A note to read when you are in bad mood!
Projecting good thoughts, and making the choice to remain positive, or find some way to stay positive during negative situations, basically draws people to you. It's not rocket science. Whether you believe in the concepts of "metaphysics" and energy being sent into the universe, or not, the fact of the matter, is that people prefer and are attracted to those with positive attitudes. And if you project a positive attitude (keep the thoughts or energy positive), then you are more likely to attract things/ people into your life that are also positive, strong, and influential. If you make them feel good about themselves, let them "see" your positivity, and "feel" your optimistic attitude, they will be drawn to you as a person. Instinctively, they will trust you more, become willing to help support you, motivate you, and even help you through life.
If you choose to focus on negative, complain, dwell on things, and feel sorry yourself, and send out negative energy and attitudes about life, then who wants to be around you? I personally don't. People will not tell you....because they don't want to hurt your feelings, but, it is draining to be around someone who chooses to focus on that. People want to surround themselves with others who lift them up, make the laugh, and who appreciate life. People admire those who are emotionally strong and those who help others. You can feel the positive energy when you are around someone who is focused on positive and projecting the attitude. It lifts you up. It refreshes you. The same goes for those who are being negative. Now I'm not saying that you must be a unhuman super person. Everyone deals with negative emotions and is sometimes in a bad or sad mood. But if you are focused on positive, you accept it, are aware, and then do something proactive to change it. It's how you percieve, and how you handle negative situations that label you positive in someones eyes and attract them to you.
Lastly, you need to remember, that when something causes you to be in a negative mood, it paralyzes you. Negative thoughts control you and keep you from moving foward in life. Focusing on negative thoughts are simply a "waste" of your time, and drain the energy from you. They make you physically tired. They lower your immune system. The create anxiety. So be aware when they come, and make the choice to proactively do something to change those thoughts. Why waste your precious time on them, when you could be changing them and focusing on something positive that helps you move foward? It's your choice always. You choose whether you WANT to stay negative or whether you move foward. It's not an easy thing. I know. But the number one way is to surround yourself with positive people that can help you stay positive, and you do the same. The more you do this, the stronger you become.
So keep these things in mind next time you are in a bad mood, depressed, or angry. It's your choice how to handle it. You can change your thoughts, and you can help others change thiers and learn how to embrace being positive. I have truly mastered this through the years and now I'm inspired to help others learn to stay positive so that they can also be successful and happy in life.
Plus it's just good Kharma!
Be Positive! Project and see what happens. You have nothing to lose, and everything to gain! Cheers!

Tribute to Ashfaq Ahmed
Unfortunately, I coudnt post yesterday on his sixth anniversary. I want to just say--- We miss you alot Ashfaq sb.
KARACHI: Today marks the 6th death anniversary of Pakistan’s a distinguished writer, playwright, broadcaster, intellect and spiritualist, Ashfaq Ahmed. His prime qualities of heart and hand earned him appreciations across borders. He was regarded by many as the best Urdu Afsana (short-story) writer after Saadat Hasan Manto, Ismat Chughtai and Krishan Chander, following the publication of his famous short-story "Gaddarya" (The Shepherd) in 1955.
Ahmed was born on August 22, 1925 in Garhmukteshwar village, Ghaziabad, British India. He obtained his early education in his native district. Shortly before independence in 1947, he migrated to Pakistan and made Punjab’s metropolis Lahore, home.
He completed his Masters in Urdu literature from Government College, Lahore. Bano Qudsia, his wife and companion in Urdu literary circles is also one of the best Urdu novelists. She was his classmate at Government College.
Post partition when Ashfaq Ahmed arrived at Walton refugee camp with millions of other migrants, he would make announcements on a megaphone round the clock. Later, he got a job at Radio Azad Kashmir, which was established on a truck that used to drive around various parts of Kashmir.
He then got lectureship at Dayal Singh College, Lahore for two years. He then went to Rome to join Radio Rome as an Urdu newscaster. He also used to teach Urdu at Rome University.
During his stay in Europe, Ahmed got diplomas in Italian and French from the University of Rome and University of Grenoble, France. He also got a special training diploma in radio broadcasting from New York University.
The stories he wrote during childhood were published in Phool (flower) magazine. After returning to Pakistan from Europe, Ahmed published his own monthly literary magazine, Dastaango (story teller), and joined Radio Pakistan as a script writer.
Ahmed was made editor of the popular Urdu weekly, Lail-o-Nahar (day and night) by the Government of Pakistan, replacing famous poet Sufi Ghulam Mustafa Tabassum.
In 1962, Ashfaq Ahmed started his popular radio program, Talqeen Shah (The Preacher) which made him immensely popular among the people in towns and villages. It was a weekly feature that ran for three decades, the longest weekly radio show in the subcontinent.
He was appointed director of the Markazi Urdu Board in 1966, which was later renamed to Urdu Science Board, a post he held for 29 years. He remained with the board until 1979. He also served as adviser to the Education Ministry during Zia-ul-Haq's regime.
In the 60s, he produced a feature film, Dhoop aur Saie (shadows and sunshine), which was not very successful in the box office.
Ashfaq Ahmed's subtle sense of humor is reflected in his long-running radio programs and characters like "Talqeen Shah," while several TV drama series based on his memorable plays from three decades ago are still enjoyed by the audience. Their appeal lies in the universal truth of life portrayed in human hopes, emotions, aspirations and relationships that touch the soul of people of all age groups.
His popular TV plays include Aik Muhabbat Sau Afsanay (Bunch of Love Stories), Uchhay Burj Lahore Dey (Barbarians of Lahore), Tota Kahani (Story of the Parrot), Lekin (But), Hairat Kadah (Incredibility) and Mun Chalay Ka Sauda (Bargain of the Stubborn).
All through his life, Ashfaq Ahmad endeavored to reform society through his writings. He had authored over 25 books including a travelogue, Safar dar Safar (Long Journey), in an atypical style. In fact, he gave a new mold to diction and locale situations which many of his fans would fondly remember.
He used Punjabi literary words very well in Urdu and introduced a new kind of prose, which was unique to him. For his excellent literary work, he was awarded President's Pride of Performance and Sitara-i-Imtiaz for meritorious services in the field of literature and broadcasting.
Besides a great author of impressive and laudable books, Ashfaq Ahmed, later in life, was greatly inclined towards Sufism, which visibly reflected in most of his works. His close association with Qudrat Ullah Shahab and Mumtaz Mufti was also attributed to this inclination.
Of late, he used to appear in a get together with his fans in a television program 'Baittakh' (The Guest Room) and 'Zaviya' (The Dimension) where he gave swift but satisfying responses to each and every query placed before him, explicitly by the youth of each gender, in a mystic style.
Ashfaq Ahmed died on September 7, 2004 at the age of 79, of pancreatic cancer.
