			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Few days back I was told by one of my clients that he had visited my blog and liked it very much. He said that he was happy to see resourceful material available here.</p>
<p>I felt good and I am <em>not bragging</em> here <strong>to impress you</strong>. What I actually want to tell you is that the client of mine ended his talk by telling me that although the posts he read were quite useful to him (providing him<strong> insights, tools and perspectives</strong>), he could not decide easily which one to read depending on what<strong> he actually needed in that moment</strong>.</p>
<p>He asked me to do a favor for him, so that a visitor like him, who wants to read on specific issues can<strong> easily find a relevant article</strong>. I understood what he was looking for and wanting me to do.</p>
<p>For any blog, this is an issue that <span style="text-decoration: underline;">old content gets buried as new stuff keeps on coming</span>. This is because a blog is organized like a journal in a chronological order with the newest content at the top. There are ways to find what you are looking for using a manual search, categories search or tags search (and yes a <strong>blog design can be modified</strong> to make things more easily accessible, but that would take a long some more time for me to implement!)</p>
<p>However I got motivated and decided to provide my readers with a post that will guide them find what they are looking for in that moment.</p>
<p>The content on this site (<span style="text-decoration: underline;">up till now</span>) is organized below in this article. Hope this shall help you more in<strong> making the best use of your invested time at this site.  </strong>I went back to my old posts,<strong> thought why I actually wrote them</strong>, and then categorized them based on various insights or content concepts.<span id="more-2044"></span></p>
<p>Please<strong> bookmark</strong> this post, <strong>send an email</strong> to your friend, <strong>share it on Facebook and Twitter</strong> or share it in any other way you want.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span class="shortcode-highlight"><strong>It&#8217;s a good list, so do not forget to save this article for future easy access.</strong></span><!--/.shortcode-highlight--></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><div class="woo-sc-hr"></div></p>
<h3 style="text-align: left;">The God Is Always Right</h3>
<p>If you have <strong>any complaint</strong> against the almighty or don&#8217;t understand <em>why bad things have happened to you</em> or believe that <strong>you are the most unlucky one in this world</strong>, then you need to get a better perspective on this.</p>
<p>You may not be as unlucky as this little girl. Everything that happens to us (even if it is <em>extremely intolerable at times</em>) has <strong>a higher purpose for our personal growth</strong>. We may or may not be aware about it, but<span style="text-decoration: underline;"> it exists!</span></p>

<h3>PROBLEMS in LIFE</h3>
<p><em>&#8220;Problems are inevitable, suffering is optional&#8221;</em>, someone has rightly said. Sometimes suffering is essential, I believe. The critical point when you are faced with any problem in life is<strong> how you look at them</strong> and what<strong> meaning you attach to them</strong>.</p>

<h3>Overcoming Fear</h3>
<p>If you are trapped by fear, immobilized and not able to move further in your life, there is<em> nothing better</em> than bringing in LOVE in that situation. <strong>It works.. </strong></p>
<p>It is <strong>more powerful</strong> to bring in LOVE than to fight to get rid of fear. I have my personal powerful experiences to share.</p>

<h3>Uncertainty Of Life</h3>
<p>Life is not always predictable. You are not sure what will happen in your next moment. Things are overwhelming and also difficult to handle at times when they enter into our life unexpectedly. Sometimes you<em> don&#8217;t see the benefits of your efforts put in</em>. During this time one critical thing to do is to <strong>keep moving forward with FAITH</strong>.</p>

<h3>We Are Spiritually Awake Since Childhood</h3>
<p>Do you believe that<em> we turn towards spirituality when we get old</em>?  Or do you believe that<em> we exist with only physical awareness  until we get trapped in life&#8217;s problems and suffer a lot</em>?</p>
<p>Just have a look at this post. My personal experience and awakening. <strong>We are born with spiritual connection and awareness</strong>, the bond is broken<strong> as we get conditioned</strong>.</p>

</ul>
</div>
<h3>Purpose of Life</h3>
<p>This is a <strong>common quest</strong> for the most. What&#8217;s my purpose here?</p>
<p>I have talked about it at many places throughout this site, but this post is specifically for it. This was written<span style="text-decoration: underline;"> in very early days of this blog</span>. It is one of the popular posts. Worth looking into it.</p>

<h3>The Only Real Constraint In Life Is What You Create For Yourself</h3>
<p>If you think that you don&#8217;t have enough resources to follow your dreams or you are physically, financially or in any other way not favored by to do what you really want to do in life, this post shall <strong>give you a paradigm shift</strong>. Inspiring! <strong>A story worth sharing&#8230;</strong></p>

</ul>
</div>
<h3>Being Yourself</h3>
<p>I stress on <strong>being yourself</strong>. Getting rid of conditioning,<strong> finding your true-self,</strong> and then living life from that position is what I am after spreading among people. There are many posts that talk about these issues.</p>
<p>If you want to <strong>connect with your True Nature</strong> and creatively <strong>contribute to this world by Being Yourself</strong>, then here is the list-</p>
<div class="woo-sc-box normal   full">

</ul>
</div>
<h3>Getting rid of Limiting Patterns</h3>
<p>There are some<strong> habits (or patterns)</strong> which create obstacles for our personal growth and living life to our full potential. They result from our conditioning. You <em>repeatedly do the same things</em> which<strong> do not help you achieve what you want,</strong> still you continue to do <strong>expecting new results</strong>. I have explored few of them&#8230;</p>
<div class="woo-sc-box normal   full">

