BE YOUR BEST LEADER


Life is a journey. it is not a race. it has to be enjoyed at one's own pace with opportunities that we create for ourselves during this journey without disturbing the inner peace.

Life becomes a race when during our journey we start comparing ourselves with others. All comparisons are odius and tend to rob you of your inner tranquility.

Life becomes a rat race when during our journey we keep comparing our achievements/accumulations with those of others and compromise our values also to add more to the kitty.

I've learned....
That the Lord didn't do it all in one day.
Having lived a reasonably contented
life, I was musing over what a person should strive for to achieve happiness. I
drew up a list of a few essentials which I put forward for the readers’
appraisal.

1. First and foremost is GOOD HEALTH. If you do not enjoy good health you can never be
happy. Any ailment, however trivial, will deduct from your
happiness.  

2. Second, A HEALTHY
BANK BALANCE
. It need not run
into crores but should be enough to provide for creature comforts and something
to spare for recreation, like eating out, going to the pictures, travelling or
going on holidays on the hills or by the sea. Shortage of money can be only
demoralizing. Living on credit or borrowing is demeaning and lowers one in
one’s own eyes.  

3. Third, A HOME OF
YOUR OWN
. Rented premises
can never give you the snug feeling of a nest which is yours for keeps that a
home provides: if it has a garden space, all the better. Plant your own trees
and flowers, see them grow and blossom, cultivate a sense of kinship with
them.  

4. Fourth, AN UNDERSTANDING
COMPANION
, be it your spouse
or a friend. If there are too many misunderstandings, they will rob you of your
peace of mind. It is better to be divorced than to bicker all the
time.  

5. Fifth, LACK OF ENVY towards those who have done better than you in life;
risen higher, made more money, or earned more fame. Envy can be very corroding;
avoid comparing yourself with others.  

6. Sixth, DO NOT ALLOW OTHER
PEOPLE
to descend on you for gup-shup. By the
time you get rid of them, you will feel exhausted and poisoned by their
gossip-mongering.

7. Seventh,
CULTIVATE SOME HOBBIES which can bring you a sense of fulfilment, such as
gardening, reading, writing, painting, playing or listening to music. Going to
clubs or parties to get free drinks or to meet celebrities is criminal waste of
time.  

8. Eighth, every morning and evening, devote 15 minutes to INTROSPECTION. In the morning, 10 minutes should be spent on
stilling the mind and then five in listing things you have to do that day. In
the evening, five minutes to still the mind again, and ten to go over what you
had undertaken to do.  


RICHNESS is not Earning More, Spending More  Or
Saving  More, but … 

 

"RICHNESS IS WHEN YOU NEED NO MORE"
Phrases of Wisdom!
1. Life would be perfect if :-
anger had mute button,
mistake had back button,
hard times had fast forward button and
good times had pause button.

7  Principles of an Eagle
1. Eagles fly alone at high altitude and not with sparrows or with
  other small birds. No other bird can go to the height of the eagle.
  When Moses went to commune with God on the mountain, he
  left the crowd at the foothills. Stay away from sparrows and
  ravens.

Eagles  fly with eagles.




7  Principles of an Eagle
2.  Eagles have strong vision.   They have the  ability to focus on
    something up to five kilometers away. When an eagle sites
    his prey, he narrows his focus on it and sets out to get it. No
    matter the obstacle, the
    eagle will not move his focus from the prey until he grabs it.
   
Have  a vision and remain  focused no matter what  the  
   obstacle and you will succeed.




7  Principles of an Eagle
3.  Eagles do not eat  dead things. They feed  only on fresh prey.
    Vultures eat dead animals, but eagles will not.

Be  careful with what you  feed your eyes and  ears with, especially  in movies and on  TV. Steer clear of  outdated and old information.   Always do your  research well.




