gm What work does a lion have among the cats? The next time the gang around you begins to gossip, just walk away. Refuse to speak or hear about those who are not present. Let our rapture not come at the cost of rupturing the hearts of other people. Great minds discuss ideas. Average minds discuss events. Small minds discuss people. -Mathira

gm Well, anyone who plants a seed today and expects fruits tomorrow should relocate to another planet. It isn’t possible on planet earth. Here, you don’t win unless you consistently and continuously back up your attitude to win with the attitude to prepare to win. Eleventh hour preparations do not work beyond the ninth standard in school. In life, preparation to win is a prerequisite to win. Before you ask yourself or others, ‘Will you win?’ , you’d better ask, ‘Are you prepared to do what it takes to win?’ -Mathira

gm Of all the creations, man alone, supposedly the supreme of all creations, speaks the language of death. Man alone utters, believes and follows the language of death, which is I CAN’T. Research shows it is so because every human being, before he attains the age of 14, has been told by his parents, teachers, society and peer group about 1,48,000 times on an average, “YOU CAN’T”. His environment has hammered into him about 1,48,000 times that “HE CAN’T” .

Gm Let us be good even to those who are not good to us. There is no justification for our stooping in character. It is not about whether others deserve our goodness or not; it’s that we don’t deserve anything bad in our heart or in our character.

Gm You were not born to follow. Y ou were born to lead. Remember, you were the leading sperm. Even as a sperm, you were not a follower. Live up to your inheritance. -Mathira

Gm If at all anybody is wrong, let them continue to live outside of you. Don’t give them a presence within you. Let your mind and heart house only those who are a source of your peace. The rest, let them go … In letting go of your hurt, you will let in peace. A peaceful you is a beautiful you. The good news is, you can be beautiful. The very good news is, it is in your very hands. See … even the thought of ‘let go’ is getting you to smile. -Mathira

gm Mother earth never pampers; so the seed had to first penetrate outside-in into the soil to root itself and then penetrate inside-out to shoot its presence. When it was a fragile plant, any animal could have grazed it, any kid could have uprooted it. Then the droughts, floods and pests. It had to withstand it all - the test of time, and the trial of circumstances - to become the majestic tree it now is. It isn’t just a tree but a profound sense of history. -Mathira

The saline waters of the ocean, the contaminated drains, the stinking ponds, the stagnant lakes … … from anywhere, when water evaporates into the above and comes down again as rains, it is pure drinking water. Similarly, when man connects with the force above, self-purification happens. Man’s thoughts, feelings and even the being are purified when he connects with the divine. When prayers go up, blessings come down. -Mathira

gm So, on all matters, rate the world on ‘5’ and rate yourself on ‘10’ . Not that the world is any less capable or that you are superhuman, but because … Without happiness, there is no life. So rate the world on ‘5’ . Without dissatisfaction, there is no growth. So rate yourself on ‘10’ . Thus you will be Happily Dissatisfied. -Mathira

Gm A crow carrying a piece of meat found itself being chased by all the other birds. It dropped the piece of meat, and all the birds went after the meat. Now, alone in the sky, the crow remarked, “In losing that piece of meat, I gained the freedom of the skies.” There is enormous freedom in letting your ego go. -Mathira

Happy birthday dear @Derek Ross Blessings and thank you for all

gm I will wear my uniform and rise to the occasion in my professional world. But I will always remember that there is a time for me to remove my uniform. After all, people at home want a soul, not an evolved soul. With my loved ones, I am what I always was. -Mathira

Gm Extraordinary people are ordinary people who did everything with extraordinary passion. Legendary living is in identifying a cause, a cause that seems larger than your own life, on which you are willing to invest every breath of yours to the very last breath. You make history, when you have a cause that inspires you to wake up every morning a little early and keeps you awake a little late and fills every minute in between with the depths of passion. In anything and everything give that ‘extra’ and thus live an extraordinary life. -Mathira

gm Your today is not simply shaped by your yesterday; your today is in many ways shaped by the people with whom you spent (or invested) your yesterday. Your tomorrow will be shaped by the people you give your today to. -Mathira

Gm The tragedy of life isn’t the ultimate death, but the resources that die within you when you are still alive. Let us not die while we are still breathing. Use it or you will lose it. -Mathira

Why are lightning channels going down ?

gm While we should view the world with the understanding that ‘There is no sin inaction; the sin is always in the intention behind the action’ , we should also be aware that the world will judge us only by our actions … irrespective of what our intentions are. -Mathira

There is no way to happiness. Happiness is the way. Gm

Gm Swami Vivekananda said, “Education is not the amount of information that is put into your brain and runs riot there, undigested, all your life. We must have life-building, man-making, character-making assimilation of ideas. If you have assimilated five ideas and made them your life and character, you have more education than any man who has got by heart a whole library. We want that education by which character is formed, strength of mind is increased, the intellect is expanded, and by which one can stand on one’s own feet.”

Gm Even if no one believes in you, you got to believe in yourself. Even if no one believes you can, you got to believe you can. Y ou will believe in yourself, only when you learn to love yourself. So, even if no one loves you, you got to love yourself. In fact, only when you learn to love yourself, the world will begin to love you. All-in-all, how the world sees you will make only a small difference to you, but how you see yourself will make all the difference to you. - Mathira
