I think this is truly amazing...you should read it...its nice and interesting...
God : Hello. Did you call me?
Me: Called you? No.. who is this?
God : This is GOD. I heard your prayers. So I thought I will chat.
Me: I do pray. Just makes me feel good. I am actually busy now. I am in the midst of something.
God : What are you busy at? Ants are busy too.
Me: Don't know. But I cant find free time. Life has become hectic. It's rush hour all the time.
God : Sure. Activity gets you busy. But productivity gets you results. Activity consumes time.
Productivity frees it.
Me: I understand. But I still can't figure out. By the way, I was not expecting YOU to buzz me on instant messaging chat.
God : Well I wanted to resolve your fight for time, by giving you some clarity. In this net era, I wanted to reach you through the medium you are comfortable with.
Me: Tell me, why has life become complicated now?
God : Stop analyzing life. Just live it. Analysis is what makes it complicated.
Me: Why are we then constantly unhappy?
God : Your today is the tomorrow that you worried about yesterday.You are worrying because you are analyzing. Worrying has become your habit. That's why you are not happy.
Me: But how can we not worry when there is so much uncertainty?
God : Uncertainty is inevitable, but worrying is optional.
Me: But then, there is so much pain due to uncertainty. .
God : Pain is inevitable able, but suffering is optional.
Me: If suffering is optional, why do good people always suffer?
God : Diamond cannot be polished without friction. Gold cannot be purified without fire. Good people go through trials, but don't suffer. With that experience their life become better not bitter.
Me: You mean to say such experience is useful?
God : Yes. In all terms, Experience is a hard teacher. She gives the test first and the lessons afterwards.
Me: But still, why should we go through such tests? Why cant we be free from problems?
God : Problems are: P urposeful R oadblocks O ffering B eneficial L essons (to) E nhance M ental S trength. Inner strength comes from struggle and endurance, not when you are free from problems.
Me: Frankly in the midst of so many problems, we don't know where we are heading..
God : If you look outside you will not know where you are heading.Look inside. Looking outside, you dream. Looking inside, you awaken. Eyes provide sight. Heart provides insight.
Me : Sometimes not succeeding fast seems to hurt more than moving in the right direction. What should I do?
God : Success is a measure as decided by others. Satisfaction is a measure as decided by you. Knowing the road ahead is more satisfying than knowing you rode ahead. You work with the compass. Let others work with the clock.
Me: In tough times, how do you stay motivated?
God : Always look at how far you have come rather than how far you have to go. Always count your blessing, not what you are missing.
Me: What surprises you about people?
God : when they suffer they ask, "why me?" When they prosper, they never ask "Why me" Everyone wishes to have truth on their side, but few want to be on the side of the truth.
Me: Sometimes I ask, who am I, why am I here. I cant get the answer.
God : Seek not to find who you are, but to determine who you want to be. Stop looking for a purpose as to why you are here. Create it. Life is not a process of discovery but a process of creation.
Me: How can I get the best out of life?
God : Face your past without regret. Handle your present with confidence. Prepare for the future without fear.
Me: One last question. Sometimes I feel my prayers are not answered.
God :There are no unanswered prayers. When it is beneficial for you, the answer is always Yes! At times the answer is: NO! Somestimes the answer is: Yes, but wait, for a while. Don't mistake this for a No! At other time the answer is: No, because I have something better for you!
Me : Thank you for this wonderful chat.
God : Well. Keep the faith and drop the fear. Don't believe your doubts and doubt your beliefs. Life is a mystery to solve not a problem to resolve. Trust me. Life is wonderful if you know how to live. "Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take but by the moments that took our breath away

Brief Summary of 'The Secret'
Brief Summary of 'The Secret'
This week I watched the movie 'The Secret' which was an excellent reminder of the easiest possible way to achieve our dreams. The movie relates 'The Law of Attraction' that states that whatever you think about, you will attract. And it is so simple. All it takes is three easy steps:
1) Ask for what you want.
2) The world around you will answer.
3) Receive.
But that's too easy, you may say! Here's another description with a bit more information and with an example related to leadership.
Write down, visualize and feel the specific results you want, in the present tense. Use a visual reminder so that you are frequently reminded of your goals.
Examples: I have a continuing strong positive motivating influence on the people in my department. (See it. Feel it.) My department's productivity is double what it was last year. (Write down the number in a place where you will see it. Know what that would be like.)
You don't need to focus specifically on HOW this will come about. Relax and expect things to unfold according to your desires.
In order to receive you must in a receptive state. The best way to do this is to think and feel as if you already have what you want.
Examples: Feel grateful for the qualities in yourself that allow you to influence others. Feel grateful for the positive qualities of the people in your department that allow them to be productive. Notice and appreciate the opportunities for progress that come up every day.
Every successful person you have ever met uses at least some part of this process in some way. If you want to be persuaded, watch the movie! There is no limit to what you can achieve.
