Do not undermine your worth by Comparing yourself with others.It is because we are different That each of us is special.
Do not set your goals by what Other people deem important.Only you know what is best for you.
Do not take for granted the things Closest to your heart.Cling to them as you would your life,for without them, life is meaningless.
Do not let your life slip through your fingers By living in the past nor for the future.
By living your life one day at a time,You live all the days of your life.
Do not give up when you Still have something to give.Nothing is really over until the Moment you stop trying.It is a fragile thread that Binds us to each other.
Do not be afraid to encounter risks.It is by taking chances That we learn how to be brave.
Do not shut love out of your life by Saying it is impossible to find. The quickest way to receive Love is to give love;
The fastest way to lose loveIs to hold it too tightly;
In addition, the best way to keep Love is to give it wings.
Do not dismiss your dreams.To be without dreams Is to be without hope;To be without hope Is to be without purpose.
Do not run through life So fast that you forget Not only where you have been, But also where you are going.
Life is not a race, But a journey to be savored Each step of the way.
CERTAINLY..LIFE IS NOT A RACE. WAIT FOR UR DESTINATION..TILL UR DESTINED.

Dont Die With Your Dreams Still Inside You
I write and talk a lot about dreams. Primarily because I know we serve an awesome and amazing God, who gave us dreams for an awesome and amazing purpose. We all have a dream to do something great, go somewhere incredible, achieve the unachievable, beat the unbeatable or meet the "unmeetable." Unfortunately, more often than not, most dreams remain unrealized;
silenced by fear and doubt. What's needed is a renaissance to recapture the spirit and belief we
once had as children. We need to remind ourselves in all that we desire to be, have and do... "I can, if I believe I can." My aim is to inspire as many people as possible to passionately pursue and do their dreams. Revitalize your dreams.
Start today. Don't just dream; dream BIG dreams! Put them in your heart, then put them on the wall, refrigerator, mirror ... wherever you'll see them often. Remind yourself you are more than worthy of everything your heart ever imagined. Believe, then diligently commit to a plan to achieve.Resolve to live a life that ends the way you want it to; and don't you dare, I say don't you dare... die with your dreams still inside you.

Are you sure you are not spamming?
WISHES TO MY BLOG VIEWERS....
IM HONOURED TO INTRODUCE MR NAVIN HARISH WITH HIS TREMENDOUS POST ABOUT SPAM MESSAGES...THIS GUY BASICALLY DOSENT NEED ANY INTRODUCTION SINCE HIS BLOG REGISTERED AS ONE THE BEST BLOGS IN ASIA...
I PERSONALLY TOOK THIS OPPURTUNITY TO PUT THIS SPECIAL POST OF HIS IN MY BLOG.
YOU CAN ALWAYS .. REACH HIS BLOG HERE http://www.navinharish.net/
BELOW FOLLOWS HIS POST..
Sometime, in our eagerness to share something with the rest of the world we may end up doing things that can be classified as spamming. I have got a first hand experience of this.
I have been visiting Wikipedia for information on quite a few things. Wikipedia is a place where you can contribute to any topic about which you have some relevant information. The fact that it can be edited by anyone makes it very powerful because the content generation is not limited to a fixed group but to anyone with an access to the Internet. The disadvantage is that unlike Britannica or World Book, you don't really have the guarantee that the facts presented are accurate.
While visiting one of the pages again, to my surprise, I realised that the links I had placed have gone missing. I was surprised but soon discovered that another user has been deleting all the links that I have added. He also left a message for me that is reproduced below
Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia. Wikipedia is not a mere directory of links nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Inappropriate links include (but are not limited to) links to personal web sites, links to web sites with which you are affiliated, and links that exist to attract visitors to a web site or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam policies for further explanations of links that are considered appropriate. If you feel the link should be added to the article, then please discuss it on the article's talk page rather than re-adding it. See the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you
This looked a little odd to me. True I am adding external links of my own photoblog but those links are relevent to the content of those pages and it is actually adding value. At least that is how I saw it. I decided to go and read the guidelines and policies he suggested and I found out that whatever he said is correct. Even now I feel that the links I added were very valid and added value to the pages they were added but that is against the policy of the site where they were added and you have to respect that.

