I don't know whether there is something called as UNCONDITIONAL LOVE but I really love you for the person you are!

Quit the job you don’t like

noreply@blogger.com (LBJirel) — Fri, 23 Oct 2009 03:20:00 +0000

Recession is not over yet. Thousands of employees had to leave their job and many are trying to get a job. You may wonder why I am talking about quitting your job. No, I am not talking about quitting the job you have been doing but the job that you don’t like only.

This seems quite not practical always since there’s no guarantee we will get a new job that we like. Various difficulties and pressure may create in our life. We simply may not be able to handle the situation. However, what I am going to talk about is not only job.

Doing the job that you don’t like means

* You are not interested in your job.

* You will not be able to give required attention to your to your work.

* You will force your mind and your body to get involved in your job since if you really are interested in your work, internal energy will influence you to do the job.

*You may not be as creative as you might have been if you were doing the job you are interested

Talking particularly concerned about job, as I have said before, quitting our current job may be more burdens, stress and pressure for many because that may be what providing us our daily life. I mean to say foods, living, clothes etc. Nevertheless, in most cases, there is always choice, mostly better one.

I don’t know whether you agree the idea that I am going to talk about but I have seen worked in many cases. Two friends of mine who used to be best friends since school days decided to stay in the same room while studying in college. They had to do everything from cooking, cleaning to washing dishes by themselves. In the initial days, both best friends worked and studied very well.

However, as time went on, due to their misunderstanding of each other and letting everything for the other to do, they had to separate after a year and half of staying together. Now, surprisingly, these two friends are again getting close. But, How? Both of them realized that they were best friends in past and why still can’t be so again. Why that misunderstanding let that beautiful friendship turn into foe and miss one best person in the world? They evaluated their own mistakes. This might be the reason behind the reunion of many couples even after their divorce.

Doing the things you enjoy helps you to be more creative and there may be chance that you will do the same thing with less energy and more effectively. You will be able to give your full attention on your work that is necessary for workplace enjoyment and of course, excellent result.

You will regret more for doing the job you didn’t like than quitting that job even if you have to be jobless for some time. This is risky but you will feel grateful if you find the job you have been looking for in long time.

Start to be a great person

noreply@blogger.com (LBJirel) — Wed, 21 Oct 2009 03:15:00 +0000

Day before yesterday, I logged into my Facebook account quite after a long time to see updates, messages and requests from other friends. Popularity of Facebook is increasing rapidly day by day here in Nepal though I think Hi5 is still famous among many youths.

I was just going through profile of some of my friends and this particular quote by Zig zigler on Corinne's profile caught my attention. The quote says,"You don't have to be great to start, but you have to start to be great."

Giving up sometime due to one or other difficulties is not strange thing. However, not making initiative is what stopping us from being the person we wanted to be. Not starting keeps thing as it is and after some time, even if we changed our mind, we don’t have time.

You may also have been trying to do something that may be dream for other people or you yourself. If you really want to make that dream turns into reality, you must have to start right from today. You have to start at this very moment.

World Smile Day 2009 and famous smile quotes

noreply@blogger.com (LBJirel) — Thu, 01 Oct 2009 09:08:00 +0000

Since 1999, we celebrate World Smile Day on first Friday of October every year. This year, we are going to celebrate this special day on 2nd October with the theme Do an act of kindness. Help one person smile as always.

Behind the initiation of World Smile Day

Image by jgrebedw

Harvey Ball, a commercial artist from Worcester, Massachusetts created a Smiley image in 1963 that gained such widespread popularity among people all over the world that it soon became the most recognizable symbol of good cheer and happiness.

In the following years however, various people and companies used the image to make money. Nevertheless, this was not initial intent of Harvey behind the creation of the image. Being concerned by the over-commercialization of the image, he thought that we should separate al least one day every year to smile and do act of kindness. He declared that first Friday of October every year since 1999 would be marked as World Smile Day. Harvey passed away in 2001.

Smile is universal language that knows no geography, boundary and religion. Every smiling face is the beautiful face. A smile costs nothing and contagious. A wonderful smile at someone will sure make his/her day and at the same time, it will help you to freshen yourself. It takes seventeen muscles to smile and forty-three to frown.
Famous smile quotes and sayings

“A smile is an inexpensive way to change your looks.” -Charles Gordy

“People seldom notice old clothes if you wear a big smile.” -Lee Mildon

“Wrinkles should merely indicate where smiles have been.” -Mark Twain

“Always remember to be happy because you never know who's falling in love with your smile.” - Anonymous

“Beauty is power; a smile is its sword.” -Charles Reade

“You're never fully dressed without a smile.” -Martin Charnin

“A smile is the light in your window that tells others that there is a caring, sharing person inside.” -Denis Waitley

“A smile cures the wounding of a frown.” -William Shakespeare

“If you have only one smile in you, give it to the people you love. Don't be surly at home, then go out in the street and start grinning ''Good morning'' at total strangers.” -Maya Angelou

