Secrets of the Rich

...... Hi Friends, A person faces emotional challenges when he realises that he is not going to fulfill his dreams working on the path that he has chosen no matter how hard he tries. In my earlier post I had written that you must choose a path that can lead to your Dreams. Most of us realize it around the age of 40 or beyond that our dreams relating to Finances, Time for Family or even Fitness are not going to be fulfilled because we are working very hard for others dreams that we have no time left for Family or even a regular fitness routine. Wealth creation ? Forget it and, at that stage we are full of responsibilities towards the family and have so much of liabilities that we can not even dare to change the path with the kind of EQ that we have acquired. We continue with the RAT RACE. All legal and socially acceptable paths are good if it leads you to your dreams. It depends on what your dreams are. I have talked to many people and, in India, most of them dream of a Merc or a BMW, n

AN INTRODUCTION TO A MOVIE “THE SECRET”

Let me begin with giving a brief introduction about how the movie came into existence. It’s based upon a book which too is called ‘The Secret.’ I will begin by telling you something that the author said, “A year before I wrote the book, my life had collapsed around me, I worked myself into exhaustion. My father died suddenly and my relationships were in turmoil. Little did I know at the time, that out of my greatest despair was to come the greatest gift. I was given a glimpse of a great Secret.” She began tracing the secret back through history. The secret was buried. The secret was coveted. The secret was suppressed. The secret was never revealed to the public. She couldn’t believe the people who knew this. They were the greatest people in History. The names include Plato, Shakesphere, Newton , Hugo, Beethoven, Lincoln , Emerson, Edison , Einstein. She said all she wanted to do then was to share the secret with the world. She started searching for all the people alive today who know

Lessons for Life

I came across some wonderful quotes, inserted them on some beautiful flower photos because when you see beauty, the mind is more receptive. This is the first step if we want to achieve anything in life because it is the dreams that everyone of us are pursuing. In our pursuit, some of us let our Dreams fade away, some allow it to be stolen by others knowingly or unknowingly. Some of us confuse Dreams with path which is just a means we have chosen to fulfill our Dreams. Many of us don't know what Dreams are because we are surrounded by Nightmares. Wishes are NOT Dreams . Optimist is a person who has Hope alive in him. Good Life is the biggest Enemy of Great Life and makes us pessimist when we make excuses for not making certain efforts Oh Yes !! Opportunities don't knock your doors everyday. But those who are looking for opportunities, will certainly see them. Opportunities are always opportunities and are never stupid. It is the people who make it big are Great and people who d

Flowers can teach us

Beautiful flowers give us joy and then our mind is more receptive

Patience

Having been given the perfect situation to practice my patience I was thrilled to find the following quotation online. Patience is a reflection of the peaceful mind. My peaceful mind is able to cope with all situations without becoming disturbed and agitated. It calmly accepts the resolution of circumstances and, with this patience acquires the power to deal with all situations. ~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu. The development of a peaceful mind is so important to so many opportunities in life, and it so often appears that the agitation a nd stress we put on things delays the completion of situations and circumstances. I find myself wondering what else can be achieved with calm focus and a peaceful state of mind.

Bucket Carrier or Pipeline Builder ?

"Parable of Pipeline" by Burke Hedges A simple yet a very powerful concept explained in a very simple way by Burke Hedges in his book " Parable of Pipeline ". If we are working for money spending maximum time at work and neglecting our family, health. hobbies and entertainment; a time will come when we may have regrets because we were unable to have a balanced life and time doesn't wait for any one. A bucket carrier gets paid only as long as he carries buckets of water. Bucket symbolises individual performance based work. Due to health, sickness, age or recession or even disliking by boss or politics to replace you with some favoured person , we may not be able to perform but the requirement for money doesn't stop. Infact, it increases most of the time. A bucket carrier is mostly under pressure and a stressed person due to the knowledge that he may not be able to perform for reasons beyond his control. He lets the other factors control his life and feel
