The Awakened Phoenix

When my daughter, the older of my two, wed and left home, I felt a part of me gone. With a daughter and a son, I know what both mean, differently. When she was in her teens I felt as if she was my "physical extension" ! So when she left home to set up her own, I felt I lost a limb. Next time she came to stay with us, I was astonished how her priorities had changed. We too must've given the same shocks to our own parents ! When she said Amma, she meant her mother-in-law, not me! I felt she was always in a hurry to go back to her house and not stay with me for a few more days.  That was the first time, it dawned on me that I have to start practising detachment with attachment. Two years after my daughter’s marriage, my son left for higher studies to US. Having experienced a child's separation once, I was better equipped emotionally. I plunged head long into various classes held in the city starting from vedanta to healing to ikebana -  I just wa

1st Don’t let someone become a priority in your life, when you are just an option in their life. Relationships work best when they are balanced… 2nd Never explain yourself to anyone. Because the person who likes you doesn’t need it and the person who doesn’t like you won’t believe it… 3rd When you keep saying you are busy, then you are never free. When you keep saying you have no time, then you will never have time. When you keep saying that you will do it tomorrow, then your tomorrow will never come… 4th When we wake up in the morning, we have two simple choices. Go back to sleep and dream, or wake up and chase those dreams. Choice is yours… 5th We make them cry who care for us.    We cry for those who never care for us. And we care for those who will never cry for us. This is the truth of life, it’s strange but true. Once you realize this, it’s never too late to change… 6th Don’t make promises when you are in joy. Don’t reply when you are sad. Don’t take decision w

The Tables Turned ( By william wordsworth )  Up! Up! My Friend, and quit your books, Or surely you’ll grow double ; Up! Up! My Friend, and clear your looks ; Why all this toil and trouble ? The sun, above the mountain’s head, A freshening luster mellow                                               Through all the long green fields has spread, His first sweet evening yellow. Books! ‘tis a dull and endless strife: Come, hear the woodland linnet, How sweet his music! On my life, There’s more of wisdom in it. And hark! How blithe the throstle sings! He, too, is no mean preacher: Come forth into the light of things, Let Nature by your Teacher. She has a world of ready wealth, Our minds and hearts to bless Spontaneous wisdom breathed by health, Truth breathed by cheerfulness. One impulse from a vernal wood  May teach you more of man, Of moral evil and of good, Than all the sages can. Sweet is the lore which Nature brings; Our meddling intellect Misshapes the beauteous

Thought Vibration : The Law of Attraction in the Thought World  -William Walker Atkinson Chapter I. The Law of Attraction in the Thought World: The Universe is governed by Law—one great Law. Its manifestations are multiform, but viewed from the Ultimate there is but one Law. We are familiar with some of its manifestations, but are almost totally ignorant of certain others. Still we are learning a little more every day—the veil is being gradually lifted. We speak learnedly of the Law of Gravitation, but ignore that equally wonderful manifestation, The Law of Attraction in the Thought World. We are familiar with that wonderful manifestation of Law which draws and holds together the atoms of which matter is composed—we recognize the power of the law that attracts bodies to the earth, that holds the circling worlds in their places, but we close our eyes to the mighty law that draws to us the things we desire or fear, that makes or mars our lives. When we come to see that Thoug

Hello Friends, Welcome at ....SomeGoodTricks ! So... do you really want to know what is your biggest mistake ?   Guess what it may be : (1) To be lazy ? (2) To eat unnecessarily ? Or (3) To lie ? Yet these are also our big mistakes but there is another mistake probably we all do, is.... " Not believing in yourself and not taking any risk " In my opinion, this is the biggest mistake of our life and because of this, we always suffer with an unwanted work we have to do. If we believe in ourselves, we can take a risk and follow our dreams. Actually, I experienced that I didn't follow my dreams and didn't trust on my talents and did the job I don't like. As result, I failed. But then I knew the value of my skills, my dreams, my talents and started to explore them. I am still learning but enough confident to get my dreams fulfilled. Friends ! If we do what we like, at least we enjoy our work. " Life is not for getting things, life is fo