“If you're not using your smile, you're like a man with a million dollars in the bank and no checkbook.” -Les Giblin

“Smile at each other, smile at your wife, smile at your husband, smile at your children, smile at each other -- it doesn't matter who it is -- and that will help you to grow up in greater love for each other.”-Mother Teresa

“Smile, it's better than a poke in the eye.” -Doug Horton

“Wear a smile and have friends; wear a scowl and have wrinkles. What do we live for if not to make the world less difficult for each other?” -George Eliot

“A smile confuses an approaching frown.” -Anonymous

“A smile is a curve that sets everything straight.” -Phyllis Diller

"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." -Anonymous

“Smile, it is the key that fits the lock of everybody's heart.” -Anthony J. D'Angelo

As far as I have seen, still many people don't know about this day here in Nepal but in cities like Kathmandu, I think a good number of people celebrate the day.

At last, as said by Mother Teresa, “Peace begins with a smile.” let’s begin to make this world better place for human being by good smile and an act of kindness.

Meditation

noreply@blogger.com (LBJirel) — Wed, 23 Sep 2009 06:28:00 +0000

I am finally into meditation. After learning many people from around the world meditate, I thought there should certainly be some good things about meditation.

I had learned transcendental meditation about three years ago but abandoned after sometime. I don’t know why! Last month I again started it. I am almost regular until now and will continue this time though. I am experiencing those benefits day-by-day.

I like to meditate in the morning. Generally, I get up at 4:00 am in the morning and meditate for about next 30 or 45 minutes. After continuously getting up at 4 in the morning for more than a month, there is one more benefit I am getting. I do not need any alarm to get up at four these days. Of course, there may be variation of 10 or 15 minutes someday. I think I am getting up early in the morning!

What about you? Do you meditate? Why do you think meditation is important?

Famous quotes by Albert Einstein

noreply@blogger.com (LBJirel) — Tue, 15 Sep 2009 06:07:00 +0000

Every Monday is Quotes day here in Cultivate Positivity. Today is Tuesday but I couldn't write any post yesterday due to personal reason though had prepared the draft day before yesterday. I am sorry! Anyway, I am here with some famous and best quotes by Albert Einstein

Albert Einstein (1879-1955), one of the greatest scientists of all time, is German-American physicist; well known for his Theory of Relativity among others.

“The world is a dangerous place to live; not because of the people who are evil, but because of the people who don't do anything about it.”

“The value of a man should be seen in what he gives and not in what he is able to receive.”

“The true sign of intelligence is not knowledge but imagination.”

“Imagination is more important than knowledge.”

“I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones.”

“Whoever is careless with the truth in small matters cannot be trusted with important matters.”

“Weakness of attitude becomes weakness of character.”

“If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough.”

“The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing.”

“The distinction between the past, present and future is only a stubbornly persistent illusion.”

“The difference between stupidity and genius is that genius has its limits.”

“Reading, after a certain age, diverts the mind too much from its creative pursuits. Any man who reads too much and uses his own brain too little falls into lazy habits of thinking.”

“Only one who devotes himself to a cause with his whole strength and soul can be a true master. For this reason mastery demands all of a person.”

“No problem can be solved from the same level of consciousness that created it.”

“Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.”

“No amount of experimentation can ever prove me right; a single experiment can prove me wrong.”

“Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow. The important thing is not to stop questioning.”

“Common sense is the collection of prejudices acquired by age eighteen.”

“Anyone who has never made a mistake has never tried anything new.”

"One should not pursue goals that are easily achieved. One must develop an instinct for what one can just barely achieve through one's greatest efforts."

"If A is a success in life, then A equals x plus y plus z. Work is x; y is play; and z is keeping your mouth shut."

“Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance you must keep moving.”

Quotes on religion

“Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind.”

Quotes on God

“Before God we are all equally wise - and equally foolish.”

Quotes on Love and romance

“When you are courting a nice girl an hour seems like a second. When you sit on a red-hot cinder, a second seems like an hour. That's relativity.”

“Gravitation is not responsible for people falling in love.”

“Love is a better teacher than duty.”
“Any man who can drive safely while kissing a pretty girl is simply not giving the kiss the attention it deserves.”

Quotes on happiness

“Well-being and happiness never appeared to me as an absolute aim. I am even inclined to compare such moral aims to the ambitions of a pig.”

"If you want to live a happy life, tie it to a goal, not to people or things."

“Cherish yesterday,

Dream tomorrow,

Live today.”

-Richard Bach

Every day is important part of our whole life. Past is past and tomorrow is waiting for our best but for this, we need to live the moment we are now at to the fullest. Exactly I can’t remember where or who but have read somewhere someone said that tomorrow will never come. Whether tomorrow will come or not, the time under our control is the present one.

