" I feel beautiful " is inspired by one of my own photograph that is shared in this blog post and more than the photographer(A layman in photography) I compliment my self to have brought about the beautiful expression and given such good shot. A picture , the record of visual perception - Some of us love being pictured while few of us turn our faces away from the camera and I fall in the second category . Photography is a passion for me and once in a while I do try my hands on it but I rarely allow myself to be photographed for the very reason that I picture badly but of late I realised its just the state of mind that reflects in our pictures.and there is only #1 tip to give a good shot that has worked for me which is one must feel beautiful while posing for a photograph and there you are ! This is one of the best shots I have ever given though I have a sharper nose than it appears in the photograph but it can not stop me from saying " I feel beautiful" and now your opinion matters .

"Mood Swings " - a rapid change in mood and that's exactly what I am going through ever since I came back after a week long holiday in Kashmir Valley " The Paradise On Earth ". One of the most beautiful and memorable journeys I have ever had , packed with fun and romance with nature was indeed a lifetime experience. It took me no long to get back to normal life style once I landed back in Delhi. and as an addicted blogger would have , the first thimg I did after reaching home logged into my blogging sites ,replied to all the comments left by my readers , read a few blogs, wrote a few comments and finally when I tried to write a blog post I was at total loss of words , though my mind is loaded with stories of my experience in " The Paradise On Earth " Kashmir ,where I spent a substantial portion of my childhood and grew up without having an iota of feeling or sense that how much this mystic beauty of the valley is going to haunt me as I grow older. "The Kashmir Valley " the place where I would love to spend remaining years of my life
So we go back to "Mood Swings " I believe I was and still am in a state of nostalgia and therefore I decided to share the pictures of my own on Face Book ac and in that process I found some pictures depicting my own moods.. I certainly need to get over with my Mood Swings and start sharing some beautiful pictures of The Kashmir Valley known to be " The Paradise On Earth " in the ,meanwhile bear with me when I ask you to enjoy watching my mood swings and share your opinion with me . I found this beautiful series of pictures taken while I was busy attending the phone calls .

This is how happy I was when I checked in the House Boat until I received some business calls from my office that ultimately forced me to switch off my phone once again that had remained shut throughout while I travelled.
Queen of cocktails " Bloody Mary " also known as a hangover cure “a classic example of combining in one potion both the poison and the antidote.” A complex drink yet popular , Queen of cocktails -Bloody Mary is a vodka based drink tomato juice and spices are essential ingredients in the cocktail ,while Worcestershire sauce, piri piri sauce, Tabascos sauce are added for flavours . Virgin Mary, Bloody Shame, Bloody Virgin, or Bloody Barbara: Without alcohol ,typically with an increased volume of tomato juice, the vodka simply being omitted are the non alcohlic substitutes of the cocktail. . The Red Hammer of 1950's now known as Bloody Mary Used to be a thick; chunky drink with plenty of garnish which made it appear like a salad bar . To make the improved cocktail the grinding of blend is a must .It not only changes the texture of the drink but also makes it a more elegant pour. While you enjoy the drink I will be off to Kashmir to come back with few more interesting cocktail recipes.Before I take your leave One final note: the Bloody Mary is an early afternoon drink—those who consume it after the sun has set possess personality defects and are to be avoided. It is, however, a known antidote to the common hangover, and those who drink it in the morning are to be regarded as people of great knowledge and unerring discernment.

Sounds unreal but this is a true story when I ended up paying $15000 for a handshake
#truestory #onlinemarketing
and from the top of his lungs, voice piercing through the speakers and rumbling off the concrete floor in the Meadowlands Expo Center in New Jersey…
Tony Robbins gave the call-to-action to buy a package of his events — and the room split into two sides as if Moses parted the red sea.
I rose from my seat… similar to how I put the needle down and rose up from the ashes almost 6 years ago in that run down laundry room bathroom in one of the worst parts of town and decided to get clean and sober…
…And I walked over to the table, handed the staff member my credit card and said….
What I want to share with you today is how I’ve learned that sometimes….
I need to stretch myself to prepare for the next level of success.
As the lady finished running my card, someone said to me “We need to get you up there if you want to take a picture with Tony on the stage.”
At that moment (and really at any time throughout the event) my “ego” could have taken over and said….
“I fill events of 5,000 people too. I don’t need to go to more events.”
Or “Why would I spend $15,000 to go to Tony’s events when I can make a few calls, probably even get on the phone with Tony… and go to any of his events for free or at a discount.”
Or “I already make enough money. I don’t really need to learn anything new right now.”
Or even “I’m busy leading a team of few -thousands people…. I don’t have time.”
Instead, I decided to stretch myself to prepare for the next level.
Tony Robbins walked over to me and as we exchanged a few words, hands locked in a firm handshake — I looked out and scanned over 5,000 people in the expo center and knew in that moment that sometimes….
I need to stretch myself to prepare for the next level.
I also realized I just spent $15,000 for a handshake.
…And even if I never go to any of the events that I just bought (which I will)….
Making the decision to buy, meeting Tony on his stage and locking arms — and then looking out over the crowd…
To me – was worth the $15,000 I just spent.
So I want you to ask yourself a question:
Are you ready to get around someone that will stretch your reality and what you think is “possible”?
Are you willing to clobber your excuses?
Are you willing to be where you need to be? To spend what you need to spend? And work the way you need to work to make it happen?
And do you want to do it NOW or later?
(I think I know that answer to that)
I’ll look forward to meeting YOU on stage

