Nothing can dim the light which shines from within

Love life. Engage in it. Give it all you’ve got. Love ut with a passion because life truly does give back, many times over, what you put into it.

I can be changed by what happens to me. But I refuse to be reduced by it.

If you don’t like something, change it. If you can’t change it, change your attitude.

I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.

The desire to reach for the stars is ambitious. The desire to reach hearts is wise.

You may kill me with your hatefulness, but still, like air, I’ll rise.

Love recognises no barriers. It jumps hurdles, leaps fences, penetrates walls to arrive at its destination full of hope.

There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you.

A wise woman wishes to be no one’s enemy; a wise woman refuses to be anyone’s victim.

We delight in the beauty of the butterfly, but rarely admit the changes it has gone through to achieve that beauty.

If you’re always trying to be normal, you will never know how amazing you can be.

You may encounter many defeats but you must not be defeated.

My mission in life is not merely to survive, but to thrive; and to do so with some passion, some compassion, some humour, and some style.

You alone are enough. You have nothing to prove to anybody.

When someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time.

Try to be a rainbow in someone’s cloud.

Develop enough courage so that you may stand for yourself snd then stand up for somebody else.

When you learn, teach. When you get, give.

Success is liking yourself, liking what you do and liking how you do it.

The Power of Relationships Over Exercise

One of the most striking things about sport is that amid the Darwinian battle for supremacy, individuals and teams slugging it out to be the best, we witness a rare and powerful beauty.

if you observe closely, you can witness patterns of different strategies, tactics and mental behaviours across different sports. Neuroscientists have not been able to figure out the complete details of the psychology and motivation behind sports but we do see some very interesting trends.

Playing Sports Presents A Ton Of Winning & Losing Behaviours

Across sports, you may observe individuals who are more motivated when they fail at the game. On the other hand, you’d also be able to find individuals who quit when they fail. There have been many examples such as David Beckham who performed extra-ordinary after his failure at 1998 world cup. Likewise, you would be able to find teams that play like one mind. Where everybody takes care of each other and they win and lose together. On the other hand, you would be able to find teams that often do not behave as well. Each player seems to be playing for the glory of his or her own self.

Success Vs Failure, Cooperation Vs Individualism

Sport is a powerful vehicle for exploring these themes because its psychological factors that are often the difference between victory and defeat at the highest level.

Have you observed how sometimes, the sporting events elevate your emotions, leave fans into tears, make the crowd excited? That’s the beauty of sports and it often involves a designed structure to achieve that.For example, when you see Lionel Messi or Ronaldo playing, or LeBron James jumping to take a shot or even when watching a wrestling event, there is a designed genius to the event that resonates with you and gives you an immersive experience of the event.

Sporting Events Often Involves An Invisible Gunius

There are some common qualities almost all the great athletes share. Some of these are: <ul><li>Determination</li><li>Courage</li><li>Resilience</li></ul>And the ability to cope pressure and perform under it. Some athletes leave such an impact on the world that they turn into cultural icons. For example, we all know about “Muhammad Ali”, “Pele”, and “Don Bradman”. These athletes have been turned into cultural icons because they left an impact on the world.

Turning Athletes Into Icons

Ali was, indeed, beautiful. In the way he moved, the way he talked, and in the high-voltage charisma that seemed to flow whenever he stood near a TV camera, he redefined the nature twentieth-century celebrity. He could box, too.

Learn the greatest lessons from professional athletes learned in a series of interviews conducted by Matthew Syed.

What can Roger Federer teach us about the secret of longevity? What do the All Blacks have in common with improvised jazz musicians? What can cognitive neuroscientists tell us about what happens to the brains of sportspeople when they perform? And why did Johan Cruyff believe that beauty was more important than winning? Matthew Syed, the 'Sports Journalist of the Year 2016', answers these questions and more in a fascinating, wide-ranging and provocative book about the mental game of sport. How do we become the best that we can be, as individuals, teams and as organisations? Sport, with its innate sense of drama, its competitive edge, its psychological pressures, its sense of morality and its illusive quest for perfection, provides the answers.

The Greatest

Dreams are the language of God.

"At a certain point in our lives, we lose control of what's happening to us, and our lives become controlled by fate." That's the world's greatest lie

World's Greatest Lie

"That's the principle that governs all the things". In alchemy, it's called the Soul of the World. When you want something with all your heart, that's when you are closest to the Soul of the World. It's always a positive force.

Soul Of The World

If you can concentrate always on the present, you'll be a happy man. You'll see that there is life in the desert, that there are stars in the heaven. Life will be party for you, a grand festival, because life is the moment we're living right now.

The Present

When you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it.

