Think Positive..

Thinking positive can work miracles. You may have been told to “guard your thoughts”, but felt the advice to be pointless. After all, your thoughts are private. How can they possibly affect someone else? The fact is, thoughts do seem to boomerang in some mysterious ways. 

Science has not found a way to measure them as they have invisible sound waves. In order to understand how positive thinking works, and how to use it efficiently, it is important to understand the power of negative thinking.

“Negative thoughts and tensions are like birds. We cannot stop them from flying near us but, we can certainly stop them from making a nest in our mind.”

The mind can be directed towards positive thinking or negative thinking. The power of thought is a neutral power. The way one thinks determines whether the results are positive and beneficial or negative and harmful. It is the same of energy acting in different ways. Persistent inner work can change habits of thoughts. You must be willing to put energy and time to avoid negative thinking and pursue positive thinking, in order to change your mental attitude. 

Think of those things which are true, honest, just, pure, lovely, in other words, to fill your mind with noble, good thoughts, leaving no room for negative ones to take root.

A simple way to think of this is to imagine your mind to be like a garden. That garden can be spoilt and overrun by negative, destructive thoughts (weeds), or it can become a place of peace and harmony by the cultivation of flowers (uplifting thoughts).

“Your mind is a garden. Your thoughts are the seeds. You can grow flowers. Or you can grow weeds.”

Are you prone to depression? Do you see your life as a hopeless mess... consider yourself a failure? If you do, then you will close your mind, see no opportunities, and behave and react in such ways, as to repel people and opportunities. You let the power of negative thinking rule your life. Try replacing such negative thoughts with positive ones. 

At first, this kind of thought control may seem like an inner game -- but you'll be surprised at how, slowly but surely, your outer circumstances begin to change. For thought precedes action, and the right thoughts precede a chain of good actions. Destructive thoughts, on the other hand, act as poisoning agents. They embitter and limit the thinker, preventing him or her from developing good relationships, because others sense the wrong thoughts telepathically, and shy away instinctively.

Conversely, if you greet people with the thought that they'll probably be nice to know, such a positive thought will affect their response. If you're afraid of someone, replace that fear with a thought which recognizes that the person's given potential "core" is probably hidden under layers of unhappiness and wrong thinking. Silently bless that person, and ask that his or her true self be given a chance to manifest.

A friend was once terribly upset because someone was spreading false rumours about her. She could not deny the rumour publicly. All she could do was pray for the woman, try to think about her charitably and visualize her acting differently. She did this consistently for some weeks. One day, unexpectedly, the woman phoned her to apologize and say she'd been mistaken.

It seemed like a miracle! But right thinking can work miracles... Life has many different chapters for us. One bad chapter doesn't mean the end of the book. Be positive and keep your faith in . Once we function in harmony with beautiful laws of love and forgiveness -- and this includes spreading good, true and beautiful thoughts -- our lives will flower as they were meant to.

“Think positive, Think different. Don't waste your precious energy on negative thoughts.”

Decide that from today, from this very moment, you are leaving negative thinking behind, and starting on the way towards positive thinking and behaviour. It is never too late. Soon your life will turn into a fascinating, wonderful journey. Wake up every morning with the thought that something beautiful is about to happen. Let’s welcome each day with a smile and bid farewell with a smile.

We thank for blessings. Take advantage of our positive energy and employ them in doing well in this life. Let's learn, read and after that, we will find the entire universe will extend to us it's heart and the whole world will hug us with its beauty...

There is something beautiful in life. You just have to find it....be positive and it will find you!

Its not the money....

Very nice story received this from a friend this morning ...

A Business executive was deep in debt and could not see any way out.
Creditors and Suppliers were demanding payments. He sat in the park,
wondering if anything could save his company from bankruptcy.

Suddenly an old man appeared before him and asked,
"I can see that something is troubling you seriously".

After listening to the executive the old man said, "I believe I can help you".

He asked the...man his name, wrote out a cheque and put it into his hands saying,
"Take this money, meet me here exactly one year from today and you can pay me back at that time".
Then he turned and disappeared as quickly as he had come.

