Great is the power of thought

Read somewhere, found worth sharing-
Thoughts can be more powerful than the mightiest weapons.Thoughts rule the world when translated into action.People re-shape their destinies just by their thoughts.
Let's analyse our thoughts.The scientific guys say that about 30,000-40,000 thoughts cross our mind in a day which are of 4 basic types:-
Positive thoughts:Focussed ones.They carry best intentions for ourselves and others.
Necessary thoughts: "I must get the notes xeroxed" or "I must return that book at the library" etc
Waste thoughts: Thinking too much about the past or worrying too much about the future.Thoughts that others spill out as gossip.
Negative thoughts: Feelings of anger, fear, ego, greed, sadness, doubt, regret and unease.They drain away our energy.
A large % of our thoughts is negative or waste which becomes the root cause of our stress.
So, by increasing the quota of positive thoughts, we can expeience a relaxed state of mind.


And here comes a stupid story...
Once a yogi and his disciple were in a big city.They had no money either for food or night stay.The disciple was perplexed.The yogi smiled and assured him that everything will be alright.
For a few seconds, the yogi sat in meditation and after opening his eyes said "Follow me, we are going to stay in a hotel and eat there too."
After sometime, they found themselves at a hotel.On hearing their footsteps, the manager came out and said "I believe you have no money.But i can allow you to stay if you work in the kitchen."
"Fine",the yogi responded.
The disciple asked him"Did you use any magic?"
Yogi said"I wanted to show you how the power of thought works.When you think in concentration , your thought materialises." Therefore, one should be very careful about what one thinks of because...
Your thoughts become your words.
Your words become your actions.
Your actions become your habits.
Your habits become your character.

Smell the Coffee


Hi all,I read this little story somewhere and found it worth sharing......so here it goes...
A group of young professionals thought of giving a pleasant visit to their former teacher.After greetings n all...were exchanged and general conversation was going on,the teacher observed that all of them...at some point or the other,complained of a stressful life.
He went up to his kitchen and made them coffee.He poured it in cups-some stylish expensive ones and some ordinary.As expected,most of them readily picked up the expensive ones,as everyone wants the best for him.
The teacher remarked-That's the problem,my friends.Your life is coffee,poured in cups of money,jobs and societal position.You should be concerned with coffee.But you are envying your cups which are just tools to hold it. So smell the coffee...take in its aroma...as Content Matters.Not the Container!

The Two Wolves

An elderly Cherokee Native American was teaching his grandchildren about life.He said to them-"A fight is going on inside me,its a terrible fight and it is between two wolves.
One represents anger, regret, greed, inferiority, lies, arrogance, superiority.The other wolf stands for love, peace, hope, kindness, truth, compassion, faith.The same fight is going on inside you and every other person too. "
They thought about it for a minute and then one child asked his grandfather-"Which wolf will win?"

The old Cherokee simply replied-"The one i feed"
