On valentine's Day! For valentine's day!

On valentine's Day! For valentine's day!

Further to our post https://kantipadam.blogspot.com/2022/01/on-valentines-day-for-valentines-day.html there were many queries - am posting one of the 'love you declarations' - this should answer your queries....

This is the format you need to send your posts....

keep it simple and explain why you have chosen that person....

don't make a lengthy mail....

don't send albums (of photos) just one would do...

Now - what is love and what is that we are sharing here?

If there is confusion regarding 'love' then understand it this way - love encompasses all feelings and expressions of - affection, sharing, caring, concern, support, being there, strength and so on....

You may not have love for anyone in particular - but still you must have seen flashes of love, expressions of love through and in acts of people in your life in their simple every day acts....there are acts of selfless ones showered upon us by the people whom we take for granted in our life. We assume 'they are supposed to do that for us' and in that feeling of 'entitlement' we miss out on 'seeing love' in their acts.........time we wake up!!!

if you have, then you have felt love, you have received love and shared love with that person or thing....

hope this explanation is clear...????

Since the participation is immediate and more, I want to start posting your emails from today onwards - hope that is ok with you all? That would mean there is slight change of plans - i said in the previous post that i would be posting your replies from 14th but instead let's be 'in love' till valentine's day...all thanks to your immediate response......

in a single mail please write about only one person in your life......

P.S : I am going to mark all these posts as "The love angels in My Life" so that it will be easy for all of you to go through them in one go at a later day....

This is the name that cropped up for me - if you have any better suggestion - give will name these posts so if they gel well....till then these posts will be named so......

One more point - since it is 'cut paste' from your email - you will find the portion with white marked background - don't know how to make it right so am keeping it that way ....sorry for the 'not so good look'....

On valentine's Day! For valentine's day!

 

On valentine's Day! For valentine's day!

February 14th is Valentine's day. Let's celebrate it - our way too!

You celebrate it your way. Apart from that - ALSO celebrate it our way...

You have 15 days to go.......Just make a list of people in your life - right from childhood whom you have loved or still love.....(We are not talking about crush, affair or physical one here)...we are talking about love.....

Pick up at least one person whom you loved or who loved you 

OR

one person you love or who loves you...

Anyone or anything which or with whom you experienced love the most - share that - with photo - if possible to my mail and I'll put that up in blog...

let's say 'I love you' to the person who made it happen in our life in their special way by talking about them, sharing about them and validating about their love and expression of their love .....

I hope it is clear???!!!

Please send your mails by 12th feb so that I can sort it and post it in blog from 14th onwards....

please put aside your laziness for once aside and do it at the earliest.....

Helen Keller on hope!

 

Helen Keller on hope!

Helen Keller - born deaf and blind and hence ended up being dumb too - was an inspiration even to the national leaders of the world at that time!!!

What does that say?

What does her life and her character reflect?

How are we to benefit from that?

Is inspiration only a 'wow word'?

Why is she a success and yet we are nothing but a bundle of complaints, grievances, resentment, hurt, frustrations, hopelessness, pity and what not?

What is that she has and we don't?

Know this little secret of life and Universe and achieve all that you wish to achieve.....

Where will you apply it?

Where did you miss out of applying in life and how it end up being?

What did you understand from this?

Is it asking us to be lazy?

Is it saying 'don't do anything'?

Is it suggesting us to become complacent - a la' chaltha hai attitude?

I was 'aware' of the numbers below 300000 and felt it would take months before it hits this number and yet....

I didn't even notice that it has touched this number - kudos to us!!!!! Yes, we have touched 300000 page views before today - already!!!!

You are answerable to none. You are in competition to none. So, get up every single time and be a winner each time. Keep up the effort.

So, it is with ‘savings’. Even in financial matters it is possible our ‘plan chart’ make face a bump. No problem there! Just keep going with your job and your plans. Just keep working on your finances. Just keep saving as much as you can. Don’t take pressure there. When you look back say 5 years down the line, it all would have added up more better than you had feared and thought. Just don’t forget your sadhan in this area too!

So, you see like this in every area and in every way you can apply this quote and ‘realize that nothing is got right with one fight…we need to fight our nature, attitude and situations to overcome them in the long run…..

So, tighten your seat belt – yeh ladaai lambi chalne waali hai…waise bhi kise jaldi hai.

This fight is going to go for a long time to come….but then what’s the hurry…

We have all the time in the world…

If you are married and with kid, think twice before jumping into decisions. Any decision taken effects not only you but also the kid for ever....if all you had was to think about yourself then why bring a child into this world? Child is not 'the candy' or a 'leverage' against your partner. Don't use them as so! Child is not raised to get even with in-laws too! Don't work on their accomplishments so that you can show them off to the world....

Only right we have over child is to love and take care of them. Everyone who gives birth doesn't become a good parent automatically. Think about it!

In marriage we think we are fighting with the other to stay married. NO, my dear, we are fighting with our ego (all the parties involved) to stay married. Then who should let go off their ego? The one who is right or one who is wrong would be the usual question.....I would always have only one answer - "The one who loves more should let go and make all efforts to heal and mend the situation"

Similarly, in the battle with ‘self’ everytime we make a commitment to do ‘regular sadhan’ we fail within couple of days. That’s ok! Just don’t stop there! Start over again. You are losing to your own self. See, the ‘winner’ is also you ONLY. So, where is the question of shame, anger, feeling bad, thinking ‘I don’t have it in me’ etc…? Every time you give up or stop the sadhan, the moment you realize, start it again. It doesn’t matter how many times you stop, break or fail. Get up more number of times than that! Make getting up your nature. ‘Not a quitter’ should be your tag line.

"You have to fight more than once to win it”

Now, where do I use this?

Where ever and whenever I feel I have ‘lost'. It can be in a relationship. If there is a bump in a relationship, then take time to look within. See all that can be corrected instead of all that is wrong in it. It is easy to give up on a relationship especially marriage but to make it work needs effort atleast from one partner.

It is appreciated by people years down the line when you get to hear "wow - married for 25/50 etc years, that's wonderful". These words just don't happen to people. Every marriage went through downs and painful times. But they looked at small achievements of their marriage and kept working on it. They didn't give up. They felt many times like the target they had set for their spouse and marriage is not even close and yet (like me in June with 85 posts.!!!) they kept making their effort and lo! at the evening of their life, they reaped the benefit of the same....they made it with lots of patience and lessons learnt. They learnt what marriage was all about. They learnt to forgive and move on. They learnt to accept the other with flaws. They learnt to give and share. Many more such lessons from at least one partner maketh a good marriage.
