Others will change , When we change

Living a life full of many different types of relationships sometimes brings with it different types of challenges and relationships can become a test of our mental strength when what we expect from others is not what we receive.
Expectations from others can sometimes burden us so much that at times we can find people extremely difficult to deal with. Also, we may lose interest in our lives to an extent, difficult to imagine. There was once a king who ruled a very big kingdom, which was full of different types of people, who were not only different in their roles but also very different in their natures and personalities. The king sometimes wondered that I am not able to satisfy so many different people because everyone has different expectations from me. At the same time, his different expectations from the people of his kingdom were immense and at times it became difficult for him to experience peace and inner stability while handling their concerns and demands. A minister of the king gave him a suggestion that instead of trying to focus on everyone’s desires and what they wanted, you be your good self and focus on playing your role in the best possible way and leave the rest to happen as it happens.
Many times, it’s not about making the effort to change others but it’s changing yourself which brings positive results. This is because it is your change that inspires others to change. Remember everyone will not act or behave as we want and sometimes it can be difficult to cope with this. But if we remain determined in our positive behavior and change, they will, after seeing our change, over a period of time, begin to realize their mistakes and become the way you expect them to be.

Die Empty ...

Recently just when I was surfing on the web I came across the book 'Die empty' -by Todd Henry. The title itself is unique and made me curious about what this book is all about. I have gone through the book and I found the concept quite amazing. I will try to summarize the book in short which I gain. The writer did his best to motivate people to pour out their ideas and potential energies in their communities and turn them into something useful before it is too late. The most beautiful of what he said in his book is that: "Do not go to your grave and you carry inside you the best that you have, always choose to die empty." Die empty is a new expression and unique in its own way, at first glance you will think it is normal. But I was surprised to know the true meaning of this new expression. It is to "die empty" of all the goodness that is within you. Deliver it before you leave this world. If you have knowledge give it out. If you have an idea

Action speaks louder than words ?

Let's start with the example of the founder of Tesla Elon Musk. He has made more than 100 patents effectively “open source.” Goes against all “common sense.” But his actions speak louder than any words. Waste no words on a man who dislikes you. Actions will impress him more. Some people think they can talk their way out of any situation, and for a time they may be right But if someone already dislikes you, either because of a simple misunderstanding or an error in judgment on your part, he or she will be especially difficult to persuade with words. Their emotions will always get in the way of their ability to think logically and reasonably. Consistent actions over a sustained period of time, however, will usually persuade even the most devout skeptic. If you constantly demonstrate that you are a generous, kind, and caring person, it will be very hard for even your enemies to dislike you. In any case, you will become a better person for having made the effort.

What is your story ?

What Is Your Story? I remember my childhood was filled with my grandmother’s stories. I can recall every single one of them; remembering exactly how she would tell each story with her calm and warm voice. The lessons I learned from her stories still remain effective in my life. Back then, I used to believe in those stories, they had formed my reality. What is essential to understand now is that those were stories of my childhood, not my adulthood. Everything you attract into your life is a reflection of the story you believe and keep telling yourself. The stories we tell ourselves shape who we were, who we are, and who we will become. These stories shape our attitudes, beliefs, self-perception and so on. In life, there may be certain stories we like to tell ourselves repeatedly. It is important to understand that not all stories are meant for you and not all stories are true. It is possible for a story to be built on a lie or a fear. I call these stories fiction; they do not enhanc
