The above sentence should make sense to most of the people who are right now going through some turbulence in their lives, more so in their personal lives. I come across a whole host of people writing to me about their personal issues on my personal email id. Technology is indeed a wonderful thing and most of the people who approach me are the ones who are going through a not so smooth patch in their personal lives.
Actually we take ourselves too seriously for reasons beyond our thinking. We tend to hold ourselves responsible many a times for things and events that happen, come and go. In fact, let me tell you, people who hold on to grudges and faults of others have all the time in the world. If you have the time to think about all these, then I am sure you have time for prayer as well. So let’s shake off all those assumptions that we think people have about us. Live light, think light – it makes things simpler, don’t complicate things and your life. I am sure there are much more things to ponder about.
Just like all of you, I too come across people, we meet, talk and life moves on. The experiences that I gain meeting people, interacting with them are wonderful. Every experience teaches me something or the other. If they are meant to be, things continue or else it could lead to a short sabbatical. I am absolutely fine with it. Initially, I used to feel a little down, but with age, I guess we mature and take things the way they are presented to us. Life is actually a gift in the real sense of the term. You don’t choose your gifts. You get it right!!!! So take every gift as it comes, at times, it will present you with events and moments that you will feel absolutely wonderful. We feel elated and on top of the world. At the same time, we receive gifts that may not appeal to us. Do we ever return the gift to someone who has given it to us? I am sure most of you would say NO.
Another thing that many write to me is about not getting acceptance from their own friends and relatives. All I can say is that people (just like you and me) have their own preferences, favorites and likes. There is nothing to feel bad about. At times, yes, it does hurt, but that cannot or should not make us feel sad or low. If people want to be in your life, they will ensure that they do and if they want to make you feel good and nice, they would do it. It’s not in our control for sure. Also, if you read my previous blogposts, I have penned that every person is a complete reflection of the opposite person.
So don’t try to control people – it doesn’t work that way. Things that don’t matter to them should not matter to you as well. It’s like a two way path.
I personally believe that CHANGE is truly a very strong word and it helps a lot when we try and change ourselves. The change that we can bring about in ourselves is a benchmark and a yardstick that we can be happy the way we wish to live our lives, no matter what.
Bye for now, blessings always!!

p.s: People who are meant to be will remain so, no matter what !!
