Here are some musings and stories, with a spiritual touch The Progress Story  Small progress requires tactics. Big progress requires strategy. Grand progress requires blessings. Infinite progress requires oneness. ------------------- The Self-Reflection Story  We need breaks and vacations for reflection too. Because the irony is, best thoughts (and inspirations) come only in a state of thoughtlessness. Shhhh! May be the Universe is shy & it is whispering. ----------------------- The Energy Story  (Don't mind, if you do a little) Do a little affectionately, with loads of positive energy. Don't do sacrifices grudgingly, with heaps of negative energy. Your love matters more. Your energy counts more. Not so much the hugeness of your acts.

You can also find out your level of consciousness, based on your current life situation. From low to high, the levels of consciousness are: shame, guilt, apathy, grief, fear, desire, anger, pride, courage, neutrality, willingness, acceptance, reason, love, joy, peace, enlightenment. While we keep shifting from one state to other, usually there’s a predominant state, in which we stay most of the time. ‘Courage’ is the first positive level and if you are reading this post, you must be at least at this level since you are aspiring for personal growth. You become disciplined and start looking for productivity increase when you reach the level of ‘Willingness’. You accept the responsibility of your role in the world when you reach the level of ‘Acceptance’ and awaken to your purpose of life when you reach the level of ‘Love’. Eckhart Tolle describes the sta...
