Stop looking at others.

Stop looking at others who:
Dress better than you
Drive a bigger car
Go out to dine more frequently
Travel abroad more than you
Has more material wealth than you

See, you look at the others who motivate and inspire you and draw your simple admiration but you stop wishing that you too live like them and stopping exactly at that point!

Why?

If you stop yourself at just the point of wishing, you end of being in a state of envy. And, there! You will never live to experience the same when you are in that state.

But, if you appreciate others' better and richer life, it is like saying to the Universe, "More of that please".

World's most effective spiritual connection.

Can you please answer these questions?
* Name 10 wealthiest people in the world
* Name 3 most beautiful faces in the world
* Name 5 most talented sportsmen in the world

Tough recalling their names-right? You might remember newspaper headlines that can help you to make your list of the persons but such headlines might not get etched in your memory for long.

Now, answer these questions:
* List 3 teachers that made strong impression on you and helped you achieve academic excellence
* Name 10 of your best friends who stood by you in difficult times
* Name 5 people who helped you realize your potential

Ah, there you are! You took less than 5 minutes to write their names down-right?

How did you manage to remember them? You appreciated them when they played their part in your life and you retain sincere gratitude to them. They might not have been big names or celebrities but they cared for you.

Now, don't you think it is your turn to be of some use to someone you care? Your role should be such that they should feel being appreciated.

The metal state of appreciation and gratitude is the most profound emotion and that is also the closest connection to the creator.

When you appreciate someone or something, you are in very positive state, cutting off all the negativity like complaints, focusing on lack of money and contemplating unexpected outcome of a meeting etc.

And here is the most important outcome of your appreciation. When you frankly and shamelessly appreciate even a small gesture of kindness to you, a natural scenery, a wonderful on screen performance, a delicious meal, it is like saying to the Universe, "More of that please".

And Universe will give you just that-events, places, people, material that you have openly appreciated so that you will continue to appreciate.

Got it all?

Exploring the laws of universe.

It has been a long time since I indulged on thinking aloud on the laws of universe in this blog though, I have been very sincerely trying to follow them. I must confess that it has not been easy always to follow that I vowed to practice. After all, 50 years of non-practice of these universal laws has accumulated a lot of residue in my system that I have been trying to dissolve.

The very first law that is the most perfect match to the vibration of our creator is the law of appreciation aka law of gratitude.

Even for every small things that happen in our day to day life, there are reasons to appreciate and thus feel gratitude for. The more we appreciate it means saying to the universe 'More of it please'.
I liked this explanation written in the book "Ask and it is given" by Esther and Jerry Hicks.

Actually, this explanation is straight from the mouth of Abraham, an ascended master, who spoke through Esther.

The power of appreciation or the power of gratitude makes you feel good. And when you feel good, you have no resistance. The negative feelings like anger, depression, worry and fear do not find a place in you when you are appreciating something.

As you keep your vibration at this higher level, the law of attraction as one of the laws of universe will bring you face to face with more of the things for you to appreciate thus keeping your mood in good feelings.

The law of attraction will conspire for you to move people in your directions that will bring cheer to you; will produce events in your life that will make you happy.

So, by simply practicing the law of appreciation, the universe will ensure that you are always in joyful mood.
