Love and Hurt......
especially we get killing hurt when we are so in love...
may be the person who caused this hurt ...
don't know how much he/she damaged your life ...
and you can't even explain him/ her...
all what you learn is to live with it...
to smile to the people like nothing happened...
eat, sleep, work, talk...
like nothing bad happened to you...
and you can't even talk about it with anyone...
only you understand how much you are alone ...
with this pain...
you leave people ...
you leave world ...
and become alone...
sometimes ...
both feel the same pain ...
but they remain apart...
only God knows why...
it isn't forever...
with time ...
pain goes away ...
and one day ...
the best person comes to your way ...
to "kiss" out this pain from you...
Are you aware of your inner critic?
-- Channing Pollock
Are you aware of your inner critic? We all have this
voice that tells us we are bad, stupid, clumsy,
cowardly.... Although its intent is to help us succeed,
the harsh self talk of our critic just serves to drain
our energy and lower our morale and immune system.
To defuse the inner critic, we need to recognize when
the critic is speaking. We need to know that this voice
does not necessarily speak for who we really are. This
is an old pattern that may no longer be serving us. We
want to open to the possibility that the words are not
likely true. We can ask ourselves, "Are these words
helpful?"
"No one can make you feel inferior without your consent."
-- Eleanor Roosevelt
Tips for Spiritual Growth..
Spiritual growth is the process of inner awakening, and becoming conscious of our inner being. It means the rising of the consciousness beyond the ordinary existence, and awakening to some universal truths. It means going beyond the mind and the ego and realizing who you really are. Spiritual growth is not a means for escaping from responsibilities, behaving strangely and becoming an impractical person. It is a method of growing and becoming a stronger, happier and a more responsible person.
Acknowledge the fact that you are a spirit with a physical body, not a physical body with a spirit. If you can accept this idea, it will change your attitude towards many things in life.
Analyze your personality and mind, and try to find out what is it that makes you feel conscious and alive.
Be in control of what enters your mind. Open the door for the positive and close it for the negative.
Develop the happiness habit, by always looking at the brighter side of life and endeavoring to be happy. Happiness comes from within. Do not let outer circumstances decide your happiness.
Exercise your will power and decision making ability. This strengthens you and gives you control over your mind.
Thank the universe for everything that you receive.
Develop tolerance, patience, tact and consideration for others in your life.
Read a lot of spiritually uplifting books. Think about what you read, and incorporate this information in changing the path of your life.
Meditate for at least 15 minutes every day. If you do not know how to meditate, refer to books or websites or consult a teacher who can teach you how to meditate.
Learn to calm your mind through concentration exercises and meditation.

Tonic for the Mind
Mind stands between two natures in life - the lower,
made ugly by the clamours of our passions, and the
upper, rendered beautiful with the harmony of peace.
The mind can reflect both sides. The more and more
the mirror of mind is turned inward it reflects the calm
serenity of the harmony of the Self and we feel joyous.
Melancholy is the language of delusion. Joy is the
music of Truth.
- Swami Chinmayananda
Deciding the days..
While getting ready for work, she writes on a piece of paper, "Honey, you know I love you, but your never ending requests for sex are leaving me drained and really tired. So I propose that we only have sex on days that start with the letter 'T', to minimize the frequency of our lovemaking sessions. Don't be mad at me honey, just understand where I am coming from, and let me know if my request is too demanding of you."
On her way out the door, she uses a refrigerator magnet and sticks the note to the fridge door, hoping that her sex craved husband will be understanding and accepting of her proposal when he reads it.
Upon returning home, she glances at the refrigerator and notices that her note has been replaced with a note from her husband that reads, "Baby, I didn't' realize that I was putting you under so much pressure and I'm sorry.
I accept your proposal and have even taken the extra step of listing at the bottom of this letter, those days starting with the letter 'T' to make sure that we are on the same page.
1. TUESDAY
2. THURSDAY
3. TODAY
4. TOMORROW
P.S. I love you too, and remember it's still TODAY, I am waiting for you upstairs."
