Its all in the mind

Life.

Everyone sees it through different eyes. The very beauty of life lies in its diversity. It offers joy. It offers sorrow. It offers thrill. It offers boredom. And it offers all these in varying proportions – its all roses to few, all thorns to others & a mix of both to the remaining.

Whatever it is, the stark truth is that once you are sailing in life you have to encounter all this. How you take what life offers you defines your character.

It is a universal truth that every human being walking on this planet is unique. That does not mean that the rules of the game for all the people are unique. Based on the geographical location, upbringing, past, peers, friends, other associations & profession there might be a slight variation in how the encounters are greeted by an individual. But it would not be wrong if we broadly conclude that everyone gets a fair share of everything that life offers.

The musings which follow are on the general events that man goes though in life. I’m not a spiritual guru or an old man who’s experienced everything about life. Nor am I a philosopher or the oracle. I have always believed in listening to everyone & finally doing what your heart tells you to do. It is great to read the Geeta, Bible Quran, Osho, Robin Sharma, Paulo Coelho etc.. as long as you can give it a practical thought & implement what feels right for you, rather than blindly following whatever is written in them.

Similarly I’m just pouring my thoughts over different topics of discussion. It is totally your discretion whether to believe it, learn from it, put it into practice or just keep it aside as one more line of thought. My intention is to learn & put forth my views as I’m struggling through this journey.
