Five Champion Questions to my self – 04-Nov-2020

 


I am sorry, Could not write something on yesterday, but today I have my story. Again the five champion questions to me.


 

1.     What am I thankful for today?

 

I am thankful to my merciful God, who gave me new life.

 I am very thankful and grateful to my parents who gives reasons to live with them and love the world selflessly.

I really want to thank all the writers who wrote beautiful books out of their thoughts. To Write thought anywhere is one of the vigorous job. You have to show your confidence on your words and faith on your thoughts that are delivered to public at large.

Faith and Confidence will make you anything. Faith on you and Confidence on you words given to others. These Qualities really teach me many things everyday. With this I could go beyond my Imagination. My Confidence driven by some thoughts and book made me from failure to star and now my thoughts and failure making me loser. I am losing everyday from me. I will again, I have faith on me, too.



Where is the difference?

The difference is between faith and mistrust on your values created by your own habits. If you are having right habits then you would be more focused and determined to your work. You can drive your habits with your discipline. I lost my discipline somewhere. I want to gain it.

The difference is between confidence and over confidence. When you have confidence that’s great but its over on you, you will be over. In this I wrote “Confidence” word 3 times thinking I will correct it by auto correct. But I was wrong on fourth time I also wrote same spelling wrongly, why? My Over confidence. Secondly my acceptance level of my mistake. I am humiliated many time due to my this nature by my seniors. I always tried to pass on the bad result’s reasons and reasons for my mistake on the other persons and situation, but never thought on Improving me. These were due to my ego, my crave of fame, learning about diplomacy not being diplomatic.

Humiliation should get converted to humility. But …………………..

I remembered one advise from my close friend Mr. Mahipalsingh Girase, to create a confidence in right manner, I should start reading Shreemad Bhagwad Geeta again.

Thank you Mother Terresa, I am taking oath to create some change everyday in me.



I remembered a thing about mistake by Mother Terresa once I read:

“These are the few ways we can practice humility:

To speak as little as possible of one's self.

To mind one's own business.

Not to want to manage other people's affairs.

To avoid curiosity.

To accept contradictions and correction cheerfully.

To pass over the mistakes of others.

To accept insults and injuries.

To accept being slighted, forgotten and disliked.

To be kind and gentle even under provocation.

Never to stand on one's dignity.

To choose always the hardest.”


― 
Mother Teresa, The Joy in Loving: A Guide to Daily Living

 

2.   What did I learn today?

 

I learnt very less today compared to yesterday, but this writing taught me above things related to my confidence and over confidence. I tried to learn to create some discipline in my life.

My loving and wise uncle, Mr. Shantibhai Patel (Shanti Kaka) gave ana amazing Sanskrit Subhashit.

हंसः श्वेतः बकः श्वेतः को भेदः बकहंसयोः |

नीरक्षीरविवेके तु हंसो हंसः बको बकः ||

haMsaH shvetaH bakaH shvetaH ko bhedaH bakahaMsayoH

nIrakShIraviveke tu haMso haMsaH bako bakaH



Meaning:

A swan is white, a stork is white. What's the difference between the swan and the stork? When it comes to the knowledge of water and milk, a swan is a swan and a stork is a stork.

Allegory says that, a swan has the capability of separating milk from water. If a bowl of milk and water is offered, it is supposed to have the ability to take only the milk particles and leave behind, the water! The stork obviously doesn't posses this skill. He might look like a swan, be with a swan, fly, walk or act like a swan. But it doesn't make him a swan.

I have to find my character now. Who I am now and was 10 years before.

 


 

3.   Where did I do a good job?

 

Today I created my own wedding card design. Papa appreciated me and told me to circulate.

I could say, I did good job by remembering my promise to me to answer my five champion questions.

I shared lot of love with my Fiancée Bhumika. I tried to make him strong and happy. I guided her for few of her problems. I also used some bad words (not abusive one) with her. I am sorry, but at that time I thought it was necessary to speak them. I am sorry, I will never use it again.

 

कुठेतरी आपण चूकतोय;

कुठे चूक राह्यली ती मी पण शोधतोय;

चल गडे थोडासा मनाचा आभ्यास करूया|

चल गडे आपली पण चूक शोधूया|

चल गडे थो...डस जग जिंकूया ||

-      By me.

-       

4.     Who was I valuable to today? (Where was I helpful today to somebody?)

 

At nobody.

 

5.     How did I take care of myself today?

 

Today, I failed to take care of my physical health.

Mentally : I learnt and tried to by heart the subhashit which I wrote above.

Emotionally: I shared my true feelings with my childhood friend Ronak Patel, my Priyankadidi regarding my Marriage Invitation. I took care to control my thoughts and tried get them into a right direction.