If there are any related quaries please drop a message in comment box or CLICK HERE It would be a pleasure to help you . #onlinemoney#howto #affiliatemarket
If you want to do online business then you must follow the steps below
1. Build Your List (#1 Asset). No excuses. Focus on this daily.
Hire someone to setup your opt-in box if needed. Yet whatever you do, make
your email subscriber list your #1 priority. This is your NUMBER 1
asset when it comes to making money online.
You dream, fantasise of making “Push Button Money” – well, sorry to
burst your bubble it takes a little work to get there and be like me
You gotta be building your list. DAILY. If you are part of a home business,
network marketing company – do NOT build their list. You need to build yours.
(This was one of the biggest mistakes I made in my business
and it’s cost me at least $250,000+ in lost sales.)
If you need a shortcut to building your list without learning how to,
immediately – then go here to get DFY Traffic to jump start your lead generation.
2. Building an audience is faster and easier than ever before. Thanks
to email marketing and social media you can broadcast your message
to thousands of people with a single click. Anyone with an Internet
connection can now build an audience and grow their business faster
than ever before.
Start building your audience, i have an amazing group – YOU of subscribers
that i can communicate to daily, i add value to their lives, and i direct them
to whatever i want them to. Imagine that power, control and influence at
the tiips of your fingertips.
You build an audience by adding value – i spend 30mins to 90 mins each
day thinking, reflecting then pouring my heart out to write to YOU.
3. Start outsourcing early on. Delegate. Delegate. Delegate.
Don’t worry. I’m not talking about hiring a full-time VA. Not yet anyway.
But I want you to STOP doing all the stuff that you can outsource affordably
on sites like Fiverr, oDesk, Microlancer, and PeoplePerHour.com.
Graphic Design. Ebook Covers. Audio Editing. Video Editing. Tech Stuff.
Setting up Your Membership Site. Setting up Aweber. You name it. Someone
online can do it a LOT more affordably than you might think.
Don’t waste time on the stuff that doesn’t grow your business.
I practically DELEGATE every single thing, except of emailing my
newsletter readers. I write to you PERSONALLY each and every day.
4. Spend 20% of your time learning. 80% of your time DOING.
Become a PRODUCER.
Not just a CONSUMER.
OK ?
The doing part is what grows your business. And what you’ll
find is that the best way to learn about business is just
doing it. Action trumps all. Action trumps you sitting
there wasting time on silly facebook and twitter.
That being said – you should follow me on Facebook because I
Crazy – huh ? Well imagine i never did that – then look at
how much money i would have lost…
5. Growth ALWAYS lies OUTSIDE your comfort zone.
I used to hate / dislike is a better term, i used to dislike making
videos – then i realised that the more videos i make the more
money i make – to the tune of $10′s of thousands of dollars
per video…
Crazy – huh ? Well imagine i never did that – then look at
how much money i would have lost…
6. Investing In Myself More : I’ve done this from day 1 i guess,
even when i had no money, i still begged and borrowed to get there…
I love investing in myself – to attend conferences, seminars, on average
i invest to make sure i am at the top of my game, emotionally,mentally in my business and in my personal life….
See – i do, what i teach. I attend events, and if you want fast-success, you need to!!!
If you can’t afford high end events YET, then you have sources like Charlotte for the Empower Network
And the least you can do today for yourself is to grab a copy of my best selling book
” Dot Com Decoded ” for just $7 and finish it in the afternoon
That will get you started in the right direction when it comes to making money online !
7. Stop worrying about what other people think.
The only people who
are ‘liked’ by everyone are those who do nothing, say nothing,
and ultimately accomplish nothing. I’m at the point in my life where
I really couldn’t give a shit about what anyone thinks of me…
I do – say – create – think whatever i want. Don’t let those that have no
results dictate you and your future… I used to let my cousins / uncles
affect my behaviour cos they would always make fun of me when i was
trying to get rich on the internet…
If you feel like people aren’t supporting you – cut them out of your life.
Love your family, choose your friends. I am your friend.
Find / Create YOUR tribe of raving fans and serve them with massive value.
Ok – my fingers are aching from writing this to you, cos i’m a little

