Adjustment and Acceptance= Happiness

In our life we come across so many situations, which we had not expected. We all make blueprint of our life. In any circumstances we should accept the situation and adjust to it, so that we can create miracles. We cannot succeed unless we accept the situation. Even a doctor cannot cure his patient unless he accepts that he has a disease.

If somebody has chosen a career which he didn't want to pursue he will feel like a victim and this mindset of his will never let him succeed in his career. But if he accepts his career wholeheartedly and adjusts to it, he will definitely succeed and live a happy life. There are so many people around us who had faced such situation. But they didn't give up. We all know about  Amitabh Bachchan, the great Indian actor. He wanted to work at the radio network. But he was rejected because of his voice. He did not waste his energy in resentment and grief. Instead he pursued acting in Hindi films. He accepted his career and concentrated his energy in acting. Everyone knows about his glorifying achievement and it's a fact that it was his voice which made him so special and outstanding. By accepting the situation we can turn weaknesss into power.

We should always remember that whatever happens in our life is always good for us. Never complain and feel like a victim. Sometimes the career which we have purused is better than the career which we wanted to pursue. But the fact is that we should give equal amount of energy to this option also. This is the only way to succeed.

Being happy in whatever we do help us to achieve our goals. Nevertheless, the ultimate goal of our life is to live a happy and a peaceful life. If we accept and adjust we will surely have a blissful life.

Power of concentration

There is no limit to the powers of mind.It is we who determine how to use these powers.One of these powers is the power of concentration,which is available to all of us.Focus of mind is necessary for anything and everything in life.The quality of your life depends on how much you concentrate and what you concentrate upon.

One of the psychologist has said that the quality of your life depends on the quality of your experiences  and the quality of your experiences depend on the quality of your concentration.Every work adds to your experiences and focus on every work determines it's quality. Swami Vivekananda has said that" the difference between an ordinary person and a great person lies in the degree of concentration".

The Bhagwat Gita gives a valuable insight into the mind power and it's role in success. The Gita verse 2:50 says," yogah karmasu kaushalam" – proficiency of action is equal to worship of God." This proficiency in action comes when the work is done with full concentration. Even work like cleaning a room needs concentration. When we do this properly, it amounts to worship. When we have this habit of focussing on whatever we do, we form the habit of being in the present. When we are in the present, we are always happy. Life is in the present and not in the past or future.

Concentration means doing whatever we do with the fullest possible attention. Work done in this way is bound to be excellent. But we are in the age of digital distraction. Technology is very useful but at the same time it is very harmful if not handled properly. When a student plays video games and then starts studying his mind won't let him study and he will feel bored. Because his mind's cognitive capacity is not fully utilized and some part of it is occupied in video games or social media. When he studies with full concentration he will be able to memorize his lessons easily and recall them whenever needed. This also saves time. Work done in this way certainly brings happiness and success to the person. He can also keep his mind calm and stable.

People with this power of concentration can excel in whatever they do. In this way they can lead a happier life.

Life Force

There is a force behind our every action, be it external or internal.Our pattern of thoughts develops into our life force. Whatever we think and behave, becomes our life force be it positive or negative. Our happiness is directly proportional to our life force.

A positive life force is created by positive attitude. This needs a little bit of awareness. We do not need to control our thoughts. We just need to witness. By witnessing our thoughts, we will come to know whether they are positive, negative or waste. Thus our life force is determined by the quality of our thoughts. Negative thoughts develops into a negative life force. That is why some people find problems even in the most favorable situation and thus lose the opportunities of both enjoyment and success in their lives. People with positive attitude have a positive outlook towards every aspect of life including difficult situations .  They transform problems into opportunities and create miracles.

Infact ,the majority of the world's most successful people have succeeded in their lives because of their positive attitude. Thus,we feel inspired by people like Thomas Alva Edison, Dr Abdul Kalam, Albert Einstein and Abraham Lincoln. These great personalities have made tremendous achievement in their fields by being positive every moment and their success was not different from their happiness.

Thus,our life force develops into our personality which again develops into our destiny. Swami Vivekananda used to say that “We are the creators of our own destiny”.

Negative life force causes many diseases so we should check our mind to prevent diseases. This is how we can lead a happier and a healthier life.
