Raise Your Self-esteem

Feelings of low self-esteem may be triggered by being treated poorly by someone else recently or in the past, or by a person’s own judgments of him or herself. This is normal.

 However, low self-esteem is a constant companion for too many people, especially those who experience depression, anxiety, phobias, psychosis, delusional thinking, or who have an illness or a disability.

 To help relieve these feelings, let your friends know what you are going through. Have a good cry if you can. Do things to relax. Specially tell yourself — “I am a very special, unique, and valuable person. I deserve to feel good about myself.”

 Self-esteem, Depression and Other Illnesses

 Before you begin to consider strategies and activities to help raise your self-esteem, it is important to remember that low self-esteem may be due to depression. Low self-esteem is a symptom of depression. To make things even more complicated, the depression may be a symptom of some other illness. 

Things You Can Do Right Away—Every Day—to Raise Your Self-esteem

 Pay attention to your own needs and wants.

Take very good care of yourself.

Eat healthy foods and avoid junk foods

You can Win……… too …… Impresses Anybody….

 

Most of the times Reading a book gives focus on thoughts that are there at the back of our minds … which we generally fail to word….. But as you read through … It sounds Awesome….

Some sentences that impressed me as I read… ” You Can Win ” By  Shiv Khera…. I will log it for myself….

When you go digging for an ounce of GOLD … you have to move TONS of DIRT … but .. When you go digging you do not look at dirt, you go looking for the GOLD

Nagative people always Criticize

paralysis by analysis is one worst disease

Count your blessings, not your troubles.

Learn to Learn

You need to become seeker of GOOD

Foolish people have strange kind of confidance that comes with ignorance.

Past glory and education does not count much… we need to shrpen our Axe.

Persons character is not only judged by the company they keep but also the company they avoid.

Using Profanity is lack of vocabulary, self-control & Discipline.

You need to keep your mind on What you want , not on what you don’t want.

……….

 Not ‘The End’ as I have not finished the book ….. so ….. Will edit this post ….. as my journey through the book continues  ……

Money…. is what money does!!!

Money isn’t Everything ….. is the …. Greatest philosophy of people who does not have it… ..  

There is Jewish proverb that says “ With Money in your pocket, You are wise… You are Handsome and You can sing well too”…. 

Money is what Money does….

That’s all…. Now can you believe that?? There are people in the world who do not know what they want to do with the money if they have money… the just to have it … Ooops have lots of it.. but here again they do not know  how much lots of  it is…. .. U see if the reason of having money is just for the heck of feeling rich… believe me either you do not get to earn that kind of money or that the money will make you feel lost…  

Guess what ??  You need to have a compelling reason to have Money… and more so… the quantifying amount of money.. Most of us are uncomfortable to quantify money .. How many of us can Dream…… having a million in the bank account…. But all of are very comfortable in saying … Big bank balance?? Now how BIG is Big?? 

People have hell lot of reasons to NOT  to think of money…… They say if you concentrate on money making….you lose on family … Friends….. Joys of life …even peace of mind… sounds common isn’t ?? 

Why can we not think of saying …… This amount of money .. can bring so much of  comfort to family… We can meet friends often…. We can ensure joys of life and thus have stress free mind???

 Have a purpose in the pursuit of making money then its not the money that drives the life. It’s that compelling reason…..Money by itself is nothing.. ….Sure…. BUT it’s a fabulous machine that  can make us get so many things…… 

So use money only with a reason….. then it becomes powerful….serves all the purpose in life… Do not desire money … but have passion for what money can fulfill… then is when you are using money only as a tool to achieve your purposes in life!!

 What so ever the Compelling  reason to earn money … if one is not passionate about the reason…. Or if one has not discovered the reason to earn money ……You can not earn Money…

So  ……  Unleash  your desires….. Discover your compelling reasons to have money…. The sooner you do it… you will find ways to have Money….

One last thing…….. Make your reasons  progressive ….. and you will see your channel for earning money just widens…..

That’s MY  thought process…. You need not do it… I am not  the Loser……

Cheerio…..

Women R after all not from Venus…..

It’s always assumed that women are the species from Venus!! ……. The Romance world…. Think again….. May be YES !!  for a girl its Flowers …. Gifts….. Soft Music… that gives the Romantic feeling…

but I say she knows where to draw the line….. & ….start thinking from the Grey cells… surprised??? But Ironically, that is the Truth….. 

Men can throw every other caution to wind…..  and sit brooding … though they may do it privately &  in the nights without any audience….  May be even howl like babies to sleep… They pine for their Love….They take longer time to get over their love than women…  

A study at University of Albany challenges  that its Women who aspire for achievements and are more focused than Men There are numerous Women out there who puts Career ahead to any Relationship….

