Life n its Lessons

The problems you face will either defeat you or develop you — depending on how you respond to them. Unfortunately most people fail to see how life wants to use problems for good in their lives. They react foolishly and resent their problems rather than pausing to consider what benefit they might bring.

1. Life uses problems to DIRECT you. Sometimes Life must light a fire under you to get you moving. Problems often point us in a new direction and motivate us to change. Is Life trying to get your attention?

2. Life uses problems to INSPECT you. People are like tea bags . . . if you want to know what’s inside them, just drop them into hot water! Has Life ever tested your faith with a problem? What do problems reveal about you?

3. Life uses problems to CORRECT you. Some lessons we learn only through pain and failure. It’s likely that as a child your parents scold you not to touch a hot stove. But you probably learned by being burned. Sometimes we only learn the value of something … health, money, a relationship . . . by losing it.

4. Life uses problems to PROTECT you. A problem can be a blessing in disguise if it prevents you from being harmed by something more serious. Last year a friend was fired for refusing to do something unethical that his boss had asked him to do. His unemployment was a problem — but it saved him from being convicted and sent to prison a year later when management’s actions were eventually discovered.

5. Life uses problems to PERFECT you. Problems, when responded to correctly, are character builders. Life is far more interested in your character than your comfort. Your relationship to Life and your character are the only two things you’re going to take with you into eternity.

Until you really don’t learn … A “loop” is all that you will follow..

Its been a while since i have been this numb … but sure does remind me of the days ..

Sometimes i wish if it was my ego …..would make it easier on me and make it all my fault ..

Over the years for some strange reason i have put my best foot forward always to maintain relations with close friends and loved ones .. no matter how bumpy of a ride i may have had with them …

if you care enough for someone to a point .. where it doesn’t matter who’s fault it is .. An apology doesn’t take much effort as my dad used to say …it doesn’t matter if you have to put down your pride .. but it does matter if it was your self respect

Realizing  the difference between the two doesn’t come easy … takes alot of falling and even more a strong heart ..  sometimes our emotions get the better of us .. but its ok no man is ever right always and experience only comes with bad choices …

Everyone one including me has made them … such is life keep moving

Its not everyday that you realize what a jackass you are in matters of the heart with close friends and loved ones…

It started 2 weeks back at the hard rock cafe when i was out hanging out with a few friends … and a very dear friend passed a statement about me…. mentioned in all good intention and taken in the right spirit by me .. Struck a cord with me .. i happened to ask him the next day when i was sober and he told me maybe he didn’t use the right words but i knew what he meant …

Considering the connection i share with him i got a rough idea about the matter … I gave it a thought realized it but did nothing about it … until this evening when it was hammered into my head by a chain of events which i never imagined in my wildest dreams would occur … maybe i should have seen it coming ..

What those events where are little too personal for me to disclose

On my way back home i was putting things together .. a few questions arose in my mind, i called up another friend and asked her … Although i knew it would push her off the edge.. Its just something i had to get in the clear ..i got my answers but yet they didn’t seem convincing enough…

Took me a couple of weeks of pondering around with my thoughts and conversations with some friends to come to a conclusion

Love is blind…. Friendship tries not to notice…

The Rational behind calling someone a close friend or a loved one is when you let your guard down around them..and share n care a little more then the average

Events are likely to occur with them just as they would with a normal person with who you may have your guard up against…and there is not much one can do besides take it with a pinch of salt…

In Love or in Friendship being a jackass is but natural … i have been one for a while and will continue to be for the rest of my life … choosing not to do so would lead my soul into solitude … and solitude is a temporary asylum which can never last a lifetime …

Out of all my crazy thoughts this one by far is the most scariest or at least gets one thinking …

I remember sitting across the table with a friend of mine talking about how time flew by and now that he is 30 and i am 26 … Half our lifes have almost passed us by…

He Said ” I want to call it quits by the time i am 60.. don’t wanna live post that”
it triggered a thought in my mind … thought i’d bust his chops

Me: So your 30 … You think you have another 30 years left to live your life …
Him : Yes
Me: Ah… “with a evil smile”
Me: hey did this thought every occur to you that 30 years flew by so quick cause you were sleeping for 15 out of the 30
and you would do the same for the remainder 30.. So technically .. you only have 15 years left to live
Him: Looking at me stunned he said ” You got me thinking there buddy .. its a scary thought.. Just when i was thinking i have enough time to live my life”

Never told him this … but it was a scary thought for me too which i happened to put off as a joke ..

