JOY OF ACCOMPLISHMENT

It is FREQUENTLY claimed that modern living is becoming increasingly hurried, harried – even frenzied – a picture of nervous tension and insecurity. In our world today, this insecurity is not an economic one. To some extent, of course, poverty and unemployment will always be with us; but it has never affected so small a fraction of the people. What then, is the cause of this frenzy?
Some wealthy sentimentalists, who glamorize the past without giving up their modern conveniences, blame the machine age for reducing workers to soulless cogs and for taking the joy of accomplishment out of labour. True enough; when a medieval cobbler made a pair of shoes with his unaided hands, they were entirely his won achievement. If he was a master of his craft, he could take pride in his work and rejoice in it, just as, according to the Bible, the Lord rejoiced after finishing the work of creation because “He saw that it was good.”
But this same cobbler had to work from dawn to dusk, just to keep body and soul together. Not only his shoemaking but the obtaining of raw material and the selling of his finished wares took long hours. And, as to his apprentices, they were unpaid, half starved, slaves. Nowadays, machines have eliminated most physical drudgery; transportation and communication are fast and easy: and division of labour increases efficiency. Within the writer’s won work experience the work week has been reduced from forty-eight hours to thirty-five or less – not counting the increased number of paid holidays and vacation time.
The only difficulty created by the concentration of work locations is the greater distance between home and factory office Aside from “rush hour traffic.” The frantic rush is directed more to places of entertainment them to serious pursuits.
Any compulsive action, be it drink, drugs, or just driving around at breakneck speed, indicates a lack, aching void, that is covered and dulled but needed healed by the misdirected passion. However, it seems doubtful that the dissatisfaction is due to the “soulless” monotony of industrial work. In the first place brain workers are just restless as manual workers, and in the second place one finds good, careful workers as sloppy ones even at conveyor belts. The good workers are usually the more contented ones, quite aside from their greater chance to be promoted.
Modern “capitalism” also offers indirect rewards Union workers can afford to feed, clothe, and house their families comfortably; to drive good cars and to send their children to institutes of higher learning. This too is an accomplishment worth rejoicing at.
Admittedly, a man’s soul may be starved in the midst of material comfort and drive him to seek satisfaction after working hours. From drink to drag races, from the building of one’s own summer cottage or speedboat to active sports, such are the activities lumped together as the frantic rush of our time. Frequently, these pursuits are neither frantic nor aimless. Proficiency in amateur sports or craftsmanship may be an accomplishment giving as much joy as professional excellence, and sometimes a successful hobby turns into a new and more congenial profession.
Those who recognize that their restlessness is not due to mere boredom but to an inner hungry may seeker knowledge instead of diversion The United State offers free libraries, evening classes, and extension courses to such seekers. An increasing number of workers, housewives, and oldsters are thus gaining access to the accumulated knowledge of the Age. Such studies bring various rewards. Some students look for increased earning capacity; others take pride in titles and diplomas; some seek knowledge for its own sake. Some of these true seekers may find that no amount of book knowledge appeases their inner hunger – just as the legendary Dr. Faustus confessed that his thorough mastery of all arts and sciences left him no wiser than before.
As you choose the way you will live this day, remember this. Accomplishment is truly a joy that's worth experiencing over and over again.

The joy of accomplishment is in the doing. There is nothing that can match the feeling of knowing that you are making a difference.

Working to get something done enables you to discover and develop your own unique strengths. It is a highly fulfilling way to spend your time.

Accomplishment never gets old or tiresome. For each accomplishment opens the door to a whole new level of exciting possibilities.

Right now, there are all kinds of things that can be done to add value to your world. Decide to be the person who will step forward to do them.

Though the outer rewards of accomplishment are many, accomplishment is also its own reward. Choose today to make the effort, to persist with purpose and commitment, and know the special joy that accomplishment brings.

