Mind Mirror

Ego says, Once everything falls into place, I'll feel peace." Spirit says, "Find your peace, and then everything will fall into place."

There is restlessness, commotion, and noise everywhere out there. There is a state of confusion and we are plunging more and more into meaningless thoughts.

Among everything, ego is our worst enemy. Many of us think that it is something to be proud about and it is good to keep it. Although it gives us the feeling of superiority, but also makes us alone.

Love, gratitude and the ability to apologize solves most of the greatest problems in our lives and clears many misunderstandings. But ego comes in between the way. It doesn't let us bow in front of anybody.

Thus we cannot feel peace and hence, there is restlessness, commotion, and noise inside us. Ego kills us from inside. It is a parasite which grows in us and destroys us.

So, let it go and grow yourself.

Women are rivers. She flows at her most beautiful form when untamed, unhindered and when messed with it, she may bring flood. She gives life, also she brings life to others' lives. She is like a rose, beautiful and soft but with thorns. She may look too simple but her heart may be full of complications. Her lips may smile but she may carry an unbearable pain of sadness in her eyes.

She can leave her share of happiness for others. She bears drastic pain to bring life in this world. She can carries the happiness, misery, comforts, discomforts, compliments and complaints of her family. She craves for love, but when doesn't get the love she deserves, she silently cries the whole night, and the next day no one can know this.

She is a human being who has the right to live freely, think freely. She deserves to be respected, so don't look down upon her. She is not the weaker sex, she is just the other sex, for it takes great deal of strength to be a woman.

This world is choking, destroying, and corroding from inside. We strongly need humanity to make this world a beautiful place to live. Because what makes us see beauty is what's inside us. We should be kind, helping, forgiving. But in all these we must never close our eyes and not see that someone deserves our kindness or not.

We all know that straight trees are cut first. Forgiveness and kindness is a very big ability to keep, but people easily confuse it with foolishness. When people get to know the softness of your heart, they sometimes intend to misuse it.

Therefore, don't be blind and keep the ability to understand that who deserves your kindness. Don't let people confuse your kindness and acceptance with you being a doormat.

Life is a series of achievements and losses. Among all these we all want to achieve happiness, a true one. But what restrains us from achieving it is none other than ourselves. It is a bitter truth of our lives, whether accept it or not, we ourselves prevent us to be happy. Because of our own selves we limit us to live our life fully and to fulfill our dreams.

We are so much lost in thoughts of what we have lost that we are not able to see what's right in front of us. How can we live in the present when we are holding back the past. When we are thinking about something or someone we lost, or something we cannot get, or in the sorrow of a defeat, we are losing nothing but ourselves and our precious time. All these insecurities, jealousy, negativity, stubbornness, expectations just destroys us.

So why make the life more and more complicated. To enjoy what's in the present we must know to let go off the past, the things which cannot be ours, the persons who are not meant to be in our lives. We are human beings, we cannot completely forget all these, but what we must know is letting go.

Just remember there's nothing like perfect life, we don't always get what we want. Don't depend on others for your own happiness. Fall in love yourself first and see how beautiful life actually is.

Why should we not calmly and patiently review our own thoughts, and thoroughly examine and see what these appearances in us really are? ~Plato

We, the human beings, with different habits, different nature, different characters, different likes and dislikes, think differently, do things differently. We usually categorize things and acts in good and bad. People say one has done some good, great thing or has done something bad, evil or malicious. We usually see what others do, judge them, categorize their deeds and serve the thoughts to ourselves as well as others allowing others to prejudice someone.

Now think, have we ever given this time to see ourselves, not the outer appearance, but the inner one. No, accept it or not most people don't. We know if we are doing something right or wrong. We don't need anyone to tell this, we already know this, because we are born with this quality. A child doing some mischief is always afraid because, whether or not he realizes it, he knows it's wrong. People won't accept their wrong deeds or thoughts because they are afraid, afraid of facing themselves.

Instead of judging others, wasting our precious time and energy thinking about someone's deed why not we devote us to ourselves, grow ourselves spiritually. Let the fresh air in the form of fresh thoughts come through the window of your heart.

Sometimes I wish I was a bird, flying in the midst of an ocean, gliding through the clouds, sitting on the top of a really high tree.

Many people are lucky enough to get a roof on their head, food to fill their stomach and clothes to cover themselves up. Those have everything they actually need to live. But there is something more that we need, we need progress, both for the society and for ourselves. For this we struggle, we work hard, we do everything that keeps us get going, that lifts us up.

But in all these we sometimes lose a very important thing, actually a precious feeling from our life. We lose our freedom, we forget what being free is like. We actually know that something is lacking in our life, something is lacking in the ingredients for complete happiness. That void is unseen but can be felt. We feel like being in deep water, not able to breath, we choke, but we continue to do things for progress.

We forget the moving air that smoothly touches us, the fresh air that fills our lungs, the beautiful sunset that overwhelms us, the love of our mother, the precious moments with our lover. We forget the time in which we think about us and others, in which we grow our inner self. We forget to smile, we forget our own laugh, we forget ourselves.

Progress is good for us, actually necessary as a human being, but never let freedom move out of your life. Keep the freedom in your heart and let it flourish.
