On going beyond your comfort zone.........

On going beyond your comfort zone.........

Go beyond your comfort zone and challenge yourself on various levels.......

unless you do that you wouldn't know what you are capable of!

Many times we think less of our abilities and capacities ........we are capable of much more than we can actually credit ourselves with.....

Only under "certain conditions" does that reality come out even to us..........

and then we think "if I could do this 'extra' effortlessly by stretching myself a wee bit, may be I could have achieved a lot more in life by going a little bit more further than I did!".

I would say 'hold that thought!' and NOW work that way ......

don't take 'no' from yourself........

when ever you have a target, instead of seeing how big it is - just see how to get it done by the set date. Take the target and work backwards and lo! before you have realized you have completed the task!

go beyond your limitations (as assumed by you) - chase your dreams and win them too.......

You are given abilities and capabilities much beyond your acceptance ......You can not just aim for the stars , you can even touch them now..........

A poem - Life!

अगर जिन्दगी है तो ख्वाब है,

ख्वाब है तो मंजिलें हैं,

मंजिलें हैं तो रास्ते हैं,

रास्ते हैं तो मुश्किलें हैं,

मुश्किलें हैं तो हौसले हैं,

हौसले हैं तो विश्वास है,

कि जीत हमारी है |


Where life is, dreams are

if dreams are, goals are,

if goals are, way is,

if way is,  obstacles are,

if obstacles are, encouragement is,

where encouragement is, faith is

that we'll overcome!

ON suffering....

On suffering........

The one ring everyone seems to carry for certain seems to be "suffering" whether they are married or not.......

It's good - carry it with all your love but in your heart.

Just don't let it mess with your mind.

Just remember to ask yourself these few questions -

While I am suffering, am I being blind to the love of all others in my life?

Am i being so selfish in my pain that I am hurting all those around me by throwing my pain on them by way of being harsh?

Am i picking up fights with them,  getting irritated when they are coming to me by being nice and with genuine concerns?

Am I causing them pain?

Am I carrying the cross of suffering for everyone to see and pity me?

If you are in pain, be in pain. No questions asked!

But give that "precious pain of yours" to others in your life?

Do they deserve this - especially for standing up with you?

Because they are supporting you?


When they need you?

Think!

# pain, 
# suffering
#giving pain to near and dear ones

Request for all....

Request for all..about comments.......

I know it is repetitive and yet since it is happening again and again, i end up saying the same again and again......

First - DON"T post your comments as "UNKNOWN" - they will not be posted/published (and then don't sit to sulk saying 'she doesn't like me/ angry with me etc imaginary reasons)

Second -  have your comments 'draft/copy' somewhere first and then post it in the comments.....

in case, it is not being published for some technical reasons, then you can just 'cut/paste' from your copy..........then don't crib i didn't have a copy, don't remember, if you remember will you write what i wrote about etc.......

life

life


It's not every day that you feel wanted.

it's not every day that you feel loved.

it's not every day that you feel understood.

but, that's ok, when you look at what life has to offer you.

when you see all that you can do with your life.

don't look for just 'that colour' that is missing in life, instead paint your life with all the colour that are still there in you life......

remember - every cloud has a silver lining......

A sher (couplet in urdu)



"Kaun kehta hai aasmaan mein surakh ho nahi sakta,
ek patthar toh tabiyat se uchhaalo yaaro…”

कौन कहता है आसमां में सुराख़ हो नहीं सकता
एक पत्थर तो तभीयत से उछालो यारों।

who says that you can't make a hole in the sky,
dear friend, try throwing a stone at it with conviction....


for all those who say - "it's true but...." - the one who smiles, moves on, wins, is happy there is no but.......that is the only thing that stops YOU from being going where you say you want to go to.......

that simple 'but' is all it takes to keep you where you are.....

No one - absolutely no one and no situation is responsible for who you are and where you are.......

on query!

on queries.........

i post a blog post on a particular subject and even explain what to do about it - say a situation, how to heal it and its effects of not healing etc........

and then within a week or so, if someone asks the question relating the same, then how do i see it?

you read blog but don't bother about what is written if it doesn't apply to your current situation?

That you'll not remember the solution when the question/issue arises in your life - say even if it be in a few days time?

laziness or sheer negligence?

check previous posts before asking questions.....

and never use blog or me to "support" your belief or stand on doing/ not doing something........

i ask you to get up at 3am and meditate till 5 am - since 15-20yrs.....you don't do that...

i ask you to do full body reiki daily - you don't do that......

do pranayamam and homam - well you have your excuses not to do that too.......

but when my explanation supports you or helps you to argue against people who are asking you to follow some 'ritual' or 'tradition' then you conveniently quote me.....

think about all this drama........is it necessary? why all this drama?

do if you want to and don't if you don't want to - but own it up like a man........atleast start with that honestly........

On life's journey.....

