Personality Development and Swami Vivekananda

By -
Hello Everyone,
Well…friends toady I would like to discuss entirely different issue with you all…So kindly tell me which kind of personality attracts you…I mean...is it a handsome and dashing fellow with tall height, dark hair and perfect physique? Or a damsel with carol lips, pretty face, fair complexion, etc.. appeals you more? Just take out some time to brood over this interesting fact. Friends…let me ask you few more questions…what do you think the term personality is all about? And how can we have the best personality? If we consult the Oxford Dictionary, the term personality means the qualities that form a person’s character. Generally, it is considered that personality is the combination of IQ and EQ, So Intelligent Quotient and Emotional Quotient play a pivotal role to form our personality. Interestingly, there is abundance of content pertaining to how to have a perfect personality, available on line. Some includes the information about how to have immaculate communication skills for our effective personality, some consists of knowledge of general etiquette and mannerism and the most hilarious and weird guidelines or videos that we can access to is about how to have the most extraordinary personality traits to impress our girlfriends. 

But Swami Vivekananda, a Hindu saint, an avid reader, a philosopher and revolutionary character, believed that life is a long process of learning and the experience which is acquired day by day, lays the foundation of our personality and a considerable life.
In the present scenario, everyone is suffering because of ‘I’ and this 'I' refers to egoism. So minimizing this habit of self-importance makes us more sympathetic and empathetic. We will have to behave as self-critics…which means knowing about our drawbacks and weaknesses and working on them to have perfection. Friends without doing so, we won’t be able to have a flawless personality.  

Swamiji says fortune is like a flirt; she cares not for him who wants her. So running after fortune is a huge mistake and if we really wish her to be our side…we’ll have to make certain changes in our 'selves'… we will have to be the master of our own fate as fortune goes to a master not to a slave hence being the slave of bad habits won't  help us to build our character. Moreover, it is essential to have mental, physical and emotional strength so that we can have dynamic personalities. Friends..last but not the least...if we we are sick or broken...the perfect communication skills or branded clothes can not create any charisma either...so it is mandatory to work on our intrinsic qualities and this change will help us through out our lives...as all the other things are secondary.
Till our next meeting...take care....be safe, healthy and happy...love yourself and work on your intrinsic qualities for a better personality.
Bye
Mamta Sharma

Make Peace with Your Regrets!!!

Make Peace with Your Regrets!!! Dear Friends, How are you all? What’s new in your lives? Well, friends, a fortnight ago, during a  week-long  motivational session, I happened to meet a person who’s quiet, confident, and impressive persona, and this made him stand out in a crowd. We used to smile at each other from a distance daily, however, due to our busy schedule; we couldn’t get a chance to interact with each other. Apart from that, we, both, had different friend circle and our group discussion sessions were also conducted separately. During our long discussions regarding life, relation, how well we comprehend our relations and a life-changing, horrific accident which he met with, he poured his heart to me and at that point, I found out how burdened he was with immense guilt and regrets for not valuing his wife and children, for making their lives miserable at one point of his life. Though I can’t give the entire account of our conversation he hated himself for not being w

Well folks, how are you all? Very often, I interact with the aging people and find out that they are filled with immense apprehension about their retirement age . Such as, what they would do after their retirement , how they would they spend their time, they are reluctant to go to their children’s places as they have their own lives. Apart from that they feel aloof in the new places and in new neighborhoods. There are several questions which cloud their minds and these multiply their tension. Well, they are right, up to a certain extent. After spending several years of a routine life , they are scared of not having any disciplined life as they would have abundance of time after their retirement . Their children wish them to be busy so that they don’t feel alienated and bored but what should they do? Let me share a real story with you all. Last week, I happened to visit my relative who lives in my city only. He is retired and has his wife, only son, his working daughter-in

Money is God!

Recently, I was having an interaction with one of my acquaintances who is quite opulent . In the middle of our talk, he said, 'I hate money '. This bewildered me entirely since despite having enormous wealth , he hardly ever shows any concern for the needy or the poor. Though I don't like to argue on any issue however I took my stand and I asked him why he detests money . He responded, 'Since he has to make lots of efforts in order to manage his wealth .' This annoyed me! So I kept quiet! Friends, I know that gentleman has an immense attachment with his money but he doesn't want to accept it publicly. Friends, this is a very common mindset. We all love and cherish money but still, we have a sort of hesitation in accepting this fact. The reason being is that we've been trained in such a way that money is the root of all the evils! And this sows a seed deep inside our heart that thinking about earning money is an evil thought and we must be corr
