“Promise Yourself

To be so strong that nothing
can disturb your peace of mind.
To talk health, happiness, and prosperity
to every person you meet.

To make all your friends feel
that there is something in them
To look at the sunny side of everything
and make your optimism come true.

To think only the best, to work only for the best,
and to expect only the best.
To be just as enthusiastic about the success of others
as you are about your own.

To forget the mistakes of the past
and press on to the greater achievements of the future.
To wear a cheerful countenance at all times
and give every living creature you meet a smile.

To give so much time to the improvement of yourself
that you have no time to criticize others.
To be too large for worry, too noble for anger, too strong for fear,
and too happy to permit the presence of trouble.

To think well of yourself and to proclaim this fact to the world,
not in loud words but great deeds.
To live in faith that the whole world is on your side
so long as you are true to the best that is in you.” 
― Christian D. Larson 

My Mother wanted me to learn music and go to a good music teacher in my early teen years. I was one easy go lucky type not serious about anything a bit but quite choosy when it comes take up my passion. One day I was crossing a beautiful garden house and heard a very sweet voice singing my favorite song. Her voice was so mesmerizing that I could n’t walk a step further . The very next day I went again and this time one my friend noticed. She told me that a beautiful lady stay here but we never talk to her and she seldom walk out. I made my mind she is one I am going to take my music lesson form . A bit desperate in my determination I went in. A very well mannered person opened the door later when I ask may I meet Mam who is singing inside and I openly state the reason for my meeting. He asked me to stand there and with broad smile He went inside. My feet were trembling want to run away but hold my nerves strong. The Man came back after 5 minutes and then take me inside may be he too was impressed by my honest confession. I saw a beautiful lady sitting in front of the piano. The room was simple but filled with grace and beauty. She call me near her and touch me with such love and care that I am drenched in bliss. But then I realize she was completely blind. She asked me to come with my Mom next day. So me and my Mom reached there in time. I get my first music teacher Adelina Belrose. Her house was a serene place where music get it’s own meaning and spending 2 to 3 hours in weekend means enriching the soul with music and wisdom. She implanted the seed of such goodness not only with words but her deeds that in my later life it helped me to fight back the many odds. The poem above was her favorite and she use to quote it often. Sometimes I felt that God had taken away her physical eyes and gifted her beautiful heart eye with which the world is forever beautiful. For six long years she was my music teacher and then with her husband and son shifted to Paris.
The house was still the same well maintained by some house keeper . It was no less than a synagogue to me .
 Last week I got a call from her son that they are returning to my city. They will stay here for a year but want to buy another furnished home near to his office ask for my recommendation. I said you better log on to Housing.com for a good hassle free choice. This week they are landing and I can’t wait to see my sweet loving Aunt Adelina and hear her song and sharing her optimistic attitude sitting in the bench  of that beautiful rose garden of her house.

 This post is part of Housing.com#LookUp. Housing envisions a world filled with positivity. As elusive as it may seem, optimism can be found all around - in the laughter of children, in the excitement on your pet's face when you get back after a long day, and in the smile of your loved ones when you go back home after months of being away. Tell us your favourite story of optimism - optimism about life, about love, about the world and its future.

Treasure Every Moment

Imagine there is a bank account that credits your account each morning with $86,400. It carries over no balance from day to day.
Every evening the bank deletes whatever part of the balance you failed to use during the day. What would you do? Draw out every cent, of course?
Each of us has such a bank. It's name is TIME.
Every morning, it credits you with 86,400 seconds.
Every night it writes off as lost, whatever of this you have failed to invest to a good purpose.
It carries over no balance. It allows no over draft. Each day it opens a new account for you. Each night it burns the remains of the day.
If you fail to use the day's deposits, the loss is yours. There is no drawing against "tomorrow."
You must live in the present on today's deposits. Invest it so as to get from it the utmost in health, happiness and success!
The clock is running!! Make the most of today.

To realize the value of ONE YEAR, ask a student who failed a grade.

To realize the value of ONE MONTH, ask a mother who has given birth to a premature baby.

To realize the value of ONE WEEK, ask the editor of a weekly newspaper.

To realize the value of ONE HOUR, ask the lovers who are waiting to meet.

To realize the value of ONE MINUTE, ask a person who just missed a train.

To realize the value of ONE SECOND, ask someone who just avoided an accident.

To realize the value of ONE MILLISECOND, ask the person who won a silver medal at the Olympics.

Treasure every moment that you have! And treasure it more because you shared it with someone special, special enough to spend your time with. And remember time waits for no one.

Yesterday is history. Tomorrow is a mystery. Today is a gift. That's why its called the present....stay blessed and be a blessing to all...may every moment of your be a journey to rich fulfillment and happiness!


Be Happy. God Bless.