The alchemist 

“Waste no time arguing about what a good man should be, be one.” Actions speak louder than words, let your actions do the talking instead of spending your time, debating on what it means to be a good person.

Think, before you argue.

“Waste no time arguing about what a good man should be, be one.” - Marcus Aurelius

History

Marcus Aurelius said this 2 millennium’s ago:

Lord Krsna has a message for us. We're not the body, we're spiritual beings. In pure spiritual understanding there are no designations of race, greed, color 🎨 or sex. From this non sectarian platform, the whole world can achieve relationship unity and peace. Without this understanding, the happiness we seek will never be within our reach, individually or collectively.

The human race has descended to the status of the dogs, who are habituated to barking as soon as they come upon another set of dogs who happen to hail from another quarter. We can't conceive of a greater degradation of the human being than when he raise a hue and cry as soon as he sees another human being who does not happen to belong to his quarter or his religious denomination.

Introduction

When a nation proudly turns away from God and concentrates on worldly success and prosperity, it meets its doom. What is essential today is not so much the rehabilitation of schools and libraries or shops and factories but the rehabilitation of a man; we must re-create man if we are to create a new world community.

Materalistic Growth Isn't Success

We cannot approach the Absolute Truth by our poor fund of knowledge, but out of His own mercy the Absolute Truth reveals himself by his own appearance. In the darkness of night, the sun cannot be obliged to appear, even by the power of our highest technology.

Poor Fund Of Knowledge

Every morning when the sun rises, we see that vast mass of matter as if it were just a small disc. Of course, the sun is much larger than the earth on which we live, and thus every morning of every day our self-reliant ocular vanity is put to the test and reduced to absurdity. Our eyes can gather knowledge only under certain favorable conditions. We can't see things that are too far away from us, nor can we penetrate the darkness, nor can we see things that are very close to the eye, such as OUR OWN EYELIDS. Even though we have wonderful eyes, we can't see things in their true perspective.

Transcendental Knowledge

Whatever we are experiencing at the present moment is totally conditional and is therefore subject to mistakes and incompleteness.Because we are always busy in the discharge of our worldly duties, generally we do not wish to understand any philosophy except our mundane philosophy of the stomach and allied subjects. We have extended many branches and sub-branches of this philosophy of the belly in various directions, and thus we have hardly any time to understand the philosophy of gaining eternal life --- for which we are perpetually struggling, life after life.

Mundane Philosophy Of Stomach

If we want to perceive a certain subject in the darkness, we can't use just our eyes: we have to rely on some other means to aid our perception. Only if somebody bringsa light into the darkness is it truly possible to see things as they are. The knowledge that we gather by our education in the 🎒📚 schools and colleges may help us temporarily in the study of some particular subject in the present 🎁 span of life, but this education can't satisfy our eternal need for transcendental knowledge, for which we hanker life after life, day after day, hour after hour.

Mundane Education Can't Help You

Lord Jesus Christ appeared as the son of Godhead, Muhammad introduced himself as the servant of Godhead and Lord Caitanya presented himself as the devotee of Godhead. Such messiahs were of the same opinion about one thing: there can be no permanent peace and prosperity in this mortal world. All of them agreed that we have to go to a separate world, where peace and prosperity have their real being. Even Lord Buddha and Sankaracarya never preached that there is any possibility of attaining eternal peace and prosperity in this material world.

No Permanent Peace In Mortal World Of Ours

We need to establish a relationship with a preceptor who can really open our eyes and lift us from the clutches of nescience. The Upanishads and allied scriptures ordain that one must approach with awe and reverence the feet of a spiritual master who is well versed in all the scriptures and who has attained perfection in transcendental knowledge. One must attain the disciplic succession, the spiritual line. Attainment of spiritual perfection can never be possible without undergoing spiritual discipline.

Spiritual Discipline Is Necessary

Unless one tries to solve the problem of regaining one's eternal life, there can be no peace whatsoever, either in this life or in life after death. That is the supreme teaching of Bhagavad-Gita spoken by Lord Shri Krishna.

We modern men supposedly have no time to get into the details of the philosophy of Bhagavad-Gita, even in the midst of our ordinary daily duties. But just to teach us, Arjuna pondered the philosophy of Bhagavad-Gita at a time when even a moment seemed impossible to spare i.e. at the the time of war. All this he did for the sake of people like us. But attaining transcendental knowledge doesn't mean renouncing the duties of our ordinary life. After Arjuna had understood the philosophy of Bhagavad-Gita, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Sri Krsna, never advised him to give up his ordinary duty.

Bhagavad Gita Doesn't Teach About Renouncing Our Duties
