Just an advice...

Stop comparing yourself with other people...

There will always be some people who have more than you and some who have less. If you play the comparison game, you'll run into too many "opponents" you can't defeat...
Just keep one thing in mind that no one is perfect in this world except of God who created us all. God have gifted each of us something special in us that make us different from others like someone is good in writing, some are good in painting and so on...

So point is just to find out, polish and highlight our that God gifted quality and be confident and thankful to God for it. This is the only thing that can bring you internal satisfaction and keep you safe from this comparison tension..


..so keep yourself cool and have nice times ...

Everything in life....

Everything in life is temporary…
Darkness of the night or brightness of the day,
Smile or tears in your eyes,
Even sunrise is temporary… And so is sunset.
If things are going good enjoy it… It won't last forever
And if things are going bad
Don't worry coz it won't last forever either.
Everything just passes by even our life…
So think positive & enjoy as it is all due to you…

Decisions in our life...

There are basically two organs gifted by God that help us to take decisions in life, one is our ‘brain’ and another one is our ‘heart’. Decisions made by our brain are more calculated, practical and reliable as they are based on facts, logics, evidences and realities. Whereas on the other hand our heart goes with feelings like love, sympathy, care, etc.

This is a fact that our happiness is more linked with our heart and our success is mostly linked with our brain decisions but decisions made collectively with both brain and heart are the best decisions that bring us happiness & success both. I have seen several successful people around who go with their brain and always been calculative in taking decisions whether it’s related to their business/work life or related to their relationships but this is also true that most of them are not satisfied and happy. Brain is not an appropriate decision maker in all cases or matters of life sometimes we do need to listen to our heart as well especially while taking any decisions related to our relationships.

Some Great Thoughts...

* Maybe God wants us to meet a few wrong people before meeting the right one so that when we finally meet the right person, we will know how to be grateful for that gift.

* When the door of happiness closes, another opens, but often times we look so long at the closed door that we don't see the one which has been opened for us.

* The best kind of friend is the kind you can sit on a porch and swing with, never say a word, and then walk away feeling like it was the best conversation you've ever had.

* It's true that we don't know what we've got until we lose it, but it's also true that we don't know what we've been missing until it arrives.

* Giving someone all your love is never an assurance that they'll love you back! Don't expect love in return; just wait for it to grow in their heart but if it doesn't, be content it grew in yours. It takes only a minute to get a crush on someone, an hour to like someone, and a day to love someone, but it takes a lifetime to forget someone.

* Don't go for looks; they can deceive. Don't go for wealth; even that fades away. Go for someone who makes you smile because it takes only a smile to make a dark day seem bright. Find the one that makes your heart smile.

* May you have enough happiness to make you sweet, enough trials to make you strong, enough sorrow to keep you human, enough hope to make you happy.

Be Positive...

I have received this in a forward mail and found it worth sharing so here it is for all my readers here, hope you all gonna like it too.

If someone should hurt you
and say a thing unkind,
Remember what I write to you,
and keep these thoughts in mind.

For everyone that makes you cry,
there are three to make you smile,
And a smile will last for a long, long time,
but a tear just a little while.

Don't let someone who hates the world
cause you to hate it too,
Behind the clouds is a Golden sun,
and a sky that's full of Blue.

If someone said a thing that's cruel,
don't let it get to you,
Your achievements are greatly numbered,
and your faults are very few.

So if a certain person should act a certain way,
Think of those who love you.

AND DON'T LET IT SPOIL YOUR DAY!

How God want to use problems…

I always use to think that if God love us that much then why He brings us problems in life? I thought deeply about it and realized that the problems we face will either defeat us or develop us - depending on how we respond to them. Unfortunately, most people fail to see how God wants to use problems for good in their lives. They react foolishly and resent their problems rather than pausing to consider what benefit they might bring.Here are few ways God wants to use the problems in our life:

1. To DIRECT US
Sometimes God must light a fire under you to get you moving.Problems often point us in a new direction and motivate us to change.Is God trying to get your attention? "Sometimes it takes a painful situation to make us change our ways."

2. To INSPECT US
People are like tea bags...if you want to know what's inside them,just drop them into hot ever water! Has God tested your faith with a problem What do problems reveal about you? "When you have many kinds of troubles, you should be full of joy, because you know that these troubles test your faith, and this will give you patience."

3. To CORRECT US
Some lessons we learn only through pain and failure.It's likely that as a child your parents told you not to touch a hot stove.But you probably learned by being burned. Sometimes we only learn the value of something... health, money, a relationship..by losing it. "It was the best thing that could have happened to me,for it taught me to pay attention to your laws."

4. To PROTECT US
A problem can be a blessing in disguise if it prevents you from being harmed by something more serious. Last year a friend was fired for refusing to do something unethical that his boss had asked him to do. His unemployment was a problem - but
it saved him from being convicted and sent to prison a year later when management's actions were eventually discovered. "You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good...