 

I enjoyed writing this. Meet you in the next blog. Comment your views. Thank you.

Inspired from Five Questions for Champions - by Ron Kurtus






I started writing for me with the new thought of a book.

I have just read outlines. I will read the whole book soon.

The School for Champions philosophy divides Life into five major areas:
  • Character,
  • Knowledge,
  • Excellence,
  • Value and
  • Health.

To have a fulfilled life, you must succeed in all of these areas. By asking yourself five simple questions each day, you will be move toward a happy, fulfilled and successful life.

Ask yourself the following questions every day:
What am I thankful for today?
What did I learn today?
Where did I do a good job?
Who was I valuable to today?
How did I take care of myself today?

Five Champion Questions to my self – 02-Nov-2020


Today I am starting writing to me regarding the five Champion Questions to me.

By this I will share my life with you. It was today

1.       1. What am I great full to today?

I am Grateful to my God who gave me another life today. I am grateful to my parents who gave me chance and guidance to live great life ahead, in spite of my careless behavior towards my schedule I am living. I am grateful to Ashishbhai and Mandanisir for guiding me and drawing my thoughts.

2.  2. Where was I helpful today to somebody?

I tried but could not help anybody. I will try tomorrow.

3.  3.  Where did I good job?

I think I did a good job by learning and sharing my mistake and sharing my experience with Bhumika, regarding to learn to take experience and know path how the great people reached to the place where I want to reach and see my self. Bhumika was having question to tolerate the politics in his office or not. I explained her that the question might have came to other in the same organization you work. Observe, learn and apply the best practices in our lives is important thing.



तर्कोऽप्रतिष्ठः श्रुतयो विभिन्ना नैको ऋषिर्यस्य मतं प्रमाणम्।

धर्मस्य तत्त्वं निहितं गुहायाम् महाजनो येन गतः सः पन्थाः॥

(Mahabharat – Yudhishthir says to Yaksh)

I also remembered Shree Bhagwad Geeta

यद्यदाचरति श्रेष्ठस्तत्तदेवेतरो जनः

यत्प्रमाणं कुरुते लोकस्तदनुवर्तते ।।3.21 Bhagwad Geeta।।

Whatsoever a great man does, that other men also do
Whatever he sets as the standard, that the world follows

But question here lies, Who is great in my eyes, that I need to decide or else again महाजनो येन गतः सः पन्थाः॥

4.4.   What did I learn today?

I am grateful to Ashishbhai, he shared a wonderful theory “The Law of Wasted Effort”.

Do you know that lions only succeed in a quarter of their hunting attempts — which means they fail in 75% of their attempts and succeeds in only 25% of them. Despite this small percentage shared by most predators, they don't despair in their pursuit and hunting attempts. The main reason for this is not because of hunger as some might think but it is the understanding of the “Law of Wasted Efforts” that have been instinctively built into animals, a law in which nature is governed.



Half of the eggs of fishes are eaten...

half of the baby bears die before puberty...

most of the world's rains fall in oceans... and

most of the seeds of trees are eaten by birds.

Scientists have found that animals, trees, and other forces of nature are more receptive to the law of "wasted efforts". Only humans think that the lack of success in a few attempts is failure... but the truth is that:  

We only fail when we "stop trying".

Success is not to have a life free of pitfalls and falls... but success is to walk over your mistakes and go beyond every stage where your efforts were wasted looking forward to the next stage.

If there is a word that summarizes this world, it will simply be: continue all over again.

I learnt not to stop trying, do not fail to put efforts, Continue Again.


5.5.        How did I take care of my self?

Physically – I did one round Surynamaskar. But I could take care more than this by doing more. I took Ayurvedik supplements so that I can keep my self healthy and fit.

Mentally: I read book of Robin Sharma, Who will cry when you die. “Talk to your self” chapter teaches, Hazrat Inayat Khan said, “The words that enlighten the soul are more precious then jewels.” I again starting chanting God’s name.

Emotionally: I shared my feelings with me and my Bhumika. I cried in love and shared how important Bhumika and my family for me.

 

 


I started writing this because I wanted to start my journal everyday. I will share my everyday thoughts with this.

THAT IS WHAT MAKES IT SO SPECIAL


Imagination!
Creativity!
Creative Fancy Thoughts!
Mind's Eye!
Insight scenes!
Conception!

Have you ever knew about the Terabithia? 

It is an imaginary kingdom. The Kingdom was plotted in the novel Bridge to Terabithia. It is a work of children's literature about two lonely children who create a magical forest kingdom in their imaginations. It was written by Katherine Paterson and was published in 1977 by Thomas Crowell. 


