What is the real meaning of celebration?

At the outset, I sincerely thank Sherry who gave meaning to my small moments of happiness. She taught me to celebrate such moments of happiness that I have stopped doing long ago.

I don't celebrate my birthday, wedding anniversary and rare email notifications of payment received received from Paypal. Her blog post on 'celebrating' rekindled my desire to celebrate. I read it on the day when one of my internet marketing effort brought a sale.

While I never fail to wish my friends on their birthdays and wedding anniversaries, I don't wish myself on such annual occasions.

As she right said, we always have something to celebrate. As we grow old, nothing good or bad seems to matter to us. We take everything in our stride and move on.

Sherry's words that celebration is a form of gratitude made a lot of sense. By celebrating, we acknowledge our effort.

I quote Sherry below:
" celebrating is a form of prayer, a way of saying “Thank you, God” for the gifts we’ve been given".

Thank you Sherry. You are an angel.

How to measure the strength of your positive beliefs.

I have written a lot about removing some of the beliefs that would change your life for the better. I also firmly believe in this fundamental concept of law of universe.

Here are two of my articles on removing negativity that were published in Ezine Articles:

How to remove detrimental images from your mind?

5 Steps to Eliminate Negative Thinking

The latest blog post in this blog attarcted a couple of meaningful comments. In one of them, there was a mention about measuring the strength of changed beliefs. I never thought of this. Yes, we all can change our beliefs positively with the help of affirmations and other mind power tools.

Any new positive belief must be really strong to get the benefit out of it. So, how do we the strength of the new beliefs?

The comment said above contained a link to http://helpingusucceed.com/howitworks.php The website is selling a product that would help you to measure the strength of changed bellief.

You would be asked to answer a series of questions which would in turn reveal the strength of your new belief.

Hmmm... must be good and useful too.

The fundamental laws of Universe.

What is most surprising is, this blog on laws of universe receives the most visitors daily even though I have another blog on how to make money online which I believe is the ‘forever hot trend’ in most of the search engines.

If I start speaking about ‘laws on which this universe functions’, most listeners would throw banal questions but a few would listen as if deeply interested only to end the conversation with a look that would convey utter cynicism.

I don’t get angry or offended; after all, I too was like that long back. People readily believe scientific explanations or logical conclusions. For them, seeing is believing. They don’t realize that they are at the receiving end several times a day due to cosmic intervention which are not seen but only to be felt or realized.

I am very happy to share my little knowledge on a few fundamental laws of universe. I am a firm believer in these laws. Read them and see if they make sense to you. If they are, read it again and forward to those that you think would be benefited.

• Whatever has happened in your life (in mine too) could not have been better and nothing else could have happened. Even the minutest detail was thoughtfully and carefully planned so that every obscure detail mattered and contributed. “If only…..” has no place whatsoever.

Things happen in our life either to teach us a lesson or just to make us move on.

• Again, I touch upon the often repeated cliché, “If only had I left early…”, and “If only had I not encountered that person……” Every single situation in our life which we encounter is absolutely tailor made and precise to the purpose, even though they might look like it is detrimental to us at that time. Yes, it will surely defy our understanding.

• Whomsoever we meet or stumble onto is the right person in our life though we tend to feel the other way at the time of happening. It is the intention of God and it implies that no one comes into our life by chance. Everyone who is around us, anyone with whom we interact carries a specific task which may be either to teach us something or to make us contribute something that would be useful to someone whom we might not have known or met before. No one comes into our life by chance.
  

• There are no such bad moments in our life. A moment is a moment-we only add ‘good’ or ‘bad’ tag to it based on our level of spiritual development. What I mean to say is that ‘each moment in which something begins is the right moment’ and this applies to all of us irrespective of our social status, education, financial position and family background.

We meet someone, see or hear something only when are ready; so don’t you think it is exactly the right moment, not a second before and not a moment later?

Don’t we all know this great proverb?

” Not one single raindrop falls accidentally in the wrong place!”

The sound of silence!

Definitely we don’t like silence though we hear all the time, “I want silence”. This is a big lie without realizing it so. I too fall into this category.

In truth, we are all afraid of silence. Ever since we came out of the silence of womb, we are surrounded by noise, we feed on noise, we talk while eating, we work surrounded by cacophony, we listen to noise, we sleep with noise. We just can’t seem to survive without one noise or other but we, at times feel that it is too much noise out there.

Ok, we shut up ourselves in sound proof rooms for a brief period to really stay away from noise.

However, do we?

When the outer noise stops reaching our ears, we immediately start the inner noise engine by talking to self, thinking about our past, day dreaming about our future, imagining street fights, catastrophes and rehearsing what we would do bravely to encounter attempts of abuse, theft and so on and on…!

No! We don’t want silence! We can't endure the sound of silence!Till we die…

fear of change

Have you ever wondered about any of the following?

Why can’t I change?
How does change really happen?
Why is it so easy for some people to change and for me it’s so hard?
Why am I so afraid to change?

Many of us struggle with fear of change. Let Dr. Jennifer Howard be your guide toward making personal change.

Try to manifest your desires in this way.

Law of attraction and power of thoughts won't be effective if you are emotionally dry when practicing these laws of universe.

For example, when you are watching a horror movie, you feel the intense fear because of the sound effects, the darkness, the expression of fear in the actors' face, the color of the scenes etc.

In other words your lively envision seems almost real. The fear in you exists till you are in the movie theater. But when you com out, all the fear that seemed so real melt out and vanish. You realize that it was only a movie.

You do not believe it will happen to you, so you do not complete the second part of the [Law of Attraction] equation. (Abraham-Hicks)

Similarly, when you want something, in order to manifest it, you must fully believe in it coming to you. You should envision your mood when you have it in real. You should emotionally feel upbeat as if you are having it now like you were feeling all the emotions while watching the horror movie.

In short, your thoughts should match you desire.
Read it again and again. Remember this sentence when you catch yourself thinking negatively.