</ul>
</div>
<h3>Living Consciously</h3>
<p>Most of us live life without being consciously aware about what is actually happening to us. We are<strong> just driven to act (or react)</strong> as per our habits. Sometimes we live our full potential, but <em><strong>we don&#8217;t know how it happened and what made it happen. </strong></em>I encourage you to become<em> more conscious about how you explore life.</em> There are some articles for that:</p>
<div class="woo-sc-box normal   full">
<ul>
<li><a title="Are You Ready To Embrace The Shift In Your Awareness?" href="http://resourcefullife.net/spirituality/are-you-ready-to-embrace-the-shift-in-your-awareness/" target="_blank">Are you ready to embrace the shift in your awareness</a></li>

<li><a title="Personal Development With Conscious Awareness" href="http://resourcefullife.net/spirituality/personal-development-with-conscious-awareness/" target="_blank">Personal Development with Conscious Awareness</a></li>
</ul>
</div>
<h3>Good Habits To Form</h3>
<p>Some of the ways of living can trigger inside you <strong>Your True Self</strong> (a part of you- <strong>beyond your conditioned-self</strong>), help you connect with your true nature and makes things more resourceful. These are <strong>new resourceful ways of living</strong>. The more you live this way, the <span style="text-decoration: underline;">more productive, conscious and resourceful you become.</span></p>

<h3>Law Of Attraction And Quantum Mechanics</h3>
<p>If you know how<strong> quantum mechanics and the law of attraction work</strong>, or want to know more about it, you may find lots of articles and resource materials all around world wide web. I haven&#8217;t yet touch them more in this blog. Couple of posts-</p>

<h3>Taking Actions</h3>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Nothing is going to change in your physical reality unless you take actions</span>. I believe in taking Inspired Actions. These are not just reactions to what happens in your life and you do something. These are<strong> the concrete steps that you take</strong> as you feel<strong> inspired by connecting with your true self.</strong></p>

<h3>Learning From Our Day To Day Experiences</h3>
<p>How do day to day life experiences teach you important personal growth lessons?</p>
<p>If you are <strong>open to receive new insights</strong>, you will be <em>provided in your routine lif</em>e. You absorb this insights and your awareness expands. Find out what I have been able to get up to this point-</p>

		<img src="http://resourcefullife.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/Quote1.jpg" width="240" />
		</p><p>You are <strong>special</strong> and you have a <strong>special role</strong> to play in this world. You are unique and the world needs your uniqueness. <span style="text-decoration: underline;">Keeping it with you is selfishness</span>. So let your uniqueness<em> flow</em>.</p>
<p>You might have learned not to express your uniqueness as you might have been told to follow others. You might have learned that your UNIQUENESS has no value as you see others doing better than you in some areas. But don&#8217;t confuse other people&#8217;s unique expression as a competition to your own creative and unique self-expression.</p>
<p>You have a special job to do in this world. You have a special place to live from in this world. <span style="text-decoration: underline;">You deserve that</span>. No matter whatever you have convinced yourself with up to this point in life, this TRUTH remains that <strong>YOU are UNIQUE</strong> and <strong>your UNIQUENESS is required</strong> to be expressed for the benefit of this world.<span id="more-2015"></span></p>
<p><strong>Break those chains</strong> that are holding you from expressing your UNIQUENESS. Do not play small when you can hit big shots. No one benefits when you sabotage yourself &#8211; not you and not others. You don&#8217;t have a right to keep others from benefiting from the unique value that you can offer to them if you decide to commit yourself to it.</p>
<p><strong>Look within</strong>, Connect with your uniqueness, Share what your heart has to say -<span style="text-decoration: underline;"> the people who can benefit will gather automatically</span>. It happens that way, but you won&#8217;t know until you do it.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://resourcefullife.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/Quote1.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2029" style="border-style: initial; border-color: initial; border-width: 0px;" title="Quote" src="http://resourcefullife.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/Quote1.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="335" /></a></p>
<p>You have come from the same source from where all great minds have come and went back. You have the same resources to access as others have. Start being yourself in the present moment and you change your future. Even the past you have experienced will be seen differently.</p>
<p>Take small steps but keep moving. You are unique my friend, and that&#8217;s the TRUTH.</p>
<p>What you believe right now about yourself and the world around you is<strong> what you have learned to believe</strong>. <span style="text-decoration: underline;">What you truly are is beyond your beliefs</span>. It is the ultimate TRUTH.  You are a <strong>sacred soul</strong> who has come onto this planet to express its UNIQUENESS. Do not let the spirit inside you die while you LIVE here physically on this planet. Instead let yourself get<strong> inspired (in-spirit)</strong> and manifest your UNIQUENESS.</p>
<p>You might have been taught to follow others and walk in the footsteps laid down by others. But my dear friend, that path may not be for you where you live your full potential. It does not add value to this world. You are UNIQUE and your UNIQUENESS is required by others, <strong>that is the TRUTH (yes, I repeat!)</strong></p>
<p>It is safe to play small. It is safe to walk on the paths others have already explored, but<strong> you miss the JOY that comes from crafting your own track.</strong></p>

