The Magical Power of Appreciation

-

Lord Kriskna, the charioteer of Arjun in the battle of Kurukshetra (Mahabharat) constantly praised, horrified Arjun because he gave up just before the war was about to start. On seeing his relatives and a huge army in the battle field, he almost lost his confidence at all levels. Krishna continuously made him to believe in himself and his inner powers. Though pandavas were very less in in number, but they could win the battle. It was just an appreciation that made Arjun not only to get up but also to win the war.

On the other hand Shalya (maternal uncle of Nakul and Sahadev, also the king of Madra) was the charioteer of Karna who was not less than Arjun in any aspect instead held a chance to defeat Arjun. Shalya constantly depriciated Karna and reminded him of his short comings. Also, uninterruptedly appriciated Pandavas. His last moment depreciation made Karna to lose the war while he was using Nagastra.

Same place, same time, even the same mother but one won the war due to appreciation and the other lost due to lack of appreciation.

Yes, appreciation is that booster and rejuvinator, which can fill life to a lifeless, make a dumb to debate, make a deaf to create symphonies, make a lame to hoist a flag on Everest, and what not !

Appreciation is that positive vibration force, which allows one to think and do beyond his/her thought, capacity and fact. Yes, it really changes the mere dull facts into twinkling, glittering, shining miracles. There are numerous stories, facts, incidents thet tell us about the important role that appreciation plays in our lives. 

Everybody lives a life whether simple, normal or special, appreciation gives positive aim and direction to life. If it is soulful by the giver and taker, it turns into dedication definitely. And, dedication is that essence which adds meaning to our lives. It helps us to draw away from selfishness, misery and being conservative.
Appreciation fills us with positivity, power and confidence. It turns us soulful and blissful, as we too always try to give the best and bring the best out of our surroundings and the people living in it. Appreciation also helps us with faith, truthfulness and confidence in us. It helps us to trust and appreciate others and thus helps us in expanding our horizons and making the world a better place to live in.

Guide Your Mind

Mind is that important material part of your life which if not controlled by you, will control you. It’s not an organ that you may dissect and reform. It’s an important essence of your life which turns your thought process in to a set called mind-set. After knowing you thoroughly people learn and interpret your future steps correctly. Because after the development of your mind it follows a path or a direction. The energy form may be positive or negative, but the energy level is equal on a scale, irrespective of the form. The only difference is that one is constructive and the another one is destructive. This is actually responsible for defining and drawing your personality and character. Personality and character are the either phases of the coin, both are complementary to each other. A positive personality or a positive character actually bears a positive mindset and vice versa. And the mind is actually called the “Guided mind”. A guided mind hears you, follows you and helps you to co...

Are You a Pious Soul ?

” An immortal idol – soul in your body temple.” Your belongings, my possessions, your property, my rights, your luxuries, my share, your house, my land…. These are some things, everyday we start with either in thoughts or in conversations. But we never are versed with the fact that today or anyday is our last day… not only this, no one knows that the coming moment is going to be the last for anyone. Over and above all, whatever has been gathered under a piece of roof – either by hard work, dedication, sweat, brain or by being cunning, calculative, power and pride- is not allowed to carry along with, even as a trace of our earnings. Every material has to be left for others. Then a question arises – Why did we come to the world ?, From where did we come and where have we to go ? If body is left here, then what was it which made it mobile and mortal? The answer is  SOUL. You are you, only till the soul resides in the body given to you. Once it travels further, body is of no use to it....
