People are important for two reasons. One, they teach you lesson; secondly, they make you. Not that they are responsible for your life, but, it is because of them that you learn what to do or what to avoid. You will meet all kinds of people in your life- good, bad & ugly. But, inside every body there is a beautiful soul. Your job is to talk to the soul of person, per se; not to the person. And the way to talk to the soul of person is to make him feel good. Once you do it, you will make a connection to cherish.
Ironically, most of the creations of the world have come through mistakes. The problem is that we are not taught how to make mistakes; on the contrary, we are always taught how not to. And that is the reason that we become intelligent but lack creativity. Making mistake makes one creative, as well as, confident. Think of a child who is appreciated whenever he makes mistake. He may not become the most intelligent, but he will surely gain more wisdom in the given circumstances. And if he knows the art of selecting which ones to keep, he will go on to become more successful than the person who happens to be the most intelligent.
Today is the best day of your life. Live it as if it were the only day left. Feel the joy in the air, caress the air passing by, enjoy the sound in silence & live every moment of it. Even if things are not going your way, love it. Because God's plan is not always supposed to be to your liking but His plan is the only one that matters. So accept it. Accept the change. Accept the opposition. Accept the small faults in self & other human beings. Accepting today is accepting God's plan. And that is the one that matters !
Being oneself is the most difficult job to do in this world & it is because you have to go through many difficult processes. To be self you have to first recognize your calling; why were you sent in this world. This itself is a big challenge & if you recognize the purpose of your life, you will have to move towards it with all your force. Once you start moving, you have to deal with a lot of issues like people laughing at you, criticizing you & even rejecting you. But if you decided to be yourself, you will keep moving & ultimately will meet the purpose of your life. Then & then only it may be said that you lived a life otherwise it would be another life wasted on this planet.
Life has a strange way of choosing people for worries, struggle & pain; it prays on easy targets. It attacks people who are always grumbling, whining & short selling themselves. One way to give back to life in such situation is to smile back. If you keep smiling in such situations, life will be tired of playing pranks with you. And who knows it starts loving you !
Greed is the cardinal sin of present generation. We don't love people so much as we love things. Things have become the be-all and end-all of all actions of present generation. We want a palatial house ; who cares if we are not at peace with ourselves. We want a luxury car ; doesn't matter if it is bought with ill-gotten wealth. We want the best education that money can buy, so that our kids do the same & collect more money. We forget that at the end of the day we will not need that house,car or all the toys we collected but someone who whispers in ear- " I would have loved you the same way even without these toys."
Life is what you make of it & the best way to make most of it is to keep experimenting with your life. When you succeed you will be knowledgeable & when you fail you will gain wisdom. We love to get settled in the humdrum of life & feel secured. But security is not getting settled or living a set routine. Security is making oneself adequate for the life ahead. And the best way to get ready for life ahead is to invite challenges. And the only way to invite challenges is to experiment with life.
