New Year Resolution




At the beginning of every year, all around the world, it has become a culture or tradition for people to think and decide on what to do and what not to do in the new year. Often they compare and learn from the past year planning in anticipation for a greater year they've just entered.



Resolutions are powerful tools in personal control and planning methods because we make them for ourselves, thus providing our self-motivation and self-determination.
Resolutions show what you've decided to involve yourself in for the new year, and things you've also decided to abstain from. Meanwhile, surveys show that almost half of the people who make new year resolutions never actually fulfill them throughout the whole year.
They might be faithful to those plans and rules up to 5 or 6 month, then suddenly lose interest and focus. Some even forget that they made resolutions for the year while others fall for the new year trends they might have even written to abstain from.
New year resolutions aren't bad, but it takes a person of self-control and determination to be faithful to the lists on the resolution. Writing and planning the do's and don't for a year is even advantageous and people are advised to do so.
Finally, whatever your resolutions are make all efforts to achieve them, as great goals and ambitions are embedded in the resolution list. Place those resolution papers and boards on places you'll see everyday to be reminded of your plans for the new year and your new year will be a lot better than the previous year.

Today I am what I am





Today I am what I am 

Because of my yesterday's choices. 
And where I shall be tomorrow 
Will be decided today. 



Of course, this I know.
We can steer our life into 
Happiness or sorrow 
By the choices we borrow.



We are the captains of our lifeliner
And we choose our course and command our 'Choice'.
Do we choose like a child with hopes, pure admiration; fearless?
Or like a defeated skunk - lost and hopeless?



It is greatness and the quality of our response, 
It is our attitude of poise 
That gives a glitter to our choice,
That makes us win and rejoice.



And this is the seed I sow for tomorrow 
And shall doubtless reap it;
The harvest of choosing right. 
Would I be happy while I reap? 
Depends on the seed of today.



Even if today I have a sour harvest,
For the morrow, let me choose to seed my best 
In the hope of having a fine bounty.



What else can we do other than to choose today? 
Either we choose right or lie at life's mercy. 
The better way is making our CHOICE TODAY.

IF I HAD THE POWER


If I had the power 
I would heal the sick,
Feed the hungry and the poor
End all poverty, famine and war.

If I had the power
All the blind would see, the lame would walk,
The mute and deaf would hear and talk.

If I had the power
No child would ever shed a salty bitter tear,
Out of neglect, beating or fear
For I would give them a family 
That truly loves them and cares.

If I had the power
But yes, we all possess that power.
It's called "the power of prayer".

Lesson of LIFE




The day you decide to be whom you really are and to purse your dreams is the day you begin to unravel the mystery behind your existence. Things are never easy at first but each experience sharpens you, makes you stronger and makes you determined to want to succeed and move higher in life.


When you are comfortable, you never think about how to make it. That dream of yours takes you out of your comfort zone and it makes you realize what life truly is. Some people may mock you; some may pity you, while others may praise you. Be wise enough not to be carried away by the praise and be wiser not to be discouraged by criticism and pity.



Don't wait for opportunities because they might never come. Develop yourself and create your own opportunities because waiting for opportunities is like building a castle in the air. Start small; don't wait until your parents, your family members, your friends, or the government gives you money before you start planning on ways to actualize your vision.



Humility and forgiveness are great attributes of great men. Humility costs nothing actually, but it buys everything and the only person that is expected to be proud is that person that created his or herself. Humility opens closed doors and makes way when there is no way. Humble people make friends with meaningful people because they know when to say thank you, are not too proud to say sorry, and are willing to always stand their ground to defend the truth.



Forgiveness frees us from guilt and allows us to interact positively with other people. Watch out for people who find it hard to forgive others because they don't see themselves realistically. They are either arrogant, insecure or believe that hanging onto a grudge is satisfying.



Those who do not forgive are hurting themselves more than they are hurting others. When hurt, forgive as quickly as possible so that you can free yourself from guilt, worry and unnecessary loads.



Failure has an explanation, and Success also has an explanation. The explanation for failure is often an EXCUSE, and the explanations for success are KEYS, PRINCIPLES and TIPS.



Nobody appreciates, understands, cherishes or cares to listen to the explanation of failure because they understand that failure, coupled with its explanation 'Excuse", cannot produce the result they had always wanted which is SUCCESS.



People are ready and willing to pay to hear the explanation of SUCCESS or perhaps spend their money, energy and time to read the books of successful people. FAILURE in itself is not bad, but including an excuse makes it worse.



When you fail, propose in your heart to be better, add that extra effort and believe in yourself that you can make it rather than telling stories to make up for your failures. The world is waiting for your SUCCESS tips.



There are four laws every successful man follows:



The Law Of Accountability: If you have money and you don't sit down to plan well on how you would spend the money, you will end up spending it on things you do not need, or on things of less importance.



The Law Of Becoming: You cannot become something in life until you first become it in your mind.



The Law Of Money: You get more money for problems solved and value exchanged.



The Law Of Sowing: You cannot have a harvest unless you sow, you cannot get more money unless you are ready to invest the money you have with you.



These laws look simple, but they work wonders when you apply them - Pream Anand

A Part of Me & A part of You




Dear Marie Jean Xavier,
Every moment that we are together, I am learning something, and that knowledge becomes a permanent part of me. Though my feelings will be different a year from now, or ten years from now, part of the difference is You. Because of you, I am a different person, and the person I will grow to become, with you or without you by my side, will have gotten there partly because of you. If you were not in my life right now, I could not be who I am right now. Nor would I be growing in exactly the same way. 

Much of what I grow toward, and change within myself, has to do with what I respond to in you, what I learn from you, what I understand about myself through you, and what I learn about my feelings in the dynamics of our relationship. I do not worry about our 'future together' since we have already touched each other and affected each other's lives on so many levels that we can never be totally removed from each other's thoughts. A part of me will always be you, and a part of you will always be me. That much is certain, no matter what else happens - Pream Anand Tharmalingam
