Most of Our Problems are Created by Us

This might sound rather ridiculous to you. But the fact of the matter is that this is the gospel truth. It is our negative bent of mind that gets us into problems. Most of our problems have their origin in situations. But we tend to look at situations as problems. If...

Be Original—Be Yourself

Be Original—Be Yourself

You are not a mass-produced, factory-made item. You are a unique piece of creation. You are an original specimen of human being different from all other living beings. Not only that, you are also different from all other human beings. You are unique. Don’t give up...
