Cause and Effect

A life without cause is a life without effect

Failure

If you fail don't worry, it’s not the end,
You will have a chance to do it again,
Never give up, on things you do,
Life is long, you will pull through.

You learnt it hard, which will do you good,
You will definitely shine better than you would,
So take that failure and move ahead,
You will come out stronger than every head.

Don't take this failure out of your life,
It will make you stronger, and fly high as a kite,
Failure helps you learn greater details of life,
Failure is not wrong, unless you take it right.

All the art of living, lies in a fine balance of letting go and holding on.

Lost or Learnt

Look around you, and think about what you have lost in life. When we lose something we are too pre-occupied with crying about the loss. But we never seem to understand what we have learnt from that. Life is teaching us all the time, sometimes we learn the hard way.

But it is for us to truly understand the learning from that loss. Nothing lasts forever, what comes in this world must go, we must keep telling ourselves this every now and then. This will keep us less connected to things around us, at the same time not hurt as much when we lose something.

So you need to ask a question, that have you really lost something in life or really learnt something from life?

Dose of Thought

When people yearn with all their hearts,
For just one treasure far away,
They close their eyes to countless joys,
That crowd around them every day.

It happens to everyone

There are times when some bad happens to us and we ask the question, why me? But we don't understand is that is happens to everyone. All are tested in their life.

A woman was greatly sorrowful because of the death of her little son. She went from house to house holding her dead son piteously and begging someone to give him medicine that would bring him back to life. A wise man advised her to go to the Baba, who was nearby lecturing. She stood at the edge of the crowd, her dead son on her hip, and cried, "Oh Exalted One, give me medicine that will bring my son back to life."

The Baba replied, "Very well, but you must fetch me mustard seeds from a house in which no-one has died." She went forthwith to all the houses in town, but at each door she was told, "We would gladly give you seeds, but since you say you may take them only from a house in which no-one has died, then we must disappoint you. So many people have died in this house." Finally she returned to the Baba. "So, did you bring mustard seeds?" he asked. "I am finished with mustard seeds".

Everyone has a bad patch in life, which actually are only testing times. If we make through it, we learn to cope with such situations. Which in future is not so bad for us as we have experience in the same. In the given moment we are so lost with the fact that we are facing a difficult time, that we never realize the fact we are not the only one. It's amazing that when something good happens to us, we never seem to ask the question, why me?

Feeling Light

Life has right and life has wrong,
That shouldn't stop you from moving on,
The right will push, the wrong will pull,
Believe in yourself, you won't make a fool.

Take some time, throw it all away,
All the feelings out into the bay,
Then take a moment and realize,
Your heart which was heavy now feels light.

The good in life will come and go,
The bad in life will try to take more,
But your feeling light, controls your life,
And brings you success in every fight.
