Power Of Giving Thanks
Posted by Shruti in Power of giving Thanks on Tuesday, July 28, 2009
In my opinion ‘Thank You’ and ‘Sorry’ are the two most beautiful words in this world to express our Gratitude and Guilty.
Thank You seems like a simple word but you can’t imagine how much it can matter. It is not just a word to say when we are the recipient of some material gift. It is something that we should feel from our heart.
It’s about what we experience when we say Thanks and receive Thanks.
When we say Thanks to the person from whom we had a great help, the thanks makes u feel happy as well as the person who is receiving it.
When people thank us, we’ll definitely have the contentment that, some one is happy today because of me. Some one is smiling because of me.
Most of us believe that, we don’t need to say Thanks to our parents or friends. The common thing what we hear always, “There is no room for thank you and sorry in Friendship”
I don’t agree with this. I believe when we show gratitude by telling Thanks, no matter to your parents or friends, we are encouraging them and making them feel happy & proud.
Sorry is the word through which we can beg pardon, and express our guilt. And it is always good to realize our mistake and be sorry for it.
When we are sorry there are more chances of being forgiven and patch up the relationship. It is never too late to say I m sorry.
I realize that some people do not say ‘Thank you’ ‘Sorry’ ‘Please’ .It’s is not that they do not appreciate it but simply do not think it is necessary
Some times people go to cash counters or booking counters, get their work done and just walk away. Why?
Why can’t they say Thank you? Why cant they ask them, How are you doing today?
It costs nothing to be respectful or to say a genuine Thank you.
I always Thank people who comments on my blog. It is a fashioned courtesy more than a genuine gratitude or appreciation. But I feel so good when I see their Comments. How else to show my Happiness.
We should always have fun while we express Thanks. Saying Thank you and being polite might be so simple, but they do have a huge impact on others and on the world.
End of pop star - Michael Jackson
Posted by Shruti in Michael Jackson on Tuesday, July 21, 2009
The World is poorer today, feels like we lost a familiar.
The pop world wouldn’t be the same if he was not brought in to it.
In past few weeks, his childhood story has gained a revival of interest
People are more interested to know about the man behind the cosmetic mask.
I would like to share the lyrics of his song ‘Childhood’
Before you judge me, try hard to love me,
Look within your heart then ask,
Have you seen my Childhood?
People say I’m strange that way
‘Cause I love such elementary things,
It’s been my fate to compensate,
For the Childhood I’ve never known…
This is so touching.
He suffered a lot in this life. I wish he is safe in the next world
We all will miss him, he will live in our hearts for ever.
May his soul Rest in peace.
Fear Is The Mind Killer
Posted by Shruti in Fear Is The Mind Killer on Friday, July 17, 2009
The one emotion that we all are struggling to live with is Fear.
Fear invites us in different ways. Fear is the major reason for all our negative feelings, thoughts, actions so on.
We turn on the TV and sometimes watch some crime stories and some terror news. What do we experience in us is nothing but Fear. Terrorism is just based on promoting fear all over. More than the awareness of terrorism what prevails everywhere is Fear.
Fear is the emotion that stops us from doing many things. We can’t even put our effort to try whether it is possible to meet our goals and objectives. It’s the force that pulls us back from anything and everything.
One more face of fear makes us feel that we are all alone in the world .We all have the Fear of Loosing things. We never want to loose or harm the things we love the most. This fear I guess each one of us possess. Some times we do wrong things out of fear of loosing something that is very close to our heart. This fear has several impacts on us.
One main emotion that is rooted in Fear is ANGER. There are many other emotions like jealousy, hatred, envy, arrogance which are also rooted in Fear.
In today’s world most of us are so self absorbed that we don’t bother nor care for the people around. We are always focused on making our life better by increasing the digits in our salary, shifting on to new houses, buying the best car, solving problems with family with friends and many more. May be that’s the reason we feel justified to be stuck in our misery and shower it on other people in the form of anger.
When I am in some great pain and misery, most of the time I am rude to some people.
I am not proud of it but I am in so much pain. Here rudeness may be something like a cry for help. But there is no use out of it, coz in turn it gives us more pain and more misery.
The sad part is, the ruder I was the more pain I received.
I think this rudeness is just the change that happens in our minds due to fear and we are not aware of what exactly we are doing. What we should do or what we should have done.
All emotions are so interconnected fear, anger, rudeness, arrogance. They make us handicapped.Fear is at the root of it all.
Is our fear justified, or not?