The business executive saw in his hands a cheque for $ 500,000
signed by Warren Buffet, one of the richest men in the world.

"I can erase my worries instantly" he realized.
But instead, the executive decided to put the uncashed cheque in his safe
knowing that it might give him the strength to work out to save his business
and to use this only in case of dire emergency.

With changed thinking he negotiated better deals,
restructured his business and worked rigorously with full zeal
and enthusiasm and got several big deals.

Within few months, he was out of debt and started making money once again.
Exactly one year later he returned to the park with the uncashed cheque.

As agreed, the old man appeared.

But just as the executive was about to hand him back the cheque
and share his success story, a nurse came running up and grabbed the old man.
"I’m so glad I caught him" she cried.
"I hope he hasn’t been bothering you much.

He always escapes from the mental hospital and tells people that he is Warren Buffet", 

saying this she took the old man away.

The surprised executive just stood there, stunned!
All year long he had been dealing thinking that he had half a million dollars behind him.

Its not the money, real or imagined that turns our life around
It is our newly found self-confidence that gives us the power to achieve anything we want

It's always Us

 I AM PREGNANT SHE SAID

What makes a relationship amazing? Well here’s just some elements that make it perfect…

I found this great extract online:

“I am pregnant.” She told her man. He smiled and kissed her lips and said, “Correction my love, WE are pregnant. For that child in your womb is half of me and half of you, and I will not let you go through the pregnancy alone. I may not carry OUR child but I will carry you and our child in my heart and care. I will be the best father to our child. WE are pregnant!”


Unity, everything between a couple should be WE.  

“Be that man, in every element of your life, think, how can I better today for the one I love, has she eaten? 

Is she ok? Through thick and think… nothing should tackled alone! Unity is everything.. be there for her, don’t just hear her, listen to her intently, every moment, every emotion, every storm and share every living sunny day together.”

Love is not just a word, it’s a way of life between two people, life meaning life…

Be the old fashioned romantic, sweep her off her feet, if she fell in love with you and you her, she deserves nothing but the best of you… and you nothing but the best of her.

Oh and remember, romance isn’t just about roses and chocolates, romance is about doing the things you both like! If it’s paint balling, it’s paint balling! If its something else, do that… be spontaneous, keep life exciting, it’s not about money, anyone can buy things! It’s about those special moments that are well thought of and the moments no amount of money could ever buy.

Maybe I’m old fashioned? Many will say, yes but it takes a woman to do it all too! Yes! I agree! But I didn’t want to write he/she all over the place! Of course it applies to both

Lead by example…

Have fun! Keep smiling, be happy and spread happiness…

Live that dream.

So Be It

A Zen teacher saw five of his students 
return from the market, riding their bicycles. 

When they had dismounted, the teacher asked the students,

“Why are you riding your bicycles?”   

The first student replied,
“The bicycle is carrying this sack of potatoes.
I am glad that I do not have to carry them on my back!”

The teacher praised the student, saying,
“You are a smart boy.
When you grow old,
you will not walk hunched over, as I do.”

The second student replied,
“I love to watch the trees and fields
pass by as I roll down the path.”

The teacher commended the student,
“Your eyes are open and you see the world.”

The third student replied,
“When I ride my bicycle,
I am content to chant, nam myoho renge kyo.”

The teacher gave praise to the third student,
“Your mind will roll with the ease of a newly trued wheel.”

The fourth student answered,
“Riding my bicycle, I live in harmony with all beings.”

The teacher was pleased and said,
“You are riding on the golden path of non-harming.”

The fifth student replied,
“I ride my bicycle to ride my bicycle.”

The teacher went and sat at the feet of the fifth student,
and said, “I am your disciple.”

Needing approval more than advice

No matter what Gary did, it was never enough to please his father. When he got seven A's 

and three B's, his dad asked about the B's. When he described the wonderful girl he'd fallen 

in love with, he got a lecture cautioning that she may be different than he thought.

