Discipline:

When you were child dint know what was right way or better way to live life. Your mom knew it is important for you to brush your teeth every day. For you, brushing was not your interest. She thrust it upon u, forced it upon you. You were chased. You were bribed. You cried. 

By repeatedly doing it over a period of time you learnt to brush and it became your life style. Giving you a bath was thrust upon you. Over a period of time you could learn that and bathing was your lifestyle

You were sent to school. You cried, refused, you revolted. No matter how much you cried, you were dragged to school. You had to be disciplined. A discipline was cultivated in you and eventually it became a lifestyle.  If all of us were left unto ourselves as children our life would not have been any different from an animal.

You did not like it when your Grandma told you to keep the things from where it was picked.  You did it for pleasing her but it became your lifestyle. If someone has not disciplined u, you keep things where even you can’t find. So disorganized you are that One day you will search “Where am I”? Only when you shift the house 14 years later, you will get the thing you lost.

Exposure:

Unless we are exposed that there is a better way to live life, we never scale up. Only we are exposed to the outside world, we get to know the opportunities that lie ahead.  The size of a person’s dream is shaped by size of the environment he is exposed to.

You can’t learn a language unless there is an environment in which you can use the language.  How you speak your language depends on environment in which you are exposed.  Go to New York, you will find yourself walking fast.etc …

Wishing someone for their birthday:

If someone celebrates birthday, then wish them happy birthday along with a quality you admire of him or her. Or recall a special incident with him or her.

If someone commits a crime in a village in Africa, the person is made to sit in the chair. All people come and tell the qualities they admire about him. Eventually, he will start crying and think “why did I commit such a mistake. Why did I stoop down?”  So, keep reinforcing the positives which a person has.

Emotions: 

To emote is human and not to emote is animal. Don’t be ashamed of your emotions.  Keep the child within you awake.

Stay awake and learn from everything:

Anything can teach you. A blade of grass dancing in wind can teach you something if you are ready to learn from it.

Awaken the giant within you:

If “no” is not an option for you, then you won’t search for alternatives. If no is an option for u, you will settle down with a no.  When failure is not an option, you will think of success ONLY. Don’t wander around life being satisfied that you are one step above animal. Just because you hail from great family, getting promotion etc, don’t be satisfied. Being son of a great person is fine. What are you going to do with your potential?   “I work for a great Brand”. What are you going to do so that the company is going to be proud of you? A giant is sleeping within u. awaken it.

Impracticability is the vocabulary of a mediocre who does not want to take the responsibility of implementation. Don’t settle for anything ordinary.

We are powerful magnets. Decide what you want. Soon you can achieve that. All 7.2 bill people in world want to have a better life. But few take the responsibility.

Buddha says:

Buddham saranam gacchami: Continue to stay in touch with course of action.

Dhammam saranam gacchami:  Continue to stay in touch with values, teachings

Sangham saranam gacchami:  Continue to stay in touch with like minded people

Buddha says:  don’t assume you will be like this till the end. You are consistently programmed by environment in which you live. You are not a machine. If once programmed it stays eternally programmed. The lava after leaving volcano can’t retain its heat for too long. Further and further it moves away from volcano, the sooner and sooner it will lose its heat. One rotten tomato will spoil all the good tomatoes.

Going to office:

I might go to a place of worship without taking bath but I will not go to my office without taking bath. When we go to work, we realize that it is okay to go to work without being dressed properly. It is your way of showing what the place of work means to u.

Man gets manipulated easily:

30 min before Kaikeyi was sure that she loves Rama more than anyone. She loved Rama more than her own son Bharatha. She listened to Mandhirai for 30 minutes and she began to see Rama as a rival and threat. Only 30 min was required to contaminate d mind of Kaikeyi

Duryodhana and Arjuna dint know what to do .Duryodhana’s fall back was Saguni. He was bad and became ugly. Arjuna’s fall back was Krishna. He was good and became best.