Every difficult and impossible journey of 1000 miles started with just "one small step" taken in the right direction and with right intention........

one step at a time is all you need to take for now....

don't look at the distance you need to cover...

look at the next step you need to take.....take that and every step will eventually lead you to the point you need to go eventually.....

everything works out fine at the end.....don't imagine your future and fear it now....just live your present happily, gratefully and with a purpose the future will be taken care of ultimately........

Just one reason to live and celebrate!


We may have hundred reasons to cry.......

We may find thousand reasons to die.......

We may have whole world hating us, finding fault with us......

BUT

it just takes one reason to smile

you just need one reason to LIVE

and just one person to believe in you, love you to make this journey worthwhile.......

and just one person / one purpose to make your life worth living for, fighting for and wanting to use this life for that purpose......

Stop looking at the vastness of darkness...

instead light one simple and small lamp - that'll drive the darkness away and bring in light and life....

Living this moment!

On living in this moment!

Cry not that it is over, rejoice that it happened! Yes, it is painful that it is over.

Yes, it is better if had not been over.

But, things don’t work out as we wish NOW – they go as per our long forgotten wishes…

We don’t know why we created this present in our past.

We don’t remember why we chose for this future in past.

But we did. And here we are! So, let’s embrace our choice of past and make the most of it so that we create something worthwhile for the future of ours to come ……..

So that tomorrow we have some sweet memories to fall back on…

Yesterday left you with pain.

Yesterday we lost something.

Yesterday left you wanting more.

And today you have option to choose in wallowing in self pity and pain or get up, reassess your present possessions, be happy for WHAT YOU STILL HAVE and be happy with it and make memories with them…..

Choose – choose wisely!

On living life! - The resolve of a believer.......

On living life! - A sadhak's resolve!

I don’t understand many things –

Why this happened and why this didn’t?

Why children are made to suffer and ‘harmful’ adults go ‘scot free’?

Why person who is right is sometimes judged wrong?

Why the ‘wrong doers’ enjoy all the goodies of life while the ‘sincere and righteous’ don’t?

Etc, etc, etc…..

I don’t know many things….

Why natural calamites strike the good and bad alike?

Why the kids and innocent get harmed for no fault of theirs?

When and why death strikes young and healthy and old and bed ridden go on to live well past their prime?

Why simple desires don’t get fulfilled whereas ‘miraculous blessings’ come my way?

I don’t know many things….

I don’t understand many things….

But that’s ok.

HE knows!

If I want to know what HE knows does that not mean I want to be HIM?!?

But then if I become HIM – I mean even if – then who will live my life?

When will I live my life?

Let HIM do HIS job and let me just live now and here!

Life as jigsaw puzzle....

Life as jigsaw puzzle....


As long as we see things and events topically, we'll suffer the pain.....and we'll end up complaining.....

things and events in life don't fall in line one after the other ....they just are a part of the bigger jigsaw puzzle. Only when all the events or most of them have happened can we see the link clearly....

then we see the beauty of the event's "asymmetry" which we term as "bad time" or "painful period" ....

we then understand the usefulness and need for such painful period to complete the picture...then we don't see them as painful period at all...

many times we laugh remembering the 'tough times' and 'cry' looking back at 'good times'...

think about it and then you'll understand what this means.......

Nothing else is in our hands to control. Yes, inspite of all our prayers, fear, anger and desire to control we are nowhere to being controlling our life and its situations. So, lets’ look into ONLY area that we have control over and that is US! So, let’s sit to heal ourselves. Not 10 or 15 mts/day, not couple of hands-on points. No. sincerely, wholly!  If we are not desirous of working for our well-being why should anyone in the world, which includes the GOD whom you consider as your ‘genie’ just because you did some onetime pooja and spent money on that too!

If you are so busy with your life that you can’t take time to heal, then why do you think Universe would think you are serious about your dream/desire/wish?

Think, think well before being angry with your Guru/Reiki or God!

Agreed ‘food’ is in your ‘destiny’. But if you sit as home would food come and crawl into your mouth on its own! I have my doubts there! I believe we have to go out and do our bit to earn and then we get ‘food’ that we are promised by our ‘Destiny’.Likewise, some use it to end up complaining, abusing God/Reiki/Guru feeling self-pity saying ‘I don’t have it in my destiny so no use working for it’.

Read post on Markandeya to learn about destiny and freewill – written earlier.

https://kantipadam.blogspot.com/search?q=markandeya

Whatever be our Destiny – whether we are going to get it or not – either way, the result can be sweet and enjoyable if we heal ‘who we are’ as that would affect the way we project and create our energy field into this Universe. And that in turn affects the events that are to happen in future.

So inspite of pain, anger, frustration, hopelessness, despair, fear, anxiety and related emotions and feeling, sit to heal yourself. Heal the mental state. 

Your situations are not the cause of your state of mind.

Your state of mind is the cause of your situations!

So sit, heal and take charge of one thing which can be controlled by each one of us for sure – our state of mind.
