Mistakes
The worst thing we can do is beat ourselves
up for everything that turns out to be a mistake. No one makes mistakes
deliberately. Mistakes are generally a hindsight , based on the consequences.
The tendency to self criticise is good for growth, but too much of it can rob
us of our self esteem and confidence, specially when we get put down by others
also. Let it go. Only humans can make mistakes.
The best thing you can do is to keep going
: Don’t be afraid to get back up – to try again, to love again, to live again,
and to dream again. Don’t let a hard lesson harden your heart.
Life’s best lessons are often learned at
the worst times and from the worst mistakes.
There will be times when it seems like
everything that could possibly go wrong is going wrong.
And you might feel like you will be stuck
in this rut forever, but you won’t.
When you feel like quitting, remember that
sometimes things have to go very wrong before they can be right.
Sometimes you have to go through the worst,
to arrive at your best.
Yes, life is tough, but you are tougher.
Find the strength to laugh every day.
Find the courage to feel different, yet
beautiful.
Find it in your heart to make others smile
too.
Don’t stress over things you can’t change.
Live simply.
Love generously.
Speak truthfully.
Work diligently.
And even if you fall short, keep going.

Aspect of life
The concepts of right and wrong, and truth and honesty survive in the minds of men only as long as there isn’t a tendency of people using people. At that point, everything boils down to keeping the people you need , happy and in good humour. At any cost. To oneself also.
The winds against non materialism are very
strong and sweeping people off the ground , so to speak, since a long time. No
wonder there are so many grounding techniques being circulated.
It is not as if it is so necessary for
people to focus on the karmic aspect of life. Being aware of it itself can
carry us forward to understand the true value of the values we don’t support
anymore.
Amassing “expensive” objects is like
collecting dead wood. And when people must be used to amass dead wood, then we
must conclude that people must have severed their connections with what they
were to have been connected with.
The expensive commodities , not available for
purchase are the real wealth. You carry THIS energy with you. Dead wood,
however expensive, must be left behind to perish like our physical existence.
Yet, all we see around us are unimagined
covetousness.