Being Unique</p>

<p>Recently I was called by one of my parents clients and asked for an appointment. We had met around one and half year ago for their little cute daughter (around 6 years old) <strong>who could not effectively handle separation when she was sent to her school.</strong> Parents were explained and then she could manage to get adjusted with her school environment.</p>
<p>Now as she moved from a pre-school into her school years, the issue has once again re-surfaced. This time the severity is perceived to be more than the last time, as the school authority had called her parents and informed that she kept on crying and remembering her mother in the school. She would become alright after coming back home and would remain happy until night before going to bed <strong>when she would once again start having anxiety and would cry and ask her parents not to send her school.</strong></p>
<p>Another kid that I had an opportunity to help him in the similar situation used to vomit in the school when he cried at his peak.</p>
<p>In my personal experience, when my son Aaryan had joined his pre-school, he also experienced separation anxiety <strong>which was more than average</strong>.</p>
<p>Most of us as parents <em>know</em> that these experiences are<strong> time-limiting</strong> and would go away as a child would continue to go to school. Yet getting overwhelmed, frustrated and tired is also a common occurrence. <strong>We are not taught to handle such situations</strong>. We may <em>unknowingly</em> make mistakes if if we don&#8217;t know <strong>what is appropriate for both of us</strong> (children and parents).</p>
<p>When you see your child crying to his or her peak, tears following on cheeks and tightly clinging to you, things become difficult to handle. The kid is really scared in this situation. Parents are perplexed and confused what to do. You may not let him separate from you for a day or two, but when you see that it is the pattern that is getting established, you worry how to fix it. <strong>You start doubting whether what you are doing is appropriate or not.</strong></p>
<p>Few years back, I had prepared <strong>a small report (compilation of my understanding, suggestions and a support hand-out)</strong> that I would give to my clients for their reference. Some parents have found it to be very useful. It&#8217;s short and simple. Not at all detailed. Not at all technical. But quite useful as people have told me.</p>
<p>I want to share it with you too. You can download it and share with your friends and family. There is no opt-in required. You can post it wherever you feel that it will be helpful. Also your feedback is as always appreciated.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><div class="woo-sc-box normal   full">

<p style="text-align: center;"></div></p>
<p>The final message in the report is <strong>worth mentioning</strong> here:</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;Parenting is a skill to be developed, not a knowledge to be gathered!&#8221;</p></blockquote>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Long time and no update at my blog. I also now see that it has really been a very long time since I last updated my content here. Where was actually I during this period of hibernation? Yes, I did not show up here on this blog post, and I know those of you who read my posts would be upset, angry or even not bothered!</p>
<p>Yes, I was not at this blog, but let me tell you that <strong>the project (Re</strong><strong>sourceful Life) kept on evolving inside me</strong>. Many things have changed for me during this time. Some <em>new way of living</em> has been integrated inside me, and one of them is <strong>writing a journal</strong>. And that is what I want to talk about in this blog post.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter" src="http://mrg.bz/IcoX8k " alt="" width="600" height="441" /></p>
<p>As I have written elsewhere in this blog (I think in this post – <a href="http://resourcefullife.net/spirituality/purpose-of-life/" target="_blank">Purpose of Life</a>), that I <em>always had difficulty</em> expressing myself through writing (even during my school and college examinations); writing a journal was <strong>a very remote event for me</strong>. I must have read and heard about its usefulness, but had <em>never implemented it</em> until I came across <a href="http://resourcefullife.net/recommends/strategicprofits_bgs_webinar" target="_blank">Rich Schefren&#8217;s work</a>. He is an <strong>online entrepreneur</strong> and helps other entrepreneurs achieve online success by teaching them business and personal growth strategies. He operates in the Online Business Growth niche, but I think he would me as much or even more successful if he starts operating in the Personal Development niche too. He <em>does have</em> a background in <strong>hypnosis and NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming)</strong> after all.</p>
<p>You can know more about him at his site: <a href="http://strategicprofits.com" target="_blank">Strategic Profits.</a> I want to come back to my main point of this blog-post and that is <strong>Journal Writing</strong>.</p>
<p>Rich Schefren has talked about in one of his powerful reports (<strong>The Hidden Obstacles To Your Success</strong>) that if you can develop and integrate <em>only one critical habit</em> &#8211; that is: <strong>Journal Writing</strong> &#8211; into yourself, it’s a big step in achieving the success you want in your life. <strong>And I have experienced it personally</strong>. I have <em>really felt</em> the <strong>power</strong> this process of writing has.</p>
<p>For last few weeks, I have been regularly writing into <a href="http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/onenote/" target="_blank">Microsoft Office OneNote</a> (typing, to be very specific!). I have created a Notebook named <strong>My Journal</strong> (which is password protected!) and I sit down with my laptop, and start typing the stuff going on within me.</p>
<p><em><span style="text-decoration: underline;">This has really made a difference into my life in last few weeks.</span></em></p>
<p>First let me tell you how actually I do this process and then I will talk about how it can help you achieve your goals faster.</p>
<h1>Why Do I Type Than Write?</h1>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://mrg.bz/PnwToY " alt="" width="497" height="373" /></p>
<p>As told before, I <em>always had a difficulty</em> in written expression (may be dyslexia or may be lack of practice or ineffective writing habit). I also write <em>slower than average</em> (or that is what I think).</p>
<p>So, I experimented with <strong>typing</strong>. Initially it was just to see whether I enjoy the process or not. Then I also realized that typing will help me create an instant digital copy of what I want to express. This copy can be modified and used as I want anytime in future. Plus, writing into Microsoft Office OneNote is <em>really an enjoyable experience</em> as you also have options of creating certain drawings, adding audios and videos if you want. Combine use of my keyboard and pen-tablet makes the process more useful. You can even keep your stuff <strong>password protected</strong>, so no worries that someone will read your very personal stuff. This actually gives me <strong>more freedom and truthfulness</strong> to what I write into my journal.</p>
<p>Now I am quite comfortable doing it in <strong>a typing way!</strong></p>
<h1>Asking Questions Triggers The Flow</h1>
<p>When I sit down writing into my journal pages, initial few minutes things <em>don&#8217;t come easily to me</em>. It takes time for me to come back to myself from my distractions. If I feel that I am not easily getting rid of distractions, I write few questions on the top of my page like:</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;What do I <em>really want to say</em> to myself right now?</p>
<p>Am I <em>really moving forward</em> towards my goal?</p>
<p>Did I live my life with <strong>integrity</strong> in last few days?</p>
<p>What do I <em>really want</em> to have in my life right now?</p>
<p>Am I really on the <strong>right track</strong>?</p>
<p>Am I really doing things <strong>which are essential</strong> for me to create a life I want?</p></blockquote>
<p>After asking questions to myself like above, I get into actual writing mode. Then things flow and my feelings and thoughts start taking shapes of words and sentences. You can see here that my journal writing does not only include what has happened in my life in last few days, <strong>I actually trigger the core of my being</strong>.</p>
<h1>Resistance In Being Myself</h1>
<p>I had felt resistance in my initial days of writing a journal. I felt that it was <strong>futile and waste of time doing that stuff</strong>. I felt that getting to work was more essential. But now I have realized that writing a journal helps me know <strong>which work to get on with</strong>. It really helps you <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">clarify</span></strong> what you are required to focus on.</p>
<p>Initially I kept on writing circumstantially and was not really touching the core aspect of my being which I think is essential if you want maximum benefits out of your writing exercise. There was <strong>something inside me</strong> that kept me from connecting with true self of mine.</p>
<p>But as I continued it for few more days, I became better at connecting with the <strong>Real Me</strong>.</p>
<h1>How Can It Help You Achieve Your Goals Faster</h1>
<p>Now the <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">actual benefits</span></strong> that you get from writing a journal. I write not only to document what has happened with me, but to ask myself and take me deeper into my being to get more clarity, focus and integrity.</p>
<p>As I wrote above, if <em>you persist</em> with<strong> initial resistance</strong>, you then dive deeper into yourself and connect with the <strong>Real You,</strong> which generally remains hidden in our day to day life experiences. And when you meet the <strong>Real You</strong>, <span style="text-decoration: underline;">you realize your <strong>purpose in life</strong></span>. You come to know which of your actions are<strong> essential and are congruent</strong> with what you really want to have in life.</p>
<p>You also come to know what words and sentences you generally use in your day to day life. You would pick up some of the words that repeatedly come into your experiences. You have habitually learned to use those words to describe your life events. And If you use an another powerful similar word in place of the original, <strong>your experience changes too.</strong></p>
<p>You <em>reflect more consciously</em> on your past experiences. When you had actually experienced an event, you may not have consciously looked at it. But when you later on write about it in your journal, you see things <strong>in a more illuminated form</strong>. <span style="text-decoration: underline;">You tend to see which you had not seen before.</span></p>
<p><strong>You bring clarity into your living</strong>. Journal Writing helps <span style="text-decoration: underline;">removing unwanted thinking and feeling patterns</span>. The conditional way of feeling gratification in the present moment that keeps you from working on your essential action steps comes into light. You realize that some of the actions that you take are not the ones you need to get involved more. They are distractions or <strong>immediate pleasure-giving activities</strong> that keep you from taking the essential steps.</p>
<p>So in short, you become <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>more conscious</strong></span> about your experiences. <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Clarity</strong></span> comes into your living. Your actions become <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">more focused</span></strong>. Your words become <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">more powerful</span></strong>. Your feelings get verbalized. And you live <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">more resourcefully</span></strong>.</p>
<p>To your Resourceful Life,<br />

