Treasure hunt: within u..

We are searching for our mobile, our keys, kajal, spoons, pens, chocolates, addresses etc. But have we ever tried to search within us, it is the biggest ever hunt and journey which once undertaken doesn't end for a long time. One must have lot of courage while this hunt begin, for from the time the thought arises we are faced with our ourselves.                  

                      

              There are so many speed breakers, so many potholes, pitholes and dents, which we encounter. You have so many clues while the hunt is on, this is the best part of this hunt. Sometimes we feel as if we have reached the dead end, that is the real challenge . We need to know the difference between end and the turn in the road. Our understanding of the clues are also quite tricky. The way we understand is the way our hunt takes a turn. 

           A second option and thorough brain storming is essential before we come to any conclusion about our next clue. When we begin it happens aimlessly, later atleast while the journey is progressing if we don't get an idea as to what is it that we are aiming at, this disrupts our life, daily living and therefore the whole hunt collapses. When we know what we know the hunt becomes more clearly. 

                         

        But the trick is how do we know that what we have find is the right treasure we searching for?? When u get up each morning and think about that aim, it should give you a push to live happy and when u sleep that aim should give u satisfaction. 

                 Of all these things, the right treasure is that in which ur PASSION is involved, wherein the mind body and soul work together to achieve this aim. Hence that treasure which gives u happiness is your treasure which u need to hunt for... Hence lots of wishes and luck for ur hunt.. Its not too late..begin now also...before ur no more..    -maya

Ugly duckling....the hidden truth...

The reality of being us..hits us hard when we are confronted by the reality of us as what we are. This realization sometime happens through a line, a song, a word, a person... hmmm the most sensitive of all these is when we realise due to a person. That is when life is seen to us in a very different angle an angle which we never thought could also exist in us. When we see only the good, bad, sad, happy, joy, elation, bliss...wow so many emotions, but we fail to recognize that other than this body ur a soul...this soul is the real U, but we are lost so much in this self which we posses that the souls potential is locked in forever. Like the famous story of the ugly duckling, which was thoroughly criticised, almost hated by everyone and an outcast. For the last time before it left the farm that was when it saw it’s reflection in the waters. After which  it continued to live in a lake...eventually as days went by it grew up and one day another swan was going by it looked at the “Ugly Duckling” (UD) and said “oh my goodness!! What a beautiful swan it is...the UD heard this...ad for the first time..again it looked at its reflection in the waters. What is saw was the most magnificent ever sawn..two min later it realised that swan was it..In itself... All of us are also like this...hiding behind our our..fears...and prejudices about our own self. We need to break out, come out of our comfort zones and embrace life. While the on going journey teaches us so much to learn, lets not let ourselves to be defined by the words of the world, rather assert urself...be bold, courageous and forget not...to love urself...as all of us are having a ugly duckling....in some aspect or the other, heal urself...transform into the person ur...truly beautiful and magnificent.

I want to kill myself: A thought which has crossed all of our minds

        Irrespective of the age today’s day the biggest defence mechanism. “I will do away with my life; I will be done with all these worries, pain and problems”. Now the question is “whether is it normal to think so? Are we abnormal??”

But then what we fail to realise that actually when that thought comes and we give in for some time and then we are living the next day. Sublimely we have ignored that the effort we take to live that next moment has actually killed that negative in you and you have lived through. “U, won the battle”.

This though doesn’t come coz we are weak, it comes when u think Ur weak. A thought makes u weak, so feel good; this is the difference we need to find out between our feelings and thinking.

Our thoughts and feelings when they are not in congruence we feel sad. We all how much ever we may deny we have two voice within us. They are at war with each other, and its our responsibility to strike a balance and homogeneity.

Now how do we know, what we are feeling and thinking? There is a line which i hug close to my heart “emotions – YES; emotional drama – NO”. I shall say u a small anecdote;  Janaki a friend of mine, once i was at her place to bond over a cup of coffee. She was placed the vessel with milk on the stove and we were lost in our conversation. After few in we heard a loud cry from the kitchen, it was her husband “Janu the milk has over flown.... Why are u so careless?” janaki rushed to the kitchen i followed. Janaki’s response shook for i was sure the way her husband yelled at her, knowing her i felt she would yell back. But she just looked at him and said “I am also seeing that the milk has over flown, and then will ur yelling at me fill the vessel with milk? No right!!! Then why blow ur lungs out at me?” her husband looked at her and just left in silence.

Now we are also overcome with emotions and give into them that is why our rationality is overcome by emotions. Janu was very careful after that episode she learnt something, not only learning she has remembered her learning and applied it. Thus due to stressful situations or lack of resources narrowing down we think of giving up and come to a non functional stage. When hopeless feeling, and helpless thinking combine they give way to the unforgivable sin. We are all beautiful creatures, a one time chance to live it up... as i always say.. life is too short for anything to remain constantly in life... “CHANGE IS THE VERY ESSENCE OF LIFE” embrace it..           -maya
