YOUR DESTINY IS IN YOUR HANDS
HOW ARE YOU HANDLING IT?
Some
people lead very mechanical lives. Are you one of them? They measure every
success in terms of money, assets and other possessions. They don't and they
can't love any one , they don't know what is happiness and they measure their
success only in terms of material possessions.
We
can all tell who is the richest person in India or the richest stock investor
in India and so on. But can we tell who is the happiest person in India? Can
we? Are we all mentally leading mechanical lives? Is it not time to get out of
that mode?
Some
people lead very emotional lives, positive or negative. Negative people are
angry, jealous, hateful, greedy, and harbour enmity against many people.
Against
whom and for what reason are not important. If it is not X, Y will take his
place. But anger, Jealousy etc will continue forever. It is in the person's own
nature and not in the target person . He can invent a thousand reasons to
dislike or hate a person without ever having seen him once.Many such people
lead miserable lives themselves and distribute misery wherever they go to all
people around them.
Some
emotional persons are highly positive, loving, compassionate, joyful and happy.
What you can give others is - what you have. These people give lots of
happiness and love to people around them. If sometimes they become slightly
negative, they will fight against it and quickly revert back to their positive
nature.
Some
people are philosophical by nature. They misinterpret karma theory as a
fatalistic theory and never try to create their future by their effort. They
attribute every incident and accident to punyam and papam and not to their
effort and their carelessness. They also can't taste love and joy in their
lives.
Some
people are timid, fearful and afraid to face life and it's various facets. You
may be afraid of people, or cockroaches or darkness or any thing like that,
which others face very easily.
Opposite
to these people are reckless people, who injure themselves severely or even die
for small, foolish, reckless dare devilries.
So,
what am I? What are you? When are we going to know ourselves?
Do
you always like to earn physical assets, or power of some type and find no
interest in love, fun, games and happiness?
Or
your nature is the reverse, or vice versa... No interest in earning but always
love - fun, love and joy?
Or
you love to be a bookworm, smartphone worm etc, with no interest in others?
Or,
you always hate people as a class without even knowing anybody from that class
or group?
Or,
you don't hate anybody but you are helpful and compassionate to others?
Or,
you are just a lazy parasite, finding all sorts of excuses for your failures?
Or,
you are a timid introvert or reckless extrovert?
What
are you? Do you know your own nature? Have you ever examined your own role in
your failures and your successes? Have you ever examined your own role in
creating unhappiness for some people around you at least , by your words,
actions etc? Do you ever know that you can create happiness for others by your
words and actions? Did you ever try in your life?
Are
your Face book, Twitter and whatsapp comments negative or positive, helpful or
hateful, friendly or bitter....? This is the simplest test, right?
This
self analysis and self criticism is the starting point for all of your success
in life?
Do
it ruthlessly, brutally, and dispassionately. YOU are yourself responsible for
your destiny and your happiness. Nobody else is responsible for your success
and your failure. Only You are.
You
are standing in the way of your success and your happiness. Get out of your
way. Go ahead and carve your success.
Let
2018 be the most successful year of your life so far.
Rest
of the world (and me) will surely applaud your every successful effort.

When
some one shouts at you in anger, your mind gets filled with him / her totally
and immediately.
Not so, when someone loves you.