Relax. Its Just Your Life
I FEEL HONOURED TO KEEP THIS MESSAGE IN MY POST.... THE ESSENCE IN THIS POST IS UNDOUBTEDLY THE BEST..HERE IT GOES..
What am I supposed to do with my life? Shouldn't I be doing something...well...more?
These questions haunt everyone from time to time. Personally, I can't count the number of times my acquaintances and I have batted this philosophical shuttlecock around a conversational circle. More often then not, the discussion gets bogged down in the seemingly immiscible oil-and-water struggle between the "idealists", who are sure anything is possible if you just believe, and the "realists" who claim that between taxes, child-rearing and battles over tenure and seniority there simply isn't time for belief in the promise that "your check is in the mail," let alone anything more esoteric like living the life of your dreams.
I can't help but feel that most of us are going about this issue the wrong way - simply trying too hard to get it right the first time and ending up doing nothing out of fear that we will get it wrong, and not find out until we're too far down the road to find our way back to the starting point. Unfortunately, by the time we realize that we haven't actually chosen anything we often discover that the choice was made for us long ago by our inattention.
Instead of trying to figure out the eternal (and unanswerable) question of, "What should I do with my life," consider just living life, and living it well. There's nothing wrong with simply picking up a comfortable mix of jobs, hobbies, causes, volunteering and fun stuff that you really want to do and enjoy doing, and then doing them to the best of your ability with no intent to be anything other than yourself at your best. If you do this, one of two things will most certainly happen:
1. You will eventually stumble across something you want to do while you're out enjoying your life.
2. You won't stumble across whatever it is you want to do, but will enjoy living your life anyway, creating a warm, cheerful and loving environment for those around you in the process.
Either way, you will have a happy, enjoyable life that you can be proud of reliving in the hereafter, and you may end up coming across something wondrous. One thing I do know is that while all of us are capable of doing great things, not too many of us realize that not everybody has to climb to the top of the mountain and be a hero to do this.
Even if you just spend your life being kind, happy and pleasant, puttering around at your hobbies, helping others when you can and generally just making the world around your little sphere of influence a little cheerier by virtue of your smiling, whistling presence, that's a great work in and of itself. Too many people, feeling that pull to "make something of themselves," fail to realize that who they already are is enough.
So why not just relax, enjoy your life and let it unfold as it will. Many who believe in reincarnation believe that some lifetimes are just for enjoying the view, a vacation of sorts, and many others believe that it is as much a sin to forgo permissible pleasures as it is to avoid the forbidden ones. Surely our Creator would not create such a beautiful world as this and then be offended if we were so taken with it that we spent our lives enjoying it and each other. Enjoy your life and enjoy the lives of those around you. And if you just so happen to find "great work" while you're at it, well that's just the icing on the cake.

Getting What You Really Want
Firstly my best wishes to all my blog readers..
its been very long me bloggin something soothing,something inspirational and something useful
I feel i hold some responsibilty after creating a blog like this which replicates each's life in one sentence in atleast one post.Every post has its own significance of seeing the life in its own way.
Everyone wants something in life, love, money, success, recognition ... Yet too many people fail to realize their desires, and nearly all of them for the same reason. They seem to go whichever way the wheel turns, as if they have no control over their situation. If their vehicle takes them to places they never intended to be, or crashes into the brickwall of utter despair, that's just the cruelty of fate.
Don't get me wrong, I realize that truly horrible things do happen to folks, and through no fault of their own. Gigantic obstacles are placed in our way sometimes, that seem absolutely insurmountable. Generally speaking, however, getting what you really want out of life is a matter of three simple steps.
Firstly - and this may seem like a no-brainer - you have to decide what it is you want the most. Decide what to aim for, with some specificity. Don't make a laundry list of wishes, but focus on one thing at a time. If you're not sure about where you want to go, there's no point in getting into the vehicle in the first place.
Secondly, create an action plan. This will be your map for getting from point A, where you are now, to point B, where you want to go. You know what you want, what steps are you going to take to get it?
Some things are obvious. If you want a better job, start with skills assessment and maybe some additional training. Then you'll need to sell yourself and your skills either to your present employer for a promotion into the new position you want, or to a new employer.
Other goals will require a bit more thought. Some will really leave you stuck without a clue of how to get there. Not to worry, though, no matter where it is you want to go, someone, somewhere has probably already been there. So what did they do to get there, what road did they take? Books, biographies and such, can be a real help with this. So hit the library if you're in need of guidelines.
Get ideas, get advice, create a good map for yourself, and know where you're going. Write it down, and make sure you can read it every day.
The third and final step is execution. Do what you planned. Take the steps you outlined on your road map and be persistent. If you run into naysayers, simply ignore them. Everyone who ever did anything great always ran into naysayers.
Never take your eyes off the goal. Keep pushing. Whatever you do, do not give up until you have what you desire in your hands. Never, ever give into the notion that you 'can't get there from here.'
Decide - Plan - Execute. It is really that simple.
Sometimes your action plans may not get you to where you want to be. Maybe something is missing, maybe some step is not quite right. If you find this is the case, after exercising your full patience and persistence, you simply must rework your plan.
Look at it, figure out what's missing, and get back at it. It's just like following a map through a place you've never been before. If you find taking a particular road takes you to the wrong town, rather than turning around and going home, giving up, you take a second look at your map, figure out where you made the wrong turn, and get back on the road.
Whatever you do -- Keep your hands on the wheel !

you should know....that...........
Dream what you want to dream; go where you
want to go; be what you want to be,
because you have only one life and one
chance to do all the things you want to do.
It takes only a minute to get a crush on someone,
an hour to like someone, and a day to love someone,
but it takes a lifetime to forget someone.
It's true that we don't know what we've
got until we lose it, but it's also true
that we don't know what we've been
missing until it arrives.
When the door of happiness closes,
another opens, but often times we look
so long at the closed door that we don't
see the one which has been opened for us.
Maybe God wants us to meet a
few wrong people before meeting
the right one so that when we finally
meet the right person, we will know
how to be grateful for that gift.
"A friend is one who believes in you when you have ceased to believe in yourself."
