No Accidents!





"Tisha, I Dare you!" Mom glared into her toddler's eyes while rapidly washing her hands.

The toddler at first lowered her gaze and tried to distract herself with the toy nearby. But that urge was too strong. She twisted her mouth indicating she needed to let go. 

Mom could feel her strong desire. She kept talking comforting words. 

Finally, she leads her towards the toilet seat, after a quick pull of her training pants and placement on the seat, the relief on letting go brought a smile on Tisha's lips while Mom was elated over no accidents!

The Impact of Joy in our Lives

I was inspired to write this post when I read about Suzy's goal for this year...JOY in 2014

To be in joy unconditionally is difficult but to be aware of our circumstances and strive to be in that state of mind is bliss!

Happiness is conditional for all beings since we believe in fruits of labor. Getting success means happiness for age groups until 50.

Asking people ranging from ages 1 to 90 years old...their reason for happiness will vary.

Happiness is when the inner self is in high spirits due to some satisfaction that he has yearned for quite some time.

It is bliss, contentment and peace of mind for some.

Happiness leads to a moment of enjoyment, a euphoria which leads man to ecstasy even without any drugs.

Man is a dreamer, and when his dreams, ambitions, goals, or something nice triggers for him, his heart tends to melt and secrete those hormones that lead to a smile as his inner self rejuvenates over it.

Happiness is an expression of love. A love and a yearning from within for someone or for oneself.

Promising to be happy for just that day can do wonders.

Try it, and feel the gush of happiness flow through you for that selective day and you will be amazed at how powerful your thoughts can be!

Once man realizes the magic of being in that state of mind despite the ugly circumstances surrounding him, he tends to believe in joy.

Mantra for today: Joy is an ecstasy that can be addictive if the soul learns to grip the art of being in that state of mind, irrespective of the outcome.

The Power of a Smile

Just yesterday while grocery shopping, I came across a person who was nasty and rude. Initially I was very confused and hurt. Did not understand why. 
Below is my take on how to deal with such people.
Man is known to be a social animal. Thus, wanna socialize but, when someone is rude to him, he will tend to get upset, frustrated or react back quickly with that same attitude.
Very rarely would he pause and feel the pain of the other person. 
Ego's come in between and we tend to play the blame game. 
Ponder upon
Losing temper over the person who was rude to you...Will that help YOU in the long run? 
Will it give YOU peace of mind by being disrespectful to him? 
Infact, it will just make YOU uncomfortable and hurt YOU more.
What are the options?
SMILE

This smile will help you digest the disrespectful behavior and you will be proud of yourself when you remember this episode. 

Mantra for today: Reactions made in haste are always injurious to one's health.
