Random thoughts keep flashing in my mind. Some days are better than others. Sometimes you feel so good and other it seems like has come to a halt. Everything seems to be stopped even the wind. It feels like water in a pond which is not going anywhere. And this the beauty of life. Uncertainty makes life interesting otherwise if we knew everything life would be tedious.

We have entered in an information age where knowledge is power. Wealth today is no longer contains in plants, factory, labour, fixtures and raw material as it was in all the human history.  Today the greatest wealth contains between your 2 ears.

Psychologists say, what is your last thought before sleeping, will be your first thought in the morning. So be careful about what you read, watch or listen right before you sleep. Today it's Windy and in my observation, your emotions get attached to the surrounding. When I was in Brazil for a couple of months, mornings were cold generally and days hot. So now when in Delhi it's a little windy and cold my feeling takes my directly to 7000 miles away. And when it's extremely cold weather wind then it takes me to Washington. Even though several years passed but that feeling still fresh.

I went to court yesterday as physical hearings resumed. While addressing the court, the judge informed us that unless covid19 situation improves, you may come or may not and the court is not going to pass any adverse order. Then I decided not to go to the court until the covid19 is over. Why should I take a risk when the government is not taking any responsibility and I'm on my own motion. 5 years back I used to walk a lot after reading an article about walking 10,000 steps a day can make you healthier. At the same time, I started listening to audiobooks and podcasts and developing a habit for it as it could give me a lot of extra time to do things simultaneously. Initially, it was hard as English is my second language. But I kept trying and now with the practice, I can understand what book saying in the one go. Today we are going to learn from Jack Canfield. He says:- The function of belief is taking action. How many of you have an idea and you didn't work on it, another perso...

Just a random thought, our health is the most important thing in life. Apart from other things we should keep it on top. But sadly 97 % of people neglect it and suffer. As you start suffering from health, your performance in other areas of your life also starts deteriorating.  My mentor Robin Sharma says on our journey to success we have to maintain a balance amongst the 4 interior empires of the history-makers: Mindset is the 1st interior empire. A lot of people says mindset is everything. Surely it's important and there are other 3 core areas too to focus.  Heart-set is the 2nd interior empire. Working on your heart set thorough meditation, motivation. Forgive the people who hurt you. I have worked a lot on my heart set to release the anger inside and let go of my past. In this world, we want more cars, more food, more about everything to feed the hollow space inside. Working on this 2nd interior empire you feel more secure. Health-set it's the 3rd interior empire. It's ...

I had to go out yesterday for some work and now it feels strange going out. Since March end I'm in home and coronavirus is splurging out. People talk about it casually and I'm very serious that if some important work is there and I'm getting compensate proportionately only then I step out. I refuse so many opportunities to work which in the normal course I would happily do. I remember our chief minister saying "This is an extraordinary time and we need extraordinary measures".                                                                                I mage by  mohamed Hassan  from  Pixabay   Today we have a one of the greatest speech by Oprah Winfrey:- No. 1 She asking the bigger question.

It's a new day of the month. September has arrived like walking without noise. 8 months have gone and now the countdown has begun for the new year. Several years ago I developed a habit that I will walk the talk. I did very well and people started noticing my honesty and loyalty. There I met some people who expected from me what I say, I have to do and they were exceptions. I kept doing my part and those people kept running away. Because of this, I was in a loss. Then I thought about it and came to the conclusion that as soon they step back I'll also. Now people started getting angry and blaming me. Then I reminded them what deal we made. After that, a very few stayed back and the rest of them disappeared. I am in a public profession. I work on promises. And in my observation, 99 % of people break the promise about making payment after the work is done. Now I don't say anything and continue working. I focus on work and that's it.

  I journal in the morning when the mind is free and no disturbing voices around. Listening some English old songs that played automatically on my music app and I wondered it's so sweet. "Jim Reeves" has become my favourite in no time. It's an early morning today. And I got time to study finally. I fixed my computer yesterday. It took a whole day in buying RAM and installing windows.
