ARROGANCE VS CONFIDENCE (REPOST)

December 30, 2020 by NEEL TRIVEDI

“There’s a thin line between confidence and arrogance. It’s called humility. Confidence smiles. Arrogance smirks.” -Unknown

In all my articles for this site, I have always sited confidence as a key factor to get ahead in any endeavor. If you don’t believe in yourself, than nobody else will either. But as today’s quote says, there’s a thin line between confidence and arrogance. Once you cross that line, that path that you’re on becomes much more dangerous to tread on with a lot more one-way streets.

SELF-CARE

December 29, 2020 by NEEL TRIVEDI

“When you say ‘yes’ to others, make sure you’re not saying ‘no’ to yourself.” -Paulo Cohelo

When is it good to be selfish? Caring for others and helping them is no doubt, an admirable quality in everyone. Without that aspect of humanity, the world would never move forward.

MERRY “YOU” & A HAPPY “EXISTENCE”

December 21, 2020 by NEEL TRIVEDI

As you celebrate the holidays, don’t forget to celebrate YOURSELF. -Neel Trivedi

As I write this, Christmas is just a few days away. All around my neighborhood and nearby grocery stores, I see some of the brightest and beautiful lights. And that’s certainly a great feeling.

WAIT TILL TOMORROW

December 16, 2020 by NEEL TRIVEDI

“There is no failure except in no longer trying.” -Elbert Hubbard

Imagine this scenario: You’re working on a specific project or endeavor and nothing seems to be going right. Every plan, no matter how analytical when conceived, falls apart. You try and try and try and there’s no hope in sight. In short, you feel you have no option left but to give up.

CARPE SECONDUS

December 14, 2020 by NEEL TRIVEDI

“Carpe Diem” -Horace

For centuries now, we’ve all heard the term “carpe diem.” But is that enough to live life to the fullest in the 21^st century? The term first originated in Roman poet Horace’s poetry collection, The Odes sometime in 23 BC. In context, the full line in which it appeared has been translated as “Seize the day; trust tomorrow e’en as little as you may.”

PERFECTION – AN ILLUSION?

December 12, 2020 by NEEL TRIVEDI

“Practice makes perfect.” -Unknown

We all are familiar with today’s quote. While origins of it are debatable, it’s generally believed that it first appeared in the English language in “The Diary and Autobiography of John Adams” around 1760.

THE MARRIAGE OF PATIENCE & OPTIMISM

December 8, 2020 by NEEL TRIVEDI

“Patience is not the ability to wait, but the ability to keep a good attitude.” -Joyce Meyer

In a previous post I had talked about the importance of being patient and how what’s meant to be yours will eventually come to you even if it’s later than expected.

IF A TREE FALLS IN THE WOODS

December 2, 2020 by NEEL TRIVEDI

“If a tree falls in the forest and nobody is around to hear it, does it make a sound?” -Unknown

This rhetorical question has been a popular topic of debate and conversation for several centuries. It was first discussed by an Irish philosopher named by George Berkeley around 1710.

CUTTING OUT THE TOXIC

November 30, 2020 by NEEL TRIVEDI

“Remove yourself from people who treat you like your time doesn’t matter, like your feelings are worthless, or like your soul is replaceable.” -s. mcnutt

I’ve written about cutting negative people out of your life or at least keeping a social distance (pun intended, ha) in some of my earlier posts. But a tweet I saw this morning made me think a little. A person’s tweet asked what if the toxic comes from a parent and/or an adult child? Should they cut them off?

ASSUMING MAKES AN @$$…

November 23, 2020 by NEEL TRIVEDI

“Before you ‘assume’, try this crazy method called asking.” -Unknown

The year is 2000. I’m in high school. The bell has rung and I’m about to go from choir class to Spanish class. Spanish class has two textbooks which my teacher, Mr. Brown, uses interchangeably. Unfortunately, I’m not sure which one is needed for that particular day. Perhaps Mr. Brown had mentioned it the day before and perhaps he hadn’t. I can’t remember.

Are We There Yet?

