Mundane to purposeful

JSK..good morning,

Every day when you go through the same routine...you sleep and get up. But next time take a moment to check what are you thinking in these moments. Do you get up saying, "oh another morning, I have to go to work".

We often waste our energy by thinking about how our boss is not good, work is boring, or a coworker is annoying. Still you get up and go to work anyway. We know all of this but still "drag" on with our life everyday.

Why do you go to work? Mostly we work to earn money... and you earn money to buy things...things that will give you happiness. We often forget that things only give happiness for a short amount of time. We all know that after some time new clothes, car, games, or a house the joy/happiness feeling eventually fades away.

So next time you get up in the morning, try thinking that you can be happy about going to work. Until now you were going to work to bring money, happiness, etc. but now think about how you are going for a different purpose. Focus on the values you cherish like love, happiness and peace. Think of how you are going to meet so many people in the course of the day will get the opportunity to have an exchange of this energy and to share this beautiful energy. Shift your entire purpose.

Its is very important to have these thoughts in the morning, so your whole day goes easily. Just delete those thoughts of "have to" and replace them with "want to".


Be happy and enjoy your work.

Take care
Love ya

One thought away

JSK...good morning,

A husband & wife, boyfriend & girlfriend, father & daughter, mother & son, friends, uncles, aunts, grandparents, cousins....are all strong all relationships but like any relationship are only as strong as the level of communication. The way we talk to one another builds our relationship, can make it stronger yet that one minute we are off, may cause everything to slowly fall apart.

Everyone talks about how good or effective communication is very important, but do we really practice good communication all the time. But what really is effective communication? I believe it starts with actually hearing what the other person has to say from their perspective. For example, in an argument, one should try and understand what the other person is saying why they believe what they are saying is right before saying something in response.

There should never be a breakdown in communication. Generally in families after an argument or discussion or fight people stop talking even if it is a very small matter.
Some don't talk for hours, some days and some years. However, the ironic part is each one is waiting for the other to speak first.. as both of them think that other person is wrong and they both keep waiting.

Harmony in Hindi har is defeat and mani is mine, my defeat. So next time even if you had a big argument remember its fine. Nothing wrong in that and sometimes necessary for one to express their feelings. But if you want to build a beautiful relationship please be the first one to speak for at the other end he or she is anxiously waiting and to to start a beautiful communication, its only one thought away.

Take care
Love ya
