How To Be Happy...

Step 1:
Smile. Smile even if life isn’t good, smile because life can be good. Smile because of the possibilities and everything that’s going to be.

Step 2:
Find a way to destroy whatever (not whoever) destroys you. No matter how long it takes. No matter how hard it is. Make it go away.

Step 3:
Get yourself a passion. Something (not someone), a hobby you can live for.

Step 4:
Love yourself. I know it’s hard, but you have to find a way, or you will never know how good life can be.

Step 5:
Stop thinking. What others think is not relevant, if it makes you unhappy. Enjoy. Concentrate on what you’re doing. Decide by feeling: If you feel like something’s the right thing to do, just do it.


So Be Happy Alwaz

Keep Smiling...

Chinese Zodaic

The Zodiac traditionally begins with the Rat, so here is the sequence starting with the rat and the corresponding years

1984 Rat
1985 Ox
1986 Tiger
1987 Rabbit

1988 Dragon
1989 Snake
1990 Horse
1991 Goat (Lamb)

1992 Monkey
1993 Rooster
1994 Dog

1995 Pig

E.g. I am born in the year of the rabbit. That's my starting point, 1987 to find the next rabbit year just add 12 or subtract 12 to find previous rabbit year.

To memorize the zodaic u can memorize this story.

I imagine a rat wanting to charge an ox, but instead hit the tiger who growled scaring all the bunnies (rabit) until the noise woke a grumpy dragon. The dragon coiled itself like a snake on a horses leg which neighed noisily and woke all the lambs and made them crazy, therefore they acted like a monkey, crowed like a rooster and eventually barked like a dog, until a large pig oinked at them to keep quiet. :3

Chinese Astrology

The lunar calendar has a sixty year cycle. In the Chinese horoscope, the five basic elements of Metal, Water, Wood, Fire and Earth, which make up all matter, are combined with the twelve animal signs of Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Lamb, Monkey, Rooster, Dog and Pig to form the sixty year cycle. One's Chinese horoscope is based on which lunar year in this sixty year cycle one was born.

Meaning Of Chinese Zodaic

The Chinese lunar calendar is the longest chronological record in history, dating from 2637 B.C. when the first cycle of the zodiac was introduced. One complete cycle takes 60 years and is made up of five simple cycles of 12 years each. The 78th cycle started on February 1984, and will end on February 2044. Twelve animals were assigned to each of the 12 years when, according to legend, the Lord Buddha summoned all the animals to come to him before he departed from Earth. Only twelve animals came to bid him farewell. As a reward he named a year after each one in the order that it arrived. First came the Rat, then the Ox, the Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Sheep, Monkey, Rooster, Dog and Boar. Thus, we have the twelve animal signs of today. The animal ruling the year in which you were born exercises a profound influence on your life. "This is the animal that hides in your heart".

THE LUNAR YEAR

The lunar year is divided into twelve months of 29½ days. Every two and a half years, an intercalary month is added to adjust the calendar. The addition of this month every third year produces the Lunar Leap Year. For easy reference, the beginning of each lunar month is the date of the New Moon marked on the Western calendar.
You may be interested to know that on the first day of Spring, as indicated by the lunar calendar, a freshly laid egg can be made to stand erect on its base. Try it: I know this has to be seen to be believed. (In the Gregorian calendar, the first day of Spring always falls on the 4th or 5th day of February).

THE FIVE ELEMENTS

During the complete 60-year cycle each of the animal signs (sometimes also referred to as the twelve Earth branches) is combined with the five main elements: Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal and Water. The element of your lunar sign will exercise their influence on your life.

A fundamental part of Oriental philosophy is the interrelationships among the five elements. These are divided into Conducive and Controlling interrelationships, and are as follows:

CONDUCIVE

• >>> From Metal we get Water. In this context, the metal could mean a vessel or container for holding water, so we can say that metal traps water. In another sense, metal is the only element that will change into a liquid when heated.
• >>> From Water we get Wood. Water here means the rain or dew that makes plant life flourish, thus producing wood in the process.
• >>> From Wood we get Fire. Fire cannot exist by itself but is produced by burning wood.
• >>> From Fire we get Earth. Symbolically fire reduces everything into ashes, which becomes part of the earth again.
• >>> From Earth we get Metal. All metal has to be extracted from the earth.

