To me this is what life looks like.....from dusk to dawn and dawn to dusk. In other words, 'short and sweet.' I do not think beyond this and I feel contented and happy. For this is all that I can handle.
Life is short and no one knows how very short it can be. Why think about the problems and worries that may never happen. Live for the day, and leave tomorrow for tomorrow. Feels so soothing and fascinating. Why grieve about the future when future might be better and brighter?
Live a productive life, share care, love and live. From Dawn to Dusk and Dusk to Dawn, bring happiness and share happiness.
Hard time - this is the time we complain a lot, a LOT. Feel so sorry for ourselves, feel so dejected, unfortunate, depressed and are drowned in all kinds of negativity.
Talking to someone today, who is a sister and a good friend, we realized that bad times are not bad at all. Believe me, they are in fact very valuable time, full of important lessons and a time when you see the whole world just the way they are.
Just like when you put something under microscope, you see more than naked eyes can. You see something and you see right through it. In other words, you get a much better vision which makes you realize that how blind you were but under the microscope of hardship, you can see things that you thought did not exist or were different.
My question is, how is hardship a bad experience? I have been through it and I feel great. I have learnt so much, seen so much, experienced so much which would have been IMPOSSIBLE, if not because of the bad time I went through. In fact, I feel truly grateful for being placed in such a situation.
If prosperity weakens us, pampers us, adversity on the other hand gives us so much confidence, strength and wisdom beyond measure.
To me adversity is a blessing, a gift of wisdom that teaches us the true values of everything and everyone around us. It drags us out from darkness into illumination.
If you are faced with challenges, do not feel sorry, feel blessed and privileged.
There comes circumstances in our life when silence is the only option. All we want to do is be an observer. We feel it is time to take the back seat, fold our hands and watch the mess right in front of our eyes. Is that a good idea?
Sometimes it also happens, we not only allow the mess to spread while we watch, we also participate in it 'silently.' We feel helpless and helplessly allow ourselves to suffer.
Keeping silent is not always the best option, though I agree sometimes it may be the 'only' option. In such a situation, I would walk away, choose to leave the party silently rather than be in the party and be miserable.
If silence is 'the option,' I would prefer to leave silently rather than stay and suffer silently. What would you do if I ask you?
We like to judge others, we have just fallen into this habit and simply cannot get over it. We sometimes even judge others for mistakes that we possess identical copy of. WOW! Looks like we are going overboard.
Since we have cultivated this addictive habit of looking for mistakes in others, just mistakes and nothing else, and overlooking their qualities, let us also have a look at ourselves. How can we condemn others for something that we are also a part of?
"Knowing yourself is the beginning of all wisdom" - Aristotle
Let us take that first step and know ourselves. Why not we have a quick look at the mirror and see what our reflection looks like. May be that will stop us from being too judgmental.
Knowing and acknowledging our own weaknesses, follies and limitations can be a solution to many of the issues we face in our daily life.
Let us listen to Aristotle and take that initial step to WISDOM.
Be wise ----> Be nice is my suggestion for today.
We all know that money has no value, at least in some ways. We have heard that it cannot buy you sleep or appetite or happiness etc. But not so nowadays. Today life is all about money and nothing else. It is sad but that is how it is.
While the value of everything else has fallen, the value of money is ever on the rise. Everything is assessed by money. That is how petty we have become and how low we have fallen.
Respect, love, humanity are all getting sold out for money. You are admired not because of your attributes but because of your money. No matter how one behaves, if he has a luxurious house, fancy cars and branded attires he is worthy enough to be bowed down to. It has all fizzled down to this!!!
We are struggling to live in a world where, "Money talks and dictates." On a scale of 1-10, how would you rate the value of money???
I am going to climb the mountain and make it to the snow-capped peak. Just Watch!
Never ever GIVE UP! Even if the whole world calls it off, gives up on you, just carry on........! Do not give up on yourself. Keep believing in yourself and keep reminding yourself that things will turn around and you will march proudly to the finish line to hold high the trophy of victory. "YOU WILL!"
Even when you know that everything is slipping from your hands, even when you realize that everyone has deserted and you are all alone, even when you are in the midst of total darkness, even when the weather turns stormy,
KEEP CALM. Hold your head high with pride and shout out to the world that you are going to make it.
YES - YOU - WILL!
Remember only after failure comes success. There is no success without failure. All flower blooms from dust and dirt. All rainfall are evaporated water. Everything starts from something and something starts from nothing.
Create your own success story and start with, "I did not give up and here I am today."
No matter how much you are pressurized or discouraged, turn around and say, "Me, give up? NEVER!"
"He who can listen to music in the midst of noise can achieve great things." - Vikram Sarabhai
Another great and unique quote. Wow, I am just so pleased to receive ideas from family and friends. This seems like a very calm, composed and focused person, so unlike me. I cannot endure distractions and when I am doing something I want total peace and quiet.
But, all the same, I admire such individuals who can enjoy music in a noisy place and it does not bother them. Incredible! How can they do it!
Or we can put it another way, that no matter what is going on around us, we continue to enjoy life. We maintain our positive attitude even though surrounded by all kinds of disturbances. We thrive, and make the most of any condition we happen to be in.
To me, the second explanation sounds more indicative. What do you think? Can you enjoy music amidst loud banging?
