Are you are bored of doing what you don’t want to do?

If you no longer believe in ‘Never Give Up’….

If you believe your old pattern of life can’t work anymore….

If you are too stressed and unhappy…

Then why don’t you give up? Free yourself!

Just give up and release your worries, fears,resentments, failures and guilt. At work or in your personal life, if you think you are failing again and again and it is not working for you, even after putting in all your energies and best efforts….just give up.

If people are not happy with you or if you believe that you are not made for something, then there is no point in hanging on. Maybe you have reached the end of the cycle and need to move on to another chapter in your life. Life is nudging you to move ahead through your discontent and unhappiness.

Do what You (your larger, universal self) are inspiring you (your smaller, everyday self) to do.

Do what makes you laugh and what you want to do repeatedly. Go where you can excel and show your best. Be with people who love and appreciate you. When you are fulfilled, there is no place for stress, unhappiness and repeated failures in life.

It is never easy to change professions or leave old, lifeless relationships behind. You might have commitments or social and personal responsibilities. But remember, you have one chance at this life and half of it may already be gone. The big question is: if not now, then when? When will you find the courage to live an authentic life where you are true to yourself?

Wake up now and get going. Make some plans and shake off your lethargy. Find yourself before you lose your will. Start from scratch or with your plan — but just start! Give up your excuses and get ready to embrace a new beginning with new hope. You deserve to be fulfilled and at peace. Don’t you?

The lady was busy in drying her clothes while she kept an eye on the children. Her son must have been about seven years of age and her daughter close to four years. Her youngest child was a girl, who seemed to be about a year old and she was sitting in the pram enjoying the game of her elder siblings.

The two kids were running to and fro, dancing, jumping on the chairs, rolling on the floor and laughing. Their game was not new and their gestures were ordinary. But I was captivated by their innocence, smiles and laughter which were as fresh as a morning breeze.

I wondered if I were like them when I was a child. Did I forget about the world and laugh to my heart’s content? Did I play similar games? Were my smiles as genuine as theirs coming directly from the heart? Was my laughter like tinkling bells?

As I stood there I wished I could be a carefree child again.

It is sad that as we grow older, we stop remembering the child in us. The busy lifestyle of today has taken everything from us that is carefree. We are paying the price for our complexities and technologies that we once created to make life simpler. We all need to make life simpler rather than more complex.

We should stop worrying about the things over which we have no control over and think of solutions rather than problems. The rat race for a big house, big job and more money will never end so why WORRY? We should enjoy and live each moment of our lives as if there is no tomorrow. So let the energy flow out of you! Smile at everybody you meet. Laugh out loud at silly things and let the child in you LIVE again…..

And the opportunities seem chosen,

The melodies from life seem stolen,

And the morality of people seems fallen….

But when I look into your eyes Dear

I see the world is still Shining.

When the compassion in people seems dried,

And their judgments seem all tried.

When the lips of truth have cried,

And the rights of humans denied….

And I am all helpless

To help my helplessness….

And then when I look into your eyes Dear,

I see the world is still Shining.
