Sadhan on sunsets

No one can work magic for you! If they say they can, know them to be liars! You need to face your worries yourself. Keep healing your intentions. We fear the outcome because we want to ‘control the outcome’ of our desires. We want to control every single incident in life. The stronger our desire to control the more is our restlessness. The more we are restless, the more we panic or get depressed. And in turn want results immediately as per our desires. That means we lose patience. We become selfish in the process. We become adamant and can’t see any reason. We lose clarity of thought!

Our selfishness doesn’t allow us to think about and for others. We generate dislike and hatred for others in our life. The result – all these negative energy created will give negative situations again and again. We then cry ‘why maam, same thing happening again and again in my life?’ We are not sensible enough to accept and see that we are causing all this energy in our life. Our excuse is ‘but I am doing Reiki as much as I can….’ We do reiki for say one hour and rest 16 hours we are spreading anger, hatred, dislike and selfish energies. What do you think happens then? How do you think this will work?

As you do Reiki, also work on your attitude.

Points to remember :

Always remember We are in the hurry to reach the "next station" of our life - ALWAYS! We assume that is the station where HAPPINESS  is??!! NO! It is just our assumption. Work for your goals and desires. But HAPPINESS IS RIGHT HERE AND NOW WITH YOU. If you can't be happy NOW you won't be happy even after reaching station of your choice! Go back to your every station of life - school, college, job, marriage, promotion, kids, investments, travel etc.....

In the end it doesn't matter how many breaths you took.
What would matter is 'how many moments took your breath away'.

Each one of us has just '24' hours in a day! Unfortunately it is same every day of our life! What makes one life different from others is how 'rich we are with moments that took our breath away'?

Be very stingy when it comes to the quality of breath that you take...
Be committed to make it 'special' and a 'wow moment' to you...and you don't need that 'special' person or 'thing' (like house, promotion, good boss/colleague, money, or an ideal place or time) to make it 'special' for yourself....

Decide to 'drop precious moments' each day in your 'time bank'.
Yes. Treat Time as a bank where you have opened an account and make a commitment to yourself that you would deposit atleast a dozen of 'wow moments' in that account at the end of the day...

don't try too hard....don't be tensed to create one too! just be!

A wow moment need not be a ' perfect moment' or a 'good moment' (I mean the way it is usually defined).

For eg. you have a meeting an important one and you need to go in time. You are caught in rain and traffic jam and your dress has gone for a toss! Now can you make that a 'wow moment'?

If yes, you have learnt the 'art of living' and 'art of celebrating life'.

Let us look at one more situation that can be converted into 'wow moment'.

You meet someone after long gap and you are very happy to meet him and run /walk with excitement to talk to him and he turns around, looks at you and says 'God you really have put on lots of weight/ you really have lost your looks/ what's happened to you?' or similar (insulting/hurting ) statement. Can  you make that a 'wow moment'?

Will give few such moments when you can turn them into 'wow moments -

when someone comes up to you and says -
...heard about your loss. (financial/job/death ) . how did it happen? how are you coping with it now? how are you managing?
....heard that your child's not getting 'right alliance'. why so?
don't you want to get your child married? not looking for alliance for your child?....etc...
....heard you had a divorce...what's the reason?

all such similar situations we want to say 'oh, shut up' i don't want your 'empty sympathy' and we usually lose our cool/ peace of mind/get hurt and feel bad and depressed......but the name of the game is to celebrate life 'inspite of and even in these situations'. Then don't you think we can have more of wow incidents in our lives........

share your responses or 'how you handle this situation to convert that into wow moments' ........if you haven't faced it then suggestions as to how to handle it better......

decided to celebrate life .........i can't let others ruin it for me!

forget about later...live now!
celebrate now!
make this breath 'take away your breath moment!'
