FOOD FOR THOUGHT

IT'S HUMAN NATURE TO THINK AND DWELL IN PAST, THINK OF WHAT ONE COULD HAVE DONE AND HOW WOULD HAVE BEEN LIFE. BUT THE POINT IS NO MATTER HOW MUCH ONE DESIRES AND MAKES ATTEMPT TO LIVE BY STIMULATING PAST, ONE HAS NO POWER TO CHANGE PAST EVENTS AND MAKE BETTER FUTURE. ONE HAS TO FACE AND WORK ON CURRENT EVENTS TO HAVE BETTER FUTURE. ONE MUST LIVE BY USING HISTORICAL EXPERIENCES WISELY RATHER THAN REGRETTING PAST, IMAGINE FUTURE AND STIMULATE PRESENT. ONE MUST LIVE IN PRESENT HAPPILY TO BUILD BRIGHTER FUTURE, CONVERTING PAST EVENTS INTO ONE'S ADVANTAGE AND LIVING OUT OF TO FULLEST WITH IMAGINATION. WHAT ONE IMAGINES AND BELIEVES IS WHAT ONE GETS, IF ONE CONSTANTLY IMAGINES PAST (REMAINS IN PAST) THAN THERE ARE CHANCES THAT ONE MAY END UP REPEATING ONE'S OWN HISTORY, IF ONE CONSTANTLY IMAGINES BIGGER PURPOSES, STRIVES FOR IT AND REMAINS DETACHED FROM PAST, SKY IS THE LIMIT.

ONE HAS NO POWER TO CHANGE PAST OR PREDICT FUTURE. BY LIVING IN PAST OR FUTURE ONE SHATTERS SELF-CONFIDENCE, COMPROMISES PRESENT, UNABLE TO GIVE JUSTICE TO THE PRESENT TIME AND ULTIMATELY JEOPARDISES PRESENT. ONE MUST NOT REGRET PAST, IN FACT ONE MUST MOVE FORWARD AND CHERISH LESSONS LEARNED. ONE MUST NOT FEAR FUTURE AS IT MIGHT BECOME REALITY, IN FACT ONE MUST PLAN THE FUTURE AND BUILD IT TO REALITY. ONE MUST LIVE IN PRESENT BY KEEPING IN MIND LESSONS LEARNED FROM PAST AND TO BUILD BETTER FUTURE. PRESENT IS A BRIDGE BETWEEN PAST & FUTURE, ONE MUST DRIVE ON THIS BRIDGE HAPPILY BY ENJOYING EACH MOMENTS, THERE IS NO WAY BACK AND THERE IS NO SHORTCUT TO WAY AHEAD, ONE NEEDS TO MOVE FORWARD WITH PEACE OF MIND.

EXTRA MILE IN LITERAL SENSE MEANS TO STRETCH OURSELVES, TO DO MORE THAN ONE IS REQUIRED TO DO, TO OFFER MORE THAN WHAT IS PROMISED, IT CAN BE IN ANY FORM SERVICE, GOODS, GIFTS ETC. THERE ARE NO TRAFFIC JAMS AS EVERYONE LIKES TO RECEIVE SOMETHING EXTRA, ONE MUST ALSO LIKE TO DELIVER SOMETHING EXTRA. EXTRA MILE IS ALL ABOUT GIVING, GIVING WILLINGLY, GIVING WITHOUT EXPECTING ANYTHING IN RETURN GIVING SELFLESSLY, GIVING HAPPILY, GIVING WITH OPEN HEART AND TOUCHING OTHERS HEARTS.   NISWARTH IS THE BASE TO REACH OUT TO OTHERS, GOING EXTRA MILE, NISWARTH GIVING IS THE FOUNDATION OF KINDNESS, HUMILITY, LOVE AND COMPASSION TO SERVE THE HUMANITY.