5. To PERFECT US
Problems, when responded to correctly, are character builders.

There could be many other reasons as well that can be added to the list like to test us, to teach us and make us an example or bench mark for others, and so on…
Anyhow I guess its all a matter that how we think or take problems in our life.

May God bless us all.

Happiness!!

Every living creature wants to be happy. Whether it is money, power or any relationship, you get into it for the sake of happiness. Some people even enjoy misery because it gives them happiness !

To be happy, we seek something. But despite getting it, we are not happy. A school-going boy may think that if he goes to college, he will be more independent, free and therefore happy. If you ask a college-going boy whether he is happy, he feels that if he gets a job, he will be happy. Talk to somebody who is settled in their job or business, you already know what he will say! He is waiting to get a perfect soul mate, to be happy. He gets a soul mate, but he now wants a kid to be happy. Ask those who have children if they are happy. How can they relax until the children have grown up and have had a good education and are on their own. Ask those who are retired, are they happy? They long for the days when they were younger.

All of one's life is spent in preparing to be happy someday in the future. It's like making a bed all night, but having no time to sleep.

How many minutes, hours and days have we spent our life being happy from within - Those are the only moments you have really lived life. Those were perhaps the days when you were a small kid, completely blissful and happy or a few moments when you were surfing, swimming or sailing or on a mountain top, living in the present and enjoying it.

There are two ways of looking at life. One is thinking that, "I'll
be happy after achieving a certain objective." The second is saying that "I am happy come what may!"

Which one do you want to live?

PERSONAL PERCEPTION...

Different people have different perception. One man's meat could be another man's poison. A couple bought a donkey from the market. On the way home,a boy commented, "Very stupid. Why neither of them ride on the donkey?"Upon hearing that, the husband let the wife ride on the donkey. He walked besides them. Later, an old man saw it and commented, "The husband is the head of family. How can the wife ride on the donkey while the husband is on foot?" Hearing this, the wife quickly got down and let the husband ride on the donkey.

Further on the way home, they met an old Lady. She commented, "How can the man ride on the donkey but let the wife walk. He is no gentleman."
The husband thus quickly asked the wife to join him on the donkey. Then, they met a young man. He commented, "Poor donkey, how can you hold up the weight of two persons. They are cruel to you." Hearing that, the husband and wife immediately climbed down from the donkey and carried it on their shoulders.

It seems to be the only choice left. Later, on a narrow bridge, the donkey was frightened and struggled. They lost their balance and fell into the river. You can never have everyone praise you, nor will everyone condemn you. Never in the past, not at present, and never will be in the future.

Thus, do not be too bothered by others words if our conscience is clear..

Time In Our Lives

There will be times in all of our lives
where we're treated very harshly and unfair.
And no matter how hard we look for the justice
we find that it just isn't there.

When we're offended and in pain, our normal response
is to retaliate and somehow repay.
For we want that person to see how it feels
to have the heartache we're feeling that day.

But as natural as it seems to want to get even
it's the opposite of what God says is true.
For He is desiring that His servants be different
and be Christ-like in all that we do.

As incredible as it sounds, He wants us to repay them
with a blessing instead of more pain.
And He will give us the power we need to be kind
and the strength we need to refrain.

We have to trust Him and fully believe Him
Knowing His ways truly are best.
We have to be encouraged knowing He saw the injustice
and let Him give us comfort and rest.

The person who offends us is not declared innocent
by the kindness we place on their head.
But God takes all the heartache retaliation would bring us
and gives us a blessing instead.

The Power Of Our Blessings

We bless the life around us far more than we realize. Many simple, ordinary things that we do can affect those around us in profound ways: the unexpected phone call, the brief touch, the willingness to listen generously, the warm smile or wink of recognition. We can even bless total strangers and be blessed by them. Big messages come in small packages. All it may take to restore someone's trust in life may be returning a lost earring or a dropped glove.

A woman once told me that she did not feel the need to reach out to those around her because she prayed every day. Surely, this was enough. But a prayer is about our relationship to God; a blessing is about our relationship to the spark of God in one another. God may not need our attention as badly as the person next to us on the bus or behind us on line in the supermarket. Everyone in the world matters, and so do their blessings. When we bless others, we offer them refuge from an indifferent world.

The capacity to bless life is in everybody. The power of our blessing is not diminished by illness or age. On the contrary, our blessings become even more powerful as we grow older.

They have survived the buffeting of our experience. We may have traveled a long, hard road to the place where we can remember once again who we are. That we have traveled and remembered gives hope to those we bless. Perhaps in time they too can remember this place beyond competition and struggle, this place where we belong to one another... I first learned to do this from people who were dying, people who had moved into a more authentic relationship with those around them because only that which is genuine still had meaning for them. These people had let go of the ways in which they had changed themselves to win approval, and so they made it safe for others to remove their masks as well.

