I am sure he has his own fan following. But some people just don’t cease to amaze you. I have been inspired by people who think 24 hrs in a day is just ample to achieve their goals. There are two types of people in the world one kind that thinks 24 hours is enough time to get the whole world wrapped around their hand and the other which seems to think 24 hrs is barely enough to get everyday stuff done .
I have some truly inspirational friends who I use as role models who hold a full time job, write books, enjoy their multiple hobbies and make time for it and do it all with a smile on their face. Remain unphased during the most packed 24 hours and take it in their stride. I am not completely there yet but like I said they are my role models. I would like to look back and see that I have tried to do everything I have been motivated to learn or do.
I started my list with 12 things I would love to get to do this year and I think that’s a good start to the 1000 different things I would like to try and learn to do.
I recently ordered my IPAD and tracked the information online today . It was ordered on 1/19 and the order was processed in California and then completed in CHINA. It has made its ways from Chengdu to Shanghai to Arkansas to Kentucky between 1/19 to 1/20 .IN 24 HRs ??How brilliant is that ? Steve’s empire never ceases to amaze me. The technology first and then the efficiency in how he has managed to get things done across the globe and yet with a marginal wait time for the customers.
Someday , I hope to meet him up there and say PAL ! You ROCK !!
I wish I could set my mind to reach the Moon and atleast get to the stars .Someday I know I will ! Thanks to Steve !

Be your own one day ONE-der
Be your own ONE day ONE-der !
How many of us strive to be perfect ? I know I am obsessive about somethings .I like all laundry put away,no dishes in the sink overnight and the counters have to be clean. Over the years I have learnt that it’s a losing battle to be perfect. I have to be strive to be excellent in what I am doing. The reason is no two moments in life are the same. We change with what we learn every moment. We spend all our life from birth to death as constant students. We learn lessons through every passing moment in life .Some life lessons stick to us quickly and some require retakes. Like I said its hard to be perfect. If we were we would have different lessons every moment. But we land in similar situations several times and find ourselves learning the same lessons over.
We learn some lessons as children and some of those are lost with our innocence. It makes a good case to say retain as much of your childhood as possible.Keep your memories good and bad. The good ones will cheer you when you are low and forlorn and the bad ones will teach us what to avoid when we are in similar cross roads.
Whether it’s a tough day at work , or bad traffic think of everything as a valuable lesson we learn at the end of the day. If you have to run 6 loads of laundry in a day or cook for a week in a couple of hours or juggle conflicting schedules with your kids and your priorities. You will learn something extremely valuable at the end of it to share with someone in a similar situation some day. Every thing that happens in our life makes us one bit more wiser.
At the end of the day,its important to feel like you achieved a complete day without falling apart .Somedays are brilliant and some days are cloudy. Persist through it and learn that tomorrow will be another day and we will see new things and learn new lessons when the sun dawns in the morning. Its important to feel that you are the most important person for yourself. You hang in there and you can make it through another bad day ,another rough storm before you see the rainbow. Be your one day WONDER .Feel accomplished everyday even if its getting 6 loads of laundry done and put away or fighting out a deadline or chauffeuring the kids. We all have to fight individual battles but we all are own one-ders because nobody else can be better at being YOU !!
Feel inspired everyday for tomorrow is always yours to do better.

More or Less
The new year has begun. The dawn of new hopes, dreams, challenges and inspirations. I feel inspired for taking on 2012 . I hope everybody is feeling the same way. I made no real resolutions this year..at least I hope making none will help me breaking none. I have 12 desires for this 12th year in the new millennium. First of all I want to focus on leaving behind a good legacy for this year when I am ready to walk into the next year. I would hope to make this year fruitful both at work and otherwise. I want to hope for a desirable spiritual growth. Adding a little fun to my life would help relieve some monotony I have gotten into. I would like to do some travelling and see some places I have wanted to in a long time. I want to try and beat the urge to be negative and be positive always..now I know it’s a vicious trap to do something positive all the time but there is nothing you cannot do if you try enough.
I spent my New Year’s eve with some awesome new friends. It was a good trip with the family and a great first step into the new year. Some things I want to do more or less .
Talk Less and listen More
Give More and take Less
Inspire More and desire Less
Have More gratitude and don’t be thank-Less
Participate More and rebel Less
Perspective is everything. Make a difference to yourself and the others around you. I have had incredible people in my life. In all senses of humor some have been great examples and some served as good warnings, some were constant like family and some friends and some come and go. Nevertheless they all taught me a little something to get me to where I am now. So I have to express gratitude to every one of them to make me what I am now. Good or bad we are all here for a reason and putting things into perspective for ourselves help us be better individuals of the society.
I hope to have a good ride in 2012 with some little BIG lessons to be learnt to make a better ME for the next year to come.
2011 was great and I look forward to a greater journey in 2012 with my constant family and my new friends.
Cheers and stay INSPIRED !
