Your Attitude Is Your Destiny

Kishan was the kind of guy you love to hate. He was always in a good mood and always had something positive to say.

When someone would ask him how he was doing, he would reply, "If I were any better, I would be twins!" He was a unique manager because he had several waiters who had followed him around from restaurant to restaurant.

The reason the waiters followed Kishan was because of his attitude. He was a natural motivator. If an employee was having a bad day, Kishan was there telling the employee how to look on the positive side of the situation.

Seeing this style really made me curious, so one day I went up to Kishan and asked him, "I don't get it! You can't be a positive person all of the time. How do you do it?" Kishan replied, "Each morning I wake up and say to myself, Kishan, you have two choices today.

You can choose to be in a good mood or you can choose to be in a bad mood.' I choose to be in a good mood. Each time something bad happens, I can choose to be a victim or I can choose to learn from it. I choose to learn from it.

Every time someone comes to me complaining, I can choose to accept their complaining or I can point out the positive side of life. I choose the positive side of life." "Yeah, right, it's not that easy," I protested. "Yes it is," Kishan said. "Life is all about choices. When you cut away all the junk, every situation is a choice. You choose how you react to situations. You choose how people will affect your mood. You choose to be in a good or bad mood. The bottom line: It's your choice how you live life." I reflected on what Kishan said.

Soon thereafter, I left the restaurant industry to start my own business. We lost touch, but I often thought about him when I made a choice about life instead of reacting to it. Several years later, I heard that Kishan did something you are never supposed to do in a restaurant business: he left the back door open one morning and was held up at gunpoint by three armed robbers. While trying to open the safe, his hand, shaking from nervousness, slipped off the combination. The robbers panicked and shot him. Luckily, Kishan was found relatively quickly and rushed to the local trauma center. After 18 hours of surgery and weeks of intensive care, Kishan was released from the hospital with fragments of the bullets still in his body. I saw Kishan about six months after the accident. When I asked him how he was, he replied, "If I were any better, I'd be twins. Wanna see my scars?" I declined to see his wounds, but did ask him what had gone through his mind as the robbery took place. "The first thing that went through my mind was that I should have locked the back door," Kishan replied. "Then, as I lay on the floor, I remembered that I had two choices: I could choose to live, or I could choose to die.

I chose to live." "Weren't you scared? Did you lose consciousness?" I asked. Kishan continued, "The paramedics were great. They kept telling me I was going to be fine. But when they wheeled me into the emergency room and I saw the expressions on the faces of the doctors and nurses, I got really scared. In their eyes, I read, 'He's a dead man.' I knew I needed to take action." "What did you do?" I asked. "Well, there was a big, burly nurse shouting questions at me," said Kishan. "She asked if I was allergic to anything. 'Yes,' I replied. The doctors and nurses stopped working as they waited for my reply. I took a deep breath and yelled, 'Bullets!' Over their laughter, I told them, "I am choosing to live. Operate on me as if I am alive, not dead." Kishan lived thanks to the skill of his doctors, but also because of his amazing attitude. I learned from him that every day we have the choice to live fully.
Attitude, after all, is everything.

HOW WOULD YOU LIKE TO BE REMEMBERED..?

About a hundred years ago, a man looked at the morning newspaper and to his surprise and horror, read his name in the obituary column. The news papers had reported the death of the wrong person by mistake. His first response was shock. Am I here or there..?

When he regained his composure, his second thought was to find out what people had said about him. The obituary read, "Dynamite King Dies." And also "He was the merchant of death." This man was the inventor of dynamite and when he read the words "merchant of death," he asked himself a question, "Is this how I am going to be remembered?" He got in touch with his feelings and decided that this was not the way he wanted to be remembered. From that day on, he started working toward peace. His name was Alfred Nobel and he is remembered today by the great Nobel Prize. Just as Alfred Nobel got in touch with his feelings and redefined his values, we should step back and do the same.

>> What is your legacy..?

>> How would you like to be remembered? Will you be spoken well of..?

>> Will you be remembered with love and respect..?

>> Will you be missed..?

Don't Act Like An Elephant..!

Don't Act Like An Elephant..!
Strange statement, isn't it..?
But listen carefully because it can make the difference of success and failure in your business and private life.
So, let me explain...
You might know that in India, elephants are used for manual labor. But what to do with them when they are not working? How to restrain them?

