Let's be happy now!

We should be honest with ourselves; we should admit and accept that which we didn’t do well and right, or the mistakes that we have made in our life. But at the same time we should be equally honest about all the things we have done well and right as it would give strength to overcome whatever adversity we are facing presently. We should be able to embrace and accept and appreciate that all the times we didn’t screw up, all the times we didn’t get it wrong, all the times we didn’t make a mess of something.  

There’s just learning how to live with yourself, learning how to be yourself, learning how to be happy being who you are, what you are, the way you are right now. It’s so important to enjoy the moment. Yes, we can strive for more and be on a path to have more, but we should never be in “deferred gratification” mode where we have the mentality of “well I’m going to be happy later if I work real hard now.” No! Let’s be happy now.

LESSON FROM SAND TIMER!

You know, there are a couple of question that always have the same answer. Where are you? What time is it? If a person is telling you the truth they’ll always answer, “I’m here” and “It’s now.” But we waste an awful lot of our lives living in the imagined future or the dead past. We keep a Sand Timer in front of us and think about this for a moment: If we let the sand in the glass represent our lifetime, the sand on the top of the glass would represent the future and the sand in the bottom of the glass would represent the past. And we have no idea how much sand we have left in the top of the glass. Let's take couple of examples. There was a old lady aged 70 years and she used to say that, “I’ll soon be gone, I’ll soon be gone.” And do you know something? Everyone thought she was never going to go. She lived to be ninety years and the angels just came and took her away one night in her sleep. She thought she had just a little sand, but she actually had a lot. Let's ...

FORGIVE!

Very Nice Poem! “That slight misdeed of yesterday, why should it mar today? The thing one said, the thing you did, have long since passed away; For yesterday was but a trial; today you will succeed, And from mistakes of yesterday will come some noble deed. Forgive yourself for thoughtlessness, do not condemn the past; For it is gone with its mistakes; their mem’ry cannot last; Forget the failures and misdeed, from such experience rise, Why should you let your head be bowed? Lift up your heart and eyes!” - Unknown

DETACH AND LET GO!

Detach from the physical world. Be part of the daily activity of life but not enslaved by it. Do not allow your happiness or peace of mind to depend on anything outside of your spirit including the acquisition of material things, the attainment of fulfilling relationships, or the approval or agreement of others. If you are attached to striving to control what you actually cannot in an attempt to achieve joy and a sense of well-being, you are forever doomed . Let go of the need for such manipulation, and do not waste time lamenting or suffering over what is not going your way-nor clinging to notions that circumstances should be other than what they are. Life is what it is. You may have your preferences and choose to create something else if you do not like what you are experiencing, but do not squander hours agonizing over what is not going your way. Detachment is an attitude that chooses peace of mind over struggling against the world. It means accepting what is without wastin...
