Once God pinged me..This sue was an Art Of Living Session..Check Out!!!
God: Hello. Did you call me?
Me: Called you? No... Who is this?
God: This is GOD. I heard your prayers. So I thought I will chat.
Me: I do pray. Just makes me feel good. I am actually busy now. I am in the midst of something. God: What are you busy at? Ants are busy too.
Me: Don't know. But I can't find free time. Lifehas become hectic. It's rush hour all the time.
God: Sure. Activity gets you busy. Butproductivity gets you results. Activity consumes time. Productivity frees it.
Me: I understand. But I still can't figure out. Bythe way, I was not expecting YOU to buzz me oninstant messaging chat.
God: Well I wanted to resolve your fight fortime, by giving you some clarity. In this net era, I wanted to reach you through the medium you are comfortable with.
Me: Tell me, why has life become complicated now?
God: Stop analyzing life. Just live it. Analysis is what makes it complicated.
Me: why are we then constantly unhappy?
God: Your today is the tomorrow that you worried about yesterday. You are worrying because you are analyzing. Worrying has become your habit. That's why you are not happy.
Me: But how can we not worry when there is so much uncertainty?
God: Uncertainty is inevitable, but worrying is optional.
Me: But then, there is so much pain due to uncertainty. .
God: Pain is inevitable, but suffering is optional.
Me: If suffering is optional, why do good people always suffer?
God: Diamond cannot be polished without friction.Gold cannot be purified without fire. Good people go through trials, but don't suffer. With that experience their life become better not bitter.
Me: You mean to say such experience is useful?
God: Yes. In every term, Experience is a hardteacher. She gives the test first and the lessonsafterwards.
Me: But still, why should we go through suchtests? Why can't we be free from problems?
God: Problems are Purposeful Roadblocks Offering Beneficial Lessons (to) Enhance MentalStrength. Inner strength comes from struggle andendurance, not when you are free from problems.
Me: Frankly in the midst of so many problems, wedon't know where we are heading,
God: If you look outside you will not know whereyou are heading. Look inside. Looking outside, youdream. Looking inside, you awaken. Eyes providesight. Heart provides insight.
Me: Sometimes not succeeding fast seems to hurtmore than moving in the right direction. What should I do?
God: Success is a measure as decided by others.Satisfaction is a measure as decided by you. Knowingthe road ahead is more satisfying than knowing youroad ahead. You work with the compass. Let others work with the clock.
Me: In tough times, how do you stay motivated?
God: Always look at how far you have come ratherthan how far you have to go. Always count yourblessing, not what you are missing.
Me: What surprises you about people?
God: When they suffer they ask, "why me?" When they prosper, they never ask "Why me". Everyone wishes to have truth on their side, but few want tobe on the side of the truth.
Me: Sometimes I ask, who I am, why am I here. I can't get the answer.
God: Seek not to find who you are, but to determine who you want to be. Stop looking for a purpose as to why you are here. Create it. Life is not a process of discovery but a process of creation.
Me: How can I get the best out of life?
God: Face your past without regret. Handle yourpresent with confidence. Prepare for the future without fear.
Me: One last question. Sometimes I feel my prayers are not answered.
God: There are no unanswered prayers. At times the answer is NO.
Me: Thank you for this wonderful chat.
God: Well. Keep the faith and drop the fear.Don't believe your doubts and doubt your beliefs.Life is a mystery to solve not a problem to resolve.Trust me. Life is wonderful if you know how to live."Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take but by the moments thattook our breath away!"--LIVE TODAY. "There are two eternities that canreally break you down, yesterday and tomorrow. Oneis gone and other doesn't exist........So Live Today".
Hav a GREAT LIFE!!!! keep Smiling :0)

ApproacH iS Wht MatterS!!!
A wealthy man decided to go on a safari in Africa. He took his faithful pet Dachshund dog along for company.
One day, the Dachshund starts chasing butterflies and before long the Dachshund discovers that he is lost. Wandering about, he notices a leopard heading rapidly in his direction with the obvious intention of having lunch.
The Dachshund thinks, "I'm in deep trouble now! Then he noticed some bones on the ground close by and immediately settles down to chew on the bones with his back to the approaching cat. Just as the leopard is about to leap, the Dachshund exclaims loudly, "Boy, that was one delicious leopard. I wonder if there are any more around here."
Hearing this, the leopard halts his attack in mid-stride, as a look of terror comes over him, and slinks away into the trees. "Whew," says the leopard. "That was close. That Dachshund! Nearly had me."
Meanwhile, a monkey who had been watching the whole scene from a nearby tree figures he can put this knowledge to good use and trade it for protection from the leopard. So, off he goes. But the Dachshund sees him heading after the leopard with great speed, and figures that something must be up.
The monkey soon catches up with the leopard, spills the beans and strikes a deal for himself with the leopard. The leopard is furious at being made a fool of and says, "Here monkey, hop on my back and see what's going to happen to that conniving canine."
Now the Dachshund sees the leopard coming with the monkey on his back and thinks "What am I going to do now?" But instead of running, the dog sits down with his back to his attackers, pretending he hasn't seen them yet... and just when they get close enough to hear,
The Dachshund says........ ......... .....
"Where's that damn monkey? I sent him off half an hour ago to bring me another leopard."
Moral: It doesn't matter what cards you hold but how you play them!!
Cool na?? ;)