Don't be afraid to give something for nothing

ONE DAY, at a great hospital, I watched a work of human devotion – doctors, nurses, and therapists lab technician to salvage the badly wounded of war. I was impressed. I must have had stars in my eyes when I met a neighbour and told him what I had seen.
He brought me down to earth fast. “Yes, but did you also look into the waste and incompetence there?” he demanded, “Why, you should hear some of the stories I’ve heard…..”
“Maybe I should, but now, if you don’t mind. I’m not an investigating commission, just a citizen who has seen something worthy of praise. Don’t I have the right to approve?”
“See here,” I accused him. “You act as though being enthusiastic is a sin or a crime.”
He smiled condescendingly. “Just don’t let it make a fool of you. Don’t be taken in. Remember, nothing’s as good as it seems.”
He spoke, I have since realized, not for himself but for our times. We are in the days of “yes, but,” the era of refusal to praise.
Great things are happening in every aspect of our lives; yet it is fashionable to minimize them. When you mention our shining achievements in science, someone will counter with, “Yes, but we’ve also developed the H-bomb.” Speak of what we have done in medicine and the retort is likely to be, “Yes, but you heard about the after-effects of the antibiotics?”
Something has gone sour only in America but elsewhere as well. We have lost the habit of the kind word. It is a state of mind which may well examine, not merely as a sign of national bad temper but of poor mental health.
How did we get to the point when we shun enthusiasm, distrust a normal pride? I believe it began in the 1920 when the dream of a world made safe for democracy was shattered. Out of the great disillusion came sordid skepticism. The word “debunk” was coined, became part of our language and thinking. With glee we dragged our heroes down smashing their toys. We asked about everything. “What’s wrong with the picture?”
There are imperfections in every picture. But there is often beauty and grandeur as well, which we have a right to admire without glancing furtively over our shoulders to make sure we’re not being taken in. For that is our dread – may we may be trapped by our own enthusiasms.
It is certainly true that time after time we have been taken in. Promoters have heaped their superlatives on much that is flashy and cheap: fads, ideas, personalities have been given such dazzling acclaim that often it is hard to tell true from false. And men we have trusted have proved to have feet of clay.
We do well to be cautious. But, having found what to us is admirable, why not have the courage to stay that it is? On the contrary, it seems popular to spread “the low-down,” the inside story about everything. That proves we’re in the know, a step ahead of the gullible who merely accept and admire.
I was speaking recently with a friend about a famous American who had been the head of an important educational institution.
“He was in a fog all the time he was there,” my friend said. “Never once knew the score.”
I didn’t agree. I told him one single thing which that man done, with-fanfare – a constructive achievement which had benefited all education.
He raised his eyebrows. “Come, come now. Has his publicity man been talking to you?”
Part of our population blindly accepts the propagandist’s picture of public figures – and another part just as blindly rejects.
A Swiss journalist who had reported world news in every country of Europe all through the 1950’s made a surprising observation to me. “I have met the heads of every government,” he said, “and have talked with all of them. I found each one entirely sincere, believing he was doing the best that the country could be done for his country.”
That isn’t the portrait at which we have become accustomed to look. The fumblings, the failures are held up to view, not the man-killing burdens, the grave decisions, and the straining sincerity. The man in the street – he who never had to make a big decision and therefore never had the chance to make a big mistake – plays grandstand quarterback to history. To him, no man in public life and authority remains a hero or even an honest tryer.
Then there’s Big Business. That too, gets its share of the sour grimaces. Is it cold, heartless, and impersonal? A small boy who wished to transport his dog on a train which had no baggage car thinks otherwise. His proudest possession is a railroad pass, written out for “Brownie” by a vice-president of the railroad.
And take that gross gross current slander against the whole human race, that no one does anything for anyone without an ulterior motive. A friend of mine befriended a stranger, an attractive, sensitive girl who was alone in the city and was in serious trouble. Her friendship consisted of standing by, feeding the girl now and then, seeing her frequently. The girl was grateful.
When her father finally came, she told him about her friend and was shocked at his answer. “Why did that do that? What does she expect to get out of it? No one ever does anything for you for nothing, you know.”
Few things are more rare than the man or woman who is wholly evil.
Every case of double-dealing and callousness can be matched by one, at least, of kindness and helpfulness. Is it naïve to mention them or to refuse to join the wailing chorus that calls the youth of today the “beat-up generation,” when it isn’t that at all?
“I wouldn’t exactly call myself. “I did my stint in the war like most of the guys. I came home; got married. We had our first baby when I got my job. We have since bought a nice house – not a mansion but it’s better one than my parents ever had. We’ve got two children, a car, and we figure we’re doing all right.”
Match him against the young woman whom I found with her head in her hands, whimpering. “It’s all so confused and hopeless. Your generation has left us a horrible mess.”
The last fifty years have not been altogether one of defeat and despair. There has been betterment. Our aged people enjoy the dignity of Social Security earned in their taxpaying lives. The right of each man to freedom from hunger has become part of our creed. Children no longer toil of factories and mines; their fathers work hours a week. Our schools and our health have improved; our homes are more comfortable.
True, criticism is healthy; but praise is even more so. Like the sun, it brings needed warmth in which we expand and grow. We begin to believe in ourselves because others believe in us and, as a consequence, we gain strength and faith.
Praise is the hand up the ladder. Without it we stumble and halt in half-achievements or defeat. It is the balm which takes off the rough edges of living and gives our existence grace and meaning.

