Unleash the power of your mind; shape your destiny

Unleash the power of your mind; shape your destiny

mind powerThis may not be the first time you’re hearing the fact that nothing is more powerful than the power of the mind. The mind can cause or cure a disease. Positive traits like love, selflessness, sympathy, generosity etc would lead to the smooth functioning of all the parts of the human body. Similarly, negative attributes like anger, hatred, malice, selfishness etc. would affect the functioning of the body. Let’s begin with a simple question – What is mind? In school we would have learnt that mind is a faculty of consciousnesses and thought. Now let’s get into the depth of it. Mind is a force that contains infinite thoughts, imaginations, feelings and determination. It is this subtle and complex force that shapes our destiny. Yes! All our actions and achievements are the result of our imaginations in the mind. In short, we are what we are today because of our mind. If our past repetitive imaginations or pictures that we have run in our mind has shaped our present, is it possible for us to shape our future too? The answer is a definite YES!
Recalling the words of a famous thinker who once said “If you examine your thoughts five times every day for a month, you would know how you have already molded your future.” Now let’s do a simple exercise. Take a moment or two and review how you are feeling today. Are you happy with your accomplishments? Were you able to land a job interview in that fortune 500 company you’ve been eyeing for? Have you been able to reach your immediate goal? If you said ‘No’ to one of these, do not worry. Nothing is lost. Starting today, gradually change your thoughts and emotions. Maneuver your thoughts in the direction that will lead you to achieving your goals. Direct your thoughts towards the realization of the ideal you have placed in front of you.
Initially, as you try to feed your mind with thoughts and pictures about your future, they are bound to be interrupted by fear, anxiety, doubt etc. Do not try to resist them, let them keep coming in for as long as they want and then they will subside on their own, freeing your mind to think the way you intend to. Negative thoughts will flow freely into your mind only up to a certain level without much resistance. Once you empty them, your mind becomes free to be sown with fruit-bearing seeds. Practice this daily for 10 minutes and you’ll see your destiny shaping beautifully in front of you.

How to find happiness and stay happy

How to find happiness and stay happy Many of us have this compelling urge to make changes to our lives, minor or major, hoping to elevate ourselves to a new level of happiness. We inadvertently begin to believe that a bigger house or a higher job designation would make us happier than what we are today. While aiming to achieve higher and higher in life is not wrong, seeking happiness through these achievements is not healthy. The belief, that a house with a swimming pool will render more happiness, transforms into a vehement pursuit of the same, which invariably thrusts us into a realm of greed, jealousy and deteriorating self-esteem. If happiness is what we’re looking for, we don’t need to go too far because happiness is within us! Long time ago, there lived two friends in a village in Bhangmun. Farming being their sole means of earning a livelihood, they worked hard at it taking good care of their crops. While Ajay always looked across his field and envied the lush...

Do you react or respond?

Do you react or respond? Life regularly puts us in situations and gives us a choice to handle those situations. It is our way of responding to those situations that defines our personality. When we react to a situation, it so happens that we are not in control of self or that of the situation, however, when we give ourselves a moment to analyze the situation and develop a considered response we are in total control. It is our assertiveness while conveying thoughts as a response to a situation that maintains our personal integrity. A young girl walked up to her father and said that she is very unhappy with the way things are turning out. Everything that is happening around her seems so challenging and that even before one problem is solved another one follows. The father who was listening to her daughter asked her to accompany him to the kitchen. There he took 3 pots, filled them with water and put it on high fire. He then added potato to one pot, egg to the se...
