power of acceptance in life!!!!

Today's chat with my friend made me think about many things in life which we unnecessarily complicate and end up in abnormal fight.One among that hot thing is about satisfaction in life, which is like an ocean , a topic which cannot be debated in a simple way.How important is the power of acceptance in our life?

A person with a happy mind is such that , if you put him in hell, he will convert it in to heaven.The person has a great secret in transforming everything in to joy,like how doctors transform snake poison in to medicine.We all want to be happy and run after this or that.We go on creating problems as the mind is not happy with what is.When we dont watch our mind a negative system is created and when we dwell on the negative, our pattern of anger, our pattern of justifying, our pattern of jealousy etc creates a negative system.This negative system takes over and we lose control of ourself.

To my knowledge I think life is not frustrating, the mind that is filled with expectations is frustrating.Mind is hijacked by expectations.The problem with us is that we want the world, God and nature to follow the time table that we have set.We want the world to run according to our likes and dislikes.More than all these we are prone to comparisons.We develop feelings of inferiority and superiority depending on whom we are looking at.

We have to take one thing for certain.Life is short.Why lose ourselves very early with wrong thinking.

LETS MAKE A CONSCIOUS , DELIBERATE DECISION TO STAY HAPPY UNDER ALL CIRCUMSTANCES WITHOUT ANY SPECIFIC REASON.

Toughest job

My daughter who has recently stepped in to the pre teen stage started asking me questions about the recent trial of Kasab(the terrorist caught w.r to the recent terror attack), and it was rather a tough job for me to give her a convincing reply.
Raising a child is probably the most gratifying job any of us will ever have -- and one of the toughest. In large part, that's because times have changed. We live in an increasingly complex world that challenges us everyday with a wide range of disturbing issues that are difficult for children to understand and for adults to explain.
Senseless acts of violence involving children have become all too commonplace in our society: school shootings, child abductions, accidental drownings and kids killing kids.And with modern technology being what it is today, parents cannot realistically protect their youngsters from these broadcasts, especially with the media's endless reporting of these events.
Some adults want to keep their youngster's childhood a period of carefree innocence and avoid discussing these issues. But not talking to children about the violence they hear about--or actually see first-hand--denies them the opportunity to figure out what it means, especially in a society where extreme violence has become the norm.
It is important for parents to talk to their child about what the child has seen or heard in the media. This allows parents the opportunity to lessen the negative effects of the news while providing the youngster with parental ideas and values. While children cannot be completely protected from the reporting of violent news events, parents can help make them feel safer and less vulnerable to many problems in the world around them.
Let your kids know the difference between news and reality.I think it's important that as parents we let our kids know that the news and the world are very complex, and that greater perspective will come with age and continued communication. Anyways lets wait and watch wats n store for the future generation!!!!!!!!!!!

Seeing Yourself.

People often speak about thoughts and stress, everytime you are upset and you are stressed, it is the thought that creates the stress more than the situation. There is a beautiful story which I heard in one of the spiritual gurus talks. The story goes like this..Once Buddha was preaching his monks.A thief who was passing by listened to that sitting under a tree. Like wise a prostitute also passed by and she also started listening to the conversation.Buddha started preaching about about so many things and finally he ended up his speech by saying,"Do your duty before you go to bed".So everyone heard Buddha's advice. The thief got up in deep consolation that Buddha has endorsed his duty.The prostitute went away with the consolation that she can proceed doing her duty and now can catch rich customers. Finally the monks also got up and went their way by telling that their duty was to meditate.The thief interpreted in his own way and so the prostitute. In life we listen to what we want to listen.Very few people listen objectively.We are too lost in what we want to listen and in that space there is misunderstanding.Misunderstanding conflicts with reality.Thus it creates stress.Many of our tensions are result of wrong interpretations.
So lets be an objective listener and not an subjective listener and then we will find lots of tensions coming down.
"Seeing Yourself"-that is going beyond thoughts is the best way to handle stress.

Frustrations

How many moments of frustration do you live daily? How frequently do you experience anger, sadness, fear and apathy?

Opportunities

Yesterday I had been for a small get together where I happened to meet people from various walks of life.In the course of talking I came across a young girl who was very attractive and seem to have achieved her goal at an very young age.This made me think about opportunities that comes in our life and when we miss them, the way we think about that later.I think in a society every opportunity comes with three obligations. First, you must seize it. You must mould it into a work that brings value to others. Second, you must live it. Opportunity is nurtured only by action. Third, you must defend the freedom to pursue opportunities. You must embrace these three obligations to be successful.
I think life is like a combination lock;your goal is to find the right numbers, in the right order, so you can have anything you want.
