Motivational Session by Mrs. Amrit Kalsi

*Those who are happiest never did have everything. But rather, they are thankful for everything they do have.*

Ms. Amrit Kalsi ,the deputy director training and counsellor of CT Group ,took an interactive session with the teachers of CT Public School. She told about G.O.D. We always say “God, God, God “but what does Godmean? Here *G* stands for Generator, *O* for Operator and *D* for Destroyer. Our body is the best example of it as stomach is the *Generator*, lungs, heart and kidneys are the *Operators* and brain is the *Destroyer* .

It indicates that we have to destroy our negative thoughts and always welcome the positive ones . Simultaneously we should discard all sorts of unused and old material lying in our house to get rid of negative vibes. She further insisted "To beat negative thinking, one should encounter the problem. Remember a situation in which you felt assured and calm. Accept yourself." Negative thinking doesn’t change overnight so baby steps are just what one needs.

Get around positive people. If your negative thoughts are linked to a specific strong emotion like fear, anger or jealousy, try letting them out in writing. You can then choose a way of destroying the paper on which you pent-up negativity. 

The Principal Mr. Daljeet Rana appreciated her by saying that She is really a source of inspiration for all of us. She always distributes love, light and the happiness to everyone. The Vice Principal Ms. Sukhdeep Kaur also thanked her for this motivational session and support .
