[www.keralites.net] 10 things we forget everyday!

 

10 Painful Truths We Forget Everyday! Sometimes the truth can hurt, so will these painful truths today. The main reason we read this is because we need to appreciate things more now than ever. Things are changing every minute, and we might not be able to adapt if we don't know couple of generally painful truths. I remind myself of these every day, and I must confess these are some of my personal motivational factors when I usually don't have a tiny bit of power to work. 1. Time is limited Before you say "I know it" you might take a look over your life again. However old you are, looking back on your life experiences you'll notice that it has no 'time' in the formula. Everything seems like it happened yesterday. So appreciate every minute you spend. Most cancer survivors and people who were tiny step away from losing their life begin to know how important is to live well and appreciate things we already have around us. I was chatting with a cab driver few months back and what he said startled me: "Well, son, time is passing really fast, you know. My father yesterday told me: (around 80 something years old man) 'It was like yesterday I was in the army.' This life sure as hell passes fast." "Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma - which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of other's opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary." -Steve Jobs 2. You live the life you create When you go out and see all the vibrant things, cars, people, animals, birds around you, endorse that they have massive impact over our life. That's why we are together in one world. And the paradox is, that neither of those things can affect you, as long as you don't react upon it. The point is, that every person creates a world on his own derived by his/hers decisions and actions. When we think that everything happens to us, it's what really happens. It's our reaction that gives life to bad things that happen to us. It is what we give to thereticular cortexthat will dictate the things we see in front of us. Every mistake and happiness is made by your choice. Sometimes our ignorance causes trouble, but we need everything we can acknowledge to getpeace of mindand live the best life we create. Watch more on things you do, and give credit to. Those things dictate your future, and sometimes they are the most destructive, or the best things for you. Choose wisely. 3. Busy and productive are two different things This guymakes hell of a fortune by being busy for 160 hours a month. Being busy doesn'tnecessarily makes you productive. Success doesn't come from busyness. It comes from productivity + best use of time. Sometimes it can be 3-4 hours a day. Over-busy people are scattered everywhere. They have no aim, nor balance in their life. We should never forget that life is not about work, money and burdening ourselves with baloney things and forget that this is actual life. [Tweet ""Never get so busy making a living that you forget to make a life.""] Allow yourself to have balance in all things you do. When the scale goes to one thing, we loose from another. Of course everything takes sacrifice, but not for so long to make us forget how to live. So get productive, not busy. Do not jointhe top 5 regrets people had on their deathbed. 4. Thinking and doing are two separate worlds They are two different worlds because it's the disparity between success and failure, and living and dying. They are so close, and yet so far. This may be the number one painful truth we forget. Imagine how many things would be done if you just started doing things, instead of wondering and thinking. The first thing we should do to keep on the thorny road is action. Without action you will create a state where you'll be mind-shackled. Without applying the thoughts in the physical words, we create a state of self-prison. We create a person inside our head that doesn't allow any thoughts to go through the hands and legs. If you want to do things, you must apply your thoughts in the physical world. It's not the stupid people are not full of doubts, as Charles Bukowski says; it is the ones that don't do. People are genius. Just think of how many successful ideas you have through the day. And you won't believe that 99% of them with action can become real. As soon as you chose to switch your mind to the next one, without taking action for the previous one, you create a chain reaction of successful ideas gone forever. 5. Failure is part of success "Our greatest weakness lies in giving up. The most certain way to succeed is always to try just one more time." -Thomas Edison I've learned that it seems like life is playing with us sometimes. It gets you to the ground, with your head, in the mud and tells you: "This is the bottom, it's the worst it can happen. This is how people feel sometimes, and even worse than this. You can be here your whole life, complaining how life happens to you, or you can go wash your face, and start taking things in your hands." How do we know what's success, when we don't know what is failure? Almost in everything we have to grasp both sides to understand the whole. Dare to make mistakes, and fail hundreds of times, until there's no gap in your actions that will give you another fail on the road. 6. Self-love has big role in your life Every day should begin with waking up, going to the bathroom, and looking in the mirror. That masterpiece you see every day, is what is going to change the world! We are piece of art, everyone of us. Art has no rules, or how it should be. Every negation of it, can only harm the way we think. No one can love you if you don't love yourself. Even if they do for a given time, they will raise a white flag. We do need support to love ourselves, but once we start doing it ourselves. "The only person who can pull me down is myself, and I'm not going to let myself pull me down anymore." ― C. JoyBell C. 7. Some people should be removed and nothing else People around us, especially the ones we contact with, play crucial role in how we live our life. They can be the biggest blessing or the biggest mistakes we have. Jim Rohn says that "You are the average of the five people you spend the most time with." It looks pretty true to me. Toxic environment is invisible cage. Even a whole society and circle of people can be toxic. If you belong to a toxic environment you will spend your life being unproductive, switching from failure to failure. Then you may think "you're an introvert." No, you are person who is in the wrong environment. You are individual who still haven't found his/hers soul mates. This can be a hardest task. You've spent years with people with whom you'll have to cut the cord in a day. It's never easy to let go of habits, even if you're aware they are not bringing any growth. Step aside and let it pass through. Then you will be obsessed with the person you really are. You willactivate your gut feelingand you will attract every tiny positive achievement. The right people will come, financials will flow, and happiness will surround you. Everything changed because you let go of people polluting your life. I encourage you to think about it. 8. Forgive before you get an apology Holding grudges rents a place in your head and keeps you busy with something that shouldn't last a second in your life. Life gets much easier when you learn to accept all the apologies you never got. Life is all about experiences, positive or negative. They are all part of the life lessons. When you forgive someone you promise yourself not to hold the irreversible past against your present self. You deserve peace of mind because of you and no one else. 9. Every second changes everything It's one of the beautiful facts that motivates us to take risks. If we don't take risks, things still change, every second. And risking might benefit us every way possible. Everything rushes in our lives, and yet life is so short. The most interesting part is that it is one second that changes life. One second can be the reason we succeed, start accumulate happiness, or fell in love. It's just a tiny fraction of time that gives so much meaning to an average span of 80 years. When we learn to appreciate one second in our day, we'll learn to appreciate everything we say, do, and think. We will appreciate our whole life. 10. Your possessions is not who you are As the world circles, it has made us think that we need a lot more than we actually need. It has became a massive materialistic competition. An average person watches TV, read papers,watch the bullcrap news, while everything an average human does is to think like most people. When you are like the rest, your uniqueness is assassinated. Our regular pattern of life is what makes us think that possessions should be put before everything. People kill, screw best friends, ramshackle businesses because of money. When people realize how powerful is the spirit, the inner self, thoughts, emotions, and the brain itself, is when we realize that stuff is really a funny thing. If you put your mindset on the money, not putting it in the process of making them, I guarantee you'll never have them. Money is a tool. Don't let them possess your spirit. What do you think you can add to the list? Is there any painful truth in your life you often forget?

