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.

(MY FACE BOOK POST DATED 11.-2.2018)

When some one shouts at you in anger, your mind gets filled with him / her totally and immediately. 

Not so, when someone loves you.

(MY  FACE BOOK POST DT 11-02-2013

IT ONLY TAKES A MINUTE

- to tell a loved one that you adore them

- to write the most beautiful thank you note

- to smile ( & become more beautiful!)

- to send a Reassuring Message to a Person in some fear or distress

- to come out of your distraction and focus on your goal

- to close your eyes and calm your mind 

MANY HELPFUL THINGS

                        DON’T NEED

                                 MORE THAN A FEW MINUTES

THINK OF IT. 

                     YOU CAN DO LOTS OF THINGS 

                                  - IF YOU WANT TO, THIS VERY MOMENT.
