You are awesome! Do you know that? Look at yourself. Stand in front of a mirror. All alone in the room. Aren’t you beautiful…handsome? You are. After all you are also a creation of God. He can’t be wrong. You have your place in this universe. You are important. We all need you. You have been given your time here. Live it fully. Invest in yourself. And the greatest investment is ‘time’. Spend time with yourself.
Life is colourful. So is nature. Look at the colours. Sunrise, sunset, clear blue sky, dark clouds, all shades of green in trees, colours of animals, colours of fruits and fresh vegetables, colours of flowers – colours everywhere! Dip yourself in colour all around. Everyday. Spend some time with nature. Everyday. And your life will become really colourful!
What do you do in your free time – watch TV, listen to music, play games in your smartphone? What about creating something! You need not be an artist to do that. Create a chapatti – try it. Prepare a meal. Read out a story to your child. Plant a sapling. Clean up the drawing room, all by yourself. Or draw something, if you enjoy doing that. Try your hand in calligraphy. Sing a song. Write something. Last time when you saw your handwriting – except in your signature? We all are creative. We are born with that. You will love yourself more when you create something.
“The most sophisticated people I know – inside they are all children.” – Jim Henson
Never let that kid in you to grow. Have kid like curiosity, throughout your life. Trust a stranger, the way a kid goes. Find joy in things, not looking at the price tags. Learns new things with all the attention, the way a kid learns. Let out your emotions with no string attached. You need not to try hard to do all these. Just be yourself. And in return, you will be loved by all, as we all love kids.
Remember that song from the movie Lion King – “We are one, you and I; We are like the earth and sky; One family under the sun.” For a moment think, that in this big, lonely (very lonely), dark and mysterious universe – we are all alone – a lonely planet and its habitat. All animals, birds, insects, humans – we all are one big family. No boundaries, religions, cast, creed or language. We are already alone in this universe. Then why create more barriers? Instead, let’s feel that oneness. And you will never feel alone again.
Is there life after death? Only dead men know that. We can’t wait till then. What about getting a rebirth – everyday? Possible. And sometimes we all experience that. Sometimes when you meditate, when you pray, when you create something, when you love someone, when you do something good, selflessly – you feel as if you are reborn. Tears come out from your eyes. your heart get cleansed. And you feel like reborn – the purest feeling one can ever have.
Health is important. Take care of that. Inculcate healthy habits. It is like worshipping the deity. Not doing it is like showing disrespect to this beautiful creation of God – that is you. Do simple thing, but do it on a regular basis. Do some physical exercise. Walk a lot. Sweat it out. And you will feel like doing your bit. New ideas will come fast. You will also feel like going after them. How awesome is that feeling? Yes, it is. You will feel good also. And nothing can be more important that that. Feel good. Take care.
Passion is your new religion. Be religious by staying committed to your passion. Whatever it is, how crazy it may sound – feel proud of it, love it, give your life to it. And you will never regret. Your passion will let you see a world – never seen, take you to new roads – never travelled, make you hear something – never heard before. What result it will bring, you never know, neither should it bother you. Following your passion is the only thing that you can give back to this world. Go, give.
What is ‘intuition’? Intuition is wisdom, which comes naturally to all of us. You can call it your sixth sense or gut feeling. Follow your intuitions. You will never feel confused in your life again. Whenever you’re spoilt for choices in life or you’re in a dilemma, to be or not to be – clear out all the noises and listen to your inner voice.That’sit. You got it right. No one can know your life better than you. Intuition, instinct, inner voice – they are always there for you. Give them your ears, follow them and life will be fun, thrilling, beautiful!
