Unspoken Unknown Heroes

People, circumstances, objects tend to leave some remarkable impact on our lives and to our surprise without us realising it. These are the people who are an important part of our life yet they are always behind the curtains. I am currently reading this book called 'The Magic' by Rhonda Byrne and she suggests to pen down three people who really impacted our lives and played an important role to make us who we are today. Initially i felt that this is very simple as i know hundreds of people who can fall in this list. After couple of seconds of  more thought, it got tough. It was tough because, all these people who i thought changed my life only gave me experiences but was it really life changing one? Did they change my perspective completely? May be not. After a bit of more thinking, i finally got two names and they seemed to be lot more real and apt for the question. They are truly my heroes, unaware of the magic they have spread in my life and who made me a much better person that i am today. The only way to give my gratitude to them is to continue being a better human being and just be truly honest to the real ME. 

There were times when i was also part of the madening rat race like millions out there diluting the very essence of self, but not after i meet my heroes.

Surprisingly, it is the same setup of my world - same room where i get up in the morning, get ready for work, take the same train, meet the same colleagues at work, do the same job monday to friday, come back home and have the same kind of food yet things changed 360 degrees. Now there is satisfaction, completeness and harmony. 

The philosophy that works for me is to 'seize the moment' and 'be happy' always, pearls of wisdom from my heroes...

I was receptive to this thought because somehwere inside me i already knew that this is true but may be i just needed someone to really make me realise this.These Heroes just happened to my life and that is the most exciting part. They were unplanned, uncalled and unknown beings who came and left me some amazing experiences to cherrish.

Which ever part of the world they are, i only wish that they keep inspiring many more people like me and spread joy.  

---> Do find your unspoken, unknown heroes. You will be surprised for sure!

Cheers to these heroes!

Big happiness comes in small packaging...

It is said that biggest of joys comes from smallest of package. I do agree to this thought because these smaller joys really fill our day. When I go in the morning to meet my friends  (in the form of birds), there is an instant positive energy that revolve around me. I do not understand their language but their gestures do make me happy, which is serenely magical and hard to explain in words. They start spreading their wings out of joy which is truly satisfying and breathtaking one. It is just meant to be experienced to be felt.

Simpler joys come with no asterisk; neither it require any intellectual understanding to experience them nor it requires any efforts to have them in our lives. It is all around us. For e.g. when a kid cries, all we need is a small candy to make him laugh again. When we are sad, all we need is our mother's lap and rest all our worries behind. When we see our old parents, all they need is few moments of our attention. When we see our beloved, all they need is a tight hug and a smile. Our friends, who just need a pat on the back and some silly jokes to crack and laugh at. All looks so easy and lot more easier when done.

Our routine makes us so busy that we tend to miss some of the fantastic creations of life. Like early sunrise, walking through the morning breeze, few moments of togetherness, moments of silence, watching the sunset in its full glory, gazing the shinny moon passing through those silvery clouds, admiring the shimmering stars and waiting for one to fall in a hope that our wishes will be granted, sound of ocean waves fighting with each other, when our family sleeps peacefully at night ...watching them from a distance. 

At this moment, it seems that life is folding all its wings together and embracing the love around us. These are joys that money can’t buy, yet they are immensely priceless and their value is not recognized by all.

I wish that no matter what heights I reach in life, may I always be bestowed with these ‘simply priceless’ possessions of life.

Wishing all a very happy new week.

Cheers,

'Courage' is not the absence of 'Fear', but a decision that something else is more important than 'Fear'

'Courage' is not the absence of 'Fear', but a decision that something else is more important than 'Fear'. This is my all time favourite inspirational line. Whenever my mind dwells into tons of thoughts and take me into a journey of present vs. future, I tend to repeat this in my mind. It always brings me back to the most conscious state where I try to make the sense out of the most. Things that we want as human beings, sometimes materialistic, sometimes at spiritual level, we all do fear of failure. I may be lying if I say that I do not fear of failures. I do, but then the moment of truth comes into play when one needs to make the choice. Whether I should go with the flow of events happening or whether I will make the most sensible decision even in such trying times and keep my faith & hope alive for the best.

