We Are What We Think


Our mind
Mind! very dangerous place from where all our thoughts gets originate. The thoughts of ourselves, thoughts of relations, thoughts of friends, thoughts of work, thoughts of just anything...
But mind is very cunning. It does not only creates thoughts but after that it starts the 'Thinking
process'. thinking! again harmful for us. because it results into some answer or way to find the answers. and this is the root of the problem. We just want the result,We just want the conclusion.No doubt, we have to think!! We are intelligent human beings.We have achieved so much with the help of thinking only! The idea comes from thinking.So thinking is required.

We are what we think!
We are what we think! The way in which we think, we become like that only.... that's why the way of thinking should be little different from the common ones.

Comparison
We try to find the result or conclusion or whatever may be with our Ideologies,which brings the comparison.... comparison of course brings some kind of emotions, because something is superior than other one. But comparison among the things is not so helpful always. It will not solve the problem. Everyone is unique, everyone has his/her own ideas,principles. So why comparison? Definitely comparison with good things will bring some good change in the things/humans. But there is one big problem, If we gets very useful with comparing the things always, then after some time we just compare and try to find the mistakes. after that we see only mistakes, mistakes and mistakes.... This brings some kind of negativeness in us. We gets surrounded by negative power. Negative attitude creates overall bad changes in us.

Positiveness in thinking
Thinking should always be positive. It definitely results into success! sometime we have to see other side also like ''if this will not happened then what should I do?'' this is not the negativeness but the watching the opposite fact.

Images
Sometimes We think by making some assumptions, which are may be true or false but we consider the things and prepare some image of particular thing/person. This is only one-side thinking. We do not see the other sides or possibilities.We just goes on making images!! Any issue/thing may have number of dimensions but we consider only one of them for making 'Last result' easier!!

Original thinking
We read a book which is very famous, very interesting! If our friend asks ''what is there in the book??'' We just start the whole tape which had been written by the writer in that book. But the intention of the question is 'what you have understood, what you have thought on the writer's words??'
Very rarely we do Original thinking.Many a times we use the copy of words,copy of others thoughts. In Marathi the great sant 'Tukaram Maharaj' use very beautiful, useful sentence at the end of every poem i.e. "TUKA MHANE" this is not only because the 'Tukaram Maharaj' is the writer but also It has the useful advice that 'I have told you this but what is your opinion,your thought on my saying???'
So we should think on what we have read, what exactly the writer want to say and why? This will create the original thinking!! and with original thinking we can survive in any situation because the original thinking helps us to reach deep into root of any situation or problem!!!

Want a big relief? watch the thoughts!!
Yes... If we are very tensed, very pressurised and at that time only we are very unstable due to many negative or unwanted thoughts in our mind then the biggest way of relaxing is just watching the thoughts!! It is a fun in watching the thoughts! Do not at all think on those thoughts! thoughts will come and go slowly slowly... but do not react on the thoughts at that time. Thoughts wants us to be reacted so that they can live longer in our mind. But we should not give them our mind to control!!Soon we can realise our thought process.


Mind has tremendous power of thinking!! If we can learn how to use it cleverly then we can surely be happiest person on the Earth. We can change our whole attitude,lifestyle,personality with the help of 'Thinking power'!!!
Life is so beautiful if we are able to see it correctly! so enjoy the life with some beautiful thoughts!!!
Have a nice day!

HAPPY DIWALI!!!


It's the "Festival of Lights" today,
It's again the day of Diwali,
It's time to dress up folks,
It's time to adorn the thali.

It's the occasion to throng the temples,
Pray to the Gods and give them offerings,
It's an opportunity to entreat the deities,
To bless us all and rid us of sufferings.

It's the day to light the diyas,
Ignite the rockets and burst crackers,
But it's also the time to be safe,
From the fireworks and all the sparklers.

It's the season to pay a visit,
To all our friends and relations,
To hand them over sweets and presents,
Diwali is our splendid chance.

But while you spend a time of joy,
Don't think it's merriment all the way,
Out there wait many of those,
For whom it's no time to be gay.

Denied of laughter and smiles for days,
They know not what it is to enjoy,
Can you not share something you have,
Can you not bring them a little joy?

When you can make someone else smile
When you can be someone's ally
That's when you can yourself be glad
That's when you'll have a HAPPY DIWALI!

want to relax quickly...??

Nowadays We are very busy into our day to day life. We are under mental stress all the time. So there is need for our mind to be relaxed.Here are some tips for quick relaxation.

1]Take a deep breath – This can be done at anytime of the day and at any place. One can do while sitting at one’s desk. Let more oxygen into your body system. You will feel refreshed and relaxed completely. It eases out all tensions and frustrations. It does not require much effort

2] Go for a walk – Some fresh air will help you to relax and divert the mind. Apart from providing some physical exercise, a walk can also ensure a change in scene. It can be soothing on the nerves

3]A mental break – Few visualisations, imagery can divert the mind from the drudgery of work. They do not require much effort and will relax you both physically and mentally. The mind gets fresh and functions in a more alert manner

4]Change in outlook – Look at a given situation differently. Perhaps the way you are looking maybe causing much stress. Why not perceive it differently, search for different solutions, which may reduce the stress and tension. Be flexible in your
outlook. Receive new ideas, which can resolve the problem on hand easily

5]Progressive muscle relaxation – Relaxing all the muscles can reduce the physical and mental strain you are experiencing. The PMR technique can be carried out in the precincts of your office room and even while in a meeting you can relax th
e muscles.

HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY

First of all, Happy Independence day to all my fellow Indians. Independence! being an independent is really big thing. It's the hardest thing to achieve and more on that to maintain it!! Our great freedom fighters struggled so much to achieve it and now off course it's our responsibility to maintain this freedom.

I am proud to be an Indian! Really, unanimity in diversity has flourished in this country!! So many religions, so many languages, so many cultures
, so many regions, so many festivals, so many people... but there is something which binds these all diversities into one bunch called India.

HAPPY FRIENDSHIP DAY.....

A Friend
A friend is the one who tells you the truth
regardless of the cost,
A friend will help you find the thing's
you'd given up as lost

A friend will never put you down
or make you feel alone,
He'll smile and try t
o comfort you
'cause together you have grown

A friend is the one who picks you up
when you've fallen on the ground,
A friend is the one whose voice at night
is a welcome, warming sound

So when you think you're on your own
and wish you had a helping hand,
Remember, a friend is the one who,
when you cry, will always understand

Because the world is full of people
who will laughingly pretend,
But, when it's said
and done
you're lucky if you've got a friend ...

Ich lerne Deutsch (I am learning German…..)

Guten tag, Ich heiße VIPUL. wie geht es inhen?
It means, ‘good day, I am VIPUL. How are you?’ yes… I am doing one year Diploma course of German language from Kalina University, every Sundays 9 to 1. I think it’s always very interesting to learn other languages. Each language has its own beauty, own nature and I love to enjoy it. German is the third most taught foreign language in the English speaking world after French and Spanish. So I am enjoying it. Auf wiedexesehen (good bye).
