It is the anticipation of a reward—not the fulfillment of it—that gets
us to take action.

We often say yes to little requests because we are not clear enough about what we need to be doing instead. When your dreams are vague, it’s easy to rationalize little exceptions all day long and never get around to the specific things you need to do to succeed.

Your outcomes are a lagging measure of your habits. Your net worth
is a lagging measure of your financial habits. Your weight is a lagging
measure of your eating habits. Your knowledge is a lagging measure of
your learning habits. Your clutter is a lagging measure of your cleaning
habits. You get what you repeat.

If you can get 1 percent better each day for one year, you’ll end up thirty-seven times better by the time you’re done.

When the first baby laughed for the first time, its laugh broke into a thousand pieces, and they all went skipping about, and that was the beginning of fairies.🧚🏼‍♂️😊❤️

Second to the right, and then straight on till morning!❤️❤️

Stars are beautiful, but they may not take an active part in anything, they must just look on for ever. It is a punishment put on them for something they did so long ago that no star now knows what it was. So the older ones have become glassy eyed and seldom speak (winking is the star language), but the little ones still wonder.

All children, except one, grow up.

... Beginning my adventure. 😊😊

It doesn't take great men to do great things, just those who are dedicated to doing them.

There is no greater reward than to live and die for your country, knowing that you have done your part.

It is indeed a sin and a crime to be weak. It is only the strong who can fight for Dharm and practice Kshama.

Hindus in North India have neglected the Mahabharat for a long time. The very fact that the Mahabharat has come to be equated with Alha-Udal in the popular mind in the North is indicative of a great cultural and intellectual decline.

मेरी कविता मोह से प्रारंभ हुई थी और मोह भंग पर समाप्त हो गयी.

"In today's India, it is not sufficient to to be a Hindu by birth. Hindu society and culture are under attack from several quarters. One has to be a convinced and conscious Hindu to meet and survive that attack. One has to find one's roots in Sanatana Dharma."

The starting of the book is compelling - and it is calling out to me to dig deeper.

The tears, when they come to some men, are worse than beatings. They're wounded worse by sobbing, men like that, than they are by boots and batons. Tears begin in the heart, but some of us deny the heart so often, and for so long, that when it speaks we here not one but hundred sorrows in the heartbreak.

Because they are Indians, man. That's how we keep this crazy place together - with the heart. Two hundred fuckin' languages, and a billion people. India is the heart. It's the heart that keeps us together. There is no place with people like my people, Lin. There's no heart like the Indian heart.

Guilt is the hilt of the knife that we use on ourselves, and love is often the blade; but it's very that keeps the knife sharp, and worry that gets most of us, in the end.

One of the ironies of courage, and the reason why we prize it so highly, is that we find it easier to be brave for someone else than we do for ourselves alone.
