I Think...Therefore I am!

Keep your hopes alive, every single day - One day they will come true!

Being Positive: A Miracle!

There are some small but adorable acts that have continued through ages, like wishing for something when you see a falling star or may be throwing a coin into the wishing pond and many more. Many of us dismiss them as just another myth, without realising that someone really benefited from that act. These and many more acts of wishing from your heart are nothing but a way of asking the 'Supreme Power' for something that one truly wants. We either believe in God or some 'Power' that guides our life and the well known forces of nature and universe. When we pray, we really put forth our belief, our wish for something that we really want, in hope that it will be heard and answered. What we may not realise is that at that moment we are also having a positive attitude towards this wish that 'it be answered'.

When a person is positive about his desires and wishes, he really gets them one fine day. This is not just a reckless statement, it is something we all experience many a times in our life. Sometimes we really hope for some miracle, like, 'I really wish I get selected in this contest' or 'I really pray that I pass through these exams' etc and many more. And the wish turns out to be true. Is it not?

Similarly, being positive from within about your life, people, your health keeps you hopeful. By being positive, we induce our body to be in a positive frame, thereby ensuring a healthy body. Ever tried telling yourself that you will be fine, when faced with some illness? There have been examples of people getting cured of most serious illnesses, just by keeping a positive attitude that they will be fit and fine soon.

A positive attitude not only helps you achieve what you really wish for, but also helps our mind stay in a good frame without bothering to get mired in negative thoughts and their side effects, thereby ensuring good health. Your positivity also affects people around you, by transmitting positive energy. So now we may be able to solve the jigsaw puzzle of how things like Reiki, Yoga work on people. Its just a matter of thinking good thoughts, thinking positive and being positive about any situation. And you would surely find things turning around in your favor.

Go ahead, be positive!

So much to Life!

There's a bright day and starry night each day. God probably thought of a daily opera for all us creatures of Earth. But we are more curious to know if Tulsi's back to Kyuki, or whether some Celebrity is marrying or divorcing or simply some routine neighbourhood / office / society gossip that we can lay our hands onto!

We probably forget that there is a brand new opera that's to begin with us each day. And of course end with us each day too! Every day comes with a thousand opportunities. Opportunity to read, sing, dance, paint, work, love, travel, wonder, write, research, desire, give, bring, feel... I think its endless... And all this is not a core profession or a core task that I have mentioned. Its something each of us can do / are capable of doing. Yet we forsake all of it for smaller issues of life.

Think of taking a small stroll under the starry sky, or sitting by a rock near the sea and listening to Music or reading a good book. No show can match this one... where you can be with yourself and your life. Probably He gave us emotions, so that we can enact a great show everyday... Just how you'd do it is on you. "The End" should always make you happy... make you fulfilled, make you feel satisfied & definitely make you want the next day even more eagerly!

Each day in life is precious, make it as good as you can!

Ideally Speaking... Life should be:

Ideally, I should have been an interior designer / model / CEO. Ideally, I should have been living in London / Switzerland / Paris. Ideally I should have had "Rs. X million" amount of bank balance by this age .... The list can just go on.

"Ideally" everything seems perfect, beautiful & so well fitted into our life. We always have a scope for "idealism" to settle in, no matter what task at hand. But its never so. No matter how perfect we execute, get, receive, send, give or perform, we always have this scope undelivered!

Pause here now and think that if there was only "Idealism" in our life, we would be left with no more wishes. No more desire to have more, do more, get more. Its this unfinished, incompleteness that gives us wings of hopes, desires and wants.

In life you may get what's "Ideal", but then you may not value it, because you would'nt have seen the "not so ideal" picture. God really had the vision to see this "forever wanting" (crudely - Greed!) in us humans. That's exactly why He gave you life the way it is. So that you value it, desire for something better and achieve your ideal life.

Today, if you're still there waiting for ideal things to happen, stop and think: Nothing ideal or perfect exists... You ought to manage yourself and your life to get an ideal.

Marriage / Husband / Wife / Sister / Brother / Job / House / Money: Nothing can be tagged ideal... till you really hone yourself to be one. Its just this lifetime... make it "The ideal one!"

Flaunting Life

There are many schools of thought, action and deeds when it comes to shaping and living your life. People have conservative/open, small/lavish, miserly/splurging lifestyles. They are happy to be living that way. Some dream of crossing lines to greener pastures, while others boast of being simple & conservative. But they fail to realise that by binding their life with stringent rules and restrictions in life, they are curbing freedom of their souls. If your life hasn't spanned across the various joys of this world, it actually remains fully lived.

By liberating soul and your life, I only mean that life has everything to offer: joys, dreams, fun, happiness, hope, achievements... the list goes on. But winding it across a pole of strict and restrained thoughts would only suffocate it.

This is where Mumbai, a city of hopes and dreams is something that has really inspired me. Everyone comes here with a dream, a desire. And it embraces them fully. This aspect is amiss across any other city of India. Of course other cities are more beautiful, but Mumbai is a reflection of how life can be, if only you have a hope, a desire, a dream, a longing and a will. And not to worry if you are not living here... all you need is to liberate yourself and scope your life towards all the goodness that life has to offer!!!

Everyone has a nice life, flaunt it... : )

Existing, Living and Being

What's the difference? I exist or live or be! Well...a vast one. Everyone exists on earth, few live and even fewer really are (Being). The difference lies in attitude to life. We take it for granted and think as if we are here forever. But there are few enlightened souls (in third category) who really know that this ain't forever, so make most of it till it lasts.

Think of this: our world confines to our immediate surroundings... we hardly ever think of the larger world existing on earth... we rarely wish to see the other colours of life across this earth. May be all that we do is to see yet another day without having a wish, without a desire, without a longing. By being full of desires, hopes and dreams, you'd start living, than just existing as an anonymous "yet another soul".

Add to these dreams, hopes and desires a thousand beliefs, convictions & passion... and what you have is an enlightened, wise, free soul who is not just existing or living... but Being. Choose your way of life and then may be you'd regret not being able to see how beautiful life is. But again, have no despair, for its never too late to Live Life.