It does not mean I am getting rid of all pleasures and scientific advances of our times. No way. That would be Isolation, not Simplification.</p>
<p>I have always been committed to grow this blog&#8217;s content and its readership, yet things are not flowing easily in this area for me. I often feel that I am pulled in different directions by different needs of mine and demands of life. Focusing is difficult for me, nowadays.</p>
<p>I have always remained open for new insights to emerge inside me, so that I can consciously direct the course of my life.</p>
<p><strong>Simplifying life is critical for me to live my life&#8217;s purpose.</strong></p>
<blockquote><p>What is this?</p>
<p>What am I trying to say in this blog post?</p>
<p>Are your driven to make things complex?<strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>Do you always feel the lack of completeness in simplifying?</strong></p></blockquote>
<p>In this short post, I share my thoughts on simplifying your life. No complex &amp; logical arguments! Simply writing down whatever is coming into my awareness.</p>
<blockquote><p>Life does not need to be complicated. In fact, it&#8217;s really not. We make it complex.</p></blockquote>
<p>- These are<strong> well said sentences</strong> but few of us integrate the message and implement it into our day to day living.</p>
<p>Simplifying makes living easier. <strong>You flow rather than struggle!</strong></p>
<p>Clarity improves. Intuitions enter into your awareness. You move elegantly on your path. You manifest effortlessly.</p>
<p>The thinking that you do in your head needs not be complex to achieve success in your life. Even if you learn to manipulate people and events by thinking complex patterns, you don&#8217;t enjoy the process. It satisfies your Ego but not the Soul. The soul needs simplicity. <strong>By simplifying, the soul performs complex tasks!</strong></p>
<p>Simplifying brings awareness about your True Self. You become aware that you exist beyond this mind and body.</p>
<p>Your day to day work becomes easier to it get done. You get alignment with your feelings, take notes of them and your actions emerge out of this awareness.</p>
<p>I agree that your mind is capable of doing complex work. You don&#8217;t need to stop exercising your mind and stretching its limits. I want to say here that <strong>don&#8217;t let complexity be your habit of living!</strong></p>
<p>Life secrets can be understood by <strong>simply being aware</strong> about your existence. <strong>Analyzing life</strong> does not provide you the Real Insight.</p>
<p>In WWW also, there are sites which are complex to navigate. It becomes difficult to learn from those pages. You get lost. On the other hand, there are websites which are simple to explore. You get easily involved in those pages, and in no time <strong>you absorb a good amount of information from them.</strong> Simplifying makes learning easier!</p>
<p>I appreciate <a href="http://resourcefullife.net/recommends/louise_hay_homepage">Louise Hay</a> for her simple yet every effective talks on spirituality and personal development. She uses simple words to convey her message. She explains concepts like re-incarnation, mind-body healing, law of attraction and many more in a very simple language. These are not heavy concepts to understand as told by many, instead they are <strong>simple facts of our existence.</strong></p>
<p>Practice simplifying how you think about life, and see how various areas of life becomes <strong>easier</strong> for your to live with.</p>
<p>Using simple words and short sentences<strong> brings clarity </strong>in your message. Let&#8217;s learn to express ourselves simply, so that people don&#8217;t have to<strong> make efforts to understand what we want them to</strong>.</p>
<p>Have a Simple &amp; Resourceful Life,</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Sudeep Shroff</strong><br />
Simplifying&#8230;</p>

