Be a candle if not the Sun

Yesterday night I participated in a March against corruption

It was a silent march with candle light

Everyone in the crowd was inspired by a 'common cause'

What touched my heart was an answer from a Child

When someone asked him, "why are you here?"

He answered with smile...

"I will like to be a candle, If I am not able to be the Sun"

I have heard and read this sentence before also

But yesterday it was from an innocent kid...

Yes... 

This is very true...

In race of our life...

"Be a candle if it is difficult to be the Sun"

Never underestimate yourself and your capabilities...

Who knows you will also shine when there will be darkness around...

Because in darkness candle is more important...

Everyone has capacity to shine...

Don't forget to burn at 'right time' with 'right inspiration'...

Life is beautiful...

Live it and spread light around....

Yes you can do it :)

How to Have a Positive Attitude Towards Life

Yesterday it was a cloudy day
In the evening
When I came out of the office

I looked at sky
And I was watching at dark clouds
It was nice scene...

Clouds were trying to cover almost all the sky
By looking at those clouds
At one point

I felt these clouds will totally cover sky...
But air also was trying to push away those clouds
It started drizzling...
In some time
I was able to get glimpse of sky from gaps which air had created
Slowly slowly air took away most of the clouds...
And I experienced a very beautiful sunset...

Life is exactly similar to this
We found many problems like 'clouds'
By looking at those problems
At first we assume...
'Life is full of problems'
And it will become more and more difficult...
But sometimes we feel these all problems will pass
These some positive thoughts are like 'air'
Which push away our problems...
We get a glimpse of clear 'Sky' which we consider as freedom

While pushing away these problems
We go through good and bad experiences
Which is like getting wet into that 'Drizzling'...
When more air of positive thoughts blows
After some time clouds of problem go away
And we can see clear sky
Before sunset...

Life is really beautiful...
Just learn how to blow this air of positive thoughts
Come let us blow away all problems
Before Sun sets...

Every Moment is Another Chance in Life

Today I saw a boy cutting and collecting colorful pieces of paper,

I asked him about it...

He first looked at me,

Laughed at me,

And spoke...

"Don't you know, I am collecting this for making a collage"

I asked him, "when are you going to complete your collage..."

He said "I have no idea"

I further asked him, "then why are collecting these pictures now?"

He said, "If I do not collect these pictures now,

I will not find these pictures afterwards

and my collage will not look beautiful"

It is really true...

If we look at our life also...

It is collection of beautiful moments...

If we miss any moment in our life...

We lose something beautiful...

Which could have become memorable part of our life...

We keep on collecting something or the other...

So if we plan it now...

If we enjoy every moment...

Each moment will be memorable one...

Each moment we live, will be the best...

Have intentions of doing good things...

So you will always have many good moments with you...

Any time you will be ready...

No one can stop you...

From making your life beautiful...

Learning from Mistakes in Life

When some mistake happens from you...

Do you feel very sad about it...?

Do you keep on finding reasons behind mistake...?

Do you try to support mistake with many strong proofs...?

I also used to follow the same practice before...

But when I realized...

By following this practice...

I am making bigger mistake...

I am becoming expert in giving reasons for each mistake...

Now... 

Whenever I come to know mistake has happened...

First I laugh at myself...

Then I say to myself...

"Don't worry... 

You can fix the problem...

Now find out the solution and not the supporting reason..."

With more attentive mind I rework...

and once the problem is fixed...

Again I say to myself...

"Yes... See you have done it..."

And analyse what am I learning from mistake...

Now...

I am more alert...

And catch the mistakes I make...

I am learning to make new mistakes...

Learning from mistake you make...

Life is beautiful...

Make some more new mistakes...

All questions in life don't have answers

There is always a question in my mind...

Whether every question in our life has an answer?...

And answer is NO...

We keep on finding answers to many 'so called serious' questions...

Like...

Why I am not rich?

Why I am not famous?

Why I am not happy?

Why I don't have everything that I want?

Why is this happening with me only?

And suppose...

On a fine morning...

If we come to know answers to all these question... 

Will our life have a meaning?