CONTROLLING

The entire universe is composed of these five elements. They are interdependent and each is controlled by another. Hence we find that:

• >>> Metal is controlled by Fire. Metal can only be melted and forged with great heat.
• >>> Fire is controlled by Water. Nothing will put out a fire as fast as water.
• >>> Water is controlled by Earth. We dig canals in the earth to irrigate fields or build dikes to keep out or absorb water.
• >>> Earth is controlled by Wood. Trees and their roots hold the soil together and get their nourishment from the earth.
• >>> Wood is controlled by Metal. Even the largest tree can be felled by the metal blade of an axe.

Under this philosophy, we see that no element can be called the strongest or weakest. They are forever dependent on one another and are equal. They are linked by the chain of life that brings about their existence, and there is no power struggle. Each has its own place and function.

The Moon, being the closest heavenly body to Earth, has shown its many visible powers to mankind since the dawn of civilization. Its magnetic pull has ruled the rising and ebbing ocean tides as well as all other bodies of water. The Chinese culture has built itself firmly around the lunar influence, believing it to affect humans so immensely because our bodies consists of three-quarters liquid. Likewise, plants and animals are subject to its all-encompassing force.
Would it be too farfetched, therefore, to speculate that even nations will be beneficially or adversely affected, depending on whether they were born under a good or a bad moon? Will the year in which a country is formed have a great bearing on its place in history? Chinese fortune-telling leaves us to draw our own conclusions, after providing us with the necessary tools.

It is said that astrology is an accurate science, based on fixed formulas and mathematical calculations. Likewise, lunar horoscopes are equally exacting and scientifically evolved. Yet I hasten to add that it can be considered as an art form: the art of recognizing relevant facts in whatever disguises they may appear or expressed in. The Chinese sages of old and the fortune-tellers of today liken themselves to medical diagnosticians of the present, probing, searching and forever interpreting telltale signs of what the future may hold.

The ancient Chinese method of chance reading is never dogmatic or fatalistic. We are never made to feel hemmed in by our weaknesses nor inhibited by our deficiencies. Rather, we are encouraged to exploit our resources in varied and imaginative ways.

Thus, Chinese horoscopes, instead of restricting us, teach us how to plot new courses if our present methods of approach do not meet with success, and how to circumvent the circumstances of birth and other barriers and to reach our goals by taking new routes. As they instruct us in self-analysis and in knowing what to expect from situations, we will be able at worst to face, at best to solve, the problems we are most fated to encounter.

Dream Magic - How To Make It Happen...

You can definitely bring true love into your life, new friends, a better career, more wealth, and financial opportunities; resolve your life's problems and a lot more. It can in fact help you completely change your self image through a personal transformation once you know how to function in the secret and magical world you enter each time you sleep.

You do not need to spend a cent, no medicines or special dietary products, electronic gadgets or other equipment, you do not have to bond to any cult group nor participate in charity, and no periodical subscription neither. The only thing you need is YOU yourself only and an intensely felt and sincere desire to cause your life for change and to attract into your life those things you truly desire. On the other hand, it does require input from you, you must FOCUS and have the PATIENCE to persevere. It is also essential for you to TRUST that this magnificent process works as that is one of the main elements in achieving results. If you do not trust it in the beginning, you will trust it when you experience first rewarding and exciting success with it.

Here are the 5 Easy steps below. Follow the steps to change your life and attract true love, happiness, friendships and plenty more!

Step 1: What do you really want? Decide what you want in the simplest words, something that can be illustrated with the smallest amount number of words. Try to keep it less than 6 or 7 words if you can. For instance: You want to meet a companion or lover. Then you can say; "I am meeting someone nice", "I am getting a permanent relationship."; "I am marrying to someone nice". Beware that these sentences are in present tense or present continuous tense instead on future tense. Do not create a laundry list resume of what you desire, such as; I want a basketball hero, with a bachelor degree, must be from Harvard, must have a ranch in Virginia, must come from a rich family background. You should keep it short and to the basic inner emotional feeling that you can describe in the least words possible. And you can just let the spiritual channel fill in the details. The higher realm understands what you desire better than yourself.