It’s Time To Give A Smile

You may not have a picture perfect smile as I don’t have one but don’t stop to smile, it is the most beautiful and rare gift that God has gifted to human beings, for everyother animal can cry but they can’t smile and share one . Do you know why God has gifted this to us? Few words below is the answer to this question which will give you every reason to share this rare gift-

It’s Time To Give A Smile –Author Unknown
A Smile costs nothing, but gives much
It enriches those who receive, without making poorer those who give
It takes but a moment, but the memory of it sometimes lasts forever
None is so rich or mighty that he can get along without it,
and none is so poor, but that he can be made rich by it
A Smile creates happiness in the home, fosters good will in business,
and is the countersign of friendship
It brings rest to the weary, cheer to the discouraged, sunshine to the sad,
and it is nature’s best antidote for trouble.
Yet it cannot be bought, begged, borrowed, or stolen,
for it is something that is of no value to anyone, until it is given away
Some people are too tired to give you a smile;
Give them one of yours, as none needs a smile so much as he who has no more to give.

Be Happy. God Bless.

Weekend Quote

To laugh often and love much; to win the respect of intellingent persons and the affection of children; to earn the approbation of honest citizens and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to give of one's self; to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; to have played and laughed with enthusiasm and sung with exultation; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived - this is to have succeeded." Ralph Waldo Emerson

BE HAPPY.GOD BLESS.

Black and Gold Boxes

I have in my hands two boxes Which God gave me to hold He said, "Put all your sorrows in the black, And all your joys in the gold." I heeded his words, and in the two boxes Both my joys and sorrows I store But though the gold became heavier each day The black was as light as before. With curiosity, I opened the black I wanted to find out why And I saw, in the base of the box, a hole Which my sorrows had fallen out by. I showed the hole to God, and mused aloud, "I wonder where my sorrows could be." He smiled a gentle smile at me. "My child, they're all here with me." I asked, "God, why give me the boxes, "Why the gold, and the black with the hole?" "My child, the gold is for you to count your blessings, the black is for you to let go."

Always Remember

Always Remember  - Author Unknown

Always remember to forget
The things that made you sad
But never forget to remember
The things that made you glad.

Always remember to forget
The friends that proved untrue.
But don't forget to remember
Those that have stuck by you.

Always remember to forget
The troubles that have passed away.
But never forget to remember
The blessings that come each day.

BE HAPPY . GOD BLESS.

Be Prosperous

This post is inspired from the message of Dada J.P Vaswani-mystic,philosopher and head of Sadhu Vaswani Mission In Pune ( India). In a spiritual meeting he gave four principle of prosperity. These four principle given by him if practiced can make us prosperous in both material and spiritual world. So I thought why not share this precious message with you in my first post of the new year and the new decade.
According to him “If you think of yourself as a child of God, why do you worry? Does a child worry in presence of his or her parents? The child knows that the parent should feed him when he is hungry, gently put him to sleep when he feels sleepy. So be a child of God and your worries will vanish. As your parent , Gods wants to see you living in happiness.”
He said that prosperity comes to those “who help themselves”. “If we are energetic and enterprising, will always be open. Even in this of down turn, when people are being handed pink slips, you can always find opportunities. But for that you have to be extra enterprising. In this world of God, there is no dearth of opportunity. But worries leave our vision blurred and we can’t see the opportunities.”
His second principle is that God helps those who help others. “In this world where everyone is busy with their own affairs, people hardly have time for others. But the fact is that people who help others are richly rewarded by the Almighty.”
His third principle, those who lead honest and straightforward lives are blessed. “Many of you might dispute this. Many of you will say that you have to lie to survive in this cut- throat world. But let me tell you I have seen many people who make profits despite being honest and straightforward. There is no deviation from the law.”
Every individual has to try and incorporated God in their daily lives , said Dada Vaswani , explaining his forth law. “ You have knock on every door in life. Police, doctor- you try every one for help. But my advice is, try God. You will find that your life suddenly turns for the better.”


BE HAPPY . GOD BLESS.

You Can Fly

When life is engulfed in troubles and worries we forget that we all are angels of God, gifted with wings and we can fly as high as we want, just believe and faith in oneself can bring back to action those hidden wings which are clipped by our negative thoughts. Be positive spread your wings and believe that you can fly.


