The Rhythm Divine.....

There are times when we feel enough is enough and, the only thing that we can do is to let go.Life indeed is a fine mingling of lettin go and holding on.When we let go of things,it does not mean we are incapable of doing something.Instead it is a sign of well gathered maturity intertwined with  an explicable sense of self-esteem that powers us to realize what we dream.Accept yourself as you are.This alone is the ultimate way to getting what you want.An oak is needed for existence as much as a teak is needed .A teak cannot become an oak and vice-versa.

Celebrate the uniqueness in yourself.The more you like yourself,the less you like anyone else and this i would say is absolutely true.

"There is no one who is youer than you and this is truer than true" is a quote that has always inspired me.On the flip side,this also means you ought to respect the uniqueness in others.I may not be as beautiful as a snowflake or a sun flower but i am wat i am and i firmly believe existence can never replace me with anyone else.The biggest crime in life is trying to change your closed ones like you.Its merely an attitude of reflection,an attitude of trying to see what you want them to be rather than you accepting them for what they are.Nothing is as shameful as trying to crush somebody's  individuality.Be what you are and let others be what they are.No matter what age you are, or what your circumstances might be, you are special, and you still have something unique to offer. Your life, because of who you are, has meaning.The greatness of art is not to find what is common,but,what is unique.At bottom every man knows well enough that he is a unique being, only once on this earth; and by no extraordinary chance will such a marvellously picturesque piece of diversity in unity as he is, ever be put together a second time.

What each must seek in his life never was on land or sea. It is something out of his own unique potentiality for experience, something that never has been and never could have been experienced by anyone else.In case of any mishap, we can always look up to people whom we trust,we can always consider their advice ,but, one point that is not to be forgotten is : the ultimate experience is going to be ours and the consequences will be seen by us.Life unravels its mystery every second in its own language..in its own signs..How many of us even realize this...How many of us have practised the law of acceptance?... Accept life's offerings with the hope that it is giving you the best,taking you to a place where you exactly shold be...Its better to be yourself than to be a second hand copy of some one else.Enjoy the miraculous mysteries

that life unfolds every moment.For after all, the best thing one can do when it's raining is to let it rain.Give love and unconditional acceptance to those you encounter, and notice what happens.If I could define enlightenment briefly I would say it is 'the quiet acceptance of what is'.There comes a time when you have to stand up and shout: "This is me damn it! I look the way I look, think the way I think, feel the way I feel, love the way I love! I am a whole complex package. Take me... or leave me. Accept me - or walk away! Do not try to make me feel like less of a person, just because I don't fit your idea of who I should be and don't try to change me to fit your mould. If I need to change, I alone will make that decision. When you are strong enough to love yourself 100%, good and bad - you will be amazed at the opportunities that life presents you.Truly loving another means letting go of all expectations. It means full acceptance, even celebration of another's personhood.Yes...it is doing to others..what you would want them to do to you.

Its perfectly okay even if you think others are not treating you the way you deserve yourself to be treated.If you are going through hell,its ok..keep going.Have you have been warned against letting the golden moments slip by. Yes, but some of them are golden only because we let them go or we let them slip by.Love is not written on paper, for paper can be erased. Nor is it etched on stone, for stone can be broken. But it is inscribed on a heart and there it shall remain forever.Let your heart find its source.It does not need your mind coz the mind is cunning and manipulative ,the heart on the other hand has no reasons.Find the rhythm that guides you from within.Find your source.Find your passion.Do only what you want to do,not what the society wants you to.To be great, be whole; exclude nothing, exaggerate nothing that is you.Be whole in everything. Put all you are into the smallest thing you do.It is time to paint your life with your colours, not with others'.All my life I had been looking for something, and everywhere I turned someone tried to tell me what it was. I accepted their answers too, though they were often in contradiction and even self-contradictory. I was naïve. I was looking for myself and asking everyone except myself questions which I, and only I, could answer. It took me a long time and much painful boomeranging of my expectations to achieve a realization everyone else appears to have been born with: that I am nobody but myself...What is uttered from the heart alone,Will win the hearts of others to your own.Well am not trying to be poetic..but,what your heart thinks is great, is great. The soul's emphasis is always right. The Soul loves the truth and that alone shall guide you to the rhythm divine.

A Journey Of Integrity

Many a times in life we come across a situation where the heart says one thing and the mind says another obviously over powering the former. It is not always that we listen to our heart. We tend to get carried away by what the mind says and we fail to explore what the heart says .The human tendency is to justify what we have done be it right or wrong. As if right and wrong were convertible terms dependent on majority opinion. What is right is often forgotten by what is convenient.

