Be happy

JSK...good morning,

We all love money, spend our all our lifetime to earn it, grow it, and collect it.
We get up early to go to work, come home late at night(because we had to do some overtime). Its a very normal routine for almost everyone, but in this everyday routine of earning money, we often forget why we are doing this. Is it for children, good education, nice home,vacation........?

We all are doing this only to be happy and by the end of a hard day of work we earned it. So no matter what happens all day...when you come home today...smile the biggest smile (like Julia Robbert) you can...take that moment to enjoy and be happy!

Take care
Love ya

Worries

JSK..good morning,

When we get up in the morning, we are so charged, ready to start the day. However, throughout the day, how we use our mental energy is in our hands and and triggered by our thoughts. However, many of our thoughts are consumed by some kind of worry. We don't even know if what we are worrying about is going to happen or not. Then, by the end of the day without doing anything we are so depleted and heavy.

Worrying destroys our creativity of our consciousness. For once we start worrying, it is such a powerful thought its like termite that slowly eats away at us. Our mind starts racing and constantly thinking about something new and becomes almost impossible to stop once it starts.

Worrying about little things is the greatest misuse of our mental energy. Stress, anger, hurt, worries are all things we think about. These are natural we all have and they are part of our life. We have to worry for our kids, family. Sometimes it is our worries that becomes our strength since worrying about someone or something shows that we care. Typically, what we do when we worry? We create a scene...a picture of a future which is not even there. It just disconnects us from our PRESENT.

Worrying is the most easiest way of avoiding the present, because the present always seems very challenging. We forget everything is now...peace is now...happiness is now...love is now. We don't want to face reality now but worrying doesn't help. Try to create stability in your mind..your energy is very precious. THINK again next time you start worrying about little things....is it worth of your time?

Be present in the present moment, smile and be happy now

Take care
Love ya

Glass

JSK...good morning,
I read something very interesting this morning,
So, you are holding a glass of water. Just imagine if you have to hold it for whole day. What will happen? Your hand will get tired, your fingers will get stiff, etc. Same way if you are holding your stress the whole day, what will happen? You become irritatable, angry,etc.
So in the office every now and then pour that water out from your glass and when you are with your family make a habit of leaving that glass outside your home.

Enjoy your day.

love

Witness

JSK...good morning

When someone reacts negatively to you, you wonder why people do this to you and we blame others. For we always think we are right, we always say "what’s their problem"? When others see us how we react to any situation they will react accordingly. We may be the one who are causing them to react that way but we always tend we blame others.

I learned a very interesting way to see this. Witness yourself everyday, at least for an hour and then keep increasing the time increment. Talk out loud and be a witness to yourself. Notice how you are sitting in a chair and ask yourself, do you like the way you are sitting? If not straighten yourself up. While eating, do you like what’s on your plate? When you are speaking, do you like the tone of your voice? Is it a tone that we don't like when someone else is talking to us? If you start witnessing yourself you will see, that what your actions or words don't necessarily match up with what you THINK or FEEL.

So just see yourself from your very own eyes and be your own witness. Life is just like a movie. You are directing every second and all takes are final, no retakes.
Witness yourself and then check yourself. If the shot is ok, then say "CUT"!

As always... love you guys..

Time Management

JSK... good morning,

We always talk about time management and how we have to be better about managing our time properly. At home, parents have work to do and also have to help kids with their homework and activities. At work, projects have to be completed in time and you make your entire day planned hour by hour. Just think what happens if you are even a little disturb about something? What happens the next minute? Do you still follow your time schedule? Things just go hay wire and you run behind on your "hour by hour plan" and so you try to crunch that time in your next hour.

So what is time management? Things will run smoothly if and only if you have "time management" in your thoughts and in your responses. So , when other people's actions and situations that are not in our control throw your off course, take the time out to manage your mind in that moment and the rest of your day will run smoothly, even if it is a little off your "schedule".

Take care
Love ya

Past? Future? PRESENT

JSK..good morning,

A very interesting thought about being PRESENT in the moment. Have you ever thought about your personalty? Are you the worrying kind or a dreamer about your future and the desiring type of person?

All these are not living in the moment for worrying about future or someone who is not in your control to dreaming and always thinking about something good that could happen, again are not in your control. We let these things that happened or don't happen make us upset, angry and feel hopeless. We get attached to the FUTURE and to the PAST.

THINK if you are in control of your PRESENT moment the next moment will be ok. What ever is happening right now is the result of past and you had a part in creating that. Instead of getting attached to something in the future would be take care of it NOW. IF YOU LIVE IN FEAR OF PAST OR FUTURE YOU ARE LOSING YOUR ENERGY.

We always say..."Oh, I don't feel enthusiastic..have no motivation". Make goals and don't wait till you feel your completely happy ready.

We need to seriously check are we doing everything NOW, is your foundation of your thoughts are solid NOW, think . Do everything you can to do very BEST IN YOUR PRESENT MOMENT and life's puzzle pieces will fit right in its places. Life is meant to be enjoyed...live lightly, change will come.

Take care now
Love ya,

Death

JSK...good morning,

When someone dies close to us and at a very young age, we wonder what's the use of this life...there is no purpose to live anymore. Up till now we took care of that person, and now we still have to continue to live. No matter how much we cry, we have to eat, work, sleep etc. How do we take care of our self in these situation.

We are human beings, we are the combination of two entities. One part is the body. The word human which comes out from the word humus part that is mud (mitti)and being is energy consciousness. We know the body is ours, but who are we? We are also the energy and we have to understand that energy can neither be created nor be destroyed. In spiritual language we call it our soul or our spirit.

All our life we live in fear of death but what is the concept of death. Its our life exam paper. Its based on our karmic connection, our account once its settled the soul leaves and have to start its new journey.

So, I believe that we cry or are sad, we are sending our sad energy to our loved ones. Think...when someone who lives out of town calls us and we are sick, what we do we say?...We say everything is ok because we don't want them to worry. So next time if you remember your family member who are no more with you, put a smile on your face and tell him you are ok, don't worry and enjoy your life wherever you are. It is difficult but try to send a happy peaceful feeling.

Take care
