Dear Friends,

Slow down and enjoy life.
It's not only the scenery you miss by going too fast, you also miss the sense of where you are going and why.

A beautiful quote i thought of sharing with u all,


I am still determined to be cheerful and happy, in whatever situation I may be; for I have also learned from experience that the greater part of our happiness or misery depends upon our dispositions, and not upon our circumstances.

Martha Washington (1732 - 1802

 10 things that you need to follow for SELF MOTIVATION~~~

1. Do not worry if you make mistakes. Making mistakes is one way we can learn and improve in our life. There is no one that has never made any mistake. The most important thing here is you realize that you have made mistakes and do not repeat the same mistakes again. You learn more from mistakes you have made than any other way.

2. Feel happy about your life. Happiness generates more positive energy within you. This energy is important to keep you more optimistic and enthusiastic about your life. Happy people are always motivated to accomplish something in their life.

3. Get out of your comfort zone. You need to learn to get into unfamiliar surroundings to explore better opportunities. Do not just stick around with the same people, same known places, skills or work. Explore new things that will enhance your ability to achieve your goals and keep you stay motivated.

4. Think the unthinkable. Nothing will stop you from thinking of goals you want to achieve. You have to dream high in order to set high goals. Everything starts with a dream. Do not limit yourself in your goals and dreams.

5. Read and listen to inspirational materials. You have to start spending time reading motivational books and listening to inspirational tapes. But, you must also implement what you learn from your reading and listening. New things you learn from these exercises will give you excitement and energy to work harder toward achieving your goals.

6. Resolve problems instead of running away. Your ride to success destination will not be smooth all the time. You will face difficulties. Do not quit when you experience predicaments in your quest to achieve your dreams. Frustrations and setbacks naturally form as parts of your success venture.

7. Appreciate every moment of your life. Think of what your life really is as of now. Appreciate every moment you have currently. Thinking about the past or day dreaming about the future will not bring you anywhere. Appreciating your current conditions makes you feel much better and realize the need to move forward to achieve your goals.

8. Finish what you start. Once you have started something, finish it. Never leave what you do halfway regardless of the end result. This will train you to accomplish something out of things that you do.

9. Face challenges one at a time. Challenges come to us almost all the time. Take up one challenge at a time. Do not try to accumulate and face them at one go. As the challenges accumulate, you will only feel less motivated to face them and finally unable to complete anything.

10. Care less about what people say. You may hear a lot of bad things people say about you. Sometimes those bad comments may come from somebody close to you. As long as you fully know what you are doing to achieve your goals, you can let those comments fall into deaf ears. Thinking too much about what people say will only make you weaker and loose focus on your effort.

Seven Rules of Motivation

#1 Set a major goal, but follow a path. The path has mini goals that go in many directions. When you learn to succeed at mini goals, you will be motivated to challenge grand goals. 

#2 Finish what you start. A half finished project is of no use to anyone. Quitting is a habit. Develop the habit of finishing self-motivated projects.
 
#3 Socialize with others of similar interest. Mutual support is motivating. We will develop the attitudes of our five best friends. If they are losers, we will be a loser. If they are winners, we will be a winner. To be a cowboy we must associate with cowboys.   

#4 Learn how to learn. Dependency on others for knowledge supports the habit of procrastination. Man has the ability to learn without instructors. In fact, when we learn the art of self-education we will find, if not create, opportunity to find success beyond our wildest dreams.

#5 Harmonize natural talent with interest that motivates. Natural talent creates motivation, motivation creates persistence and persistence gets the job done. 

#6 Increase knowledge of subjects that inspires. The more we know about a subject, the more we want to learn about it. A self-propelled upward spiral develops.
 
#7 Take risk. Failure and bouncing back are elements of motivation. Failure is a learning tool. No one has ever succeeded at anything worthwhile without a string of failures.

Om Sai Ram~~~

# " There are many paths in life, all leading every which way. At times it may be too dark to see the paths, or we may choose a path that says no entry. However the paths we choose make for the people that we are. Without these walks in life we get bored, tired and stagnant. We lose that spark that every human being has, that light, that life. Be who you want to be, walk where you want to walk, love who you want to love, and make life what you want to make it."

# " If a mirror was able to talk, what would it say? You are a wonderful person who sees opportunity in every situation. You are a remarkable person who gives to others without regret. You are dedicated person who supports those around you. You are a person who gives love and deserves it right back. Now, look in the mirror...and listen."

# " Dream big! You will never know whose life you might change. Go for the stars if you have to!"

# " You know when we dream, it shows a lot about us; we, as in dreamers, true dreamers. True dreamers are those who dare to reach to the heavens. True dreamers are those who seek that glorified road. True dreamers are those who pursue their dream, longing to have the feeling of walking upon the Gods. True dreamers are those who act with their heart everyday, to reach that heavenly glory of achieving their dream. When that day comes, we, as true dreamers, will realize the true beauty of our wonderful journey. Not just by working hard with all your heart, yet also, just by having the dream."

Don't curse the darkness--light a candle~~~

The most pathetic person in the world is someone who has sight but has no vision~~~

If your vision is one year; cultivate flowers. If your vision is ten years, cultivate trees. If your vision is eternity, cultivate people~~~

First they ignore you, then laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win~~~

For every minute you remain angry, you give up sixty seconds of peace of mind~~~

The foolish seeks happiness in the distance; the wise person grows it under his feet~~~

Om Sai Ram~~~

   Be strong!~~~!

We are not here to play, to dream, to drift;
We have hard work to do, and loads to lift;
Shun not the struggle--face it; 'its God's gift.

   Be strong!~~~!

Say not, "The days are evil. Who's to blame?"
And fold the hands and acquiesce--oh shame!
Stand up, speak out, and bravely, in God's name.

   Be strong!~~~!

It matters not how deep intrenched the wrong.
How hard the battle goes, the day how long;
Faint not--fight on! To-morrow comes the song.

" Set your standards high
You deserve the best.
Try for what you want
And never settle for less.
Believe in yourself
No matter what who choose.
Keep a winning attitude

Think about your destination

" If everyone puts their total efforts into making their teammates better, they themselves will be the recipients of each of their teammate's efforts"~~~

" When you think you're off track, refocus on where you've come from and what it's taken to get to where you are today. Focus on the great achievements you've made, the milestones and reach within and feel those successes. All that matters is getting back on track and turning that dream into your reality"~~~

" Complain less, be grateful more; let others genuinely know how much you appreciate them, then watch as that appreciation genuinely goes a long way. This is your life in which you, yes only you, have complete control. So soar to the impossible, reach the unreachable, speak with boldness and overcome authority that conquers all doubt and fear to be a figure of greatness, shining off gratefulness for the world to see and gain a sense of strength from"~~~