Gary's dad was stunned and hurt when Gary took a job in another town. He tried to talk 

him out of it, explaining the advantages of being close to the family and the pitfalls of 

moving.

Finally, Gary exploded, 'Dad, I'm moving to get away from you! I love you, but I can't stand 

the way you tear down everything I do.'

He braced himself for a counterattack, but for the first time in his life he saw his dad's mask 

of confidence dissolve into vulnerability.

With tears in his eyes, his dad stammered, 'All I ever wanted was to make you better and 

help you reach your potential and avoid risks. It's what I do. It's why my business is so 

successful. Do you want me to ignore my experience and just be a cheerleader?'

'Dad, our relationship isn't about productivity,' Gary explained.

'You're my dad. Sometimes I need praise more than a push and approval more than advice. 

Constantly trying to make me better just makes me feel worse. It's not enough that you 

love me. I need you to appreciate me.'

That's an important lesson. In personal relationships, there may be benefits to the relentless 

pursuit of better, but the cost may be too high.

WEIGHT OF A SNOWFLAKE

Not too long ago in a place not too far away, a field mouse asked a wise old owl what is the 

weight of a snowflake. "Why nothing more than nothing," answered the owl.

The mouse went on to tell the owl about the time he was resting on a branch in a fir tree,   

counting each snowflake until the number was exactly 3 million, 471 thousand, 952. Then 

with the settling of the very next flake—crack. The branch suddenly snapped, tumbling the 

mouse and the snow to the ground. "Humph …Such was the weight of nothing," said the 

mouse.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
So the next time you think your contributions, your acts of charity, your works for justice, your gifts of love, and your talents are nothing, or that they are small in comparison to those of others, remember that when one is added to another, and then to another and so forth, great things can happen from nothing. In the same way, what seems to be ordinary can be transformed into something extraordinary with just a little extra nothing.

The Japanese Consultant

Enjoy the humor of Japanese 'continuous improvement'. You will notice
that the Japanese also avoid redundant inventory carrying costs.

Now you know why we buy only Japanese (read Toyota, Subaru) automobiles.

The Taj hotel group had invited Mr. Masai Imai from Japan to hold a
workshop for its staff. The staff were very skeptical- the hotel is doing
excellent business, this person from Japan has no exposure to hotel
industry- what exactly is he going to teach?

But everybody as planned gathered for the workshop in the conference hall
sharp at 9 am. Mr. Masai was introduced to them- a not so impressive
personality, nor the English all that good; spoke as if he was first
formulating each sentence in Japanese and then translating it into rather
clumsy English.

"Good morning! Let's start work. I am told this is a workshop; but I see
neither work nor shop. So let's proceed where work is happening.
Let's start with the first room on the first floor." Mr. Masai, followed by
the senior management, the participants, the video camera crew trouped out
of the conference room and proceeded to the destination. That happened to
be the laundry room of the hotel. ****
** **
Mr. Masai entered the room and stood at the window, "beautiful view!" he
said. The staff knew it; they need not invite a Japanese consultant to tell
them this!

"A room with such a beautiful view is being wasted as a laundry room.
Shift the laundry to the basement and convert this into a guest room."
Aa Haa! now nobody had ever thought about that! The manager said, "Yes, it
can be done."

"Then let's do it.", Mr. Masai said.

"Yes sir, I will make a note of this and we will include it in the report
on the workshop that will be prepared." Manager

"Excuse me, but there is nothing to note down in this. Let's just do it,
just now." Mr. Masai.

"Just now?" Manager
"Yes, decide on a room on the ground floor/basement and shift the stuff out
of this room right away. It should take a couple of hours, right?" Mr.
Masai.

"Yes." Manager.

"Let's come back here just before lunch. By then all this stuff will have
got shifted out and the room must be ready with the carpets, furniture etc
and from today you can start earning the few thousand that you charge your
customers for a room night."
"Ok, Sir." The manager had no option.

