Note to self.

[Abhishek Ratna @abhishekr79]

Every moment of your life is infinitely creative and the universe is endlessly bountiful.
Just put forth a clear enough request, and everything your heart truly desires must come to you.

Man is made by his belief. As he believes, so he is.

If you don't fight for what you want, don't cry for what you lost.

यदा संहरते चायं कूर्मोऽङ्गानीव सर्वशः।
इन्द्रियाणीन्द्रियार्थेभ्यस्तस्य प्रज्ञा प्रतिष्ठिता॥

One who is able to withdraw the senses from their objects,
just as a tortoise withdraws its limbs into its shell, is established in divine wisdom.

[Abhishek Ratna @abhishekr79]

कर्मजं बुद्धियुक्ता हि फलं त्यक्त्वा मनीषिणः।
जन्मबन्धविनिर्मुक्ताः पदं गच्छन्त्यनामयम्॥

The wise, possessed of knowledge, having abandoned the fruits of their actions,
and being freed from the fetters of birth, go to the place which is beyond all evil.

[Abhishek Ratna @abhishekr79]

योगस्थः कुरु कर्माणि सङ्गं त्यक्त्वा धनञ्जय।
सिद्ध्यसिद्ध्योः समो भूत्वा समत्वं योग उच्यते॥

By being established in Yoga, O Dhananjaya, undertake actions, casting off attachment
and remaining equipoised in success and failure. Equanimity is called Yoga.

[Robert Greene @RobertGreene]

Being self-reliant is critical. To make yourself less dependent on others and so-called experts, you need to expand your repertoire of skills.

[Abhishek Ratna @abhishekr79]

सुखदुःखे समे कृत्वा लाभालाभौ जयाजयौ।
ततो युद्धाय युज्यस्व नैवं पापमवाप्स्यसि॥ २-३८

Holding pleasure and pain, gain and loss, victory and defeat as alike, gird yourself up for the battle.
Thus, you shall not incur any sin.

[Abhishek Ratna @abhishekr79]

नैनं छिन्दन्ति शस्त्राणि नैनं दहति पावकः।
न चैनं क्लेदयन्त्यापो न शोषयति मारुतः॥ २-२३

Weapons do not cleave the soul, fire does not burn it, waters do not wet it, and wind does not dry it.

[Abhishek Ratna @abhishekr79]

प्रारब्धं भुज्यमानो हि गीताभ्यासरतः सदा।
स मुक्तः स सुखी लोके कर्मणा नोपलिप्यते॥

One who indulges in ongoing action and is engaged in regular study of the Gita,
is free and happy in this world and is not bound by karma.

[Kpaxs @Kpaxs]

The internet is leverage for those who control it, and a trap for those who don’t.

The difference is self-control.

[Kevin Szabo @KevinSzabo14]

Keep your mind clean.

Keep the toxic people out.

Keep the winners near you.

It's amazing what a clean mind does for you.

[Abhishek Ratna @abhishekr79]

न जायते म्रियते वा कदाचिन्।

Meaning:
The soul is neither born nor does it ever die. It has always existed and will continue to exist. It is eternal, beyond birth and death.

[Abhishek Ratna @abhishekr79]

कर्मण्येवाधिकारस्ते मा फलेषु कदाचन।
मा कर्मफलहेतुर्भूर्मा ते सङ्गोऽस्त्वकर्मणि॥

Meaning:
"You have the right to perform your prescribed duties, but you are not entitled to the fruits of your actions. Never consider yourself the cause of the results of your activities, and never be attached to not doing your duty".

[Abhishek Ratna @abhishekr79]

गते शोको न कर्त्तव्यो भविष्यं नैव चिन्तयेत् वर्तमानेन कालेन प्रवर्तन्ते विचक्षणाः |

One should not dwell unnecessarily on the past, nor should one worry about the future. The only focus should be to maximize the utilization of the present moment.
