Self Esteem

Self-esteem is all about how much we feel valued, loved, accepted, and thought well of by others — and how much we value, love, and accept ourselves. Building esteem is a first step towards your happiness and a better life. If you have low confidence or low self esteem you will find it impossible to be the person you could be and your happiness will be limited.Live your life doing what feels right to you, not what someone else thinks you should do. It’s ok to listen to advice, but in the end, make the decision that feels best for you. Being a people pleaser is a very frustrating way to live. Get in the habit of pleasing yourself. You are responsible for your own happiness. Your feelings are important .

All the best to increase your self esteem !

When Time Stands Still

Meditation is the opposite of doing. It is non-doing. We spend most of our lives in doing, striving, planning, and reacting. We tend to have little awareness of the constant and relentless activity of our own mind and how much we are driven by it. That's no surprise as we hardly ever stop and observe the mind directly to see what it is up to. It takes a while for us to start looking at our mind; to get comfortable with the richness of allowing ourselves to just be with our own mind. It's a little like meeting an old friend in years. There may be some awkwardness at first. It may take some time to re-establish the bond.

Ironically, although we all have minds, we seem to need to "re-mind" ourselves of who we are from time to time. If we don't, the momentum of all the doing just takes over and we start living it's agenda rather than our own.

Visualize and Succeed

Creative visualization is a mental technique that uses the imagination to make dreams come true. Used in the right way, creative visualization can improve our life and attract success and prosperity.Visualization is a key ingredient for success in any endeavor. Imagine everything going really well - see what you see and notice your body language - notice your  breathing - notice the words you are using and how you are saying them and imagine everything flowing naturally and easily when it's going just how you want it to go.Keep running through this scenario many times until it feels really good, really easy and really achievable and take the sounds, pictures and feelings back with you into the present and open your eyes.

It's a really great idea to set aside a regular time each day to visualise or imagine a goal you want to achieve  as it becomes a natural and easy habit to embrace - a great time is last thing at night just before you fall asleep so your unconscious mind can keep on fine- tuning the goal while you are asleep and while you dream .

Have fun playing around with this idea and watch your situations gently change for the better !

Be your own boss

Is it a good time to invest your money in a venture ? If you’re interested in starting your own business you’ll find a range of ideas for businesses to start . The key to success once your own business is started is to keep learning.  Cultivate your natural abilities and grow with them.

The terror attacks scarred mumbai like nothing else . Two years on , bloodied but unbowed , the city has come to terms with the tragedy with heroic fortitude , and moved on . Mumbai has been repeatedly devastated ( riots , blasts , floods ) and repeatedly it has picked itself up and got along with the business of going on . This ineffable quality is most frequently conveyed in vulgar truism , one that people reach for as a shorthand to convey the city's indomitable nature : The Spirit of Mumbai .

Request all of you to light a candle of faith tonight at 9.30 pm .

Start your own business

Looking for some inspiration in starting your own business? Look no further! Here's what some of the world's most famous entrepreneurs have to say about entrepreneurship: "When you reach an obstacle, turn it into an opportunity. You have the choice. You can overcome and be a winner, or you can allow it to overcome you and be a loser. The choice is yours and yours alone. Refuse to throw in the towel. Go that extra mile that failures refuse to travel. It is far better to be exhausted from success than to be rested from failure." Business opportunities are like buses, there's always another one coming . The critical ingredient is getting off your butt and doing something. It's as simple as that. A lot of people have ideas, but there are few who decide to do something about them now. Not tomorrow. Not next week. But today. The true entrepreneur is a doer, not a dreamer

Meditation

Meditation is the art of staying in this present moment. A sleepy person either lives in the past moment or is dreaming about the future life. But a meditator stays in this present moment and is alert about his thoughts and actions . Concentration exercises makes the mind stronger. Meditation does not make the mind strong but it takes us beyond the mind. Meditation is all about dis-identifying with the mind. Meditation is to be alert about our thoughts and witnessing our desires rather than indulging in them . Passive witnessing of thoughts and desires transforms them. Witnessing means to watch the thoughts with out interpreting, interfering or analyzing them. Witnessing is the art of just watching the thoughts coming and going.

Creativity

There is no doubt that creativity is the most important human resource of all. Without creativity, there would be no progress, and we would be forever repeating the same patterns.Creativity is thinking up new things. Innovation is doing new things .Listen to anyone with an original idea, no matter how absurd it may sound at first. If you put fences around people, you get sheep. Give people the room they need

Responsibility

Responsibility is one of the most powerful indicators of our emotional and spiritual maturity. Indeed, our spiritual progress can be measured by the degree of responsibility we assume for our lives, and that of others
