When it is wise to lose your ego?

We read so many interesting things daily (not you?) but all are not thought provoking instantly. However, when it does, it remains etched in our memory for ever. Can you think of something like that now?

Today, I read this following:
WHY WE HAVE SO MANY TEMPLES, IF GOD IS EVERYWHERE ?
A WISE MAN SAID: AIR IS EVERYWHERE, BUT WE STILL NEED A FAN TO FEEL IT.

Here is one more:
IT’S BETTER TO LOSE YOUR EGO TO THE ONE YOU LOVE. THAN TO LOSE THE ONE YOU LOVE....... BECAUSE OF EGO.

What is a negative emotion?

When someone is doing something or about to do something, in a way I don't want it to be done - and I m not able to accept it - I become angry.
When someone is doing something or about to do something, in a way I don't want it to be done - and I'm able to accept it - I remain tolerant.

When someone is having something or someone is able to produce the results which I m not able to produce - and I'm not able to accept it - I become jealous.
When someone is having something or someone is able to produce the results which I'm not able to produce - and I'm able to accept it - I get inspired.

When I'm encountering uncertainty or is about to encounter uncertainty, which I'm not sure how I'm going to handle - and I'm not able to accept it - it causes fear in me.
When I'm encountering uncertainty or is about to encounter uncertainty, which I'm not sure how I'm going to handle - and I'm able to accept it - I feel adventurous about it.

When someone has done something that has emotionally hurt me - and I'm not able to accept it - it develops hatred in me.
When someone has done something that has emotionally hurt me - and I'm able to accept it - it helps me forgive them.

When someone is present in my thoughts, but is not physically present - and I'm not able to accept it - I say I'm missing u.
When someone is present in my thoughts, but is not physically present - and I'm able to accept it - I say I'm thinking of u.

Thus, Emotional Equation becomes:
Something + Acceptance = Positive emotion
Something + Non-Acceptance = Negative emotion

So, it is not something or someone who is making me feel positive or negative, but its my acceptance or non-acceptance of something or someone, which impacts things...

Think About It..

How to experience new pleasures in life?

How to experience new pleasures in life?

Simply by wanting new pleasures!

Not a single human being will be disinterested in experiencing new things in life like a visit to new and beautiful place, a meeting with a man/woman that would bring fresh meanings to life, a new kind of food or drink and what not.

Let your imaginations loose and list out what could make you happy if you are offered something that is very different from your present living style.

Now, how do you get all that are in your list of desires?
We are all often offered new pleasures but we reject them at the initial stages itself without realizing we are at the staring point of the road to new pleasures.

It happens like this:
* Suddenly we receive a telephone call from a stranger-we cut him off as wrong number.
* We witness an accident on road or rail. Our presence is needed there to help victims-we escape in fear.
* Our car breaks down while traveling long distance. We may have to spend the night on road-we somehow hitchhike to safety.

There are myriad instances when we are subjected to something new-all of them are first steps to lead us to new experiences but we reject all of them.

We simply don't allow us from being different but still dream for different life experiences. We just don't allow the possibilities of new pleasures to enter our life.

Do you get it all?

So, what should you do?

Say this to yourself: “Let me be different today” and accept all the different moments, strange meetings, new food on that day.

How to attract a better future?

When I expressed my shock at the rumor about 2012, I was branded as a non-believer.

When I refused to see the movie Avatar, I was considered a snob.

When I became a fan of Joe Vitale and Dr.Wayne Dyer, people dumped Harry Potter books on me.

I didn't care for all the rebukes. If they dare and care to see a world of peace, prosperity and happiness, I tell them to at least read the blog of Joe Vitale once.

I just read his latest blog post titled,"How to attract a better future".

http://blog.mrfire.com/how-to-attract-a-better-future/

I reproduce a few points from it.

* The United States explodes out of the current recession by harnessing several new technologies

* We anticipate a price of $1.90 per gallon of gas

He is encouraging us to visualize such positive happenings only instead of becoming a fan of doomsday predictors.

Just a thought away from being wealthy.

So, after reading articles on law of attraction of money, you have started thinking about wealth but still don’t get out of the hand-to-mouth rut-right?

What have you done wrong? Why the financial situation doesn’t improve at all?
I can reason out but correct me if I am wrong.
1. You try to push things to make it happen as per schedule
2. You are thinking about prosperity but at the same time you are focusing on why it has not come.
3. You sincerely don’t believe that money can be attracted
4. You have not acted on new opportunities because you were afraid

As Laurie Brenner said, “it takes the combination of three things to bring wealth in your life: thought, feeling, and action.” But you only thought and neglected on the other two components.Think back and you will realize what I am saying.

Another beautiful point of my friend Laurie is “wealth is a relative thing and you need to find a way to feel wealthy, right now in order by comparing with people who don’t have anything that you do have and that includes a decent meal a day and shelter at least in the night.

A nice example is cited by Laurie here:
There are roughly 350 million Americans in the United States. Equal number of people in India out of 1 billion population, are very poor, living on the streets. When compared to them, if you live in America, have a job, a house, a car-you're wealthy!

Now, tell me, are you wealthy? If you say yes and don’t change your mind, you will become wealthier. This is the law of Universe.

Shutting off the negative voice.

If you take time to read some of the articles published in Ezine Articles on "Positive Attitude", you will understand why Ezine Articles is such a great website that publishes only top quality articles.

I am really proud to say that 7 of my articles are published in Ezine Articles. I wrote on affirmations, positive attitude and spirituality subjects.

Have you ever realized that we write off our own doom by our negative voice which is so unnatural to our real self? It is very important to shut out tightly the persistent negative contemplation on almost everything.