<p>I had just joined the medical college. I shifted from my home city to the place where the college was located. In those initial days, I was feeling very <strong>home sick</strong>. I had never stayed away from my home anytime before that.</p>
<p>Just to kill some time and to get rid of home-sick feeling, I left my hostel room, and was wandering around a railway station. I don&#8217;t remember now, how and why I was attracted to a bookstall near the railway station.</p>
<p>Not knowing what to look for, I just started going through various magazines placed in one of the shelves of the bookstall.</p>
<p>Suddenly my eyes saw and read &#8216;<a href="http://resourcefullife.net/recommends/awakenthegiantwithin_flipkart" target="_blank">Awaken the giant within</a>&#8216; &#8211; a book by <a href="http://www.tonyrobbins.com/" target="_blank">Anthony Robbins</a>. I could not make sense at that time what was it all about, and did not bother to read even the subheading of the book. I just got hooked on it. I think I was blank and then, something inside me asked the bookstall-man to give me the book, so that I could see what it contained.</p>
<p>I scanned through various pages and decided to buy it. That was my <strong>first ever bought Self-help Book!</strong></p>
<p>Since then I started visiting book-stalls (mainly those near railways stations and bus stops, I don&#8217;t know why??). I never missed vising those stalls, and purchasing at least one book, every time I would travel to and back from my home city.</p>
<p>Frankly speaking, I could not read any of those books from start to finish. Every time I started with any book, I continued for few pages from various chapters, felt good about it,  got some insight and then kept the book in my collection. Before I could realize, my collection started growing like <strong>a book shop itself!</strong></p>
<p>Sometimes I thought that <strong>I was addicted to just buying books,</strong> and as I was not reading them completely, I was <strong>wasting money after them!</strong> Although I thought that way, my habit of collecting them continued and it still goes on.</p>
<p>What I now understand that I continued buying and collecting various books as I was getting needed information from each of them. Although I did not read any of those fully, every one of them has contributed in some way in my personal growth.</p>
<p>This may be true for many. I don&#8217;t know. You tell me your experience.</p>
<p>Today, I am happy <img src='http://resourcefullife.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' />  to have lots of books (Personal Development and Self-help related, of course!) in my Clinic&#8217;s library.</p>
<p>I have found various books to be helpful at specific stages of my developmental journey. Even today, when I am looking for something, I just stand in front of my library cabinet, and I will be guided to a book that will provide me with what I am looking for.</p>
<p>Now a days, I explore books on my <a href="http://resourcefullife.net/recommends/htc_desire_flipkart">hTC Desire</a> phone. I have installed <a href="https://market.android.com/details?id=com.amazon.kindle&amp;feature=search_result" target="_blank">Amazon Kindle</a> application and read Ebooks inside it. I also prefer listening to various audio books. I have an account with <a href="http://audible.com" target="_blank">Audible</a> and its related application in my phone.</p>
<p>I have understood from my experience that I can absorb only for which I am ready. I may have inclination for various topics and so may get tempted to buy those books, but they will make sense to me only when I am ready for the content inside them. I have now no regret for my habit of collecting books!</p>
<p>I am eager to know you opinions and experiences related to this post content.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 15px; width:240px;">

