Life without touch-ups!

We all should always try to lead a life without touch-ups! It is real and it keeps the essence maintained. The natural beauty, the real meaning and quintessential life is the one without touch-ups.

Imagine a picture, when you see it without touch-ups, it certainly makes you smile but when you try to make it better it leaves you analyzing and when you try to perfect it – it loses the essence.  

Why is it becoming necessary for most of us to lead a perfect life? What is a perfect life? Is it the one which we see others living, is it one which we read in the books, page 3 and celluloid.  No, life is all about small & simple moments of happiness we create, we share and also about those moments which test us on our faith.

Live Simple. Stop Comparing

Is is not life just perfect when we live it simplified? Now I am not trying to pull in any old school or new school philosophy when I use the word simplified.  

Simplified here suggests, the way it makes us happy. Why complicate it with comparisons, with adaptations to fit the bill. Where are we trying to fit ourselves into and with whom and why for all reasons?

Have Choices. Take Decisions

I love the present day youth for this reason. They don’t believe in any race. They all want to be cool in their own ways. The young parents of today do not want to impose things on their kids; they want them to grow, to learn and most importantly to CHOOSE for them.

I have observed, a child who grows in such an environment becomes a better human being, a bright professional and is always considered approachable socially. Because he/she has learnt to adapt, to talk out and to share fearlessly because they know they will be heard, understood and once again not forced to follow decisions.

Give Space. Nourish Relationships

Be it your personal or professional life you need to give space. This space is important not just to nourish relationships but also to live healthy and grow healthy. Healthy Relationships are the key to success at work, it leads to strong bonds of friendship, trust and makes everyone is them empowered.

By saying giving space, I mean to allow them to be on their own in thoughts, viewpoints and situations. This works to bring in the sense of responsibility. When they know – you are there to help them always, they develop the sense of belonging and this confidence helps them face life with face up, no matter what.

Choice is always yours. Choose to lead a life with No Touch-ups! Like an Image, life too will not leave its essence. Have a Happy Life, Stay Blessed.

Resilient Decisions

 Recently, I had written briefly about celebrating decisions. May be that was the result of a happy mind set, a content soul. And today after reading some posts of my friends – I am once again contemplating about the decisions. Yes, one must celebrate decisions and to celebrate them you need to stick to them, work on them and live them.

Today I am wondering – is it good to postpone decisions for the sake of today.

May be it is. Situations and circumstance do not remain same all the time.  It becomes tough to concentrate and keep the positivity switch on. But then, this isn’t completely impossible.  Yes, it is easier to find reasons and excuses but at the same time – it is easier to find the solutions and tough to execute them. Sometimes things just don’t click but that certainly doesn’t mean we should stop. That only suggests that we need to walk another mile.

People won’t understand you all the time. They aren’t supposed to do so. We have to keep our great expectations – fine tuned.  You would know the reasons and your job is to correct the incorrect, do not fall prey to negative environment around you. Remember, you have a dream and you have decided to celebrate that dream by living it up. Remember, no matter what it is today or how it is today but tomorrow you have to shine.

If it is not happening NOW

Then believe it and work towards it. If something is not happening now that doesn’t means something will never happen. It is in our hands, our own mind. Remember, if something is not clicking today that doesn’t mean it won’t click tomorrow too. Remember, every day is a new day and we have got to try hard. Honest efforts are bound to give results – it’s just that they take a little while.

Do not regret

Regret is a complete no. We shall not regret for the things those are gone by. It worked or not – regret won’t do any help. Yes, constant efforts should be there so that we do not regret about the time wasted with wrong people, negative emotions and lazy surroundings. Remember, once we realize a wrong it shall be instantly made right. There is not right or wrong time to do the right thing. Get up and get going.

Remember, if you are sure of what you want and you ensure what you have decided is achievable. It is achievable. Resilience and Perseverance backed with right efforts are certainly the magic traits.

Refresh Yourself for New Beginnings!!

REFRESH YOURSELF for 2012

The year gone by - was tough & testing! Yes, but now at this beginning - I am happy, content and once again dreaming. 

Wow! what a start. 

I am glad that I am writing all positives in my mind. Right now while I write - I am thinking of words like Share, Magic, Learn, Sunshine, Green, Young, Peace, Music, Charge, Faith, Innovation, Progress, Transform, Life. These are the words - I kept on my New Year's mailer. These are the words I plan to keep in my mind this year. 

But with all my wishes to all of you for a Great Year ahead....I also want to share the lovely 

Inspiring Words,

You are the result of yourself. 

                                              - Pablo Neruda

Don’t blame anyone, never complain of anyone or anything

Because basically you have made of your life what you wanted.

Accept the difficulties of edifying yourself

And the worth of starting to correct your character.

The triumph of the true man arises from the ashes of his mistakes.

Never complain of your loneliness or your luck.

Face it with courage and accept it.

Somehow, they are the result of your acts and

It shows that you’ll always win.

