Greediness

Greediness
Today the thought that came to my mind is Greedy. Greed is like a dark side of every man, and you could not see it from the appearance of a man, but in the inside the greedy instinct tries dominating you--Steven Eric Chen. Greediness is an intense strong or excessive desire for wealth or possession, especially wishing to possess more than what one needs or deserves. Some students get greedy to earn more and more knowledge. Some persons are greedy to learn more and more so that they may do something great. Not all greed have negative consequences.
 Great people like Mahatma Gandhi, Swami Vivekananda, Mother Teresa had the greed for helping people who suffered, which pushed them to crave for more   knowledge and learn more about sufferings of people. Greed of innovation has led to invention of computers, gadgets. The greed for knowledge has led them to explore the moon, which was considered as something impossible thousands of years ago. Lord Buddha’s quest and greed to find his answers to questions about life led to his enlightenment.
Greed can lead to motivation and motivation at times can benefit those that are all around this single person. Greed is what motivates us to reach the heights of success . It acts like a fuel to us for which we toil to achieve.Greediness –if  the right kind of selfishness--an honoring of the true Self--is essential to emotional and spiritual self-healing. So the key is the secret to being selfish in the right way, at the right time and right

measure.Greediness in negative connotation    causing hatred, anger, jealousy, self harm, frustration, harm to environment, killing   is harmful which should be realized and stopped at.

 I feel its important to balance between Need and Greed.

Father

Today I thought will pen down about Father. One of the greatest gifts a child has is Father, and another is Mother.  As soon as I think of my father a smile comes to my mind. He has been a constant source of encouragement to me.  A father is said to be   a son’s first hero and daughter’s first love. Today I am focusing on Father.

A father’s love is as important as a mother’s love. They say children who live with both father and mother tend to have better cognitive achievement, behavior outcomes, and academic performance. Children raised in happy families where both father and mother are involved in parenting is said to have more stable and healthy relationships as adults.

As rightly pointed Different  Indian languages we address father--  Daddy(English) ,Papa (Hindi) , Baba (Bengali,Assamese, Oriya,Marathi) Nana (Telugu), Appa(Tamil) Achan(Malayalam), Appa  Thande(Kannada),Pai(Konkani) Bapuji (Gujrati) and so on..

A Father's Love
A father is respected because
He gives his children leadership...
Appreciated because
He gives his children care...
Valued because
He gives his children time...
Loved because
He gives his children the one thing
They treasure most - himself
FATHER--

F-forever with his family

A-Always there for you no matter what

T-The only one who’s there

H-He is my hero till the end

E-Encourage  in everything I do

R-Really the first hero.

I know there are many who have not been lucky to have father as role models…. Today I am praying  for them…

In the comment I request you to add how you address your father and add a few lines about your father...

Encouragement

In our life we all need encouragement whenever we feel low or things don’t go as we plan, get rejected by someone we cared for, feeling low from the ups and downs of journey called life, remember life can just turn anytime.   All it takes is to keep going forward,   even when it feels like it would be easier to just lay down

and give up… some encouragements from self or trusted person helps in sailing through this low tide. Thus Encouragement is the act of giving courage, increase confidence of success, inspire with courage,,spirit, or strength of mind, to embolden, to animate,to inspire, to give confidence and hope. Encouragement from any source is like a drop of rain upon a parched desert-Claire Gillian A word of encouragement during a failure is worth more than an hour of praise after success. Always Encourage yourself, believe in yourself, and love yourself, Never doubt who you are?

Encouragement is like oxygen to the Human, Don't forget spirit you are carrying,someone else's  encourage them help them breathe.

Don’t trust people who make False Promises

Today I wanted to talk about don't trust people who make false promises all the time and you have experience it time and again but still you inner heart says this one last chance let me trust him/her. A false promise is a statement or word that   most of the time knowingly or unknowingly we give a lot of promises without thinking and are not able to keep it. Repeatedly making and then breaking commitments and promises is a common trait among some people

is not in accordance with the truth or fact. Not being genuine, being fake, untruthful and the list can go on.This topic came as

Promises from partner to keep talking or will call you back.  Then... Phone calls does not come when you call it goes unanswered. Text messages are ignored.....hope is broken. Hearts are aching. Nothing hearts more than being disappointed by the single person you thought would never hurt you.

A husband repeatedly has affairs, but apologizes profusely when caught.

A teenager repeatedly promises to help out around the house but doesn't follow through

A parent commits to a weekly activity with their child but regularly has another 'more important' priority when the time comes

 A housewife promises to reduce  her spending habit but repeatedly runs up credit card bills.

 Even as small as --  lot of the time  I have come across many people who on fraction of second would say –“please give me few seconds and I will get back to you… that few seconds turn into days and he/she does not get back.

 Rita is waiting for her friend at bus stop..on being asked friend replied  I am coming in 10 minutes while in reality it would take more than probably half an hour.

        Thus False promises is hope built entirely around fantasy a hope that has no knowable chance of coming to fruition. Remember- Some people are forgetful so trusting those people promises is not using common sense. Some people just talk as if things are simple, and that they will definitely help you, but when it comes to the real situation, they are the first ones to run away or make themselves unavailable. 

So ----When you know that a person makes promises without thinking and has not kept it many times its important not to depend on that person for important tasks. 

Don’t react emotionally when the person continuously breaks his/her promise and don’t blindly trust them.

If you feel really hurt share the problem with someone, for important task-keep a backup.

Its important to move away from person who makes false promises.  

 If you can talk to him/her make realize them not to make confident promises of things that they are not sure of—As they say you are what you do not what you say you will do.

Always remember that a person who has always excuses for not being with you or not keeping up to tasks promised to you all the time...its alright to move away ---it may be very painful but its important..
So remember when you really matter to someone that person will always make time for you, no excuses, no lies,and no false promises
