How to get Personal Achievement

We all have dreams,,,, We all want to believe deep down in our souls that we have a special gift, that we can make a difference, that we can touch others in a special way, and that we can make the world a better place. At one time in our lives, we all had a vision for the quality of  life that we desire and deserve. Yet, for many  of us, those dreams have become so shrouded in the  frustations and routines of daily life that we no longer even make an effort to accomplish them.  For far too many, the dream has dissipated      -  and with it, so has the will to shape our destinies. Many have lost that sense of certainty that creates the winner's edge. At times when I feel lonely and lost, I reflect on my life and how it has been in the past. All the challenges I  faced,  financial struggles, working hard in my job without a break,  trying hard to achieve my dreams, all the sacrifices that were made to achieve my dream of buying a...

how to overcome human misery

I just came across a book  which speaks about human misery and how we can overcome it. Our world has become so technologically advanced. We are striving so much forward to achieve perfection. In our lives, in our work, in what we do. There is so much competition on the job front, insecurity in our jobs, in our families. I know of people who do not speak up and  express their opinions. They grumble and  moan all day long about the wrong things that happen in their life but they will not be bold  and speak up. They are like people who are chained, like  slaves. They fear that if they speak out  then they may lose their jobs, they may lose their friends and so on. Not only are such people miserable but they make others also miserable. It is a very unhealthy environment which slowly kills the human spirit. In life we face so much difficulty, injustice, wrong things seem to happen to us. Inspite of doing everything well we get the worst end. It is difficu...

Pope Francis 2017 Christmas sermon

It's to be read and reread several times...(Seems to be that this Pope maybe the one with the greatest spirituality since Peter) "You can have flaws, be anxious, and be angry, yet not forget that your life is the greatest enterprise in the world. Only you can stop it from going bust.Many appreciate you, admire you and love you.  Remember that to be happy is not to have a sky without a storm, a road without accidents, work without fatigue, relationships without disappointments. To be happy is to find strength in forgiveness, hope in battles, security in the stage of fear, love in discord. It is to enjoy the smile, and also to reflect on the sadness. It is not only to celebrate the successes but also to learn lessons from the failures. It is to feel happy with the applause, and also to be happy in anonymity. Being happy is not a fatality of destiny, but an achievement for those who can travel within themselves. To be happy is to stop feeling like a victim and become your d...

Asking God for everything

I used to ask God to give me everything so that I can enjoy my life.  I wanted success, wealth, power, good health, security, material wealth, riches, cars,  vacations, luxurious life, high lifestyle, and basically everything that can  make a  person happy. And God replied, I have given you LIFE  so that you may enjoy everything........ Seriously friends, if you ponder on this, 'LIFE' is  the greatest gift that God has given us. We need to thank him everyday  for this gift. For keeping us alive and healthy each and everyday so that we can enjoy his creation........... 

We should always be ready to help others in our own small ways.

Many a times when we  see something wrong going on or when injustice happening somewhere or when we see rude behaviour, we think that we should not bother about such things and mind our own business. Most of us are taught to react in this manner right from childhood.    Imagine  that we are travelling by a rickshaw and the driver is continuously spitting, it is our duty to make him understand that spitting on the road causes various diseases, and in general, it is a bad habit. But if we think 'why should we bother?' then the result could be that we could get infected in one way because of this. Take another example, where street lights remain switched on even after the sun has come out because the electricity department forgot to switch it off. As a good citizen, we must call and remind the department to switch off the lights, but if we think, 'why should we bother?' not only is electricity being wasted, but we will have to suffer power cuts later. Hence, whenev...
