Don’t believe everything you think!

What would it feel like when we come to know that our loved ones are in pain…? For instance, when a dreadful sickness has befallen them… never ever had we imagined in our wildest dreams that this would happen to him/her… the person you love & care for loads… well, my very first reaction would be, “Lord, why him/her, from all those people out there?”… (am quite certain that this would be the egocentric reaction from most)

What makes us skeptical then, in such circumstances? When in such unpleasant conditions of life, we need to connect with our spirit/our inner soul rather than on our “thinking” minds… I’d come across a saying sometime back which goes like, “Don’t believe everything you think!”… I like this saying because of its simplicity & I do try to live by this everyday instead of trying to stop the unwanted thoughts… let god do the thinking/talking for me… Many a times, I have experienced this episode, where, when I let my mind do the analysis of the situation in hand, no matter what, I feel disheartened..! I don’t seem to feel good at all… but when I leave it blindly for God to decide & lead, I suddenly feel a surge of peace/joy rushing through my mind & soul… & confidence (from no where) emerges… I then realize that maybe this is “my” testing period…where the lord wants to put to test my faith in him… believe me, there is nothing like putting you complete trust, faith & hope in the lord… I’d consider these as the most valuable periods in my walk with the lord… things that seemed practically impossible, suddenly is made possible… wow! So, what better reason to expect miracles, eh! You know, God lets events take place in our lives, so that we are made to realize his worth & his ability to work things for our good…!!!

A new beginning…

I’m baffled & at the same time excited, as I start this new phase of my being…
When this whole idea of the blog began, the first thought that hit my mind was “what would be the theme that I would like to start off with?” well, at the start of this new year, thought I would share my perceptions on resolutions, expectations, fresh outlook etc that I have in life…

I was contemplating on what would it be this year, that I would like to stick on to or rather “achieve”… yes, its not any different from the previous years… at the top of the list goes…need to shed on those extra kilos… shirk the procrastination tendency away… to forgive & forget easily… to stop wanting more of everything… to maintain a positive attitude consistently, come what may & last but not the least, to strengthen the relationship with my lord… over the past year, there were days which made me to ponder “what is it that really makes one happy & content?” health/body, career, relationships, spirituality, friends or money? We often tend to rely on our beliefs/judgments more rather than on God’s will to be done… well, this year on, I have decided to expect miracles…! & to welcome trials & temptations in life, in order to make me a stronger person, both mentally & emotionally… & keep the hope & faith strong no matter what! After all, it’s God who is in control of my life, not me… in any case, I know that whatever I am faced with, I am not alone & that someone else is also faced with too…

I wish that you have a year filled with peace, harmony & love… & many more blessings that life has in store for each of us, which you so very well deserve…

God bless…
