Being Calm within....

I used to wonder, why God doesn't have a temper? I mean like the one we earth bound mortals have. We argue, yell, hit out at the drop of a hat... considering the highly inflammable society that we are beginning to be. And its a rare occurrence these days, that you may find someone who would take things calmly, contemplate and over a period of time may (or may not) respond to some ridiculous situation!

Probably the key to being calm to any and every nuisance is to have an inner balance. Who said life would be a bed of roses? But surely to handle it, face it and pass through its tough phases, one should have a distinguishing power. The power to understand the situation, know its Pros & Cons, its importance, its impact on self and others. Once you are able to have an inner control over your stronger emotions (like Anger!), you can face quite a few things of the day.

And this power is something we can learn and attain by contemplating ourselves, our life, our existence and our importance. It would take just few minutes everyday to peacefully ponder over what is more important - Our self or the reaction to a ridiculous situation...

You can determine how important you are to yourself. You can make roses out of those poking thorns. You can decide what can hurt you and what cannot. You and only you can take your life in the direction that you want. And definitely who doesn't love peace? So let it be your way... take control of your inner self and try to make the outer world a better, peaceful and lovelier place to live in!

Probably now we know why God doesn't have a temper, for He created this beautiful Universe... and gave life to one of the most beautiful planet - Our Earth....
