Lets prefer peace over everything....!!!

-

A question arises in my mind at times why are we doing everything. Why are we studying, why are we earning ? Till my intellect goes it is just to achieve something. Now this "something" may vary from person to person. Some want money, some crave respect and some wish for happiness. Its all about what tops our priority list. I agree on this fact that everyone has a different mindset, different perspectives as well. But what is that "something" which can give you an immensely satisfied sleep at night. According to my little knowledge after living in this materialistic world, it is only inner peace.


Now by peace, I don't really mean silence. As per a saying peace does not mean to be in a place of no noise, trouble or hard work. It means to be in the midst of all these things and still be calm in your heart. This seems to be simple and really easy to achieve but the history speaks about people who have conquered the world but still didn't find peace. Many have sacrificed all of their possessions to find the same. But according to me, its neither so easy as to just get up one day and find peace and nor so difficult as in leave the world and go in the depth of forests or himalayas to find it. The secret is that the key of everything lies in our daily routines itself.



A few ways I have discovered till date which led to peace are worth sharing. They are suggestions as well for those who are befuddled with the real meaning of life.
We all are running in a race, the finish line is an end to a beautiful journey called life. So stop for while to find peace, you will find it nearby. Look at poor child of labourer or at any traffic signal begging for food. Take a moment to buy something to eat for them. He or she may be really young to bless you but that smile on their face will definitely lead to inner peace. Life always gives us two options. One is buy a chocolate...enjoy its taste. Other is donate it and enjoy the peace. The queen of fortune is blind so feel lucky to have such a blessed life. The best thing we can do is to change a life.


We all have a soul which knows what is right but we all must had faced situations where supporting the right side wasn't so easy. At that moment of time if you stood for the right no matter if you were alone will lead to respect for yourself in your own eyes. This will eventually head towards peace. A few seconds of a clumsy mindset can disturb us for our whole lives for being wrong. Living in regret is not easy at all.



Some suggestions can change lives and the same happened with me. We all try to be our best versions but at times we forget to be ourselves first. Dalai lama once said that don't let the behaviour of others destroy your inner peace. What is happening with us daily is a pure contradiction of the above statement. Someone once told me not to change myself for someone and I suggest you the same today. If from the depth of your heart you know you are right, don't change yourself for a person who did bad to you. Water can be water not fire but still can overcome the fire.
Be what you are and

We are meant to cross paths for a reason.

8.2 billion people exist in this world at this very moment, each with a different journey. Yet, every individual would agree that the thing we call "Life" is undeniably erratic in nature. The same upbringing, different personalities. The same circumstances, yet different decisions. The same decisions, yet different outcomes. Similar paths chosen, but distinct expeditions and diverse adventures. All of this still makes me wonder how billions of people coexist in harmony, even though any leading world news channel would exaggerate and oppose this view. I still stand strong, asking why we smile back at a stranger who was looking forward to that smile with warm eyes. Why do we help an old man pick up the lemons and oranges that fell from his grocery bag? Why don't we first judge them as well by their race or religion? The reason is that the ground reality is miles apart from what is projected by political leaders worldwide. But then I ponder the thought: why do we cross paths...

Happiness is an inside job...!!

Often in life, we pursue everything with a single, overarching motive: to be happy. We choose careers that feel good on the inside, believing they align with our true selves. Yet, if we ever choose a path for other reasons, like money, we eventually find ourselves frustrated—not with the life we’ve created, but with the life we couldn’t. We marry someone, hoping they will lead us to a happiness we’ve struggled to find on our own. We move across the globe, change cities, all in search of a feeling of wholeness, a state of peace where even a simple movie night brings joy. We yearn to create moments of happiness, with dreams of sharing them with our parents, our children, and maybe even our grandchildren one day. But life goes on, and we keep searching for something so vital, looking in places we’ve always expected to find it. When disappointment comes, we shift our focus, searching in unfamiliar places, thinking that maybe, just maybe, strangers and strange lands won’t disappoint us as m...

Believe in yourself because doubt kills more dreams than failure ever will.

The best thing that you can do for yourself is believe in yourself and the worst is surely self doubt. Ability to believe in yourself has the power to change your life. Just give it a thought, what difference would it make if you have an unshakable faith in yourself. How easy will it be to achieve anything if you believed in yourself with such deep conviction and with no fear of failure. Success is a journey and failure is just a milestone but doubt is the real enemy of your dreams. Before proving it to anyone else, prove it to yourself that you are capable and good enough to achieve anything that you dream about. Take into consideration the difficulties which you may encounter in the journey but don't let it give birth to doubt which makes your focus blurred. Doubt won't lead you to anything worthy but you will only end up regretting about the chances that you missed, about the opportunities that you didn't make the best of. Be courageous to take the risks in life. An...
