American Biswanath Halder had always nursed what he believed was a legitimate grudge against his old college. Three years ago he went berserk  which left Norman Wallace, a young student, dead.

While sentencing him to life imprisonment, the judge told a seemingly nonrepentant Halder that some of Wallace's relatives were in court and that he owed them an apology. Halder responded with: ÒIt's a terrific tragedy and I'm exceptionally sorry.Ó To this, one of the victim's brothers replied: ÒI do forgive you. I don't want to have that on me. I don't want to be like you.Ó

Genuine apologies are, of course, very difficult and Halder's was nowhere near that.

Contentment means living to the fullest the good of every passing moment. Above all, it means living in the present moment, in the Eternal Now.

How much is lost in life by people who perennially wish things other than they are! Who complain unceasingly, and tell themselves that the world owes them more than it is giving them!

We must smile inwardly with God, knowing that life is His dream. Contentment is the surest way of drawing the very best out of every circumstance.

Transforming anger is a powerful step that will create positive changes in our relationships with others.

A pre-requisite to surrendering to love is to release anger. This is very important since anger can be one of the most challenging emotions to transform. In the Òfight/flight responseÓ duo - anger is the 'fight' part just as fear is the 'flight' part.

When we are caught in anger, we are always cutting ourselves off from the bigger picture and from a sense of our basic connectedness. If we could see our angry emotional reactions clearly, it would become obvious that they deplete us and narrow our life.

We would see how they are aversions to life, how they separate us and keep us closed. Yet, in spite of the fact that we hurt ourselves and others with our anger, we hold on to this restricting emotion with a puzzling tenacity.

To claim that affirmations or any similar technique can lead us to enlightenment would be presumptuous. However, what can be attempted is a step towards the calming of one's mind, and internally and externally manifesting certain other aids which in turn help in spiritual progress and life in general.

Listen to your body's wisdom, which expresses itself through signals of comfort and discomfort.

When choosing a certain behaviour, ask your body: How do you feel about this? If your body sends a signal of physical or emotional distress, watch out. If your body sends a signal of comfort and eagerness, proceed.

The important thing to bear in mind, while practicing affirmations, is that because the mind has a tendency to use words while thinking, it is helpful to use them in such a way as to uplift the mind in cooperation with divine inspiration.

Here are some points to remember while you repeat uplifting word-phrases and melodies during the day:

Financial, emotional or physical stress can be a real energy drain and ample motivation to play it safe. I don't like being at my edge, it's scary and unsettling. It calls up my anxiety and my old fears and doubts that I think I've resolved. Despite my resistance, I want to know what continues to push me forward, and creates the ability to withstand and thrive when I am pushed to my edge.

Where's your edge? What are you at the brink of and wanting to press forward with in your life? What dreams or passions are you denying because you want to stay safe in your comfort zone?

I have a standing interview every Monday morning on a radio station in the southeast that I enjoy very much. You can imagine though that it can become routine. So to make it a little more fun, the host nowadays doesn't even tell me the topic before we go live on the air, and that puts some excitement into it!

This past week he asked me the following question cold at the beginning of the show::

How can a person guarantee that they will have a great day, every day?

Now some may find that a hard question but for me it was actually a very easy question to answer (a little harder to actually live, but not that hard).

Managers have to be very careful while making decisions. The first step is to collect the right information from the right sources. The Chief Executive spends a lot of time collecting and analysing various information.

Such information is categorised by Kautilya as three types:

"The affairs of a king (leader) are of three kinds: directly perceived, unperceived and inferred"

(This article explores the relevance of principles discussed in the 3rd Century BC treatise, Kautilya's ÔArthashastra', in Today's Corporate World)

One of the books that has been an important part of my life, shaping many of my thinking and planning processes was Bob Proctor's book, "You were Born Rich". The following is inspired by this book and includes direct quotes.

Dr. Wernher Von Braun, whom many consider the "father" of the space program, was once quoted as saying "...I just can't envision this whole universe coming together without something like divine will. The natural laws of the universe are so precise that we have no difficulty building a spaceship to the moon and can time the flight with the precision of a fraction of a second."

Have you heard yourself or others say: "This has shown up 3 times in my life lately. It must be a sign that it's right for me." First, who decided there is something significant about anything showing up 3 times? You see, when you give your attention, energy and focus to something, the Law of Attraction checks in with you and gives you more of whatever you are placing your attention on.

Thoughts affect us in a number of ways. Thoughts are a vital tool in creating the reality we experience. They create our emotional states. They affect our bodies and, therefore, our health. Thoughts influence our responses to life and our relationships. Thoughts determine our choices.

What do you think of when you hear the word "attract"? How would it feel to be able to ATTRACT what ever you would like INTO your life? It's possible. You can come to depend on the Universal Law of Attraction, just has you have come to depend on the Physical Law of Gravity.

You may have heard the Law of Attraction referred to in different ways throughout your life, but it has no doubt shown up. Here's a few ways we have talked about it...

Are there any laws governing the Universe?

Yes, but not in the sense that a lawmaker has devised a law. Laws exist which are natural laws, similar to the Laws of Physics that your scientists recognise. The primary law is the Law of Love; all things exist within this law and are created out of it. Love is the total and complete acceptance of what is. Love allows. Love is about allowing yourself to be who and what you are and allowing that same right to all others.

Without the Law of Love, free will could not exist, for free will is free will.

The Universal Law of Attraction states: We attract whatever we choose to give our attention to--whether wanted or unwanted.

This Law is Universal because it does not matter who you are, where you live, what your religious beliefs are, what year you were born...the Law is true for everyone equally. It is as true as the Law of Gravity.

I've known about the law of attraction ever since I said to my kids, "Don't spill your milk," and one of them did. I noticed how that worked. I also noticed that when someone was really sure he or she could accomplish something, it usually happened.