Their handlers came up with the idea to "program" them while they are still very young - by setting self-imposed limits into their thinking.
How does it work?
When the elephants are still small, weighing around 150 pounds, they get tied up with a very heavy rope. All day long, the elephants try to get rid of it, whine, tug at it and some of them even try to chew it. But they can't break free.
Finally, the elephants give up and the fight is over. And now it's getting interesting...
>From this moment on, they strongly believe that there is absolutely no chance to get rid of the rope. They accept the "fact" that the rope limits them.
And with this imprinted belief in place, their handlers are able to tie them with extremely small ropes!
And even as adults, weighing 8,000 pounds and more, they never attempt to break free because they "know" they have no chance at all..!
As you can see, the elephants limits are not real, but exist only in their mind.
And also we are programmed with built-in-boundaries. They are also not real but exist only in our minds.
But with these imprinted belief systems, with these inner boundaries, we are unable...
-> to live our lives to the fullest
-> to be successful as we could be
-> to set and reach higher goals
-> to make 10 times more money as we do now
-> to build a successful business
-> to get the promotion and pay increase we always dreamed of
-> to fulfill our true dreams and desires etc.
But it hasn't to stay this way. Our negative belief systems don't have to limit us for good.
If you truly want to become successful and are not kidding yourself, you can change your inner belief system, your attitude, and break your inner boundaries.
You always have the inner strength; the personal power to change everything in your life for the better. Just try..!
So, never give up..! Never act like an elephant.

Happy Mother's day...

A mother is the truest friend we have, when trials heavy and sudden, fall upon us; when adversity takes the place of prosperity; when friends who rejoice with us in our sunshine desert us; when trouble thickens around us, still will she cling to us, and endeavor by her kind precepts and counsels to dissipate the clouds of darkness, and cause peace to return to our hearts.

Mothers hold their children's hands for a short while, but their hearts forever.

Wish you a very very Happy Mother's Day to all of you...

Lovely Conversation With GOD

Today I decided to quit...
.
.
.
I quit my job,
.
.
.
My Relationship,
.
.
.
My Spirituality...
.
.
.
I wanted to quit my life.
.
.
.
I went to the woods to have one last talk with GOD.
.
.
.
"GOD", I said. "Can you give me one good reason not to quit?"
.
.
.
His answer surprised me...

"Look around", GOD said. "Do you see the fern and the bamboo?"

"Yes", I replied.

"When I planted the fern and the bamboo seeds, I took very good care of them. I gave them light. I gave them water. The fern quickly grew from the earth. Its brilliant green covered the floor. Yet nothing came from the bamboo seed. But I did not quit on the bamboo. In the second year the Fern grew more vibrant and plentiful. And again, nothing came from the bamboo seed. But I did not quit on the bamboo." GOD said.

"In year three there was still nothing from the bamboo seed. But I would not quit. In year four, again, there was nothing from the bamboo see. I would not quit." GOD said.


"Then in the fifth year a tiny sprout emerged from the earth. Compared to the fern it was seemingly small and insignificant... But just six months later the bamboo rose to over 100 feet tall. It had spent the five years growing roots. Those roots made it strong and gave it what it needed to survive. I would not give any of my creations a challenge it could not handle." GOD said to me.

"Did you know, that all this time you have been struggling, you have actually been growing roots? I would not quit on the bamboo. I will never quit on you. Don't compare yourself to others. " GOD said.

"The bamboo had a different purpose than the fern. Yet they both make the forest beautiful. Your time will come." GOD said to me."You will rise high"

"How high should I rise?" I asked.

"How high will the bamboo rise?" GOD asked in return.

"As high as it can?" I questioned

"Yes." GOD said, "Give me glory by rising as high as you can."

I left the forest and bring back this story.

I hope these words can help...

** Moral of the Story **

Keep Faith in your Heart... Never Give Up...

Some times... Some work need more time to achieve... Give time... Keep patience

Always concentrate on Goal... Never think about when you will achieve your goal. Just do your job.

Give your 100% efforts without any doubt.

Success is not a goal. You work for your goal not for success. Remember, Success is the fruit of your work done.

The Most Beautiful Heart..!