LYRICS
I have four-hundred-and-twenty-two friends, yet I am lonely. I speak to all of them everyday, yet none of them really know me.
The problem I have sits in the spaces between looking into their eyes or at a name on a screen. I took a step back and opened my eyes, I looked around to realise the media we call social is anything but.
When we open our computers, and it's our doors we shut. All this technology we have it's just an illusion. Community companionship a sense of inclusion yet, when you step away from this device of delusion, you awaken to see a world of confusion.
A world where we're slaves to the technology we mastered, where information gets sold by some rich greedy bastard. A world of self interest, self image, self promotion. Where we all share our best bits, but, leave out the emotion.
Were at 'almost happy' with an experience we share, but is it the same if no one is there? Be there for your friends and they'll be there too, but no one will be if a group message will do.
We edit and exaggerate, crave adulation. We pretend not to notice the social isolation. We put our words into order and turn our lives a-glistening. We don't even know if anyone is listening!
Being alone isn't a problem let me just emphasize; if you read a book, paint a picture, or do some exercise. You're being productive and present not reserved and recluse. You're being awake and attentive and putting your time to good use.
So when you're in public, and you start to feel alone. Put your hands behind your head, step away from the phone! You don't need to stare at the menu, or a your contact list. Just talk to one another, learn to coexist.
I can't stand to hear the silence of a busy commuter train when no one wants to talk for the fear of looking insane. We're becoming unsocial, it no longer satisfies to engage with one another, and look into someones eyes. We're surrounded by children, who since they were born, have watched us living like robots, who now think it's the norm.
It's not very likely you'll make worlds greatest dad, if you can't entertain a child without using an iPad. When I was a child, I'd never be home. Be out with my friends on our bikes we'd roam. I'd wear holes on my trainers, and graze up my knees. We'd build our own clubhouse, high up in the trees.
Now the parks so quiet, it gives me a chill. See no children outside and the swings hanging still. Theres no skipping, no hopscotch, no church and no steeple. We're a generation of idiots, smart phones and dumb people.
So look up from your phone, shut down display. Take in your surroundings, make the most of today. Just one real connection is all it can take, to show you the difference that being there can make.
Be there in the moment, when she gives you the look, that you remember forever as 'when love overtook'. The time she first held your hand, or first kissed your lips, the time you first disagreed and you still love her to bits.
The time you don't have to tell hundreds of what you've just done. Because you want to share this moment with just this one. The time you sell you sell your computer, so you can buy a ring, for the girl of your dreams, who is now the real thing.
The time you want to start a family, and the moment when, you first hold your little girl, and get to love again. The time she keeps you up at night, and all you want is rest. And the time you wipe away the tears as your baby flees the nest.
The time your baby girl returns, with a boy for you to hold, and the time he calls you granddad and makes you feel real old. The time you've taken all you've made, just by giving life attention. And how you're glad you didn't waste it, by looking down at some invention.
The time you hold your wife's hand, sit down beside her bed, you tell her that you love her and lay a kiss upon her head. She then whispers to you quietly as her heart gives a final beat, that she's lucky she got stopped by that lost boy in the street.
But none of these times ever happened, you never had any of this. When you're too busy looking down, you don't see the chances you miss.
So look up from your phone, shut down those displays, we have a final act existence a set number of days. Don't waste your life getting caught in the net, because when the end comes there's nothing worse than regret. I'm guilty too of being part of this machine, this digital world, we are hear but not seen.
Where we type as we talk, and we read as we chat. Where we spend hours together without making eye-contact. So don't give into a life where you follow the hype. Give people your love, don't give them your 'like'. Disconnect from the need to be heard and defined, go out into the world leave instructions behind.
Look up from your phone. Shut down that display. Stop watching this video. Live life the real way.
