It Takes a long time to

grow an old friend‘

A friend is an angel who lifts us off our feet when our wings have trouble remembering how to fly...

Truly great friends are hard to find, difficult to leave and impossible to forget!

In the land of opportunities that is the United States; It took 43 presidents to rule and finally the

thchange; 44 was the president who was not a white American.

If the USA who are considered as the worlds powerfully advanced country with a modern outlook took almost an era for a change then one life that I have and that which is yours is too less…For the bird too in the cage it will need a lot of patience…AS change is the only constant Some day the cage will disappear and the bird will fly again.

Possibly I may not last that long but the thoughts must go on; the seeds need to be planted by someone…some day...today! because tomorrow never comes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Some contradicting lines; but these are not...

There Is Time For All To Be Done.Tomorrow Never Comes!

Certain Things In Life Have To Be Done Immediately.Don't Hurry!

Change Is The Only Constant.Don't Quit.

Drop The Ego. Be Proud.Look For Happiness Within.

Give Others For That Might Be Their Last Day.Don't Step On Two Boats. Learn To Multitask.Whenever There Is A Problem There Is An Opportunity.

Don't Be Selfish. Give Up, Let Go.Stop The Habit Of Being Good Always.

Think Out Of The Box. Follow Your Heart.Be Angry. Express Yourself.Don't Take Temper To Your Head. Be Cool.Communicate. Don't Blame. Confront.

Accept Mistakes. Forgive… Not Forget (Forgive To Forget; Never Forget To Forgive) Everybody Deserves A Second Chance. But ONLY A Second Chance.

Think And Think Again. Don't Think More Than Twice.Give All That You Have To, Want To. Not All That You Can.

Compromise.Not Adjust.

Value Others Time.If You Want Others To Value Yours.

Open Your Eyes.Mistrust The Obvious.

If You Give You Must Get, You Have To Get Or It Wasn't Worth Giving….. The Same Applies Other Ways As Well – If You Get You Must Give Or It Wasn't Worth Getting……

When You Want Something By Heart The Whole World Conspires For It….ButThere Must Be An Honest Desire…Instant Promise Makers Seldom Keep It – They Are Politicians And Manipulation Is Their Forte.

Luck Is Once… For Some That 'Once' May Be More Than Once…

Though change is the only constant….an instant change results in some malicious intentions… just for some selfish purpose, till it is fulfilled and then its back to the old ways…. Thus there was no change at all….

Change needs time … it is a constant process…not a one day job or overnight process…

You never say I will change from tomorrow…tomorrow never comes…so even if there is a change tomorrow it is superficial.At the same we keep on hearing and have started believing tomorrow will be a new dawn…why not make today's evening beautiful so that even if tomorrow's dawn never comes we would cherish what we have and not repent for that which we aspire for..... don't pile up and then repent for those unsaid words those unexpressed feelings, suppressed emotions. Who knows today is all that he/she might have. It’s destiny after all Not fate or coincidence.

live in the Now. Be concerned. Tomorrow may be too late to- let!

Blink! Think! Decide!

Corruption can be of various forms-Mind, Money, Thoughts, Body & LifeRead toTo Read

what is toCompromise

Adjustment ?

‘ Compromise and Adjustment?

Certain things in life are non-negotiable. One compromises to accept less than the best ...i.e. to reach a middle way. In compromise one has to sacrifice willingly or unwillingly. In adjustment there is indulgence at others’ expense. Whether or not, one wants to; is never the issue. It is always considered to be for the larger benefit....which is always a distant dream... an illusion....

An adjustment is induced by the vulnerable to allow exploitation, further; and thereby get used to exploitation. Is it not because of adjustment by us Indians we had to face a 26/11?

All you must do is figure out how you can do it, not whether or not you can. And once you have made your mind up to do it, it's amazing how your mind begins to figure out how…….

‘

It does not take a lot of courage to discard something that which has become a habit but a lot of guts. And be aware that it will invite trouble & resistance from one's own mind and the society. Follow your heart. Habits which seem good to the society but bad for the self need courage in addition to guts to be disowned. And for that you have to know your inner self first—I AM. Accepting a habit which the society stamps to be correct are the most harmful because it is never corrected or discarded rather it is passed on to the next generation.

Why? Is it for the fear of the society or is it because the society will stamp it as a sin and the doer a sinner? Why do you forget that you are neither a saint nor a sinner? You are only you – an individual. God. Because HE resides in you and if God cannot sin so how

can you? Do you you have the

capacity to sin?

think

Whether adjustment is a habit to be disowned or compromise to be encouraged?

Blink!Th Decide

I believe errors are foreseen and mistakes are not. Which means that errors can be rectified but mistakes have to be necessarily corrected; if not then they become a habit and then those habits have to be discarded if not suitable or bad. Habits can be both good and bad. If good then one must polish it; if bad then discarded. Again the question- how would one decide between a good habit and a bad habit? Anything that gives you the happiness, pleasure, warmth and that which makes you feel is good by heart is a good habit. There has to be no guilt in it. On the other if your mind says yes but your heart no then it is a bad habit. This theory though may not be applicable everywhere, just as there cannot be one medicine for all illnesses. If adjustment is your nature think whether it is an error or a mistake and then decide.

...Decide!

“There will always be few exceptions wherein adjustment becomes inevitable. The best way then, is to check the conditions rather look at things with eyes wide shut”... Blink!
