2. To respond is positive, to react is negative.

3. If no one answers your call
make a stride and walk alone
When everyone is closed and shut
Open your mind and speak alone.
Walk Alone, Walk Alone, Walk Alone
If they turn away and desert
and the wild path obstacles exerts
trample the thorns no matter the hurt
And Alone along blood-lined track traverse.
Walk Alone, Walk Alone, Walk Alone
If no one holds up the light
and a fierce storm troubles the night,
with the thunder flame of pain ignite
your heart, alone, and let it burn bright
Walk Alone, Walk Alone, Walk Alone

4. ~ Language... has created the word "loneliness" to express the pain of being
alone. And it has created the word "solitude" to express the glory of being
alone.
~ When we cannot bear to be alone, it means we do not properly value the only
companion we will have from birth to death… ourselves.
~ Loneliness can be conquered only by those who can bear solitude.
~You will not find a soul mate in the quiet of your room. You must go to a noisy place
and look in the quiet corners.
~It is only when we silent the blaring sounds of our daily existence that we can finally
hear the whispers of truth that life reveals to us, as it stands knocking on the doorsteps
of our hearts.
~ Never be afraid to sit a while and think.
~ Only in quiet waters do thing mirror themselves undistorted. Only in a quiet mind is
adequate perception of the world.
~ In solitude the mind gains strength & learns to lean upon itself .
~ You can’t be lonelY, if You like the person You’re alone with .
~ We are free up to the point of choice , then the choice controls the chooser.

5. ~ Solitude shows us what should be;
society shows us what we are.
~In solitude, where we are least alone .
~ Inside myself is a place where I live all
alone, and that's where I renew my springs
that never dry up.

6. Living with others leaves us exhausted. At least for
sometime during a day, you just need to close your
eyes -- closing your eyes means you are closed to
the world, nothing exists, only you -- so you can
face “yourself” directly.
Loneliness is not the right word, when you talk of taking
strength from it. Aloneness should be the right word.
Loneliness is low energy, while aloneness is overflowing
energy. Loneliness is something that you never want, it is as
if you are a victim; but aloneness is something that you have
desired, longed for -- and now it is there. It is a deep
achievement. Through it one can grow, but through
loneliness one falls. Through loneliness one starts seeking
others and uses them. Through aloneness, if it happens that
others are around one shares, but never uses them. But these
distinctions will come by and by....

7. First you have to watch whether you are feeling miserable or charged. If
it is misery, it is loneliness, so throw it. If it is aloneness, then close all
the doors of the room and enjoy it. Let it be a profound experience of
ecstasy. Or just sit silently as if you are the king of the whole world.
Aloneness has to be cherished and nourished, and loneliness has to be
avoided because it is like a disease, like a worm that goes on eating you
from within.
Ordinarily when people feel lonely they seek company; but that's not
right, it is not going to help.
When you are lonely seek nature, not company. Go to the tree and talk
to it. Go to the rock, touch it, feel it. Go for a long walk and feel your
body against the wind. Do something with nature, because it is not
company in the same sense that human beings are. In nature the
company is there, but you are still alone -- that's the difference.
Nature simply gives you silent company -- unobtrusive, non-interfering;
it doesn't force anything on you. Go to nature, and suddenly you will
feel your loneliness changing into aloneness .
Winners recognize their limitations but focus on their strengths.
Losers recognize their strengths but focus on their weaknesses.

8. When you are alone, sometime don't even go to nature, go deep into
yourself. Try this once......
The moment one accepts his loneliness, he transcends society. That is
the only meaning of leaving the society. It is not leaving the actual
society. Wherever you go, you create a society. Even with the trees,
even with the animals, a family will be created and society will be there.
Now you are alone. As there is no one to adulterate it, it is so pure,
innocent and beautiful. Still you can ask what is to be done with this
aloneness.
Nothing is to be done because every doing, is nothing but the escape
from this aloneness. This aloneness is not to be left and escaped from.
You must be deeply in it and you must live with it. You must walk the
path of life totally alone; amidst the crowd, with fellow travellers. but
totally alone.
When two persons are walking on a road, they are not walking as two,
they are walking as one and one. There are two lonelinesses walking.
You must live in the family, but alone. Now there may be five members,
but there are five lonelinesses living in a home.

9. And the moment you understand your loneliness you become
compassionate There is a compassion now for others and their
loneliness.
Everyone is lonely--the wife, the child, the husband. But they do not
have compassion and sympathy. They do not behave in a loving
manner. Because, they are using the others as an escape. The wife is
using the husband as a means to escape from her loneliness, and
because of this there is possession. There is every fear that if this man
forgets her, if he is gone then she becomes lonely. So this man has
become an escape. She is not aware of her loneliness. She does not
want to be aware of it. So she becomes aware of her husband and the
possession. She clings. The husband is clinging in his own way. The wife
is an escape for his loneliness.
We are alone. The moment this realisation is there, that man is alone,
then there is no escape. Because there is no escape possible. This is just
wishing. There is no actual escape.
“let us not praY to be sheltered from dangers, but to
be fearless when facing them.”

10. The wife with a husband is as lonely as she was before, but we create
illusionary escapes, illusion of togetherness. Our whole society, our
family, our nations, our clubs, groups, organisations, these are all
escapes from one's loneliness.
How ugly it is that no one thinks himself worth living with himself. If I
am alone in my room, I am bored. Bored with myself. So a bored person
goes to another bored person, and they both try to transcend the
boredom. Mathematically the possibility is otherwise. The boredom
will be doubled. Now the bored will be doubly bored. And everyone will
think that the other does not wish to help.
You must begin to live the moment that comes to you. Live totally. Live
it alone. Live it moment to moment.
We choose our joys and sorrows
long before we experience
them.
Things that hurt, instruct.
To lose patience is to lose the battle.

11. Still…
Spend time with your Family.
Spend time with your People.
Spend time for your Customers.
Play with your children.
Take time to get medical checkups.
Take your partner out once a while.
Take time to renew yourself.
Find time for maintenance.
Spend time on Preventing than on Solving Problems
***** Take care of the rocks first - the things that
really matter.****
Set your priorities, the rest is just pebbles and sand.
Believe in yourself, know what you want, and make it
happen!
“it is verY simple to be happY, but it is verY difficult to be simple.”

13. “Give Me Strength…
This is my prayer to thee, my lord---strike,
strike at the root of penury in my heart.
Give me the strength lightly to bear my joys and sorrows.
Give me the strength to make my love fruitful in service.
Give me the strength never to disown the poor or bend my knees before insolent
might.
Give me the strength to raise my mind high above daily trifles.
And give me the strength to surrender my strength to thy will with love.”

14. Our deepest fear is… that ,we are inadequate.
Actually…We are powerful beyond measure. It is our light,
not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves,
who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and fabulous?
Actually, who are you not to be?
Your playing small doesn't serve the world. There's nothing
enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel
insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children
do. We are born to make manifest the glory of God that is
within us. It's not just in some of us, it's in everyone. And as
we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other
people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from
our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.
anger is a menifestation of a deeper issues…is based
ON INSECURITY,LOW SELF-ESTEEM ,FRUSTRATIONS AND

15. To avoid criticism , do nothing, say nothing, be nothing.

16. You are not just paid to work. You are paid to be
uncomfortable – and to pursue projects that scare you.

17. You’ll get your game-changing ideas away from the
office versus in the middle of work. Make time for
solitude. Creativity needs the space to present itself.

18. There is only one person who could ever make
You happY, and that person is… You.