Why is that so???. ……  Women are always preconceived to be recognized because of her relation to men…. Daughter … Friend…. Love….Wife….Companion….Mother…. Nobody  thinks of  women when you say  Engineer ….. Doctor….Pilot….Sepoy…

But think again …… the moment you hear … Cook ….. Maid… Nurse… Teacher….you definitely  visualize  Women….  Is that why  Women are striving to make it in their Careers???? Not in relationships???? 

Something to munch….. on…. relaxed Weekend !!!

Some lines I enjoyed reading ‘ Alchemist ‘

 Alchemist is a book about ‘Chasing Dreams’……. I liked….

No heart has ever suffered when it goes in search of its dreams

It’s the possibility of having a dream come true that makes life interesting.

When you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it…

Everyone seems to have a clear idea of how other people should lead their lives, but none about his or her own.

At a certain point in our lives, we lose control of what’s happening to us, and our lives become controlled by fate. That’s the worlds greatest lie.

Whoever you are, or whatever it is that you do, when you really want something, its because that desire originated in the soul of the universe. Its your mission on earth.

We have to take advantage when luck is on our side, and do as much to help it as its doing to help us. Its called the principle of favorability. Or beginners luck.

One is loved because one is loved. No reason is needed for loving.

Cheerio………

Place I have fallen in Love with :-)

Saint mary’s Island!!!  

Probably this is the third time I have visited this place and and it felt  like home coming!! No doubt that Mangalore can be extemes any day… hottest summer days… pouring non stop  rainy days……  salty   breezy winds… and god knows whats winter at mangalore I have not visited …………  

[ Food for thought... I can make my next trip in winter to fill this gap ] 

 

Udupi is a small district with ethereal beauty of lord Krishan..Oh yes …Its the same Udupi of “Udupi Hotels” world wide famous  ….. It’s about  from Mangalore and 10 Kms from this place is  “Malpe”  Basically a fisherman’s heaven [ You got to adjoust to the  "fish " it just smells Fishy ]  Malpe also has one of the oldest tile making establishments!!… What’s more Malpe is a natural port!!!

 

 Malpe…great picnic spot with the long streching endless gloden virgin beach…. Gently swaying palm trees……. enthralling gurgle of sea…….. clear blue sky…. makes it more enchanting !!!!!

Seven nautical miles from Malpe beach is a delightful getaway…. raechable by a simple ferry-ride across sea “ Saint mary’s  Island ” ….. its simply heaven by beauty……. not weather…… Though the authorities do not allow to land on the Island when there are heavy winds across the sea but worth a visit and believe me it beckons you with those salty sweet breeze ………..  every time to go back….

On the whole Island you find massive , natural, volcanic, hexagonal shaped pillar like rocks grouped together in various numbers and sizes…….. They are a feast to a nature lovers eyes…

The sea between these rocky Islands and the shore is a very safe place for anchorage even in the rough stormy  weather….

Believe me either that you will not want to return back from there or keep returning back to that heaven always

My dream

  

Dreams are never a bad trip….. I have this dream place.. Australia.  One day I want to be here!!

I do not know anything about this place I am clueless as to how I would go about making this happen But only thing I am damn sure is one day!! one fine day I  am there 

Now that’s what I call my blind dream ………….

All I Do is Dream!

Ever been to Dreamland??? [Now who hasn't?? ]

 If U say NO !! Either you are not existing…. or you r a big liar….Or u just dont comprehend what I am saying..

Dreams are a greater vent to human thought process….Dreaming should b elixir of life only then can u think of having greater achievements!!

Some shrinks say ..Dream is the window to  inner cravings …they try and analise Y someone is dreaming somethin……..But I feel dream is way to reaching top….Visionaries!! r great dreamers…I always hav felt the day one stops dreaming they DIE…atleast not literally….

 People dreamt greatest Impossibilities….and  the world has seen them happen….

Nelson madela ..Martin Luther king…..

Close home…..Gandhi…….dreamt  Nehru , Ambedkar, Tata, Ambani…..they made things happen…

I have dreamt loads of things too… we all do……but difference lies in the fact tht we don’t stick to them , come what may!!!

 We r not passinate about our dreams……Dream without passion is lik mirage!! Its there just on horizon……

I say ‘DREAM BIG &  DREAM ALWAYS’   Dream  what that small inner voice says and there you go… leaping  forward , scaling greater heights ..setting newer zenith… and of course blind to all hindrances on way……….

I have biggest dream… to make people not to remember me…….. b’coz  I want them never forget me….

[ So when U do not forget whats there to remember?????!!  ]

Hmmm…………..DREAM AWAY!!!…..

PS: This is one dream …………read on………..