“I think my manager is not good”. You will share this with a friend and come back loving your manager or hating him even more. “I think my brother is not right”. You will share this with someone n you will go back n tell your bro that you love him or you end relationship with him. Who your fallback is matters a lot.

Talk to a group of people and you will be convinced that best time is ahead of us.  Talk to a group of people and you will feel demoralized.  So important is the environment, i.e. the people who you r relating with. It takes nothing to pull someone down. It takes a lot to bring someone up!

Keep watching people around u. Are they uplifting your thinking or contaminating your thinking? Are you becoming futuristic in my thoughts? Do you believe in infinite possibly?

How do we celebrate ourselves?

Loving ourselves is seen as arrogance, ego etc. none of us realize that if you don’t love yourself, you can’t enjoy others loving u. “Love thy neighbor as you love yourself”

How to be happy?

Everything has to be right to b happy. To make some1 happy do something they like. . It is very easy to make others happy. Any person you cross, ask yourself what is d one thing I do thy will become happy. Feel the happiness you feel making others happy. You should be source of happiness for everyone around.

 Rather than thinking “what I want to cook for myself” if you think “what I want to cook for your loved ones”, you become Mother Theresa. The reason is enough to celebrate life.

If you become blotting paper without reacting to the emotions which people display, you become Buddha.

Happiness in small things and Success in big things

We set very high standards for our happiness and we set very low standards for our success.

Ordinary accomplishments makes us feel successful n we are expecting big time perfections for us to be happy in life. Let simple things make you happy in life n don’t get satisfied with ordinary success.

You have very high bar for happiness and very low bar for success. Reverse it. Don’t be satisfied with ordinary accomplishments. But everything should make you happy.

Mind > Thoughts > Words >Vocabulary

The mind of the man is the man.  If you have to change the man you have to change the Mind.

But Thoughts constitute mind. So, if you have to change the mind you have to change the Thoughts.

But Words constitute thoughts.  So if you have to change the Thoughts you have to change the Words.

If you have to change quality of your thoughts you have to change the quality of your words. Without changing quality of your words, you can’t change the quality of the human being you are!  When the quality of your thoughts changes, the quality of your mind changes .When the quality of your mind changes the quality of who you are changes!

We are conditioned by the environment:

We can't stop number of thoughts entering us on a daily basis! After talking to someone for 10 min have you felt that the world is doomed? After talking to someone for 10 min, have you felt very inspired and energetic? We can’t stop these thoughts which from all directions. Man is susceptible to conditioning whether he needs it or not! We all get conditioned by the environment we surround ourselves with. We are conditioned by our dominant circle. The words u use and thoughts u use are so dependent on the environment which you surround yourself with. If everyone speaks depressing language, soon you will also speak depressing language. If everyone believes in I can, soon you will believe that you can.

Don’t take your environment lightly. It plays a dominant role in your life. You are easily influenced by the environment. You will become like the environment. The thoughts you use, words you use everything depends on the environment.

99 percent of world are programmed by environment, the rest program the environment.

Build a resourceful vocabulary:

If you can’t correct you at thought level, at least correct yourself at vocabulary level. It all starts with u. Every opportunity you get, learn to say the right thought. Express it. Fill your vocabulary with love, bliss, top of the world, great, I can and yes. Learn to say yes to life.

When you chant something say "Love you so much" for 108 times, 108 memory cells are filed with those chants! Chant daily. It creates more memory cells! Eventually "Love you so much" becomes your most dominant thought.  In the beginning you will only say “Love you so much”. Eventually you will feel the love.  Even when you see a cockroach, it will be difficult to hate. So, say positive words always. You will fill your memory cells with positive words.   Say I love you often. It benefits you more than others.

So, if someone asks “How are you?” reply in a positive tone. Eventually you will become positive. If you scold someone with the filthiest vocabulary, you hear it and your mind hears it more than the other person.  It creates filthy thoughts in you and eventually your mind becomes filthy.  Because the distance b/w your mouth and your ears is shorter than your mouth and others ears.