4.  Eagles love the storm.   When clouds gather,  the eagles get excited.  The eagle uses the  storm's winds to lift  it  higher.  Once  it finds the
wing  of the storm, the  eagle uses the raging  storm to lift him  above the clouds.
This  gives the eagle an  opportunity to glide  and  rest its wings.
In  the meantime all the  other birds hide in  the leaves and branches  of the trees. 
We  can use the storms  of life to rise  to greater heights.
Achievers  relish challenges and  use them profitably.

7  Principles of an Eagle




7  Principles of an Eagle
5.  The Eagle tests before  it trusts. When a  female eagle meets a  male and they want  to mate, she flies  down to earth with  the male pursuing her  and she picks a  twig.  She flies  back into the air  with the male pursuing  her. Once she has  reached a height high  enough for her, she  lets the twig fall  to the ground and  watches it as it  falls. The male chases  after the twig. The  faster it falls, the  faster he chases it.   
He  has to catch it  before it falls to  the ground.  He  then brings it back  to the female eagle.
  The female eagle grabs the twig and flies to a higher altitude and then drops the twig for the male to chase. This goes on for hours, with the height increasing until the female eagle is assured that the male eagle has mastered the art of catching the twig which shows commitment. Then and only then, will she allow him to mate with her.
Whether  in private life or  in business, one should  test commitment of people  intended for partnership.




6.  When ready to lay  eggs, the female and  male eagle identify  a place very high  on a cliff where  no predators can reach.   The male flies  to earth and picks  thorns and lays them  on the crevice of  the cliff, then flies  to earth again to  collect twigs which   he lays  in  the intended nest.   He flies back to  earth and picks thorns  laying them on top  of the twigs. He  flies back to earth  and picks soft grass  to cover the thorns.When  this first layering  is complete the male  eagle runs back to  earth and picks more  thorns, lays them on  the nest; runs   back to get grass   it on top of  the thorns, then   plucks  his  feathers  to complete  the  nest. The thorns on  the outside of the  nest protect it from  possible intruders. Both  male and female eagles  participate in raising  the eagle family. She  lays the eggs and  protects them; he builds  the nest and hunts.  During the time of  training the young ones  to fly, the mother  eagle throws the eaglets  out of the nest.  Because they are scared,  they jump into the  nest again.Next, she  throws them out and  then takes off the  soft layers of the  nest, leaving the
7  Principles of an Eagle




6.  the thorns bare. When  the scared eaglets again  jump into the nest,  they are pricked
by  thorns.  Shrieking and  bleeding they jump out  again this time wondering  why the mother and  father who love them  so much  are torturing  them.  Next, mother  eagle pushes them off  the cliff into the  air.As they shriek in  fear, father eagle flies  out and catches them  up on his back  before they fall and  brings them back to  the cliff. This goes  on for sometime until  they start flapping  their wings. They get  excited at this newfound  knowledge that they  can fly.
The  preparation of the nest  teaches us to prepare  for changes; The preparation  for the family teaches  us that active participation  of both partners leads  to success; The being  pricked by the thorns  tells us that sometimes  being too comfortable  where we are may  result into our not  experiencing life, not  progressing and not  learning at all.   The thorns of life  come to teach us  that we need to  grow, get out of  the nest and live  on. We may not  know it but the  seemingly comfortable and  safe haven may have  thorns.
The  people who love us  do not let us languish  in sloth but push  us hard to grow  and prosper.Even in  their seemingly bad  actions they have good   intentions for us.
7  Principles of an Eagle




7. When an Eagle  grows old, his feathers 
become weak and  cannot take him as fast as he 
should.  When he feels weak and about to die,  he retires to a place far away in  the rocks. While there, he plucks out  every feather on his body until he  is completely bare. He stays in this  hiding place until he has grown new  feathers, then he can come out.

We  occasionally need to  shed off old habits  & items that burden  us without adding to  our lives..

competition. Don't be a duck. Be an eagle. Ducks quack and complain.
 An Eagle soars  above the crowd.''
