Life n its Lessons

In my silence I would love to forget
But restitution hasnt come quite yet
And with one accord I keep moving forth
I stretch my heart to heal some more
It used to be all I want to learn
Was wisdom trust and truth
By now all I really want to learn
Is forgiveness for you
As my seasons change Ive now grown to know
When ones heart creates, ones soul doesnt owe
So I wash away stains of yesterday
Then tempt my heart with loves display

Honest criticism is hard to take…

Most people i have had the pleasure of knowing never question themselves or their actions .. if someone were to question it .. its often perceived as a judgment being passed … when honest criticism all it ever was…

In my lifetime having come across many such people…

Unfortunately some of them have been my nearest and dearest… If anyone knows me as a person also knows i can be a very big critic towards a handful few… What too many people don’t see is there is no fire without fuel… and the guy screaming fire is probably the one who cares the most .. about the situation

When someone stops criticizing you .. its a cause for concern. Giving up on you is the last thing you would want people to do…

Why i do it ?

its simple really .. Self Awareness is a switch .. which some people over their years of growing up simply forget to switch on…

Do i Hurt People ?

According to 9 out of 10 people i know …. say i do …
Do i really ? Or is its just their perception coupled in with a weak heart ?

I have never tried to seek answers to the second question… cause if given an option.. and i cared enough
i much rather be the asshole giving a reality check rather then a sugar coated pill…

Have i used comments made by my critics about my methods/ways  ? .. sure i did.. i questioned my methods/ways and rectified it if i was convinced logically its a flaw…

if one can learn to accept another perception and filter it to meet half way with ones own perception .. i cannot even begin to imagine the possibilities of ones self development ..

Start from where the world.. as it is …not as you would like it to be..

A city boy, Raj, moved to the village and bought a donkey from an old farmer for Rs.1000. The farmer agreed to deliver the donkey the next day.

The next day the farmer drove up and said, “Sorry Rajji, but I have some bad news, the donkey died while I was bringing him here.”

Raj replied: “Well then, just give me my money back.” The farmer said: “Can’t do that. I went and spent it already.”
Raj said: “OK then, just unload the donkey.”
The farmer asked: “What you are going to do with him?”
Raj: “I’m going to raffle him off.” (Note: To raffle is like lottery - draw lot to a group of people each paying the same amount for a ticket and there is a big prize for the people who win.)
Farmer: “You can’t raffle off a dead donkey!”
Raj: “Sure I can. Watch me. I just won’t tell anybody he’s dead.”
A month later the farmer met up with Kenny and asked, “What happened with that dead donkey?”
Raj: “I raffled him off. I sold 500 tickets at Rs. 10 each and made a profit of Rs 4990 with the donkey worth Rs. 1000 as the prize.
Farmer: “Didn’t anyone complain?”
Raj: “Just the guy who won. So I gave him back his Rs. 10.”

No situation is so bad that it cannot be turned around. You need to just think hard. So look at your glass always as half full rather then half empty.
