Who can heal me?

Who is a healer? I always thought that it may be a doctor, a guru, a saint, a master, a counselor, a parent, guide or friend - someone who has an expertise in his or her area of work, someone outside me whom i can approach and get benefited, someone who can help me relieve myself of the pain or hurt that i am currently in. Everything changed as i turned the table around and looked inside.

Unrelenting Conviction in Your Abilities

Unrelenting faith and conviction in one's own abilities, and the supreme authority of God is a wonderful ingredient to inner happiness.

Blame the floor or the table

This government is useless, my spouse did not wake me up in the morning, my boss does not understand what i am going through, my company should not have sold that business unit, the shopkeeper should have talked nicely, the movie could have been directed better, and on and on and on.....the blame game never ends, and we take it so casually, as an inherent part of our life.

Identify and live your core values

You have been blessed with some inherent core values as a part and parcel of your taking birth. Truth, Honesty, Discipline, Helping others, contribution of your value add...whatever be it..you must spend time analyzing what your core values are, and then strive to live by your values. It is important to identify them, because these values show you the much needed direction in life.

Presence of mind originates in stability

Are you a victim of a competition of any kind? The day you are born to the day you exist on this planet, competition seems to be omnipresent. It is more than handful to learn how to handle competition.

Where is the compass of your life?

Do you have the compass of your life with you? or you are being hit by situations and driven by life? Having a mission of life can set you in the right direction, and, trust me, life will never be the same again.
