Numerology For 19th Commonwealth Games - Delhi 2010

There is much hue and cry over the preparation of the 19th Commonwealth Games to be held in Delhi in October 2010. Criticism of the slow ongoing progress and the fast approaching deadline are making success look like a distant dream to the onlookers.

The prediction is based on deep numerological calculations. According to him the influence of three major numbers which will make these games a success, 19 (compound), 3 (single),and 7 (single).

NUMBER 19:

According to numerology this number is regarded as fortunate and extremely favourable.It is symbolised as the sun and is called the prince of heaven. It is a number promising happiness, success, esteem, and honour,and promises success in ones plans for the future. Number 19 consist of number 1 and 9.

Number 1 represents the Planet Sun which is the ruler of all the planets posessing power, dominance, force, name, and fame.

The Number 9 is the number of the Planet Mangal which represents agressiveness and is associated with sports and politics.

It is the 19th Commonwealth Games which Delhi will be hosting. The total of the 19th games is (1+9=10=1+0=(1 ) one and total of name Delhi (4+5+3+5+1=18=1+8=(9) is nine.

The games will be inaugurated by the Honourable President of India Smt. Pratibha Patil whose date of birth is 19th December 1934 and her birth number is also 19 (1+9=10=(1) which coincides with the numbers 1 and 9 (1+9=10=(1) of the19th Commonwealth Games.19 has proved lucky for her in the past when she won the Presidential election on 19th July 2007.

Number 3:

The no. 3 is represented by the Planet Guru which gives growth and success.

The Commonwealth Games 2010 will commence from 3rd October till the 14th October which is for a duration of 12 days (1+2)=(3).

Smt. Pratibha Patil is the 12th (1+2)=(3) President of India. She is born in December representing the positive period of number 3.

The Commonwealth Games 2010 are the 3rd games which are being hosted by India after the two Asian Games which were held in 1951 and 1982.

The opening ceremony of the games was held at Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in Lodhi Road having the pin code 3.

The sum of the year 2010 (2+0+1+0)=(3) is also 3.

The total of India (1+5+4+1+1)=12=(1+2)=(3) is also 3.

Since number 3 represents Planet Guru which is a pure graha representing growth and prosperity there will be a positive influence of Guru on these games. The games will therefore be well organised and will be a success.

Number 7:

The no.7 is represented by the Planet Ketu which is the care taker of sports, relationships, media and communications. The influence of number 7 shows in the name Commonwealth Games itself.

The numerological total of name Commonwealth Games (3+7+4+4+7+5+6+5+1+3+4+5+3+1+4+5+3+)=70=(7+0)=7 adds up to number 7.

At present our Prime Minister is Dr. Manmohan Singh,for him no.7 is quite lucky his residence is at 7 race course road new delhi. The elections took place on 16th (1+6=7) May 2009, and his party got the majority. His lucky 7 will also give positivity to the event.

The year in which these games were named as "Commonwealth Games" also sums up to number 7 (the year was 1978 i.e 1+9+7+8=25=(2+5)=7).

Jawaharlal Nehru stadium (1+1+6+1+5+1+2+3+1+3+5+5+5+2+6+3+4+1+4+1+6+4=70=7+0=7) also sums up to number 7 numerologically.

New Delhi the current venue (5+5+6+4+5+3+5+1)=34=(3+4)=7 also sums up to number 7 numerologically.

Lodhi Road (3+7+4+5+1+2+7+1+4)=34=(3+4)=7 also sums up to number 7 numerologically.

3rd October 2010 (3+1+0+2+0+1+0+=7) the day of the opening ceremony also adds up to no.7 numerogically.

The logo of the Commonwealth Games comprises of 7 dots and 7 colours in it.

The Power Of Intentions

I must admit, this is a rather spontaneous post which came to me while I was reading the first chapter of The Sedona Method. I'm usually one who puts off exercises when I read them in books, but tonight I had the urge to follow through.