Step 2: Turn it over! Right before falling asleep each and every night, you should sit on the edge of your bed for just a moment to collect the emotional feeling of what you desire to appear in your life or out of it. If you are looking for a mate, imagine the emotion when the mate is there already for you, your emotions and happiness of achieving your desired object. You do not need to picture what the person's appearance or what you will do or talk. That is not important at this point and interferes with the feeling emotions of your desire. You should just create the emotion of happiness you would feel at upon achieving what you are looking for. Then, with your imagination, put this happy emotion in a little bubble and blow the bubble away so it will enter the divine. At this stage you do not need have to 'hang on to your desire'. You are 'turning it over' to the greater reality beyond your understanding where it can be processed appropriately. Now you can go to sleep.

Step 3: Patience and Perseverance. Continue the nightly practice of 'turning over your desire' right before you go to sleep. If you miss a day, don't worry, but begin again. Never give up! Practice it every night until your desire becomes your reality. You will not know exactly how long your desire will be realized. For the person, it can be one night. For the person who waited a year, it did not matter since when her desire was realized, the time she spent patiently and persistently 'turning it over' every night became a moot concern. This step should not be over-emphasized. It separates from those who truly desire something and those who are just so-so interested.

Step 4: Trust! Trust that will happen! For the beginner, you must trust that the spiritual world can assist you in your desires and requests. But, you only need to trust until you have your first successful experience, then you no longer have to trust, because you will KNOW. When you know that something extraordinary happens, you no longer need to trust that it works, simply because you KNOW that it works. For instance, if I tell someone who has never tasted candy what candy actually tastes sweet, they would have to trust me. They have to trust me since they never had the chance to taste candy and do not know what sweetness is. Nevertheless, when they get to taste candy for themselves, they do not need to trust me about sweetness, they will know for themselves and hence trusting me is not necessary any more. That is how the Dream Magic works for you too, once you have experienced it yourself, you will KNOW what it is. And knowing is better than trusting.

Step 5: Change and Do. The universe is changing every second. The stars and galaxies are becoming farther apart because of the expansion of the universe. New Sun stars are born, while some others burn out, things are changing constantly. You need to make some little changes too. They do not have to be radical changes like getting a full body tattoo or dying your hair green and purple, but make some small changes as a signal to the universe that you are ready to change. What can you do? You can change your daily routine; instead of - wake up; breakfast, drive 30mins to work, then work, then eat lunch; Get off from work; stop at the grocery store, cook dinner, watch TV, read a little; then go to bed; next day start all over. Try something new like: first wake up; have coffee at a Starbucks; hitch a ride or take your friend to work; talk to someone you never talked to, after all you can make a new friend; you can eat lunch out at a different restaurant; finish work, go to a different grocery store, maybe a whole Oriental food supermarket or organic type; instead of watching TV, you can go to bookstore, swimming pool; beach; mall; bowling.

You can change your style of fashion or get something different than before; maybe its sandals, new hair color or change your colorist or hairdresser. You never go to the theater or a music concert? Then do that! If you are invited to meet someone new or do something different, do it! Come across some little things to change in your usual life. Why? Because that lets you to 'shake' and 'move your routine so the spiritual 'shakers' and 'movers' will be able to find more chances for you to intersect with a 'coincidence' that should turn out to be the reply to your desire.

Truth about Failure...

Failure doesn't mean you are a failure...
It does mean you haven't succeeded yet

Failure doesn't mean you have accomplished nothing...
It does mean you have learned something

Failure doesn't mean you have been a fool...
It does mean you had a lot of faith

Failure doesn't mean you have been disgraced...
It does mean you were willing to try

Failure doesn't mean you don't have it...
It does mean you have to do something in a different way



Failure doesn't mean you are inferior...
It does mean you are not perfect

Failure doesn't mean you've wasted your life...
It does mean you've got a reason to start afresh

Failure doesn't mean you should give up...
It does mean you should try harder

Failure doesn't mean you'll never make it...
It does mean it will take a little longer

Adversity...