[www.keralites.net] Set Your Eyes on Burano, an Island Bursting with Color!

 

Burano: Italy's Most Colorful Island Looking at these photos I can't believe that a place Burano is real. This tranquil island is bursting with color in the Northern Venetian Lagoon, close to Venice and Murano. This stunning island is actually an archipelago of 4 islands and there are 5 quarters. Burano is most famous for its colorful landscape with its brightly hued houses. Tourists love visiting the island, and you can get there by boat from Venice in just 45 minutes. This delightful island is home to 3000 residents, and the main industries are fishing and lace making.  The local women have been making lace since the 1400s and their beautiful handwork is coveted and sold around the world. If you visit the island, make sure to visit the lace making museum. While nearby Murano is more famous for glass and Venice for masks, the island also partakes in these activities and you can see them being made in local studios. You can also peruse shops and dine at a number of restaurants on the island.  Local legend has it that the bright colors were chosen so that the fishermen could spot their homes from sea. The idea was introduced for more practical reasons: to delineate property. Today if a local would to paint their house they have to submit forms to the local government, who will recommend several color options, from which residents may choose. You can also sample the town's signature fish dish, Risotto de go, and look at pastry shops for the locally baked bussola, a donut-shaped cake. The S-shaped ones are called esse, and are also well-known. While roaming the islands, you can visit Casa deo Bepi Sua, a shop with a door decorated with a striking geometric design, or see the San Martino Church.

[www.keralites.net] 12 Stunning Locations You Must Visit In Thailand!

 

