~surviving the tides of life as a working mom~

Archives for June, 2010

It’s been a while since I’ve been up until beyond normal working hours with any obligatory work to complete before the next few hours perfunctorily elapse. Although this can never be a particularly pleasant situation to find oneself in, it does bring back with undeniable fondness memories of a time when such situations were a way of life. Inspired perhaps by the innate tendency of an IB student to do anything apart from the necessary task, I venture in this new note to offer my infinite wisdom on the various dimensions of college life 
Let me begin with taking note of the sheer enormity of college . Not in terms of physical size, but rather in terms of the magnitude of students that inhabit the institute. 85% of the faces I see in college are unfamiliar, and will remain as such, because the chances of my ever seeing them again are scarce. This brings with it an inescapable feeling of anonymity when not surrounded by your cozy circle of friends. This has many advantages as well, allowing room for solitude that facilitates the ability to sit comfortably in a corner of the college with your headphones plugged in remaining blissfully unconcerned about the happenings in your immediate environment. Nevertheless this still comes across as a change from my previous centres of education – and is one which I hope I’m slowly getting used to 
Another interesting feature is the presence of countless ‘clubs’ and other intra college organizations. While extra curriculars formed an important part of school life, it was always school organized or sponsored. Seeing students seize the initiative to organize this aspect of education is interesting, and at times amusing. Naturally the presence of so many clubs also gives rise to inter and intra club politics which can be both exciting and disillusioning. 
A very interesting aspect of college life is also the lackadaisical attitude to time. While lateness is adopted as a natural way of life by students, teachers too seem to be catching onto this trend – which comes as just a wee bit of a surprise. Apart from this learning to find your way around the rude clerical staff, and not getting put off by the whistle happy watchman are important are imperative for general peace of mind 
The main thing that I’ve realized about college however is that here, you are who you choose to be. There’s nobody standing behind you, waiting to shove a red hot iron rod up your rear end should you fail to perform. Yet the opportunities are out there waiting for you to seize them, and deciding which way you want to go can be an important test of character. 
With all that said, I think it’s time I logged off now. Before signing off I must say I’ve been rather amused by the recent Nano plant in Bengal controversy. While I’m sure the matter is dead serious – watching Mamta Bannerjee zealously screaming in Bengali while addressing a seemingly hoodwinked audience is always worth a watch. If you don’t know what I’m yapping about you clearly need to watch the news more often.

Inspired By a Self Miracle 

“Everyday Miracle”, is what you have to worship and then you will get enthused by your own “Self Miracle” at once. I assure you that. If your eyes and your mind are open and positive, then things are happening.

Learn from People – Change Your Life 

Find persons, you meet, that has achieved even the smallest of self improvement, and learn where they go from that point in life. Is it a friend, is it a coworker. Be impartial and just study and experience the construtive energy. At this point I will not explain what a “Self Miracle” actually is, you will know.

“Safe Platform” the Mind power 

The ones that has found their Self Miracle has formed a “Safe Platform” and from that moment they do not go back. You know absolutely what you have achieved. You have no need to talk to anybody about what has happened to you, or put any evidence in the front. Everything is clear. The”Safe Platform” is a part of your life. The “Safe Platform” is bigger and more eternal as your life has its correct development¨right steps forward.

Change Your Life and Study Children

The simplest way is to study children, they have to change their lives every single moment. They are learning a great deal. They see the force, or better, they see what others do and they like what is happening. I do not at this position say it is about attraction it is more of a must. Self Miracle is a need and is a self improvement, study children’s development in body, mind and soul.

Awaiting the Results

The best part now, is to be aware of that your “Self Miracle” is already started your mindset to be stabilized. As you change your life you might not know what everything is about. This is so marvelous and wonderful when you are unaware and everything is going your way.

Nothing is Happening – All is Happening

It is impossible to force life and force everything towards your self-control. I often tell people to be in acceptance, and keep on asking for the self improvement. It is important to just ask and not be too exact, in this part of life when you, yes you, are learning from life.

Realize that “everything happens for the very best.” Then you and life will find the “Safe Platform” and you can go from there.

Life Inspires You and You Can Change Your Life for Good

Now you get inspired, enthusiastic and “suddenly” your life is creating itself right in front of you, unbelievable, what you want are happening and it is fast and quick. It is just as you wanted it to be when you change your life.

Tiny Modifications Might Change Your Life

Follow, just follow and if needed, do some small modifications and change your life. Now you can believe that this is not what you want and you wish that things will not take place as fast as it does.

But it is ok, to feel like that. There is a reason for you, now to understand your life as it move along. Life has now its tempo and it is like see the sun every morning, no one else is as beautiful as you right now.

Life is Yours to Live

Three answers for you to find, as you study your everyday challenge of your mindset comparing with “everyday persons.”

1. Why did this Self Miracle become theirs to attract? (Discuss their needs)

2. Where did they start? How could they get into the flow? (Their actions)

3. Why were these persons “not pushed” into his or hers “Self Miracle?” (Discuss mind power)

Finding the answers are, again, to be neutral and be positive. Find the emotion inside yourself that you can compare with and it can be a sense of joy.

Tip: “Think of split second in life when you were content and thrilled with yourself.” Everyone has such moments. Let that positive feeling and memory lift you up.

Are you ready…
…to step into your greatness?

Inspiration is not only for a select few. It is available to you. Just as you have amazing potential and the seeds of greatness within you, you have the spiritual gifts and power available to transform this potential of you into the reality of you.

Inspiration is one of the gifts and powers shared by people who have stepped into their greatness. Great leaders are an example of this. They are both inspired and inspiring. Inspiration is an aspect of what makes a great leader both great and a leader.

“How do we inspire ourselves to greatness?” asked Morgan Freeman as Nelson Mandela in the film “Invictus.” This film that takes place in 1995 speaks to a triumph of the spirit.

Nelson Mandela, then president of South Africa asked that inspiring question to the captain of the national rugby team. They each found a way to inspire themselves, others around them and their country. The result was beyond what the great majority would have imagined.

Inspire means to be “in Spirit.” To inspire is to infuse with life. Inspiration is an animating and exalting influence that quickens and energizes the mind and heart and impels you to be and to act.

Surrender to Something Greater Than You

“How do we inspire ourselves to Greatness?” You inspire yourself to Greatness by surrendering to something greater than you.

That which is greater than you is what many call God, a Higher Power, Spirit, the Divine, Source or your Higher Self. This is the Spiritual Power that empowers who you are and what you do.

Develop a relationship with Spirit. Ask for inspiration to “be” what you are here to be and “do” what you are here to do. Ask for guidance with anything and everything, no matter how big or how small. Ask any and all the time. Trust that inspiration will come, listen and follow when it does.

That which is greater than you is also your vision, your purpose, the people you touch and the impact you are here to have in the world. Keep your vision and the spirit and energy of it alive in your heart and mind, but let go of trying to do it by yourself.

Ask each day, “Who can I best serve? How can I best serve?” and listen. Do what is yours to do and get help with the rest. Be true to yourself and your ideals.

As you begin to rely on that which is greater than you, your being changes such that inspiration becomes a naturally working part of who you are. You will be inspired with ideas, actions and abilities beyond what you have imagined. You will be guided to be and will become greater than you have been, and exceed your expectations of what’s possible for you.

As you surrender to and rely on something greater than you, you will find yourself inspired to Greatness!

Put yourself in the way of inspiration!
