Good thinking for Good living

Thoughts in our mind is the fastest language. We are unaware of our thoughts. The kind of thoughts in our mind determines our happiness. If we are not happy then our life is a failure. Only happy people can make others happy. Unhappy people always talk about fear, doubts and failures. They are highly pessimistic and calling up failure in their lives and those who are related in their lives.
Good thinking and positive thoughts are the only way to lead a good and happy life.
We tend to please others and think if I do that will that be right, if I speak this will that be nice, if I go there will that be nice, if I sing will that be Ok, if I go this restaurant will that be delicious. Like wise the 'if's' won't allow us to things in a straight forward way. Out of the fear, doubt and repeated failures, one will get addicted to negative thinking which in turn results in a total negative attitude, jealous, stress and anxiety.
We have to be good thinkers to make good choices in our lives. The thoughts of yourself is very important. Be confident in you, be true to you, live your life are the beautiful ways to think good of yourself. The thoughts of others is also equally important to have good thinking. Find good in others around you, if anything against your wish and will, let it go. This helps you develop good thoughts in you. So also good thinking of the work both at home and outside fills positivism in you. Nothing is impossible. Everything will end in good. These thoughts helps to create a positive environment around you. Think good about your life goals and create positive choices to live your life good.
Good thinking results in good deed and good talk. The thoughts in our life is the real life we live.
A nice example on thoughts in real life by two beautiful women tempt me to narrate this below.
A  lady in her late sixties with illness of diabetes, cholesterol and blood pressure was under a fear of heart disease in her seventies. She made it happen. At 71, she underwent a bye pass surgery after a massive heart attack.
Another lady in her mid seventies planned for mountaineering. After rigorous practice and positivity she managed and succeeded in mountaineering at the age of 79.
This is how thoughts influence one to live good and beautiful in lives.

Beautiful Life

We all wish and love to have a beautiful life. When we see others, we feel they are having a beautiful life. In what volume we measure the beauty of life. Is that based on the material richness? May be, right. But honestly that is not the beauty. Beauty lies on the happiness you enjoy, the love you feel, the peace you experience and after all the contentment in your life.
Above all the material and physical beauty you have is there any thing missing in your precious life in terms of love, happiness, wisdom, bliss, peace, trust and strength. Honestly you can find a piece of fear is there, fear of death, fear of judgment and fear of expression. Build up confidence and trust in yourself. It will take time, the more honest you are the more fast you can grab the beautiful things in your life.
Go ahead and build your beautiful life by your own with a schedule of positives.
Demoralise your desires out of your reach.
Find your own time to have yoga and meditation.
Be a member of the team at home and at your work place.
Find satisfaction and happiness in which you have.
Count the blessings you have.
Sharpen your ears to listen compassionately.
Clear up your eyes to see good in others.
Tame your tongue to speak nicely.
Be assertive and service minded. They are lots and lots of people around us who need care.
Practice compassion and humility in your life.
Smile at the world to get the smile back to live a beautiful life.

Find your Peace...

Today is the International day of Peace. We all need peace, we all want peace. So it is clear that we have to be peaceful. Is that happening to us? Some how we can adjust everything outside, but back home, we start blaming, complaining and arguing for silly things with our dear ones. Why? We can vent our stress and irritations in the most comfortable place in the world, that is our home. Then after a while everything quietens down and we are stress free.
Is this a healthy practice? After a big scene of unhealthy attitudes and then to healthy. No, not at all.
Take a moment. Think of self. Think of others. Everybody needs peace. We should not be the one to spoil the calmness. Meditation is the best way to practice peace. Look inward, concentrate within and find the true you. Find out the weakness in you and get rid of it with a systematic and disciplined regular practice.
Peace is the religion of soul. Peace is the natural path, from where we all come out, we all are moving and we all come back to. Peace is our original nature. Peace is who we are.
A simple meditation for peace in a group or individual. Sit comfortably where ever you feel to get peace. Do this meditation for five minutes. By repeated affirmations and assurance make it true.
'Just remember who we are. Just remind us, we are all peaceful by nature. At the end of a busy day we want to be at peace, because peace is who we are. Just remember in meditation, we are peaceful, we need peace, we are here for justice and we are here for harmony. Enjoy the state of remembering we are peaceful. Then let us fill our self with peace and imagine, how will we be when we are peaceful in our conversations, in our interactions with others, in our activities and in our attitudes. Let us decide to have this change and experience the peace in us, where we go, where we work, where we chat and with all to whom we are related. Listen to the quietness within, listen to the quietness outside. Now the soul is quiet, we are revealing the true essence within us. Now we are in peace, Yes, we are peace. We need to enjoy peace and to spread peace to our fellow beings. We need to make the whole world peaceful. We love to live in a peaceful world. We can do that. We can make others also take part in spreading and maintaining a peaceful community around us. We don't want to let go the peace. We want peace in every moment. Om Shanti! Om Shanti!! Om Shanti!!!'
For a peaceful life we need to think about peace, we need to talk about peace, we need to give away peace and we need to fill the world with peace.