Create positive environment
Being optimistic always is helpful in any way. It may take time but gradually try your best to create positive environment that serves you, contributes for the happiness and prosperity of your lifestyle. There are many wonderful people and things in this world. Surround yourself by those nice people and things. Positivity brings Positivity and so does negativity. It is your own choice.

How or what?
Talking about redesigning your life using what you have already, just changing how you do what you are doing is always important. It is always not important to do different things to do thinking it might change your life.

Say it loudly!
You know you like that particular blue shirt which you really want to buy but the problem is, you are not sure what your friend or neighbor will think of. You are in confusion. Are you also in the same kind of scenario? Hey, just go for it. Go to the shop immediately, buy right now, wear, and see what happens. Put the important thing for you at the center of your heart. It is not important whether your friends or neighbor like or not!

Express and share
It is always better to look for solution rather than holding the thing in your life that you have difficulty with. There more you keep the problem within you, the more it will grow bigger. There is almost fixation for almost any problem. If you don’t know the solution, get help from others. There certainly must be other people who either have already solved similar kind of difficulty or will at least try to look for the solution in better way. There are chances that you will end up denying yourself if you keep on denying your weakness.

Divide
Do not spend your time at home worrying about what you do at office and your time at office worrying about what you do at home.

Lose the loser attitude
Certain phrases like would have/should have, those comes in our language due to some past actions, brings some kind of guilty feeling in us. It means you are not happy with what happened in the past or you lose something. You expect you would have performed better. Limited regret is ok but if it affects your lifestyle and there isn’t anything that you can do now to deal with the situation , then try accepting life events.

Be optimistic
Hope is life and doubt is death. Our sub-conscious mind always remains in the state of calm, peace. Develop positive attitude and try to look the world beautifully. Why do you worry about darkness? As said by Charles A. Beard, “When it is dark enough, you can see the stars.” There is spring inside you even in the winter season. The only problem with you might be that negativity has placed such strong cover that you yourself aren’t able to find the Positivity in you. Focus your attention on your achievements, successes.

Feel assertive
Confidence comes from regular and focused working. If you think you are not happy or feeling well at the time there are no any clear cause, chances are more that you will soon be affected by a disease. It is said that if you stay thinking you are poor you will never become rich. If you think you can, though it may take some time but soon or later you can and same is you can’t thinking. Never doubt your abilities.

Love yourself
Love yourself unconditionally. No one will love you if you do not love yourself. I may not sound good for saying this here. But, loving yourself here is something more here. It is about trusting yourself, your abilities, helping yourself stand firm, and motivated during hard times, doing things that helps for your prosperity, confidence.

Keep learning
The more knowledge you have, the more it will be easier for you to do things comfortably. If you have enough knowledge on any field, then you will feel confident in that field. Learning new things will keep you enjoyed in your life. Do what you love doing.

At any time, you are free to give your life the new direction. Everything happens for some reason. If there is something happened in your life that you are not happy with at this moment, even if you can’t go back and correct everything from the beginning, learn lesson. Our experiences are important in our life.

MTV EXIT: Let’s be together against human trafficking

noreply@blogger.com (LBJirel) — Wed, 09 Sep 2009 03:25:00 +0000

It has been long time since I have been in any kind of concert. A concert MTV EXIT (End Exploitation and Trafficking) Live in Nepal Concert was held recently here in Kathmandu. Supported by USAID, the concert was aimed to raise awareness against exploitation and human trafficking.

Later I came to know that human trafficking is the second largest illegal trade after drugs and annually about 15,000 Nepali people, mostly women and children are being sold mainly to neighboring countries, as domestic labor and prostitutes at prices ranging from NRs. 10,000-1,50,000. Shame on those involved in such disgusting act. Various NGOs and INGOs believe that some of these people are trafficked by their lovers and relatives for money. Many related documentaries were also shown.

However, the main attraction of the concert was popular and beautiful singer Sunidhi Chauhan. Audiences were so eager and excited to see her perform on the stage. Personally, she is one of my best singers as well. After she began to sing song after song, audience went so crazy that almost everyone started singing and dancing with her. They even didn’t care about the rain and remained enjoying until the end. I myself haven’t seen such a great live singing. What a perfect singing and performance! I felt her live singing far better than recorded songs.

Started in Cambodia as international awareness campaign, various concerts were already held in Philippines and Thailand. There will be three more concerts in Nepal at different places. After Nepal, the campaign will move to Taiwan, Indonesia, Malaysia, and Sri Lanka.

It is important for all of us to raise voice against selling and buying of human being-by-human being. If you want to know more about this campaign, simply visit mtvexit.org.

Horoscope matters!

noreply@blogger.com (LBJirel) — Tue, 08 Sep 2009 03:26:00 +0000

My astrological zodiac sign is Leo. My today's (of course all Leons) horoscope according to following sources:

Astrology.com: Your sense of fun is primed and ready to go -- so see if you can round up the gang and go do something fun! It's one of those days when you can easily pick up the rules to any odd social situation.

