Wise Words for You

When you are upset, worried or feeling down, it can help to talk about what you are going through. Talking to someone about what's troubling you can make a big difference to how you feel.  Why talk? Often in talking with someone you gain a different perspective that can help you look at things in a different way or find solutions. Talking it out can help lessen worry and reassure you that there is a better or different way forward. Have a cup of tea with someone who cares for you, or give them a call, and let them know you are not okay. You don’t have to appear to be strong or to try to struggle through things by yourself. Someone will notice Sometimes, we expect that those close to us should know we aren’t feeling good. We feel that they should notice what we are going through. However, perhaps they haven’t noticed or perhaps they are waiting for you to ask, not wanting to interfere. If you communicate your feelings to them, people are often willing to help...

Don’t respond . If someone bullies you, remember that your reaction is usually exactly what the bully wants. It gives him or her power over you. Who wants to empower a bully? Don’t retaliate . Getting back at the bully turns you into one and reinforces the bully’s behavior. Help avoid a whole cycle of aggression. Save the evidence . The only good news about digital bullying is that the harassing messages can usually be captured, saved, and shown to someone who can help. You need to do this even if it’s minor stuff, in case things escalate. Talk to a trusted adult . You deserve backup. It’s always good to involve a parent but – if you can’t – a school counselor usually knows how to help. Sometimes both are needed. If you’re really nervous about saying something, see if there’s a way to report the incident anonymously at school. Block the bully . If the harassment’s coming in the form of instant messages, texts, or profile comments, do yourself a favor: Use preferences o...

By finding at least one wonderful quality in everyone, your life will become a dance.

A humble person dismisses nothing, recognising that there is always something to be learned. Every creative task requires humility behind it.

Three years ago,  Guardians Of The Galaxy  was a D-list Marvel property handed to a cult director whose last two films failed to make back their budgets at the box office. This week, the sequel lands as Marvel’s most-anticipated follow-up since  Avengers: Age Of Ultron . How times change. It’s no surprise, then, that writer and director James Gunn has brought plenty of swagger with him the second time around, and it’s right on display the very moment the movie begins. From the soundtrack choices to the production design to the script, there’s barely a single moment where this film isn’t delighting your senses.  Indeed, the team’s reintroduction feels like a genuine contender for one of the great modern blockbuster action sequences of recent times. As soon as it was over I wanted to see it again. It’s almost a shame this particular sequence comes at the start, because it sets the bar so high that the film can’t quite reach it a second time. Beyond that, you...

Inner cheer is destroyed by a conscience which bites. Learn to do everything in a worthwhile way. It’s an art which teaches you to appreciate your inner beauty (It makes you think twice about ruining it, too) Don’t be hard on yourself when making a mistake. It’s much more effective to be handled with love. Telling the self off is a terrible habit, it subtly shapes a nature of sorrow. Finish the business of thinking of rubbish and instead take delight in all that you’ve found.

From the start of next season Premier League clubs will wear shirts adorned with a new set of names and numbers. The Premier League and Official Partner Sporting iD have worked closely to develop the modern and vibrant designs, featuring updated lettering which aligns with the Premier League's visual identity and includes the new logo introduced from this season. In a first change for 10 years to the names and numbers used in the Premier League, there will be five approved colourways: white with black details and black, navy, red, and yellow; all with white details. The only previous style was the original set, introduced under license for all clubs, for the start of the 1997/98 campaign. Sporting iD's association with the Premier League began over 20 years ago when the company exclusively supplied all clubs with officially licensed Premier League sleeve badges for the 1994/95 season. As part of the process the Premier League surveyed more than 1,500 fans on six ...

Tolerance is based on going beyond the superficial things that  divide us.  It’s the result of turning within and coming to know the self. If I can deal with my own ego, then my own anger can be resolved. This goes a long way in resolving external issues too. With my own ego out of the way, I will be able to handle anything! Otherwise it’s just the same old  thing – you versus me, yours versus mine, etc. – intolerance. If I’m unselfish and honest in my heart and am concerned about others’ needs, then I will be full enough to give. When you know the self in this way, then you can know others. “I should be understood” changes to “I should understand”. Not ” They should change”, but “I will give what’s needed”. Patience, peace and maturity develop. Spiritual tolerance cultivates innate wisdom, the kind you can’t get from books.

An enlightened person understands that there is nothing to be gained by thinking about others. Pure thoughts and feelings will do all the work. There is no need to think any further. The quality of your thoughts will affect your spiritual endeavour. So keep checking them. If you don’t, then at some point your mode of thinking will become quite ordinary, no longer spiritual. The sign of this is that your mind begins to; race and you start reacting sensitively to little things. You become vulnerable not just to the opinions of others but even to your own limited way of understanding. Thoughts can be your best friend or your worst enemy. 

When your open your eyes in the morning, sit for a moment and appreciate the gift of a new day, create a peaceful thought and enjoy some moments of silence throughout the whole day.

How do you feel when you’re about to set off on a holiday? Can’t control the smiles, can’t hold in the anticipation of discovering new landscapes, and the promise of exciting adventures! How exciting would life be, if you set off on your morning commute, everyday, with that same holiday feeling! Set off with a smile, an anticipation of discovering something new, a promise of an adventure, and make everyday feel like a holiday.

When you talk to yourself in your mind, which self do you address? And how? Usually people do not talk to their divinity, but to the most superficial aspects of their everyday personality. And often it’s a stream of fears, complaints and a mindless repetition of old things. If we talked that way to another human being,  we would have to apologise . Learning to talk properly to the self is a spiritual endeavour. Thoughts from the past and worries about the future do not create good conversation. Instead learn to talk to your mind as if it were a child. Talk to it with love. If you just force a child to sit down, he won’t. A good mother knows how to prompt her child into doing what she wants. Be a good mother to your mind, teach it good, positive thoughts so that when you tell it to sit quietly, it will. Love your mind. Stay happy.

Imagine there is a bank that credits your account each morning with £86,400. Every evening whatever part of the balance you fail to use during the day is deleted. What would you do? Draw out every cent and use it well, of course!!! Each of us has such a bank – Its name is TIME. Every morning, it credits you with 86,400 seconds. Invest the day’s deposits well, or the loss is yours. How could you bring the most contentment, happiness and benefit to yourself and others? The clock is running.

Self-control is not about suppressing emotions or tolerating the pressure of circumstances. Self-control is to be the creator of your thoughts and feelings, to be creative and find new answers. This helps you to remain calm and cool.

Ever tried? Ever failed? No Matter. Try again, fail again, fail better. --Samuel Beckett Willpower is an essential ingredient in achieving, overcoming, and becoming -- so why does it so often fail us?  Below I offer 19 science-based reasons why will and will alone isn't enough, with suggestions peppered in along the way about what we can do about it. 1. Too much will, too little balance  -- Willpower is a game of balance, and balance is a game of sustainability. The fitness industry knows this acutely well. Every new year, fitness centres experience an explosion of new memberships around January 1st. Walk into any gym the first couple of weeks of the new year and you'll see it happening -- people are everywhere, as if the concept of "fitness" was just discovered. But as the days and weeks pass, those numbers lessen. A couple of months into the year and the crowds even out. Pretty soon getting on the lat pull-down machine doesn't require standing in li...
