Power of Gratitude

Today I want to share a very important story of  A Very Sick Bird......

 There was a bird who lived in the desert, very sick, no feathers, nothing to eat and drink, no shelter to live and kept on cursing his life day and night.
One day an Angel was crossing from that desert, bird stopped the Angel and inquired "Where are you going?"
Angel replied, "I am going to meet God".
So bird asked the angel "Please ask God when my suffering will come to an end?" Angel said "Sure, I will and bid  goodbye to the bird. Angel reached God's place and shared the message of the bird to Him. 
Angel told Him how pathetic the condition of the bird was and inquired when the suffering of the bird would end?

 God replied, "For the next seven lifetimes the bird has to suffer like this, no happiness till then."

 Angel said, "When the bird hears this he will get disheartened, Could you suggest any solution for this?"

 God replied, "Tell him to recite this mantra, "Thank You God for Everything".

 Angel met the bird again and delivered God's message to the bird.

 After seven days the Angel was passing again from the same path and saw that the bird was so happy, feathers grew up on his body, a small plant grew up in the desert area, a small pond of water was also there, the bird was singing and dancing cheerfully.

 Angel was astonished how it happened. God had told for seven lifetimes there is no happiness for the bird, with this question in mind he went to visit God.

 Angel asked his query then God replied, Yes, it was true there was no happiness for the bird for seven lifetimes but because the bird was reciting the mantra, "Thank You God For Everything" in every situation, when the bird fell down on the hot sand it said Thank you God for Everything. When it could not fly, it said Thank you God for Everything, so whatever the situation may be the bird kept on repeating Thank You God for Everything, and therefore the seven lifetimes of  pain, suffering and negativities got dissolved in seven days.

 When I heard this story it landed me in a different energy zone, I felt a tremendous  shift in my way of feeling, thinking and accepting and viewing life.

 I adopted this mantra in my life whatever the situation I faced I started reciting this mantra "THANK YOU GOD FOR EVERYTHING" It helped me to shift my view from what I did not have to what I have in my life.

 For instance, if my head used to pain I thanked God rest of my body is completely fine and healthy and I used to feel better immediately. In the same manner, I started using this mantra in my relationship, finance, social life, business, friends, colleagues and everything with which I can relate. I shared this story with everyone around which brought a great shift in their behaviour.

 This simple mantra really had a deep impact in my life, I started  feeling how blessed I am, how happy I am, how good life is.....

 The purpose of sharing this message is to make all of  us aware  how powerful, the Power  of Gratitude is. It can reshape our life.

 A simple word, a simple thought, which teaches us to be grateful for everything that we have in our life has the power to dissolve all pain,, suffering, and negativities which we are carrying, from so many years and even lifetimes. Let's recite this mantra continuously to experience the shift in our life.

 THANK YOU GOD FOR EVERYTHING...

"This, too, shall pass,"

Dr. Martin Seligman of the University of Pennsylvania did an intensive research on what creates learned helplessness. In his book Learned Optimism he reports on three specific patterns of beliefs that cause us to feel helpless and can destroy virtually every aspect of our lives. He calls these three categories permanence, pervasiveness, and personal. Many of our country's greatest achievers have succeeded in spite of running into huge problems and barriers. The difference between them and those who give up revolves around their beliefs about the permanence, or lack thereof, of their problems.  Achievers rarely, if ever, see a  problem as permanent, while those who fail, see even the smallest problems as permanent. Once you adopt the belief that there's nothing you can do to change something, simply because nothing you've  done up until now has changed it, you start to take a pernicious poison into your system. No matter what happens in your life, you've got ...

Problem Solving Questions ...............Continued

Every morning when we wake up, we ask ourselves questions. When the alarm goes off, what question do you ask yourself? Is it, How come I have to get up right now?," "Why aren't there more hours in the day?, "What if I hit the snooze alarm just one more time?" And as you get in the shower, what are you asking yourself? "Why do I have to go to work?," "How bad is the traffic going to be  today?," "What kind of stuff is going to be dumped on my desk today?" What if every day you consciously started asking a pattern of questions that would put you in the right frame of mind and that caused you to remember how grateful, happy, and excited you are? What kind of day do you think you'd have, with those positive emotional states as your filter?  Obviously it would affect how you feel about virtually everything. Realizing this, I decided I needed a "success ritual" and I created a series of questions that I ask myself ever...

The Magnificent Obsession - Creating A Compelling Future....

GIANT GOALS PRODUCE GIANT MOTIVATION So often, people ask me, "Where do I get my energy? With all that intensity, no wonder you're so successful. I just don't have your drive; I guess  I'm not motivated. I guess I'm lazy." My usual response is, "You're not lazy! You just have impotent goals!" Frequently I get a confused look to this response, at which point I explain that my level of excitement and drive comes from my goals. Every morning when I wake up, even if I feel physically exhausted from a lack of sleep, I'll still find the drive I need because my goals are so exciting to me. They get me up early, keep me up late, and inspire me to marshal my resources and use everything I can possibly find within the sphere of my influence to bring them to fruition. The same energy and sense of mission is available to you now, but it will never be awakened  by puny goals. The first step is to develop bigger, more inspiring, more challenging ...