		</p><p>We get used to live in our habitual patterns. Solutions to our problems may be nearer, yet we don&#8217;t easily find them. We get so much used to our patterns that we do not see the answers around.</p>
<p>Let me give you an example that may make things clear to you.</p>
<p>I have been using the same laptop and its bag for last three years. The software inside are updated and both (the laptop and its bag) have become an integral part of my life. I carry them with me every day to my workplace and bring them back home in the evening.</p>
<p>It was on that day that I realized a pattern of mine which I was never aware about anytime before. I never opened my laptop bag to its full possible <strong>opened-state</strong>. What I mean by this can be easily understood if you look at the photographs below.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><a href="http://resourcefullife.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/IMG_2707-e1300190823204.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1565" title="Laptop Bag- Half Opened" src="http://resourcefullife.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/IMG_2707-e1300190823204.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="333" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://resourcefullife.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/IMG_2706-e1300190790868.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1566" title="Laptop Bag- Fully Opened" src="http://resourcefullife.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/IMG_2706-e1300190790868.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="333" /></a></p>
<p>Even though the bag had a capacity (or facility) to open fully, I never opened it beyond its <strong>half-opened state</strong>. I continued dealing with it the same old way which I initially learned to open it. The level up to which I opened habitually was enough for me to take the laptop out of it, but opening it up fully could have always helped me when I wanted to take small things (like: headphones, wireless mouse etc.) out of it. Yet, without being aware of its potential to open up fully, I continued handling it in the way I initially learned (i.e.: opening up just enough to take my laptop out).</p>
<p>This did not make much difference to my life. So, I remained in the pattern until one day I lost my USB flash drive. It is very small, and I searched for it everywhere (including inside my laptop bag- with its <strong>half-opened state</strong>), but could not find it.</p>
<p>I was quite upset as it had important information stored inside it for which I did not have any back up.</p>
<p>After few days of anxious search for it, I was exhausted and was resting in my bedroom on that Sunday afternoon. Something inside me made me look <em>again</em> inside my laptop bag. This time I was <strong>intuitively made aware</strong> about the fact that the <strong>bag could be opened up more than I was conditioned to open it </strong>and look for the things inside it.</p>
<p>This time I opened it fully! <strong>To its full potentia</strong>l. Then I could see everything inside my bag very clearly. Rather than searching in my habitual way (<strong>a blind searc</strong>h with my hands inserted into the half-opened state of my bag), I could <strong>see more</strong> inside my same bag.</p>
<p>My USB flash drive was lying deep inside me and waiting for me to grab it! I had searched it there many time before but could not see it until <strong>I acted differently beyond my conditioning!</strong></p>
<p>This experience made me aware about <strong>an important aspect</strong> of life.</p>
<p><strong>We are conditioned to open ourselves to only limited possibilities</strong>. We may not be aware about the fact that <strong>we are more than what we habitually do</strong>. We are more than we habitually think and know.</p>
<p>Efforts required to solve our life-problems are not always need to be dramitc. Instead, they are <strong>just a step ahead</strong> as it was the case with me in my experience shared with you here.</p>
<p>This has changed me from within. If I am not getting the result I want from any activity or project I am doing,<strong> I do not blindly keep working hard </strong>in the same old pattern. Instead, now I take a break. Soon I am shown a new way of dealing with the same work. This time it&#8217;s just <strong>a step up</strong> from my conditioned way of doing things. This changes the output I create.</p>
<p>I have learned to be aware that the potential to create what I desire is already there. It may be the case that <strong>I am not using it fully!</strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This is known to all that you feel comfortable in presence of some people, and get edgy when some other people are around. There must be <strong>something coming from the people we encounter</strong> that might be affecting the way we feel. Or it is just the way we process the people and events around us that make us feel so! What do <em>you</em> believe?</p>
<p>There are many ways by which this phenomenon is explained by different schools of psychology.</p>
<blockquote><p>Have you heard of having a <strong>Real Energy Field</strong> around you?</p></blockquote>
<p>We all carry with ourselves our own unique Energy Field. This field reflects what&#8217;s going on inside us. Our thought content, thinking patterns and emotional state contribute in creating this energy field. This field not only affects the way we relate with the world around us and our body, it affects the <em>actual </em>world and people around us!</p>
<p>Initially, this concept did not resonate well with me. Thinking from the <a href="http://resourcefullife.net/spirituality/newtonian-vs-quantum-mechanics-perspectives/" target="_blank">Newtonian Mechanics Perspective</a>, I found this concept to be very non-scientific and irrational! Now I believe that it is <strong>the most scientific </strong>thing we can talk about.</p>
<p>If you have even the little bit of understanding of Quantum Mechanics (Yes, I am not the master of it and will never be. Currently I am scratching just the surface of it), you will agree with me that at the core, we are all energy beings. And if this is understood by you, then buying into the concept that the frequency at which you vibrate can surely affect the world and people around you, won&#8217;t be that difficult.</p>
<p>I am talking about these concepts here in this blog post, because I have realized that harnessing these concepts can help us a lot in living <strong>a resourceful life</strong>. Like many psychotherapeutic concepts, using the understanding of <strong>Energy Psychology</strong> is essential for creating the life of our desires.</p>
<div id="iampPlayerContainer8328" class="iaPlayer iaOuter" style="width:300px; height:250px;">
</div>
<p><script src="http://embed.iamplify.com/static/js/swfobject.js" type="text/javascript"></script><br />
<script src="http://embed.iamplify.com/samples/38eaa86c-9836-102b-a951-00188b42d77d.ijs?aid=b73690aa&#038;bid=b56c4263&#038;cid=1&#038;did=iampPlayerContainer8328&#038;s=wlarge&#038;base_url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.iamplify.com%2Fstore" type="text/javascript"></script>My understanding in this area started improving since I came across an <strong>Energy Psychiatrist- Judith Orloff, MD</strong>. I don&#8217;t remember at present how I got involved in this area, but let me tell you that in the beginning when I was not ready to accept these ideas, the talks of Judith Orloff did not make much sense to me (as I said in my <a href="http://resourcefullife.net/spirituality/are-you-ready-to-embrace-the-shift-in-your-awareness/" target="_blank">previous post</a> for Caroline Myss). I might have come across her talks many times before and ignored and continued to work and live based on my <strong>traditional psychiatric training</strong>. But as soon as I became ready to take a leap in my personal development journey, all her concepts started making the perfect sense for me to fill the gaps in mylearning.</p>
<p>I have started learning that how I <em>unknowingly</em> <strong>absorb the energy of other people</strong> and <strong>get stuck</strong>. I have understood that I have been taking in the energy of other people without my conscious awareness, and this pattern of mine kept me feel <strong>overwhelmed and exhausted.</strong></p>
