I Feared UNTIL……!!!

I feared being alone
Until I learned to like Myself.

I feared failure
Until I realized that I only Fail when I don't try.

I feared success
Until I realized that I had to try in order to be happy with myself.

I feared people's opinions
Until I learned that people would have opinions about me anyway.

I feared rejection
Until I learned to have faith in myself.

I feared pain
Until I learned that it's necessary for growth.

I feared the truth
Until I saw the ugliness in lies.

I feared life
Until I experienced its beauty.

I feared death
Until I realized that it's not an end, but a beginning.

I feared my destiny,
Until I realized that I had the power to change my life.

I feared hate
Until I saw that it was nothing more than ignorance.

I feared love
Until it touched my heart, making the darkness fade into endless sunny days.

I feared ridicule
Until I learned how to laugh at myself.

I feared growing old
Until I realized that I gained wisdom every day.

I feared the future
Until I realized that Life just kept getting better.

I feared the past
Until I realized that It could no longer hurt me.

I feared the dark
Until I saw the beauty of the starlight.

I feared the light
Until I learned that the Truth would give me Strength.

I feared change,
Until I saw that even the most beautiful butterfly had to undergo a Metamorphosis before it could fly.

I guess , but again..I know it and not apply..one loves the self, one one works like a Karmayogi..so much so the actions remain and not the person..
Like as they "let my work speak for myself".

jai gurdev bhawana i think realization of goal happened with two wings this is i m quoting form yoga vashishtha first page where it says you need two wings to fly and right knowledge as well as right action is important to make things work :) like this i heard from bawa and its cool one knowledge of share market doesnt make u rich and without knowledge also just keep playing in share market doesnt make u rich, right knowledg and then applying that knowledge can definitely make u rich :) so when u do ur meditation its a realization that u r nobody then who will say to who that i m karmayogi or else :) i hope it make sense please do reply jai gurudev

It makes all the sense in the world!
Two wings, two feet , I get it.
But I just can't let go of the dicontentment,,,,"ok don't let go!"...now what "you gotta let go one day"...hmm
I guess this discontentment will have to let go of me..

Priorities of life

Stand out from the crowd Stop competing start excelling No one has to lose for you to win Be grateful for every act of kindness -a new breath -a new meal Loosen up, lighten up Keep showing up Know when to come up for air Challenge the boundaries Don’t settle for being what you used to be or have been Keep reaching for what you can yet become Don’t gossip, don’t nag, and don’t tailgate Take good health for granted Don’t postpone joy Honor the greatness and uniqueness in others Each day you have exactly the same number of minutes as Sri Sri Ravi Shankar Aristotal Mozart Mother Taresa da vinic Galilio Wave back at children on the school bus Laugh at least a hundred times a day Don’t wait for things to be funny , Laugh anyway Remember you will never get new results from repeating old habits Don’t let cobwebs form around your big dreams Call home Go the extra mile Stop to smell flowers Avoid ruts , once you r in on its ...

Hurdles of peace: What are the obstacles on the path to discovery? They add up to nine — Vyadhistyanasamshaya pramadalasyavirati bhrantidarshanalabdha bhoomikatvanavasthitatvani chittavikshepaste antarayaha meaning "Illness, inability to comprehend; doubt, carelessness, laziness, non-attachment towards the senses, hallucination, and non-attainment of any state or instability are the distractions of the mind which cause obstacles in the path". Vyadhi or illness in the body is the first obstacle. The second is styana or the illness in the mind that is either mentally challenged or is incapable of comprehension. For example, you will be perfectly alright but when you get to start meditating, sickness befalls you! If you are watching television, nothing happens, but if you sit down to meditate, the body grows restless. This is an obstacle in your path. The third obstacle Samshaya or doubt . You first need to understand doubt. Your doubts are always about something that is good. ...
