I
can see from my window some college kids having fun dancing and shouting in the
middle of the road, smoking and doing dangerous stunts. For them, life is too
short to categorize things as good or bad.
As
I see the nature around me, the green trees, the change of seasons, the rain
drops falling, each and every time they seem to be coming like for the first
time. Life seems so short to me witnessing this particular moment. Life really
doesn’t allow me to stand and stare the nature for long.
Life
is just like a game. One has to play it by the rules then only does it seem to
be fair. Laws of nature are fair and just for everybody. As you Sow, So shall
you reap is the appropriate saying for understanding the right living. Life is
a mirror that just reflects to us our own perceptions and doings.
Human
birth has been awarded to us just to fulfill this very purpose of righteous and
a purposeful living. Human beings have been bestowed upon with the highest
qualities of consciousness, logic and power of expression. But if man doesn’t
make use of his extended capabilities and just resort to a living that is not
meant for him, he will stand out losing his fair chance of life.
I
think to learn and to change is what most of us find very difficult to do. Ego
and sometimes fear comes in between. To come out of these, everyone must be
aware of the fact of our oneness with god and that of his supreme nature. Only
by way the realization of this fact can a man generate confidence about his
being. But it is very aptly said that – ‘God helps those who help themselves ‘.
Have
you ever listened or paid attention to your inner voice? It comes from our very
heart. It comes from within to encourage us whenever we are doing a good job
and to scold us whenever we are about to do a bad thing. Living right is all
about listening to that voice speaking inside us. One has to make conscious
efforts to develop that by being more aware about one self. This can be done by
being truthful and honest to oneself first. Important is to listen and see
more, to understand more rather than to be understood first, and the most
important of all is to do than to think more, and to believe and surrender to
the higher cause of life. Living for your inner voice, for your spirit is I
think is righteous living in true sense. A life in which you share your
experiences and yourself with others, you love and contribute to the happiness
of the society is the right living.
Playing
with your life and indulging in dangerous and harmful acts is not worth it.
Giving an excuse of just one life and being careless about your deeds will make
you lose your chance of life. The A, B, C of life is simple-
Always
Be Careful
Always
Be Cheerful

“We
are what we think. All that we arise with is our thoughts. With thoughts we
make our world.” – Gautama Buddha.
Gautama
Buddha propounded love for mankind, personal salvation from sufferings and a
middle path approach. Middle path theory exhorts one to tread between two
extremes of sensualism and asceticism. He prophesizes man to avoid extremities
and have a balanced approach in life.
‘Don’t
be too sweet that you won’t be eaten; and don’t be too sour that you will be
spat out.’
It
is very important for each one of us to realize our full potential. This
happens when we surrender our selves physically, mentally and spiritually to
all tasks we do. Giving our very best should only be our objective.
Water
teaches us many fine virtues of life. Water is unstoppable and unfathomable.
Man’s journey of life is akin to water that is unstoppable, ever flowing and
ultimately mingling with the ocean. Like water man should also consistently
overcome the hurdles of its path and make its way through them.
Life
is just one time action with no forward, rewind or pause buttons. You cannot
erase anything neither you can rewrite anything. Life is like a huge canvas
placed in front of you. You have to be a good painter. Only you have the
capability of making your life colorful and fill with all the colours you want.
You should be your own best friend and your own best critic. At the end of the
day it would be only your own reflection that would be staring at you back. So
how you feel about yourself at that time is all that matters.
If
you feel you are strong enough then help the weak, if you are young then love
the old; if you are wrong then own the fault; if the other is wrong then
forgive him. Do not be angry when you are found fault with, nor find fault when
you are angry. Than you can too have a faultless life.
One
must seek a mission in life and should continuously endeavor to seek the truth
of life.
“A
life without cause is a life without effect.”
The
theory of life in simple words is-
In
life you get what you put in.
So
get up and realize the fact” You only live once, but if you live right once is
enough”