One day a young man was standing in the middle of the town proclaiming that he had the most beautiful heart in the whole valley.
A large crowd gathered and they all admired his heart for it was perfect. There was not a mark or a flaw in it. Yes, they all agreed it truly was the most beautiful heart they had ever seen. The young man was very proud and boasted more loudly about his beautiful heart.
Suddenly, an old man appeared at the front of the crowd and said, "Why your heart is not nearly as beautiful as mine." The crowd and the young man looked at the old man's heart. It was beating strongly, but full of scars, it had places where pieces had been removed and other pieces put in, but they didn't fit quite right and there were several jagged edges. In fact, in some places there were deep gouges where whole pieces missing.
The people stared. How can he say his heart is more beautiful?? they thought. The young man looked at the old man's heart and saw its state and laughed. "You must be joking," he said. "Compare your heart with mine, mine is perfect and yours is a mess of scars and tears."
"Yes," said the old man, "Yours is perfect looking but I would never trade with you. You see, every scar represents a person to whom I have given my love - I tear out a piece of my heart and give it to them, and often they give me a piece of their heart which fits into the empty place in my heart, but because the pieces aren't exact, I have some rough edges, which I cherish, because they remind me of the love we shared. Sometimes I have given pieces of my heart away, and the other person hasn't returned a piece of his heart to me. These are the empty gouges - giving love is taking a chance. Although these gouges are painful, they stay open, reminding me of the love I have for these people too, and I hope someday they may return and fill the space I have waiting. So now do you see what true beauty is?"
The young man stood silently with tears running down his cheeks. He walked up to the old man, reached into his perfect young and beautiful heart, and ripped a piece out. He offered it to the old man with trembling hands.
The old man took his offering, placed it in his heart and then took a piece from his old scarred heart and placed it in the wound in the young man's heart. It fit, but not perfectly, as there were some jagged edges.
The young man looked at his heart, not perfect anymore but more beautiful than ever, since love from the old man's heart flowed into his.
They embraced and walked away side by side.

Once upon a time..!

Once upon a time, there was an island where all the feelings lived: Happiness, Sadness, knowledge, and all of the others, including Love. One day it was announced to the feelings that the island would sink, so all constructed their boats and left the island, except Love. Love was the only one who stayed. Love wanted to hold out until the last possible moment.

When the island had almost sunk, Love decided to ask for help.Richness was passing by Love in a grand boat. Love said,“Richness, can you take me with you?”Richness answered, “No, I can’t. There is a lot of gold and silver in my boat. There is no place here for you.”Love decided to ask Vanity who was also passing by in a beautiful vessel. “Vanity, please help me!”“I can’t help you, Love. You are all wet and might damage my boat,” Vanity answered. Sadness was close by so Love asked, “Sadness, let me go with you.”“Oh . . . Love, I am so sad that I need to be by myself!”Happiness passed by Love, too, but she was so happy that she did not even hear when Love called her. Suddenly, there was a voice, “Come, Love, I will take you.” It was an elder. So blessed and over joyed, Love even forgot to ask the elder where they were going. When they arrived at dry land, the elder went her own way. Realizing how much was owed the elder,Love asked Knowledge, another elder, “Who helped me?”“It was Time,” Knowledge answered.“Time?” asked Love. “But why did Time help me?”Knowledge smiled with deep wisdom and answered,“Because only Time is capable of understanding how valuable Love is..!

Heart Touching Feelings...

What to do with feelings..?


We often use this word in our daily conversation but most of the people are not aware about the exact meaning of feelings and even don’t know what to do with their feelings.Feelings are the emotions and sentiments of every person which he feels at some special occasions or at the time of pain or trial. There are many kinds of feelings like
happiness, sadness, sorrow, pain,worry, excitement
and many more heart touching feelings.In our life there come different occasions and events when it becomes difficult to understand that whether we are happy or sad. Then it becomes very irritating and confusing to express the feelings. But it is admitted fact that feelings are much important in our life. It is the thing which makes you feel that you are alive. It is said that there are no feelings and emotions in dead bodies. Live people are energetic, fresh and full of emotions and feelings.



Most of the time we feel many things about someone special or for your loved ones but you do not express it to them. This thing makes your feelings meaningless. At this a question arises that
“Is that necessary to express your feelings?”
If anybody asks this question to me then I’ll say yes it is the most necessary thing to express your feelings. If you do not express your feelings to others then how would they realize that what you like or not? Suppose you are in love with some one you care that person a lot but you never tell that person that you are in love with that person then how would you expect that he or she will respond you. It is true that feeling can be read from eyes but sometimes it becomes very necessary to tell that what you feel.This thing is not confined to lover’s relation only. It is required in every relation like parents want that their children come near them and say how much their children love them. Friends want to know that how much they are important for you.Every person feels happiness when he knows that some one is very caring about me and loves me very much.Now a second important thing is that how we can express our feelings. There are many ways to express your feelings like in words mean you can say your feelings. Secondly you can express your feeling by touching that person. The most powerful way to express your feeling is touching that person. The touch of that person make you feel secure. Touching is very important. It is scientifically proved that when the mother touches her child then her child grows in better way.If you do not believe then make an experiment whenever you feel uneasy or feel some tension then go straight to your mother and lay down in her lap. When she will ask kindly and hug you tightly and kiss you then you will feel that you are in secure place. If unfortunately you have lost your mother then go to your nearest friend and hold his hand tightly. If he would be your true friend then he will feel that you are in tension and he will try to solve your problem.Please try these experiments and fill your life with feelings and emotions. Hope you understand the feelings and what to do with heart touching feelings of yourheart.
