નમસ્કાર મિત્રો...!!! કોરોના વાયરસ ને લીધે ભારત સરકારે ૨૧ દિવસ નું લોકડાઉન જાહેર કર્યું છે. મહામારી વિષે વધુ નય લખું પરંતુ, મારી સામે રેહતા એક પરિવાર નાં દિન ચર્યા ની વાત કહીશ. હું ગુજરાત સરકારમાં નોકરી કરું છું. હાલ અમારી તાલીમ સચિવાલય ખાતે હોવાથી છેલ્લા ૮ મહિના થી ગાંધીનગર ભાડા નાં મકાન માં રહું છું. ઘર ની બહાર કોમન પ્લોટ છે. પ્લોટ માં આજુ બાજુ નાં રહીસો એ  જાડ અને ફૂલછોડ ઊગાડી સુંદર નાનાં એવા બગીચા બનાવ્યા છે. સાથે પશુ પંખીઓ માટે પાણી નાં કુંડ પણ રાખ્યા છે. ભાત ભાત નાં પક્ષિયો આવે, ખિસકોલી આવે, ગાય, કુતરા પણ આવે. નઝારો એકદમ રળિયામણો લાગે. આટલી શાંતિ ની ટેવ નહિ એટલે ઘણી વખત ગમે પણ નહી. આજે લોકડાઉન નો બીજો દિવસ છે. કઈ કામ હાલ નાં હોવાથી આમ તો હું મોડો ઉઠું છું. પરંતુ દૂધ ની દુકાનો વેહલી સવાર થી થોડા ટાઈમ માટે જ ખુલી રેહવાની હોવાથી, આજે દૂધ લેવા જવા માટે વેહલો ઉઠ્યો, આશરે ૬:૩૦ એ. ઘર ની સામે નાં બગીચા માં કબુતર ને ચણ નાખી ને દૂધ લઇ આવ્યો. આવી ને ફ્રેશ થઈ ને, નાસ્તો કરી ને, મારી પુસ્તક લઇ બાલકનીમાં ખુરશી રાખી વાંચવા બેસી ગયો. ઘર ની સામે એક ત્રણ માળ નું ઘર છે. વસ્તારી પરિવાર ...

Elephants are powerful animals, able to lift logs with their trunks and knock trees over using their heads. You might think it strange then to find that elephants are usually kept tethered by their handlers with a length of rope or small chain that they could easily break. This IS because they have been conditioned. This is accomplished by trainers through the use of a heavy metal chain to tether the elephants while they are still young. The elephants learn during their development that they cannot break the bonds and they associate them with their limits, boundaries and freedoms. Later, when they are fully grown and are of adult size and strength, they still believe they cannot break that bond and so, they never really try. From then on, only a rope is necessary to keep them from breaking their bonds, freeing themselves and realizing their true strength. You do realize I am not really talking about elephants at all don't you? Moral of the story:   No matter how ...

The Law of Attraction is just part of one of the 7 natural laws of the Universe: the Law of Vibration. Of the 7 Laws, it may be the most important in how our everyday lives play out, but all of the laws are in effect whether we are aware of them or not. Knowing what the 7 laws are and how they work can make a significant difference in applying them to create the life you truly desire. The 7 natural laws are in no particular order, but since the Law of Attraction has been discussed so much in The Secret, we’ll start with it: The Law of Vibration states that everything vibrates and nothing rests. Vibrations of the same frequency resonate with each other, so like attracts like energy. Everything is energy, including your thoughts. Consistently focusing on a particular thought or idea attracts its vibration match. How to apply it: Focus on what you want instead of what you don’t want. The Law of Relativity states that nothing is what it is until you relate it to something....

Loved this: Back in the days when Germany was divided, a huge wall separated East and West Berlin. One day, some people in East Berlin took a truck load of garbage and dumped it on the West Berlin side. The people of West Berlin could have done the same thing, but they didn't. Instead they took a truck load of canned goods, bread, milk and other provisions, and neatly stacked it on the East Berlin side. On top of this stack they placed the sign:  “EACH GIVES WHAT HE HAS" How very true! You can only give what you have. What do you have inside of you? Is it hate or love? Violence or peace? Death or life? capacity to build or capacity to destroy? What have you acquired over the years? " EACH GIVES WHAT HE HAS " Think about it!