 

The measure of a man's real character is what he would do if he knew he never would be found out. Integrity is a value. It is your choice of values and resolution to live by those values that form your character and personality. And it is integrity that enhances all your other values. The quality of person you are is determined by how well you live up to the values that are most important to you. Integrity is the quality that locks in your values and causes you to live consistent with them. You inevitably attract into your life the people and circumstances that are in harmony with your dominant thoughts and values. The person of integrity lives in a fragile balance between some traits like arrogace,rigidity capriciousness, weakness of will, self deception, self-ignorance and indifference. It is not that integrity stands as a mean between the vices and traits mentioned above but a person with integrity knows how to balance them.

Life is a journey of integrity. If you have integrity, nothing else matters.  If   you don't have integrity, nothing else matters. Integrity is what we do, what we say, and what we say we do. It is the essence of everything successful. It's not what we eat but what we digest that makes us strong; not what we gain but what we save that makes us rich; not what we read but what we remember that makes us learned; and not what we profess but what we practice that gives us integrity. Never separate the life you live from the words you speak. Your integrity is manifested in your willingness to adhere to the values that are most important to you. It's easy to make promises but often very hard to keep them. But every time you keep a promise that you've made, it is an act of integrity, which in turn strengthens your character. Integrity is not a conditional word that changes like weather. It is an image, a reflection of your own inner self.

One who tries to hide his shortcomings and follies is not fit to walk the highway of truth. Dignity consists not in possessing honors, but in the consciousness that we deserve them. Conscience is what hurts when everything else feels so good .A heart needs only its own voice to do what is right and the time is always right to do what is right.

Don't try to be different.  Just be good.  To be good is different enough. Try not to become a man of success but rather try to become a man of values. Have the courage to say no. Have the courage to face the truth. Do the right thing because it is right. These are the magic keys to living your life with integrity. As John Webster said “Integrity of life is fame's best friend, which nobly, beyond death, shall crown in the end.”

Miles To Go Before We Sleep

"The woods are dark,deep and lovely.But i have promises to keep and miles to go before I sleep"
To me these two lines depict the essence of life.Delving into the philosophical plane ,Robert Frost potrays the true meaning of life.Life is not ablout facing the storm and rising up strong,it is a lot more than that.It is about learning to enjoy the dance in the rain :-) It is enjoying every moment of life in its entirety and totality, leaving behind all premonitions and prejudices.Everything, except the art of living has been learnt,practised and perfected.Life demands so much from us every minute.We try to be anything and evrything other than what we are.The commitments keep pulling us from all directions and slowly,slowly we lose our identity amidst the milling crowds.
Once in a while it is necessary to escape the civilization,ignore the demands and expectations of the world and withdraw into your inner self for strength and solidarity.When you come to a crossroad in life,it is better to choose the road less travelled if it aligns with your passion and interest.Life is all about flaunting forward your true personality,enriching your inner self every time you fall down,gathering motivation from beloved ones and striving forward to conquer your territory.Ultimately,what you put into life is what you get back.Infact it is very difficult to be yourself under certain circumstances.The entire life of a man is a diary in which he intends to write a story ,but unfortunately,ends up writing another.We are so accustomed to disguising ourselves to others then we finally end up being disguised to ourselves.Almost every human being wastes his life to display capabilities that he does not posess to get applauses he cannot keep with himself.Let the world know you as who you are,and how you should be,instead if you pose,you will sooner or later forget the pose and lose the rythm that guides you from within.
The root of all problems can be traced back to relationships.We are more interested in making others believe we are happy than trying to be happy ourselves.Why do we get into relationships?There is only one ultimate answer.Aloneness hurts.We are afraid of being alone.Man is at his worst when he is hinself.Give him a mask and he will flaunt it with all the pomp and splendor in the world.He who travels in search of some thing that he does not possess or something that cannot be his,hetravels away from himself growing old among many things.Remember, the pen that writes your life's story must be your's :-) If god wanted some one else,he would have very well created someone else.Wherever you go,go with all your heart.As we try to make sense of small things in life ,life looks on in response.The tendency of life ,always,is forward. At the heart of every desire is the desire to feel good. And so, the standard of success in life is not the things or the money, the standard of success is absolutely the amount of joy you feel.To do something, however small, to make others happier and better, is the highest ambition, the most elevating hope, which can inspire a human being.
