Enjoying my Sunday...

Planning to run 4 km this evening. I better start running again. Next race is on 3rd Sept. - DHL 5x5km Riley.

I've started my new hobby: drawing. And got so hooked that I am spending all my time on it. I've so many ideas but not the time to implement it. But I will catch them all :-)

Lately I've been busy reading "You were born rich" by Bob Proctor (Danish version: "Født til rigdom"). The English version is available on author's website: bobproctor.com

I enjoyed the later chapters very much.

Especially the view we normally have on getting/having money.

I like the new view and concept about money: It is your birthright to have money. It is simply the basic right for every human.

Seeing how true it is, make this new view more eatable.

I've also been one among those who says money is not everything. But I understand that money is one of the thing that makes you live your life to the fullest!

I see those who look at money with ease, have a wonderful life, and those who give too much importance to money or say they don't need money, don't have that much success in their life.

It really is a different view, and therefore the chances to get mistaken is huge. But who cares. It is all about my happiness, my life. People's prejudice doesn't affect me any longer :-)

I will be back with more of this readings once I have read this subject to an extent.

My next reading is by the famous Napoleon Hill: "Think and Grow Rich".

PS: I've attached my latest ongoing project: drawing:-)

Enjoy your Day!

Summer holidays with gratitude!

I'm back to little DK after two amazing weeks in Toronto, Canada.

I've been looking so much forward to this trip and it also turned out to be more joyful and fun than expected.

It was really nice to be among close relatives and spend time with them.

My credit card may be the one who is less happy after this wonderful trip, he he :-)

Shopping is such a wonderful pleasure when having saved a lot of money for this purpose only. I may admit I'm a spender, and I enjoyed it!

I got so many nice presents, which are unforgettable and most precious the moments with my cousins and uncles and aunts. Living abroad with only parents and siblings and the closest relative is your one cousin, it really is different and amazing being surrounded by a lot of family members.

Sarees are damn so expensive, and I don't understand people buy sarees in Canada when everything else is so cheap compared to the rest of the world...I mean little DK :-)

A lot of designer stuff is awfull cheap and I loved my shoppings in the US. More fun was the ride back to Canada, and the immigration/customs lady letting us in free of charge after seeing our bills. Lucky day I may say.

I have been on a hunt for the pentant with the sanscrit version of the Aum. And ended up being gifted both the sanscrit version and the Tamil version. The first one gifted by one uncle who I actually never met, and made the effort to drive 60 km in 30 degrees, and gifted me the pentant. It was so great getting it in this way. And the uncle was even not a relative, just a family friend of my dad's brother (the family I stayed with during my visit). The latter one gifted by my lovely cousin who makes so much effort in helping people, and it was such a beautiful unique design. I may say that I am greedy enough to keep them for my self!!!

It was really hard to come back and I wish I could make another trip soon. But I may start saving at first place before dreaming. But they say dreams come true, isn't it true?...Damn it is so...

I was bit surpriced today as I've been thinking that I was not using the Law of attraction. But somehow so many incidents from the past 2 weeks and today tell me that the Law is in action. I just don't feel like working hard for it. It is just coming into my way.

Today I read a quote from Rhonda Byrne which is about activity and inspired action.

to say in a simple way: "Activity feels hard. Inspired action feels wonderful."

True it is, and what an ease it cause, and feeling the gratitude, surely I'm enjoying the time. And wish of more of the same kind.

Love, joy and GRATITUDE!

Prejudice - so hard to get rid of

Hi there,

It has been a while ago, and yeah I quess my written exam (English) went well. Still waiting for the result. The oral exam is on coming Thursday. It's going to be fun to talk English for 30 minutes when I haven't had any chance to talk to people in English for more than few minutes only. We will see. A lot to revise this weekend. And I've already gathered a lot stress just by thinking of the exam.

A lot of things are coming up this month, the exam, the summer holiday, getting ready for the trip...only 2 weeks left. I can not swallow all this... I really have to plan my days well, otherwise there is a major chance for being drowned in all these tasks.

Ok Ok I said to myself to be more positive, more energitic, and you people out there may think, she has not done anything else than complaining. I will stop now. Taken into action :-)

Today I went to shop a trolley - I couldn't make up my mind which one to take - the average one or the exclusive one which is also an expensive one... Maybe I should borrow one from my parents - easier and a cheaper solution!

