Year end of 2018

(contd)

Year end of 2018

Now coming to ‘year end’ – do we see it as ‘an end’ of this year or is it the ‘beginning’ of new year?

Because, if we see it as an end (or for that matter of anything in life) then it is painful and letting go becomes difficult and heavy! But if we see it as a new beginning, there is hope, expectations, joy and celebration. Think about it! 

So how do we see it as?

As an end of as a new beginning?

Neither! See it as a continuation – like a serpent eating its tail! A circle – a circle of life and events! Come to see of it - Every end brings with it a new beginning. Just go back and look at your every end that you suffered then! Your school, college or a job – you suffered because it ended but it also brought with it a new beginning that you cherished and loved later on. Isn’t it?

End of childhood – youth

End of youth – adult life

See it in various situations and with various people. It is same. The happy person is one who accepts this as he knows this to be the fact of life and moves with it and embraces the ‘new’ with joy and openness instead of being closed and fearful of the new. Be it situations or people every new change will bring with it new dynamics and new way of working, living and thereby growing and learning opportunities. Resist it and suffer the process. Fear of change is the cause of this resistance. But a flexible mind and heart doesn’t demand the ‘same’ old way of living and experiencing from the new. Where is the suffering then?

Think about it!


Comments?

and lastly, what are the milestones you wish to cross this coming year?

Year end of 2018

Year end of 2018 

‘Year end’ - Once again the time has come for this period of year!

And what an year it had been!

Time to say good bye this year and celebrate the coming of next year! 

Goodbye carries with it packet full of promises kept, resolutions held on to, dreams lived, relationships mended, joys and achievements celebrated, memories made. 

With the success tales are some dreams unfulfilled, persons and hope lost, resolutions broken and few regrets thrown in too!

And what better time than now for some introspection....so...

What does your life story hold vis-a-vis this year?

What are your achievements and joys?

What are the memories you made this year? 

What are your strengths that you have realized, worked on or gained this year?

What are your weaknesses you overcame this year? 

What is the lesson this year has taught you?

What did you give this year?

What are the lessons from this year that you wish to carry forward next year which will make your next year a better one than this one?

What are the milestones that you crossed this year?

On the whole how would you sum up this year?

Milestone moment - 273 posts so far!

Crossing one more milestone by way of completing posts this year…

Yes, we have crossed the milestone of 2018 that of 273 posts…kudos to that….

Should we celebrate this? Why not? If we wait to celebrate only when ‘our goal’ (that of having our wish fulfilled!!) then we will have very less number of times to celebrate. Then, what is the purpose of having lived such long years? So, while working towards our goal, while waiting for future to express itself, while waiting for our dreams to become a reality, let’s celebrate the little milestones along the journey. Right? That way, we’ll have more number of reasons and moments to celebrate and cherish. What say?

So, go out there and prepare a sweet dish that you can and share it with the people you live with. The more the number of people you share greater is the joy you’ll experience. Your restricting the number of people that you’ll share it with for what so ever the reason is the deciding factor of your ‘joy meter’. Know that and act accordingly….

How do we see this incident?

Contd....

# milestones, celebrating the journey, goals and achievements, happiness, living life completely, abundance, moments of life,

Participation time :

I try out various 'colours' ( there is a reason for each colour selected of course....), links given, questions posed, suggesting healing techniques and many more such things....

they keep changing and lots of mix-n-match is also done in this area....

feel free to suggest changes that you are comfortable to see like some colour that is not good for your eyes or so....

i'll look into the suggestions and make corrections where i can and as soon as i can....

you are the one at the receiving end - if you don't participate in atleast in these basic things, then you have live with what is given to you - this applies to every section of your life....

Change!

On Change!

Are we comfortable with the known 'devil' than an unknown 'angel'?

'Devil' here meaning the known people (with attitudes we are not comfortable with), jobs that we are complaining about and the situations that make us look like 'poor things!'

'Angel' here means 'unknown yet but good or right people' whom we are not open to receiving in life!
-Job that we dream of getting or desire to work for or say we deserve
-situations that we wish were part of our 'poor sad lives'!?


Are we afraid of change?
If so why?
Are we imagining most of it or is it for real?
What is our 'fear' of change based on?

think, think about it!


#change, certain, let go, pain and suffering, choices
