New year resolution for 2010

I am JUST GOING TO DO IT!

Imagination and Albert Einstein

There are two quotes I read today, and I can't help sharing them. So here they are, read and think for a while.

“Imagination is everything. It is the preview of life's coming attractions.”

and

“Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited to all we now know and understand, while imagination embraces the entire world, and all there ever will be to know and understand.”

Albert Einstein

When hope works...

Napoleon Hill once said:

"Every adversity, every failure, every heartache carries with it the seed of an equal or greater benefit."

What do we see being emphasized here? Whatever we are going through, whatever negative, it does contain an opportunity to reach out and grab the positive. All that we will make us believe that it is possible, is our HOPE. and Faith in our fates, that well-being is not just a prisoner of uncontrolled fate. Rather also requires some input from us.

Change. Hope. Both work along. We can't bring in a positive change unless we are hopeful. And we can't just be hopeful and wait for things to happen. We need to and we should take a step. Be the change. It's an uphill drive for sure. But it sure does worth it.

So don't let the bad times, pull you down. Rise up. Fight!

Alter Bridge - Before tomorrow comes

Talk of a song, that brings out the best in you. Feeds you the motivation you need. The trigger to the internal drive. Its really one of those. Music, pumps the energy in the lyrics. In turn the combination is a booster for many. Its theme is very true. Its all about what you really wanna believe in. Staying back, and fighting your way up to the clouds, or falling back, denying to be happy. Choose right now!

The best lines from the song are:

So don't let it be

Before tomorrow comes

Before you turn away

Take the hand in need

Before tomorrow comes

You could change everything

And the song ends up with the line .. the essence of being truly a human:

We could be so much more than we are

Oh this much I know

Believe in yourself. and Be the trigger to happiness.

Life : A guest house

Today, I got to read a great piece of writing. It was shared by Danielle LaPorte, here.
It describes life as a guest house. And events as guests. My favorite lines are at the end, that are:

"...Be grateful for whoever comes,
because each has been sent
as a guide from beyond."

Indeed, that is how we should be reacting to the events in our lives. Because in the end, its our reaction, and choices that shape our lives. Choose to be happy, no matter what.

Okay, one more year passed, successfully

So here it is, another year I lived through successfully :). Its been a roller coaster. and expecting same ahead. Have seen a lot, learnt a lot. Experienced new things. Professionally; Personally. I have done well, but there is room for improvement. 

Yes, I am one year older but more content; and composed. More control over nerves. Keeping the best things to come along to the next year. and hoping for the best to come:)

Today's my birthday. the 12th of may.

Not to miss, I got to know a lot of good people through blogs. From whom, i learn something new everyday, and get to share somethings. Cherish that. So thank you; each and every one of you :)

Having a busy day so far. :)

One of the things that I have learnt so far is, never give up. never give up on your dreams. Unless you're sure, it's over. But at the same time, if you really care about some one, and that some one is willing to break free. Let it happen. What's really yours, will come to you. Just believe. Things can be simpler. We cannot have everything. Cherish, what we have. This life, will never be problem free. Its not perfect, unless YOU see it perfect. Things will fall apart. Nature's nature. It's us, who can make a difference, in our lives. and of course in lives of others.

May I be blessed with the power of helping others. and Making their lives easier. and Helping others realize and understand their problems. And to help them, figuring out the solution. Amen.

First step

This is just a random post. Been circling my own mind, clueless. Tossing up and down the neurons, and they are not tired at all. They are the ping pongs. Ping pongs of my free mind. :)

There's been a lot of planning. No actions. Bad. So, I engaged myself into a lot of stuff. Of course, that interests me. So, now planning feels like worthwhile.

Point is, there is no point making a plan, if its not going to turn into an action. And considering the conversion rate I see now after so much effort, it feels motivating. Feels like thinking ain't bad after all.

Well, they say its all about the first step. Okay, if not all, its mostly about the first step. Better take it, better than regretting later.