November 17, 2020 by NEEL TRIVEDI

Accomplishments will prove to be a journey, not a destination. -Dwight D. Eisenhower

Are we there yet? Are we there yet? Are we there yet? Usually, the aforementioned phrase is associated with a bunch of impatient kids squished together in a car with irritation laden in their voices.

I’M FLAWED…THAT’S OKAY

November 16, 2020 by NEEL TRIVEDI

“Your flaws are perfect for the heart that is meant to love you.” -Unknown

I’m flawed. You’re flawed. We’re all flawed and that’s okay. If we weren’t, we wouldn’t be human beings. Being flawed is an inevitable trait since the dawn of time and will be there until all life has perished. So why do we not proclaim it as loudly as we do our talents and skills?

ELECTION ANXIETY & YOU

November 5, 2020 by NEEL TRIVEDI

“Individualism is what makes cooperation worth living.” -Henry Ford

As of this writing, (12:51 PM CT) most of America has been glued to their TV sets, phones, computers and/or any other device which will inform them updates about the presidential election. Even those that haven’t have at least been holding their breath and on their toes while going about other daily tasks. And theses emotions are normal as there is no doubt, a lot at stake. But as we all grapple with what I’ve termed “election anxiety,” we should remember that the fate of individual happiness does not, nor should it, begin and end with one person no matter who wins.

DNRS – PART 3 – CONCLUSION

November 2, 2020 by NEEL TRIVEDI

“Have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become.” -Steve Jobs

In my last two articles, I provided a brief history and an introduction of what Dynamic Neural Retraining System (DNRS) exactly is. In this concluding part, I’ll provide feedback from both people I interviewed as well as people who were quoted publicly on whether DNRS proved to be beneficial to them.

DNRS – PART 2 – ORIGIN & HOW IT WORKS

October 26, 2020 by NEEL TRIVEDI

“There is nothing either good or bad but thinking makes it so.” -William Shakespeare

In my previous articles, I had given a brief introduction to Dynamic Neural Retraining System (DNRS). I had talked about what exactly DNRS is and what kind of illnesses it is used to treat, both mental as well as physical. But how exactly does it work and how does one get into it? I should make a disclaimer here and point out that much of this information I talk about in this particular article is compiled from various interviews given by Annie Hopper, the founder DNRS.

DNRS – PART 2 COMING TOMORROW

October 19, 2020 by NEEL TRIVEDI

Dear Members & Readers, Heartfelt apologies. It’s been a few days late but I finally have the other parts of my article on Dynamic Neural Retraining System (DNRS).

DNRS – PART 1 – INTRODUCTION

October 12, 2020 by NEEL TRIVEDI

“There is no reality, only perception. Identify the filters through which you view the world.” -Dr. Phil

What is Dynamic Neural Retraining System (DNRS)? Founded by Annie Hopper, a limbic system rehabilitation specialist, DNRS claims to be a neuroplasticity-based treatment method for chronic illnesses, some physical and some psychological. If we break it down, neuroplasticity is basically the functioning of different networks in our brains. These networks allow the brain to grow (or shrink), organize, direct and redirect depending on the environment we’re in at any given time.

DNRS – BIG POST COMING SOON

October 8, 2020 by NEEL TRIVEDI

Can you rewire your brain so that positive thoughts remain on top and negativity remains in the background?

GRATITUDE FOR THE GRANTED – REVISED

October 5, 2020 by NEEL TRIVEDI

“Reflect upon your present blessings, of which every man has plenty; not on your past misfortunes, of which all men have some.” -Charles Dickens

Do you express gratitude as often as you should?

FAITH – RELIGIOUS OR OTHERWISE

September 29, 2020 by NEEL TRIVEDI

“Faith is taking the first step when you don’t see the whole staircase.” -Martin Luther King Jr.

Is faith a term that can only be used in the context of religion? Can you have faith without being religious?

THOUGHTS

September 27, 2020 by Samantha Leboeuf-founder/daily wisdom words, LLC

Life is tough. I believe being aware of our thoughts as we think them can be very powerful in making it easier. Before we can fix an issue, we must identify the problem. Have you ever had a situation that you anticipated would be worse than it actually was after you accomplished it? This starts … Read more
