Time and again this happens.
Whenever someone commits su***de, we immediately start playing the blame game.
We target people, groups, situations, circumstances who could be the possible reasons for that person to have taken such a drastic step.
Someone takes his/her own life and immediately the near & dear ones , or in case of a celebrity...the mass following , the fans ...in their grief , frustration, anger, look for a possible reason outside.
Yes, I do agree that this world does become cruel at times. There are people all around who take pleasure in demeaning others.
There are insecure people around for whom the only means of success is by pulling down the one moving ahead.
Unfortunately human beings have become negatively competitive.

It is not possible for us to change what is happening outside of us.

For example, imagine you have a very urgent/ unavoidable meeting to attend and there is heavy rainfall outside with water clogging in some areas.
We can't stop the storm, we can't control the lashing rains, what we do in such situation is to protect ourselves by staying indoors or if unavoidable ... we carry a shield in the form of umbrella, raincoat, gumboots.

Similarly, what happens externally, how others treat you, whether you got your dream job or not, whether you got the love of your life or not and many such situations..….. is beyond our control.
BUT….what we can certainly control is our MIND. Our thoughts, our perception, our faulty expectations of self and others...tend to make us miserable.
What we are, and what we THINK we are..
What the reality is, and what we THINK the reality is..
What and how we perceive the situation, and how the situation actually is..
More often than not, there are distortions. The conflict between our thoughts & reality leads to lot of conflict.
This manifests itself in many different ways- depression, anxiety, panic attacks, suicidal thoughts to name a few.
Rather than looking externally, let us first look inwards and make our minds strong.

We all can have absolute control over our mind..thoughts that lead to emotions which in turn make us behave as we do.
Those of us who are more vulnerable, need to learn these techniques.
I strongly believe, that these skills ought to be taught during early stages of life. Unfortunately, in our education system, there is no place for this.

We leave no stones unturned to make our body strong by feeding it with nourishing food, going to gyms,and fitness centres to get the perfect body.
What stops us from seeking professional help to strengthen our minds?

For those who want help & wish to learn the techniques of Rational Thinking & Behaviour can contact me.

Every emotion we feel is essentially just unreleased or unused energy, so we have to learn how to use our energy in the most efficient way.

Parents who have feelings of security and self confidence are likely to transfer the self-esteem principles to their kids.

Anxious about Board Results?

Its that time of the year.....Results are at bay.Parents, teachers, friends and everyone else are stressing about the same.
This brings about anxiety.
Are you troubled with thoughts like
" How will I fare in exams?"
" Will I be not as good as my friends? "
"Will my parents be happy with my performance?"
"What will I do next?"
" Will I get the subjects of my choice?"

Do not worry - such thoughts are normal. Most of the students experience this while awaiting results.

Here are a few tips to maintain calm & relaxation:-
- Make realistic and flexible plans. Remember marks are also based on what you could memorise and write during the exam.
- Do not depress if you didn't get the desired marks.
- Consider your interests & Personality also, while planning for future subjects/colleges.
- If your anxiety levels are high- do some relaxation exercises.

Parents please make sure not to pressurise your child with your expectations.
Your child may decide to choose a stream that is different from your preference.
Show unconditional support towards your child's capabilities and aptitude.
If possible, get psychometric assessment done by a trained psychologist.
Be a good support system for your child at this time.

ALL THE BEST !

Received this post, simply loved it.
Hence sharing..

In an ancient temple, a number of pigeons lived happily on roof top.

When the renovation of the temple began for the annual temple feast the pigeons relocated themselves to a Church nearby.

The existing pigeons in the Church accommodated the new comers very well.

Christmas was nearing and the Church was given a facelift, All the pigeons had to move out and look for another place.

They were fortunate to find a place in a Mosque nearby, The pigeons in the Mosque welcomed them happily.

It was Ramadan time and the Mosque was repainted, All the pigeons now came to the same ancient temple.

One day the pigeons on top found some communal clashes below in a market square.

The baby pigeon asked the mother pigeon
"Who are these people ?

The mother replied; they are "Human beings".

The baby asked,
But why are they fighting with each other...?

