Thoughts.. :)

How i feel...depends on what i think....and what i think...depends on so many things. It is quite easy to think...when it comes to thinking about anything and everything or to just let our mind wander as it likes....But when it is to focus our thoughts on something....or when we want to think only about good and see the positive things.....sometimes...the opposite happens! Why.....? A very simple....very general...question....which can't be answered so easily. 

We all know that it is always better to see the colorful side of life.....to let only good thoughts conquer us....

Sometimes...when i think of the small small things make me happy....like....a smile from a complete stranger when I am in some kind of confusion......or a song that was forgotten long before but still brings so many colorful memories when i hear it now......or a conversation with a friend who makes me laugh...makes me come back to my spirits whatever mood I was in...

And when it comes to my unhappiness....i realise...very silly things.....i let very very silly things take over my thoughts sometimes!! And now I am happy that i realised it is actually small things that comes out when I expect something from others..or when i receive the most unexpected...or when i judge..which i should never be doing....! 

Yes! It all depends on me...my feelings.....my happiness....my sorrows.....all these are reflections of my thoughts....things i choose to do.....people I choose to be with.....! It's just the way I look at it... :)

Being Grateful!!!

A new day...very fresh..very beautiful...and very very colorful :)

I always feel that its really great if one could start a day with an attitude of gratitude!

First of all...being thankful for letting me get up this morning....that too without anything much to worry about....there may be many...who are not that lucky.

I feel great...and really thankful..when i see the sun rises.....when i see the plants wake up with the first rays of sun and slightly sway with the breeze to send out the fragrance of their flowers to me and to the world... that's the best good morning wish I can think of :)

The first sip of my freshly brewed coffee.....keeps me fresh for the whole day :)

The naughty smile my little one gives me...with her eyes closed....when I kisss  her good morning.......it makes my day!!

That soft..quick hugs and kisses...from my angel and from my sweetheart...when we say bye and wish a good day to each other...I realize that..it means world to me :)

The whole day i spend...with my routine works....with my books.....chit chat wih my friends....sometimes in my small garden.....daily routine drives..... even if sometimes the repetitions irritates me....ha ha....I enjoy all these.......these small small things....actually makes me happy.....and happiness is my choice :) :) :) and I am thankful for being able to choose happiness :) :) :)

Great :)

Yes!!!! I feel good.....better.....na...great!!! :)  Now i realize that i shouldn't have stopped writing....that was a very big mistake I have done to myself..! I know there is no point in 'should..could...would...haves' :) :)  I am really glad that I am back...back to my own path...the path of a seeker....the path to self realisation :)

I know I am smiling a lot... :) yes....I really am :) :)

I was leading a confused life all these years....I think!

I was confused....about almost everything.....about my priorities....my intentions.....about life.....as a whole....! I may not be able to tell why...but....I know..I was! And may be that realisation is helping me to come out of it and be myself....the happy...ever smiling...me :) :) :)

Today!

I feel like a baby here :) I wonder...what kept me away from writing....all these days...no....years.....6 years!!!! I know there is no such excuse which can justify this :(
May be i can say...i was busy.....no...i can't.....because I was not really....may be I was lazy.....that is also not a very good reason.....because....no one can be that busy or lazy.....to keep themselves away from something they love to do...for this long!!

I do not know....what really kept me away from something i enjoyed most...writing down my thoughts and feelings...!
May be there is nothing to be surprised about my ignorance about this...almost everything is unknown to me now.....!

After all these years..when i was going through my old posts....I was wondering.....where i can find that person who wrote all that.....who wrote about her dreams....ambitions......who always tried to see the colors of life....who used to once shout to the whole world...that...she is here to make a difference....to live life to the fullest....to show the world the power of smile,love,kindness and peace....to show the world what magic her dreams will do.....!!!!

Did she really exist.....? I doubt....

Discover your Destiny!

The title i have given to this post is the name of the book i read now...Discover your Destiny with the Monk Who Sold his Ferrari...by Robin Sharma. "The Monk who sold his Ferrari" gave me a lot and lot to think about and I admire the way Mr. Robin Sharma adopted to tell the world the secret of lasting happiness.
Reading a book is a journey for me. The moment I start reading, the journey begins....mostly with the author as the guide and the characters as my fellow-travellers. :) . In this book....during my journey till date....i met some people.....each of them made me think about different aspects of life. Speciality here is.....my guide is Julian Mantle (The main Character), who is known as The Monk who sold his Ferrari, and my companion...my fellow-traveller......is Dar Sanderson...who was leading an unhappy...may be..unfulfilling life before meeting Julian.
Here, Julian acts as Dar's coach.....life coach i should say....who gives him...teaches him the message that "you are far greater than you have ever dreamed of being" and describes him the stages ...the 7 stages of self-awakening.

Its really interesting....it makes me think of myself.....to see myself and my life from different angles.

One of the best reading choices for a Seeker.....I should say :)


Love and Peace.....!!!

Why postpone happiness to tomorrow?

Sri Sri

Every living creature wants to be happy. Whether it is money, power or sex, you get into it for the sake of happiness. Some people even enjoy misery because it gives them happiness!To be happy, you seek something. But despite getting it, you are not happy. A school-going boy thinks that if he goes to college, he will be more independent, free and, therefore, happy. If you ask a college-going boy whether he is happy, he feels that if he gets a job, he will be happy. Talk to somebody who is settled in his job or business, and you will find that he is waiting to get a perfect soul- mate to be happy. He gets a soul-mate, but he now wants a kid to be happy. Ask those who have children if they are happy. And they say: how can they relax until the children have grown up and have had a good education and are on their own? Ask those who are retired and done with all their responsibilities if they are happy? They long for the days when they were younger.All of one's life is spent in preparing to be happy someday in the future. It's like making a bed all night, but having no time to sleep in it. How many minutes, hours and days of your life have you spent being happy from within? Those are the only moments you have really lived life. Those were perhaps the days when you were a small kid, completely blissful and happy or a few moments when you were surfing, swimming or sailing or on a mountain top, living in the present and enjoying it.There are two ways of looking at life. One is thinking: "I'll be happy after achieving a certain objective." The second is saying: "I am happy come what may!" Which one do you want to live by?Life is 80 per cent joy and 20 per cent misery. But you hold on to the 20 per cent and make it 200 per cent ! It is not a conscious act, it just happens. Living in the moment with joy, alertness, awareness and compassion is enlightenment. Being like a child is enlightenment. It is being free from within, feeling at home with everybody, without barriers.Don't judge and don't worry about what others think of you. Whatever they think, it is not permanent. Your own opinion about things and people keeps changing all the time. So why worry about what others think about you? Worrying takes a toll on the body, mind, intellect and alertness. It is like an obstruction that takes you far away from yourself. It brings fear and fear is nothing but a lack of love. It is an intense sense of isolation.This can be handled by relaxing and doing some breathing exercises. Then you will realise that you are loved, you are a part of everybody and you are a part of the whole universe." This will liberate you and the mind will take a complete shift. You will then find so much harmony around.To find harmony, it is not as if you have to physically seek it by sitting somewhere for years. Whenever you are in love, your mind is in the present, you feel joyous. At some level, to some degree, everybody is meditating without being aware of it. There are moments when your body, mind and breath are all in harmony. That's when you achieve yoga. The art of living lies in the present moment.
