Friends we just have two eyes, and both cannot look in two different directions at the same time. IF you are looking back at your life all the time, it clearly means you are not looking ahead.
What further justification is required to address the issue in your life, if you are not moving ahead, it is likely you are not looking in that direction. The whole irony of life is - "No matter in which direction you look, LIFE MOVES AHEAD!"
So my dear readers, through this short blog - I want to urge you all to think ahead, plan your future, foray into the unkonwn and yet to be fathomed depths of your life. You Glory & a mind blowing story lie ahead of you.
Dear readers, MOVE ON!
Don't cling on to the same broken log of wood forever! Evergreen forests are waiting for you...!!!
Discover the beauty that lies ahead of you, rather invent it!
Program yourself:
{life}
for (i=birth)
Repeat
{
Look ahead!
}
until(i=death)
{life}
If this one pricked you, you know the answer. You have been hanging on to your past, and blaming all for your pain. Time to catch hold of your senses and tune them to look ahead only!
If it didnt, Share it on your wall, let it prick the ones whom it needs to. For, Life is ahead in future. Whats done is past. It's DONE!
Carry the good from your past & the lessons & MOVE ON!!!

"Pain is Permanent". (It just changes from one form to another)
We are all in search of lives where we are looking forward to live life, that can be without pain & full of pleasure.
We are all in continuous efforts, to reduce pain and at number of occasions, even blaming god for the kind of painful lives he has given to us. Man is an animal who passes justifications of his convenience and hence finds himself in misery all the time.
If only, we stopped justifying out of convenience and started accepting few things as given truths and that we have to live them, by chance & with no choice, we would be more happier. After all, thats the ultimate goal of life. (ultimate is higher above, but for our earthly existence, happiness is peaks of glorious life.)
We blame situations, circumstances and people for our painful situations of life, for the pain we need to go through. But we seldom realise what is that pain all about?
The pain we exclaim and crib about, is nothing but, a certain set of expectations gathered during the journey of life, from the surrounding we groomed ourselves in, from the people around us, whom we relentlessly, without choice observed making choices, and hence took an emoitional growth of our own.
Felt pain, for what pain meant to them, felt joy for what meant joy to them. As we grew, we thought we were gathering our own wisdom, and learning to build our own value system of pain, pleasure and happiness (PPH).
But eventually the viscious circle didnt leave us there. Seldom were we found not caught in the PPH arena of emotions.
Pain is totally subjective. A situation of pain to someone, is a situation of joy or challenge for someone else.
I urge my readers to introspect about things that are causing you pain, list them down and do the following:
1. Ignore some, which are irrelevant.
2. Accept few which cannot be changed.
3. Take action for which immediate rectification is possible.
4. Cut expectations and set a belief system.
(for more differences on belief and expectation read my blog: A very thin line between Expectation & Belief.)
5. Stop focussing on the word pain. Believe - it's all the plan of god.
6. Last but not the least: "PATIENCE & FAITH".
(expecting to solve all your problems and be sure of applying the above written things in one shot or after one reading is yet another pain)
"Hope to see you free of pain in life". Be allergic to this statement, for this is false. None is free of pain. It's just that you apply the above six things and convert pain into gain and happiness. Pain is permanent. It just changes form, either changes to pleasure with perception or converts itself into another form of pain.
So, my dear readers, God bless you all with the strength & wisdom to deal with your pain in the right manner.

The "Done List" counts!
It's a common sight, that people are busy thinking, planning & imagining. But my dear friends, at the end of the day, what really counts is how much has been done, not how much was thought over.
When we leave this planet earth and meet the almighty (if this is true) the things that we would be rewarded for, are not how well & how much we thought or how well & how much we imagined. We would rather be awarded for how well and how much we did.
It's yet another common occurence, that we hear people speak words/phrases like: "I also thought the same", "In fact, I had the same idea.","I was just going to do that.", "I had almost thought the same thing","I had a better plan"... All in vain. One who does, DOES IT & DESERVES IT!
Thinkers are blinkers. They are confused thats why they do not take steps further. It's true that thinking and planning is the foundation for any action. But, remember the objective of the foundation is to hold the building, not exist for/by itself. ~ Sujit Lalwani
So my dear readers, I am aware that your mind is a storehouse of thoughts/ideas/imaginations. Put the resource in place, work out your plan and make a start. Run time issues, requirements & problems can be understood, corrected and solved only if you start running.
First idea, second idea, third one - all in a row can be utter failures and you might be told and made to feel that you aint capable. Rememeber the fourth one could be the breakthrough you were looking for and majority of the times, that is the case. So let today be the day when you start. In fact, RIGHT NOW!
GET, SET... GO!!!
PS: Drop in your idea/plan/plan of action in the comments column. If am of help, I shall surely do the needful.