The exercise asked to state your intentions. I thought it would be beneficial if I posted my unedited journal online for everyone to see. Much of what I wrote is very personal but to be honest, I have nothing to hide. If anything posting my intentions will drive me more.

The following is my unedited journal on my intentions:

· I intend to improve my relationships with my friends and family especially my brother.

· I intend to create meaningful and authentic relationships with those in tune with the frequency that I require at the current time.

· I intend to have one of the most popular personal development blogs in the world where I help hundreds of thousands learn the possibilities of this boundless world.

· I intend to develop my ability to live in the now and thus increase my contentment with the life I have at this current moment.

· I intend to have a body that is congruent with how a healthy and stressless body should be.

· I intend, over the course of the next year, to not only absorb knowledge but more importantly implement it in into my daily life.

· I intend to help all those who are in need of my support.

· I intend to remain judge free and instead look at the wonderful qualities each human possess.

· I intend to develop my problem solving abilities by looking at problems from a different angle.

· I intend to sincerely contribute to humanity while sticking true to my values.

· I intend to make an abundant living through passive income.

· I intend to make a name for myself through providing value in guest posts.

· I intend to make make connections that will not only help me but the others involved.

· I intend to increase my awareness of the negative feelings that sometimes arise and make a conscious effort to release them.

· I intend in crafting a flexible daily routine congruent with my values and goals which will enable me to have the energy I need to be at my best.

· I intend to be driven but also content with the things I have here and now.

· I intend to improve myself through experience as well as reading and talking with other positive individuals.

· I intend to view people not from a beneficial point of view but rather a mindset of love.

· I intend to make mistakes and do my best to learn from them.

· I intend to not sacrifice my values in order to fit in but rather connect with individuals who will bring the best out in me.

· I intend to make my college experience a valuable one and continue to take strides to living a jobless lifestyle despite resistance from those who do not understand.

· I intend to continue to provide value to my blog readers by talking about not only my successes but my failures as well.

· I intend to follow my dreams no matter what lies on the road ahead.

· I intend to do everything I can to make the world a better place. Cliche I know.

· I intend to connect with people in the most authentic way possible.

· I intend to learn many new hobbies and facts in hopes of expanding my horizons as a human being.

· I intend to experiment with various personal growth methods especially the ones that seem foreign to me.

· I intend to make a full income from my blog/writing and personal speaking.

· I intend to connect with the source as much as possible and express gratitude each and ever day.

· I intend to lead not only by words but my example as well. I intend to be rather then try to be.

· I intend be honest rather than superficial.

· I intend to always keep my head up even when the dark clouds continue to pass overhead.

· I intend to live for a purpose larger than myself and contribute in a way I never thought possible.

· But most importantly I intend to connect with the source of oneness and love.

The Power of Intentions

Although I have been doing journals for several years, I found tonight's journal to be especially inspiring. I think this is largely due to the fact I let my shields down and just wrote.

While I have held many intentions in my head for quite sometime, it felt great to write them down. It was shocking at how fast my thoughts manifested. At the time of this writing I feel wonderful and I have to credit that to my intentions journal.

It will be interesting to see the effect my journal has on the upcoming weeks and month. Perhaps many of my intentions will one day manifest. I couldn't be more excited.

What do you want in your life?

Take some time to journal your intentions.

Not later - Now.

7 Tips For Dealing With Confrontation

A lot of people cannot handle confrontation and start to shake, they lose control of their voice pitch, and they want to hit out and cannot control their thoughts properly. It can be frustrating when someone is putting us down and you can't argue back as you have got a touch of confrontation jitters. This is the `flight or fight' syndrome kicking in and it pumps adrenaline throughout your body in readiness to kick someone's arse or in readiness to run away from someone you think might kick your arse. It is your body getting prepared.

Here are 7 tips to deal with confrontation:

1. Take a deep breath just before the confrontation or during it, if necessary. This lowers your heartbeat and blood pressure.

2. Breathe a little slower, again this lowers your heartbeat and lowers the amount of adrenaline running through your body.