12 Stunning Locations You Must Visit In Thailand Thailand is a land of many things. It prides itself on some of the most beautiful natural enviornments in the world, it has a very rich heritage and culture, and has millions of visitors coming to see this beautiful, colorful land every year. If you ever go to this wondrous place, be sure to not miss out on any of the locations on this list. Believe me, you won't regret it! 1. The Doi Inthanon National Park, Chiang Mai province, North Thailand This nature preserve in the North of Thailand includes the tallest mountain in the country, rising up to 2,565 meters. In addition, the area includes a gorgeous cloud forest, waterfalls, and exotic plant life. The park spreads over 482 square km ( and includes two old pagodas built on the mountain in honor of the king and queen. The rich, green foliage and the exotic and colorful flowers serve as a great testament to the beauty of Thailand. 2. The white temple, south of Chiang Rai, North Thailand This one-of-a-kind temple was erected in honor of the current king of Thailand, and from afar may look ancient. When you get closer, however, you'll see that indeed this masterpiece was created in the 20th century, because right next to the images and statues of the Buddha and the complex artwork, there are murals depicting popular culture images like superman, batman, aliens etc. Some of these sculptures can be downright bizarre and disturbing! So even if you think you know what temples look like, don't miss this surreal place. You won't regret it. 3. The Wat Phra That Doi Suthep Temple and the Bell Temple, North Thailand This temple rests on the Doi Suthep mountain, next to the city of Chiang Mai in North Thailand, overlooking an incredible view from atop its 1,000 meter (3280 feet) perch. To visit, you must go on a cable car and go down the beautiful and famous dragon staircase. This is the second most important temple in the country (after the "Emerald Buddha"), and next to it is a bell temple you can feel free to ring. 4. The Royal Palace, Bangkok This palace has served the kings of Siam (Thailand's previous name) since 1782. Today, it is mostly used for official ceremonies of the current king of Thailand, Rama VII, and where one can find the "Emerald Buddha" temple. From the outside, it looks like a combination of traditional Thai style and classic European styles. Its inner, beautiful spaces are loaded with ancient artifacts and marvelous decorations, turning it into a must-see spot for visitors to the city. 5. Wat Pho Temple, Bangkok Also known as the temple of the Reclining Buddha, Wat Pho can be found close to the royal palace, and is considered the most ancient temple in Thailand, built in 1788. The length of the reclining Buddha is 43 meters (141 feet) and it stands at 15 meters (50 feet) tall. In addition, the compound houses over 1,000 Buddha statues as well as special structures that, according to tradition, contain the ashes of the Buddha. Visitors of the temple place coins in some of the 108 bowls representing the qualities of Buddha, believing it brings good luck. 6. Khao San Road, Bangkok Khao San Road takes you on a long path that offers a five-sense experience. This is how you experience the unlimited energy of Bangkok by checking out the neverending rows of stalls offering food, memorabilia, massages, fabrics and much, much more. If you can imagine it, you'll find it here. This area is energetic and alive, full of bars and restaurants. That said, this isn't the place for fine dining, but it does open you to the rich culture of Thailand and its unique foods, from exotic fruits to edible insects (if you're feeling adventurous). If you want to see the true abundance of Thailand, this is the place to come to. 7. Sam Roi Yot National Park, Central Thailand Dramatic peaks, virgin beaches, picturesque fishing villages, huge caves and even a jungle - this national park, also known as the "Mountains with 300 peaks", is breathtakingly beautiful. It's most well known location is the "Cavern of the Illuminated Temple", in which one can find a Buddhist temple built exactly where the rays of sun penetrate the cavern ceiling, leading to an impressive and magical sight. 8. Erawan Falls, Central Thailand Erawan Park is located about 3 hours drive from Bangkok and includes its famous waterfalls, considered among the most beautiful in Thailand. The Erawan Falls drop down seven "stairs" that create beautiful pools that invite visitors to bathe and enjoy them. The green jungle around you adds an atmosphere of seclusion and privacy. Don't forget your swimsuits! 9. Kaeng Krachan Reserve, Central Thailand At about a two hour drive from Bangkok, you'll find the biggest nature preserve in Thailand. It's spread on an area of about 3,000 square km (1865 square miles) and is full of waterfalls, rivers, Stalactite caves, a plethora of wild animals and a rich plant life. It has something for everyone, from trekking lovers to families with small children. Whoever loves nature and is looking for a combination of walking, swimming and viewing incredible sights - this is the place to go. 10. The holy city hill (Phra Nakhon Khiri), Central Thailand The holy city is Phetchaburi, one of the most ancient cities in Thailand. It is full of temples, but the most interesting one is the "Holy City Hill" - a complex of temples found on three hills above the city. It also contains palaces and even an observatory. If that's not enough for you, you can enjoy the stunning gardens between the temples. You'll probably spot a few of the monkeys allowed to run loose in the area. 11. Khao Lak, South Thailand This is the name of an area containing several villages, each more beautiful than the rest. These villages have wonderful beaches that offer all that a beach should offer - crystal clear water, white sands and a view of mountains covered by dense vegetation. Because this is a vacation area with a great reputation, you'll find great hotels and plenty of places to dine, many right on the beach. 12. Koh Hung Island Thailand has been blessed with several incredible islands, and it's a very hard job to try and choose between them. So rather than tell you about the famous ones you already know about, here's one you may have not. Koh Hung Island in South Thailand is blessed with sapphire blue waters, white sandy beaches, stunning narrow lagoons that offer kayak tours and many other adventures that turn this little gem of an island to the fulfillment of any tropical trip fantasy.
