The Arrogance of Authority

 A DEA officer stopped at a ranch in Texas, and talked with an old      rancher.

He told the rancher, "I need to inspect your ranch for illegally grown drugs."

The rancher said, "Okay, but don't go in that field over there.....", as he pointed out the location.

The DEA officer verbally exploded saying, " Mister, I have the authority of the Federal Government with me !"

Reaching into his rear pants pocket, he removed his badge and proudly displayed it to the rancher.

"See this badge?! This badge means I am allowed to go wherever I wish.... On any land !!

No questions asked or answers given!! Have I made myself clear.....do you understand ?!!"

The rancher nodded politely, apologized, and went about his chores.

A short time later, the old rancher heard loud screams, looked up, and saw the DEA officer running for his life, being chased by the rancher's big Santa Gertrudis bull.

With every step the bull was gaining ground on the officer and it seemed likely that he'd sure enough get gored before he reached safety. The officer was clearly terrified.

The rancher threw down his tools, ran to the fence and yelled at the top of his lungs.....

"Your badge, show him your BADGE........ ! !"


Acquire an Attitude of Acceptance towards everyone & everything because 
Feelings, Attitude & Actions are the package we radiate…..

Beautiful Thought

Once Lord Buddha was travelling with a few of his followers. While they were
passing a lake, Lord Buddha told one of his disciples, "I am thirsty. Do get me some
water from the lake."

The disciple walked up to the lake. At that moment, a bullock cart started
crossing through the lake. As a result, the water became very muddy and turbid. The
disciple thought, "How can I give this muddy water to Lord Buddha to drink?"

So he came back and told Lord Buddha, "The water in there is very muddy. I
don't think it is fit to drink."

Half an hour later, Lord Buddha asked the same disciple to go back to the lake.
The disciple went back, and found that the water was still muddy. He
returned and informed Lord Buddha about the same.

After sometime, once again Lord Buddha asked the same disciple to go back.
This time, the disciple found the mud had settled down, and the water was
clean and clear. So he collected some water in a pot and brought it to
Lord Buddha.

Lord Buddha looked at the water, and then he looked up at the disciple and
said," See what you did to make the water clean. You let it be, and the mud settled down
on its own and you have clear water.

Your mind is like that too ! When it is disturbed, just let it be. Give it
a little time. It will settle down on its own. You don't have to put in any effort to calm it down.
It will happen. It is effortless."

Having 'Peace of Mind' is not a strenuous job; it is an effortless process!



TREAT EVERYONE WITH POLITENESS

EVEN THOSE WHO ARE RUDE TO YOU

NOT BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT NICE

BUT BECAUSE YOU ARE NICE.

Never Ever Give Up



Achievers never expose themselves,but their achievements expose them..do or die.

Mistakes


Mistakes in life are natural. We should learn from our mistakes so as not to repeat them. Move on to a new level of awareness.

Brooding over a mistake takes us away from finding the solution to the problem. Every time we dwell on the past, on the things which did not happen, we are creating an obstruction for all the things we wish to happen.

A few of us may have suffered a lot due to our mistakes and shortcomings, perhaps we are being prepared for a greater purpose that requires all the wisdom imbibed through the trials. Mistakes make us stronger and confident to move forward.

Life sometimes takes an unknown turn, do not be afraid to travel it.

False Promises


Log bolte kuch hai aur karte kuch..

Aisa lagta hai ki aisi duniya mai ji rahe jahan promises ki koi importance hi nahi.

Promise karke bhool jana logon ki aadat ho gayi ....False promises!!!

Har taraf jhoot hi jhoot..Jhoot ki koi seema hi nahi..Jhoot ke sahare apni zindagi guzaarna apne aap ko dhoka dene ke barabar hai..

Ek din mai kitni baar jhoot bolte hai uska andaza hai??? Nahin !!!

Jab pata hai ki koi kaam ya promise nibhana mushkil hai to kehte kyon nahi??? Jhoot ka sahara kyon??? False promises kyon???

Speak up....

Aisa karne se apni credibility khote hai aur rishtey bhi toot jaate hai..

Realise karen..Jhoot ki jaal se bahar nikle..

Stop, think, whatever you promise to do, do it..

Be honest, keep your word and move ahead in life...

Blame Game


Often we find fault in others, we want perfection in everyone and everything.. as though we are perfect in all walks of life…
We need to learn to understand our self.. positive as well as negative outlook /emotions. When we love, appreciate and accept our self with our shortcomings and talents will we be able to love and appreciate others. We always blame others for our misfortunes, we blame our parents, siblings, other family members, friends, teachers, co - workers, seniors. Lastly we blame our destiny and finally GOD. We forget that our thoughts and actions are the cause of our failures and misfortunes. Lack of self confidence makes one envious of others.
Stop the Blame Game Accept Reality!!
Beauty lies in loving yourself . Love your self and with confidence appreciate and accept others. See the beauty in other things around you.
A famous quote “Beauty lies in the eyes of the Beholder”!!

Responsibility


True meaning of responsibility is our 'Ability to Respond'. However, often we fail to see the impact of our actions on others. The series of responses we create in our interactions with other people & events is immeasurable. Some of these actions create a positive response whereas some create a negative response. These negative responses drain us of our energy. Learn to see connections between actions and results, causes and effects. That is the Law of Karma or Reciprocity.