Horoscope.com: Today, you need to protect your life from friendly intruders by not allowing them in without an invitation. People will wander through your life, consuming your time if you let them. Controlling the flow of people through your life will give you more time to do important things.

Yahoo Astrology: Ready to be the boss? To pass out tasks, delegate authority and make sure everyone under you is towing the line? Of course you are. You've been studying for the part your entire life. Well, it's show time. Don't let anyone who's jealous undermine you, whether it's by tossing you a demeaning glance or making a snide comment. You know you're good, and you know the higher-ups know -- or they wouldn't have chosen you. Ignore the intruder. They'll definitely be gone soon.

Personally, I think there are large numbers of people who believe in horoscope. Otherwise astrology wouldn’t have developed when many scientific and technical achievements are made day by day, It doesn’t I meant to say that astrology is only about horoscope telling. Rather, latter is past of former. Talking about scientific achievements, many things described in Astrology are being proven by science. That means there certainly must be many true things in Astrology that we can’t neglect including horoscope?

As far as I am concerned, I am not regular reader of horoscope who checks every astrological sites and sources available. I have heard from someone that if you read the horoscope daily, you are more of believer. But if you don’t read, you will not believe in these kind of horoscope things.

Being a student of science, I know every principle is same whoever tells. But, I don’t think this is correct in case of some aspects of Astrology like horoscope telling. Why there are so many differences in case of the single sign? Recently, my friend and I bought horoscope books of the whole year from two different authors. After reading, we became surprised that there were more dissimilarities than similarities in both of our case. I don’t know if this is correct for others.

What about you? How often do you read your horoscopes? Do you believe in what is written in your horoscope?

Famous Quotes on Optimism/Pessimism

noreply@blogger.com (LBJirel) — Mon, 07 Sep 2009 07:54:00 +0000

Every Monday is Quotes day here in Cultivate Positivity. This Monday, I am here with some famous quotes on optimism and pessimism.

Optimism is belief or tendency to look at the bright side of everything or to hope for the best result and just opposite is pessimism. Practically, for sure, I think it is not possible always to be optimistic. However, optimism always pays better result.

Optimism quotes

"My sun sets to rise again." - Robert Browning

“A pessimist sees only the dark side of the clouds, and mopes; a philosopher sees both sides, and shrugs; an optimist does not see the clouds at all - he is walking on them.” -Leonard Louis Levinson

“The habit of looking on the bright side of every event is worth more than a thousand pounds a year.” -Samuel Johnson

“I am an optimist. I have always believed the future is going to be better than the past. And I also believe I have a role in that. The great thing about human beings, myself in particular, is that I can change. I can do better. If you can get up every day, stay optimistic, and believe the future is better than the past; those few things get you through a lot of tough times.”-Jeffrey Immelt

“An optimist is the human personification of spring.” -Susan J. Bissonette

“Deep, solemn optimism, it seems to me, should spring from this firm belief in the presence of God in the individual; not a remote, unapproachable governor of the universe, but a God who is very near every one of us, who is present not only in earth, sea and sky, but also in every pure and noble impulse of our hearts.”-Helen Keller

“There is abundant reason to believe that optimism – big, little, and in between – is useful to a person because positive expectations can be self-fulfilling.”-Christopher Peterson

“The predominant quality of successful people is optimism.... Your level of optimism is the very best predictor of how happy, healthy, wealthy, and long-lived you will be.” -Brian Tracy

“In the midst of winter, I finally learned that there was in me an invincible summer.”-Albert Camus

“When it is dark enough, you can see the stars.”- Charles A. Beard

“I can't change the direction of the wind, but I can adjust my sails to always reach my destination.” - Jimmy Dean

“No matter how dark things seem to be or actually are, raise your sights and see the possibilities - always see them, for they're always there.”- Norman Vincent Peale

Pessimism quotes

Every day can be the most memorable day

noreply@blogger.com (LBJirel) — Fri, 04 Sep 2009 05:39:00 +0000

Every day is the new day and we are free to make every day special. We’ve this wonderful life. Ups and downs are part of our life. We have other people to talk to, food to eat, mind to think wisely than other creatures on this earth, food to eat and so on. This world is full of good things and lovely people out there. Now, if you feel that each day is passing without any accomplishment or fun, let me tell you some ideas to make every day of your life the most memorable day.

1. Have fun

Every one of us has favorite singer or group of singers (For example, band) of our own. If you have time, check local venues for concert or musical shows of your favorite band or singer .You may also try new bar or restaurant or join a sports team. This will help you to stay fit and get new feelings and energy to refresh your life.

2. Learn something new

Make a list of new things you want to do or learn about and set a deadline for each thing in the list. Try always to do the things in deadline and manage time to do unfinished things if you do not meet the deadline. If you don't know how to play guitar, try that. You can try new tea at new teashop that you hadn't tasted before and where you hadn't been before.

