Words

Sometimes I wonder why we say some of the things we do. We say such dumb things sometimes and hurt in the process. Not only others but ourselves too. The same way, people hurt us with their words sometimes.

 

Words, the most powerful and dangerous weapons ever. They make wounds deeper than any sword or bullet. A sword may wound you, a bullet may kill you. But words, they linger painfully. Make you cringe every time. We cannot undo what is said, but words are so versatile. If we are full of regret and remorse, we have plenty of things that can be said to make it better. At the end of the day, what you really are at the core that matters. Did you mean to be nasty, or did the words come out wrong, or did they get misinterpreted. Whatever the case, if you are truly sorry, fix it.

 

No relationship is trivial. They are all too important. It takes so long to make a relationship what it is, so why let it go, just like that? Give every relationship its due. The world is not an easy place to live in, and the only reason we survive is because of our inter personal relationships with others. They are beautiful. They give us strength and joy. In fact, life would be nothing and we would not be who we are, if it weren’t for the people in our lives. Our relationships make us who we are. They give meaning to our life and existence. They define how we feel inside. Very rarely, yes, we do come across people, we have no desire of bring in touch with.

 

Get into this space inside you, which is full of gratitude and show it. Say it. Look beyond the foolishness and forgive and forget. Look beyond your self centeredness, also called ego. This is one disease we think we don’t have and everyone else is inflicted with it. Look in the mirror. Its lying to you. Look closely again.

 

We are born into this world with the freedom to be what and who we want to be, but that doesn’t mean we can trample people along the way. Look carefully inside and stop being all “I” and “me” all the time. Be in the moment and be aware of your self. Being more compassionate gives us freedom. Learn to accept people as they are despite the words said. Learn to control your own tongue, because  that’s the only one you can control. Becoming stronger to not let what people say affect you that the words linger on for hours and days is very essential. Allow others to be whatever they want to be and you allow yourself to be too.

Be Joy. Be Pure. Be Love. Be Happiness. Just Be.

 

Here and Now

 

 

It takes all kinds of people to make this world.  There are 3 kinds, giving a broad generalization.

 

 

 

The people who live in the past are the first kind. Thinking about all the things they could have done. Once they have some free space in hands, their thoughts meander towards the past. Every moment is filled with regrets. And this just drags them further into the depths of misery and self pity, without them realizing what its doing to them. It pulls them like an unseen force. They curse the choices they made – the wrong ones. These are labels given by them, right and wrong. The wrong ones are so because things didn’t go the way they wanted to or planned in life. Or because the people around them are not upto their standards. Or wrong, due to the unseen insecurity within themselves. Or wrong because they expect too much from everyone, every situation in life. There is nothing wrong with these people as such, its just when they are in the past, they have lost their past, yes, but now have lost their present too and don’t realize it. They are always feeling “ I would have been happy if………….”

 

The second kind are the ones who live in the future. They worry about the future all the time. Plan, yes. And frankly, isn’t that all that we can actually do? We can do our best to make the best happen but it isn’t something we can control. With mind focus and thought control, we can manifest a lot, but that still doesn’t let us control anything. Worrying certainly won’t do anything constructive for our future. As a matter of fact, it would only hamper the progress.  These people are always feeling “I will be happy when…………”

 

Next are the ones who got it right. They are the ones who live today. All of us are exactly where we are meant to be. The more accepting we are of this fact, the more joy we feel, more energetic, more happy. This is the only way to progress for us. I don’t say be happy all the time and things will be hunky dory, no. Just accept situations for what they are. Trying times et all. This takes us to inner peace, stability and strength. It empowers us to stand up each day and fight the mini wars we encounter. These people are happy. No ifs and buts.

 

Carpe Diem – Seize the day. Make each moment pleasurable. Don’t even make it happen. Let it happen. Let it go. Be effortlessly aware of now. When we let precious moments slip by, they are gone forever.

Be there for friends and family. You can only do that when you are fully present here and now. The energy of now is incomparable.

 

The first 2 kinds of people have lost their today for yesterday and tomorrow. Funnily enough, we are always checking the time. But, time is always NOW.  It would be nice to slow down and just savour the moment. This moment.