Program yourself with "Aradhe Naavil Sutta Vadu”. A time will come when u will become master of your tongue!

Say “Things are not improving”, your things will not improve. Say “Things are improving”, your things will improve.  To experience quality of life, nothing has to change; only you have to change.

If opportunities are slipping from you, somewhere you are not thinking right. If your thoughts are not right, your vocabulary is not right.  Change what you say!

Vocabulary > Words > Thoughts > Mind > You

Quality of your vocabulary becomes Quality of Words.

Quality of Words becomes Quality of thoughts.

Quality of thoughts becomes Quality of mind.

Quality of mind becomes Quality of who you are.

Quality of who you are becomes your life.

So, to change quality of your life, you have to change your vocabulary.

So, Find something to appreciate.  Say some beautiful things to yourself. Speak about the right thing. Use right words. Search for right words and things.

Doctors say, “Medicine works on you proportionate to quality of thoughts”. If you give up, no one can help.  So, if there are patients in your home, you have to help the patients to create positive thoughts in them.

Excusaitis:

The greatest disease u can suffer from is a psychological disease. Dr. David Schwartz who authored the book “Magic of thinking big” made a research and found a disease “excusaitis”.  He mentioned that man does not want to be responsible for his failure. To bail himself he is very innovative in coming up with excuses.

You say that the environment is very competitive. There are people who succeeded in competitive environment. They have found a way to succeed by taking responsibility. You haven’t succeeded by giving excuses.

“At my age, can I do it”?

I don’t have intelligence

I don’t have qualification

For every excuse you can give, people have succeeded. People, who search for excuses, find excuses. People, who search for responsibilities, find responsibilities and they keep moving ahead

Dr. David Schwartz also said, if there is one contribution in parenting that u can do to your child, next time your child falls down, in order to console and pacify the child, do not say “Slap the floor”. You have incorporated a seed for a disease in your child “I can blame the floor for my fall”. For the rest of the life, the child will blame the teacher for failing, school for not scoring, political system for not progressing, hereditary for diseases, and anything.  If there are no reasons he/she will say “God is cruel” or “My Karma is not good”.  If you say that he fell because he fell down because he dint walk properly, the child will learn to be responsible for his fall.

Parents have to program the children to believe that their children can. This can be their greatest contribution. Constantly tell them they will make it big in life!

Cribbing, criticizing and complaining:

One such psychological disease like Excusaitis is “Cribbing, criticizing and complain”. It is a habit. You can find something or the other to crib or complain or criticize. If you make it a habit, you will always find something to crib or complain or criticize. Over a period of time the entire world looks wrong to you. When the entire world looks wrong to you, the damage is not to the world but to you. When whole world looks like garbage to you, you become a garbage bin. The damage you bring to you is eternally high. It creates complaining thoughts in your head, cribbing thoughts in your head … Because this has become a dominant thought, your happiness, peace of mind goes away. Your ruin yourself in this entire process. Disease takes away the ease with which you can live your life.

If you chose to appreciate, then you can appreciate anything. If you chose to Criticize, then you can criticize anything. Your mind is capable of doing both.

Do you live up to HIS expectation?

It is not the way life is. It is the way the thoughts reflect in your life. You mirror your life on the way you think.  Don’t expect ordinary results from you. You are not an ordinary person.  Each one of you has been created with a special capability. Before expecting that God has to live up to your expectation, ask yourself “am I living up to Gods Expectation?”

If God can take a form and come to the earth and sit with anyone of you one to one, God with lot of pain in his eyes will say “I have not used a mould to create u. I have hand crafted you specially. I don’t want u to be like anybody else. I want you be the only one of your kid. I gave a special ability to everyone I created”

There is greatness sleeping within all of us. Each one of us has been bestowed with unique, special ability. We should Demand more from ourselves.
