Be There for Others, but Never Leave Yourself Behind We all like to please people, but we cannot please everyone. Being a person of helpful nature , we tend to own other people’s problems. We tend to be fixers and doers. We are attracted to those that need help because of the accomplishment that we feel from helping others. This co-dependent behaviour is unhealthy, and often leads to our own unhappiness. Don’t stay in a relationship just because you feel guilty about leaving someone. Don’t stay at a job because you feel like they wouldn’t be able to survive without you. Don’t maintain an unhealthy friendship because you feel like they need you. Don’t do anything for anyone if you are sacrificing yourself in the process. You do not get happiness from helping others if you are hurting yourself in the process. It only results in resentment and suppressed emotions. This will eventually blow up into something worse than it would have been if you had just walked away when you should h...

What we do is of great consequence What we do is of much importance and valuable .In today’s world, practical aspects of life weigh more than the theoretical. Life is full of hazards and to overcome the obstacles of life, a person must strive to be practical and stop wasting precious time on unnecessary preaching. In other words, one must be man of action in order to succeed in life. Many great personalities of history have put into practice what their conscience told them to do and have acted according to their beliefs. They have not contemplated too much on how to reach their set goals. Precious time much be converted into moments of action for real success in life. Idle talk can lead one nowhere. On the contrary, life should be molded on the firm basis of action. It must be secondary to the practical aspects of life. In our dynamic world, success and happiness depend on action, not on theory or empty words.There is great saying” Action Speaks Louder Than Words”

Begin your Day with Mantra A  mantra  is usually any repeated word or phrase, but it can also refer more specifically to a word repeated in meditation.  Mantra  comes from a Sanskrit word meaning a “sacred message or text, charm, spell, counsel.” The Indian spiritual leader Sri Sathya Baba said, “A pure thought from a pure heart is better than a  mantra .” Meaning, a mantra is great and all, but really, pure intentions and genuine kindness mean more.A mantra is a motivating chant, like the “I think I can, I think I can” you repeat over and over to yourself on the last stretch of every marathon you run.

Undoubtedly travelling is a great teacher. According to Augustine, the world is a great book, of which they who never stir from home read only a page. It is a well established fact now that travelling gives a character to our knowledge. While travelling we have firsthand knowledge about the place we are travelling. We actually see the place with our own eyes, and its memory stays with us throughout our life. For example reading about Varanasi  may be entertaining and appealing, but visiting Varanasi in person will surely be thousand times more entertaining and gratifying Traveling is wonderful in many ways.  As we travel we meet more new people, cultures, and lifestyles. With all the newness in our life, we are also opened to new insights, outlook, perception of the world and living, which often gives us a new purpose for our lives.While travelling, we have to be prepared for unplanned emergencies and schedules. We have to make arrangements for our travelling, lodgi...

Present Time is the most important time We have done good or bad  but past is past, we never return in past , and future is always uncertain . Any one can not declare solidly about it  .So we have only present time in which we can do any thing and  we make correction of past and make some thing for future.

Yamaraja once asked Maharaja Yudhisthira, “What is the most wonderful thing within this world?” Maharaja Yudhisthira replied : ahany ahani bhutani gacchantiha yamalayam  sesah sthavaram icchanti kim ascaryam atah param  Hundreds and thousands of living entities meet death at every moment, but a foolish living being nonetheless thinks himself deathless and does not prepare for death. This is the most wonderful thing in this world. Everyone has to die because everyone is fully under the control of material nature, yet everyone thinks that he is independent, that whatever he likes he can do, that he will never meet death but live forever, and so on. So-called scientists are making various plans by which living entities in the future can live forever, but while they are thus pursuing such scientific knowledge, Yamaraja, in due course of time, will take them away from their business of so-called research.

Gandhi Jayanti Mahatma Gandhi  was a great leader in the real sense. He did not live for self; but spent his whole life for the good of his country and its people. He was a man of firm determination and strong will-power. Undeterred by any opposition or consequences, he pursued his mission single-handedly and was even followed by lakhs and lakhs of people afterwards. Affectionately called ‘Bapu’ by most of his countrymen, Gandhi was born on October 2, 1869 at Porbandar in Gujarat. His full name was Mohan Das Karam Chand Gandhi. During his school days, he was greatly influenced by the characters of King Harish Chandra and Shravan Bhakta. While his first model taught him to be truthful in life, the second ideal imparted him the lesson of being obedient to one’s parents. After passing his matriculation in 1887, he went to London to study law and returned to India in 1891. Though he started practice as a lawyer, he met with little success. The main obstacle was his decision ...