After the few hours hunt I went home to see the second match in the World Cup Tournament. But a specific programme took my interest and I was glued to the television seeing this programme about the talented and beautiful singer Susan Boyle. I was hooked from the very beginning. Right from her entrance in front of the audience and how all and everyone started to look at her. If prejudice had a face it could be the one which showed up among the audience and the judges when this wonderful singer entered the stage. (They didn't know her great voice, they only could see her appearance which was a middle aged woman far away from being a sophisticated lady.) I felt a little bit of resentment too. I could be one of the audience, I've caught myself being prejudiced. Only after having a look on people, and there it is. The ugly devil in us - we have to express our disgust without any compassion for the other person. Sometimes we really don't care how the person would feel. It is all about how WE feel!

It was bit painful to see this lady coming on stage and getting this welcome which was not pleasant at all. And it was more painful to see people's reaction when she started to sing. How we can turn 180 degree and be someone else, be in a total different stage of mood - just by hearing her singing. I didn't know whether to laugh or to cry. It was really pity!

The lady took it in a cool way. Maybe that's why she deserved to be such a big star now.

We may have experienced it once or more in our life time. That the ugly side within us comes to the surface. And what is more ugly is that we ignore our previous ugly behaviour and turns into a beautiful human who adores the person you just saw with so much disgust! It tells more about us as a human than the other person.

Maybe it is worthwhile to take a look on us as human once in a while. It is so pity to be one of the judges or one among the audience from that talent show.

Stories like hers and people like her make us to stop short and consider ourselves. Isn't it worth to be a beautiful human from deep within rather than getting a cheap laugh at the expense of somebody's look or way of being themselves?

But we still continue doing the same mistake over and over again. Even though we grow older and older.

Take a look on this video and you will understand what I' talking about.

Good night!

Free like a bird!

Hi everyone,

I wanted to post some thoughts for few hours ago, and now I lost it.

Anyways, I'm enjoying the long weekend and I should be preparing for my English exam this Tuesday. Somehow it is so complicated to find the disciplin for revising.

I may see what I can do this Tuesday. Writing this post will help a bit, maybe.

Well, I had my race last Wednesday. I didn't make it within the 30 minutes, which I looked for. It took me 33:38 :-( I may say I was bit disappointed. Because I know I can make it within the 30 minutes. So I went out for a 5km jogging today. The next race is on 14th of June. I've to improve my running skills, lol.

Lately I've not been on the higher frequencies so I made up myself to catch the loose ends so I can concentrate my mind and do my tasks perfectly.

I may admit that perfection somehow left my mind for years now. Order and improvement are words which I don't use that much energy on. Perfection is such a beautiful word. And I still remember how much effort I've put on certain things to come out with the best results when I was back in school. 6 years after university period, and I'm here well-knowing I can do much better than this.

I had the great pleasure to read the first chapters in this book "The Postive Principle to day" by Norman Vincent Peale. (Of course I'm reading the Danish version: Positiv tænkning og handling" :-)

And more I read from it more I realised that a particular word has filled my mind for several years now. The author is using the word "imPOSSIBLE", and how devastating this word can be for people's mind and ability. And for me it has always been this particular sentence: "I don't think I can or I can not...!" Ahhh...I had this sentence as the first one which will probably come out from my mouth if I was introduced to something new. Fortunately the use of this sentence is loosing its intensity, and nowadays I catch myself saying this.

I'm really fascinated by the human mind and its ability to make everything and anything possible - as long as you believe in it. And it really seems like I've wasted years not using the power in our human mind. Why?...simply because of my habitual thinking. And more I started believing on the statement "I can not", sooner I give up. I don't fight, I don't look into myself to get the best performance out of each opportunity. I give up even before I start to think whether if it is possible or not.

But I'm not gonna live with this. I made up my mind in this minute to not say or think the sentence again. The only thing is, that I've all the abilities to achieve everything I want. For a change I would start my sentence for all and every task I've to do with this: I can do this!

Yes I can!

Aah, see, this seems incredibly easy. And maybe it is. I just have to make it into this group of my habitual thinking!

Robins S. Sharma says in his book "The monk who sold his Ferrari" (Danish version: "Munken der solgte sin ferrari" and Tamil version: "Thanathu pokkisathai vitra thuravi") that it takes 21 days to make a new manner your habit. We will see whether he is right on his statement.

