Lesson from the Pigeons

by TSK. Raman

 

There was a family of pigeons which had made the top of a mosque as its abode. They were living happily for a sometime and when one day when the mosque was being decorated for a festival, the pigeons had to think of a relocation.

The head of the family discussed the migration with the family including so they moved to a church. They settled down in their new abode and life was going on smoothly till the church was being decorated this time again for a festival.

The family go together and discussed this issue and they planned another migration. This time around they migrated and made their new abode atop a temple.

One baby pigeon had a doubt and asked its mother, "please don’t mind if I ask you a question."

The mother pigeon said, "go ahead."

The baby asked, "When we were in the mosque people who came to worship were all known as Muslims and they followed Islam. When we moved to the church, people who came to worship were all known as Christians and they followed Christianity. Now here people who come here are called Hindu’s and they follow Hinduism. How come the same people just because they go to different places of worship get called by different names, where as we are called pigeons everywhere we go."

To this the mother replied, "We are way ahead of them. Good doubt indeed, we stay at a height and we also fly, where as human beings are on the ground and they do not ever rise, it is just for that reason we are so elevated in our thinking and they are still on the ground. When perhaps a man raises his level he will be able to see himself above all these minor divides."

The moral of this story: When we are on the same level, we can’t see that far, but when we raise our levels we see from the top we see things we enjoy a more broader vision.

To Change or not to is in your mind

DEVELOP A GOOD MINDSET

- A HEALTHY, WEALTHY AND A WISE ONE

by TSK. Raman

The biggest stumbling block to progress is our mind set. We often go back to the previous experiences we have had in life and we look at the situations you confronted, and act accordingly. You might be tended to want to use that expereince for a solution this day. Not a bad deal, however, you generally do not take into account is the fact that the world around you is changing constantly and rapidly with the advancement and use of technology in our daily life. It's your mindset that prevents you from thinking ahead, but if you think about it deeply, there are several ways to improve your mindset. Doing so will ensure that life situations are forever improving and developing a healthy (pure thinking) wealthy (wisdom rich) mindset will gauantee that you build your life in a much better fashion. To help you maintain your new mindset, each week, re-examine your core beliefs (which shouldn't change much), attitudes (a positive one, with a never say die spirit), and actions (proactive rather than reactive), regarding situations in life and repeat this process for any slips back to your old, ineffective mindset.

Changing and improving your mindset is the first step to add value to your life, which will spin off into good health first and wealth later. It is your mindset ultimately that will determine the opportunities thatcomes your way. You will recognize and create, as well as determine your ability to capitalize upon them. What are you waiting for. Get started today and watch your life soar to new heights.

How to develop such a mindset?

1. Scrutinize your current mindset. At this point of time, how do you view life, health, money and wealth?
Ask yourself what needs to change about your beliefs and attitudes if you're going to give yourself the opportunity to make your life different by becoming healthy, wealthy and wise?
Do you think and feel only positive things when you think about these aspect of life - health that you have, money that you make and wealth you create.?

2. Adopt a new set of beliefs.What new beliefs would you need to become the changed person you want to be?
Make a list with these ideas, if it may help:
    Do you routinely spot opportunities to make life better?
    Do you routinelly spot opportunities to make a better living working hard?
    Do you spend money on things that don't provide real value to my life. If yes take another look into what's useful and
    what's not, if possible elimate the waste.
    Think was to what all you can generate all the wealth I could possibly to make a decent living.

3. First rehearse - mentally. We do everything in our mind before we put it into action. This is called visualization. We do not realize this truth because of its becoming a habit. Therefore, while you're still lying in bed, imagine, every morning approaching the world with these new beliefs.
A good way to do would be to make your new beliefs habitual by daily visualization.
This practice will become even better and solid if we repeat this once again in the night before you fall asleep.

4. "Change your past because it is history."  The first suggestion would be to forget your past, but remember the misakes you've made. Concsiously recall and review the mistakes you've made in the past. Check if you've learnt any lessons from that expereince. It can be very helpful to revisit the mistakes you've made in life and the opportunities you've missed, but this time, change your history to see yourself in the same situations acting with your new beliefs.
What would you have changed about your approach and your thought process?

5. You be your own judge and evaluate yourself.  At the end of each day, examine your thoughts and behavior for that day. What would you have done differently if you were in your "new mindset" mode? Just as importantly, what did you do well, examine what could have been done better, if it was not, and what needs to be changed?

When you've done all this 'pat' yourself and keep evolving always.
