How to motivate your mind
Human mind possess uncanny ability to conceive ideas and converting those ideas into its physical equivalent. Idea of an incandescent light bulb in Thomas Edison’s mind eventually created a light bulb. In the second century B.C.E. a young Indian boy of age 7 was told by an astrologer peering at his hand that he did not have lines on his palm for education. The boy without hesitation brought a knife and drew a line on his palm and asked “Now can you see the line ?” This young boy was none other than famous Panini who grew to become one of the greatest grammarians in the history of Sanskrit - making it so perfect that Forbes Magazine nominated Sanskrit as the most computer compatible language in the world !

It is then interesting to know how a young boy of ,reading experts ? If you analyze all of your activities during a day that caused stress, anger, lack of interest and sometimes hatred have one common thread. This common thread is lack of love, lack of passion for those activities. When we try to engage our mind in actions that are not self asserting with feeling of positivity, passion and deep rooted burning desire, our subconscious mind never gets motivated to trigger actions filled with positive energy. It is therefore utmost important to find what you love to do in life. It is therefore crucial to know your life purpose. Once you find your life passion or purpose, you can easily motivate your mind by conjuring vivid image in full color of the consequences. Write the passion and three goals that when achieved will fulfill your passion. Make copies of these goals and hand it to friends and spouse who can act as positive influence. Your mind will immediately feel sense of responsibility and self esteem to live up to the written goals. Think what will happen if you achieve those goals and ultimately achieve your life passion. What will happen if you do not ? Vivid imagination about the future has tremendous power to awake mind and awaken mind can achieve anything it desires.

In 1953, Yale university conducted a study of 1500 students. They were asked to write down on a piece of paper what they wanted to do and become when they grew up. In 1973, twenty years later, Yale tracked down these students to realize an astonishing fact. Out of 1500 students, only 3 percent wrote down their passion and goals and those student had more wealth than combine 97 percent students who did not. By writing their passion and life goals, these students awaken their subconscious mind to focus its energy akin to a beam of laser.

We all either fall into one of the two categories: Pleasure seeker or pain-avoider. Introspect and identify which category you fall into. If you are pleasure seeker, visualize beautiful images of the life pleasures that will make you happy. Constant rendering of these images will motivate your mind. If you are pain-avoider, think of pain induced by lack of action to achieve life passion and goals. Visualize the socio-economic impact for not taking action to infuse and imbue your mind with will and energy to get up and do whatever you have to do to achieve your life goals.

Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2

'Sisterhood' Grows Up, But Just Enough

With "The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2," the sisterhood has grown up. When last we left the quartet of friends who each, no matter what their size, magically fit into the same pair of thrift-store jeans, the neighborhood pals were experiencing a summer away from each other.

Now three years have passed since audiences last saw Tibby (Amber Tamblyn), Carmen (America Ferrera), Bridget (Blake Lively) and Lena (Alexis Bledel). They were 16 then and just beginning to realize the possibilities that awaited them beyond the place where they all grew up.

"The Sisterhood'' remains somewhat powerful
Too, too long, these traveling pants. They're dragging on the ground, wearing out and wearing out their welcome.

But that's the only big hole in "The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2,'' a sequel that actually improves, slightly, on the boy-crazy original.

It's about four disparate friends who stay connected through that one magical pair of blue jeans that fits the tall, the small, the slim and the zaftig among them. They share the pants by FedEx over their long summers and write letters detailing the adventures they have in those special jeans.

The four girls — America Ferrera is drama student Carmen, Amber Tamblyn is Boho film student Tibby, Alexis Bledel is Lena, the painter with a thing for Greek boys, and Blake Lively is soccer-playing archaeologist Bridget — are young women in college now. Carmen made it to the Yale School of Drama, where she's a little too eager to work backstage, avoiding the limelight.

"I'm pretty sure I'm right where I belong,'' she says. But that'll be tested when she goes to work for the very theatrical director played by Kyle MacLachlan, in summer stock.

Bridget is off to Turkey to dig up some ancient Greek ruins, with the help of a kindly professor played by the great Shohreh Aghdashloo ("The House of Sand and Fog'').

Lena gets over the lost Greek boyfriend from the first film with an even prettier painter-artist-model (Jesse Williams) in her art class.

funny one, goes through all sorts of melodrama with her film school beau, Brian (Leonardo Nam).

This was always pure fantasy, pretty girls "struggling'' with lives of effortless privilege and achievement while dating gorgeous, effeminate boys who spend every waking moment in the gym, apparently. But the players are older and better, now. The supporting cast (Blythe Danner turns up, too) is more distinct, with more to work with.

Director Sanaa Hamri ("Something New'') lets the laughs land, gives her wonderful supporting players nice moments and beefs up the weakest character and weakest performer (the leggy blond Lively) with the most support. Still, despite the far too generous running time, she wasn't able to tidy up some serious loose ends in the dating department.

But "Sisterhood'' has Greece and New York, Vermont and New Haven for backdrops and four of the best young actresses of their generation going through college. If you're going to get stuck for two hours in what should have been a 90-minute formula "chick picture,'' they at least make it endurable.
