I love that other people feel like I do. Shivani – these are my sentiments EXACTLY. I see so many people everyday who I just want to shake and say “Wake up! Be alive.” It’s such a huge world, but people seem only to live in their tiny, boxed-in life – and unhappily at that. It starts to make me sad because some people don’t seem to realize that they can contribute so much to the happiness of others, if only they lived joyfully themselves. So as long as we do our part…

You are right. And there will always be some percentage of people, who just dont want to learn or care…

It is best to work with those people who want to learn and know how to care.
The saying “why worry about something that cant be solved”, saves me from lots of unnecessary thinking. I am born with a thinking mind and sometimes i observe and think about every single small thing…gets really tiring..”
so this saying has come as a blessing from god.
When i worry about my MIL..i think of this saying and voila…i dont worry anymore, coz this problem cant be solved .
We cant change them, so lets accept them.

Shivani – I think you are right. However, I don’t think people are always ready for a lesson so you have to be extremely careful about how you do it. Perhaps leading by example is a better method?

waiting for your next lesson.
It reminded me a saying…goes somewhat like this…
happiness is wanting what you have and not having what you want.
Your emails keep the day alive and my mind working on better things.

Dear TDM
Every story needs to be followed by underlying message and lesson.
it might completely leave them emotionless!!

Purpose of action guides the result…what say?

Shivani – it is true. Sometimes showing people an underdeveloped country only serves to depress them though and does nothing to make them feel grateful. Then what do we do…?

look at all the people..WOW, early morning and none of them is smiling, infact have a very serious face with all of them looking down…either they are avoiding each other or they are so bogged down by the responsibilities and their own life.
If only everyone remembers the child within, the child who finds joy in everything. Those who are in the picture are blessed (they are not even aware) to be living in developed world. Show them a movie of any underdeveloped country(of people from africa etc) and they will thank god and cherish life….

Sara – worry is something that I do to. It really is pointless though. Try to remember the great buddhist saying:

“If the problem can be solved, why worry? If the problem cannot be solved, worrying will do no good.”

I worry too much… about everything, money included. I can’t decide if my life has turned out okay because I do so much worrying and working hard, or if it’s totally unnecessary.

Either way, the worrying is taking up too much of my time. Only action counts. Thanks for the nudge!