When You Smile :)
Posted by Shruti in Your Smile on Wednesday, July 15, 2009
Smiles are beautiful, attractive, comforting, inviting, fulfilling, appreciative, compassionate, and energizing. All these things are hidden in just one word SMILE.
50% of our communication is non-verbal, eyes and smile are the most powerful tool of communication.
Smile gets a kind of pleasure to the one who smiles and the one who witnesses.
When you see some one smiling you get a smile on your face without your knowledge.
If someone is smiling over the phone you can hear it in their voice. There will be a energetic shift in the atmosphere when some one smiles.
One smile is as good as saying You Are Forgiven. One smile is as good as saying Thanku. Smile expresses the feeling of happiness in us.
One smile can affect everyone in the room.
Now let us try an exercise with our smile: Move your lips to expose your teeth while keeping your mouth closed. Now use your cheek muscles to pull the corners of your lips outward, and so on. Wow what a SMILE.
Many emotions are conveyed with a smile. Your facial nerves, your feelings, and your emotions are all interconnected
If you can just recall those times when u have met a stranger and smiled simultaneously.
I’m sure the hardest part is being the first one to smile.
Speaking about myself, my co-workers smile at me almost every time we cross paths. At times there is nothing to speak just a unconditional smile.
And when I don smile they enquire if something went wrong, If I was bothered.
Well when I m in a sour mood I do have a reason to be.
When there is a request to smile from someone that will have an automatic effect in our attitude and we tend to smile.
Let’s enjoy the power of our smile. Have you smiled yet today?
Whoz smile you like the most?
Shades Of Angels
Posted by Shruti in Shades Of Angels on Tuesday, July 14, 2009
Do u believe in angels? Do they really exist?
Many people do believe that angels are all around us. Not every one convinced with this.
But the whole concept of existence of angels is really beautiful though we believe it or not. There are so many people who have experienced some unusual things and they say it is the presence of an angel.
There is another belief that when there is sudden blow of joy or peace that comes to us in the middle of grief. That is, the sudden feeling of ‘Everything is going to be OK’ we get when we will be thinking it’s the end of world, is the presence of angels.
They believe that the angels embrace us in their wings and protect us from the dangers that we don’t see.
There is no miracle happened in my life. Nor I have anytime experienced any feeling of angel’s presence. But I wish I cud some time.
Well the stories of angels make us believe in the possibility of their existence.
These angel stories are same as the genie tales and stories. I m very fascinated about these. In my childhood I always wished to have a genie as my friend who would grant me 3 wishes and always help me in my exams. I believe many of us would have longed for this.
I wish to hear from my readers. Do you believe in angels? Do share your Angel encounter stories if any. Or what would be your 3 wishes.
Acceptance Of Uniqueness In Others
Posted by Shruti in difference, Uniqueness on Sunday, July 12, 2009
It is always difficult for people to accept others who are different. By different I mean
difference in Religion, Color, Intelligence, Politics, Sexual preferences.
Or differences may be small like differences in food habits, taste in music, colors, dressing sense, opinions.
But I think we can never grow if we are so bound to the only one who same like us.
Yes off course it is a really great to be with the one who mirrored us. We will definitely enjoy the similarities, the coincidences happening among us.
What if all food tasted the same, all drinks coated our tongue with the same flavor, all
perfumes released the same aroma, and all houses were just same as each other? How
boring life would be! There would be less inspiration and less creative expressions.
We all know that there is no body else like us in this world. No body can know us better
than we know ourselves- yet some people hardy know themselves!
We always advocate for ourselves with self-love and understanding, recognize what we
offer, accept ourselves and appreciate our talents. But why don we respect the same in others?
We do commit mistakes and forgive ourselves N times. But why don’t we forgive others?
I think we should always accept people the way they are and don’t expect them to behave the way we like.
Initially, we appreciate their uniqueness. But over time, however we begin to notice little things about the new person, and we feel we could improve them and we try to change them. Instead it’s always better to get these things into their attention. And some times instead of trying to fix them; the more peaceful way is to love them for their differences.
This gives life variety and off course diversity.
I think we should always keep our mind open to learn and to accept what is new and different. We should realize what we lack and I’m sure others who differ from us can teach us.
Truly, we should love ourselves more and do all that builds our self-esteem. Then we will automatically tend to pass that love and esteems on others.
By Accepting the Uniqueness in Others we will also appreciate what is unique in us.
We should celebrate the differences we all have and Live each day with peace and acceptance.
