Reflection

-
Just came up with an insight, It's about the distinction between worry and reflection. So many thought authors or great personalities counsel us to avoid living in the past. “Live in the now,” they advise. “Enjoy the moment.” Well, I get what they are saying. But isn't there something good about going back and delighting in the delicious moments of the journey we've arrived from?

Which brings me to worry versus reflection. Whether to revisit the past - in my mind - depends on your intention. If your intention and reason to go back into your past is to dwell on bad things and to worry over things you cannot change and to rehash painful times, then I suggest it's an unhealthy act. But, if your intention - in going back in time - is to reflect on the lessons events have taught you and to grow in wisdom and to savor the precious memories that you were blessed enough to experience well then I think it's good.

Of course, I still remember the old adage - Even if you win the rat race, you are still a RAT –so that means even if you lose you will still be a RAT. Therefore our past can be useful to us to move forward in life by learning good things from it and analyzing the wrong that happened and be more careful never to repeat the same, after all that’s what LIFE is all about …….learning from experiences.

Hey Reema,,,

i would have to complete de phrase "Learning from experiences"

I would say "enjoy the momment and live by learning from experiences"

Or maybe "Enjoy the momment and use your instinct" (like animals!)

Dont know if I got that one right, not much of an english writter...

Im with you when u say that its great to go back in time and see those great momments (if only w could dream about them wennever we want, uh?) and thats very unhealty to go back in the past...

But its good to go back to the past... that way you wont go thru the same mistakes (of course, there are a lot more of mistakes to step into)

JUSTIFICATIONS

Today i found that i try to justify everyone that i am right. why i do so…. i see the reason is my inferiority complex. Not having enough faith in myself. I should always watch this. i should accept other's view as their own view and until they are something of importance why waste time in useless justification of me. Silence is the key. it seems there is no answers of the questions which arise in mind. There are questions behind questions……….. doubts behind the doubts. But i don't want to be silent……… may be i am waiting …… till i exhaust & give up………And rest in silence.

Trust

These days I find it hard to trust anyone... even my friends whom I have known for so long....for its getting tougher to find a person with a true self, without a mask on and behaving like someone else who they are not in the real life... also what I hate is advice from such mindless (maybe intelligent) people...I fear if they have their own opinions anytime or are they are more smarter and exactly know where and how to click. I also wonder if they enjoy doing such things...or do they just lack self-belief and confidence or are they very high on it? I do understand that I shouldn’t be saying this as it is anyone’s personal choice of leading a life… but this is where I find human behaviour hard to comprehend and understand. I feel it liberating, when one can trust someone completely. But it could only be possible when one can honestly speak things on one's mind without processing about being politically correct all the time. It makes remember the lines….. A simple promise Of being t...

Mirage...

A famous Persian saying translates that if you have being to a desert and never fallen prey to a mirage, then its nothing to be proud of, rather except the fact that you never were thirsty for water”…how true. Life is not about what we get from it rather it is about what we become from what it gives us. There are situations in our life that can make us responsible, conscientious and so on…I mean it can bring out all the good or destructive things in you. In such a situation what matters most is our own thought about the matter. Never to get driven away by what others think. Try to be yourself and have firm hold on you beliefs. Many a times we are faced with the reality that our current situation is not always favorable to having victory. But that doesn’t mean that we are at a loss. From this it feels Life is like a state of mind…it mostly shows or reflect the same way you perceive it to be. If you are hungry for more, (and you should be...after all it is just one short life that we are...