True knowledge brings humility...

Expression:

True knowledge inspires and encourages one to bring about a practical change in one's life. The one with knowledge naturally imbibes it, which is also revealed in his practical life. This is because he is humbly willing to learn from all situations. As much as there is knowledge, so much there is divinity and elevated ness revealed in all words and actions. Also such a person keeps learning from all life's situations.

Experience:

To have the ability to learn from all that life brings is to have love for knowledge. Since I have love for knowledge, I am able to experience self-respect. This self-respect gives me the humility to accept situations and people as they are and keep learning. So whatever the situation or whoever the person I come across, I only find myself enriching myself and moving forward.

A WOMAN….
(Author: Unknown)

They smile when they want to scream.
They sing when they want to cry.
They cry when they are happy
and laugh when they are nervous.

They fight for what they believe in.
They stand up against injustice.
They don't take "no" for an answer
when they believe there is a better solution.

They go without new shoes
so their children can have them.
They go to the doctor
with a frightened friend.

They love unconditionally.
They cry when their children excel
and cheer when their friends get awards.
They are happy when they hear
about a birth or a new marriage.

Their hearts break when a friend dies.
They have sorrow at the loss of a family member,
yet they are strong when they think
there is no strength left.

They know that a hug
and a kiss
can heal a broken heart.

Women come in all sizes,
in all colors and shapes.
They'll drive, fly, walk, run or e-mail you
to show how much they care about you.

The heart of a woman is what makes the world spin!
Women do more than just give birth.
They bring joy and hope.
They give compassion and ideals.
They give moral support to their family and friends.

Women have a lot to say and a lot to give.

CREATING PERFECT RELATIONSHIPS…

There is a saying that a perfect match can only be found between a blind wife and a deaf husband, because the blind wife cannot see the faults of the husband and the deaf husband cannot hear the nagging of the wife. Many couples are blind and deaf at the courting stage and dream of perpetual perfect relationship. Unfortunately, when the excitement of love wears off, they wake up and discover that marriage is not a bed of roses. The nightmare begins.

Few days back I got a chance to gone through this funny sort of thought provoking article according to which a person visited a government matchmaker for marriage and requested him for a help in looking for a suitable spouse. The officer asked him about the requirements and in reply he asked for a good looking, polite, humorous, sporty, knowledgeable, good in singing and dancing girl. Willing to accompany him the whole day at home during his leisure hour, if he doesn’t go out. Telling him interesting stories when he need companion for conversation and be silent when he wants to rest. The officer listened carefully and replied him with a very good answer that “I understand you need television."

Well the moral of the story is that we all wish to have someone perfect in our life ignoring the fact that no one is perfect in this world neither us nor anyone else. We keep on expecting from others without thinking that what others can expect from us and what we are doing for them. I have seen several people around who spoiled their relationships just because of stupid reasons without looking into the consequences of their decision.

To have a strong, perfect relationship both parties have to struggle, both have to compromise, both need to have patience, both have to sacrifice and understand each other. Trust, love, care and honesty are other important elements that contribute a lot in any relationship to be healthy and perfect.

But besides this being an optimistic I also believe that sweet things are easy to buy,but sweet people are difficult to find. Life ends when u stop dreaming, hope ends when u stop believing,Love ends when u stop caring,love without condition, talk without intention, give without reason and care without expectation.......

Loneliness….

Loneliness is one of the toughest things to live with, people who have to live alone can only realizes the pain and can tell how difficult it is to be alone.

Loneliness is a condition where we can only depend ourselves for any strength or mental nourishment. It is a period when we may be completely alone or, although we are with others, we may feel alienated from them and unable to share our unique experiences with any other person at that at that specific moment.

Feeling lonely sometimes is natural but this is also a fact that humans need to socialize. "We need to have a sense of belonging, we need feedback from others, recognition, and a sense that there are others who care about us, understand us, and that we matter to them." Solitude is not always bad. We have all enjoyed being alone- with nature, or music, or books. It is when we feel depression, boredom, and meaninglessness then we have to act. Prolonged loneliness can become fatal if not dealt with as it can deprive a person of his will to live on.

TRUE LOVE…

I have written already several posts on this topic and always I feel that there is still something left behind. Love is a vast topic to talk about and can be defined in so many ways as per our experiences, thoughts & observations. Whoever fell in love feels that he/she is at the peak and in true love but most of the times when they have to face any problem in the journey of love or they’re been examine they failed. True love is not mean/selfish at all, expectations is something natural but I guess when we are truly in love with someone we don’t see what we’re getting in return of our love, we just keep on loving and caring that person no matter how he/she is responding us. True love is sacrifice, its trust, and there are no conditions in true love. We can like anyone on the basis of his/her good qualities that he/she holds but we love anyone without any reason, when we love someone we accept him/her along with both good and bad qualities, and we never judge our love ones. I always say love makes our life meaningful and beautiful but besides this is also a fact that love brings us pains as well that we bear happily, our both happiness and sorrows are attached/linked with that person.

