“It’s difficult to believe in yourself because the idea of self is an artificial construction. You are, in fact, part of the glorious oneness of the universe. Everything beautiful in the world is within you.” Russell Brand

I remember my first encounter with the so called stars signs was when I really intently started reading the newspaper. I was about 11 years old, and the sole reason I started reading the newspaper was cause my school principal wanted each of us to have an interesting article to share every morning at the assembly. I always ended up being chosen to read out my finds. In one of those so called finds one day i read about the Star Libra. Suddenly it was the talk of the school and It was the most happening thing to talk about. Everybody started talking about the attributes each of us had and kept teasing one another with the negative traits of each of these Star Signs.

I dont know why one human being would consider another human beings life so cheap and unimportant. In my opinion a ‘true human being’ cannot and would not do something like that. I just cant fathom it. Continue reading

Shortly before George Bernard Shaw died, someone approached and asked, “You have known all the great men of your time, who have shaped the destiny of the world. Now, if you could be born again and re-live your life, as any one of your choice, who would it be?” Without a moments hesitation he said “If I could re-live my life in the role of any person I desired, I would want to be the man George Bernard Shaw could have been, but wasnt“.
It is only when we can look back and think, that we become aware, how much we have missed over the years, by not waking up to realize our own full potential and for not changing ourselves, while we could, to the highest level of our capabilities. Continue reading
