Today we are living in a dynamic world. It is hard to find time to read good books and absorb some lessons from others! Life is teaching lessons constantly. We often wonder, why those lessons are not learnt earlier? and is it still too late to react or correct overselves? The best teacher to learn lesson for life is self! If you are proactive, yes, then it is possible to learn from others! There are certain moments in our life which are wonderful and worth remembering!. I was facinated by the thoughts, messages and actions for better life! It is always better to share these thoughts and messages through this blog .. The snippets are reproduced here..
The power of gratitude and forgiveness:
Remember those beautiful moments when you have met someone wonderful, who miraculously seems to think you are wonderful too. You also find your self in the heart of a group of friends sustained by cheerfulness and good humour and you think how lucky you are to have them. Remember the time you were stranded and somebody offered you a timely lift/help. Mother Teresa who treated everything that comes to her as a gift. If you really want to feel enormous gratitude for your messy, problematic life try nearly loosing it. I have never felt so abundantly, humbly, instantly grateful so in love with my life as I did immediately after surviving a road accident!
Living your own life & How to change your self-image:
People always think that a change has to be dramatic and radical and sometimes that can work.Adventures of whatever kind can lead to a dramatic change of self image. And a change of self image leads inexorably to a difference in the way the world treats you. Things that don’t change and stay small are invisible. Surprise people and they begin to look at you in a new way. Transform from a person who says “No” you have to become a person who says “Yes” and that makes all the difference.
Being your own best friend:
Think of the kindest person you know, the most encouraging teacher, the most loving parent. That is the voice you want to encourage in your own head. When you make a mess of tasks, don’t shout at yourself and hurl insults. Sit back, Tell yourself, without heat, that you have not got it right this time, but congratulate yourself for trying. Then suggest to yourself that you have another go, may be trying something differently. Tell yourself that you know you can do it, and gently remind yourself of some past success. And finally if you really want to see your inner monster for what it is, take a piece of paper and write down without pausing to think all rude, destructive and negative things you hurl at yourself in your mind.
A short guide to the subconscious:
Your subconscious mind is at work when you fall asleep with a problem and wake up with a solution. Once you become aware of the ways in which your subconscious mind works the next step is to harness its power on purpose. We should all become skilled at connecting with our unconscious mind because the best decisions are made by a mind cooperating with itself. The huge power of unconscious has over us comes from repression. It is the subversive power of the hidden and unknown- Emotional self- Intellectual self- Spiritual self- Body
Writing a letter to God and getting reply from him:The advantage of writing a letter to God is that you are taking on the voice of an infinitely wise, all seeing, all knowing being with the perspective of eternity. There is a spark of that in all of us, and that spark will illuminate your reply.
The magic of 20 minutes:
Never under estimate the power of inertia. It takes far more energy and fuel for a plane to take off than it does to cruise. Cruising is the easy bit. That’s why the kind of people who finish projects have many ways to get themselves on to the runway and taxiing off. It might take all day for an original idea to happen or nothing happens, but you keep trying and then with a glug and burp things start moving. And it is the small things the increment of 20 minutes that can bring the shift.
Making a life with meaning:
You need shelter, security and sustenance. Without a roof, a lock on your door and food on your table any higher purpose is difficult to achieve.
Hope these selected '7' lessons helps you a lot to be successful in life.

'Rich or Poor' decided by the 'State of Mind'
India finally shown the world a spectacular CWG event, ninteenth in the series. When I posted the last blog, India was leading with 10 golds and yesterday, it finished second among all the participating countries with 38 gold medals and total of '101' medals, which obviously brought the cheers and great inspiration to all the citizens, sports men and sports women in the country. India projected as a poor country (slumdog !) to the world by the media all these years. Yesterday, it was altogehter a different story by the same media, which projected India as a 'RICH, NEW, YOUNG, MODERN and ACTIVE ++' to the world during the closing ceremony of CWG. From 7.00 pm till 10.00 pm it was a fasinating show for every Indian citizen (Thanks to Doordarshan). Politicians, sports personal, police, Delhi public, spectators, participants and 28,000 volunteers shown unity and performance during this CWG for its great success. Yesterday is already 'history' today! The memory is fresh and you can still live with it 'life-long'. Congratulations to all the winners and all the 'yet to be winners'.
When ever one think of poverty/weakness in some aspects, there comes a new opportunity to show and feel the richness. For examples Money comes and it goes ! Sometime it is highly valued and sometime it is drastically under valued! (People in stock market knows this fact!, even common man get a sense of it when he buys petrol or gold).
I personally belive the 'hard work' generated out of funds or support is highly valued. The equation is very simple. You may have money/funds to generate work or you might have worked for 'free' and preserved a part of it for encashing later. You want to see the money in 'numbers' or to see the work/experience as asset. Which is more risky? Keeping money as 'numbers' in savings or preserving the 'work/experience' as assets for encashing later? Certainly from our early experience the 'numbers' can be lost easily where as 'work/experience' is the asset which is difficult to lose. Look at china, most of the products produced in mass is usually licensed from Developed countries. The workers learn the art at someone's expenses and later encash them when required! Even if they were exploited (in the so called out-sourcing world), still they got some opportunity to learn new skill sets which would certainly help at difficult times. It is the same case with India. We are fast learners and eagerly looking for opportunity! Look at the movie 'Endhiran / Robot' by non other than our 'super-star' from south india, I believe it demonstrates that India can do something which we usually think only 'hollywood' can do! Again it is just state of mind. The moment you think it is 'difficult' you become poor, where as if you think it is 'possible' and suddenly turned to 'Rich'. The yield of hardwork could be respect, human relations, honor, love, good will, frienship, society support, or even mere numbers! Finally it is just a state of mind. We never think in this way.. until we experience ourself what is actually Rich or Poor? It is a very hard lesson to be learned. In the quotes of Mahatma, "Each one has to find his peace from within" (Discover Rich in You!)

India Shining: 10 golds so far at CWG
I composed earlier message with congratulations and best wishes .. by the time I revisited 'Google News' Indian players already updated their records through hardwork with additional 'Gold Medals'. [Click]
Hardwork Pays, The best is yet to come!
Golden moments for India! Wrestlers, shooters shine on India's golden day in CWG
New Delhi, Oct 6: On a day of golden moments for India wrestlers and shooters won five gold and two silver medals, marksmen set new records and men's hockey team bagged three points in its first outing at the Commonwealth Games here on Tuesday.
In hockey Indian men bounced back to beat Malaysia 3-2 after trailing twice. The Indians did well in tennis and swimming too.
India's gold rush on the second day of the Games began with Olympic champion Abhinav Bindra and world number 3 Gagan Narang hitting the bull's eye in the 10m air rifle pairs event. The two tallied 1,193 points together to beat their own record of 1,189 points set at the Melbourne Games four years ago.
Rahi Sarnobat and Anisa Sayyed were bang on target in the 25m pistol pairs event, scoring 1,156 points to take home the yellow metal.
The inspired show by the shooters was capped by the wrestlers who made a clean sweep of the Greco-Roman category with Anil Kumar, Sanjay Kumar and and Ravinder Singh bagging gold in the 96kg, 74 kg and 60kg respectively.
An elated Bindra said it was his "best moment" since winning the Beijing Olympics gold.
"This is my best moment since Beijing. It is always special to win a medal for the country. And this is the first time I am competing in such a big event on Indian soil," Bindra, who was also the country's flag bearer at the opening ceremony, said soon after the pair's sterling showing.
