“It’s a funny thing about life, once you begin to take note of the things you are grateful for, you begin to lose sight of the things that you lack.”
-Germany Kent
We are sometimes happy and another time dreadful. The mixed anticipation drill for these two extreme ends are always present at every age. One of my friends said me at the age of 66 years that he felt like a young man. I was not surprised by his feeling because his metabolism and his positive thought process must have given him the feeling of delighted moods.
Our true existence is outside of time and space. Our inside self is always away from time and space. It does not have age.
I have journalised several truth about life as following,
1. Paradox of truth
I have passed through the various phases of life from sweetness and happiness at the one end to desperate poverty at other end. Few moments at different age I felt extremely sensitive and other times delighted. Both are part of life just like shadow and light.
2. Unplug And Reconnect
It is difficult to detach ourselves from outcome. But once you learn the beauty of unplugging and reconnecting, things will definitely be very easy to adjust. During one of the incidents, when I was scolded by senior who was continuously shouting, my junior asked me, “Sir, Aren’t you getting annoyed?”
I said him, “ I have dropped the receiver of my phone!”
If somebody is talking over telephone and if you have left the receiver at a side, is there any effect of ill treatment from other end? So love strongly and hate wisely.
3. Your Unique Way Of Peace Of Mind
Your lasting happiness lies within you. If you are disturbed or you require help for any type of peace from others, it will last soon. In the same way if somebody is unhappy, you may not always make them delighted repeatedly. External help is always sunny side of control.
4. You can not read with doctor’s spectacles
Everyone is broken or upset due to their own reasons. You can not compare your inside with outside of other people. Sometime you make things worse out of your experience. Your behaviour and thinking at the age of 42nd year may not have any relevance to the person with 22 years of age.
5. The food for one may be poison For another
You may be liking sweets but if you offer to certain animal it may give adverse effect. When you offer too much sweets to donkey, it is possible that donkey may die.
6. Your writing stuff
Every writer I know writes terrible first draft including myself. We do it just as a debt of honour. The stories come one day at a time, little by little. If you are exhausted with the matter, read good books or listen stories and write in your own words. Write your memories, visions, songs, your truths, your first version of things and bad experiences. Write why you were born, not only people but you will be surprised.
7. Publication
Your temporary successes may be permanent in nature after publications. In the process of writing or publishing if you have got best seller title, do not stop there, just recover yourself from that joy and start writing another title. The dogs whether old or new, if they do not bark, they are never loyal.
8. Families
No matter how cherished or astonishing, you may not be comfortable due to principle of paradox. Adjust your environment and find lonely hours if you think that you are in marathon race and not in sprint. Earth is forgiveness school. You can always forgive yourself during lonely hours and others at breakfast table. I think you can do it. Do it any way, you will be amazed after considerable gap of few days.
9. Food
Learn as early as possible about ‘food that harms and food that heals’ You can not ignore the fact that after few hours gap, it is always good to do better for your comforts. Because upset stomach means upset brain.
10. Grace
The movement of grace is what changes us, heals us and heals our world. To summon grace, say, “Help,” and then buckle up. Grace finds you exactly where you are, but it doesn’t leave you where it found you. And grace won’t look friendly Ghost, regrettably. But the phone will ring or the mail will come and then against all odds, you’ll get your sense of humour about yourself back. Laughter really is carbonated holiness. It helps us breathe again and again and gives us back to ourselves, and this gives us faith in life for each other.
11. Have faith in supernatural
It has been proven that happiest persons are those who learn from nature and worship. Recently there is new trend in doctors prescription. They prescribe two hours of social service and one hour of worshipping.
12. Death
It’s so hard to bear but it is fact that ultimately one has to die. You’ll never get over these losses. Some believe that it is major change of address and some believe that people live again fully, may be, in others’ heart. Whatever may be the period but if you live for others definitely you live in their hearts forever.
The people will make you laugh out loud at the most inconvenient times, and that’s the great good news. But their absence will also be a lifelong nightmare of homesickness for you. Grief and friends, time and tears will heal you to some extent. Tears will bathe and baptize and hydrate and moisturize you and the ground on which you walk.
Take off your shoes.” Because this is holy ground, all evidence to the contrary. It’s hard to believe, but it’s the truest thing. We realize that death is as sacred as birth. And don’t worry , get on with your life. Almost every single death is easy and gentle with the very best people surrounding you for as long as you need.
People are very frightened and feel really doomed these days, help people get their sense of humour about it and to realize how much isn’t a problem. If you take an action, take a really healthy or loving or friendly action, you’ll have loving and friendly feelings.
Take Away
1. If you don’t know where to start, remember that every single thing that happened to you is yours and you got to tell it.
2. You will never know the values of facts, until they become memory.
