Quote of the day


Frustration and comparison

What touches me most is when someone very honestly acknowledges and speaks about the blocks they feel within. One friend talked about feeling jealousy. I know most of us have felt envious at various times when we haven't succeeded in achieving what another has. Or, when we wish we had the attributes or traits of another...or even the luck of another. 

Tough luck, friends! We may be on the wrong thinking track. We are, each one of us, fashioned in a certain way. There is no tax on dreaming and working towards what we want to achieve. The problem lies in how we react when do NOT succeed in achieving the goal.

And this is the time of frustration and comparison with those who stand a little or more than a little above us.

Time to start understanding our life and crossing the "T" s and dotting the "I" s in our lives, not in those of others. There is magic within each of us which lies undiscovered because we forget to look within. We are unique. Why aspire to be someone else?

Quote of the day


Gratitude

Gratitude with a motive! Another human aberration! Gratitude is a pure form of recognizing what we have been given by the Divine and with humility.

Prayers are linked with gratitude. When we visit a temple, church, mosque, we are in a mode of surrender. And we feel good energy within and around us.

But get involved in the same daily environment and that good energy doesn't take long to disappear. Wants raise their head and gratitude gets lost.

Only if we are constantly in a state of awareness and prayer can we achieve a constant state of gratitude.