BOTTOM LINE IS TO REMAIN HAPPY IN ANY GIVEN SITUATION AND NOT TO BE BOTHERED BY THE SURROUNDING SITUATIONS, WITH UPS & DOWNS, WITH SUMMER & WINTER OF LIFE. WHEN WE ARE HAPPY TIME FLIES, WE REMAIN WITHIN OURSELVES, WITHIN OUR WORLD, EXTERNAL CIRCUMSTANCES HAS NO ABILITY TO AFFECT US. HAPPINESS CREATES A CIRCLE OF BLISS MAKING POSITIVITY TO THRIVE BY CONTINUOUSLY KILLING ALL EXTERNAL NEGATIVITY.   WE LIVE IN AN ECSTASY, AN EUPHORIA, AN EXULTATION,  AN ENVIRONMENT OF HAPPINESS. HAPPINESS IS  PROGRESS, HAPPINESS IS WAY OF LIFE.

ONE HAS TO JUST KEEP SIMPLY SMILING AT ANY GIVEN SITUATION AND ALLOW IT TO PASS HAPPILY. THIS IS VERY SIMPLIFIED WAY OF LIFE BUT OUR MIND COMPLICATES IT BY SEARCHING HAPPINESS EXTERNALLY, FROM MATERIAL POSSESSIONS, SLOWLY CREATING SERIES OF DISSATISFACTION AND CONFUSION, HIDING THE UNDERLYING FACT THAT HAPPINESS CAN NOT BE BROUGHT FROM OUTSIDE OR CAN NOT BE STEALED FROM SOMEWHERE. ONE MUST SURRENDER TO ONESELF AND DIVE DEEP WITHIN, ONE MUST ACCEPT UNDERLYING FACTS OF LIFE AND MUST CHOOSE BLISS OF HAPPINESS.

FAILURE IS LEARNING TOWARDS SUCCESS, FAILURE IS AWARENESS TOWARDS ANOTHER WAY OR DIRECTION TO SUCCESS. FAILURES ARE SMALL WINS AND STEP WISE PROGRESS TOWARDS SUCCESS. IN OTHER WORDS SUCCESS IS SUMMATION OF ALL THE FAILURES OR SMALL WINS, RESULTING IN ENORMOUS ACHIEVEMENTS . SUCCESS & FAILURE GOES HAND IN HAND, WE LEARN, WE APPLY LEARNING, WE SMARTLY RE-LEARN, WE APPLY BETTER, AND SO ON. AT END WHEN WE CONSOLIDATE EVERYTHING, IRRESPECTIVE OF END RESULTS, ONE MUST REMAIN OPEN & NEUTRAL, ONE MUST ENJOY THIS PROCESS, ONE MUST LOVE EVERY ASPECT OF ONE'S INVOLVEMENT, ONE MUST REMAIN HAPPY. THESE ARE THE KEYS TO RECEIVE THE TRUE & PURE FRUITS OF ACTIVE FAILURES.

IN TODAY'S WORLD WHO ARE WE TO CERTIFY ANYONE AS DEMON. THERE WILL ALWAYS BE DIFFERENCE OF OPINION, ONE CAN NOT KEEP EVERYONE HAPPY & IT'S FOOLISH TO PLEASE EVERYONE. KEY IS ONE SHOULD AGREE TO DISAGREE !! ONE SHOULD NOT BE BOTHERED BY OTHERS REACTIONS, MUST NOT WAIT FOR SOMEONE'S APPROVAL ON ANY DAMN THING & ONE MUST REMAIN IN A LEARNING MODE. JUST SET OUR OWN STANDARDS AND LIVE BY IT (COH). NEVER EVER GIVE OTHERS CHANCE TO CHALLENGE IT. WE ARE ALL UNIQUE, SO IS OUR SOUL, SO IS OUR MIND, THOUGHTS, FEELINGS. THERE MUST NOT BE ANY SCOPE FOR ANY DAMN COMPARISON. NEVER KEEP OUR MIND IDEAL, ALWAYS ENGAGE IT WITH CREATIVITY,  DON'T ALLOW DEMON WITHIN US TO TAKE OVER OUR MIND. NEVER EVER ALLOW THIS DEMON TO IRRITATE OUR OWN SOUL.
