This is the post excerpt.
Everything is changing-our habits, lifestyles, way of thinking and along with all these certain areas are darkening. But there’s always a Hope! Hope for a better world despite the darkness of hatred, discrimination, injustice and corruption overshadowing the world. One step each day , one good thing at a time and a “No”to selfishness is all we got to Do!
While we are so busy , running after people, chasing things, kissing success , getting over failure , getting into realtionships or maybe getting out of it. We are so surrounded by ourselves that the knock on the door by the Almighty goes unheard. While we are immersed into ourselves the only time we remember Him is when we are in trouble.
He has always been there ,standing infront of the door, knocking. All He wants is a sweet fellowship. Give your life to God today. Open the doors of your heart and let Him come in. I gurantee you that’s the best decision you will ever make.
I saw two kids fighting at school today. I don’t know who started it but the moment I caught them fighting, they froze. Both of them started blaming the other. “Ma’am he bet me first ” said the first child. “No ma’am, he pushed me first”, said the other. Since I didn’t have an eye witness I couldn’t decide who was guilty. I am not going to narrate any further because the whole incident made me think.
The kids are in 4th standard and before they learn to set their principles in life,they have learnt to ‘put the blame on others and shield themselves’. This tiny habit grows to define who we become. May it be our mistake or just bad situation we have learnt to blame it on anything else, but ourselves.
If we don’t excel at our work, blame the boss or the customer. If we are having a hard time, blame the fate. If anything goes wrong, blame it on him or her or on anyone else but me. “Keep me out of it!”
I wonder what keeps us from accepting our faults. Nobody is perfect, why pretend to be then. The more we pretend, the more truth will go away from us.
Be who you are and accept if you make a mistake. Blaming it on others doesn’t make you a spotless one, rather blindfolds you from reality.
Courage is what it takes to accept your fault and it doesn’t make you guilty forever. Rather it strengthens you to be who you are without a tinge of hypocrisy. Be courageous!
I see people running this race called ‘life’ and each one has his goals set upon.May it be power, money , fame or prestige -we are all running, desperately chasing to reach out goal post before they get a time out.https://chordsoflifeblog.wordpress.com/2017/11/01/time-up/
We all have our individual journey but we are all “blind runners.” We miss out important things like justice, love(not romantic love, love for fellow human being). “Who cares what’s happening to my competitor, I don’t like him anyways” -That’s our attitude. SELFISH, UNJUST & INHUMANE! That’s what we have become. All we care about is ourselves,our families,our relatives and friends. Beyond that is a slum area “unhygienic and dangerous to enter.” “Not forgetting wasting lots of my personal, precious time!”
‘Mind your own business’ a pharse so wronly used. There are situations where one should ‘meddle’ and give a helping hand. Maybe if humans had meddled on time we wouldn’t have to suffer natural consequences like global warming.
Root cause of all problems in the world is being selfish in the wrong situations and meddling in the wrong ones. If we are selfish about our problems not making others suffer and if we meddle (as in meddle to help) in the problems of others, we could save lives.
So think again…What are your goals? If it includes money, power, fame then I think you need to rewrite them down.
Don’t just think about you and your family! Think about the common good of everyone (including those whom you do not know). I dare you!
Life is busy. Oh man! Life is so busy specially when you are into regular job. Hardly do I get time for things I really like. Most of the time I am busy working and earning money which I hardly spend on myself. Feels so trapped at times. Confused , don’t know where life is taking me. Everything is for the better future I think! That’s what I am reminded constantly. Well, they say that when you are wise you think for the long term, but I wonder if all is for the future what about the present? Is it worth ?
What is life all about ??https://candlesonline.wordpress.com/2017/01/10/what-is-life-about/

How do you balance between something that you totally dislike doing but ain’t got any option?
Yes. Life does give us some of those! In this sweet sail called ‘life’ the boat shakes a lot of times increasing our fears and dimnishing our joy.Sometimes the oar isn’t in our hands and we have no option than to see it sail at the mercy of others.
Guess I have seen that happen couple of times and all I tell my self is “attitude adjustment”. But then something got me thinking today. What about people who don’t get a chance to sail their boats off the shore? They wait for an opportunity with their boats all their lives but the oar is at the mercy of others. They end up sailing all harsh and unhappy. What about them?
So I guess when the oar is at your hand do the best you can so that it doesn’t slip into the hands of others. And when it isn’t under your control seek it as a opportunity to be thankful and worry not it will come back to you .
HAPPY SAILING!!Time up….

Rolling the pages of my diary, here I am trying to get some answers.
Past week has been miserable as I received the death news of two of my closed ones. Both hailed from good families-ethics,principles and wealth had they in abundance. But time is what they ran short of;even though they had time according to rules of nature. Barely 50’s and nature called a ‘time out.’
I am 22 and I wonder how much time do I have left? How should I prepare myself and live so that I can die satisfactorily. I have noticed that power,prestige,popularity-nothing can stop or delay our death. It’s unavoidable and it’s powerful. What strikes me the most is that we often end up pursuing things that are not important and end our lives desiring for a second chance. Why live in a way that only ends in regrets?
Nothing is worse than chasing the wrong things in life, only to remorse later. Things that truly matter are love ,trust,honesty, being authentic and satisfied no matter what. I really think that these aspects add meaning and purpose to life.
We can’t change our predestined “time ups” but we sure can change things so that when our time is done we leave this world happily (without regrets) to a world better than this.
Lets fill this world with better things!
