Change Your Perception and Your World Will Change!
Introduction We can find all type of people in this world and none of us is alone. Criminals always surround criminals; intellectuals are surrounded by intellectuals; Good by good and bad by bad; it is up to as what we are looking for? Everybody knows things are that way, you know things are that way. Things are that way, as everybody knows. When one says things are not that way, you say things are that way, everybody knows things are that way. You are right. Things are that way. If we say you are right, you are probably right. If you say you are right, you are probably right. If I say you are right, you are probably right. If he says you are wrong, you are probably right. If you say you are right, and you are wrong, you are probably wrong. We are probably right. Things are that way. Things are that way and things are not that way. That is the way things are. To start with in the words of Kabir Das, "Bura Jo Dekhan Main Chala, Bura Naa Milya KoyeJo Munn Khoja Apnaa, To Mujhse Bura Naa Koye" (I searched for the crooked, met not a single oneWhen searched myself, "I" found the crooked one) We have also read and heard that "Beauty is in the eyes of beholder" Sometimes back, a person came to me and told, "Sanjeev, you know one thing, you are a DOG". I said, 'I am too happy as a Human Being and I have not done anything big or great to be called as DOG". It is simple; if you reverse the spellings of DOG it will become GOD. Now, whenever I pass through those big societies and bungalows and see those boards, "Dog is on Duty" or "Beware to dogs", I just cannot stop myself from smiling. Color of this world is based on the color of your eyes, color of your glasses. The way you perceive the things; your understand, your thoughts and your experiences. Good and Bad people you will find everywhere in the world, in every country, in every society it is up to us, what we are looking for. Let me share this story: One day a rich father took his son on a trip to the countryside with the firm purpose of showing him how poor people can be. They spent a day and a night at the farm of a very poor family.When they got back from their trip the father asked his son, "How was the trip?" "Very good Dad!" "Did you see how poor people can be?", the father asked."Yeah!" "What did you learn?" The son answered, "I saw that we have a dog at home, and they have four. We have a pool that reaches to the middle of the garden; they have a creek that has no end. We have imported lamps in the garden; they have the stars. Our patio reaches to the front yard, they have a whole horizon." When the little boy was describing what he saw, his father was speechless. His son continued, "Thanks dad for showing me how poor we are!"Isn't it true that it all depends on the way you look at things?The moral of this story is: If you have love, friends, family, health, good humor and a positive attitude towards life, you've got everything. You can't buy any of these things. You can have all the material possessions you can imagine, provisions for the future, etc... but if you are poor of spirit, you have nothing. ?in organizations and at workplaces "Managers do the same thing all over the world...The way they do it is different" -Peter Drucker Most of us know when things are not working in our organizations. Symptoms such as: declining staff morale; staff apathy; staff turnover; severe financial pressures; radical shifts or declines in the demand for programs and services; criticism of the organization from the community, may be signals that change is due. They say that the only ones who welcome change are babies when their diapers are wet! Change in our lives is inevitable. Some of us undergo radical changes every few years or so--changing jobs, moving to new locations, changing partners, changing hairstyles, changing vehicles, changing our eating patterns when we diet, changing our lives when we exercise, so why is it we resist change when it occurs in our workplace? To make transitions from your current condition, whatever the change may be to a new system it is necessary to identify those factors, which might either facilitate or inhibit any change effort. These obstacles and supports may come from within the organization or from an external environment. In either case the one area that is overlooked in the change process are the people. Change and the rate of change is occurring so rapidly in today's economy that we seldom have the time to stop to recognize the impacts it has on one of our most valuable resources - our employees. Every day on the news or in the newspaper we hear of another corporate merger or restructure, seldom do we hear about the people who this has affected. If we are to continue to expect the most from our employees we need to take time to understand what change does to them and assist them in minimizing their distress and disruptions, which the change may have caused. Conclusion "You can change the way you perceive things. Nothing is set in stone - not even the way you're perceiving the world around you at this moment." "In every moment of life and every instance of perception, there is a point of opportunity in which you can choose how you perceive the world." "This ability to alter perception is one of your greatest human abilities. It means that no matter how difficult your life may become, you will always have the power to rise above suffering. It means that you can choose a perspective on reality that will enrich you instead of diminish you." For me, some of the most discouraging moments in my life are when I am trying to do something positive for the world or trying to change myself for the better, and nobody seems to notice or care or think that my efforts matter. In my perception, they are belittling what I am trying to do, sabotaging it or being totally non-supportive. One of the things that help me the most to get out of this rut and find fuel for my own courage and love is to feel love and aliveness from everything that surrounds me. When my fear becomes too strong, this saves me. Try it. Bring yourself to a peaceful place and contact with something that makes you naturally feel good. Allow yourself to feel the love and the presence that it has just for you, and allow yourself to absorb it. Bring it inside you, just like a warm beverage on a very cold day. Practice makes perfect but practice is worth every breath. It is possible to perceive your world in a positive way to fulfill your need for love and hope. Looking forward to your comments and Feedback.Have a great time and take care With Lots of Love and Care, Sanjeev Sharma You can read my ITES-BPO and HR related articles at www.bpoindia.org/research/ You can read my inspiration, motivation and dreams related articles at www.ezinearticles.com.