We are here to search answers to all these questions...

Sometimes we find correct answers...

Sometimes wrong...

But the truth is the answer we find...

Rarely matches with others...

And there lies Beauty of our Life...

There is fun in finding a perfect answer...

When you find answer to one question...

Next questions is ready for you...

So we run to find answer to that question...

So don't worry next time...

If you don't have answer to a question...

Know that there is No answer this question...

And that is why NOW you have to find a good answer...

And be prepared to answer these questions...

In your life...

Life is Beautiful...

Just know this truth...

If you don't know the answer to question How life is Beautiful?...

?

?

Start searching answer...NOW

Life is like a Train

"Enjoy the world without getting attached to it..." ~ Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar

This might sound something strange but it's true...

We always want to be happy...

We try each and every possible way to become happy...

In this process, unknowingly we get attached to certain things...

and at the end we are not happy...

For example...

We go for a trip...

We are very happy when we go, visit nice places...

But while returning back....

We feel we missed something... 

We left something behind...

and after some time our happiness is in trouble...

Our thoughts have a tendency to stick to things that we loved...

Thoughts always pulls you back to past...

and bring our present happiness in trouble...

Know this truth and decide...

I am the joy... I am happiest person...

and forget the past... 

Don't get attached to things that we missed...

Like a train our life is made for running...

Different stations come and go...

Train stops at a stop for some time and then continues journey...

Live life like this...

Take necessary things from each station...

and keep on moving.... 

Life is beautiful...

Never get attached to the past...

Power of One

"Give laugh to all but smile to one...

Give love to all but heart to one...

Give life to all but live for one..."

This is an SMS I received today from one of my friend...

It made me think in a different way...

Yes... Definitely there is power in One...

One is the first count that we learn in our life...

One Sun, One moon, One earth...

One Life, One chance, One identity...

Everything revolves around One...

Everybody likes to be number one...

'One target' gives you focus to achieve it...

Change also starts with one...

One person, One thought, One idea...

Can changes the world...

SO THINK YOU ARE ALSO ONE...

Why not show the world power of One???

Changes make Life Beautiful

Change is really a very interesting process..

When we take decision of any change...

It starts with a lot of hopes, expectations...

It targets at bringing difference in life...

It is an ongoing process...

At the first when we think about change...

We refuse or say no to change...

Because we are used to the existing system...

And we don't want to shift to new...

It may be because it bring unlearning and learning...

Or because of our laziness...

Then we start thinking about the end results...

We take advice from many people...

We check each possibility of success and failure...

Final we convince ourselves...

That change is good...

Then change starts...

Old systems go into scrap or modified...

We come to know the drawbacks of old system...

And finally we are prepared to accept change...

All these thoughts touched my mind....

While I was changing template for the blog...

It is nice to have a change...

I wanted change but it took time to convince myself...

Same is applicable to all around us...

We want to bring a change...

But most important thing is change with least injuries...

Convince about the change...

Change is always for good...

"Life is beautiful" learn to accept necessary changes...

and Enjoy the change...

Power of Now

Want to say thank you to someone....

Want to be grateful to someone...

Want to be helpful to someone...

Don't postpone....

Go... Go... and Do it now...

Don't postpone...

Thoughts will convince that...

You were wrong...

But If you could have acted...

You could have become strong...

Thinking process took over you...

Struggles & Comforts make Beautiful Life

One of my friend and I saw a movie. 

In that movie hero was struggling all the time. He was facing so many troubles. 
At one point of time my friend got so angry. He said "How can anyone live like this? Why are there so many troubles, pains and struggles in hero's life?" Life should be smooth. Everything should be easily available. All pleasures should be available then Life is beautiful.


I Laughed at his innocent question. 

I said him "come let us a make a superb movie. 
No struggles for hero, He will have every comfort available in this world. 

Big bungalows, cars, servants, beautiful wife and what not....
Everyday he gets up late in the morning. 
Servants serve him everything. 

Then he takes out big car, no traffic signals all roads are open for him. He goes to nice beaches, in big hotels and no one disturbs him. 

