What all I have Celebrated in life and what all I repented?

Both this feelings go hand in hand at times. I get into the celebration mode and at times I get into repentant mode.

I celebrate life when it gives me opportunities to feel good and joyous with the situation. Who defines the situation? At times a situation may be may create happiness and at times it may create sadness.

Most of the times I can celebrate something when I have been able to achieve something in life or engage with people in a meaningful way.

But who defines life? Each individual has a different orientation and a meaning towards the meaning of life and what they observe out of it.

For me the meaning of life comes from sense of ethical values, responsibility to the context being involved in the meaningful activities and relating to the world or the people with sensitivity and compassion.

There are people who are completely opposite of this description. For the meaning in life comes from spending money in similar ways and must be with the world. There is no sense of ownership or responsibility these people carry to live meaningful life.

I would really repent those moments wherein I am only a waster or a burden to the world.

Life has given me immense opportunities and resources and people for me to engage in a meaningful way.

Hence I think it would be each individual duty and responsibility to not be a waster in this world but offer himself in a productive or useful way.

What is useful may be totally useless for somebody else. So it is important that each one of us define our own meaning of usefulness and uselessness to the world.

An individual life can come and go but eternal life lives on.

It’s all about opening your inner code in life.

Creativity is one more attribute that can move you towards celebration.

Why do we Produce children? When sometimes they are assets and sometimes are liabilities.

  Whenever you get married the first thought that comes to your mind is when you will have children. Having children becomes such an important dream for the parents, the in-laws, and friends around you. People become very curious, noisy, and intruding in this very important phase of one’s life. So having children becomes almost a compulsion at each stage in life. Even if one is not prepared one gets into the rat race of having children. There are very few couples or individuals who make a conscious decision to not having children because they are not prepared for it. Once you have children they become an immense source of joy, fulfillment, and nurturing for the parents. If I were to take my example I had two children in a row and they were the most burdensome and I rarely enjoyed my motherhood until they were five. They were symbols to show off and gratitude towards in-laws. Only once they grew up to be adults could I engage with them on a one-to-one basis. My Husband...

Don’t rely on Saint and Saige’s for your Solution.

  We often rely on saints, sages and the arrived people for all our solutions. However, we need to ask ourselves whether they are the actual source of all our problems. Actually, if we look inward we can realize that most of the solutions lie within us and I don’t need to look out for any solutions. It’s only the belief in one self that you realize that all the solutions lie within me. It’s all about the faith and conviction that I have in myself to generate solutions in life. If I look at the problem, with a great deal of tension and negativity I will only look for problems outside me. If I have the courage and the faith in myself then I will not look outside of me. You become a prisoner of your own habits if you are unable to get out of it. Only if you are in tune with nature and the real things happening around will you be able to find real solutions. In the name of being god-fearing, we are unable to drop all the shackers and inhabitations we carry towards god and t...

Be a Mirror to Yourself and Live Life.

  It is important that we reflect on ourselves in the process of living life. A mirror often gives you the realistic image and picture of yourself. So in living life it is important to look at yourself into the mirror and create learnings. Mirror is an object which creates lots of learnings for the self Is there a god which helps you look at real picture on there is no god. When you look into the mirror you discover/recreate. You feel good with yourself or you feel nauseous. Both the realities are true. At times you feel good and on high and at times you may fee horrible. Keep the mirror for a learning of whether you are in the good space or the bad space. At times you may feel very big and at times very small both realities are real. The mirror reflects only what you are it does not pass a judgement on whether you are good or bad that judgement is passed on by the self. If we stumble and fumble we are unable to see ourselves with clarity. Author:-Dr. Nayana Shah (Ph....
