Points on how to improve yourself..

This is something I have read from somewhere.I personally liked it so thought to share so that anyone who can't reach to that site, read from here..

Personality:
1. Don't compare your life to others'. You have no idea what their journey is all about.
2. Don't have negative thoughts of things you cannot control. Instead invest your energy in the positive present moment
3. Don't over do; keep your limits
4. Don't take yourself so seriously; no one else does
5. Don't waste your precious energy on gossip
6. Dream more while you are awake
7. Envy is a waste of time. You already have all you need..
8. Forget issues of the past. Don't remind your partner of his/her mistakes of the past. That will ruin your present happiness.
9. Life is too short to waste time hating anyone. Don't hate others.
10. Make peace with your past so it won't spoil the present
11. No one is in charge of your happiness except you
12. Realize that life is a school and you are here to learn.
Problems are simply part of the curriculum that appear and fade away like algebra class but the lessons you learn will last a lifetime.
13. Smile and laugh more
14. You don't have to win every argument. Agree to disagree.

Community:
15. Call your family often
16. Each day give something good to others
17. Forgive everyone for everything
18. Spend time with people over the age of 70 & under the age of 6
19. Try to make at least three people smile each day
20. What other people think of you is none of your business
21. Your job will not take care of you when you are sick. Your family and friends will. Stay in touch.

Life:
22. Put GOD first in anything and everything that you think, say and do.
23. GOD heals everything
24. Do the right things
25. However good or bad a situation is, it will change
26. No matter how you feel, get up, dress up and show up
27. The best is yet to come
28. Get rid of anything that isn't useful, beautiful or joyful
29. When you awake alive in the morning, thank GOD for it
30. If you know GOD you will always be happy. So, be happy.

Power of Imagination

Imagining and identifying self improvement areas are my hobbies. I am working on improving my interpersonal skills and leadership skills. So, I am reading many books nowadays.

Recently, I came across NLP Garden technique and I am personally doing it every day.

The way I do it is simple and mentioned below:

•   I close my eyes in silent place and before starting imagination, in order to come in rhythm, I start counting reverse from 100 to 1.Once reverse counting is done then start imagining.
•   I start from my home (which is on first floor) kissing my 5 year old son and then move out of my home. 
•  I come down to my society premises which is having temple, take blessings of god and then move out of my society gate. 
• I walk on service road, then on western express highway to fly over on same and then I enter the garden of my imagination. 
• In garden , I sit beneath a tree and then meet 3 great people of Indian history - Mahatma Gandhi, Pandit Neharu and Bhagat Singh. 
• I have discussion with them related to humanity, nation and can you believe related to any problem I am facing... 
• After meeting is over, I go to the temple in garden, pray there and then go to lush green portion of garden and sleep in center of garden looking at sky..which gives me a feeling of abundance just like sky.. 
•  Throw  all your stress and tension out of garden. 
•   Then I leave garden and perform exactly reverse steps to reach home which I had followed for reaching garden.

 This helps me in self enlightenment, exploring my sub-conscious mind, refuels all my energy, keeps me cool, calm and composed...more than this, this process makes me think like great leaders of our country i.e. whenever I am in a problematic situation and I need to take decision, I think how these great leaders might have behaved in this situation and this helps me in decision making!!