Yesterday I was reading a book that was compiled of several true love stories and one of the story that truly inspired me and helped me to understand true love that I am sharing here as well. This story is basically written by a doctor and I am copying it here for you all as it is been written by him in his own words. Hope you all going to like it too. So here it is:

It was a busy morning, approximately 8:30 a.m., when an elderly gentleman in his 80's, arrived to have stitches removed from his thumb. He stated that he was in a hurry as he had an appointment at 9:00 am.

I took his vital signs and had him take a seat, knowing it would be over an hour before someone would to able to see him. I saw him look at his watch and decided, since I was not busy with another patient, I would evaluate his wound.

On exam, it was well healed, so I talked to one of the doctors, got the needed supplies to remove his sutures and redress his wound.

While taking care of his wound, we began to engage in conversation. I asked him if he had another doctor's appointment this morning, as he was in such a hurry. The gentleman told me no, that he needed to go to the nursing home to eat breakfast with his wife.

I then inquired as to her health. He told me that she had been there for a while and that she was a victim of Alzheimer' s Disease .

As we talked, I asked if she would be upset if he was a bit late. He replied that she no longer knew who he was, that she had not recognized him in five years now.

I was surprised, and asked him, "And you still go every morning, even though she doesn't know who you are? "

He smiled as he patted my hand and said, " She doesn't know me, but I still know who she is." I had to hold back tears as he left, I had goose bumps on my arm, and thought, "That is the kind of love I want in my life."

True love is neither physical, nor romantic. True love is an acceptance of all that is, has been, will be, and will not be.

An innocent smile makes the day bright
And an innocent thought makes the whole life peaceful
So with a smile start thinking bright and have a very good life ahead.
Keep Smiling……

Life's Mirror

There are loyal hearts, there are spirits brave,
There are souls that are pure and true,

Then give the world the best you have,

And the best will come back to you.

Give love, and love to your life will flow,

A strength in your utmost need,

Have faith, and a score of hearts will show

Their faith in your word and deed.

Give truth, and your gift will be paid in kind;

And honor will honor meet;

And a smile that is sweet will surely find

A smile that is just as sweet.

Give pity and sorrow to those who mourn,

You will gather in flowers again

The scattered seeds from your thoughts out borne,

Though the sowing seemed but vain.

For life is the mirror of king and slave,

This just what we are and do;

3 BASIC THINGS IN LIFE…

In my view there are basically three main things around which one’s life revolves, that hold most importance in our life, which directs our life styles, that reflects from our habits & our routine. According to me these three things could be:

• Religion
• Relationships
• Career/work

Religion plays a guidance role in our life that guide us how to live life, how to deal with our problems and routine matters, who to ask for help & whom to pray, and much more. So we can say that to an extend our religious teachings are reflected from the way we carry our life and things related to it.

Second comes are our relationships that make our life meaningful and beautiful. Love, care, respect, trust, our emotions, & feelings all are attached with them. This is a fact that no one can live happily in isolation, we all need each other. Our happiness is incomplete and meaningless unless we have someone to celebrate with us and similarly in pain or during our depressions we need someone for care, for sympathy, for love, etc. These are all things that are human needs and no one can deny it. These relationships are the real beauty of our life. I always use to believe in these golden words ‘money cannot buy you happiness’, so very true because our feelings whether happiness or sorrows are linked with our relationships.

Third thing that holds importance in our life is our work, our career, or our job. This is also one of the most important elements of life as it is the source that defines goal for your life, make you effort, brings you internal satisfaction, provides us financial support to fulfill our and our love ones needs, reflects from your life style, and much more.

I don’t know to what extend I am successful in writing all this infect I believe still I lack in many things which I need to improve. May be I’ve missed various relevant points that needed to be added to the post and this is also possible that many of you don’t agree with my point of view as this is all that I have written is based on my own priorities, my thinking and few of the observations. Anyhow I will appreciate if anyone of you feel like to make any correction or add your own thoughts.

POWER OF POSITIVE THINKING

We all are known with the fact that both happiness and sadness are part of life but besides this reality of life this is also true that we human beings get depressed more easily and lose hope at small failures in life in comparison of getting happy & enjoying our achievements and success in life. It’s in human nature to look into the darker side of the picture first and think negatively that leads to depressions, loss of hopes, weakness and finally this result in further more failures in life.