3. Take 5 minutes, if you can, and quickly rehearse what you are going to say to someone. Make key points of your argument.

4. Get to know what triggers your anger and prepare a new response to that trigger. By doing this you are aware of the buttons people can push to elicit a certain response - When you know your own triggers it less likely that someone can push the buttons as you are prepared.

5. Make the person aware of how confrontational they are being - Saying something like `why are you shouting at me?', `Why are you being so aggressive'. This turns the energy back on the person and lets them look at themselves for a minute, this might calm them down as a lot of people get lost in the moment and don't realise they are being aggressive.

6. Another way is to turn all the attention back on the person you are arguing with. `You seem really angry about that!'; `You look as if you're really pissed off?' Again this can have the same affect of point 5.

7. Don't get sucked into their arguments. The purpose of an argument is to manipulate you into losing the argument thereby showing the other person they have won and they are superior. If you don't get sucked in there is no argument to win, and you come out looking the better person.

If all else fails, the nose is a good place to hit first which can temporarily blind them with tears.

10 Things To Say To Keep The Peace

So many big arguments begin with small comments. How many times have you started a conversation on friendly terms, and then wound up in some kind of dispute that you didn't anticipate?

In my work as a family, divorce, and small-claims mediator, I've seen countless offhand remarks start a fight or add fuel to an existing fire. And I have found myself in plenty of situations where I've wanted to give someone (my husband, a colleague) what I thought was helpful advice only to inadvertently offend him or her.

The holidays, with all their extended-family gatherings, can be a verbal minefield. You're either dodging nosy questions from some tactless relative over dinner ("Still dieting then?") or taking out the stress of all that extra cooking and shopping on those dearest to you ("Do I have to do everything around here?").

It doesn't have to be that bad. Use these 10 go-to phrases to defuse potentially volatile conversations and help you get through the coming weeks and the months and years to follow in harmony.

1. "Thank you for your opinion. I'll think about it. " When you receive unsolicited advice at a family gathering, such as Aunt Sylvia's suggestion that you change your hairstyle, just smile and respond with this casual conversation terminator. If you're rudely asked a question like "Are you still single?" don't reply with a lengthy excuse. Say, "Yes, and I'll let you know if anything changes." The goal is to be polite and end the conversation. There is no need to be defensive or rude.

2. "Is this a good time for you?" Whenever I want my husband's full attention for a conversation and I don't want to compete with a football game on TV, I ask this simple question. If he gives me a green light by saying yes (and turning off the game), I proceed. If he says no, I ask, "When would be a better time?" We then agree on another time and a fight is avoided. Consider using this line at work, too. Your boss and coworkers

3. "Would you like my thoughts?" One of the biggest complaints kids have about parents is that they constantly issue orders and judgments. Sometimes this is a parent's job. But if you are often confronted with an angry response ("Who made you the authority?" or "It's none of your business"), you might benefit from dialing back. Ask your child if she wants to hear what you have to say. If she says yes, it means she is ready to listen. If she says no, then button your lip. This works for adult family members, too.

4. "Why don't we get the facts?" Some people who come to mediation tend to argue about anything and everything, including things that can be easily resolved. If you find yourself in a dispute with your brother about the price of a car or the name of the restaurant you went to over the holidays last year, state this one-liner, then look up prices online, call a store, or drive by the restaurant not so one of you can say, "I told you so," but so you can move on from the discussion before it spirals into a fight.

5. "I need your help. Can you please…?" People often ask me what they can say to family members or coworkers who don't assume their share of responsibility. Here's my simple tip: Rather than accusing the person of being lazy or inconsiderate, ask her for what you want and be specific. "Since we both drink coffee, how about if I make the pot and you clean it, or vice versa?" People are not mind readers.

6. "Let's wait on this until we have more information". Know when to table a discussion. One couple came to me with a dispute that had turned into a huge problem for them: They were constantly arguing over whether they should stay in their city apartment or move to a house in the suburbs. The issue wasn't which choice they should make (they had already agreed they wouldn't move for three years, or until their oldest child reached school age); it was that they were having a premature argument. At times like these, it's important to remind yourself and your conversation partner that it's too early to discuss the issue. Preferences will change over time, as will facts, such as home prices.

