FOOD FOR THOUGHT

LIVING LIFE FOR OTHERS GIVES HIGHEST FORM OF INNER SATISFACTION, MENTAL PEACE AND SPIRITUAL UPLIFTMENT. THE MORE WE DEDICATE OUR LIFE TO HELP PEOPLE THE MORE WE SIMPLIFY OURSELVES, GIVING LARGER MEANING & PURPOSE TO LIFE. ONE THINKS BEYOND SELF-NEEDS AND TRANSITS FROM SELF-CENTERED TO SELF-LESS WAY OF LIFE, THERE ARE NO SECOND THOUGHTS, THERE ARE NO IFS AND BUTS, THERE ARE NO QUESTIONS. THIS WAY OF LIFE BRINGS TRUE JOY, HAPPINESS, BLISS, BLESSINGS, LOVE, GRACE, BREAKING ALL BARRIERS AND ALL VICIOUS CIRCLES OF LIFE, GIVING DIRECTION TO ONE'S SOUL JOURNEY AND INSPIRING OTHERS TO FOLLOW THE PATH. ONE RECEIVES EVERYTHING IN LIFE, AND THE FACT REMAINS THAT IN THIS STATE,  GIVING IS EVERYTHING.

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.

IN RAT RACE WE RUN AFTER POSSESSIONS ONE AFTER THE ANOTHER.  OUR EGO ALWAYS PUSHES US TO AMASS MATERIALS TO SEEK PEACE OUT OF THE SAME. HONESTLY THIS PEACE IS TEMPORARY AND CREATES RESTLESSNESS TO POSSESS SOMETHING SUPERIOR IN SEARCH OF PEACE. WE BECOME PART OF VICIOUS CIRCLE. ON THE CONTRARY, SPIRITUAL PATH MAKES US TO DIVE DEEP WITHIN TO SEEK  PEACE & HAPPINESS , OUR SPIRIT IS DRIVING US TOWARDS INNER SELF WHILE OUR EGO IS DRIVING US TOWARDS EXTERNAL WORLD. THE TRUTH IS EXTERNAL WORLD CAN NEVER BRING PEACE WITHIN, ON SPIRITUAL PATH WHEN WE DISCOVER PEACE WITHIN, UNIVERSE TAKES CARE OF THE EXTERNAL WORLD & EVERYTHING FALLS INTO RIGHT PLACE.  

WHAT ONE BELIEVES ABOUT ONESELF IS ONE'S REALITY. OUR BELIEF SYSTEM DEFINES OUR LIFE PATH. TO DO RIGHT THINGS AND TO ADD MAGIC & STARS IN LIFE PATH (STORY), ONE MUST WORK ON ONE'S BELIEFS STRATEGICALLY. ONE  MUST NURTURE IT WITH LOVE , WARMTH , PASSION , PEACE , COMPASSION , HUMILITY , HUMANITY , SPIRITUALITY , NEUTRALITY , RESPONSIBILITY , HONESTY , ENTHUSIASM , JUSTICE , NEETI , DHARMA , COURAGE , TRUST , ADVENTURE , RENUNCIATION , HARMONY , WHOLENESS , FOCUS , POWER , ABUNDANCE . IT'S A CONTINUOUS PROCESS TO WRITE, RE-WRITE, IMBIBE & REPLENISH BELIEFS WITH THESE SETS OF VALUES.

ONE MUST NOT GET ENTANGLE EMOTIONALLY TO EVERYTHING EVERY-TIME. ONE MAY HAVE TO BECOME PRACTICAL FOR PEACE OF MIND. DON'T LET OUR THOUGHT AND PEOPLE OVER POWER US. SOMETIMES BEST SOLUTION IS TO LET GO OF THINGS & DON'T ALLOW EGO TO PLAY AROUND. EMOTIONS ARE INHERENT TO HUMAN ATTRIBUTE AND THEY SHOW UP NATURALLY. IT IS OF UTMOST IMPORTANCE THAT WHERE AND WHEN DO WE ALLOW IT TO SHOW UP OUTSIDE. ONE HAS TO PRACTICE TO CHANNELISE EMOTIONS, CONVERT & UTILISE IT IN OTHER AREA OR FORM. SMARTNESS IS NOT IN REACTING EMOTIONALLY BUT IN REFRAINING, LOGICALLY ANALYSING, AND THEN DOING RIGHT THINGS.

WORRYING IS LIKE A ROCKING CHAIR. IT WILL GIVE YOU SOMETHING TO DO, BUT IT WON'T GET YOU ANYWHERE. WORRYING WON'T CHANGE THE END RESULTS. IT'S ALWAYS BETTER TO DO AND GIVE OUR BEST AND MOVE ON THE NEXT WITHOUT WORRYING ABOUT RESULTS OR SITUATION. THIS IS KEY FOR MENTAL PEACE AND ALLOWS US TO FOCUS, TO BE PRODUCTIVE, TO BE EFFICIENT AND TO BE EFFECTIVE.

OUR OUTER WORLD IS REFLECTION OF OUR INNER WORLD. INNER STABILITY & BALANCE IS THE MOST IMPORTANT FACTOR WHICH IS GOVERNED BY OUR THOUGHTS & FEELINGS. THE ONLY WAY TO CONTROL AND TO GENERATE ENERGETIC, PEACEFUL & HEALTHY THOUGHTS IS BY CLEANSING OUR BELIEFS AND ALLOWING IT TO REMAIN IN POSITIVE STATE ALL THE TIME !!