<p>The people we come across in our life carry with them their own energy fields. Unknowingly they have learned to vibrate at particular frequency and remain dependent on other people&#8217;s energy field too, to feed their own energy needs. There is no fault of anyone in most of the encounters (as <strong>the process may be quite unconscious</strong>), but if you are not aware about this process going on between you and other people, you cannot take good care of <em>your</em> emotional self. Unknowingly you get trapped, feel exhausted and overwhelmed and do not find any clue for how this must be happening.</p>
<p>The other side of the story is that you also affect the energy field of the people around you. And if you are not aware about this fact, unknowingly you may also be taking advantage of other people&#8217;s energy, and affecting them negatively <strong>even if you don&#8217;t want to do that</strong>. And these people include your loved ones, friends, co-workers and anyone else with whom you come in contact in your daily life.</p>
<p>The more I learn about these concepts, the better I am becoming at dealing with people around me. I have now learned to be conscious of <strong>what I am absorbing, and also what I am emitting. </strong>I take care of myself and also of people around me.</p>
<p>I have learned to <strong>move away</strong> from the situation ,when I realize that my energy patterns are not resourceful and may impact negatively to my loved ones and other people around. I am also learning to connect with the people whose energy patterns can nurture me and help me grow.</p>
<p>This understanding has helped me even protect myself from <strong>getting lost</strong>. This is because now I can perceive when I am getting trapped in the energy patterns of others.</p>
<p>Hope this shall help you too.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>One of the critical concepts in Personal Development is<strong> to be aware</strong> about the fact, that you may be exposed to  various resources in your life at different times, but it is possible that <strong>you may not be ready</strong> for the same at that time! This means that you will come across various tools that can take your life to a higher level, but you <strong>may not recognize or see the value inside them, </strong>until you are ready for it.</p>
<p>The universe is <strong>full of information and energy</strong>. Actually, it is <em>nothing</em> but Information and Energy! Whatever you are looking for or want to have in your life, already exists.  Either someone has manifested it already or it exists in <strong>the pure potential form</strong>. You are not required to hunt for it. It just exists. The <em>only</em> thing required is to get ready for it!</p>
<p>When it is in the pure potential form, it means that the possibility of its manifestation is already there, but not yet realized! When someone like you taps into that possibility it becomes the reality in the physical world.</p>
<p>So,</p>
<blockquote><p>Whatever you need for your personal growth and development, already exists! Either manifested or in the pure potential form!</p></blockquote>
<p>With this fact said, it is also important to keep in mind that in your life you may come across various people, events, tools and other resources that you can use to enhance your life. They are the tools that you need to use to reach to a new level of awareness. Yet, it is possible that,</p>
<blockquote><p>You may not realize their usefulness and value <strong>until you are ready for them!</strong></p></blockquote>
<h3>Yes, this is true in my opinion, and I have experienced it many times.</h3>
<h1>My Experience</h1>
<p><span id="more-1421"></span></p>
<p>When I was in the early phase of my personal development journey, I was very much focused on the <strong>Newtonian Mechanics Perspective</strong>.</p>
<p>(To know more about it, see my article:<a href="http://resourcefullife.net/spirituality/newtonian-vs-quantum-mechanics-perspectives/" target="_blank"> What Do I Know About Newtonian Mechanics Vs Quantum Mechanics Perspectives?</a>)</p>
<p>During those days, I explored various psychotherapeutic methods and self-help techniques for me and my clients, that would <em>logically</em> make sense to me. If they resonated with my <strong>logical and scientific (!)</strong> viewpoints of that time, I would accept them and discard the rest.</p>
<p>During that time, I also came across self-help and healing methods that would stem from the <strong>Quantum Mechanics Perspective</strong>. As I had not explored that area anytime before, I discarded those methods as non-scientific and not effective without getting into and making efforts to know them. The reason that I now believe for it is: <strong>I was not ready for them!</strong></p>
<p>Let me tell you that I came across <a href="http://www.myss.com/" target="_blank">Caroline Myss</a>&#8216;s works few years back. At that time, I was exploring traditional psychotherapeutic methods to bring change in a person. I was in Dr <a href="http://resourcefullife.net/recommends/waynedyer" style="" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" onmouseover="self.status='http://resourcefullife.net/recommends/waynedyer';return true;" onmouseout="self.status=''">Wayne Dyer</a>&#8216;s books and his work, and found that there was a book or a talk of  Dr <a href="http://resourcefullife.net/recommends/waynedyer" style="" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" onmouseover="self.status='http://resourcefullife.net/recommends/waynedyer';return true;" onmouseout="self.status=''">Wayne Dyer</a> with Caroline Myss. Although, I enjoyed and was absorbing the content of  Dr <a href="http://resourcefullife.net/recommends/waynedyer" style="" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" onmouseover="self.status='http://resourcefullife.net/recommends/waynedyer';return true;" onmouseout="self.status=''">Wayne Dyer</a> easily, and they were somehow resonating with me, <strong>I could not relate well with what Caroline Myss had to say</strong>.</p>
<p>Her books, talks and webpages kept on coming into my way but I kept on ignoring them or considered them as not-of-my-interest. It was <strong>because I was not ready then</strong>.</p>
<p>Now a days, I explore energy medicine and energy psychology in a great depth. The works of Caroline Myss and the people like her now make more sense to me. The more I explore this material, the more clarity comes to me. I feel that, <strong>now I am ready</strong> to absorb this stuff. I have grown to a new level and so now this material makes sense to me. I highly appreciate Caroline Myss, Judith Orloff, Richard Gerber and many other who are involved in the<strong> energy perspectives of personal development and healing</strong>.</p>
<h1>The lesson I have learned</h1>
<p>The lesson that I have learned from this experiences of mine are important to share with you. I have surely gained new awareness by diving into this field of Energy Dynamics and Healing, but I have also gained a critical concept of Personal Development and that I can summarize as:</p>
<p>During your journey called LIFE, you will be exposed to the events, people and resources which may not make sense to you at that time. You may find them useless or hocus pocus. But, believe me, if you continue to grow and develop on your path to find your true self and learn to manifest at your full potential, <strong>those stuff may come back again into your life</strong>.</p>
<p>This time, they will make <strong>complete sense to you</strong>. You will then realize that their presence in your life has taken you to a new level of understanding and awareness. This will happen only <strong>IF YOU ARE READY</strong> for it! The tools that you need to grow already exists in the universe. What you need is to get ready to let them make a difference for you.</p>
<h1>How It has Changed Me</h1>
<p>Now a days, I bookmark and save those stuff that some how come into my awareness, but does not make sense to me at that time. I consider them as<strong> messages from the Source</strong> to help me in my journey called LIFE.</p>
<p>If I am not ready, these material would not make sense to me. <strong>That&#8217;s OK for me</strong>. I may not strain myself and analyze to find out whether they are valid and relevant information or not. I may not discard them completely and label them as useless.</p>
<p>I will just bookmark or save them and thank the universe for bringing them into my awareness. I affirm to myself that whenever I am ready, I will go back to them (or <strong>they will come back to me!</strong>) and use them for the benefit of me and other people.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s it for this post!</p>