So, if you are thinking of doing something, and ONLY thinking about it. Better put it into action, just believe in it. You'll know, if its going to work or not. :) Try!!

As far as I am concerned, I wanna achieve so much. Let's see... what happens.

Reclaiming Dreams

Don't we all have dreams? Some things we want to achieve in our lives. But seldom we let ourselves pursue them. We consider the people who actually make a run for it, LUCKY!

But the fact is, we have to do something. I came across a post, regarding what holds you back from your dreams. The link is at the end of this post. I agree with it. But, things can be difficult because circumstances are different with everybody. But, the possibility is there. It is. 

The only basic reason for not doing it is that we start doubting it. Uncertainty comes into action. But here is a line from that post that puts up the right thing so clearly:

"No one knows how to make their desires real prior to taking the first step. Knowing comes from doing. Paths are made by walking."

So, we got to give them a try, most of us are busy, in work and home life. or studies and home life. But, if we really want something, i mean really really want it, at least we can take few steps in that direction. Just to see, just to KNOW, if that's the path you want. 

The examples (given in the post) for having doubts and not being able to step forward are:

• Not knowing what will happen if you fail.
• Being afraid of going for what you want.
• Lack of belief in yourself.
• Fear of being wrong.
• And yes, sometimes even fear of success.

And, I agree with them. Thinking clearly is very important. Being uncertain is not. 

Someone once told me, taking risks is really important (calculated ones though). We should. 

An Eagle wont know for sure that she can fly, unless she pushes herself into the air out of the nest. (of course better to have someone to make the push, that helps. A lot).

So, go for it... go go go! :)

Pearl Jam - Release

This song is surreal. The feel of it, carried me away. Been listening to it for quite some time now. The live performance I am sharing, is magestic. I wish that I were there. The lyrics are strong. Deep. Intriguing. Putting them here as well...

The Lyrics

Pearl Jam - Release

Father...ooh...oh...oh...

I see the world, feel the chill

Which way to go, windowsill

I see the worlds on a rocking horse of time

I see the verse in the rain

Ohh...ohh...ohh...ohh...

Oh, dear dad, can you see me now

I am myself, like you somehow

Ill ride the wave where it takes me

Ill hold the pain...

Release me...

Ohh...ohh...ohh...ohh...

Oh, dear dad, can you see me now

I am myself, like you somehow

Ill wait up in the dark for you to speak to me

Ill open up...

Release me...

Release me...

Ohh...ohh...ohh...ohh...

Some changes are for good...

Some people get scared of the changes happening around them. Some can't handle them, just being scared with the thought that why are they happening? and what would they do about it? They get scared of the thoughts like, whats next? what would be the result of the change? Then the ultimate thought arises, that is it for the good or the bad??

But to be on the best side of things, instead of thinking, that this change would be about something bad in your life, its better to think positive, and hopeful. Because thinking hopeless wont help, so there is no harm in giving a chance to your hopeful, and consistent positive thoughts. Just think, make it your state of mind, that you will get the best out of the change, because some changes in life are the blessings in disguise. Changes seem initially unacceptable, but as the time moves on, they turn out pretty well. 

Every human deserves the best out of life. If its not happening, thinking negative won't help either, so the best bargain is you keep your mind hopeful for the good things. Because thinking negative will only make you feel worse, not better, not ready. Instead, being hopeful, also makes you feel better.

Accept the changes, work with them. Expect the best output. Expect the best for yourself. Expect the best of you.

Good luck to all.

Peace!

Eagles - Get over it

This is one of those tracks, that gives us the reality shot. Boosts me up like anything.  You will get the message, when you will listen the song, and read the lyrics through. The end result for me is: I have to keep myself enjoying and struggling rather than complaining. 

Learn; move on; conquer.

