Are you ADDICTED?

Addiction can be our biggest enemy, when handled properly. Addiction can be defined as anything without which you cannot even think of living. Addictions are not always for negative things. You can be addicted to negative things like heroin, alcohol, gambling, cigarettes or food; or you can be addicted to things like your work, hard work, etc.

Living with your addiction is not really living at all. The one and only thing that matters in your life is your need to fulfill your addiction. It does not matter what you are addicted to. Just keep in mind that it is an addiction and you need to tackle the problem now.

There are only two options open to you when you are addicted. You can carry on exactly the same as you are doing and end up being poor, lonely, unhappy, ashamed or even dead, (depending on the type of addiction you have). Or You can admit you need help, and so many people will be there to help you.

One second once

How often do we hear "take it slow," "take it easy," "one step at a time," "one day at a time" "don't be so hard on yourself" etc... Do we follow the advice? Probably not as often as we should.

Each second of the day we are faced with small and seemingly insignificant decisions; constant tests of do or don't, right or wrong. Some of these tests might be so minor we don't even think about them. Perhaps its a q-tip on the floor or a pillow out of place on the bed. Do we take the literal one second to pick up the q-tip or adjust the pillow? Or do we leave the "mess on the floor" so to speak, and allow it to accumulate.

Think of how many areas of our life that these one second challenges are adding up! You probably have piles of "stuff" all around you and fail to even notice it. A great philosophy I recently adopted is "if I think it, I must do it." If I think about taking the trash out, it probably needs to be done. So I do it NOW! By creating this discipline in my life, more gets done and with minimal effort.

I walk alone

We all have friends. But there are many people who feel isoloted even after having hundreds of friends. There can be mistake of anyone behind this and lets not get into it. Lets talk about their loneliness. If you are dealing with loneliness, you can take some steps to change the way you feel. Remember, only you have the power to overcome this feeling.

The first thing that you need to do is accept that you are feeling lonely. Do not try to run away from your feelings. Instead face and learn to express that feeling. You can cry to vent out your loneliness, or you can write. Usually when you accept and express what you are feeling, you will be able to figure out what is causing it.

Happiness to me!

What is happiness to you?

Happiness is not something which is universal. What keeping me happy may not keep you happy. There are many people who keep on saying that happiness and themselves have no connection, and happiness is always away from them. On the same side, we have people who are always happy.

What is the reason? I feel that happiness is always there in each and everything we do. It is when you search and live in the searched thing. It does not matter what you are doing, what really matters is the way you are doing it. Keep yourself involved in the things and think that it will bring happiness to you.

Work with full enjoyment, and you will get your happiness.

Have a heart, or Have the heart

Life has a different meaning to differnt people. What I feel about life is this that you always have two options.

Either have a heart or have the heart.

By having a heart I mean to say that there are people who always care about other people. They just can't resist themsleves helping others. It doe not matter where they are, what matters a lot is other should be in good. These people are always loving, helping and giving.

On the other side, we have having the heart people. These are the people who have the heart to do what they want to do. There can be some cases where they are like having a heart types, but they do think about themselves with thinking for others. These people are more towards good for maximum, but first good for them.

I am not in favour of any of these types. It depends on people to people that what type they are or want to be. You decide what you want to be.

30 second Speech by Bryan Dyson (CEO of Coca Cola)

Have a look at the power of effective speech-

"Imagine life as a game in which you are juggling some five balls in the air. You name them - Work, Family, Health, Friends and Spirit and you're keeping all of these in the Air.

You will soon understand that work is a rubber ball. If you drop it, it will bounce back.

But the other four Balls - Family, Health, Friends and Spirit - are made of glass . If you drop one of these; they will be irrevocably scuffed, marked, nicked, damaged or even shattered. They will never be the same. You must understand that and strive for it.”

Workaholic

Work! Work! Work!

There are many people who just hate doing anything
And there are many who just hate doing nothing.

People are so busy in working day and night that they don't know what is going on. I am not talking about the people around these workaholics but I am talking about the workaholics themselves. These people do their work without caring for their own health. Some do the work just to earn money, some do for the passion they have towards their work.

According to a recent survey, 93% of the techies feel that their health is affected by the work they are doing. They just sit at a place and keep on doing their work. People should take out some time for themselves so that they can exercise a bit for their healthy life.

Happy Life Workaholics!
