रॉबिन शर्मा लिखित 'आपली आत्मशक्ती ओळखा' पुस्तक वाचत होते. पुस्तक खूप प्रेरणादायी आणि डोळ्यात अंजन घालणारं आहे, नवीन ज्ञान देणारं आहे, तमाकडून तेजाकडे नेणारं आहे. त्यातील एका प्रकरणाच्या नावाने मला आकर्षित केलं. ते नाव वाचून मला काही अंदाजच बांधता येईना की या प्रकरणात नेमकं काय लिहिलेलं असेल. प्रकरणाचं नाव होत - 'रंगीत काचेची खिडकी'. हे नाव मला खूप आकर्षक वाटलं आणि मी लागलीच ते प्रकरण वाचायला सुरुवात केली. प्रकरणाची मध्यवर्ती कल्पना अशी होती की प्रत्येकाच्या आयुष्यात अशीच एक रंगीत काचेची खिडकी असते आणि आपल्यापैकी प्रत्येकजण त्या रंगीत काचेच्या खिडकीतूनच जगाकडे पाहात असतो. आपण बर्याचदा जग जसे आहे तसे पाहात नाही तर आपण जसे आहोत तसे जग आपल्याला दिसत असते. किती खर आहे हे, नाही का?  तुम्ही कधी घेतलाय अनुभव याचा? आपण सुखी असलो, आनंदी असलो की जगही आपल्याला सुखी आणि आनंदी दिसत आणि आपण जर दुखी असलो तर जगही आपल्याला दुखी दिसत. आपण आजूबाजूला जे पाहात असतो ते आपल्या आंतरिक घडामोडीचं प्रतिबिंब असत. कोणीतरी म्हटलंच आहे, "सौंदर्य हे ते पाहणाऱ्याच्या नजरेत असत." खर आहे. बर्...

I and my friend, we both got inside the train. We were travelling to home from our office. Thankfully,train was not that crowded today. We started searching for place to sit. My friend got one and I too got it within next few minutes.  I sat. There was a girl, who was sitting beside me on my left side, near the window. She was around 26-27. I guessed so. I and my friend, we were busy in chatting. The next station came and a lady entered with two kids. One of them swiftly came to the window, near us and started looking outside. Little children have this very common and genuine attraction towards windows, so we have. Well, we were still busy in chatting. After couple of seconds, the girl beside me requested me to shift little bit to my right side. I wondered,'why?' Generally people sitting at the end of the seats request the next person to shift little bit but why she was saying me to shift. I got confused. She told me,"Just move little bit so that this little kid can si...

Don't we do this most of the time? Yesterday we had fight with our parents or partner or with someone very significant and we keep on thinking about that for next few days. This happens with you right? Don't worry. You are not a single person experiencing this. There are many more like you. Rather, everyone is as same as you in this regard. Feeling happy to know this? Well, wait. Story doesn't stop here. I will try to unfold some aspects about this. Almost everyone can agree to the statement that a human mind is clingy. Intrinsically, we are very much comfortable and habituated with clinging to the things, people, events and even objects. We are too much dependent of our surroundings. We get easily attached with the things, people, events in our life and cling to them. And once we are clung, it becomes difficult for us to get detached from the things we have clung to. This is the reason why some are still sad due to some argument happened many weeks back (here people might...

Today morning I received a Hike Daily positive quote. It has been said by Martin Luther King Jr - "If you cant fly then run. If you cant run then walk. If you cant walk then crawl. But whatever you do, you have to keep moving forward". We see many people around us sometimes including us also who easily give up when the seemingly appropriate time has seemingly gone according to us. Many people say, when there was time, we didn't do that and now the time is not appropriate. But is it going to help us in anyway? Not at all. Time is always right and we make it more right or more wrong by our thoughts, emotions and actions. Every person has an ability to succeed but he/she just needs to keep moving ahead. Progress is progress. No matter how long you have come. Even if you have traveled 2 centimetres far from where you were earlier, its a progress. Many people don't acknowledge this seemingly small progress which can be a lot for someone who had been stuck at one place fo...

Vanita was being always criticised by her seniors at work. One of them was harsh and one of them was too soft in giving feedback. She never had an issue with accepting feedback but she could not handle the harsh criticism. She always used to feel bad and used to get discouraged but slowly and gradually she she tried to improve her performance and started getting positive comments. She started feeling good. But the story doesn't stop here rather it starts from here. She learned one more thing from these experiences. She gained insight that human mind is so influenced by external environment that it can easily get encouraged or discouraged by mere comments of people. If its getting encouraged, its good but what if its getting discouraged with every critical comment?  Its totally bad and unhealthy. So why to get influenced by external factors. Isn't it a valuable insight gained by Vanita? Has it ever happened with you? You might have come across people who discourage you, blame y...

जगात निर्व्याज आणि शुद्ध प्रेमाने ओतप्रत भरलेली नाती फार दुर्मिळ असतात आणि पर्यायाने अशी दुर्मिळ नाती लाभलेली माणसंही दुर्मिळ असतात. असंच एक नातं मला काही वर्षांपूर्वी गवसलं. आता त्याला काही वर्षांपूर्वी गवसलं असं म्हणणंसुद्धा मला समर्पक नाही वाटत कारण जेव्हा केव्हा मी त्या नात्याचा विचार करते तेव्हा असं वाटत की हे नातं खूप काळापासून माझ्यासोबत आहे... बर्याच वर्षांपासूनच नव्हे तर नक्कीच कैक जन्मांपासून माझ्यासोबत आहे आणि या आमच्या नात्यातील 'तो' माझ्यासोबत आहे, बराच काळ, बरेच जन्म, एका अनादि काळापासून...आणि अनंत काळापर्यंत 'तो' माझयासोबत असेल, याची मला खात्री आहे. ग्वाही 'तो'च मला देत असतो, देत आलाय, अनादि अनंत काळापासून, त्याच्या प्रत्येक कृतीतून, आविष्कारातून, अभिव्यक्तीतून...  त्याने आतापर्यंत प्रत्येक सुखदुखात माझी साथ दिलीय, देतो आणि सदैव देत राहील. तो माझ्यासोबत हसतो,रडतो... आम्ही एकत्र मस्ती करतो, खट्याळपणाही करतो आणि धम्मालही... तस बघायला गेलं तर 'तो' सदैव माझ्यासोबत असतो... सावलीसारखा नाही म्हणणार मी कारण सावलीसुद्धा सुडून जाते आपल्याला, अंधा...
