It is very necessary to keep the body fit. yoga can help you with this. But what is the parameter of a fit body? I got to know today that the insurance company would not give me insurance because according to my height I am not weighing enough. I feel healthy, I feel fit! I have never been ill. But the German system has another view of it. According to their standard I am missing 8 Kilos. But this is German standard, not yogic standard! I said I am sorry, I cannot gain 8 Kilo weight.
So what I want to say is that it does not really matter, how much you weigh. I doesn't matter if it is less or medium or much. But how do you feel inside? It is about your feelings! You have to feel well in your body. If you are happy with your body you will be healthy.

Unfortunately the german (and in general western) system doesn't really pay attention to how people truly feel. They just have their charts filled with numbers. And these numbers are without a context. A number can't tell you anything about the person, because it doesn't show what is inside.

I don't know about India, but people's opinions on weight in Europe and america are terrible! Everyone is either too fat or too skinny, weighs too much or too little. In our media obsessed world, nobody's appearance is good enough. Yet in truth, there is always someone who loves you no matter what you look like!

Yoga is a great way to appreciate your body. And it's true, if you can do yoga, enjoy it, and celebrate your body, then who cares how much you weigh?? I have stopped weighing myself because, similar to age, I don't care to live according to numbers. And when I feel good challenging myself in yoga and then allowing my body to rest and relax, I feel good about my body and am thankful for it's wonderful abilities.

I am just going through old diaries to read what I wrote in that time and enjoying reading them laughing and thinking of that day when my insurance application was not accepted because of my weight. Anyway afterwords my insurance was done in Germany but after 2 years I decided to leave german insurance and have one in India. So now I have insurance in India but I still weight same.

No matter which Guru a follower believes, he will say his guru is the only real one, the others are all fake. They realize it is nonsense what all others say, just their own guru is allegedly able to do everything he claims.
SourceHaving a positive attitude can help especially in situations when it is difficult for someone else not to fall into a deep hole of negativity.

SourceSpirituality is something very personal and individual. You don’t need to connect with a sect or join a group for living your spirituality. You need deeply felt spirituality and not show-off spirituality. Be natural about your spirituality.
SourceLife teaches every human. Let it teach your child, too! You are there for bigger problems, decisions and topics, you can protect when it is really necessary, but let your child face circumstances of life in which it learns of life. How will it learn otherwise?
SourceIf you forgive yourself a mistake, why don’t you forgive others for the same? Forgiveness will give you satisfaction and peace.
SourceA positive attitude from your side will also change your surroundings.
SourceA greeting card is only a symbol to express what you have inside your heart. It doesn’t matter how big or expensive the card is, you cannot send anything that you do not have. And if you have best wishes in your heart, they will arrive even if you do not send them by post.
SourceWays of worship like feeding a statue of God would be a big thing to laugh about, was it not a systematic plan of religion to keep you in a numb state of mind where you will not question an order even if it is complete nonsense. You are requested to switch off your mind and follow what you are being told.
SourceSave your energy by not talking when it is not really necessary.
SourceThe newage movement is like a religion reformed. People turned away from religion, choose one direction, be that card-reading, angels or past lives and then stick to it. It is nothing else than a religion in which you have a certain philosophy and won’t move away from it in your thinking.
SourceYour body is not the reason for a man's cheating. If he loved you before, why should this change only because your looks changed?
SourceWe often live for others, trying to make them happy by being how they want us to be. We want to wear a mask of what we are not. But you cannot make everyone happy! We have had this experience hundreds of times but still we do the same again and again. Be original and who you are.
SourceKarma and God cannot work together! If you give God the responsibility for good things, how can you blame Karma for the bad ones? Would God not be responsible for good and bad as well as for all your Karma?
SourceMany people of older generations go to church not because of their belief. They go because if they don’t, the neighbours will talk bad or the priest will think they are not religious.
SourceI love smiling and have the habit of laughing :)
SourceWe are mostly happy when we take but true happiness is when you enjoy giving.
SourceI trust you' is more valuable than 'I love you'.

SourceIf you love or like something don't hesitate to accept it, admit it and even say it loudly :) It is always great to say 'I love it'. Don't you think so ?
