Life happens
Life happens. Whether you sit back or
whether you move. I often think it is like holding out two fingers like we did
as kids, and asking someone to choose one. If you choose the one on the right,
this will happen. And if you choose the left one, then that will happen.
But we seldom let something happen. We are
pushing or pulling in one direction or another most of the time because our
wants are so many.
Only when you sit back and become an
observer, the unexpected begins to happen. Give it a chance and interesting
things can happen.

Conversations
As you age with experiences, now on an
emotional high and on a low the next minute, with all kinds of upheaval and
painful learning, there comes a time when everything levels out and you just
count your blessings every day. And everything is a bonus, either to make you
happy or teach you lessons.
I guess negativity is so exhaustingly
futile that this realization is enough to shun it. Whether you allowed it
through people or situations, it never helped, only hindered, most importantly,
your personal growth.
So, these days, one is left talking to oneself
about these things if not to God. My conversations with God are on the
increase. Nice to know you have a friend you can talk to about just about
everything and who knows you so well. Answers come from within when you
genuinely ask. Quite amazing!

Love and Attention
Loved ones weaken your strength
sometimes. How much of that feeling is
love and how much attachment is vital to your well being. “Moha” which is
attachment is considered a human affliction because it borders on ignorance of
our spirituality. Attachment is limited to our time on the earth and makes us
needy and dependent. On people, on material Possessions etc. Even on getting love and attention. Crutches!
It pays to get stronger with every realization
of being attached or it will keep us rooted while others move on.

Simplicity
Simplicity is not a weakness. It is
strength, especially in modern times because it requires honesty and courage to
be simple. Not only that, polluted minds feel threatened because courage is
high vibration which has a different energy.
The advantage of being simple is a free
mind, a mind that can engage in creativity instead of worrying about trivial
matters. Life is a gift and we need to use it well.

Economy of words
I have noticed that people who respect
themselves are generally very dependable. And being dependable is a sterling
quality that spells commitment AND fulfilling verbal promises.
Today, it is the one thing to say things
for effect. Like, “I would love to see you sometime” or, “I will call you
tomorrow”. I would say, don’t say it because no one is waiting for you say
these things. And if they take your words seriously, you may lose their trust.
Gradually, no one will believe you.
If we respect ourselves, we would exercise
economy of words. Not say what we don’t really mean but be sincere in general.
Truth matters. Simplicity matters.
