Year 2010 - Best so far

Well, no matter what is going on in our minds, we still have a choice to feel and be happy. Because we are still better than the millions, may be billions.

May this be the best year in our lives so far. Amen.

Motivation : Something we all should have

It's Inside Us.

There have been a lot of complaining going around here on this blog, some great people insisting and telling me that I really haven't been able to update my blog, in the real true sense of updating it. :)

Reason? The way I see it, it was the motivation. I wasn't motivated to update it, that regularly, rather was focused and motivated regarding my other stuff. Since realizing that it was the motivational factor that caused the delay, I thought I should say something about it.

Everybody really needs to be motivated about something. Yes, you read it right. NEEDS TO BE. We all humans need some targets in our lives, that result into our ambitions or aspirations, and for those we all need to be well motivated. The best kind of motivation to me is the self-motivation.

Self-motivation is something, that is not hard to find. It's rather just a difficult realization. We all know, its going to come from ourselves. It's inside us. But seldom we all realize. We end up telling ourselves that looking for this kind of motivation doesn't worth it.And we don't need it. But its WRONG. Being self-motivated is a proof, that you know your purpose. And we all have some purpose, don't we?

Sometimes we look for other factors that motivate us. That I call the external factors. They are strong like money, success, fame, or acceptance. BUT, the strongest of them all is the motivation that doesn't need any external factors, its the self-motivation.

...find out, what you really love to do

To know what you want to do; To know what you will be doing; And to know what is that thing when you do it you will be the happiest. Such thoughts, are the indicators, that yes you are self-motivated. So for that the first step is to find out, what you really love to do. I mean really really really really love to do.

Just for one moment, forget about the environmental circumstances, and think. Think clearly. Think ideally. What do you really want? And when you find it out. Attach passion to it. Just go on doing it, regardless of whatever is happening around. You will find motivation. You will be doing it all by yourself, without even pushing yourself.

Remember, its easier said than done. So better try doing it, rather then just thinking about it. Like any other habit, you would just need to keep on trying and practising. One day you will savour.

Good luck.

Chris Daughtry - Open up your eyes

This post is not just about sharing this song with the world, its more about the essence I want to share out of it. That is, just for once, get out of your current situation, look at the nature, look without the blurry conscious of your seemingly regretful sorrows, and you might find the peace that you've been looking for. Nothing matters more than what you really wanna see in the world. Enjoy the song :)

For the first time you can open your eyes

And see the world without your sorrow

Where no one knows the pain you left behind

And all the peace you could never find

Is waiting there to hold and keep you

Welcome to the first day of your life

Just open up your eyes

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! :)

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!