Don’t feel frustrated of your own failures, neither unload them to someone else.

Accept yourself now or you’ll go on justifying yourself like a child.

Remember that any time is good to start

And that no time is so good to give up.

Don’t forget that the cause of your present is your past,

As the cause of your future will be your present.

Learn from the brave, from the strong,

From who doesn’t accept situations

From who will live in spite of everything.

Think less of your problems and more of your work.

Learn to arise from your pain,

And to be greater than the greatest of your obstacles.

Look at the mirror of yourself and you’ll be free and strong

And you’ll stop being a puppet of circumstances.

For you yourself are your destiny.

Wake up and stare at the sun in the mornings and breathe the sun of dawn.

You’re part of the strength of your life now,

Rise up, fight, walk, be sure and you’ll win in life.

Don’t ever think of ‘fate’

For fate is the excuse of failures.

Happy New Year :)

One more try! One more time!

Ahh…one more time it happen that life got obsessed about causing troubles for me. How sad I felt? How sad I felt – that it realized one more time - I will survive. One more time it realized - that I will survive. One more time – it happened.

This time I was quiet, calm and surprised. I am surprised and once again shouted in exile – why me? Why me – one more time. Yes, it shakes me, shocked me and waked me in the middle of the night one more time.  One more time – it happened.

I noticed the curves which arrived just like that. I noticed the hurdles which arose just as I was about to take the leap. I noticed the hurdles – one more time. One more time – it happened.

She knocked at the moment of joy, shocked me with the unleashed try, soaked me and choked me with the unknown airs and unknown flights. I am glad and thankful – I gave it another plight one more time. One more time – it happened.

I lost it – yes the hope. I hoped it- one more time. Yes, I hoped for the hope against hope. I got the hope one more time. One more time – it happened.

She left me – yes the inspiration. I chased it for one more time. Yes, I got it one more time and I inspired Life. One more time – it happened.

Dreams are the ones– which keep you alive. One more time – I realized. One more time I dream to fly. Sharing this – I don’t feel shy.  Dreams are dreams – keep them alive, live them up and they will keep you alive.

To fight the unknown and the recurring unwanted sights – looks for signs, the signs of reigns. Look for people – who are good signs, who talk positive and keep a balanced mind. Stay aloof from the feelings of spoof. Give up on those who hit on hopes, give up on the feelings of wrongs. But when it comes to your dreams and hope – Never, Never, Never Give up!

Think positive one more time. One more time – you smile.

Inspire On.

Have you ever wondered that the only solution to fight situations out is to get inspired to be out of them?

Yes – No- Never thought about it. Read more here.

Faith & Confidence

A Man Lost Everything in Fire, Next day he placed a Signboard-"House, Shop burnt, Goods burnt" But Faith & Confidence not burnt,Business Starts Tomorrow...

Make a Noise!

Oh! My Life….Lets Rehearse a song!
Mix the music of triumph
Stand - up & straight
Rub your eyes & get ready for the chase
Make a noise – let others hear!

Let others worry, you walk ahead
Discern the unnecessary concerns
Follow your dreams, have faith
Allow to go down, the chaotic fears
Make a noise – let others hear!

Ignore those, who stop you!
Disappear from them, who raise a brow
Stand sound with your plans
Behold your confidence, don’t let it end
Until your belief is set apart
Trust your instincts & work smart
Make a noise – let others hear

Let us rehearse a song!
Mix the music of triumph
Let’s make a noise – to be heard.

I have been feeling a little low....but then after writing the above piece I realised - When going gets tough, tough goes for an inspiration ;-)

Being kind of perfect ;-)

Buddha says, "When you realize how perfect everything is you will tilt your head back & laugh at the sky."

Have you ever wondered what it means to be kind of perfect? Well! I think it means a lot. I totally agree to the saying that goes like, nobody is perfect. Whoever said this must have thought of making the chase to perfection a never ending affair. And I guess that’s the perfect idea! What say?

But ‘Feeling Perfect’ sometimes is good for health, happiness & life. One must feel at times and say to oneself... ‘Oh yeah! I am kind of perfect’. If you find this idea weird- all I would say is try this once & experience. When life ditches you at times, people don’t understand, friends don’t have the time and loved ones are ignorant, the technique of feeling perfect works wonders. This feeling itself fills one with lot of confidence & courage. It brings the otherwise negative vibes back on track and a sudden rush thrills us. It makes us feel that everything around is Perfect like Buddha says!

‘Feeling perfect’ not only gives confidence, instead it’s a quick dosage of assurance & conformity. Only thing one should be careful about is Arrogance. This kills the beauty of being perfect. This pulls in negativity & eventually starts ruling over the brain and then captures the speech. Arrogance must be avoided to the last extent.

So, all I am trying to say is, Next time you feel low just look at yourself in the mirror and say – I am my good. I am what I am. O yeah! I am kind of perfect ;-)

And yes, share with me – the difference you feel. Cheers!