Once In A While!
Once in a while. I come to blogger to find myself, out of topics to write, I ponder, I think, I wonder, I introspect, But I find nothing that hits my head hard, that I can blog about. I decide, I can be different once in a while. I can write anything that comes to my mind. I can just pour my words down here, to let my readers, I am feeling that am out of topics for today.
Just then it strikes my mind, this itself is a worthy topic I can write about. This itself has vastness that eyes, not so normal, can gauge. I commence with an abruptly initiated thought and as i proceed, I am surprised at myself, to find myself having perfectly aligned thoughts - aligned so well - that I know I can write an entire chapter for a book.
Just then, I conclude, that It's always just a start that you need. No matter, how abrupt you begin, how under prepared you are, how less skilled/talented you are. Just begin.
Just begin, With a determination to make it to perfection, to achieve an end goal on mind, to do something that lasts after you. You will see you would have forgotten where & how you started and find yourself in a list of perfectionists before late. I have just started my life, with an abrupt state of success and with arbitrary beginning and ideas.
I am very sure, the time is'nt too far, when my ideas, visions and goals will be perfectly aligned and I will count myself in the list of perfectionists and achievers! It is an abrupt beginning, but what counts is where I take it before I meet the end. I am glad I HAVE STARTED!
As a great leader once said: "It all started small, including the Universe!"
Another leader happened to quote - "The First step to making it big, is to start dreaming! The second is to start doing! The third is to shout: "I HAVE DONE IT" Because you would have!"
Fact is: "If it can manifest on your mind, it can in reality" ~ Sujit Lalwani

YOU decide the TITLE!
It has been quite sometime since I brought myself to this page, to write down something that will express what I think & feel and eventually help my readers gain some insight into principles of life & install a few extra feathers into the wings of wisdom...
May be what caused the delay itself was the cause for upgradation of software on my head, to be able to bring something totally deep & fresh. The wisdom this post brings along friends might be something you may not expect from an inspirational blog like mine, but I believe a true inspirational article is one that prepares you for hard times than just give you faith over winning the easy ones.
This blog is an output of the most challenging & demanding time of my life, on the personal & professional front, & I triumphed over it. Success is not just the story you tell on the professional front. Unless your personal side of the story is filled with love, care, friends & family, the success seems to be hollow & loneliness seems to follow. The biography might sound exciting, thrilling & inspirational to read, but autobiography showing the reality of your feelings will include a chapter, not just a page, to tell a tale how lonely the man was when he reached the top.
Hence it is essential to strike the balance in life on the personal & professional front. You need a friend who comforts you, that family which supports you like a floor, pillar, walls, ceiling & a wing (as per your requirement), that special someone of your life - your spouse or yet to be, those colleagues who just love to work with you and your mentors who would love to guide you looking at your commitment levels. You NEED all of them. It is quite important to build attitudes and time schedules which can cater to them all. Majority cannot prioritise and hence their stories impact a smaller part of the world. People who fight hard to strike this balance, fail miserably a number of times, but eventually when they come out glorious have life stories which can lead generations to come.
But amidst all these efforts of yours, trying hard to strike balance between love for work, love for family, friends, hobbies, passions & other things, there are phases which can cruel, hard, devastating & very unexpected, which set things off track for you in one shot.
Imagine changing the orbit of the earth in a blink of the eye, it would simply mean different calendar, different schedules for day & night, different types of weather cycles, climatic conditions etc. May be all of it may mean a planet with no life at all. But the challenge is to still be full of life even when the orbit has been changed & achieving that is the highest state of leadership. Some incidents of your life, may throw you into an orbit, that may leave you lifeless & barren, but it is then that the lesson in this blog should come back to your mind, & you should be able to tell yourself that there is hope, Simply because You are not a planet!!!
Sit down with yourself, put down all that's worth living for still, all those who still love you, no matter how much they do, all those people who still expect from you, all those things still worth fighting for, all those dreams yet unfulfilled & believe me these seeds sown on the land with changed conditions shall bring a new era of plantations & vegetation, new life, new atmospheric conditions & color shall seem to everywhere once again. Never the same as before but yet bright & beautiful. As once the young inspirational speaker, Sujit Lalwani quoted in one of his talks "The purpose of life is not to keep repeating history, The purpose is to keep creating history"
To conclude I summarise it simply - "everything is not under our control but choosing to react to every situtation with a heart that is crying or with a heart that is still trying is definitely under our control."
I request my reader to title this blog, because I believe it is something that reflects each of your stories and hence I could not name it "My life". Its OUR LIFE rather I would name it - just "LIFE". Waiting to read the titles you give to this one!
