin with yourself

My three year old doesn't take 'no' for an answer! When she asks for five chocolates, I say no, she cries, then we start bargaining and finally settle in for two, one to eat then and the other the next day! Well that is exactly how our destiny bargains with us. Which is why some suggest we dream big!

I therefore, keep my goals high. When I wanted to pursue my master's I prepared for Harvard and made it to the Indian School of Business. At B-school I dreamed of becoming a media tycoon and starting my own news channel, finally I worked with The Economist. Postpartum, I aimed for size zero, fortunately that was just a fad, and finally I reached an admirable size. With my book, I aimed at a bestseller, so I am sure I will sell at least 10,000 copies!!! Hehehehehe!!!