Know the strength your fingers....

Our fingers represent the five elements or Panchabhuta.
The five elements are Earth, Water, Fire, Air and Ether. The cosmic energy is the grand total of these elements. These elements have the different characteristics. Our body is also governed by these elements. Our five fingers in our hands represent the five elements. It is wise to understand the knowledge of representation of the five elements in our hands and use it for our health.
Thumb represents the fire (Agni), index finger air (vayu), middle finger ether (akash), ring finger earth (bhoomi), and little finger (water). The temperature in our body is deciding the perfection of air and water elements. These three elements in a total decides the vigour and vitality of our body.
Pain in any point in our palms is an indication of illness in our body. This point if touched by your thumb for a minute will give great relief in your physiological state. So also touching the tips of the thumb and fingers to regulate and maintain the optimum level of temperature, air and fluid in our body helps to maintain physical and mental health.  

Here Everything Better....Yes it is, just like our life.

 While in my official career a tenure of three years were in charge of EEC, Market run by Department of Agriculture. We started a farmer's market allowing the farmer's to auction their produce directly weekly once. After a month of initial disturbances, it started functioning nicely. We made sure the farmers getting fair price for their produces without being in the racket of middle men. There our display board shows a caption 'Here every thing is the Best.'
Now in San Antonio, USA, we used to shop from HEB. The expansion is 'Here everything Better'.
Just recollecting older days where we used this caption and it is still alive in a big shopping chain. So nice to see things coming back to us cherishing old sweet memories and hard work done for the uplift of the farming community.

Rest and Sleep..essential for healthy life

Rest and sleep play a vital role in health and well being. Sound sleep is essential for mental and physical health. Sleep heals your mind and body. Sleep also repairs your heart and blood vessels.
Sleep deficiency shift your mind towards negative thoughts and is also linked with anxiety, fear and depression.
 Optimum sleep helps to wake up refreshed and relaxed. Seven to eight hours sleep is recommended for an adult. Sleep helps t restore body's energy, repair muscle tissues and trigger the release of hormones that effect growth and appetite. We get more emotional stability with adequate sleep, that keeps our mind strong and positive. Sleep is the essential key of a healthy life style to take care of our heart, posture and our mind.

Be kind to those who behave rude....

 We can see people who are rude. It is so hard to cope up with people who behaves bad.
These kind of people are really not aware of their behaviour. They always feel insecure. They are selfish and possessive. In all walks of life we can meet such personalities who cares about themselves only. They don't like to hear or listen others, appreciate or respect others, love or care others and also to follow others. They prefer everybody to follow them. Then it becomes a habit and they love to stay like that which makes them slowly detached from the flow.That type of behaviour will take away peace, happiness and also health from them and those who are with them. Don't take such situations personally.
Smile and stay silent in such situations. Face rudeness with kindness and respect. It is better to change yourself to adjust in such situations not for them, but for you, because you need not be in a bad situation Keep clam and draw a boundary, can be done mentally and stay in your space to get away. Be kind to the unkind because they need kindness to be calm within them. Walk away from them to show them and give a message that you won't accept or tolerate such a type of behaviour.
Always stay in a cheerful situation. Visualise the situations, bring the person in your mental portrait and pray for them to get the power of humility.