I always use to think that whether happiness and sadness is in one’s control or not??? I thought a lot about it and have observed several people including my own self, various situations, read about it and have discussed this with several people around and the conclusion that I have made on the basis of all this is that 100% we can’t control this but yes to an extend this is in one’s own hands to be happy or depressed. The only thing that matters is our thinking that brings both problems and solutions in our life. I believe whatever happen in this world is with some purpose behind it and if we try to get and understand that reason we will never think negatively about it. We human beings have limited mental abilities and vision sometimes we can’t decide what is right or wrong for us, it’s only God who knows and can better decide for us. Sometimes we pray and effort a lot for something without knowing that whether this is right or wrong and when we dnt get it we get negative and depressed without thinking that may be that was wrong for us and God gonna bring us something much more better in place of it. Secondly sometimes God bring us failures to teach us lesson and make us stronger. I have lost my father in early ages of my life and whenever I miss him and feel depressed I always make myself remind that as I am a special person of God & He love me & trust me so He have selected me for this test and now I have to come up to His expectations and truly this thing help me a lot and take me out of depression.

Few days back I was reading Vincent Norman’s book ‘Power of Positive Thinking’ and in his book he have explained this very well with the help of different examples and true short stories. He wrote about a young sports man suffering from blood cancer breathing his last few breaths but he makes his team won match just because of his enthusiasm and positive thinking. Similarly he talked of several other true examples that helps us a lot to understand the importance and worth of positive thinking in our life.

Wish you all very best in life. Take care of yourself and all around.

Best regards,

Samrina

TRUE HAPPINESS....

I always use to think that what can bring us true, deep internal happiness and then to get the answer I have started observing & evaluating my own self first and then others. I don’t know to what extend I am right or wrong in writing this but today I am writing this post on the basis of my observations and views about types of people in this world, what can bring us true internal happiness and lots more at the back of my mind while writing this.

Basically there are two types of people in this world one ‘Career Oriented people’, people who value most their career, work, job, money, etc most in life and another type of people that exist in this world can be called as ‘Domestic people’ or ‘Family Oriented people’, people fall in this category value more their relationships, their feelings, love, etc in their life.

According to my observations people who value most their career, money, work, etc in life do achieve their career related goals and seems to be successful people in the eye of the world but in most of the cases I have seen that they are not happy and satisfied internally because while running after their career oriented goals & money they ignored & lost their relationships with whom they can share their success, their happiness, their failures, and their depressions. By this I don’t mean at all that other type of people I talked of i.e. domestic or family oriented people are the happiest people in this world but unless you have anyone around to share your feelings with, your happiness, your success everything is meaningless. Yes people will appreciate you, come for a time being to celebrate with you your success but at the end of the day you will be alone especially I have seen in case of failures mostly people are left alone. In such situation only your close relationships, people who truly love and care you are there to give you their shoulder to cry at, to wipe your tears and give you courage & moral support to move further in life.

Being career oriented is not a bad thing but here I talked of extreme cases, in my view both should be kept in balance in life infect relationships should be given more importance and value in life then of career because our all career related success is meaningless unless we have our love one’s to share our feelings & success.

Hope you all are doing fine in your life.

Why???

I have been told by several people around that I use word ‘why’ so frequently and most of the times I sound to be unsatisfied with the answers unless I get into detail of anything and get to know each & everything about that issue or topic. I was just thinking about it today and evaluating myself & trying to get the answer of it but again one more ‘Why’ came into my mind that why it is so? Is it become that bothering & irritating for others that they have started pointing me out now??

Well I guess we all have so many why’s in our life that always keep us all in search of their answers and that results in creativity, inventions, different theories, solutions to many problems, enhancement of knowledge and much more…..

If I particularly talk about myself than I accept that yes I am a curious person not for everything but yeah for things related to me or topic of my interest. It’s really hard to satisfy me because I look into things & matters so deeply and keenly. May be the reason behind this is that I am an extremely sensitive person and think bit more deeply than of other normal human beings but that doesn’t mean at all that I am anyone extra ordinary & always right & always reach the point I m seeking for. May be it’s not a good habit for others and bothering for them but I don’t think it’s a bad habit, what you think???

Life....

I got this beautiful poetry in a mail and I just loved it so here it is for all my bloggers, hope u gonna like it too..

I sat by a creek bank, just the other day
watching the water, carry a leaf away.

I thought to myself, is this the way life goes
it runs through my mind, no one knows.

You are here on earth, for just a little while
so learn to love and share a great smile.

People are many and friends are few
love and happiness, is being with you.

I thought about that leaf, as I watched it go
was it's purpose really served, I'll never know.

Then I thought about myself, holding my life steady
wondering when the river of life called, will I be ready.

Really can't answer that and I know it's true
but when I go, you know I'll leave loving you.

HI AGAIN...

Writing after such a long time, got so many things in mind to write but anyhow I am really glad n happy to get back into the world of blogging that I really missed in passed few months.