The next destination was the pantry. The group entered. At the entrance
were two huge sinks full of plates to be washed. Mr. Masai removed his
jacket and started washing the plates.
"Sir, Please, what are you doing?" the manager didn't know what to say and
what to do.
"Why, I am washing the plates", Mr. Masai.
"But sir, there is staff here to do that." Manager Mr. Masai continued
washing, "I think sink is for washing plates, there are stands here to keep
the plates and the plates should go into the stands."

All the officials wondered - did they require a consultant to tell them
this?

After finishing the job, Mr. Masai asked, "how many plates do you have?'
"Plenty, so that there should never be any shortage." Manager.

Mr. Masai said, "We have a word in Japanese-'Muda'. Muda means delay, muda
means unnecessary spending. One lesson to be learned in this workshop is to
avoid both. If you have plenty of plates, there will be delay in cleaning
them up. The first step to correct this situation is to remove all the
excess plates."

"Yes, we will say this in the report." Manager.
"No, wasting our time in writing the report is again an instance of 'muda'.
We must pack the extra plates in a box right away and send these to
whichever other section of Taj require these. Throughout the workshop now
we will find out where all we find this 'muda' hidden."

And then at every spot and session, the staff eagerly awaited to find out
muda and learn how to avoid it.

On the last day, Mr. Masai told a story.

"A Japanese and an American, both fond of hunting, entered a jungle with
guns. In the pursuit of game they entered deep jungle and suddenly realized
that they had run out of bullets. Just then they heard a lion roaring. Both
started running. But the Japanese took a short break to put on his sports
shoes. The American said, "What are you doing? We must first get to the
car."
The Japanese said, "No. I only have to ensure that I remain ahead of you."
All the participants engrossed in listening to the story, realized suddenly
that the lion would stop after getting his victim!

"The lesson is competition in today's world is so fierce, that it is
important to stay ahead of other even by just a couple of steps. And you
have such a huge and naturally well endowed country. If you remember to
curtail your production expenditure and give the best quality always, you
will be miles ahead as compared to so many other countries in the world.",
Mr. Masai.

HAPPY IMPROVEMENT...**

By three methods we may learn wisdom

“By three methods we may learn wisdom:
First, by reflection, which is noblest;
Second, by imitation, which is easiest; and
Third by experience, which is the bitterest.” (Confucius)

Experience may be bitterest method to become wise but there can be no wisdom without experience. Experience connects your inner world with the outer world-theories with practice. But for our experience, we may believe anything and everything. That is why when a young man enters in a real world with almost two decades of studies and knowing a great amount of theories, he faces the bitterest experience of life. It is because, his theories seems to fail him in the real life. Yet only by failing, he is compelled to use the alternative theories and learn life and learn application of knowledge. When we fail in our real life, we always learn a lesson which we may miss when we succeed. Hence experience is must to become wise.

Imitation is easy only in the beginning. Soon we realize that it does not work most of the time since each one of us is different and also because the world is constantly changing. Since, we are all different, we can not easily fit into someone else shoes. It is painful to imitate anyone and live someone’s else life. Moreover, we also learn nothing by copying a person unless we are constantly introspecting, reflecting and learning from the experience. Yet, imitation is necessary as it is a waste of time to reinvent the wheel each time. If we follow the successful people with proper application of mind, it is surely much easier path than to learn the same rules by random application of principle and failures.

Reflection seems to be noblest as from outside as there seems to be no conflict. Yet, in reflection, the battle is fought within the mind. So in the beginning, peace is lost as mind is finding its own solution by creative imagination. Gradually, when refection becomes mature, solution may just pop up when we are faced with problems.
Thus reflection, imitation and expertise are all required for wisdom.

The 18th Camel

There was a father who left 17 camels as the inheritance for his three sons. When the father passed away, his sons opened up the will. The Will of the father stated that the eldest son should get half of 17 camels while the middle son should be given 1/3rd (one-third) and the youngest son should be given 1/9th (one-ninth) of the 17 camels.

As it is not possible to divide 17 into half or 17 by 3 or 17 by 9, the three sons started to fight with each other.

