When someone is doing something or about to do something, in a way I don't want it to be done - and i m not able to accept it - i become angry.
When someone is doing something or about to do something, in a way I don't want it to be done - and i m able to accept it - i remain tolerant.
When someone is having something or someone is able to produce the results which i m not able to produce - and I m not able to accept it - I become jealous.
When someone is having something or someone is able to produce the results which i m not able to produce - and i m able to accept it - i get inspired.
When i m encountering uncertainty or is about to encounter uncertainty, which i m not sure how i m going to handle - and i m not able to accept it - it causes fear in me.
When i m encountering uncertainty or is about to encounter uncertainty, which i m not sure how i m going to handle - and i m able to accept it - i feel adventurous about it.
When someone has done something that has emotionally hurt me - and i m not able to accept it - it develops hatred in me.
When someone has done something that has emotionally hurt me - and i m able to accept it - it helps me forgivethem.
When someone is present in my thoughts, but is not physically present - and i m not able to accept it - i say 'i m missing u'.
When someone is present in my thoughts, but is not physically present - and i m able to accept it - i say 'i m thinkin of u'.
Thus, Emotional Equation becomes:
Something + acceptance = positive emotion
Something + non-acceptance = negative emotion
So, it is not 'something' or 'someone' who is making me feel positive or negative, but it's my 'acceptance' or 'non-acceptance' of something or someone, which impacts things .

The Obstacle in Our Path
In ancient times, a king had a boulder placed on a roadway. Then he hid himself and watched to see if anyone would remove the huge rock. Some of the king's wealthiest merchants and courtiers came by and simply walked around it. Many loudly blamed the king for not keeping the roads clear, but none did anything about getting the big stone out of the way.
Then a peasant came along carrying a load of vegetables. On approaching the boulder, the peasant laid down his burden and tried to move the stone to the side of the road. After much pushing and straining, he finally succeeded. As the peasant picked up his load of vegetables, he noticed a purse lying in the road where the boulder had been. The purse contained many gold coins and a note from the king indicating that the gold was for the person who removed the boulder from the roadway. The peasant learned what many others never understand.
Every obstacle presents an opportunity
to improve one's condition.

Expect The Best
A little girl walked daily to and from school. Though the weather this particular morning was questionable and clouds were forming, she made her trek to the elementary school. As the afternoon progressed, the winds whipped up, along with thunder and lightning.
The child's mother, concerned that her daughter would be frightened and possibly harmed by the storm got into her car and drove along the route to her child's school.
As she did so, she saw her little daughter walking along happily but at each flash of lightning the child would stop, look up, and smile.
Stopping the car, the mother called to the child to get in with her. As they drove toward school, the girl continued to turn toward each lightning flash and smile.
The Mother asked, "What are you doing?"
The child answered, "Well, I must do this, God keeps taking pictures of me."
So, Expect the BEST within you!

Never Give Up
Author: Murali Duggineni
"You are never given a wish without also having been given the power To make it come true."
--- Richard Bach.
Trite? But true. What you need is patience, perseverance, and a burning desire that constantly needs to be fueled. The quest for the realization of your dreams is like waging a momentous battle during which you might encounter severe setbacks. But success comes to those who turn adversities into opportunities, overcome their limitations and bounce back with renewed vigor.
If you have fallen down, get up and brush the dust off your knees and move on. A temporary setback is not a defeat. For that matter, there's no such thing as defeat. Nothing is impossible in this world. If you have the will to win, you can achieve anything. And always remember that the whole world will help you when you want to achieve something. Just imagine a young girl who learned dancing when she was three-years old and whose greatest passion remains dancing. She loses one of her legs in an accident. Read on this true incident that took place almost 20 years ago and find out whether she gives up dancing or fights back to realize what she believes in:
Sudha Chandran, a classical dancer from India, was cut off in the prime of her career - quite literally - when her right leg had to be amputated after a car accident. Though the incident brought her bright career to a halt, she didn't give up.
In the painful months that followed, she met a doctor who developed an artificial limb made from vulcanized rubber filled with sponge. So intense was her desire that she decided to go back to dancing after she had been fitted with an artificial leg. Sudha knew that she believed in herself and could fulfill her dream, She began her courageous journey back to the world of dancing - learning to balance, bend, stretch, walk, turn, twist, twirl and finally dance.
After every public recital, she would ask her Dad about her performance. "You still have a long way to go" was the answer she use to get in return. In January 1984, Sudha made a historic comeback by giving a public recital in Bombay. She performed in such a marvelous manner that it moved everyone to tears while catapulting her to the number one position again. That evening when she asked the usual question her dad, he didn't say anything. He just touched her feet as a tribute to a great artiste. Sudha's comeback was such heart-warming that a film producer was inspired to capture the incident into a celluloid box office hit, `Mayuri.' When someone asked Sudha how she had managed to dance again, she said quite simply, "YOU DON'T NEED FEET TO DANCE."