Well we all have different reasons of writing blogs few of us write for fun, few to share there experiences, knowledge, art n specialties God gifted them, personal problems n so on…. Initially I have started writing blog just for fun and got nothing as such in mind that why I am writing but as time passed and specially the gap came in between make me realized the importance and value of it. I have learned a lot from here and realized many things about life and about myself too. I met several people here with great mind and I myself truly feel blessed that God bring me in interaction with such people with beautiful thoughts. I know I am not a good writer at all and very weak in communication skills but still whatever I have written here I always get loads of appreciation & positive comments on it and truly that worked for me as a motivator & make me write further more. At times when I was really down I got moral support from my blog friends that helped me a lot to come out of my depressions.

In life we are surrounded by so many people & things and sometimes we dnt realize there importance in our life but as they are been taken far from us we start missing them & start realizing their value in our life. So we should always be thankful to God for each & everything thing He bring to us because everything in this world holds some importance & its just a matter of realization.

Life...??

Once again I am here with the same topic "Life". God! I know I sound damn bore now. Sometimes I really feel that my thinking is so limited . I wish I could bring some changes in myself, in my thinking, in my writting, ......

Well I think Life can be defined in many ways. Few months back I shared here at my blog that life is an exam and whatever is been given to us by God and even not is just to test us and on the day of judgement we all are going to be rewarded for our good work and punished for bad ones. Sometimes I do feel that life is to judge and discover ourself that what we are actually? Throughout life we keep on analysing ourself in different phases of life and in every phase and in every relationship we found ourself different. Everyday we experience new new things and I guess we all change with time. Like life we human beings are also not certain and predictble.

According to some life is a journey towards death, for some life is fun, few define life as a punishment,and etc etc. We all have our own different defination for life and that based on our experiences, our thoughts, our studies and knowledge, and may be few other reasons as well to the list.

Prayers,

Thanks!!

Sometimes its really hard to express our true feelings in words though I always beleive that true feelings never need words to be expressed but still I guess world need an expression and words are important sometimes because not everyone can understand you or knows what you got in your heart. Anyhow I have again started my philosophy here, actually I am just trying to express my gratitude for all the care and concern of my blog friends. I am truely grateful to Allah for bringing me so many loving and caring people around. I wish could also be able to come upto the expectations of all around me.

Once again my deep thanks for God and all of you for all your sweet words at my blog. Hope our all relationship will grow with time. Lots of prayers and best wishes for all of you. Take very good care of yourself and all around you. Lets us all together take our steps towards the friendship and peace in the world.

Best Regards,

Samrina.

Life....

Time to time I have expressed my thoughts and views about life here at my blog and today when I started again to write something about it I realised the fact that I am repeating same thing again and again with just a difference of wordings may be. Actually I guess I write all this off and on to help my ownself whenever I am down or depressed. It's reallity that no one of us is satiosfied with our life. No one can have a perfect life with everything, we all have to face both success and failures in life and pass through both happy and sad/depressing moments in life. With all this reality of life it's really hard sometimes to keep ourself positive and sometimes it's really tiring too. I think we all need a moral support of words time to time to keep ourself on positive track. Thats why I beleive no one can live or survive in isolation, we are nothing alone, we all need each other's support, and we all live in a chain. Sometimes we dnt realise the importance of someone in our life but a time came in life when we do realise the fact when we dnt have anyone around to share with and when we dnt have a shoulder to cry at. A sense of owning a relationship is I guess the most important and precious thing in life, this leads to hope, expectation, trust, love and care in our life.

Death Of An Innocent

Well I received this heart touching, lesson teaching poetry in a email and this really made me cry. I found this really worth sharing so here it is for all my blog readers and let us all think over it seriously and appreciate the work of whoever took the effort to wrote this.

I went to a party Mom,

I remembered what you said.

You told me not to drink, Mom,

So I drank soda instead.

I really felt proud inside, Mom,

The way you said I would.

I didn't drink and drive, Mom,

Even though the others said I should.

I know I did the right thing, Mom,

I know you are always right.

Now the party is finally ending, Mom,

As everyone is driving out of sight.

As I got into my car, Mom,

I knew I'd get home in one piece.

Because of the way you raised me,

So responsible and sweet.

I started to drive away, Mom,

But as I pulled out into the road,

The other car didn't see me, Mom,

And hit me like a load.

As I lay there on the pavement, Mom,

I hear the policeman say,

"The other guy is drunk," Mom

,And now I'm the one who will pay.

I'm lying here dying,

Mom....I wish you'd get here soon.

How could this happen to me, Mom?

My life just burst like a balloon.

There is blood all around me, Mom,

And most of it is mine.

I hear the medic say, Mom,

I'll die in a short time.

I just wanted to tell you, Mom,

I swear I didn't drink.It was the others, Mom.

The others didn't think.

He was probably at the same party as I.

The only difference is, he drank

And I will die.
Why do people drink, Mom?

It can ruin your whole life.

I'm feeling sharp pains now.

Pains just like a knife.

The guy who hit me is walking, Mom,

And I don't think it's fair.

I'm lying here dying

And all he can do is stare.

Tell my brother not to cry, Mom.

Tell Daddy to be brave.