So, the three sons decided to go to a wise man. The wise man listened patiently about the Will. The wise man, after giving this thought, brought one camel of his own and added the same to 17. That increased the total to 18 camels.

Now, he started reading the deceased father's will.

Half of 18 = 9. So he gave the eldest son 9 camels

1/3rd of 18 = 6. So he gave the middle son 6 camels

1/9th of 18 = 2. So he gave the youngest son 2 camels.

Now add this up: 9 plus 6 plus 2 is 17, and this leaves one camel, which the wise man took back.

The attitude of negotiation and problem solving is to find the 18th camel i.e. the common ground. Once a person is able to find the 18th ground the issue is resolved. It is difficult at times.

However, to reach a solution, the first step is to believe that there is a solution.

If we think that there is no solution, we won't be able to reach any!

After a year of no response, he went to his teacher to ask what he was doing wrong. 
His teacher asked him, "Did you buy a ticket?

How to Stick to a Habit When Life Falls Apart

We’d like to think that making positive life changes is a straight line from beginning to where we want to go.

But life has taught us differently.

Experience shows us that you can start a new habit (let’s say working out) and things go great for awhile, and then life gets in the way. Things get messy. Things fall apart. We have a few bad days, or a huge project to work on at work, or relationship problems, or a family crisis, or we get sick.

What do we do when life gets messy and our habits fall to the wayside? Well, give up, obviously.

Actually, I take that back. We tend to give up, because when things get in the way and we mess up on our habits, it’s a little discouraging, even depressing.

But it doesn’t have to be. There are a few things you can do instead:

1. Breathe. Pause for a moment, breathe, focus on the breath. Know that you are OK, in this moment. Give yourself a moment’s space to think about what’s going on in your life, and who you are.
2. Give yourself a break. If things like relationship problems get in the way of your habits, allow yourself to pause the habits until you get your life in order and let your mind rest. Rest is important. Get plenty of sleep — this is important, because when stressful things are happening in our lives, our bodies and minds need plenty of rest to heal.
3. Know that every habit has bumps in the road. There’s never a perfectly smooth path with no bumps. Seriously, no habit goes on a perfectly straight line — at least, none that I’ve created, and none that anyone I know has created. Expect the bumps, and don’t let them end everything.
4. Allow yourself to experience the messy. Things will always come up, life gets messy, painful things happen. That’s OK. Give yourself the space to experience the pain with the joy, the mess with the beauty.
5. Find a friend to help you get on track. It’s great if you can do habits by yourself, but it’s even better if you can find a friend who will do it with you, or at least hold you accountable, and help you get things back on track once things clear up for you.
6. Keep smiling!. That’s the most important thing. Smile, and you’re doing it right.

How to Change Your Life:

Start with a simple statement: what do you want to be?

Are you hoping to someday be a writer, a musician, a designer, a programmer, a polyglot, a carpenter, a manga artist, an entrepreneur, an expert at something?

How do you get there? Do you write your intention on a piece of paper, and put it in a bottle and launch it to sea, hoping it will manifest? No. The universe isn’t going to make this happen. You are.

Do you set yourself a big goal to complete by the end of the year, or in three months? Sure, but that doesn’t get the job done. In fact, if you think back on most examples in your life, setting big long-term goals probably doesn’t work very often. How many times has this strategy been successful?

I’m going to lay down the law here, based on many many experiments I’ve done in the last 7 years: nothing will change unless you make a daily change.

I’ve tried weekly action steps, things that I do every other day, big bold monthly goals, lots of other permutations. None of them work except daily changes.

If you’re not willing to make it a daily change, you don’t really want to change your life in this way. You only like the idea of learning to draw/speak Japanese/play guitar/program in php/etc. You don’t really want to do it.

So make a daily change. Let’s dig into how it’s done!