"Just close your eyes and keep your mind wide open." - Katherine Paterson
What else you can do with you and your mind? Have you imagined and created your dream area? Can you close the routine world and open your mind?  How many things became reality?
After knowing this, I too have an imaginary world within me.

When I sit with my self, I imagine the world that may be or may not be. I create my own world, my dream world. I assume people, acts and situations that I have seen or not seen, felt or not, faced or not, happened with me or not. I forgive people, I learn from people and try to inculcate new ideas of others. I assume I will perform this when the lady will come, I will perform that when the person will come, I will do this when something will happen. I play sports, I play instruments, I sing, I holler, I shout. I cry sometimes, too. I fight, I lose against some people. I regularly sit with a lady and share everything. (I do not have any girlfriend but a best friend, philosopher and guide). I create a huge castle, I demolish bad castles. I create a room where I have my own space and things of my dream. Creating a position in my career. I can assume how I will look if I become something! What if I become this and that? Etc.Etc.Etc. This is endless.

There is little fantasy in my imagination when I go to a different world of my assumption. I really enjoy the world which exists or not. (I don't care!). You have to catch those places which never leaves you, the place should keep holding you every time you sit. Two meeting of like minds can conquer hard realities. (Jay Vasavda's book ' Jai Ho'). During such the state of mind many times, I also get consciences. People around me are guiding me over there. The lady (with whom I sit regularly in my imagination) is giving lessons to me. Getting some signs to redevelop my inner thoughts and deeds. I win and I lose, too.


After all the above some imaginations and assumptions became true and some are going to be. (I have hope on it.) Some can not become, some can become true with the help of something and somebody.

Hope you are also doing the same, sometime, somewhere, in your imaginations and assumptions! I may be there in your imagination or not, but yes I am sure that you have enjoyed the little moment.

I have a beautiful, creative, outstanding lady, who creates her imagination into real things and make her world happy-happy. And yes she is real, not my imagination!


That is what makes it so special!! That is what makes you special.

Power Quote: 
Imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world. – Albert Einstein
Power Punch: 
Fairy tales are real. Not because it talks about monsters, but because monsters can be defeated.

Keep Your Mind Wide Open 

Have you ever seen the sky so
Beautiful, colourful
Wide and wonderful
Have you ever felt the sunshine so
Brilliantly raining down
Oh the unity
Have you ever wanted more?
Wanted more?
You’ve got to keep your mind wide open
All the possibilities
You’ve got to live with your eyes open
Believe in what you see
Think of all the days you’ve wasted
Worrying, wondering
Hopelessly hoping
Think of all the time ahead
Don’t hesitate, contemplate
No it’s not too late
Have you ever wanted more?
Wanted more?
Don’t you know there’s so much more
You’ve got to keep your mind wide open
All the possibilities
You’ve got to live with your eyes open
Believe in what you see
Tomorrows horizons full of surprises
Don’t let them take your dreams away
You’ve got to keep your mind wide open
All the possibilities
You’ve got to live with your eyes open
Believe in what you see
You’ve got to keep your mind wide open
All the possibilities
You’ve got to live with your eyes open
Believe in what you see
You’ve got to keep your mind wide open
Believe in what you see
You’ve got to live with your eyes open
Believe in what you see

- AnnaSophia Robb

Prepare for the Glory and Fight For the Honor









Today morning, I read few stories and concluded that when you are fighting for something, the fight may not save you but some other important things. Though you know you are not going to win the battle, you must fight in it. It is matter of honour, pride, saving from shame. The most important thing is not only the winning situation but other things, too.

Maharana Pratap, Guru Teghbahadursingh, and some Fighters from Gujarat fought not only to win the battle but for pride, for the glory of the society, to save the honour.

You may recap these movies, Mangal Padey, Asoka, LOC, the Gladiator. Remembered the movie 300 ! 300 soldiers fought against the million. Is it justified battle?

“Persian: Our arrows will blot out the sun.
Stelios: Then we will fight in the shade.”

Will you go to  fight the lost battle? But they said, he who fought was won, he could not fight, was lost.

Why I am telling all about these things right now?

Its because I relate it with my battle to become Chartered Accountant.

Since 2015, I am used to listen that when I am going to complete my CA exams. I used to say every time, every attempt, that, this is going to be the last attempt. I do not worry about my results but yes I do worry about my family's honour. I always fight for my pride and I will continue it till the last breath.

Because, I prepare for the glory, even I knew I will lose the battle.

Fight For your dreams, your Dreams will Fight For you;
Smile at every phase of your life, the world will smile with you.
Make someone smile, the God will make wish for you.
This is the Power of your dreams!!!