✒SOMEONE HAS WRITTEN THESE 10 BEAUTIFUL LINES. READ and TRY  to UNDERSTAND the DEEPER MEANING of THEM. 1). PRAYER is not a "spare wheel" that YOU PULL OUT when IN trouble, but it is a "STEERING WHEEL" that DIRECT the RIGHT PATH THROUGHOUT LIFE. 2). Why is a CAR'S WINDSHIELD so LARGE & the REAR VIEW MIRROR so small? BECAUSE our PAST is NOT as IMPORTANT as OUR FUTURE. So, LOOK AHEAD and MOVE ON. 3). FRIENDSHIP is like a BOOK. It takes a FEW SECONDS to BURN, but it TAKES YEARS to WRITE. 4). All THINGS in LIFE are TEMPORARY. If they are GOING WELL, ENJOY them, they WILL NOT LAST FOREVER. If they are going wrong, don't WORRY, THEY CAN'T LAST LONG EITHER. 5). Old FRIENDS are GOLD! NEW friends are DIAMONDS! If you GET a DIAMOND, DON'T FORGET the GOLD! To HOLD a DIAMOND, you ALWAYS NEED a BASE of GOLD! 6). Often when WE LOSE HOPE and THINK this is the END, GOD SMILES from ABOVE and SAYS, "RELAX, SWEETHEART; it's JUST a BEND, NOT THE...

New York is 3 hrs ahead of California but it does not mean that California is slow, or that New York is fast. Both are  working based on their own "Time Zone." Someone is still single. Someone got married and 'waited' 10 yrs before having a child, there is another who had a baby within a year of marriage. Someone graduated at the age of 22, yet waited 5 years before securing a good job; and there is another who graduated at 27 and secured employment immediately! Someone became CEO at 25 and died at 50 while another became a CEO at 50 and lived to 90 years. Everyone works based on their 'Time Zone', People can have things worked out only according to their pace. Work in your “time zone”. Your Colleagues, friends, younger ones might "seem" to go ahead of you. Maybe some might "seem" behind you. Don't envy them or mock them, it's their 'Time Zone.' You are in yours! Hold on, be strong, and stay true to you...

A 6 yr old boy was in the market with his 4 yr old sister. Suddenly the boy found that his sister was lagging behind. He stopped and looked back. His sister was standing in front of a toy shop and was watching something with great interest. The boy went back to her and asked, “Do you want something?” The sister pointed at the doll. The boy held her hand and like a responsible elder brother, gave that doll to her. The sister was very very happy… The shopkeeper was watching everything and getting amused to see the matured behavior of the boy… Now the boy came to the counter and asked the shopkeeper, “What is the cost of this doll, Sir? !” The shopkeeper was a cool man and had experienced the odds of life. So he asked the boy with a lot of love & affection, “Well, What can you pay?” The boy took out all the shells that he had collected from sea shore, from his pocket and gave them to the shopkeeper. The shopkeeper took the shells and started counting as if he were counting ...

When I got enough confidence, the stage was gone…..  When I was sure of Losing, I won …….  When I needed People the most, they Left me…….  When I learnt to dry my Tears, I found a shoulder to Cry on……  When I mastered the Skill of Hating, Someone started Loving me from the core of the Heart…… And, while waiting for Light for Hours when I fell asleep, the Sun came out….. That s LIFE!!   No matter what you Plan, you never know what Life has Planned for you……  Success introduces you to the World……. But Failure introduces the World to you……. …… Always be Happy!!  Often when we lose Hope and think this is the end…  God smiles from above and says, Relax Sweetheart; It s just a Bend, not the End..!! 😊

A true story from the Reader’s Digest .. . I was having a great morning until I sat down in front of my office computer. “your password has expired”, a server message flashed on my screen, with instructions for changing it...In my company we have to change password monthly.. I was deeply depressed after my recent divorce. Disbelief over what she had done to me was what I thought all day. I remembered a tip I’d heard from my former boss. He’d said, “I’m going to use a password that is going to change my life”. I couldn’t focus on getting things done in my current mood.. My password reminded me that I shouldn’t let myself be a victim of my recent breakup and that I was strong enough to do something about it. I made my password – Forgive@her . I had to type this password several times every day, each time my computer would lock. Each time I came back from lunch I wrote forgive her. The simple action changed the way I looked at my ex-wife.. That constant reminder of reconciliation ...

One day a professor entered the classroom and asked his students to prepare for a surprise test. They waited anxiously at their desks for the test to begin. The professor handed out the question paper, with the text facing down as usual. Once he handed them all out, he asked his students to turn the page and begin. To everyone’s surprise, there were no questions….just a black dot in the center of the page. The professor seeing the expression on everyone’s face, told them the following: “I want you to write what you see there.” The students confused, got started on the inexplicable task. At the end of the class, the professor took all the answer papers and started reading each one of them aloud in front of all the students. All of them with no exceptions, described the black dot, trying to explain its position in the middle of the sheet, etc. etc. etc. After all had been read, the classroom silent, the professor began to explain: “I am not going to grade on you this, I...