The mother said "These human beings going to temple are called 'Hindus' and the people going to Church are called 'Christians' and the people going to Mosque are called 'Muslims'.

The Baby pigeon asked, "Why is it so? When we were in the Temple we were called Pigeons, when we were in the church we were called Pigeons and when we were in the Mosque, we were called Pigeons. Similarly they should be called just
'Human beings' wherever they go"?

The mother Pigeon said,
'You and me and our Pigeon friends have experienced God and that's why we are living here in a highly elevated place peacefully.

These people are yet to experience God.

Hence they are living below us and fighting and killing each other.

Don't Just Read this Message,
UNDERSTAND IT AND LIVE LIKE THE PIGEONS.... TOGETHER....

Every day, a small 🐜 Ant arrives at work very early and starts work immediately.

🐜 She produces a lot and she was happy.

The Chief, 🐯 a Tiger, was surprised to see that 🐜 the Ant was working without supervision.

🐯 He thought if the 🐜 Ant can produce so much without supervision, wouldn’t she produce even more if she had a supervisor!

So 🐯 he recruited a 🐝 Bee who had extensive experience as 👷 supervisor and who was famous for 📝 writing excellent reports.

The 🐝 Bee’s first decision was to set up a 🔔 clocking in attendance system.

🐝 He also needed a secretary to help him write and type his reports and he recruited a 🐇Rabbit , who managed the archives and monitored ☎ all phone calls.

🐯 The Tiger was delighted with the 🐝 Bee's reports and asked him to produce 📊 graphs to describe production rates and to analyse 📉 trends, so that he could use them for 📁 presentations at Board‘s meetings.

So the 🐝 Bee had to buy a 💻 new computer and a Laser printer and recruited a 🐈 Cat to manage the 🌐 IT department.

The🐜 Ant, who had once been so productive and relaxed, hated this new plethora of paperwork and meetings which used up most of her time…!

🐯 The Tiger came to the conclusion that it was high time to nominate a person in charge of the department where the 🐜 Ant worked.

The position was given to the 🐒 Monkey, whose first decision was to buy an Air Conditioner and an ergonomic 💺 chair for his office.

The new person in charge, 🐒 the Monkey, also needed a 💻 computer and a personal assistant , who he brought from his previous department, to help him prepare a 📑 Work and 📃 'Budget Control Strategic Optimisation Plan' …

The Department where the 🐜 Ant works is now a sad place, where nobody laughs anymore and everybody has become upset...

It was at that time that the 🐝 Bee convinced the boss, 🐯 the Tiger; of the absolute necessity to start a climatic study of the environment .

Having reviewed the charges for running the 🐜 Ant’s department , the 🐯 Tiger found out that the Production was much less than before.

So he recruited the 🐤 Owl, a prestigious and renowned consultant to carry out an audit and suggest solutions.

🐤 The Owl spent three months in the department and came up with an enormous report, in several volumes, that concluded...

“ The Department is overstaffed ...”

Guess who the 🐯 Tiger fires first?

Of course, 🐜 the Ant.........,

"....because she showed lack of motivation and had a negative attitude. "

"The Characters in this fable are fictitious; any resemblance to real people or facts within the Corporation is pure coincidence only…" i am just sharing... I am not the Author.

Long ago I heard a story about 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 angel ' please ask God when my suffering will come to an end?' Angel said " sure, I will and bid a good bye to bird. Angel reached God's place and shared the message of bird to Him. Angel told Him how pathetic the condition of bird is and inquired when the suffering of the bird will going to end? God replied ' for the next seven life times the bird has to suffer like this, no happiness till then'. Angel said when bird will hear 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 the message of God to the bird. After seven days the Angel was passing again from the same path and saw that 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 told there is no happiness for the bird for next seven life times, 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 life time but because the bird was reciting the mantra' Thank you God for everything' in every situation. When 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 life times karma 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, 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 thank God rest of my body is completely fine and healthy and i used to feel headache does not used to bother me. In the same manner i started using this mantra in my relationship, finance, love life, social life, business, friends, maids, colleagues and everything with which I can relate. I shared this story with my spouse and children too 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 is the power of gratitude is. It can reshape our life.
