SOME WORDS OF WISDOM

Exactly 10 days for a New Year. Will this lockdown be over by then? Will we be in a mood to enjoy the New Year?

It is said New Year brings new opportunities. But how? So many years came and passed by. Nothing much happened. Did any miracle occur? It is just a process. Unless we put some effort towards anything, how will any matter be an opportunity for us? I don’t think New Year bringing opportunities make sense. It is we, our mentality, and our approach towards what lies before us that proves whether anything that we do is an opportunity or a bad luck for us.

So rise from the couch, take a deep breath, clear your mind and move ahead. See for the positivity in everything and deal accordingly. Even if you lose, it does not matter. Try to see positive factor in losing too.

What I am trying to say is we decide our lives. The decisions we make and the actions we take, yes exactly, are the things which shape us in being who we are. These are solely internal. You might say—then what about our genes, the unconscious and subconscious? Yes, they do have a part to play. They are external factors. We have no control over them at the conscious level. But if we decide to work on that too, we will get a large part of or life transformed. Again, it is a decision; then comes action—mental activity followed by the physical.

So how to go for that? Well, we can’t spend our life doing everything that exists. Time is limited. As there are works from people who had already sacrificed their time, we should take their help. They are writers, researchers, psychologists, hypnotizers and, of course, the internet which has become such a convenient medium now. Make use of all these resources and analyze yourself. Slowly and gradually, everything starts making sense. You will get answers to all of your whats, hows and whys. You will then become calm and peaceful and go for the right things, right choices that make sense to your life. When we become blessed in this beauty of life, what more can we ask for?

I started with the New Year but where I have reached! Anyway, New Year does not bring opportunities. We create them. I say, everyday is a New Year’s Day. Let’s do good things every day. Let’s pray for the world. The world needs it so much now. Let’s serve the mankind. Let’s cherish our existence. Let’s celebrate every day.