3. Take course

Register for classes in something unfamiliar, like drawing, foreign cooking/language etc. To keep our life refreshed, there is no need to separate long period to do this kind of things. Our main aim is to distract our mind from the daily life things to the thing that are of our passion and can be done in very limited time period of time with huge positive reward though we enjoy everything we do.

4. Laugh out loud!

Try to laugh out loud even if you are alone. Go to the theater; watch your favorite comedy show on TV or buy DVD of your favorite comedy movie or movie and watch. Call your friends or relatives and crack jokes, tell humorous story. Remember, laughter is the best medicine.

5. Senior’s lesson

Some people say that life is a blank book when we born and is slowly filled or written as we grow. So many things are written in the book. You will learn valuable life lessons from someone older than you. Talk with them and ask them your questions.

6. Enjoy your coffee

Don't spend your time at home worrying about what you do at office and your time at office worrying about what you do at home. Whatever you may be doing, if you do that with full concentration of your mind on what you are doing, there is no chance of unhappiness.

7. Smile for happiness and productivity

Smile is the only one thing in the world that has no language. It costs nothing to smile. In return, we get incalculable happiness and joy. Those people who smile have more chance of being liked by his/her colleagues, friends or relatives and perform better in anything he/she does.

8. Every helping hand is that of God

Help others in their difficulties. It doesn’t matter how small that may be and ask them to help if you need support as well. Once in a month or so, participate in some kind of charitable or kindness work. Giving huge sum of money is not only the way of charity and helping others. On weekend, go to nearby child/old persons caring center and help workers there to provide meal for those old persons and children.

9. Have some time for yourself

Always busy schedule. From the moment you get up in the morning until go to bed, no time to think about yourself. This is not only our life is all about. Separate at least five minutes a day for yourself. Think about you achievements and look for more ways of improvement. Learn from your mistakes but don’t repeat them.

10. Passion and interest things

Sometime we waste our energy and valuable time doing things we are not are not interested and passionate about because we are to do so for various reasons. But, life is sometime beautiful from the other side. Doing things of our passion and interest provides us with some automatic energy and thrust that we don’t need to get from our own effort.

World is always more beautiful that you think.

Redesigning your life for better you

noreply@blogger.com (LBJirel) — Thu, 03 Sep 2009 04:12:00 +0000

Summer and winter seasons come and go. The sun rises in the morning and sets in the evening turning half of the world dark, but again rises next day with the same intensity and brightness. In the same way despite many ups and downs life continuous to go on. Some changes in our life are inevitable which are beyond our control.

Every one of us deserves the life we always wanted to live. However, life is not always bed of roses. We have to face various kinds of challenges that sometime if not tackled carefully may hamper with our lifestyle. Still in any case, there is some room for improvement. In fact, all beautiful roses are with thorns. Therefore, at any time we can redesign our life to help us live better life.

Nevertheless, redesigning for some people may mean leaving what all we have and starting completely from the beginning. Though this approach is literally correct, it’s quite difficult and not practical as well. So, redesigning our life is all about accepting and appreciating what we have and who we are and using available resources to live a better life.

Let’s take weight loss for example. Many techniques and tips from experts are available and on daily basis, different kinds of ideas are being developed. We hear reports about incredible weight loss by many celebrities. Hearing these reports, many of us (who want to lose weight) start to buy various food items completely changing our food choice and pattern. Some of these items are expensive (pressure at the time of recession!) and some are such not tasty that we even don’t want to put that in our mouth. Still we are bound to eat thinking it will help to our road to weight loss.

Some of us start fasting (I think which is good to some extent if done properly) without eating nothing for the whole day. After some time, such practice may lead to untimely appetite and various medical difficult such as gastritis etc.

Regarding food pattern, all you have to do is to eat the food you are eating with some changes. You may ask your doctor about the food items that help to increase your weight and gradually decrease those items in your meal.

Every day is a new day. So, make every step of your life wonderful!

Famous quotes on attitude

noreply@blogger.com (LBJirel) — Mon, 31 Aug 2009 04:51:00 +0000

Editor's Note: Any (famous) quote is inspirational and motivation and has important meaning behind it is quoted. So, from today, every Monday will be Quotes day here on Cultivate Positivity. Of course, those quotes will be related to this blog. Let me begin with some famous quotes on attitude.

