Live the Life 'Fuller & Richer'


Do you have any idea how full your life can be? Do you have any idea how rich your life can be?
   If you're willing to stop, to reach inside, and to feel for a moment, you are likely to become aware that there is a significant, untapped potential inside of you.
   Though the principles are simple, putting them into practice in your daily life may not be easy at first. Yet if you choose to set clear intentions and follow through, the doors of transformation could very well open. You may be surprised at the positive changes that begin to unfold in your life.

What's Best : Serving the Greater Good

The Power of Choice:
   Every one of us makes countless choices every day. Every choice we make has an impact on our lives. Even insignificant choices can affect what we experience and how we feel. When hunger strikes, we can reach for a healthy, nutritious snack, or we can choose the sugar high of junk food. The more important the decision, the more profound its effect. For instance, how do I act towards that person who treated me badly? Do I generally choose to be passive, or do I actively set clear intentions and create what I want in my life? Every choice we make, however big or small, affects us in some way.

How Do You Make Choices?


What do you use to guide you in making choices and decisions throughout your day?
   If you're interested in living a richer, fuller life, there is a foundation upon which you can base all of your decisions which can make life better not only for you, but also for those around you. This foundation is to choose based on what's best – what's best for you and for all of us.
I will do my best to choose what's best for me and for all of us.
   Imagine a world where everyone made choices based on what's best. Imagine if every parent, spouse, friend, teacher, businessperson, and politician truly did their best to choose what's best for all involved in every decision they made. We would certainly live in a more caring, supportive world.

It's the Intention:
   "But how do I know what is really best?" you might ask. The answer is simple. It doesn't matter. What matters is not the choice you make, but rather the intention behind your choice. What matters is that whatever decision you make, you are clear in your intention of choosing based on what's best.
   If it later turns out that you made what appears to have been a bad choice, there's no need for guilt. Knowing that you did your best to choose with a sincere desire for what's best for all involved, your conscience stays clear and open. This then allows you to more easily learn from your mistakes, and to live with a clear heart and mind. 

What's Best for Me, Too!
   Choosing what's best does not mean you have to always sacrifice yourself for others. An overly exhausted mother can lose her temper easily. Some time off for this mother might seem selfish, yet in the long run, it can help her to be a better mother to her children. At times, giving to yourself is what's best for all involved.
Big Choices Make a Big Difference
   So as we move through each day of our lives, let us remember to include ourselves as we do our best to choose what's best for all of us.

Purpose of Life & its Intentions Everyone should have


Purpose is to experience life
in all of its many forms
as fully and consciously as possible,
and to bring positive change into this world.

Intention to treat yourself better,
to learn to love youself in all your humanity, 
and to remain conscious of who and what you really are.

Intention to provide a loving, nurturing home
for your children, grandchildren, friends and family 
with an atmosphere that honors and respects all life in harmony with nature.

Intention to do what is best for all,
including yourself, but not at the exclusion of others.

You should be calmer, gentler, kinder and 
more patient, tolerant and peaceful with each moment.

Intention to experience everything that you can 
as fully as you can with acceptance and love.

You must see all of this big, beautiful blue planet 
and meet many more of our people and other inhabitants of our Universe.

You intend to care deeply for the life force in everyone,
and welcome change for the good of all.

Bring a Change in Society by Yourself...


   A thought comes up in the mind when I think about the current state of the society. The society today is filled with evils which are eating up the society. Evils like rapes, dowry, gender discrimination, caste discrimination are the ones which are living a monopoly in the society. In such a situation, the society needs its individuals; those individuals who understand what is correct and what is not.

   I believe the youth of the society are the ones who truly has the potential to bring about a change in the society. It cannot be ignored that whatever is the plight of society today, it is because of us individuals. We alone are responsible for its degrading state. Elders are not respected, they are sent to old age homes, people are exploited based on their caste, a wide gap has developed between the rich and the poor.

   All this is a result of economic inequality and unequal distribution of power within the society. Corruption is one of the reasons that has led to this state and environment in the society. Hence, it is time that every individual contributes his part to the welfare of the society.

   Change has to start from our own homes. We need to stop being biased to people based on their caste. Every person has equal right to live a healthy and a successful life. We need to respect the feelings and preferences of every person. Start right away. Stop falling down in the hands of corruption. Start today itself by respecting a being kind and humble to the servant or the maid in the house.

   After all, they are also human beings. They have equal right to live and have their opinion in life. They should be given equal opportunity to contribute in the society. The day all this becomes a reality, that day we will truly become a responsible individual in the society. Only when we implement it on our own selves, then we have the right to make an attempt to help others understand the same. We definitely cannot change anyone. We can let them know what is right and what is wrong.