NEXT WORLD & NEXT INCARNATION

Where will you be going when you leave this world? It’s very simple: you will be naturally drawn to those realms on which you focused your desires throughout your life. If your desires were elevated, you will go to realms of light; if they were mean and base on wickedness, you’ll make your way to the dark realm. Your destiny depends on your proper understanding of this no power will be able to stop you from reaching the realm to which your heart aspires – of this you may be absolutely certain.

Some many men and women reject the idea of a life after death, they believe in Heaven and they are not really sure if there is Life in Heaven. Heaven is a spiritual Realm and no physically body there, if there are people who live before us will have given us fact about that. All physical and tangible things are based on the planet earth. People who are not inclined spiritually don’t believe in REINCARNATION or INCARNATION because of this; they indulge in all sorts of dishonest and criminal acts to satisfy their greed! And they think they get by pretty well with their guile and calculations.
The truth is, they’re actually making quite mistaken, and because of their ignorance they are often setting themselves up for terrible suffering in the next world.

How to set our goals

Goal setting is process that may evoke, at first, some resistance from the emotional part of our being. Setting our own goal is a process of growth and may not be easy. It is advisable to give some time to the process, don’t rush it. It should be remembered that setting a goal is a definite step reaching the goal, and that the creative powers of universe will help bring the goal to us. That is why we must be certain that the goal is exactly what is desired

It is recommended that we set a goal for each of the more important parts of our life. This may vary from individual, but is suggested, as starting point, set goals in the following areas:

     1.    Professional / Career Goals/Mission in This stage of Life:

      These goals relate to growth in your profession or career, and the category also      pertains to goals during the parenthood years of life.

2.      Family/Romance/Life Companion Goals:

     Relate to your romantic and personal life.

3.   Social Goals:

Relate to your friendships, social contacts, social position and status.

4.      Health and Personal Beauty Goals:

Are related to any health improvement plans, diets, and exercise goals.

5. Financial Goals:

Relate to your present and future financial stability, investments, and savings.

6. Home/Residence/Transportation Goals:

Are related to acquisition or improvement of the home or car.

7. Spiritual Goals:

Relate to study, meditation, mission for humanity, and spiritual inclined study goals.

In goal setting, it is useful to visualize the desired final goal as being achieved, and yourself as enjoying the goal just achieved. Then, describe the visual image. Fir example:

Put It in Writing

      Some experts recommend keeping a goal book. Divide a composition book into sections, one for each category of goals. It is recommended that you update your goals frequently, reflecting your personal changes and your growth. Work frequently in revising your personal goals. This is a joint activity between your outer self and your inner self, and you will receive inspiration to direct your life and goals from the powerful internal source.

      Your goal book can include worksheets. In the beginning, it may be better to start using the worksheet on one thing at a time. The worksheet can be used on a daily or weekly basis. First, write your goals for the different categories. Secondly, visualize yourself having accomplished each one of the goals, in turn. Third, plan the actions for the day or week, and decide what will be done and in what order of priority. At the end of the day, evaluate your performance, and take corrective action, if necessary.

      In order to be beneficial, goal setting must be following by action. Action will follow if you keep your goal in mind, close to focus of your attention, and ask yourself:” what can I do today to bring me closer to this goal?”

      Spiritual inclined student will find, as many successful men and women have found already, that goals, once accepted by the inner mind, tend to attract the conditions that brings the goals to manifestation. The fundamental step is to feed the goal to the inner mind, and show the determination of the outer self to work towards the goal.

      Goal setting and planned action are powerful tools that can move you towards success and higher mastership of life. Just reading the theory and understanding it with all great laws and principles; they must be put to use in order to benefit from them. Start setting your goals now! Start actively deciding your future today!