And when I go to heaven, Mom,

Put "Daddy's Girl" on my grave.

Someone should have told him, Mom,

Not to drink and drive.

If only they had told him, Mom,

I would still be alive.

My breath is getting shorter, Mom.

I'm becoming very scared.

Please don't cry for me, Mom.

When I needed you, you were always there.

I have one last question, Mom.

Before I say good bye.

I didn't drink and drive,

So why am I the one to die???

Become Master of Your Destiny!

So very true that 'Determination' is the first and main step towards the destination. Once you are determined to acheive any goal in life than you can acheive anything as determination is one's 'Will Power' and 'Will' is the king of mental power. When one controls his/her thoughts, he/she controls his/her mind and that ultimately leads to the control of his/her life and once anyone reaches the stage of being in total control of his/her life he/she can be the 'Master of his/her Destiny'.

Special people in our lives

Special people in our lives

Don’t often come along ,

But when they do they touch us

just like a lovely song

A song filled with meaning

And moves our very soul

A song of inspiration

That helps us reach our goal

A song that makes our spirits sing

Our heavy hearts so light

A song that gives us courage

So we won't give up the fight

A song that makes us smile : )

When we are feeling blue

A song filled with laughter I

t makes us feel brand new

ou're like a lovely song

So soothing to the heart

A song composed by God himself

A priceless work of Art

Trust

Well trust is the base of any strong relationship and really required in a relationship to grow further. Whenever I think about it many questions arouse into my mind like : how to trust someone? how to judge that whether that person is reliable and appropriate for our trust or not? do we trust anyone intentionaly or with any planning or it is something from inside and natural? what are the factors that are required to trust anyone? and so on ........

The answer that i got from my inside and on the basis of my experience and observations is that Trust is something from inside, our inside guide us or pushes us to trust someone and for that exactly we dnt need any reasons , its something from God side and natural. But I have observed that sometimes we all do take time and hesitate to accept and realize the fact that we trust anyone and I guess this is because that time we are thinking about it from our brain and our brain always want logics and reasons whereas i beleive trust is something from heart as every feeling comes from our heart. We trust God, His existance and we do accept that He is everywhere and doing everything but no one have seen Him, just on the basis of our religious teachings that we get from our teachers, books and elders we trust on Him. We dnt need any proof because our inside pushes and leads to our trust on God which is off course been gifted by God.

Few days back I was talking to my friend and she was telling me that she is really confussed about her fiancy,and have doubts that whatever he is commiting now whether he'll be able to do that in future or not, n so on... Well I know I am not that wise and intelligent but anyhow I asked her to first trust her ownself and God and stop judging him because we cant judge anyone 100%, we cant get into one's heart to see what he got inside, whom we love and care we just trust them without any reason.b Plus one another thins that I always beleive strongly is that if I am being honest and loyal with anyone than I'll get same return from the other party as well. So I guess our trust in God and in ourself leads to trust others around.

Well the reason of publishing all this here is to get your all views as well about the topic so that I can also make correction in my thoughts and may be able to get some new additional knowledge about the topic which is I guess related to our all life. Hope you all will contribute to it and share your precious thoughts here :)

"IF ONLY WE BELEIVE"

To beleive is to know that everyday

is a new begining

It is to trust that miracles happens,

and dreams do come true

To beleive is to see Angels

dancing among the clouds

To know the wonder of a stardust sky

and the moon wisdom of the man in the moon

To beleive is to know

the value of a nurturing heart

The innocence of a child's eyes

and the beauty of an aging hand,

For it is through their teachings we learn to Love

To beleive is to find the strength

and courage that lies

Within us when it is time

To pick up the pieces to begin again

To beleive is to know that

we are not alone,

That life is a gift

and this is our time to cherish it.

To beleive is to know the wonderful surprises,

are just waiting to happen

And all our hopes and dreams,

are within reach.

The TOP 5 Things That Keep You Away From Success

A lot of people want to be successful. Yet, only a few people are willing to pay the price. There is a price to success as there is a price to failure. Here are 5 reasons that keep people from accomplishing their dreams.


A lack of motivation. Success comes from loving what you do. Is your current job your passion? When your study highly successful people, you understand that they have at least 1 thing in common: they love what they do and they do what they love. Is this the case for you? If the answer is no, you can start by identifying your passion. This is the best way to get motivated.


A lack of faith. Faith is a firm belief in yourself, God or others that you can do it. Build up a strong vision of what you want to accomplish. In developing a vision, the law of attraction is going to work for you. You are going to attract people, opportunities and money that will allow you to develop an unstoppable confidence.


The fear of failure. The fear of failure doesn't exist. Neither does the fear of success. Fear stands for False Evidence Appearing Real. Micheal Jordan said himself that "Fear is an illusion". It is hard to overcome fears. One simple way to overcome the fear of failure is to read inspirational stories and quotes of people that achieved their dreams. Read one every morning. That will give you strength and hope.


