Anything is possible


When people make statements like, you are older and that’s why you are mature, I really do not agree. There are some very old souls who can stun you with their wisdom at a very young age. They may be born to immature parents. Anything is possible.
Maturity is a very comprehensive word which is not to be looked at in a very limited way. Actually, it occupies a very vast space. It encompasses right thinking, inclusiveness, kindness, understanding , compassion, tolerance, diplomacy , love and respect for human beings and above all, always connecting to your higher self when dealing with everyone.
I think mature people would be like this. So, when anyone is called “mature”, it is not necessarily age related. It is a special grace which either is god given or comes with a lot of work on the self.

Peaceful life


Life carries with it a lot of role plays. Many relationships if you would care to have them. So many names and tags! By virtue of birth or a choice of people you want to be around.
But I see many are trapped in those relationships Compulsions, not choices. Somewhere along the way, there was love and then there was none. Things change. People change and move on. New ones enter your life. Each one fulfils you in some way, if you don’t hanker for any special considerations.
Life can be simple if you truly let go. One day, we will all leave this world. So much misery; so much disease; so much agony for what?
Simplify your lives the only answer to a peaceful life. Let life seek you out instead of the other way round.

Quality of existence


Large heartedness is always the way to go. Humans are, by virtue of being a part of the Divine energy and hence, spiritual beings, are naturally expansive. This intrinsic quality must be retained to lead a higher quality of existence.
Ultimately, the micro IS the macro. But small mindedness is not productive. It is not natural. Servicing our needs which have already been built into the cosmic plan is therefore, is counterproductive. What we service is our wants, not our needs. And that's where the difference is not recognized.
You will notice that the moments of the greatest happiness are always when you have extended yourself beyond yourself to others; Maybe, charity or a kind listening ear, "annadaan”, imparting education, and the like, even loving selflessly.
The day we recognize this, we will be well on our way to a truly happy state of being.

Perception


Setting examples! The common belief is that parents and elders should set examples to their children to follow. From generation to generation, this hasn't changed. And while that is true, many parents have to also face a lot of flak and criticism for not coming up to the mark by setting adequate examples worthy of being emulated.
In all of this, I often wonder! Are we setting good examples for ourselves first? Or is it that counseling and advising others on how to live life is easier? For sure, in most cases.
So, how do I appear to me be the moot questioned because it is only that perception which can be changed if we don't look good to ourselves? We can't mute that inner voice that speaks to us like we can mute a chat group with a click today.
So, it is most worthwhile to start improving our image in our own eyes and take our own advice, which we generally give others. Be your own example and let others emulate it if they so wish.