The lyrics:

"Get Over It" by "Eagles"

I turn on the tube and what do I see 

A whole lotta people cryin' "Don't blame me" 

They point their crooked little fingers ar everybody else 

Spend all their time feelin' sorry for themselves 

Victim of this, victim of that 

Your momma's too thin; your daddy's too fat 

Get over it 

Get over it 

All this whinin' and cryin' and pitchin' a fit 

Get over it, get over it 

You say you haven't been the same since you had your little crash 

But you might feel better if I gave you some cash 

The more I think about it, Old Billy was right 

Let's kill all the lawyers, kill 'em tonight 

You don't want to work, you want to live like a king 

But the big, bad world doesn't owe you a thing 

Get over it 

Get over it 

If you don't want to play, then you might as well split 

Get over it, Get over it 

It's like going to confession every time I hear you speak 

You're makin' the most of your losin' streak 

Some call it sick, but I call it weak 

You drag it around like a ball and chain 

You wallow in the guilt; you wallow in the pain 

You wave it like a flag, you wear it like a crown 

Got your mind in the gutter, bringin' everybody down 

Complain about the present and blame it on the past 

I'd like to find your inner child and kick its little ass 

All this bitchin' and moanin' and pitchin' a fit 

Get over it, get over it 

It's gotta stop sometime, so why don't you quit 

Get over it, get over it

Creed - Higher

This is another of those tracks, that remind me of my ambitions, my pursuit of dreams, my search of a satisfied existence in this world. I believe in progress; in moving ahead; in overcoming the challenges. 

'Higher' brings out the belief in myself through which dreams are followed with complete confidence. Makes me believe that sometimes its our efforts that matter the most, not the actual target or desitnation.

Believe in yourself. Build dreams. Follow them. Achieve.

Link of the song 

The lyrics:

"Higher" by "Creed"

When dreaming I'm guided to another world 

Time and time again 

At sunrise I fight to stay asleep 

'Cause I don't want to leave the comfort of this place

'Cause there's a hunger, a longing to escape 

From the life I live when I'm awake 

So let's go there 

Let's make our escape

Come on, let's go there

Let's ask can we stay? 

Can you take me Higher?

To a place where blind men see 

Can you take me Higher? 

To a place with golden streets

Although I would like our world to change 

It helps me to appreciate 

Those nights and those dreams

But, my friend, I'd sacrifice all those nights 

If I could make the Earth and my dreams the same 

The only difference is 

To let love replace all our hate 

So let's go there 

Let's make our escape 

Come on, let's go there 

Let's ask can we stay? 

So lets go there, lets go there,

Come on, lets go there

Lets ask can we stay?

Up high I feel like I'm alive for the very first time

Set up high I'm strong enough to take these dreams

And make them mine 

Set up high I'm strong enough to take these dreams

And make them mine 

Can you take me Higher?

To a place where blind men see 

Can you take me Higher? 

To a place with golden streets

My Asylum

Finally i have some time to put something up. This is something I wrote for myself, when life was letting me down, with every new trick in the book. Now I smile at those times. And this thing shows how I felt back then. But now this simple write up, helps me believe in myself. Here's the read.

My Asylum

Let us put our hands together,

raise ourselves higher forever,

breath in dangers, breath out life,

ditch the devil, have an angel by my side,

truth in my hands, falling through lies,

falling through darkness, through the blind skies,

seeking asylum in myself without deceiving my soul,

Just me and myself, lets rock and roll,

expectations, lead me to the ninth sky,

a perceived asylum, somewhere where wishes fly,

rule the life, live the nature, play with the fate,

defy the truths, deceive the treacherous rhythms it make,

cant ignore, it will always be there,

here in my heart, and there, and everywhere,

live, be happy, let it be, let it through,

everything isn't perfect, your asylum is in you,

its you, hey my mind, let us be friends,

stretch strong, beyond those limited ends,

waiting for you, there isn't any one else,

let us fly, just gonna be you, me and myself.

