 NEW YEAR NEW BEGINNING

 Its already 2016. The day has begun. There is excitement all around and there is a sense of hope and expectation too. All want to do good and be perfect. Some where we make a resolution inside us to do things in a consistent way and see amazing results. We all want to excel, grow and be fruitful and successful.

So what is it that will keep you encouraged and motivated not only today but will keep you motivated and encouraged till till the end of the year.

1. Make reasonable goals. This will motivate you to keep going as you will feel its possible and is yielding results. In the long run these will turn to become habits and will have a great impact over your life.
2. Make short term goals. This will help you to review and keep track of your journey towards your goal. Short term goals keep your excitement on. They also give you a moral boost that the goal is attainable. Even when something goes astray you have a fair chance to retry it and succeed.
3. Make goals that involve you alone. Because if your goal involves others your achievement is based on their response. You should be 100% sure that you are in control over your life alone and not over any other. So do make goals that involves you as they make the goal attainable. 
4. Above all as humans we all try hard to find recognition, acceptance and love in an unconditional manner. We know we do wrong but we want some one to be at our side always. Its the nature of man. And know that this is something which only God can fulfill. If you seek God in human being you will for sure end up disappointed. So this new year seek God. He will be the ever present help and friend.

As we are counting the hours to enter into the New Year what are the feelings that are going in you.

Are you anxious about how things will change or take turn in your personal life, office atmosphere or in the country?

Are you trying hard to jot down the New Year Resolutions even though you know in the depth of your heart that you are not going to fulfill it till the end of the year?

Are you busy organising the  party and get together to welcome the new year with fun and laughter?

No matter what after the few hours of joy and excitement you will be forced to face the day as a normal day. Everything will remain the same and life is going to continue the same. Thinking of this reality may just pushes aside all the fun and joy and depress the heart.

But in the midst of all the old stuff still you can choose to not worry and be happy in the new year. All it needs is a little effort from your side.

1. Stop thinking negative stuff. The mind is the key to emotions and feelings which in turn affect our behavior. So take all the effort to stop the negative thoughts and replace them with positive thoughts filled with hope. These thoughts bring in joy to the heart and motivates the self to persevere. 
2. Take a resolution not to sit in the place of self pity and lick the wounds. Self pity will never take you anywhere. It will hold you captive to your negative emotions and keep you tied to depression. So decide and be aware not to end up in Self Pity. 
3. Surround yourself with news and articles that brings hope and rings the sounds of motivation. Never keep reading depressing articles with negative reports not matter whether its politics, economy or climate. Keep reading stuff that helps you overcome these feelings. Read biographies and articles which speak of ways to overcome the difficult situations. 
4. Find people who have a positive look to life and are fun to be around with. It means a lot. They just change the climate around you and help you to overcome the feelings of failure but help you to bounce back with a never give up attitude. 

These are a few tips to start with. As we ring in the new year hope and imagine a year that is going to be the best and blessed one. 

Wish you a happy and blessed new year 2016.

Unity in diversity

Today I went to walk with my mum and we were talking about the people in our family. People who are related and we knew well and grew up with knowing them for years since my birth. We spoke how different each one of them were. They all had their own convictions in lots of areas which were offensive to others. All seemed to be so different that living together seems impossible.

But the fact is we cant alienate ourselves. We are created to live in a family and in fellowship with others. We live the best when we live in a community. But the point is we have to be clear who we are, what we believe in and be comfortable in our own skin. We also should know that we will  never be able to please all the people around us.

We need to challenge ourselves to love and be friend with people who are different from us. We should not get offended and move into the shell. All we need to is to tolerate and accept the fact that all people are different and wishing everyone to be like us is wrong.

Let us first examine ourselves. Get to know us. Accept and befriend others with love.

Overcome insecurities by facing them with courage.
