Musings from my heart

The secret of having it all is believing you already do.

My heart is singing a song which has no beginning or end. Its a constant hymn which is spreading within me and i have my emotions ride on a wave which is hitting the shore and going back. Sometimes the shore is within my reach , yet i cannot find the ground.

Some one once told me "You become what you believe". First time when i heard this, i could not stop laughing. I told the person such jargon sounds good on stage, when one is motivating people. To which all i got in return was , you are too young, one day this will make sense to you . I agree i was too young and naive to understand the tides which we go through. Emotions play a big role in our growth and the one who can emote with no biased feelings will be able to ride the tides with ease.

Happy people emote happiness and so on all emotions create their own space within our life. I am not a big fan of people who are always finding faults. Anticipating a problem to find a solution is good but always finding faults for no reason spreads a lot of negative and demoralising emotions around.
I get angry a lot, when i see things going haywire or i come across some lazy genetic humans. I believe , i cannot create my clones, but i also don't want to be surrounded by such individuals.

Such thoughts play in my mind when i am looking for the shoreline, but then i ask one question : Why am i looking for the shoreline? The Shore is within me. I am the ground, whether i am restless or at ease. Its all within me. But then the cloud of doubt puts a haze around my vision and i can see no further.

When i started meditation, the most prominent thought : Who am i? came into question. My heart was laughing while my brain was trying all logical explanations of my own existence. We spend our entire life answering this one simple question. I am......
Maybe i am the existence which came into being when there was nothing. Or maybe I am a name, a whisper or a thought but in my reality i am who i believe to be. Thats when i realised "You become what you believe" From nothing i am, from everything i am.... my heart is my soul and my life is a mirage but with what i have the only constant is "I". Then the prominent question arises " Change is the only constant" so am i to believe  that "I" changes with time. My belief , my being, myself will change with time?

Over time i realised that one can be happy with minimalistic belongings or one can be insatiable with the world in their palm. The choice is always ours.

If any one of you reading this , has a smile on your face, maybe i have found someone who has similar musings from their heart. Maybe i hit a chord while you are reading this, but seriously do ask this question : What do we really believe in? Ourselves or others authentication on what we believe in.

In the end " You are, your favourite work of Art"

Cheers to Good life

Life is not a fairy tale. If you lose your shoe at midnight.... You are drunk!

How many times have we badgered or sulked in our life? Count and suddenly we realise that we made numerical system just to keep counting the badgering and negative behaviours.
How many times have we been grateful for our life? Suddenly we realise that we never got education and numerical system does not exist in us. Such is the tale of us and life.
Our best teacher, our best friend and our soul mate is our very own life. It teaches us to be patient, to be kind and foremost to be human. But then when was it that the human spirit could be tamed? Life does not expect us to be tamed, it expects us to live out our fears and go beyond our limits.
Sometimes life pushes us to test our limits, while other times we push life to live in our comfort zone.  This battle has been going on for ages, the one's who understood that life is our best companion found happiness in smallest of things.
Last few weeks have been stressful for me. Moving out of my comfort zone and leave my country was the one of the tests life gave me. Then to arrange for Sam to move with us was another challenge and in between all this was to say goodbye to my family and friends. If i can count all the sulking i did in my mind, i don't think i can fit in the zero's behind the digits. But in the end i am grateful of this move and the change which has happened.

True to this quote; " Take every chance you get in life, because somethings only happen once".

Missed opportunities which we think about, 'what if ' plays a big role in our existence. Yet we choose to be fearful of the unknown and live in circles our whole life. An invisible tangent does appear now and then for us to take the leap of faith, many let it go while the fearless souls thread on the road less travelled by.
My father celebrated his 80th birthday last week, it was a great celebration. Fit for a man who has lived his life on his terms. I am very grateful to both my parents for instilling the fearless quality in both me and my brother. My father's favourite song when ever things would not go as planned " Que sera , sera, whatever will be will be, the future's not ours to see. Que sera sera" He has been my role model, and watching him fight the odds to live his life on his terms, made me realise that life is my companion. Through ups and down it tests me and my soul can only grow if i move from my comfort zone and test my limits to be limitless.
Dear Zindagi, thank you for being my best teacher, my best friend and my soul mate.
I have learnt one very important message from my life; No matter where you are in life, celebrate it. It's either a product of your growth or a place that will help you grow.
Cheers to Today!