“The basic thing is that everyone wants happiness, no one wants suffering. And happiness mainly comes from our own attitude, rather than from external factors. If your own mental attitude is correct, even if you remain in a hostile atmosphere, you feel happy.”- Dalai Lama

“When one door of happiness closes, another opens; but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one which has been opened for us.” -Helen Keller

“If you are distressed by anything external, the pain is not due to the thing itself, but to your estimate of it; and this you have the power to revoke at any moment.” -Marcus Aurelius

“The greatest discovery of our generation is that human beings can alter their lives by altering their attitudes of mind. As you think, so shall you be.” -William James

“Could we change our attitude, we should not only see life differently, but life itself would come to be different. Life would undergo a change of appearance because we ourselves had undergone a change in attitude.” -Katherine Mansfield

“Whenever you're in conflict with someone, there is one factor that can make the difference between damaging your relationship and deepening it. That factor is attitude.” -William James

“Having a positive mental attitude is asking how something can be done rather than saying it can't be done.” -Bo Bennett

“You cannot control what happens to you, but you can control your attitude toward what happens to you, and in that, you will be mastering change rather than allowing it to master you. -Brian Tracy

“Your living is determined not so much by what life brings to you as by the attitude you bring to life; not so much by what happens to you as by the way your mind looks at what happens.” -Kahlil Gibran

“It is our attitude at the beginning of a difficult undertaking which, more than anything else, will determine its successful outcome.” -William James

“There is little difference in people, but that little difference makes a big difference. The little difference is attitude. The big difference is whether it is positive or negative.” -W. Clement Stone

It’s not what happens to you that determines how far you will go in life; it is how you handle what happens to you. -Zig Ziglar

"Two men look out the same prison bars; one sees mud and the other stars." -Frederick Langbridge

"Ability is what you're capable of doing. Motivation determines what you do. Attitude determines how well you do it." -Lou Holtz

"I am convinced that attitude is the key to success or failure in almost any of life's endeavors. Your attitude-your perspective, your outlook, how you feel about yourself, how you feel about other people-determines you priorities, your actions, your values. Your attitude determines how you interact with other people and how you interact with yourself." -Carolyn Warner

"A happy person is not a person in a certain set of circumstances, but rather a person with a certain set of attitudes." -Hugh Downs

"The remarkable thing we have is a choice every day regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change our past... We cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude.” -Charles Swindoll

"The world is a looking glass and gives back to every man the reflection of his own face." -William Makepeace Thackeray

”When you choose to be pleasant and positive in the way you treat others, you have also chosen, in most cases, how you are going to be treated others.” -Zig Ziglar

“Being defeated is often only a temporary condition. Giving up is what makes it permanent.” -Marilyn vos Savant

“Our subconscious minds have no sense of humor, play no jokes and cannot tell the difference between reality and an imagined thought or image. What we continually think about eventually will manifest in our lives.” -Sidney Madwed

“It's not what happens to you, but how you react to it that matters.” -Epictetus

“Your living is determined not so much by what life brings to you as by the attitude you bring to life; not so much by what happens to you as by the way your mind looks at what happens.” -John Homer Miller

“A champion hates to lose even more than she loves to win.” -Chris Evert

“What happened yesterday is history. What happens tomorrow is a mystery. What we do today makes a difference - the precious present moment.” -Nick Saban

“Man often becomes what he believes himself to be. If I keep on saying to myself that I cannot do a certain thing, it is possible that I may end by really becoming incapable of doing it. On the contrary, if I shall have the belief that I can do it, I shall surely acquire the capacity to do it, even if I may not have it at the beginning.” -Mahatma Gandhi

Why and how to get up early in the morning (updated)?

noreply@blogger.com (LBJirel) — Sun, 23 Aug 2009 07:44:00 +0000

image by basykes

"The time just before dawn contains the most energy of all hours of the day. This has helped me become an early riser and an early doer.... When I wake to see that it's light out already, I feel like the world has started without me."-Adabella Radici

You have recently found a lucrative job where you will have to work in the morning but you generally get up late in the morning. You may be going to start a class that begins in the morning. You simply may wan to be an early riser. Now you need to get up early in the morning but don’t know what to do? You have to do it anyway. No? However, some of us may have to work late in the night so that we are bound to get late in the morning. If you have this habit and you are fine, there is nothing to worry about getting up early since we need at least 5-6 hours of daily sleep.

Some benefits of getting up early

Certainly, there must be many good things about getting up early in the morning since large number of people either have this habit or just make their try. Such benefits can be discussed from social, psychological or physical point of view. Nevertheless, I am going to list some of them in general;

1. Great start of the day: Rise of the sun in the east means we should get up. If you get up late, you already will have left some time of the day doing nothing (If you seriously want to get up early but if you work late in the night so that get up late, it’s ok for you as I have said above). Some people (even some of my friends and relatives) worship sun as God in the morning. Early get up means new sun!

2. Freshness: We all know, early morning is the freshest part of the day. Not much noise, low traffic, cool and fresh environment etc. all makes early morning the most enjoyable and not miss time of the day.

3. Exercise and health benefits: In today’s world, due to busy schedule and every day growing fierce competition, people are unable to give enough time to keep them fit and healthy mentally and physically. Nevertheless, many of them don’t know the fact that even an hour of simple exercise daily can keep them fit and provide relief from various stress, anxiety, pressure etc. The best and fruitful time to do all these is definitely the early morning.

