Dose of Thought

Worry does not empty tomorrow of its troubles, it empties today of its strength.

-- Karan Parwani 

Always Begging

We throw our feelings out at all,
In a need to feel the ego's call,
Attention attention now everyone,
A want to get noticed by anyone.

It doesn't matter if it's good or bad,
The good attention in plenty we've had,
Some bad attention we don't really mind,
As long as the ego gets all it finds.

Always begging, we want some connection,
Always begging, we're looking for attention,
Always begging, please pay some heed,
Always begging, notice your ego indeed.

-- Karan Parwani

Spirituality & Kids

In today's world, look at what we are teaching our kids today. We all want your children to grow into successful humans, securing a good job, making money and want them to be far ahead in the race of life. We will try to make them an all rounder, by making them join cricket, tennis, football, chess, drawing, maths, English and all kinds of extra-curricular activities. We feel that all these qualities will make them a perfect human being. 

But we have stopped emphasizing on teaching our children moral values and spirituality. Without these two basic qualities, not everyone can make it very far in life. Without the moral values the child might think it is alright the take short cuts in life and climb over another person to become successful. Without spirituality they may not have the will power, confidence or a positive attitude to face challenges in life and not just at a work place. We must think if we are preparing our children for the life to come or merely for one task of life.

Think Think ...

Don't go through life, grow through life.

Dress Your Soul

Our hair looks nice, with face so bright,
The eyes are clear, green lens is here,
But our soul looks plain, with only a name,
No dress for the soul, that is the game.

We must look good, and must look clean,
But the soul remains in a dull low beam,
The soul needs a dress, the soul needs time,
Like the same you give your outer shine.

So look within and give your soul,
Thoughts of pearls and words of gold,
Dress it up, make it look all bright,
The soul will fly high like a kite.

-- Karan Parwani

Priorities In Life

A professor once took a big glass jar and put a few big stones into it, until it was full. He then asked the students if the jar was full. They replied Yes. Then he put in a few pebbles, shook the jar and the pebbles settled in. Then he asked his students again if the jar was full. They replied Yes. Then he took some sand and put it into the jar and repeated his question. The students answered Yes. Now if you had filled the jar with sand first, there would be no space for anything.

Now consider that the jar is your life. The big stones are your important things, family, partner, health and children. And consider the small stones were your job, car, etc. all the material things of life, not as important as the big stones. If only the big stones were in your life, it would still be considered full. But if you realize we fill our lives with small stones and sand first, stressing on everything small and not as important in our lives. Take care of the big rocks first and set your priorities in life.

Qualities

We attract hearts by the qualities we display,
but we retain hearts by the qualities we possess.