 

I may admit that it is certainly a tough situation to be in and more often than not, many people just go with the flow, feeling all helpless. But again, they have simply made that choice to remain helpless.  When things go out of control, the most alert of minds, the most intelligent of souls do shake up, but the difference between them and the ones who choose to remain without hope is that the alert minds regain their senses as quickly as possible. This is what it is called to 'coming to terms with life' and then making our choice and doing our own bit. The challenge in reality is not to fail or succeed, but the actual challenge is to pass that phase of 'being fearful' and yet not giving up. I am already a winner when I choose to not give up and yet keep trying without any fear of failure. At least, at the end of journey, I will be completely satisfied that I tried and gave my best shot irrespective of the outcome. Sometimes it is just wise to ignore the fear for the moment and choose to have faith. It worked, it works and it will always work.

 

Have faith!

What a coincidence!

Life unfolds every second and with it unfolds the very surprise that is exclusive for each individual. Some good, some not so good surprises. Yet I feel that within all these surprises, there does lie a big master plan which is unique and exclusive for us. Underneath this master plan, revolves all the people - friends or foe or strangers, all circumstances, all events - good or bad. All we are left to do is uncover this surprise package and deal with them with our knowledge and attitude. Hence, I take this liberty to say that anything that we may feel is a 'mere coincidence' does not hold true. It is all part of the same story. Only factor that changes is the duration of its existence within our story line and their impact on our lives. For e.g. meeting a person unexpectedly, falling trap to a situation without any correlation whatsoever or any other situation within or not our control. I meet my best friend 15 years back in a open house (for admission in a school) standing right next to me, without I realizing that we will both end up in the same school. It does not end there, we ended up meeting in a book shop at the same time after school admission, land up to the same hostel and assigned the same room. The story of 'coincidences' goes on and on.  And today we share and cherish our 15 years of blissful friendship.

 

Whether any people or incident presently in your life makes sense now or not, the very fact that you have experienced them does mean something. May be life is just giving us signs at every stage what is coming next to us before it comes full circle. And it holds true for everyone...

 

Keep smiling and uncovering the surprises.

Power of Prayer

We are always taught by our society since our childhood that praying is good.. god gets pleased to those who prays daily. but that definition keeps changing with the passing day.. The more we struggle in our daily course of life, the more we fear to handle any situation and that leads us to beg the super power to come and solve our problems. What I have always noticed so far and infact was one of the victims to the ideology that "please god to get what you want". But my definition changed completely off late.. The more I feared with my current circumstances, the more I became desperate to run away from these situation. May be in the balancing act of Fear Vs. Faith, fear always leaded because I made fear win over faith.

Prayer in my point of view is nothing but settling that cyclone of doubts, fear, disappointment and turn them into faith, courage and hope for better future. Its all about consolidating the feelings within and coming to terms with the inner self. Recently I read some amazing books like The Secret, The Power (Still reading :) ) and The Holy Geeta (finished first chapter). All of these excellent books said more or less the same thing, "its all about how you feel".. Nothing is impossible if your inner conscious self is in agreement to what you want.. The super power is nothing but the super force of faith, passion and positive energy within oneself. I have reasons to believe this because the more I introspect within myself on this concept, the more I feel that how true it is for me. I can relate to the very concept of "God is inside us" because all my life I have only believed that I don't need to go to temple every Tuesdays to show my gratitude to my god. All I need to do is meet with the force within me, face my fears if any with my conscious mind, consolidate my fears and encourage 'faith' to over rule all my fears.. This gives me the ultimate peace within and I get all my answers...

Best is already there. All it needs is an eye to see what you have always dreamt of...