<p>During my journey of personal development, I have gone through various stages of learning. At every stage, I had exposure to different kind of information (self-help or psychotherapeutic material), and unique insights and awareness continued to develop inside me as I explored them.</p>
<h1>The reality at smaller scales of existence</h1>
<p>One of the concepts that you may come across, when you dive deeper into understanding how the universe works, and what is your role here on this planet during this lifetime, is the concept of Quantum Mechanics. It is the reality at a very smaller scale of existence (atoms and subatomic particles). <strong>We all are made up of atoms, so finally the concept applies to us as individuals too</strong>.</p>
<p>We are all familiar with the way the Universe is organized and how it works. For most of us, the understanding stems from our school education, and mostly it originates in the Newtonian Mechanics Perspective of how everything around us is structured. It is also called Classical Physics Perspective.</p>
<p>I am not a physicist. I had my learning more in biology as I chose medical profession as my primary career. I am sharing with you <em>my</em> understanding and perspectives. It has helped me a lot, and I know that it shall help you too in your journey on this planet (Want to dive deeper into the technical aspects of this subject… here is the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Introduction_to_quantum_mechanics" target="_blank">Wikipedia Link</a>).</p>
<h1>How we understand the world around us affects the way we look at the life in general</h1>
<p>Our worldview and therefore most of our philosophy of life is based on some fundamental concepts that emerge from the way we have understood about the world around and inside us. We may not be consciously aware about it, but for sure we have learned to understand and form concepts about how the universe works.</p>
<p>This understanding gives us <strong>the perspectives (our individual filters)</strong> through which we make sense of the people, events and circumstances of our lives.</p>
<h1>What does the Newtonian Mechanics Perspective tell us?</h1>
<ul>
<li>As per the Newtonian Mechanics Perspective, everything is predictable. <strong>If you know about the parts, you can know about the Whole!</strong></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><strong>Logic and mathematics can explain everything</strong>. If you have understood how the most basic processes in the universe works, you can make prediction about the bigger events.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>The world is made of matter and the forces acting on them. The matter can be divided into smaller particles up to the level of atoms and subatomic particles. All the particles and the matter made up of those particles (from very small to the largest celestial bodies) follow the same classical physics&#8217; laws.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>The reality is what you can perceive, or manage to perceive through your five sensory channels. <strong>If anything is beyond this level of perception, it does not simply exist!</strong></li>
</ul>
<h1>What is the Quantum Mechanics Perspective?</h1>
<ul>
<li>As per the Quantum Mechanics Perspective, at the core, <strong>everything is nothing but energy</strong>. The experiments in the field of Quantum Mechanics has revealed that the electrons orbiting around a nucleus of an atom can exist simultaneously as a possible particle or an energy wave packet.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li> There is no fixed path which electrons take around a nucleus. Instead, they exist as <strong>&#8216;Electron Clouds&#8217;</strong> around a nucleus in various orbitals and shells</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Any single electron <strong>can exist simultaneously at more than one places!</strong> This is really bizarre and difficult to accept when you are exposed to this information for the first time (Read further and it shall help you more!)</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Everything exists in the form of <strong>pure potential or possibilities</strong>. The observation collapses the possibilities into a reality. So, there is no reality if there is no observation. Everything exists <strong>because we observe.</strong></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>An electron can jump from one energy level (orbital, shell) to an another energy level, without actually moving through the space inbetween. It just changes its energy state. No logical, gradual progression through the space in between!</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li><strong>We are all energy beings</strong>. So not only the laws of matter (particles to be very specific), but the laws of waves also apply to us. Our existence does not only have physical shape and space occupancy that we all are familiar with, but we all have our own frequencies at which we vibrate. We all have our <strong>Energy Existence</strong> too. We can go to an extent and say that the Energy Existence is the primary existence, although we may not perceive it routinely.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>We are all connected at the core. You and me both exist and vibrate in the same energy field. Our frequencies may be different, and so we have different experiences, but the core of both of us (and actually all of us) is the same.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>You exist both as particles and energy. So the laws of particles and waves, both are applicable to you. Surprisingly at the core there is no matter, <strong>only energy or pure possibilities!</strong></li>
</ul>
<div>
<p>This is what I have understood about these concepts. I am still exploring more, learning and integrating new information as well as experiencing them in my life.</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>How do you feel when you have known these facts?</strong></p>
<p><strong>Are you just discarding them as they may not easily fit into your existing world-view?</strong></p>
<p><strong>Do you feel overwhelmed when you have read these facts? Were you already aware about this information? If yes, have you experienced any change in your life after knowing them?</strong></p></blockquote>
<p>Do share your thoughts below in the comments section. Share the post with your loved ones, friends or anyone you know can benefit or can contribute to this material.</p>
<p>God bless you.</p>
