Seize The Moment

 

Seize the moment…yes no matter how cliche it may sound, but this is the ultimate solution for all the adversities!

Chanakya very rightly said

“We should not fret for what is past.
  Nor should we be anxious about the future;
  Men of discernment deal only with the present moment!”

      Often we keep thinking about future, getting anxious about the possibilities, fearing the outcomes, but what we lose in it is our wonderful present. And then we keep brooding over past, should have done this…should have said that…this would have been better…Oh! I didn’t realize…I must have acted that way and so on… But there is no one to blame but us. We are either busy brooding over past or calculating our future, when our beautiful present, which is with us…to be enjoyed and embraced..is just lost! Our “PRESENT” is lost with us not realizing what we actually had, what we should have treasured. And again begins the vicious cycle of regretting…

     Success lies in just seizing the moment. No matter how much we think over…life is going to surprise you. You would never know what’s in store in future. But what we know and have is our present. It’s indeed a PRESENT…a gift god has provided you! Seize the moment, rejoice and appreciate what is presented to you.  When we live our today to the fullest, we regret nothing. I read somewhere,

“Har pal me pyaar…Har lamhe me khushi hai..
  Kho do to yaadein…jee lo zindagi hai….
  Ye mat soch zindagi me kitne pal hai…
  Ye dekh ki har pal me kitni zindagi hai!”

Honour the journey…more than the destination…


Honour the journey…more than the destination…
We all have our dreams, wishes, goals, aims… One day I want to be this, one day I want to achieve that, someday I want to go there and so on, we keep repeating this to ourselves, our family, friends. And we work towards that also… we work hard, we struggle to keep the pace going, we push ourselves even if that requires sacrificing other things.
Sometimes that throws our life haywire…but we keep going. That’s great determination I would say, but what we lose in this chaos is the essence of the journey.

              The beautiful and wonderful journey that we go through in reaching the destination is long lost in the desire for the destination. Dedication to achieve our dream is very important but much more vital than that is our experience of the journey. The ups and downs, the highs and lows you go through in the journey teach you much more than the achievement. You may not always succeed in your life…but your journey will never fail you. It will embrace and impart you the most worthwhile lessons of life! Your achievement might not always stay with you, but your journey will. Live in the moment and embrace your journey. Have realization of how it all began, how it has shaped you, what it has taught you. Value your journey and know the worth of today.
Get on the train baby and Honour the fantastic experience of the journey!

My friend is around the corner......................

Around the corner....I have a friend in this city...
In this city that has no end...

The days go by... and weeks rush on...
and before I know it....a year has gone....

And I never see my old friend's face,
for life is a terrible race....

Tomorrow I say...I will call you my friend...
Just to tell you that I have been thinking of you...

But tomorrow comes and goes...
and the distance between me and my friend grows and grows....

Around the corner, yet miles away, here's a telegram..."....passed away.." 
And that's what we deserve and get in the end,
Around the corner....a vanished friend!
                                                                                                                  -Unknown author

Reach out to your friends now...therez no better time than today to call...
Tell them what they mean to you...how much you love them....
Express it today...let them know how you feel...before its too late!

GOD IS IN LOVE WITH YOU....

Ever considered that God has fallen in love with you??
 
He sends you flowers every spring,
He send you sunshine every morning...
 
Whenever you want to talk, he listens to you...
He can live anywhere in the universe, but he choses you...your heart!
 
God doesn't promise days without pain,
laughter without sorrow,
sun without rain....
 
But he did promise strength for the day,
comfort for the tears and light for the way!!
 
GOD has indeed fallen in love with you!!
Let GOD know you love him too...just by falling in love with your life!
