How to live happily?

 In the present age, happiness has become synonymous with material success. It has become so encompassing that people spend most of their time as well as expend a considerable amount of their physical and mental energy in trying to achieve it. Sadly, not many people realize that this is not just a phenomenon of modern day living, but a major degenerative disease in their lives. In an effort to achieve our goals, we forget that the mind and body are not completely suited to cope with such stress and strain. Happiness is not synonymous with material fulfillments of worldly desires but actually is the complete freedom from this. The mind is at peace only when it is free from the carving for material and personal gains. The concept of stress is born out of this dilemma. In pursuit of attaining happiness along with materialistic goals, one is confronted with a situation that needs harmony. It is the discrepancy between the desires and their fulfillment that throws one out of harmony with the environment.The feeling of frustration, fear and anxiety born out of this situation is recognized as stress. To achieve that elusive harmony man has renewed his interest in the philosophy of meditation. Meditation, worldwide, is recognized as a means to free one from fear and frustrations. It gives an inner strength which gradually leads to a harmonious existence. What we need to know and learn is how to use this mind to improve our lives. Meditation is the key which help us to and awaken the sleeping mind and bring it into a state of consciousness. The philosophy of meditation is entrenched in the belief: “One should not search for harmony in the environment or the external world.

Success quote: Success never comes easy

 There is no ladder on which you can step up to success. When it comes to reaching your destination, life throws many tantrums and your path is always filled with thorns. But brave are those who are determined and never halt. They tread their path as if there will be no tomorrow and feel content only after reaching their destination. God is always testing us and strengthening us. He doesn’t give us the way to success but he always gives us the courage to reach our destiny and if we lack determination, he makes sure that he puts our life in such a way that we have the predicaments so that we try to overcome them by strengthening our courage.  Most of the people give up while battling with these predicaments which are actually to help us build our courage. But those who triumph over this dilemma emerge as winners. Everybody wants to be a winner but nobody wants to pay the price for it. We keep cribbing how our neighbours, friends, celebrities got the achievements but never we think over what they went through in order to achieve that. We never mull over the circumstances they endured. We just compare their current condition with that of ours and spend our whole life shouting how god was unfair to us, but we never have audacity to start working on our shortcomings and mould our life in such a way that we can achieve success. Success isn’t easy but it’s not that difficult too. If you are determined, nobody can stop you from achieving what you want. Never fear your deficiency. Never let your weakness come in between your way to success. Once you fail, keep trying until you achieve success. Success and failures are within us. You become what you think of yourself. So never think of yourself as a fiasco. Never be disappointed. Make sure that … [Read more...]

Pick out ‘friends’ all round the room. If you see an ‘impress me’ person and get discouraged, switch your view back to one of your ‘friend’. Once you are aware that there are people in your audience who want you to succeed, you’ll be much more likely to succeed. Voice Modulation: Microphones, if used effectively will be a great tool for Voice Modulation.

Success secrets and quotes

 Success quote: “Hard-work is another name for luck (success). Leave nothing to chance”. There is no short-cut route for success and happiness. Failures may come while striving for successful career. But never get disappointed, as failures are the stepping stones for success in life. Carefully observe the tides in the sea-waters. The tide rises itself, whenever it falls. It never gets tired in its attempts. That should be our motto and we should be inspired by the relentless activity of the tides. Success quote: “time and tide wait for none”. If we show the lazy attitude, we can’t reach the other side of the river, from where we stand (that is from this side of the river). Leave the failure there itself, if you come across failure at all, on your way to successful career. Keep your eyes always on your aim and never deviate from it, under any circumstances. The causes of failure are: 1. Fear 2. Negative-attitude or thinking, 3. Away from the keen observation of facts or actual situations, 4. Not realizing our own defects, 5. Unable to overcome stress and strain.  1. Fear: It is the most important cause. If once fear enters into our mind, the door is closed for further opportunities. Fear doesn’t allow our mouth to open and we can’t speak at the proper time to express our feelings. So, sincerely try to keep the fear far away, then automatically, self-confidence enters into our mind. 2. Controlling our thoughts: Avoid negative thoughts and think positively.

Be practical and see the … [Read more...]