I Believe I Can Fly Lyrics - R. Kelly
I used to think that I could not go on
And life was nothing but an awful song
But now I know the meaning of true love
I'm leaning on the everlasting arms

If I can see it, then I can do it
If I just believe it, there's nothing to it

[1]
I believe I can fly
I believe I can touch the sky
I think about it every night and day
Spread my wings and fly away
I believe I can soar
I see me running through that open door
I believe I can fly
I believe I can fly
I believe I can fly

See I was on the verge of breaking down
Sometimes silence can seem so loud
There are miracles in life I must achieve
But first I know it starts inside of me, oh

If I can see it, then I can do it
If I just believe it, there's nothing to it

[Repeat 1]

Hey, cuz I believe in me, oh

If I can see it, then I can be it
If I just believe it, there's nothing to it

[Repeat 1]

Hey, if I just spread my wings
I can fly
I can fly
I can fly, hey
If I just spread my wings
I can fly
Fly-eye-eye

FLY HIGH AND TOUCH THE SKY…………
BE HAPPY. GOD BLESS.

ABHINAV BINDRA -A burning example of positive thinking.

After 112 yrs, hard work and positive thinking won the battle for India in the Bejing Olympics and the big name who create this incredible history is a 23 yr old bright young man Abhinav Bindra.

Yes it is not only for sports but in every field anybody can win the game of life and reach and make everyone proud with hard work and positive thinking.

What ever you think on a constant basis good or bad , must be a reality..

CHANGE YOUR THOUGHT AND CHANGE YOUR REALITY………

You are who you are right now……..and you are where you are right now ……..because of the total sum of thoughts you have to this point in your life.

If you have not thought about much ,you don’t have much.

If you have not consistently and relentlessly thought about how to be successful and rich, you can never be successful and rich.

Why?

James Allen put it in the best when he popularized the phrase “As man thinkenth in his heart so is he.”

A simple thought that “ I can” leads to action.

Abhinav is a bright example of that .He was out of track for one year due to a severe back pain but he never give up and shift his eye from the goal. The result that he make all the Indian proud and give a priceless gift before the Independence Day and win gold medal for every Indian.

The Universe might test you and through road blocks in front of you ,but those can’t stop you .

The only thing that can stop you achieving your goal is YOU!

If you think you can ………….YOU CAN!

Change who you are and what you have from this point forward!

Everything that you see on the outside is the direct result of the thought going on inside.

If you want to radically change your life ( and do it fast ) ,then you must radically change the way you think, because thought became habits , habits create action and action in the long run become your reality.

Open your mind- Dare to dream again.

Ask and you will receive, is the Universal law that cannot be broken.

Ask for something really good.

Know The Truth And The Truth Will Make You Successful And Set You Free.

Fear- the hidden enemy

Every person next to us is living in a state of fear, may be for lack of money,love , health or relationship.We are also sometime conciously or unconciously became part of this vicious circle. But do we realize the harm of staying in a fearful state of mind? May most of us will nod our heads and say a slight yes but we are really unaware of the fact that what a huge damage it do to our physical and mental wellbeing,It is a silent killer. A s many of us is aware of the fact that this Universe is combined of two powerful energy positive and negative. Light is a positive enrgy and darkness is negative energy.Whenever we are happy ,in peace ,in love our inner positive vibration level increases and it get attached to the positive cosmic energy and this give us vitality and all the necessary support that help us to live a healthy life both physically and mentaly.We become become a physically and emotionally stable person.But when live in a state of jelousy and fear negative vibration rise up and get connected to the negative energy of the Universe.Which in the long term take the shape of various diseases both physical and emotional.The great mystics of the east have found out that when a person live in a state of fear it add a piosonous element in the blood and take the shape of diseases. This story I have heard from a great saint of East
AvdootBabaShivanandji .That a lady went to a astrologer( please don't misunderstand me I am not showing any kind of disrespect to any profession or stream of knowledge) may be the one who is not good enough and calculating her birth chart the astrologer said "you are going to live upto 40 yrs." The lady was upset and went back home , she was fine till 39yrs then suddenly she got severly ill and died. Anybody who will listen to this story will just praise the astrologer for such a perfect prediction but the story take a new turn when the birth chart of lady fall in the hand of a genius astrologer and he calculated that the lady had a long life more than 95yrs.You must be wondering than how come the lady died so early it is because the fear in her take the shape of a severe disease and take her precious life.Whenever we are in a state of fear we are adding up to the negative energy and this is doing no good to us instead this is silently taking away our wellbeing and making our life more miserable.We can't destroy negative energy with more negative energy we need positive energy to neutralize the negative force. Though life some time bring some unsolved problem a situation that shatter our welbeing then in that darkness you can chant this lines-GOD LOVES ME MORE THAN I COULD EVER IMAGINE .HE/SHE IS ALWAYS WITH ME WITH ALL HIS/HER LOVE CARE AND HAPPINESS AND DIVINE GUIDE.HE/SHE IS BLESSING ME ALWAYS TO HAVE TRULY BEAUTIFUL DESEIRED HAPPY DIVINE LIFE.

"Courage is not the lack of fear but the ability to face it."
---- Lt. John B. Putnam Jr. (1921-1944)

Be Happy. God Bless.