7. "What did you mean by that?" Sometimes asking the right question is all it takes to avoid an argument. We all make assumptions about other people's intentions. Asked in a genuinely interested (and not passive-aggressive) way, this question allows your conversation partner to explain himself before you jump to conclusions. Only then should you offer your response.

8. "I don't like that, so why don't we do this instead?" This is how to complain with impact. Rather than nagging your mate about a problem, focus on finding a solution for the future. For example, instead of moaning about buying all the holiday gifts, suggest that he shop for the men in the family and you buy for the women or split some other duties.

9. "I'm sorry you're upset." When you find yourself frustrated with a friend or a close family member who didn't take your advice, you desperately want to say something like "I told you so" or "That was a dumb thing to do." Don't. Dishing out criticism won't change a thing. A compassionate response will help you both move forward.

10. "Let me get back to you." Everyone needs a prepared comment to delay a response when he or she is put on the spot. For example, a cousin suggests you prepare a main course for her potluck Christmas party for 20 people or the president of the PTA picks you to head a committee for a year. Keep this line handy at all times, especially during the holiday season. If you don't want the person to feel as if she is being dismissed, give her a time when she can expect a response: "Let me get back to you by tomorrow afternoon." And then make sure that you do.

The Dark Side Of Positive Thinking

The other day I came across a post on
positive thinking and it really made me think. Today I'd like to share my thoughts on the subject.

I'm a big fan of positive thinking, really I am. Those who think positively tend to have a much greater quality of life than those who let negative thoughts continually command their lives. But the fact of the matter is, positive thinking can only get you so far, by no means is it the answer to all your problems.

Being an active member in the personal development community, I see countless of individuals claiming their lives are a mess, many modeling the complaint,"I sit at home all day thinking about all the things I want, but nothing good ever comes out of it."

Really? Do you really think just sitting at home all day thinking "positive thoughts" will manifest the life that you desire? Unfortunately many do.

That's the problem with movies like the Secret and similar belief models; they falsely market the idea of "think it and it will occur." Hundreds of thousands of individuals believe that by just thinking positively their life is going to magically transform. They then fall victim to the delusion of their own reality, causing a tremendous amount of pain and suffering.

Does that render visualization and uplifting affirmations useless? - Absolutely not. I'd be crazy if I were to say positive thinking is worthless, because it really can make a huge impact on the life you live. Yet the act of wishful thinking remains deficient, it can't stand alone without quickly collapsing.

Positive thinking without action is like a beautiful car without wheels . It doesn't matter how good it looks, without wheels your car isn't going to go very far (if anywhere at all.) This same principle applies to your life journey. You can think all the wonderful thoughts you want, but without Effort and Execution the life you long for won't ever truly appear.

Because a great majority of our society is so habitually negative to begin with, positive thinking often represents a tremendous upgrade to the quality of one's life. A positive thought is Always better than a negative one. But in the end reality always trumps your thoughts regardless of its intention.

I'm not going to lie; I tend to be an overly optimistic person, with an occasional flash of pessimistic pride. I like to believe that I am going to create massive change in this world. I like to believe that one day I'm going to touch millions of people's lives. I like to believe that through my writing and passion for growth that I will have an impact on all those who encounter me. Some pretty lofty goals. And for me to make my goals and aspirations a reality, I'm going to have to think big and take constant action. That is the only way.

It takes a truly aware individual to acknowledge when his or her reality isn't congruent with their thoughts. Yet examining your reality from an objective lens is essential. No doubt doing so takes a great deal of courage but it is required to really grow. Flooding your head with positive intentions is a great step up from a mind filled with negative muck, but even then you still have room to evolve.

Do you substitute action with thoughts of fluff? Or do you supplement positive thinking with consistent hustle?

All the thinking in the world doesn't change the truth.
