"Man is free at the moment he wishes to be." ~Voltaire

Clobber your brain with good, happy, positive, enriching, creative thoughts…and make happiness your way…

No matter what time of the day it is and someone asks me, “How are you doing?” my response is, “I am feeling wonderful.” Having this kind of thought over the years has made it into a reality…

Yes it is all true. I have lived it and experienced it and now I am in a position to talk about it.

Once I had made a decision that I was going to be happy, every thought and action was determined. I surrounded myself with people who had a positive outlook, who were progressive, who looked inwards and were not focused on the external world of greed and power, those who stayed away from complaining and whining, and those who spent their time wisely and creatively, instead of spending time in activities which makes one feel restless at the end of the day.

“When the student is ready, the Teacher appears.”

I was ripe for knowledge, enlightenment and progress, and I was ready to grasp opportunities to make leaps in the world of wisdom. The Universe made sure that I had all the opportunities knocking on my door. One after the other, I kept opening the doors and the right people, the right knowledge and the right opportunities kept making me their friends. I became aware that there really were no secrets to a good life. We all know all of these all along; we just keep them at the very back of our minds, gathering dust.

First look at what occupies your mind space most of the time? That will tell you where you are heading in your life.

Look at the top 3 people you really spend your time with, whether it is through meeting, or writing, or communicating in some form – those are the people you are most likely to follow, you are most likely to emulate, you are most likely to become. You cannot change others, but you can certainly change who you associate with. Whoever you want to become, find them and start acting like them…for you are acting like the ones you are with most of the time!

Look at your activities through the day one at a time, and ask yourself how that activity makes you progress, makes you productive, makes you think in a positive, peaceful and joyful way. You will know why your day is happy, sad, disappointing, frustrating or enlightening.

Observe your thoughts and analyze what they are most of the time, and you will know if you are surrounding yourself with the right, people, the right activities and the right actions. There is no mystery here.

Choose what you put in your thoughts regularly. Clean it regularly, and replace the ones you throw out with the constructive and happy ones daily. Then nourish such thoughts with action – meditating, reading, writing, and praying, with love and with gratitude.

No matter what is going on in your life, if you decide to give positive energy to others, the Universe will return it back to you in multiple folds. It is the absolute truth. Set yourself apart from the crowd and start living a joyful life, for it is in your hands, in your mind.

The mind is yours – what are you doing about it?

Get your mind away from “lack” of any kind. Shift your perspectives. If you pay attention the fact that there is a reason, most of the time unknown to us, behind every thing that happens in life, and take the bigger aspect of it, make something good out of it no matter what it is, learn from the experience, listen to the Universe trying to tell you about it, and seek the answers by going inwards, and then taking the Higher action – gradually all will fall into place. It does. Have the patience. Time is everything. You put in the right ingredients into your life and allow time to change your story.