If you are going through a tough phase in your life, it is time to brace up to one fact. You and only you can make your fortunes turn. Is there any successful person who has not had to face adversity? Ask them how they handled it, and you will get one answer- resilence.

Here is a story……great food for thought!

“Put three pots of water on a fire. In the first pot put some carrots. In the second pot, put some eggs. In the third pot, put some ground coffee beans. Boil all the pots for 15 minutes.

The carrots went in hard, they are now soft. The eggs went in soft inside. They are now hard inside. The coffee beans have imparted the water with colour and a wonderful smell.

The problems of life are like the boiling water! What happens to us when we face difficulties in our life? We can be like carrots. We go in tough and strong, we come out soft and weak. We get tired. We lose hope. There is no more fighting spirit left in us.

We can be like eggs. We start with a soft and sensitive heart, expecting to do good and get good. We end up hard and unfeeling inside. We hate others, we become embittered. We don’t like ourselves anymore.

We can be like coffee beans. The water does not change the coffee beans, the coffee beans change the water. See it! Smell it! Taste it! The hotter the water, the better the taste. We can adapt. We can learn from the problems we face, garner new knowledge, get new skills…. We can grow in experience. We can make the world around us better!

How do you handle Adversity? Are you a carrot, an egg, or a coffee bean?"

It is important to understand that success is, among other things, a function of your ability to respond effectively to adversities. Remember, all setbacks are temporary and every failure is a lesson. Do not lose sight of your goals. Review your approach to handle the current situation and just keep doing things you need to do. When the going is really tough, it is all the more important to take care of yourself. Eat right, read inspirational material, listen to motivational songs. Believe in yourself and surround yourself with people who have a positive outlook. Negative people can de-motivate you…disassociate from them if you can.

When the hours are the darkest and trials are their greatest only patience, perseverance and tenacity can help you get on top of the situation.

Emotions...

“Emotions are the great captains of our lives and we obey them without realizing it.”

Emotional reactions are like pop-up windows; they come up automatically when your buttons are pushed! You must’ve realised that certain stimuli provoke specific emotions leading to a predictable behaviour in you. And if the wrong buttons are pushed, they trigger negative reactions! All this happens because each one of us is walking around with some emotional baggage.

Emotional baggage can be simply defined as painful memories of mistrust, hurt, loss or rejection carried around from the past.

To be successful and live the life of your dreams, you must meet life’s challenges with equanimity. You must be focussed, clear headed and positive. But, some carry a heavier baggage than the others; hence their progress towards success is slowed down or even fraught with frequent stoppages, simply trying to pull the excess weight.

Emotional baggage manifests itself in many unpleasant ways. It can make you mistrust people, and stop you from having meaningful personal or professional relationships. It can make you too scared to take a step forward because of perceived threats. It can stop you from fighting back for yourselves. It can stop you from asking for support when you most need it, out of fear of rejection or failure. It can make you become a control freak, a yeller, a whiner, an escapist……the list is endless.

Your emotional baggage weighs down your personality. Even when you put up a grand show of being stable, rational and confident, it is lurking in the background to rear its ugly head when the wrong buttons are pushed. Then, it bursts forth with the intensity of a tidal wave to wash away all that you aspire to be.

Since change is an inherent property of the environment around you, you cannot continue to react to situations in a pattern defined by your childhood traumas or other unpleasant experiences. It means you need to get rid of the emotional baggage dragging you down. This task is not easy, but it must be done. Here are four steps to doing it.

# Become aware of your incorrect behaviour!
Accept that your behaviour needs to change and give no excuses or justification for it.

# Recognise the stimulus!
When you find a similar negative reaction repeating itself, try to map the different situations that led to the behaviour. More often than not you will realise that the stimulus to the reaction has been the same.

# Analyse and Forgive!
Try to unearth childhood experiences or other traumas that first caused you to react this way. Forgive those who wronged you then; forgiveness is a great healer. Tell yourself that the people and the situations of the past are not relevant any more. Teach your mind to live in the present instead of the past.