Think about it … i know i did that night

With Age Comes Experience …
With Experience comes Realization…
If realizations are are put to thought ….comes wisdom

Thus with age comes wisdom is untrue

I have met a number of people in life young and old, smart and dumb for some strange reason i still don’t know why i can’t seem to underwrite anyone.

i am fascinated with the idea of understanding human nature and what better way then to look around into people around you.

i am not sure which juncture of my life i came to this conclusion but it has been a blissful realization. Everyone knows “You Live.. You Learn” Life teaches every one lessons.

But did it ever occur to you if you pay a little extra attention to conversations you may have with people or by observing people in situations and their actions .. You might actually learn something life taught them

its food for thought .. For the past 10 years i have been speaking to a man at least once every few weeks. Every Conversation i have with him i seem to derive something useful.. i feel blessed to learn something from someone in 10 years what may have taken that man 55 years to realize…

For the longest of times … Ever since i have started exploring life. It only existing for me in 2 forms Black or White Right or Wrong….. 12 Years of black n white sure does make life pretty boring

Then one fine day i met someone who’s entire life seemed to be Grey. …its funny i had never come across an individual with such a pattern ever…. It intrigued me as i grew closer to this grey individual..

As i stood there and observed over the months. This person had never differentiated between right or wrong black or white.. Always did what brought happiness and joy in each moment they lived.

A birth right of every individual is that he or she deserves to be happy in whatever way they choose to. Its an individuals sole choice irrespective of judgments made by other individuals in the society or the society as a whole

Under the general norm of the society we live in this individual would be considered an outlaw by all standards

As we grew closer day after day .. conversation after conversation i realized how wrong i had been all my life…Life is not all black and white… Its Black White and Grey

And its ok to have a few grey patches here and there. Life is gift which needs to be lived to the full.. It cannot be lived by a rule book…Although there always have to be some underlying principles which surround your life…

What these principles are again an individual choice ..

The ability for an individual to accept see and realize there are grey areas in life … is something most people don’t come to terms with all their lifes …However i was fortunate enough to be thought this lesson in life by a little lost child …

Dream On Dreamer .. Dream On .. so what if its grey …

Individuals often explore themselves over the years. Learn Right from wrong based on their perspective , company and up bringing…

Not all of us often head on a sensible path to life in all areas. I made a virtual mess of a few areas myself but with over time realized and tried to repair the damage to the best i could…

However there are a couple of things in life which i realized over time and did nothing about either… Maybe one day it would lead to a downfall in life. Maybe one day it would bring to end something i have cherished for a while in my life. Maybe there are a few things which i held onto for too long even though i knew they were killing me deep inside…. and did end up taking their toll on me

Came to realize when i put my life on a table and observed ..

A thought may count …. But and effort is what brings change for the good

Have you ever tried to put life in reverse gear ?

Well Today I did. Felt pretty weird

Its Almost as if your running full steam ahead and something strikes you like a bolt of lightening that you left some thing way back in your distant past.

And the though of losing such a dear thing brings you to a grinding halt. Even if you do try and reverse you do realize that you can’t

I tired to ponder with the question as to why if i could head ahead so fast ahead i couldn’t reverse equally quick। Well and it struck me One does not really go anywhere in life. Just gets into a notion of ignoring the winds of change sweeping all around us.

The Notion i had of running full steam ahead was only a illusion while all this while i just stood there. Turning a blind eye towards the winds of change that were leaving no stone unturned

Learn from your past
Live your present
Look forward to your future…. Don’t live in it

A life time will pass by before you realize it
