Moving ahead...

There was a time, back in schooldays, when I used to think what fun it is for grown-ups without having to go through the ordeal of exams. Well, I have grown up now but don't seem to miss out on exams. Rain or shine, each day is a test for you! The metrics might have changed-patience, love, worthiness, spiritedness.......but exams constantly challenge you.
I used to think in the past: What if I am out of the line and fail badly? What if these exams leave me high and dry restricting my constantly-seeking spirit? What if...? What if...?
But, everything seems to make sense now. It's really ok to fail when it comes to learning. I mean, somebody up there will not be testing you had you known all the answers, right? There are times when we wrong and just don't get it right!
Here comes an antidote for those who want to keep it real-re-define SUCCESS and move ahead in life.

Give peace a chance!

Yesterday night, I was watching this incredible documentary on martial arts (as practised in the finishing school for Buddhist monks, much like those movies you might have watched in The Temple of Shaolin, etc.) in Discovery. The only thing that struck me odd and yet beautiful was the spirit of fighting. The art of 'self-defense', as they call it, is nothing but a clever strategy to stop a confrontation with your enemy-to take your enemy to a point where he does not have to take his gun out of the pocket and shoot you. How thoughtful is that! Now, where exactly can we apply such a strategy in our daily lives which somehow, however disliked, keep getting entangled in futile arguments? How to make people realize that if you really want to give peace a chance you must be at peace yourself? Does that mean that you would not voice out your protest when justice is at stake? No, definitely not! All you have to do is just believe in the sanctity of your heart that keeps pricking you every time when you have lost self-control.

Doing things differently

Those of you, who have been suffering from the monotony of daily chores, whether at home or in office, wake up. So many times have I read about doing things differently than doing different things in life. A single idea can break you or make you, they say. But all it takes is to believe in yourself!
Last night, I had a strange dream....I dreamt of flying. Whoa! What has idea gotta to do with it? Nothing, but somehow when I gave a serious thought to it I realized that this is my inner soul, Imagination@work. It wants to break free, wants to challenge me of great heights, would I want to go that far? I don't know, but I guess it just leaves me with one thought......have I flown high today? Have I had the courage to do things differently? Have I felt the open blue sky in front of me, ready-to-explore and set myself free from me? I am yet to find out!

Night flight to Venus? Maybe not but the soul fighters want to bring it on.