4. More time to do things: By the time your neighbor just get out of bed, you might already have breakfast, checked email, prepared Tiffin for your kids because you got up two hours before him/her.

How to get up early in the morning

Now, you’ve decided to get up early. Here are some ideas:

1. You know you are going to get up early in the morning. Ask yourself again. Are you mentally and physically ready? Are you serious? Do you really know why you are going to get up early?

2. There is no any exact time getting before that is called early morning. It is up to you to decide the time for you. In this article, I suppose you generally get up at 8 am and want to lower this time to 5 am. Must people make mistake by getting up at 5 am from the next day. For sure, it becomes difficult. As a result, your whole day will be gloomy and probably you may decide not to get up at that time the next day thinking, “Oh, this is not for me. I don’t have bone that will help me to put off the bed in the morning!” Hey, common! You still can do it.

3. My idea is to reduce your getting up time gradually. So, you will need some time before it becomes natural for you to get up at target time. Before going to bed, think to get up at 7:45 am next day means this is like any other plan for the next day. For this, you will (may) need alarm. Set the alarm exactly at the set time. Suppose that you got up at the fixed time. Next day, try to get up at 7:30 am. In the same way, you will lower the time by 15 minutes a day. If you can’t do 15 minutes a day, there isn’t any problem. Try 10 or 5 minutes a day. You will continue this process until you are at the target time. You may miss the planned time some day but don’t go back. Just continue.

4. I think it’s not compulsory but putting the alarm some distance away from your bed may become helpful since you will have to get out of your bed to switch off the alarm. Nevertheless, forget about the concept of multiple alarms at every corner of the room. This simply may disturb other members of your family or neighbor. If there is anyone in your family who gets up earlier than you do, ask him/her to wake you up in the morning at the time you set.

5. It is better to have something important to do in the morning so that chances may be you will immediately get out of your bed once you wake up.

6. After waking up, do not spend any time thinking you will get after 5 minutes or you will do this from the next day. Rather, think only going out of the bed is the thing you should do at that moment. You will have to do this only in the initial days. After some time of practice, this will happen to you automatically. After leaving bed, have bath do exercise or simply go for morning walk or jugging. During my college day, I had habit of getting up at 4 am every day. Certainly, it used to be very difficult in the beginning but after sometime, I didn’t need any alarm. I used to wake up at 4 am without any alarm. This happened to me naturally. This will also happen to you. How? Let me tell you. Do you need any alarm to get up at 8 am (I supposed)? If no then you may also not need any alarm to get up at 5 am (again I supposed), as I already said above once this becomes your habit of getting up at 5 am. If not, at least your alarm will hundred per cent put you off your bed!

7. There is no possibility of getting up early unless you go to bed early. If you do not have enough sleep, how can you get up early? So, have well and enough sleep.

What do you think? Why do you get up early in the morning? At what time do you get up in the morning? How do you get up in the morning? Do you have any other ideas?

Love and famous romantic love quotes

noreply@blogger.com (LBJirel) — Sun, 16 Aug 2009 09:49:00 +0000

As I have written in post on quotes by Dalai Lama, I have been collecting various quotes for last few weeks. So far I have shared famous quotes on happiness, success and friendship. Almost all quotes are great! In this post, I have collected some famous romantic love quotes. As said by D.H. Lawrence, “Love is the most easily recognizable human emotion, and to deny its existence is self-defeating. Thus, love quotes have become a natural expression of these emotions.” love quote are really wonderful stuff!!

Half full or half empty glass and happiness

noreply@blogger.com (LBJirel) — Tue, 11 Aug 2009 03:32:00 +0000

Many of us have heard about the half-full or half-empty glass view and respective personality. It is always good to be an optimistic person. Being positive has many benefits that one will know once he/she developed that kind of habit! Yes, I said habit. Positivity becomes your passion, source of unlimited energy and power, ability to control your emotion and so on.

I can’t remember the name of the blog but about a month back, I read a post in that blog in which the author had shared her idea of not checking whether he/she was happy or not every time trying to get whether the glass is half full or half empty, caught my attention immediately then.

Recently while collecting and reading quotes on happiness, at first, this particular quote by George Bernard Shaw which says, “The only way to avoid being miserable is not to have leisure to wonder whether you are happy or not.”, again remind me of the post I had read.

Why do children generally remain happy? According to D.H. Mondfleur, “The only time I was truly happy was as a child, before I knew what happiness was or wasn’t.”