How to Turn an Aspiration Into a Daily Change

Let’s name a few aspirations:

• lose weight
• write a book
• stop procrastinating
• fall in love
• be happy
• travel the world
• drink more water
• learn Spanish
• save money
• take more pictures
• read more books

How do you turn those lofty ideas into daily changes? Think about what you could do every day that would make the change happen, or at least get you closer to the goal. Sometimes that’s not always easy, but let’s look at some ideas:

• lose weight – start walking every day, for 10 minutes at first, then 15 after a week, then 20 … once you are walking for 30-40 minutes a day, make another change — drink water instead of soda.
• write a book – write for 10 minutes a day.
• stop procrastinating – I can already hear the ironic (and original!) jokes about how people will deal with procrastination later (har!). Anyway, a daily action: set a Most Important Task each morning, then work on it for 10 minutes before opening your browser/mobile device.
• fall in love – go somewhere each day and meet/social with new people. Or do daily things that make you a fascinating person.
• be happy – do something each day to make the world better, to help people.
• travel the world – save money (see next item). Or start selling your stuff, so you can carry your belongings on a backpack and start hitchhiking.
• save money – start cutting out smaller expenses. Start cooking and eating at home. Sell your car and bike/walk/take the train. Start looking for a smaller home. Do free stuff instead of buying things.
• drink more water – drink water when you wake up, then every time you take a break (once an hour).
• learn a language – study sentences, listen to tapes 10 minutes a day.
• take more pictures – take pictures at lunch and post them to your blog.
• read more books – read every morning and before you go to bed.

You get the idea. Not all of these are perfect ideas, but you could come up with something that works better for you. Point is, do it daily.

How to Implement Daily Changes

This method is fairly simple, and if you really implement it, nearly foolproof:

1. One Change at a Time. You can break this rule, but don’t be surprised if you fail. Do one change for a month before considering a second. Only add another change if you were successful at the first.
2. Start Small. OK, I’ve said this a Million times. No one ever does it, though. Start with 10 minutes or less. Five minutes is better if it’s a hard change. If you fail at that, drop it to 2 minutes.
3. Do it at the same time each day. OK, not literally at the same minute, like at 6:00 a.m., but after the same trigger in your daily routine — after you drink your first cup of coffee in the morning, after you arrive at work, after you get home, after you brush your teeth, shower, eat breakfast, wake up, eat lunch, turn on your computer, first see your wife each day.
4. Make a huge commitment to someone. Or multiple people. Make sure it’s someone whose opinion you respect. For example, I made a commitment to studying/coding PHP at least 10 minutes each day to my friend Tynan. I’ve made commitments to my wife, to other friends, to readers of this blog, to readers of a newspaper on Guam, to my kids, and more.
5. Be accountable. Taking my programming example with Tynan … each day I have to update a Google spreadsheet each day showing how many minutes I programmed/studied each day, and he can (and does) check that shared spreadsheet. The tool you use doesn’t matter — you can post to Facebook or Twitter, email someone, mark it on a calendar, report in person. Just make sure you’re accountable each day, not each month. And make sure the person is checking. If they don’t check on you, you need to find a new accountability partner or group.
6. Have consequences. The most important consequence for doing or not doing the daily habit is that if you don’t, the people will respect you less, and if you do, they’ll respect you more. If your accountability system isn’t set up this way, find another way to do it. You might need to change who you’re accountable to. But you can add other fun consequences: one friend made a promise to Facebook friends that he’d donate $50 to Mitt Romney’s campaign (this was last year) each time he didn’t follow through on a commitment. I’ve made a promise to eat whale sushi (I won’t fail, because eating a whale is repugnant to me, like eating a cow or a child). I’ve promised to sing a Japanese song in front of strangers if I failed. The consequences can also be positive — a big reward each week if you don’t miss a day, for example. Make the consequences bigger if you miss two straight days, and huge if you miss three.
7. Enjoy the change. If you don’t do this, you might as well find another change to make. If the daily action feels tedious and chore-like, then you are doing it wrong. Find a way to enjoy it, or you won’t stick to it long. Or find some other change you enjoy more.

That’s it. Seven pretty simple steps, and you’ve got a changed life. None of these steps is impossible — in fact, you can put them into action today.

What daily change will you make today
‘A year from now you will wish you had started today.’
