I am Dying

Everyday we are dying . The moment you hear this it might jolt you and you might start cursing me . But as you read through you will realize what I meant.

All of us has been told how to live, how to behave, how to do things and the list goes on . And what exactly  are we doing during this whole process ?  we  dwell  on  others ideas while killing our own  that  means we are  not living !

God has created each one with a  unique ability and we fail to see it and follow others . In short we are like the herd of sheep which follows the flock without knowing whether we are going to be  killed or left alive.

And when a calamity strikes in form of losing job, a loved one, money due to earthquake , panademic etc we try to find a way out and start thinking differently.

"Dying" in this context is used a as a metaphor to define what we fail to know, learn and look at and then get depressed or pity ourselves. in short a reactive approach to life,  although in our jobs we speak of proactively handling a situation and fail to apply the same learning here.

So what is that we need to learn or change about ourselves .

Learn to Filter and Rationalize your thoughts  - 

Our mind has always been fickle . There are lots of thoughts running through it , that can be positive or negative . So its important that we filter the thoughts and focus on thoughts that make us happy or help us being a better human  

Stop Complaining - 

Complaining has never helped us . It just connects us with our past thoughts and if we go on complaining, it will create a bad image about us . Complaining will never help us in finding a solution but will make a small problem look bigger. As situations become tough , we feel a urge to complain but if we stop and look for alternates we may get out of the thought.

Smile -

Smile is a five letter word which will not bring peace to our mind and refresh our thoughts but will also reflect this to others who will come in contact with you . This is build good relationships and we will in the process find us and help other to find themselves

Do your Karma -  

Do your Karma and don't wait for the results . This is a important verse from Bhagavad Gita . It just says that life is unpredictable the only thing that we can control is Karma , the results are never in our hands its the almighty to process it . 

Family first - 

We do give time to office , friends , acquaintances and may in the journey of life. But We need to realise that the people who has always being standing and will be standing with you during tough times is your FAMILY . So it becomes our duty to ensure we are available for them especially our parents 

Respect your Parents -

Our Parents are what made us what we are today so it becomes our primary responsibility to respect them and take care of them without any expectations . As during our childhood the one thing that kept us going is there unconditional Love 

Engage in your Hobbies - 

As we tread through life our focus is mainly to make a career , make money and build castle of sand . In this process we forget our identity and hobbies actually define what we are . These are small things which keep us happy and may become a way to create income as well . So finding some time to engage in hobbies will keep our mind at peace and keep ius away from evil thoughts 

Learn something New -

Learning is an ongoing process . It just keep our mind alert and young . Learning something new doesn't always mean read books on topics related to your work , rather it is a process to learn anything that can be music, dance etc. 

Learn Patience and Perseverance -  

Success has always come to those who have been patient in tough times and built self via perseverance . There are times when anything can go wrong but the if we are able to be patient life becomes a bit easy 

Silence is Golden - 

Sometimes it is better to be Silent even though we have a urge to argue or put our thoughts across. Because life becomes easier if we practice harmony . Relations are some times more important than the harsh truth .

In short lets learn to live by practicing certain constraint and practicing gratitude by accepting whatever Life throws at us .