   

                 

Start Activity Deciding Your Future Today

Manifesting Productive Future




THE PROCESS OF Goal Settings is recognized by today’s experts as one of the most important steps that a person takes towards success. Of course, success has different people. It is a matter of individual decision. For some, success is the fostering of wealth and ethical goals. Nevertheless, independently of what success means to each individual, goal settings is a key process that aligns the resources of the objectives and subjective aspects of mind towards the spiritual principals gives an individual a comprehension not only of the ultimate value and purpose in his own life, which, if in accord with the universal purpose, establishes a closer tie with the creative force of the universe as a whole.
Such a concept will contribute to the totality of individual health and well-being. A philosophy life which gives a value to stand on and a purpose to work toward is sometimes far more important than the immediate physical condition which will find our selves.
The understanding of self, of the peace of self, and the relationship of self to the rest of creation is the foundation upon which not only health is established, but it also the foundation upon is also the foundation for all activities of the individual, social and otherwise.
Desired goal. The central idea in goal setting is that success can be an achieved by actively deciding what is desired in the future into manifestation. The concept bears resemblance to what a spiritually inclined student know as the principles of Visualization and Mental Creation. In fact, the processes of goal setting and the designing of an action plan can be greatly enhanced when the principles of visualization are added.
It is apparent that most people do not activity decide their future. They see themselves as living defensively, trying to avoid and defend themselves against the negative consequences of external circumstances beyond control.
These individuals have been brought up to believe that their lives and future are decided are decided by external factors such as other people, bad luck, black magicians, extraterrestrials, the system, the boss, or even the devil. The truth is that people with this view of life are sometimes to busy living defensively and blaming the imaginary “ to take a hard look at themselves and through goal settings and planned activity, start deciding their own future and living a happier life.
For analogy let us consider two ships out on the high seas. One of the captains has been given the limited goal of keeping the ship afloat, avoiding storms, and avoiding collision with icebergs, rocks, and islands. The other captain is given the goal of reaching safely a faraway port. It is obvious that the first ship may succeed in staying afloat, but may not go anywhere worthwhile. It has no destination. The second ship will probably experience no more difficulties than the first and very likely make it to the port, safely, and in a short time will be ready for even better goal-more exciting ports.

In the analogy, the ship is our own life. The captain is the subconscious side of our mind. We set the goal. We can decide to pint this wonderful, creative power within us towards a worthwhile goal, towards an ever-expanding horizon, towards happiness and growth. Or we can waste this power by directing it at all. It is upon to us

MAN EMPOWERMENT

The part of true knowledge is the path that all true seekers of light should take. This is the part of the living words which would always bring about INSPIRATION. Inspiration could be considered as light itself. The basic is the true knowledge of SELF, its relationship to all else and its realization and attainment of its highest nature. It is the most rewarding one, it enlightens strengthens, protect and encourages steadfastness and steady sustainable progress. It truly empowers all true seekers. Despite the bountiful rewards very few consciously thread it at any point in time. This is a sad situation for humanity at this point as we are well all shortchanged of the empowerment it confers and the ease with which our collective progress would have been pursed.

we seekers of the living words have chosen the mystical path and must continue to explore all the ways for maximizing the benefits of our choice.

We are constantly working on ourselves to reach for greater heights of illumination, empowering ourselves with knowledge, Imagination and Intelligent action.

It will benefit the larger humanity for others persons to do the same for which we offer some insights addressing it along the following lines:

The nature of empowerment

The three fundamental truths of our reality

The framework of knowing

The nature and purpose and benefits of imaginations

Some fundamental orientations for stable and progressively coping with the

challenges of empowerment.

THE NATURE OF EMPOWERMENT

Power is the capacity and ability to make things happen. Humans believe that God made man in His image and likeness and thus within us by virtue of our assumption by God is the power of God. When this power within is brought into use in our daily living w talk of empowerment. Empowerment is about accepting and deploying our ability to create and experience our creation. As we think so we are and attract to ourselves the people, events and circumstances that provide us the greatest opportunity for experiencing our desires and thoughts.

THE THREE FUNDAMENTAL TRUTHS OF OUR REALITY

           

We knows that 3 fundamentally truths are sincerely and rationally irrefutable thus.

That God, the Creator exists

That Man, the Created exists 

That a definite relationship exists between God, the Creator and Man the Created

The quality of the third reality is dependent of the validity of our knowledge and understanding of the nature and purpose of God and Man. It is in this third reality that humans experience the greatest difficulties of agreement and a unified basis for progressive coexistence. Some persons formulate and live this relationship based on belief without the benefit of experience and intelligent reasoning. Some other base their on experience but with unintelligent and illogical reasoning. It is more empowering to base it on knowledge through experience, intelligence and logical reasoning:

 

 THE FRAME WORK OF KNOWING

To illuminate is to bring light and understanding to bear on an existence; a thing, an object or a concept. The process for achieving this is consistent and hard work on ourselves to unfold five fundamental levels phases of illumination as follows: Awareness which is perception through our objective faculties and or inner sense; Belief which is the unproven conclusion (logical or illogical) conviction about the nature or reality. It is usually a product of thinking and reasoning; Knowledge of what which is the product of experience and verification or proof; Understanding which is coming to irrefutable terms with the why and how of a particular reality and Wisdom which is product of extending understanding of reality holistically. This wisdom when put into use gives us tremendous power of influence in guiding the affairs of humanity.

