Gratitude and success
Just, few days before
lockdown around 2nd week of March, a reiki channel attended a
marriage. Last week the groom – the boy died.
A girl aged around 22
yrs died of severe heart attack couple of days back.
Both were planning ahead for years to come and yet........
Both in their twenties
and died of heart attack. As Warren Buffet said “if we survive through this
covid times, know to be successful”. So true!
Just because we are
alive and kicking, we take life for granted and look for irrelevant ‘minor
reasons and issues’ in our life to cry and complain about our suffering! Don’t!
Don’t take life for
granted! No one’s given that guarantee. Anything that happens apart from
existence is ‘bonus’. Existence is not a must – especially now!
Now – just existence is
worth a celebration!
Look away from minor
differences in relationships.
Look away from minor
setbacks in life.
Look away from counting
those pennies.
If we survive we can
always earn more than our need tomorrow. Celebrate just existing!
No need to even count
your blessings!
If you are alive – even
today that exactly is worth a celebration. And that reason is worth a
celebration every single day!
Imagine a scenario. You
are in ‘containment ward’ and you are with a person on ventilator. He has just
few hours to live. Now you tell him your problems and cause of your suffering,
what do you think he would say?
If he was ready to
switch places with you, would it not be nice for you?
Now, the question is
would you switch places with him? Why?
Contd....
questions addressed :
- How to be happy when things don't go as per my desire?
- How to get the person to do as I want him to since my happiness depends on his action /inaction in my life?
Points to be noted :
- We take what we have for granted as we are looking at things that we lack. First, let us evaluate, validate, value and appreciate all things that we have in life. These were the people and things that we asked for sometime back and still, today with them in our lives we are no more happy than yesterday......many times we are more sad - if that is possible than yesterday.
- That goes to show that 'all that we say we crave for' need not necessarily give us happiness as we presume them to. We THINK they do and crave for them. No person and thing can give us happiness if it is lacking in us.
- If I am a miserable person I'll not be happy even in heaven.
- And a contended person will be happy even in hell.
- Work on the state of mind and then every thing and every person in life will become cause of your happiness in life.
