motivation pill -Paulo Coelho

“The secret of life, though, is to fall seven times and to get up eight times.”
―  The Alchemist

“Nothing in the world is ever completely wrong. Even a stopped clock is right twice a day.”
― Brida

“Everything tells me that I am about to make a wrong decision, but making mistakes is just part of life. What does the world want of me? Does it want me to take no risks, to go back to where I came from because I didn’t have the courage to say “yes” to life?”
― Eleven Minutes

“Nothing in the world is ever completely wrong. Even a stopped clock is right twice a day.”
― Brida

“When we least expect it, life sets us a challenge to test our courage and willingness to change; at such a moment, there is no point in pretending that nothing has happened or in saying that we are not yet ready. The challenge will not wait. Life does not look back. A week is more than enough time for us to decide whether or not to accept our destiny.”
― The Devil and Miss Prym

“There are moments when troubles enter our lives and we can do nothing to avoid them.
But they are there for a reason. Only when we have overcome them will we understand why they were there.”
― The Fifth Mountain

“The two hardest tests on the spiritual road are the patience to wait for the right moment and the courage not to be disappointed with what we encounter.”
― Veronika Decides to Die

“No one loses anyone, because no one owns anyone. That is the true experience of freedom: having the most important thing in the world without owning it”
― Eleven Minutes

“Certain things in life simply have to be experienced -and never explained. Love is such a thing.”
― Maktub

“Why do we have to listen to our hearts?” the boy asked.
“Because, wherever your heart is, that is where you will find your treasure.”
― The Alchemist

note to self….!

High time to have a motivation pill… Just listing that all down..

# Accept or Change..
# You can close your eyes to what you don’t want to see, but you cannot close your heart to things you don’t want to feel..
# It is indeed not the oceans fault if you approach it with a tea spoon..
# What doesn’t kill you makes you strong..
# Live the time till it lasts..
# Conflict builds character, crisis defines it…
# As long as you are breathing, it is never too late to start again..

Yes F5 – Refresh… Took a motivation pill in the for of book “Attitude is Everything” and yes you people got it right. Feeling better now 🙂

Listing down some parts of my pill here, it may help someone out there who is in need of it…

• Nothing can stop the man with right mental attitude from achieving his goal; Nothing on earth can help the man with the wrong attitude.
• You are not what you think you are.But what you think- YOU ARE.
• A positive attitude is a person’s passport to a better tomorrow.
• Success is state of mind.If you want success,start thinking of yourself as success.
• Better keep yourself clean and bright;you are the window through which you must see the world.
• You cannot always control the circumstances,But you can control your own thoughts.
• There is nothing good or bad,but thinking makes it so.
• A happy person is not a person in certain set of circumstances,but rather a person with certain set of attitudes.
• We become what we think about.
• If you can believe, all the things are Possible.
• There is nothing on the earth that you cannot have – once you have mentally accepted the fact that you can have it.
• Whether you think you can – or think you cannot, you are right…!
• They can  because they think they can.
• If your thoughts don’t change, your results wont change.
• What we sincerely believe regarding ourselves is true for us.
• Nobody succeeds beyond his or her wildest expectations unless he or she begins with some wild expectations.
• If you can dream it,you can do it.
• “What is this power is I cannot say;all know is that it exists and it becomes available only when a an is in that state of mind in which he knows exactly what he wants and is fully determined not to quit until he finds it.”
• Effort fully release its reward after a person refuses to quit.

sip of it – the motivation

“You expected to be sad in the fall.

Part of you died each year when the leaves fell from the trees and their branches were bare against the wind and the cold winter y night.

But you know there would always be the spring, as you knew the river would flow again after it was frozen…” Ernest  Hemingway

and that is selfesteem…!

You cannot see it every where but only when you look at yourself in the mirror. You cannot hear it in the zillon sounds outside, but only in the your own inner voice. Its not about who all like you, its about how you like yourself. Its not about what world thinks you have as good, its about what you think is good about you. Its not about how in many eyes you see respect for yourself, its about how much you have it in your own eyes for you….! Does all that define what the self-esteem is? Well may be not completely, but yes they definitely form a part of it.

I have been realizing that to have a really good self-esteem is as important as finding a meaning for your life. World can totally crush you down like anything if you lack it. You are loved when you love yourself at the first place. You are looked up to when you look up to yourself first. Its definitely not about feeling or behaving as if you are self-contained or 100 % or perfect, its just about being kind to you own self and living with realization that you have things those can be counted as good.

Good self-esteem is no one step formula to success or answers you are seeking for, but it definitely can be your guard/companion when life puts you at stake.

To be esteemed and compassionate selves is what we need to be have a peaceful life…!
And that is all for now…. 🙂

don’t quit – the motivation series continued…..

DONT  QUIT

When things go wrong, as they sometimes will,
When the road you’re trudging seems all uphill,
And you want to smile, but you have to sigh,
When care is pressing you down a bit,
Rest, if you must, but don’t you quit.

Life is queer with its twists and turns,
As every one of us sometimes learns,
And many a failure turns about,
When he might have won had he stuck it out;
Don’t give up though the pace seems slow–
You may succeed with another blow.

Often the goal is nearer than,
It seems to a faint and faltering man,
Often the straggler has given up,
When he might have captured the victor’s cup,
And he learned too late when the night slipped down,
How close he was to the golden crown.

Success is failure turned inside out–
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt,
And you never can tell how close you are,
It may be near when it seems so far,
So stick to the fight when you’re hardest hit–
It’s when things seem worst that you must not quit…. – Anonemous

the Alchemist – for the second time

The title reveals it all, yes I am on to it for the second time – The Alchemist. The honest reason to get back to it for the second time is, I have read it long 3 years back and hardly remember it now,moreover I was lacking it a little – The motivation. For the first time it was as good as a bouncer ball but for this time I am able inculcate it and hope I’ll make most out of it. Just listing out some of the great lines from the book from the part I am done with :

• Maktub” (It is written)
• When you really want something, the universe always conspires in your favor.
• It’s the possibility of having a dream come true that makes life interesting.
• The secret of life, though, is to fall seven times and to get up eight times.
• The simple things are also the most extraordinary things, and only the wise can see them.
• Remember that wherever your heart is, there you will find your treasure.
• “Why do we have to listen to our hearts?” the boy asked-
  “Because, wherever your heart is, that is where you will find your treasure.
• Intuition is really a sudden immersion of the soul into the universal current of life.
• There is only one way to learn. It’s through action.
• And, when you can’t go back, you have to worry only about the best way of moving forward.
• You must always know what it is that you want.
• The secret of happiness is to see all the marvels of the world, and never to forget the drops of oil on the spoon.
• The secret is here in the present.
• To realize one’s destiny is a person’s only real obligation.
• He hadn’t a cent in his pocket, but he had faith !
• It is bound to come a moment when what seems close is still very far away.
• Life is really generous to those who pursue their Personal Legend.

I want to back to it – reading,reading and a lot of the same. Signing of on the note to my (lazy,procrastinating) soul that I will take this up seriously now.

have a blessed day…!

Sometimes best thing you can do is –

Not think

Not wonder

Not imagine

Not obesess

Just breath and

have faith that

Everything will work out for the BEST…!