Before I finish this post, there was something amazing which I realised this weekend. How wonderful it is to let people chase their dreams. I often use to think about the consequences it may cause and get worried. I often use this way of thinking when it comes to my siblings and parents. I've to comment on their decisions. I could worry about what the next "problem" could be. But what you don't know is nothing worth to worry about. And if a specific matter makes one of your loved ones happy, then why don't you let them chase their dream? And when letting your loved ones do what they really want to do, you understands the exact meaning of "feeling free like a bird". Nothing to worry about. You just know that it is their matter, and if it would make them happy, then you will be happy on their behalf. I'm the eldest in our family, so maybe I've my reasons for my way of thinking. But right now I got rid of it. And yeah I'm feeling like a bird. So much freedom, to be the one I always wanted to be. I quess every relationships will succeed if we just give eachother room and let people chase their own dreams in stead of convincing them to chase our dreams. Yeah I learned a little more of life's wisdom... :-) Better late than never ;-)

Now it is time to sleep after enjoying a wonderful day!

Good night!

Forgiveness

Today started as planned with 5km jogging early morning before work.

I'm preparing for this year's 5km race. It is already tomorrow.

Last year my race was almost a disaster. 33 minutes to run 5 km :-(

This year is more promising: 29-30 minutes "only". Actually I wanted to do it within 25 minutes. Since last summer it has been one of my goals. Somehow I couldn't make it. This year I've to.

There are already another two races next month for women only. There have never been any excuses not to be fit, and absolutely no excuses when the summer is almost here. It is simply time to make last year's summer dresses to fit well (again).

Now I'm almost on the right track with these races, jogging regularly etc, it may be time to explore another of my neglected areas: Forgiveness.

It has always been a complicated part to forgive people from within your heart. And I have some unsorted matters from the last decade! It is always so easy to convince yourself that you have forgiven somebody. But the more you get into that particular matter, the sooner you will realise the fact that you only have repressed it. Facing the forgiveness part is tough, no doubt about it. Ask anyone. Unfortunately it is also damn so important to clean up the mess by forgiving those you are not willing to see in your life anylonger. And it is also damn so important to forgive those you really want becoming a part of your life in the very near future.

Without forgiveness I have run into the same wall again and again. Lately I started to understand why the same incidents happened again and again. I haven't let things go. And to let things go, I simply have to go through the tough part and forgive people, incidents, etc. - you like it or not, it has to be faced.

So my next bigger project is to examine myself for any unsolved matters - to give forgiveness from bottom of my heart even it has been a simple and silly matter.

This year started so well, and I've never felt more alive in my entire life: It is time to forgive. And I will do it!

Have a wonderful day!

A lot to learn

I've used my whole evening setting up my blog, and still there is a lot to learn. Anyways it has been little fun to explore this world of HTML codes ...........and I give up :-)

Good night!

For a very long time, to be more precise around 6 years ago, I wanted to create a blog/website, where I could write whatever hits my mind. To share my thoughts with the rest of the world with similar interests as me. Last year I created a group on facebook and started to write some of the thoughts I wanted to share with similar minded people. Today I had this great opportunity to create my own blog. I simply don't know why I haven't thought about this page a while ago. Anyways, today I could do it. I have pasted a text from my group on facebook. The text is written on 14th Dec, 2009. Still I find it reasonable to add it here: The ideas behind why I want to have a blog/group.

Have a wonderful day!

-----------

I hope you all are having a wonderful day, and I am having a wonderful day too.

I would like to write few more things about the reasons behind the idea of creating this group.

As mentioned above, it has been an inner desire for a very long time.
Recently I am having the pleasure of reading several writings by authors where personal growth and the opportunity creating your dream life are the main keywords. And I simply can NOT read all those good writings without sharing it with people with similar interests.

I did recommend books to few friends and relatives, but I rather like to have a place, where I can be inspired by others, their recommendations of new ways of thinking and not least inspire others by my own experiences.

The best way to be inspired is by reading about people's own experiences. And therefor I send a earnest request to all to not hesitate writing your own or dear one's experiences.

While creating this group a certain thought came to my mind. I want to write about my experiences using a pseudonym. Do I really have the strength to share my thoughts with people I may not know personally.
And then another wonderful thought hit my mind and convinced me. It stood so clear. If I dare not to write under my own name about my very own experiences, then I should not start a blog at all sharing my thoughts.

We all may have thoughts and dreams. We dare not to tell anybody about it. But at the moment we realise that there is nothing, and here I really mean nothing to be afraid of, life seems incredibly easy. And why not take the easy shortcut and experience more of the wonders world has to offer us?
Why should we use our precious time and energy thinking about what the rest of the world has to say, if we just could step forward on the path our inner heart find so safe and convenience to be on?