Then he goes on world tour visits all places. Wherever he goes no one comes to disturb him. 
He enjoys different food, music, parties. 

He comes back sleeps on cozy bed made of flowers. 
Every day in life is like this only. 

I asked my friend, "How is the story?"

He shouted at me and said, "Who the fool will come to see this movie... How can one live life like this?"

But suddenly he realized life is neither comfort all the time nor the struggle...

Life is contradictory. To make life beautiful not only comforts but struggles are also required...
So by realizing this truth make Your Life beautiful...

Life is a Painting...

Life offers us many colours of experiences and brushes of thoughts...

We select any of the colours and brushes to draw a picture...
That is your journey of life....

But, then also, if we choose a certain colour
and spread that colour everywhere
Finally we get single coloured sheet....

Mono colour without any shade....

Some times we are eager to use every colour that is coming in front
We make life colourful... But the colours are mixed
This picture looks very beautiful for short period....

Sometimes we use all colours, but with a control
This gives us a beautiful picture
We become happy when we see that picture in future....

But if we choose the correct colours and the correct theme in mind,
Then the picture we draw is 'the best'

"So let us use correct colours, correct themes,

and 'controlled hands of thoughts' to make picture more beautiful... "

Waiting.....

Wait for 'The Best' opportunity in your life. Always be aware it may come anytime...

Don't be idle....

Make strategies, build your strengths, develop yourself
While waiting....

And
On a nice morning you will find 'The Best'...

The Goal you were waiting will be in front of you.....

Yesssss........ Now 'Jump in' with full enthusiasm & energy.....

Don't wait now.....

The success is yours.....

Blow away Bubbles of ego to make Life Beautiful

"Today I saw few kids playing with bubbles. Blowing & running to catch the bubbles.
It was nice to see them playing.
I also wanted to catch some bubbles.
But there was something that stopped me.
What was that? My ego.
I have grown up now. How can I run behind bubbles??

After realizing this,
I jumped like a kid & enjoyed catching the bubbles.

I burst the bubble of ego & happiness was mine

So next time don't miss any chance to blow bubbles

Run, catch them. Burst the bubble of ego
Life is yours, choice is yours

Feel that lightness in a bubble.

"Life is beautiful

Just find happiness in each small small moments"

Path to Destination...

Life is a mystery.
We sometimes don't find the path.
We always think where is my destination?

Yes and on one fine morning you find your goal.
Your inner voice shows you the way.

You take the first step towards our destination.
This path may not be smooth always
There may be struggles, hurdles

But when you keep on walking this path becomes more and more beautiful

But wherever you go,

Don't forget to spread flowers of your goodness
for the new passerby who will walk on that path

Beauty.....

From last two days I was thinking 'What is Beauty?'

I was thinking, thinking & thinking... Finally, today when I was looking at a flower it smiled.

Suddenly, my heart said ''Wow! what a flower!"

And a thought came, Yes! that is beauty.

We cannot express it in words but our heart feels it, admires it.

It is the own creation and the gift from nature to you.

'Outer beauty' which we see the beauty around you, respect & admire it.

but, 'Outer beauty' sometimes may mislead you.

'Inner beauty' can be felt by a heart. Just feel it.

'Inner beauty' needs no expression. Anyone can feel it.

"So to be a beautiful person, no need to look beautiful from outside,
Let the beauty spring from your heart."

Be a lighthouse...

In dark nights, lighthouse is the only hope for every sailor.
A lighthouse spreads light that cheers sailors.

It is a structure created by human beings but beautified by nature

It is Beautiful from any angle.

"Stand like a Lighthouse in life when there is a storm.
Develop confidence in all others who look at you."

"You can become a lighthouse
Stand on firm foundation of Values, Truth, Love, Respect for all"

Life is a Dream

Dream what is the best you expect from your life.....

Think about a thing you want but is not clear to you, you can not express that in words

You are the King of your life, so plan your world

Dream a house no one has built ever, no one built henceforth and no one owes

Dreaming big is not a crime. So why should we constrain our dreams????

So come on.... from now onwards keep on dreaming bigger and bigger