The wrong strategies. When you want to build a business, to achieve something really big, you need to have mentors. You can't allow yourself to loose time, money and energy. Mentors are people that will give you the right strategies; they will provide the right information and will inspire you. They will coach you through the process. Choose correctly your experts, your models. Work with them and adopt the same thinking patterns, the same strategies, the same beliefs. If he did it, you can do it too.


Limiting beliefs. Often times we have limiting beliefs about what we want to achieve. For example, you can really want to achieve a goal but at the same time something tells you: "It's not for you, you don't deserve that" or "You can't do it, remember". These thoughts pollute our minds and darken our life. A quick way to stop these damaging thoughts is to use the power to say no! First, represent in your mind the "limiting belief" and say NO! To it. Now, represent in your mind what you want in its place and say a big YES! You will be amazed how your attitude suddenly changed about the old belief.

BE THANKFUL

Be thankful that you don't have everything you desire,
If you did, what would there be to look forward to?
Be thankful when you don't know something
For it gives you the opportunity to learn.

Be thankful for the beautiful times,
During those times you grow.
Be thankful for your limitations,
They give you opportunities for improvement.
Be thankful for each new challenge,
Because it will build your strength and character.

Be thankful for your mistakes,
They will teach you valuable lessons.
Be thankful when you're tired and weary,
Because it means you've made an effort.

It's easy to be thankful for the good things.
A life of rich fulfillment comes to those who
are also thankful for the setbacks.

Gratitude can turn a negative into positive,
Find a way to be thankful to your troubles,
and they can become your blessings.

Well friends these are not my own words i received this in a mail and i really liked it and beleive in it so i am sharing it here with you all as well, hope you all gonna like it too.

Don't worry... be Positive!!

Positive thinking is one of the main key for a successful, happy, healthy life. People who are positive and live thier life 'in the moment' are really lucky. So if you can stop worrying about what you've done in the past,and stop worrying about how your actions will affect your future...then you will open yourself up to all sorts of positive events and people that the 'new' you will encounter.Everyone has to worry...but you must try only to worry about what you (and only you) have direct control over.Worry about anything else outside of that...and you will probably be worrying about something that may never even happen.

Nobody has the 'perfect life' and everyone has the ability to manage the positives and negatives in their lives. So its in our own hands to not to let the negatives on top of us...otherwise they will just overtake the positives - and we will be constantly miserable as a result.

So always be positive & happy :)

God Knows!!

When you are tired and discouraged from fruitless effort, GOD knows how hard you have tried.

When you've cried so long your heart is in anguish, GOD has counted your tears.

If you feel that your life is on hold and time has passed you by, GOD is waiting for you.

When nothing makes sense and you are confused or frustrated, GOD has the answer.

If suddenly your outlook is brighter and you find traces of hope, GOD has whispered to you.

When things are going well and you have much to be thankful for, GOD has blessed you.

When something joyful happens and you are filled with awe, GOD has smiled upon you.

Whenever you feel lonely then do remember, your God is always with you.

No matter whole world misunderstood you, your God understands you.

May this whole world hates you but there is one your God who always love you.

Remember that wherever you are or whatever you are feeling, GOD knows!

THE DOOR OF HAPPINESS

When the door of happiness closes,

another one opens;

but often times we look so long

at the closed door

that we don't see the one

which has been opened for us.

Don't dwell on the past when things go

wrong.

Look for the opened doors all around you!

What is Love..??

Well one of my blog friend Khurram posted a post at his blog regarding ‘Love’ and asked a question that ‘What is true Love?’ So I am sharing my views and thoughts regarding this most beautiful feeling Love here and want you all too to add your valuable thoughts here regarding the topic.

There are many other feelings or emotions that are been associated with Love and most of us think that this is love but in actual it is not. For example:

· If you love some one because you think that he or she is really gorgeous ....then it's not love .. it's "Infatuation"
· If you love some one because you think that you shouldn't leave him/her because others think that you shouldn't ... then it's not love.. it's "Compromise"
· If you love some one because you cannot leave him/her thinking that it would hurt his/her feelings .. then it's not love .. it's "Charity"
· If you love some one because you share every thing with him/her ... then it's not love... it's "Friendship"

But if we talk of Love than this is something superior and much much more of all these. Love is a feeling that makes life more meaningful. One’s love can be his/her strength, it can be a motivational tool, it can be one’s power, and many more…..

True Love is when you feel the pain of the other person more than him/her even when he/she is stable and you cry for him/her, Love is when you get attracted to other people but stay with him/her without any regrets, and Love is when you are ready to do anything for that person without even thinking for a second. There can be much more that can be added to define true love because we all have different perceptions, experiences and way of thinking but still Love is a feeling that we all need, that we all desire, and it is a feeling that we all owns in any means. Its true “Love is life” so let us all spread Love on this planet, our home Earth :) :)