Happiness is what you should think of. Actually, you yourself should admit that you are happy because “You will never be happy if you continue to search for what happiness consists of. You will never live if you are looking for the meaning of life.”- Albert Camus

Before final words/sentences,

“Happiness is like a cat, if you try to coax it or call it, it will avoid you; it will never come. But if you pay no attention to it and go about your business, you will find it rubbing against your legs and jumping into your lap.”-William Bennett

“The true way to render ourselves happy is to love our work and find in it our pleasure.”
-Franklin D. Roosevelt

So, I have decided not to check whether I am happy or not every time and glass is half full or half empty and enjoy what I am doing and do my best to find pleasure in my business. Then I hope more and more happiness will rub my leg and jump into my lap! Anytime, you are welcome happiness!

Update: As Corinne has written in comment, exactly, the post I referred above was Half Full? Or Half Empty? Thanks Corinne!

Motivation Monday: Quotes by Dalai Lama

noreply@blogger.com (LBJirel) — Sun, 09 Aug 2009 11:37:00 +0000

Born on 6th July 1935, Tenzin Gyatso, popularly known in the world as 14th Dalai Lama, is Tibetan spiritual leader. Respecting his contribution for free Tibet and spreading non-violence in the world, he was awarded Nobel Peace Prize in 1989. His sayings are always thought to be motivating.

For last few days, I have been collecting and reading various quotes and recently shared some quotes on happiness, success and friendship as well. I will be sharing more quotes in coming days. In this post, I have collected some best quotes by Dalai Lama. For easy reading and understanding, I tried to separate the quotes in different categories.

Inspirational and motivational

“To conquer oneself is a greater victory than to conquer thousands in a battle.”

“There is a saying in Tibetan, “Tragedy should be utilized as a source of strength.”

“No matter what sort of difficulties, how painful experience is, if we lose our hope, that’s our real disaster.”

“All major religious traditions carry basically the same message, which is love, compassion and forgiveness the important thing is they should be part of our daily lives.”

”The roots of all goodness lie in the soil of appreciation for goodness.”

“It is easy to point out the mistakes of others, while it is hard to admit one’s own mistakes. A man broadcasts the sins of others without thinking, but he hides his own sins as a gambler hides his extra dice.”

“Old friends pass away, new friends appear. It is just like the days. An old day passes, a new day arrives. The important thing is to make it meaningful: a meaningful friend - or a meaningful day.”

“Human potential is the same for all. Your feeling, “I am of no value”, is wrong. Absolutely wrong. You are deceiving yourself. We all have the power of thought - so what are you lacking? If you have willpower, then you can change anything. It is usually said that you are your own master.”

“With realization of one's own potential and self-confidence in one's ability, one can build a better world.”

Love

“If you don’t love yourself, you cannot love others. You will not be able to love others. If you have no compassion for yourself then you are not able of developing compassion for others.”

“We can live without religion and meditation, but we cannot survive without human affection.”

“If there is love, there is hope to have real families, real brotherhood, real equanimity, and real peace. If the love within your mind is lost, if you continue to see other beings as enemies, then no matter how much knowledge or education you have, no matter how much material progress is made, only suffering and confusion will ensue.”

Happiness

“Happiness is not something ready made. It comes from your own actions.”

“I believe all suffering is caused by ignorance. People inflict pain on others in the selfish pursuit of their happiness or satisfaction. Yet true happiness comes from a sense of peace and contentment, which in turn must be achieved through the cultivation of altruism, of love and compassion, and elimination of ignorance, selfishness, and greed.”

”I truly believe that individuals can make a difference in society. Since periods of change such as the present one come so rarely in human history, it is up to each of us to make the best use of our time to help create a happier world.”

”It is very important to generate a good attitude, a good heart, as much as possible. From this, happiness in both the short term and the long term for both yourself and others will come.”

Kindness

“My religion is very simple. My religion is kindness.”

“Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.”

“When we feel love and kindness towards others, it not only makes others feel loved and cared for, but it helps us also to develop inner happiness and peace. And there are ways in which we can consciously work to develop feelings of love and kindness.”

“There is no need for temples, no need for complicated philosophies. My brain and my heart are my temples; my philosophy is kindness.”

Peace and violence

“Through violence, you may ’solve’ one problem, but you sow the seeds for another.”

“When we have inner peace, we can be at peace with those around us. When our community is in a state of peace, it can share that peace with neighboring communities, and so on.”

“We can never obtain peace in the outer world until we make peace with ourselves.”

Optimism

“Basically we are all the same human beings with the same potential to be a good human being or a bad human being ... The important thing is to realize the positive side and try to increase that; realize the negative side and try to reduce. That's the way.”

Some other quotes

“If you can, help others; if you cannot do that, at least do not harm them.”

“I feel that the essence of spiritual practice is your attitude toward others. When you have a pure, sincere motivation, then you have right attitude toward others based on kindness, compassion, love and respect.”

But I have noticed my little rowboat is now a mighty ship manned by my friends and loved ones; and beautiful calm seas, warm sunny days, and nights filled with comfortable dreams always double after a storm. Now, I could never go back and sit on the bank. In fact, I search for deeper water. Such is life when lived."
