Add as a preferred source on Google

The direction our life takes is largely determined by the conscious choices we make. And the choices we make are influenced by the information inputs that we allow our minds to receive.

To understand the need for self-study, try doing this simple experiment. Search for any topic on Google or other search engines and count the results you get. On an average any search topic yields around 20,000 pages on the Internet! Welcome to the new era of information explosion. Even a programmed computer will crash if there is information overload! What to speak of human beings who are not programmed machines but highly conscious and sensitive living organisms.

For example, look at the number of magazines that a household subscribes to nowadays. Are they all really important and indispensable? Try this simple advice that many time management experts offer: When one of your magazine subscription expires, wait for a few weeks before renewing it. If you're missing it, then it's worth renewing it, if not, just forget it, you've just offloaded some unwanted information.

So, follow these practical steps and enjoy a spiritually warm winter vacation!
