Dear Life….. do you have a lifetime Guarantee ???
Sometimes ..life doesn’t go as planned…!!
It is one of the hard things in life: accepting that life sometimes
doesn’t go as planned. We manage to come up with the most beautiful things in
our mind. We think of a dream which then
tumbles up etched in our mind as our ultimate
goal that we want to achieve. But sometimes life happens and then it sways off
the post to wading the way we wouldn’t have even imagined it. We would go along
with timeless new encounters which seemed to be developed into life lessons…!!
From a young age we dream of a carefree and stable future, of a
road which we map according to a specific plan. But when the most beautiful
things and plans suddenly come to an end, when the beauty disappears in seconds
and life takes you in a different direction than planned, there is simply
nothing you can do but accept the disappointment.
I believe a valid reason hides behind everything that happens. Every
disappointment is a snapshot which prevents you from making a wrong choice, or
even a worse choice. And it is something which will occasionally challenge you
to become a better version of yourself.
At some point in our lives we all experienced that we weren’t selected
for a job or an internship, but subsequently were rewarded with something
better. Or perhaps we got rejected in love, but after an endless amount of
waiting, suddenly our dream partner was standing right in front of our noses.
This is a reminder.
For every event the same holds true: you just have to see the good in
it. And, above all: have faith. Turn your fears into power, action and
patience. In time everything will be all right, because life is filled
with unprecedented surprises. Even for you.
There is a famous quote: “Your destiny is shaped according to
the combination of conditions pre-determined at birth and other
factors that you are able to change through your own efforts.”
Sadhguru says: "Nothing is predetermined – not even
death. Everything has been created by you, though mostly
unconsciously.
When life throws
you an unexpected challenge a humongous task what would you do?
Be brave…
…about discovering who you are. Many of us have our
lives totally mapped out—this is … when we would get married, how many children
I’ll have, this is where I’m going to live, this what work I want to do—to the
point where we may not question whether it’s what we truly want.
So when something unexpected happens that changes our
life plans, it can shake us to the core. We become vulnerable, unsure of
ourselves, and unsure of what to do—and this can feel very uncomfortable. Be
brave and ride those feelings out, because you may just discover what it is
that you are truly in search of.
Be honest…
…with yourself. Even though life hasn’t turned out the
way you had planned, it does not mean that you have failed. There’s no need to
make excuses, judge yourself, or shy away from this truth.
And it’s okay to feel angry and hurt; these are natural feelings and are a
part of being honest with yourself. But acceptance is necessary. Accept what
is. The sooner you realize this, you will be able think clearly and take steps
in the right direction with a positive mindset.
Be open…
…to a different life and to new experiences. There’s no
point hanging on to what could’ve been, because it can make us bitter and
resentful.
With an open heart and mind you can truly let new
experiences into your life. You never know what exciting events may come your
way, but then that’s the beauty of it.
Be gentle and kind…
…with yourself and others. Whether you believe what’s
happened in your life is your fault or not, you must be gentle with and forgive
yourself. It serves no one, especially not you, if
you don’t “talk” to yourself lovingly.
To create a life of purpose, we must first love
ourselves, because only then can our actions come from the heart. And when your
actions come from the heart, you see clearly, feel strong, and are sure of your
choices.
Be trusting…
…of yourself and the universe. All you can do is your
best and go with the flow—and trust that your life is turning out as it should be.
Going with the
flow can be challenging, especially if
you’re someone like me who likes to be in control.
So remind yourself constantly that even when you try so
hard to create a life that you want, the universe may decide otherwise. And how
you choose to respond to it is what matters—that’s really what life’s all about
Who says life
is perfect…its has its trials and tribulations …high and lows …delights and
sorrows…. It never remains the same …it goes like the ECG of our heart beat… ups
and downs…..because a straight line in ECG means its the end of the life..
Our life itself
is our great teacher, it teaches us things that no one can teach us, and
everything comes from out of syllabus 😉 .Life is like a school, you learn everyday you give your exams . you
may pass or you may fail . Problems are part of curriculum , you have to solve
it to get marks. Its one of the best learning experience.
