Now, This is What I Call "Attitude"!

“I have learned silence from the talkative, tolerance from the intolerant, and kindness from the unkind. I should not be ungrateful to these teachers.”
— Khalil Gibran


It is beautiful how these words deliver their message without a trace of negativity. I hope it's not wrong to term it as "positive sarcasm". :)

Coming to the message conveyed by these words, I can decipher two of them.

1. Learning cannot be confined to particular sources. One can learn from anywhere and everywhere, anybody and everybody, anything and everything.

2. There is positivity in everything that seems glum and contradictory.

Not going into the depths of all the apparently preachy stuff, let me just conclude by highlighting the purpose of this post.

Sail through life by learning what you should and unlearning what you should not have.

I guess this sums it all up. And, do ponder over the quote that introduces the post. If you have grasped the meaning of it, then, the next time someone tries to flaunt their  "smartness" ( you know what I mean by that ) in front of you, you know what to do.

Knock them off with yours! ;) 

Believe me, it works! And, that too, with absolute positivity! :)


Stay virtuous. Stay peaceful. :)

A QUESTION-THE ANSWER TO ANOTHER ONE.

Many a time, we find ourselves in situations where silence speaks. Words struggle to adjust themselves to form a meaningful sentence. And, then, all is expressed through silent mutual understanding which is just so beautifully miracular.

Similarly, there arise questions whose answers cannot be put into words. They just have to be understood. Felt. And, sometimes, another question directs us to the answer of such queries. A silent answer to a loud question.

A part of my brain, suddenly, voiced a question that falls in the above category.

What is the name of the relationship that we share with our Creator?

In the next instant, another part of my brain volunteered to answer it (of course through another question).

What is the name of the relationship that you share with yourself?

I think the first part of my brain got its answer. :)

ALHUMDULILLAH! :)

Slave of Acceptance- Past.

How much ever, to bury, I try,
Somehow, the agonized Past comes by!

Stubbornly clinging on to gloom, it torments,
Depriving, of appreciation, the serendipitous moments!

By, painfully, marring my spiritual grace,
Ruthlessly, It shoves away Present's solace!

By pricking holes of 'could have been',
It, sadly, eclipses my faith in the unseen!

Nevertheless, the struggle to learn, goes on,
Though, It may seem oppressive with many a con.

"Nip it in the bud", as they say,
Is done to refrain from going astray.

So, how much ever, to come by, Past may try,
Somehow, Acceptance bids It a firm bye-bye! :)

ACCEPTANCE.

The path to Happiness. The key to Contentment. The secret to Serenity. 

"Knowing, believing and implementing the irrefutable fact, God's Will is what 'was', what 'is' and what 'will be' " is its definition.

Placing Faith, having Hope and Believing in God's Will are its properties.

Forcefulness and Negativity find no room in it.

Two simple steps comprise its procedure: "letting go" and "moving on".
Letting go of Ego and moving on with Life.
( You can't emerge victorious and joyous from trying times until you let go of your Ego that engenders the destructive feelings of 'why me?', 'could have', 'shouldn't have', 'what if', etc.
Life moves on. Are you moving along with it? Or are you being dragged along by it?)

No, 'it' is not some preachy, boring and theoretical method for pursuing happiness.

'It' is ACCEPTANCE- the easiest and the best practical method for pursuing (or let's say 'experiencing') happiness.

So, are YOU in a state of consistent ACCEPTANCE?
