A few months ago a couple of friends tricked me into running with them. Tricked. It’s more of a jog, really, they said. Hucksters. I am many things, but athletic is not one of them and the times I was forced to run in gym class were some of the darkest, most tortured, most terrible […]

Bushes have a lesson for us to take,
Lesson of togetherness,
Lesson that unity is strength,
Sleek and slender leafy stems are rendered toughness, when bunched into dark cloudy shades,
They can form a cover for you ,when you hide behind them,
But they hurt you when you cross them from in between,
They break but don’t separate,
What if we live like that,
Isn’t it a nice food of thought,
So just think once and react this way in life and feel the change i am feeling.

If you could permanently ban a word from general usage, which one would it be? Why?
Sometimes we only hear and believe what people tell us. Maybe not to get rejected or not to be too different from others, but can we be happy when we compromise too much or pretend to be someone we’re not? Not really, only if you’re honest to yourself and only if you accept yourself the way you are, you can have a pure mind and a pure heart. True happiness comes from a true heart.
Choose to be happy and you will feel happy. Refuse to believe anything that can take away your happiness unless it’s something reasonable to believe. But even then, remember to stay strong and be yourself. Don’t allow all the sad moments to control your life. Control them by making use of the positive thoughts above the bad thoughts.
Sometimes when I’m unhappy I choose to replace the sad thoughts for positive ones and my mind feels the good energy…

This inspirational video poem is about a woman who climbs the Mount Everest and celebrates her efforts in achieving this feat. I was inspired to write this poem and the main source of my inspiration is the theme is achievement and how people react to accomplishing their goals with hard work, persistence and perseverance and how they find exulting joy as they celebrate and feel blissful about what they did thanking God. So heres the poem. I believe that this would strike a cord and motivate everyone, serving as an encouragement factor.
Thank you.
I dedicate this poem to my parents, my relatives, my friends and everyone who has encouraged me in the course of my life. Thank you.
Poem Lyrics:
On the top of Mount Everest,
She stands,
Reaching its precipice
Taking a deep breath,
& beaming with joyous pride
On the top of Mount Everest,
She stands,

DO check out the original site guys.
The activity of selfing is just that,
it’s an activity.
You actively insert your “self” into everything you perceive,
turning everything into a story about I, me, my and mine.
If you want to end the struggle
that seems to define your entire life,
then simply stop the activity of “me”,
and be free at once.
Just stop your selfing.
Stop creating something out of nothing!
Realize that your struggle isn’t real;
it’s created entirely by you.
Your mind reaches for concepts to attach itself to,
which you then define yourself by,
without even questioning their validity, their source, or their relevance
—without realizing that you’ve attached your entire emotional well-being
onto nothing but an imagined idea that you assume to be true.
You live inside the story you tell yourself,
rather than in reality itself.
You live in a dreamworld,
shaped by your fears and desires,
all of which revolve around your conditioning,
and however you personally prefer to control the nature of reality,
so that it cedes to your every egoic whim.
It must be realized that the stories
you tell yourself about the world are untrue.
You give duration to that which is otherwise short.
In other words, you drag things on, and on, and on.
You refuse to let go of that which has already passed;
this is your suffering.
A dog barks in a nearby yard
—and he’s disturbing “your” peace;
so you proceed to work yourself into an anxious and angry mess.
A spot of coffee is spilled on a freshly pressed shirt
—and the entire world is somehow against “you”;
so you allow a micro-moment to negatively affect your entire day.
You observe a person simply living their life
—and yet “you” become offended by their choice;
so you stomp around and demand that they change their mind,
rather than you simply minding your own.
You demand respect,
yet you give none in return;
you believe everything revolves around you.
But the world doesn’t happen to you;
you happen to it.
You create whatever world
you choose to believe in.
Everything is your own projection.
Observe your habit of selfing;
be free of false imaginings.
The world isn’t what you think.
Ask yourself,
“What am I creating out of nothing?”
No longer suffer
from the erroneous concepts you tell yourself.
Remove your sense of a personal self
out of every experience entirely!
See, without applying any concepts.
Listen, without forming any criticism.
Just be,
without inserting any presupposed ideas
revolving around a personal “me”.
Realize that every moment is Absolute;
it is not relative to anything you imagine.
Experience life;
without wrapping it inside of a concept;
without dividing it with a subjective opinion;
without turning it into a melodramatic tragedy
that’s all about me, me, me.
Just be,
free of “me”.
This is the truth of reality.
by Brian Thompson
