Personal treasure, and Sunday thought

While driving back from Mom's house, I was mesmerized with the magic happening in the sky - the colors, the textures, the light was playing games with my senses. I wanted to feel it all and keep it all...like it were my own personal treasure.

I couldn't let the sensory explosion fade away to the rhythm of time. So, I preserved it. I parked the car on the curb, grabbed my camera, checked behind me if there was traffic coming, lucky that there was none- stood in the center of the road and made a profound click on the camera. And, below is my keepsake... my own personal treasure (barring the traffic signal ofcourse).

And, since another week is upon, I leave you with the following as you begin your fabulous week

Fighting against a sense of despair will only make it worse. Instead of letting despair feed on itself, do something positive and proactive to break the pattern.

When you become angry about being angry, that will only make your anger more destructive. The more intensely you feel your frustration, the more frustrated you will become.

The way out is to quickly and decisively break the pattern. Realize that the negative momentum is building and do something so completely unrelated that you knock it off track.

Don't make your negativity stronger by fighting against it. Instead, make it irrelevant and powerless by turning your attention and putting your energy in a radically different direction.

Be outrageously and unreasonably positive. Be funny and creative and ridiculous and joyful all at the same time.

Smile, laugh and be enthusiastic about life even when you have no reason to be. By breaking the negative pattern, you'll create many great reasons to smile.

Sunday Thought

Kartik and I spent most of yesterday and then some few hours in the evening today with Sana. I admit, I can't get enough of her!!! My lil munchkin :P

A new week is here, so I leave you with the following as you begin your fabulous, fun and fierce week:

From the same exact situation, two different people can achieve two remarkably different results. Why is that?

Because the results you achieve are not determined by the situation itself. The results you achieve are determined by what you choose to focus on.

If you focus on all the things that could go wrong, your mind will find a way to make those things really happen. But that's not what you want, is it?

Instead, give yourself an empowering focus. Lock your focus solidly on the positive possibilities.

Think in great detail about the good and valuable and desirable outcomes. Without question or hesitation, your mind will begin finding realistic, workable ways to make those good things happen.

Carefully and intentionally guide your focus to the best place you can imagine. And your focus will, in turn, take you there.

Much love and hugs!