RELATED ARTICLES
Dump Those Negative Tapes Every time something doesn't go quite right (rather frequently for some of us), we start berating ourselves. We can be the soul of courtesy and forgiveness to those we care about and then turn and savage ourselves in the most brutal fashion. How many times have you told yourself: "I'm an absolute idiot!" What was I thinking?" And that is just the start. Condition or Definition? In talking with a coaching client recently, she made a statement about a negative habit followed by these words: "that's just who I am." I challenged her to re-examine what she had said. In fact, the truth was, she had a habit, but it was no more "who she is" than to say that the package your food comes in is the food. It is the package. It may represent the food or cover the food, but it isn't the food. And therein lies a key distinction. I challenge you this week to examine whether you have given power (identity) to something that is actually a condition rather than a definition of who you are. How to Use Fear to Your Advantage The invisible force surrounded him, squeezing tightly around his chest. His eyes became wide and bewildered. Where Do You Get A Positive Attitude You Asked? How are you? Where do you get a positive attitude you asked? Learning From Life Do you ever find yourself thinking, "Life has taught me some tough lessons, and the scars do not heal easily."? This article can help you learn valuable lessons from the past, instead of allowing the past to determine your future. Never Run Out of Altitude, Airspeed, and Ideas at the Same Time: Lessons From the Vietnam POWs Bosses can't control many things at work. In fact, they probably can't control most things, but they can control their own reactions to unfortunate events, and they can help their direct reports feel authority over their reactions to unpleasant and unexpected changes. When hard times rear their ugly heads, the boss has to be a kind of hero, the rescuer who looks after others and helps them keep from losing their perspective and their coping resources. Becoming aware of the value of humor can increase our understanding of the powerful role mirth and laughter can play in helping us bounce back from hardships, and in turn, help others cope with adversity. In other words, humor can give us a bit of control in situations when we would otherwise feel as though we had no power over our destiny. Accepting Rejected Thoughts Sometimes we are in a position to look into the lives of other people. It could be through a book, or a movie, or a story we hear, or occasionally it could be someone that we meet. Sometimes when this happens, we see qualities that we truly admire, and we think that we would like to have those qualities. Perhaps we just look at the person and think that we would like to be like them. Maybe we hear what they have said and think that we would like to be able to say things like that. It could be that we would like to have what they have, or do what they do. Self-Recovery from Addiction: Taking Responsibility for Your Life I've had several coaching clients come to me who, while they wanted to move forward in life, were actually stuck in a self-destructive addiction. Of course, I cannot directly confront them about their addictions, as they had to open up to me that it was part of the problem that was keeping them in the same rut in which they found themselves day-after-day. As we worked together to make plans and open doors, the addiction was left open for them to examine and realize that they needed to overcome the situation, and cut loose that anchor to move forward to a fulfilling life. Release Your Agression In Your DIARY OF EMOTIONS In order for you to make positive ground daily you need an avenue of escapism that allows you to shed the emotional baggage that we all carry around with us. The largest and indeed the most dangerous aspect of failure is your emotional status. Reality Exposed Did you know that our thoughts may be influencing ourreality and lives? Have you ever seen a movie called'What the Bleep Do We Know!?'. My Sunshine "You Are My SunshineMy Only Sunshine You Make MeHappy When Skies Are Gray" Big Move to a Small Town I'm getting calls from folks who say, "I hear you moved to a very small town. I'm thinking of doing the same. What's it really like?" Be Positive This may sound quite aberrant to most of the younger generations who are not really exposed to the personality development articles, books or motivational lectures. From Stress to Adventure Ten tips to transform your move into a creative life transition. Living with Chronic Illness & Disorders: Are You a Survivor? Once upon a time, I was a vibrant, youthful teenager... The Art of Thankfulness With Thanksgiving approaching, I thought it would be especially appropriate to discuss a defining characteristic of successful people that I've met worldwide. I've found that successful and joyous people are usually very skilled at counting their blessings. They focus on what's right about their life instead of what's wrong. How You Treat People Matters I encountered several interesting people that really taught me something. The first person was a man who works for Mc Donald in Thousand Oaks Mall. If you look at him for the first time, you may think that he is a quiet and shy person. You may even think that he is not nice and you may think that he is the last person that will help you. He is not very attractive; he wears no jewelry, or not even a watch. I watched him worked really hard by mopping the floor and he kept the Mc Donald very clean. Cant Take a Compliment? "Putting ourselves down, is an insult to our worth."--Helen Ksypka Universal Thought Systems/Forgiveness Philosophy of Forgiveness: Living Mindfully Normally I race around multitasking. I am always thinking about a million things while I try and do at least two activities at once. More and more I forget what two things I'm doing and I often feel guilt that I'm not doing either terribly well. This certainly is the lament of every working mom. There is a Zen story that tells of a man charging down a road on a galloping horse. Another man, on the side of the road, yells to the first man, "Where are you going?" "I don't know", replies the rider, "Ask the horse." The horse represents our galloping thoughts pulling us along throughout our day. We don't know where we are going and we couldn't stop, even if we did.
