Surviving a Trial January 7, 2010

Trials are a part and parcel of life. How we choose to look at the trials in our life, is what really matters. And it is this attitude that changes our life. Makes  us happier people than hateful.

We have our best moments and our share of doomsday moments. But every trial is a long race. Surviving it is the goal. The Medallion. In the run for this medallion there will be hurdles, that’ll trip us over, scratch our knee, make our ankles bleed. But keeping in mind that no matter what, and even if things are moving slow, we will survive – is the indomitable spirit each of us have. This spirit, helps us undermine the hurdles.

With the passage of every trial in life, we sense the difference in us. People close to us also do. We all come out as stronger people. Better people. Mature people.

(But hey! people dont need to suffer trials to become nicer or more mature… thas not what i’m saying!! LOL! Some of us are born saints!)

To come up with this lengthy post, I’ve also had to suffer various trials of my own. None of them remotely bearable, but I kept my spirit alive thinking, ‘there will be a tomorrow’.  Yes, I’ve learned many things the hard way, but in the end I feel like a better person.

 

Heaven/Hell October 26, 2009

Heaven and Hell are a state of mind. After years of debating with myself on the topic of – Heaven and Hell : Do they exist? and Do good and go to Heaven; Sin and collect your passport to Hell, I’ve understood what I needed to understand.

It’s true we are built with a soul, a conscience that comes to life when we do. As a result of which, we spend our life in the quest for roots and belief and God.

We celebrate the good and want to make sense of all things catastrophic, mean, painful, storms, hurricanes, crime…

Which leads us to asking the question, where do we want to be when we die?

Why don’t we ask ourselves this instead – Where do we want to be while we are alive?

Heaven or Hell.

Heaven is created by what we perceive of reality. It is created by our actions and a mind willing to be happy.

Hell is also created by what we perceive of reality. And our actions and a mind unwilling to be happy.

-You can light a candle or curse the darkness.
-You can measure a glass as half full or half empty.
-You can choose to admire the rose or destroy it because it has thorns.

I believe you have got my point.