          Living our lives on belief alone is not really EMPOWERING as it may bring us face to face with unintended consequences of illogical and ignorant actions. It is best to know through experience and understanding.

THE NATURE, PURPOSE & BENEFITS OF IMAGINATION

Imagination is the process of mentally and emotionally giving form and life to an entity or concept. It calls on our ability to form images of our desired outcome and vitalize them with life.

Its purpose is to enable us pre-play and replay. In pre-playing we create our future and connect it to our present; in replaying we recall and understand our past that led to our present.

Its benefits include the understanding of our past present and the energy to grow, develop and evolve to grandest experience of the good life that is sustainable.

OBJECTIFYING OUR IMAGINATIONS

We must bring our imaginations to reality to reinforce our empowerment. This requires taking steps to find the people, places and other resources needed for the objective realization of our imagination. If for example, you want to be a successful Manager Director or Chief Executive, you not only imagine yourself as one but take practical steps to actualize your desire. To imagine and not take further steps is not only not fruitful but to burden your heart, mind and soul with dissatisfaction.

GRATITUDE 

Feeling of gratitude means to take nothing for granted, but to always seek out and value the kind that will stand behind the action.  

To every action that takes place towards man, he needs to appreciate by showing gratitude and its always in feeling, an appreciating mood. Always arrange yourself for gratitude. Its show you believed and feeling what you have in your imagination has been done and thanking GOD for them in ADVANCE.

The Mind of Discerning

THERE ARE MANY subjects of special interest to wise and inclined students on the part to Happiness Wealth and Health , and the more versatile we become in our reading, and especially in our thinking, the broader will be our view of perspective of life. As a people who aspire for greatness, our thought should have a universal perspective of life rather than a narrow circumscribed one, which is often found in the majority of people.

This is all-encompassing search for knowledge is very important to the thinking mind. Self, the inner spiritual part of each of us, expresses its nature through perfectly mundane avenues of mental and physical behavior, and the more we develop the brain and mental aspects of consciousness, the greater the field for the expression of self.

For many, self is a prisoner within, with few or no avenues developed and trained to express the Master Within. This inner self is always seeking to guide and direct us. It is ever present like a still small voice urging us to follow its advice. This guiding influence will speak out strongly and firmly upon all the issues of life once we allow it to influence our thinking and as we seek its counsel in times of need.

We need not experience the darkness of despair-not knowing which way to turn, or who is a friend or foe-if we will listen to the voice of self with its subtle  influence and ever-wise guidance, which comes from the higher reaches of consciousness enlightened by the wisdom of the soul. Every day should be a day for experiencing the realization of the higher spiritual forces which are present within us.

The student of mysticism must also be very national and not accept the views and opinions of others merely because they have the ring of truth. There is much in spiritual literature which is often misleading. Mystical truth cannot be imparted to another. We must seek and then find it for ourselves. Such truth comes only from within, not without. Therefore, what we read and hear in mystical literature must be viewed with great discernment, and by contemplating it, the truth will be revealed from the innermost part of our own mind, and we will have the assurance and conviction of own beliefs.

Importance of Study and Mediation
In mystical literature, study and meditation are of prime importance to the understanding of higher values. The experiences of life teach us to look at all things wisely and well, and not to be misled by deceptive influences. So much in mystical literature is accepted on face value and in some particular cases the more irrational the claims, the more readily they are accepted. However, serious students soon learn that by looking with a critical eye at such claims, they can rely upon the judgment of the higher self which alone can rightly judge.

To the mystical students, the value of wide discursive reading cannot be underestimated. Nothing will broaden our outlook on life or give us a grater perspective of the world we live in than wide reading in the sciences, philosophies, and academic literature of the world. The mystical life is a voyage of self-discovery in which books of great value can advance and broaden our outlook into a mature vision of the world and create the vehicle for the grater expression of self.

“There is nothing as charming as the knowledge of literature which enable us to discover the infinity of things, the immensity of Nature, the heavens, the earth, and the seas. It is this that has rescued the soul from obscurity. To see all things above and below, first and last, and between both all that which furnishes us wherewith to live well and happily, and guides us to pass our lives without displeasure and without offence.” -Cicero