GoD SeeS Me!!!!!!!!!!!
A lil story tat many of us must have heard at some point of life but jus thought a recollection would only do us, if anyhting....so here it goes:
A gentleman once visited a temple under construction where he saw a sculptor making an idol of God. Suddenly he noticed a similar idol lying nearby. Surprised, he asked the sculptor, "Do you need two statues of the same idol?" "No," said the sculptor without looking up, "We need only one, but the first one got damaged at the last stage." The gentleman examined the idol and found no apparent damage. "Where is the damage?" he asked."There is a scratch on the nose of the idol." said the sculptor, still busy with his work. "Where are you going to install the idol?" The sculptor replied that it would be installed on a pillar twenty feet high. "If the idol is that far, who is going to know that there is a scratch on the nose?" the gentleman asked.
The sculptor stopped his work, looked up at the gentleman, smiled and
said, "I know it and God knows it!"
MoRaL: The desire to excel should be exclusive of the fact whether someone appreciates it or not. “Excellence” is a drive from inside, not outside. Excel at a task today - not necessarily for someone else to notice but for your own satisfaction !!
Hav a great evening and make all efforts to excel in watever u do...Best Wishes!! :0)

ToUGH TiMeS????? DeStiNY WiLL RinG the BeLL SooN!!! PaTieNcE bacCHa!!
Very often we get so irritated and confused with the musings that take place in our lives, its like wen u try to mend things, it jus gets from bad to worse to worst...hav u ever encountered such a situation?? m sure ny normal person wud coz such events ar as natural as d feeling of luv in anyone's life, isnt it?? but to deal with such stuff is the most strenous job.... guess wen we are unable to hold up things is in our hands, its better to jus let loose everything n open our hands to find out wat destiny has store in for u, patience is the key...doesnt sounds like me wen i write this but cant help following this "LET GO" principle, as one of my dear one has been saying lately.....n yes, now even m also sure of dis mantra, coz i think its d last resort u can take to wen u've done every bit of ur part.....its like working as hard in our exams n still not giving a satisfactory performance due to external factors, wat can be done now wen we've done our best??...all we can do is jus let go n wait for the destiny to show u the next step...!!!
However, following this is a skeptical thought tat is everything is dependent on destiny??...i think yes it is, but it is also dependent on our performance which is measured by our thought process n actions coz our future which we alwaz look forward to is nothing but d result of our actions n thoughts in the past n present, agree??....so m jus trying to learn to live with all the strength, composure, honesty and compassion (and its damn damn diffcult in d current cycle of events, u bet??)
n all those ppl who dont agree wid me are very much free to exercise their thoughts like me!!! ;) but do tell me how is it like in ur world??

MiSSeD ME???????????????
Hi ALL.... ya ya after a long long time...ok ok no excuses...m busy taking lessons of life n ya thats wat keeping me busy for the past few months....n u thought i m dead or or renounced teh world or something?? ;) ok but seriously I alwaz thought life was as simple as it cud be n moves on in one direction but off late my experiences made me realize that only wen u think everything is fine n u giv atleast 4 sixes in n over, God gives u one such ball n u r clean bowled (ok dnt go on my cricket knowledge!!) that u just cant do anything but jus keep gaping that wat did i do to hav dis?? will things be fine??..u dont even understand whether ur being under strict scrutiny while fate is testing u or ur already declared a failure.....gosh!! tats the worst part!! so how shud one deal wid this?? shud one give up or bravely face the situation till the end of the world is the question....but things get worse wen destiny puts u in a "dharam-sankat" where mind and heart differ in opinion....ofcourse thats the worst part...so how shud one deal wid dis???.....
However, wat I learnt from my experiences is to follow my heart now, exactly opposite of which I used to do before this....coz I believe its important to have faith in ourselves n to luv n respect our individuality coz if we dont respect ourselves, y d heck wud dis world, whose only job is hunt 4 reasons to put u down n throw u out of dis cycle, respect us???? I dont think anyhting is worth it at the cost of our uniqueness.. our self-dignity is most imp fundamental right tat we deserve...wat say??
sounds like a staunch feminist or something huh?? but guys nothing of tat sort...cz i know somewhere, someday every youth feels the need of the self-decision-making right n craves for that space wich this society jus disregards to the core, isnt it??
ok ok i guess too much for my re-blogging, huh!!
For more tweesstyy lessons of life (now I know, my blog's header cud be nothing better than this!!), wait for my next post ;) but until then keep smiling n luving!!