Sleeping At Last - Careful Hands

Just got to listen to this wonderful track. It has the melody that some what feels like a healer. The meaning of lyrics are really deep for me. And also for those who want to perceive the positivity of nature, in simplest of ways.

All those out there, who are going through some kind of suffering, for those to whom life has been cruel in some way, i have just one thing to say never let go of hope. Just don't let go. Questions are answered.

Enjoy the track.

Link of the song

The lyrics: 

"Careful Hands" by "Sleeping At Last"

"Put your coat on, this city trembles.

Keep your chin up, as you untangle God

From cold blood and bruises.

We are X-rays of something broken.

Cursive bloodlines write every forecast:

An orchestration Of dissonance and innocent surrender.

When our color dies,

We will bury the ashes of time,

And we will earn new eyes.

Wrists get tired rewriting futures.

Our bodies beg us to be creatures of habit.

We are creatures of habit.

Only with careful hands

We’ll turn their fangs into feathers and cures.

Only with careful hands

We’ll divide the prisoner

From the pioneer.

Clever beauty,

Umbrellas folding.

In architecture, our lines will measure

A map to find us.

Blue ink will guide us home.

Cranes are creeping, lifting metal,

We will find new ways to settle,

Tipping scales from the killer to its prey.

I can feel the weight around us,

Climbing every rib inside us,

A sanctuary in a lion’s mouth"

Focussing pays off! : The story of a Frog

So here it goes, there were once some frogs which were stuck inside this well. All the frogs wanted to get out, but after realizing that its a touch too difficult, they gave up. All the frogs gave up except one. It kept on trying and trying. All the frogs inside the well always yelled and taunted on this one frog that he'll never get out no matter what. But this frog would just not stop. Eventually, one day, that frog did succeed in getting out. Outside the well, other frogs approached him and asked how he managed to get out? But this frog didnt listen and wondered off. The frog was deaf.

Moral: When people start mocking you and/or try to demotivate you from reaching a certain objective/milestone in life, listen to their crap from one ear and let it out the other! :)

Saying: When people start to make fun of what you are doing, know that you are excelling!

Open Road

There it is, a new beginning to the same old journey,

Midway to my destiny and expecting eternity,

Thought about losing my way,

But no, I m here to stay,

 

I can see a wide open road in front of me,

This life still can be an endless sea,

Across the high mountains, there is a land,

Just for me, to think; and to understand,

 

Just have to let myself know, what my heart desires,

In this hollow world, there is something that inspires,

Like seeking a lost valley with a golden river,

A wind of glory, that takes away your shiver,

 

Even if I lose my soul, but still I would live,

Even if I have nothing, but still I would give,

Every corner has something, so I won’t flee,

Yes, this life is an open road to me,

 

Sometimes I can’t decide what’s right,

Feels like driving through a dark night,

But still life has the answers and the light,

‘Cause yes, life is an open road, with an extraordinary might.

Inspired by the song: "Open Road" by Bryan Adams

A beginning to my blogging career

Here it is, realizing a wish, writing up my first blog.

I have always been into seeking inspirations, and turning them into my strengths. There is always something that clicks someone positively; clicks them to move ahead in whatever phase of life they are in. Hope never dies. It’s our faith in its existence that dies, eventually.

Inspirations and aspirations can be found anywhere, in any form. All you need to feel them is your faith in hope and success.

There is no particular reason, to start blogging, it's just a wish. It’s just a representation of what I think and perceive. :)

Nothing’s perfect. But still you want things to turn out perfect for you. For me following aspirations, is more important than hoping to get perfect one day. Merriam-Webster defines aspirations as “a strong desire to achieve something high or great”. Eventually, it comes down to our efforts, plus our desires to achieve what we want the most.

Our job is only to turn a desire into a passion. Rest flows. Persistent efforts are required.

Inspirations become your strength, and aspirations become your targets. Passion becomes the driving force to achieve those and keeping you focused.

Good Luck to all. Peace!
