Little Deep Thoughts

Most of us think our lives accumulate. We think they are adding up to something. We think of our lives as being strung together like a long smoky train, so that we can add new freight cards when we're feeling right, and dump the others when we're not. But when basketball legend John Wooden's father said to him, "Make each day your masterpiece," Wooden knew something profound: Life is now. Life is not later on. And the more we hypnotise ourselves into thinking we have all the time in the world to do what we want to do, the more we sleepwalk past life's finest opportunities. Self-motivation flows from the importance we attach to today. Most of us, however, don't want it to be this way. If someone asks us if today can be used as a model to judge our entire life by, we would shriek, "Oh no! It isn't one of my better days. Give me a year or two and I'll live a day, I'm certain of it, that you can use to represent my life." The key t...

Adversity is often a product of confused thinking, lack of proper goals and aims in life. If an individual is doing what he does not like to do or doing what he is not supposed to do or do not know what he should do, chances are he is inviting trouble into his life. It is also true that if a person is already going through difficulties and has not learned his lesson, chances are he may have to cope with more difficulties for a longer time.

You will perceive hidden opportunities and present themselves to your conscious mind which will lead you towards your goals. Whatever be the gravity of the situation, keep the goals clearly in your mind and focus on them. Make them an integral part of your cons...

Three things happen when a person is in difficulties: - Firstly, he becomes depressed and loses focus. - Secondly, he becomes insecure and less confident. - Thirdly, he becomes dejected and cynical and develops a negative attitude towards the system that he believes gave him all the trouble. These three most unfortunate developments in his personality reduce his overall effectiveness and efficiency to recognise the many opportunities that he would have otherwise noticed and utilised successfully. Of these the first one takes away his sensitivity to identify the opportunities that come his way. The second and the third mental conditions prevent him from seizing the opportunities even though he clearly perceives them. In other words when a person is passing through adversity, he loses many opportunities to redeem himself from the adverse situation, where as what is required is to remain focused so that when the opportunities present themselves he becomes aware of them and seizes th...

You deserve to move on. You deserve to let go and uncork yourself from the past. You deserve to step forward into new possibilities and opportunities. You deserve to be happy. You deserve closure. You deserve to be with someone who fights for you and never thinks about giving up on you. You deserve someone who believes in you. You deserve someone who patronize you. You deserve someone who shows up. You deserve someone who chooses you, everyday and every time. You deserve someone who makes your heart dance and sets your soul free. You deserve someone who pieces you back together. You deserve peace, within yourself. You deserve to have all the things your heart beats for. You deserve to be loved. You deserve everything. It's time to believe that.
