Sunday -- Beautiful bright sunny cold morning of September. It is 6 C. I am awake, busy with my 5 minutes stretch exercises on my bedroom carpet. After this will go downstairs to make my breakfast, my oatmeal porridge and stir fried egg, will enjoy my morning tea, in my back garden. 

Yesterday I was talking to one of my friend. She was of the opinion that to stay positive is not easy. I totally agree with her. Life is not like a flower bed. It is an unpaved path with bushes around. We have to find our way, passing through all this. Life is a journey of adventures. It is full of surprises, full of unknowns, full of unexpected events. We don't know beforehand, what will be the next episode. Years back I read somewhere that "to live life is an Art". I think it is.

We have to go on tricking ourselves throughout our journey of life. Passing through difficult moments, coming across to various turning points, we have to bribe ourselves. Give treats of positive thoughts. Have to give ourselves assurance that good time is just ahead. Try to push yourself for some extra miles.

This works out, gives power, boosts our energy level to tackle our days, to move forward. We also have to trick our brain too. Our brain takes the route, where our thoughts direct it to go. Push your brain to focus on positives. Try to give messages that, after these few difficult moments, beds with full of Roses are waiting ahead for us to enjoy, to have our good time.

We have to keep on talking to ourselves. Our tape recorder of "Pep talks", never has to be turned off. We have to do things to make our days. Life is the same for everyone. It all depends on us, how we take it.

It doesn't matter, we live alone or with family. I believe, all we Humans have unique personalities of our own with our own inner thoughts, with our own inside feeling and our own style to deal with our day to day matters in life. 

Each of us have many faces of our personality. We like to feel good so try to hide our real "inside figure". We like to elevate our good side. We pick and choose the side of our personality, which looks good to the people around and suits the prevailing circumstances.

We keep on hiding our real self. Sometimes, we feel scared to share that with our own self. We unconsciously put sensors on our thoughts, on our real feelings, that results in loneliness. Leads ultimately to depression. Living alone is different. This is not loneliness. A person living with bunch of people, can undergo the state of loneliness.

It is reality that we have our own world. Our own personal space, our own privacy. But we have to open up our windows to connect. We have to filter out our thoughts once a while. We have to listen to the people around too. Listening is unique skill. I believe your first job totally depends on your listening ability. 

Have to share things with our friends, with our loved ones. Don't stop picking your calls. Calls are signals from God to the people, to call you. You don't have to shut the doors of opportunity. 

Living with family doesn't mean, you have to share all your thoughts. We have to sensor our feelings our thoughts, while talking to anyone. It is always good to maintain a comfortable distance. This keeps flourishing relationships. 

Try to filter out your negative thoughts. Try to keep yourself busy. This is the best option to stay away from negatives. Doing nothing is an open invitation for negative thoughts to enter. This will be like free ticket for feeling low and lonely. Push yourself to live in day tight compartment. Things will be fine. Life will start looking good.
