Do I Accept the World as it is or I am in mode of Correcting it?

 The world is a very strange place to live in. At times it evokes feelings of happiness, joy and aha. Or at times it throws a feeling of ohh this is not the place to be living in.

So I continuously try to correct it with the hope that it will turn into an ideal place for me to dwell.

It’s difficult to accept the world with all its inefficiencies, difficulties, and unhealthy process which I encounter all the time.

I am continuously in the mode of correcting things and finding new solutions to the emerging pathos or problems.

Can I accept the world with all the flaws and frictions not waiting for an ideal world to emerge?

What is ideal for me can be totally reverse for somebody else.

If I were to reflect on my own choices for this phenomenon I see myself most of time in a critical mode wanting to correct people, system and the context.

This all also relates to the trust factor that we have in people. Trust is the relative attitude and it depends on each one’s own orientation to life.

It also relates to how superior or inferior orientation does each one have towards other fellow beings.

The arrogance or humility in each one of us create this stance.

How often can we refrain from passing judgement on the self or the others?

Most of the times we get caught up in pride of saying yes or no to the other person.

So how do you respond to this internal dilemma? Your intelligence and choices make you surrender in life.

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....
