To do more for society, enhance your personality!

All of us have something special in ourselves. Something that makes us unique and special. We all can do something for the society and all the people in general. But sometimes, we hesitate, we hold ourselves back, for no specific reason.

It could be, “I don’t have enough time to do these things.” or “What will people think of me?” or ” I don’t think I am good enough to help the society.”

BELIEVE ME…. ALL THESE REASONS ARE FALSE.

We all have something that we can do for the society. We all can take out some time out of our schedules and help the society.

Go to your local library or the schools or even old age homes or look for volunteer organizations serving in your community.

Before you do any of that, give up all BIASES and inhibitions that you have. BELIEVE that you are good, you are smart and what ever help you do for the society will be worth it. It will be appreciated.

If you are a shy person, give up your shyness. If you like to stay by yourselves, try meeting people from different backgrounds. If you don’t talk much, try to talk.

Try to UNLEARN whatever you have learned every single day. Just forget about yesterday. TODAY is a new day.

When you bring out the best in your personality…. it will be the gift that you give to OTHERS!!

Your smile… your happiness… your charisma… your positivity…. The WORLD needs it!!

Go out and live a life where people will smile more with you…. laugh with you and give your complete self to the world in general.

There are so many things we learn through networking with people…. We just have to give them our best selves!!

Just bring out the best in yourself and GIVE IT OUT!!!

Change your personality everyday… in a positive way…. Learn more…!! and more…. and more…..!!! and just keep sharing what you learn….!!

Here’s a simple but beautiful image I found online:

Tests of values

I heard something yesterday and was wondering how true is it? It said, “Every small act that you do is a reflection of your values and not necessarily an exertion of control”. I also saw a video about locus of control, ie. how some of us have an internal locus of control and take responsibility for our actions, successes and failures, while others have an external locus of control and tend to blame their failures on others or on fate.

Aren’t all these things pretty questionable? Most of us try to have good values like respect, honesty, trust and so on, but still do all our actions reflect those values at all times and if not then why?? What sometimes drives us towards actions that are not necessarily in sync with our values.

I think the only answer to this question is the evolving mind! Our minds are continuously evolving and even though our values may be constant but there are ripple effects ie. sometimes unknowingly or unintentionally we tend to move away from our values and at other times, we stick to them. The reason probably is growth.

Everyone wants to grow and everyone wants a lot of good things in life. If we don’t create these ripples of thoughts and actions, our life will be like standing water. These ripple effects create waves or motion and that circulates energy. That is why, we need to understand these ripples and in spite of them happening, constantly try to remain in sync with our values.

Values like being nice to people no matter what, values like being responsible and hard working, values like being selflessly devoted to God and the world. Values like giving your best self at all times…

I know it can be hard sometimes to stick to these values with everyone at all times but those are the tests we need to undergo. Tests of values!

Are u nice to people even when they are rude to u? Are u patient with kids? Do u lend a listening ear to everyone? Do u respect everyone no matter what stature or title they have?

and most importantly, do u do this at all times?

If not, then do u reflect on your own behavior sometimes and try to improve it, each minute, each day, everyday?

There can be a question now that – Why should we stick to our values at all times? Won’t that create standing water?

Well, imagine each ripple of thought in your mind and imagine it having a center from where it starts. That center is the value.

If we create ripples with good values, good actions will be inculcated. If we create ripples with bad values, bad actions will be inculcated.

Hence, it is truly important to constantly try and pass the test of values and be nice to everyone, no matter what. It’s hard but with patience, it is possible. 🙏

Let’s all try to create positive ripples in life and stick to the positive values, as much as we can!

Good luck to me and to you as we continue these tests in life! 😊

Journey….!

Every person has a different journey – different struggles, different milestones, different successes and different failures. Nobody can understand clearly another person’s life journey, no matter how hard they try. However, what’s really important is to empathize and appreciate that everyone, all of us, have been through tough times. Many people tend to complain that their journey was harder than others, they tend to give up and not have the will to try again. However, it’s extremely important or rather crucial to keep trying no matter what circumstances you face in life.

It’s important to believe in a future, in a life that will be close to perfect. It’s important to be thankful and positive at the same time. It’s important to believe in the power of light! Even if you are lost in the dark, you have to believe in the power of light!

No matter how many religious or spiritual books you read, you will always find one thing common, “Believe in yourself and do your karma”. Believe that you still have a lot to give to this world. Believe that you are unique, special and god’s hand is always on your head. There must be a reason why each one of us is inherently unique and that is because we all have some unique talents, a little something that makes us special, powerful and strong. It maybe music, art, craft or writing 🙂

Just let that light shine bright! I remember when I was a kid, I learned a song, “This little light of mine, I’m gonna make it shine”.

And I also believe in the quote from the Bhagavad Gita,

“Karmanye Vadhikaraste Ma Phaleshu Kadachana, Ma Karma Phala Hetur, Bhur Ma Te Sango Stv Akarmani”

Which means, “You have every right to work, but not expecting the fruits out of it. Let the focus be not on the fruits and never be inactive.”