# Plan your Reaction!
Having recognised the stimuli to your emotional responses, you can plan how you will react the next time similar stimuli occur.

Life is a moving stream. If you do not dump excess baggage before you get on to the boat, you will sink. Hence, though the task is daunting, if you have resolved to change, you will succed in sculpting a beautiful personality and be rewarded with a more fulfilling life!

Reasons the world will end in 2012.

Don’t know whether its true or not, but just thout of sharing it to you. 7 reasons the world will end in 2012.

Scientific experts from around the world are genuinely predicting that three years from now, all life on Earth could well finish. Some are saying it’ll be humans that set it off. Others believe that a natural phenomenon will be the cause. And the religious folks are saying it’ll be God himself who presses the stop button…

1. Maya Calendar


The first mob to predict 2012 as the end of the world were the Mayans, a bloodthirsty race that were good at two things:

Building highly accurate astrological equipment out of stone and
Sacrificing Virgins.

Thousands of years ago they managed to calculate the length of the lunar moon as 329.53020 days, only 34 seconds out. The Mayan calendar predicts that the Earth will end on December 21, 2012. Given that they were pretty close to the mark with the lunar cycle, it’s likely they’ve got the end of the world right as well.

2. Sun Storms


Solar experts from around the world monitoring the sun have made a startling discovery: our sun is in a bit of strife. The energy output of the sun is, like most things in nature, cyclic, and it’s supposed to be in the middle of a period of relative stability. However, recent solar storms have been bombarding the Earth with so much radiation energy, it’s been knocking out power grids and destroying satellites. This activity is predicted to get worse, and calculations suggest it’ll reach its deadly peak sometime in 2012.

3. The Atom Smasher

Scientists in Europe have been building the world’s largest particle accelerator. Basically its a 27km tunnel designed to smash atoms together to find out what makes the Universe tick. However, the mega-gadget has caused serious concern, with some scientists suggesting that it’s probably even a bad idea to turn it on in the first place. They’re predicting all manner of deadly results, including mini black holes. So when this machine is fired up for its first serious experiment in 2012, the world could be crushed into a super-dense blob the size of a basketball.

4. The Bible says…

If having scientists warning us about the end of the world isn’t bad enough, religious folks are getting in on the act as well. Interpretations of the Christian Bible reveal that the date for Armageddon, the final battle between Good an Evil, has been set down for 2012. The I Ching, also known as the Chinese book of Changes, says the same thing, as do various sections of the Hindu teachings.

5. Super Volcano

Yellowstone National Park in the United States is famous for its thermal springs and Old Faithful geyser. The reason for this is simple – it’s sitting on top of the world’s biggest volcano, and geological experts are beginning to get nervous sweats. The Yellowstone volcano has a pattern of erupting every 650,000 years or so, and we’re many years overdue for an explosion that will fill the atmosphere with ash, blocking the sun and plunging the Earth into a frozen winter that could last up to 15,000 years. The pressure under the Yellowstone is building steadily, and geologists have set 2012 as a likely date for the big bang.

6. The Physicists

This one’s case of bog-simple maths mathematics. Physicists at Berekely Uni have been crunching the numbers. and they’ve determined that the Earth is well overdue for a major catastrophic event. Even worse, they’re claiming their calculations prove, that we’re all going to die, very soon – while also saying their prediction comes with a certainty of 99 percent- and 2012 just happens to be the best guess as to when it occurs.

7. Slip-Slop-Slap- BANG!

We all know the Earth is surrounded by a magnetic field that sheilds us from most of the sun’s radiation. What you might not know is that the magnetic poles we call north and south have a nasty habit of swapping places every 750,000 years or so – and right now we’re about 30,000 years overdue. Scientists have noted that the poles are drifting apart roughly 20-30kms each year, much faster than ever before, which points to a pole-shift being right around the corner. While the pole shift is underway, the magnetic field is disrupted and will eventually disappear, sometimes for up to 100 years. The result is enough UV outdoors to crisp your skin in seconds, killing everything it touches.
