One step away

If you were just one step away from reaching your goal, would you take that step? How do you know, right now, that you're not?

What a shame it would be to stop making the effort, when just a little bit more would make it all worthwhile. What a shame it would be to have taken all those steps, only to miss the very last one. The next step you take may very well be the one that makes all the others count. You owe it to yourself, and the efforts you've made, to keep going. No, the next step may not get you there. Yet what about the one after that? If you keep moving ahead, a little at a time, you will indeed arrive. When you take that final, triumphant step, you'll be so very thankful you persevered.

At some point success is just one step away. Keep going and you'll be there. Must do: In each task that must be done, there is opportunity. See the task not as a burden, but as an encouragement to be fully alive and effective. The real burden would be the inability to do anything. No task is a burden, but is instead the chance to express your own aliveness. Does the work seem dreary, unimaginative, tedious or boring? That's mainly because your attitude makes it so. See what happens when you start by being thankful for the opportunity to do it. Your genuine gratitude will help you to see the positive value. When the things you must do become things you want to do, it can transform your life. Each moment takes on more meaning; each effort brings greater and greater reward. Rather than fighting and forcing yourself to do what must be done, let go of your resistance and allow yourself to accomplish. Let what you must, become what you want, and watch yourself begin to soar!

The View

Two men, both seriously ill, occupied the same hospital room. One man was allowed to sit up in his bed for an hour each afternoon to help drain the fluid from his lungs. His bed was next to the room's only window. The other man had to spend all his time flat on his back. The men talked for hours on end. They spoke of their wives and families, their homes, their jobs, their involvement in the military service, even where they had been on vacation.

And every afternoon when the man in the bed by the window could sit up, he would pass the time by describing to his roommate all the things he could see outside the window. The man in the other bed began to live for those one-hour periods where his world would be broadened and enlivened by all the activity and color of the world outside. The window overlooked a park with a lovely lake. Ducks and swans played on the water while children sailed their model boats.

Young lovers walked arm in arm amidst flowers of every color of the rainbow. Grand old trees graced the landscape, and a fine view of the city skyline could be seen in the distance. As the man by the window described all this in exquisite detail, the man on the other side of the room would close his eyes and imagine the picturesque scene. One warm afternoon the man by the window described a parade passing by. Although the other man couldn't hear the band, he could see it in his mind's eye as the gentleman by the window portrayed it with descriptive words.

Days and weeks passed in similar fashion. On morning, the day nurse arrived to bring water for their baths only to find the lifeless body of the man by the window, who had died peacefully in his sleep. She was saddened and called the hospital attendants to take the body away. As soon as it seemed appropriate, the other man asked if he could be moved next to the window. The nurse was happy to make the switch, and after making sure he was comfortable, she left him alone. Slowly, painfully, he propped himself up on one elbow to take his first look at the world outside. Finally, he would have the joy of seeing it for himself.

He strained to slowly turn to look out the window beside the bed. It faced a blank wall. The man asked the nurse what could have compelled his deceased roommate to describe such wonderful things outside this window. The nurse responded that the man was blind and could not even see the wall. She said, "Perhaps he just wanted to encourage you."

You Are Unique

Enjoy that uniqueness. You do not have to pretend in order to seem more like someone else. You weren't meant to be like someone else. You do not have to lie to conceal the parts of you that are not like what you see in anyone else.

You were meant to be different. Nowhere ever in all of history will the same things be going on in anyone's mind, soul and spirit as are going on in yours right now.

If you did not exist, there would be a hole in creation, a gap in history, something missing from the plan for humankind. Treasure your uniqueness. It is a gift given only to you. Enjoy it and share it!

No one can reach out to others in the same way that you can. No one can speak your words. No one can convey your meanings. No one can comfort with your kind of comfort. No one can bring your kind of understanding to another person.

No one can be cheerful and lighthearted and joyous in your way. No one can smile your smile. No one else can bring the whole unique impact of you to another human being.

Share your uniqueness. Let it be free to flow out among your family and friends and people you meet in the rush and clutter of living wherever you are. That gift of yourself was given you to enjoy and share. Give yourself away!

See it! Receive it! Let it tickle you! Let it form you and nudge you and inspire you!

love has not left them yet...!!!

Yesterday, it was a bad day for one of my best friend. He had break off with his girlfriend. so sad, His girlfriend is now his Ex-Girlfriend...

the day before yesterday, we met, he was in anger.. wanted break off on the spot.. he was on the phone only... screaming out on phone..
but yestrday, he met me in the evening, he was looking sad.. thank god, i felt, he has some humanity yet.. i was blank.. no expressions...

he was just remembering the things, how he proposed her, how they spent 2 & half year with each other... how they enjoyed little little moments, shared happy and sad moments also...

he was just going on n going on.. n i cudnt stop him... rather i dint want to stop him... i just let him to cherish his old memories.. may be he would feel much better later on...

after sometime.. he just stopped... kept quiet.. i felt he is going to cry out now... even i wasnt prepared for that... but.. he spoken a sentense.. i was freezed to hear that.. confused reaction at a time...

"we were living like a brother n sister.."

it was shocking to me, he explained - whenever they used to go by auto, she used to keep her bag or anything in between them.. she even never held his hand, anywhere in public place or private place.. she loved him but kept an unwanted space in between them.. she never used to stand with him at public place, as someone may recognize them... & the worst part was, she never allowed touch him nor allowed to touch her... even not a single Kiss..!!!

i was still freezed.. he was just saying n saying...

i asked him, why dint he asked her as soon as he realized.. he answered that she might be confused or uncomfortable with him.. as time passes she would feel comfortableness with him so, he left that topic... & nor she spoken a word about this because she felt.. this is his generosity...!!

wow.. what a closed mind!!
somehow, i was shocked n speechless also.. i was just hearing that... & thinking deeply in mind.. why? why this??

again n again, i felt one thing that, if someone is in the relationship then, he or she must understand their partner first.. their mindset.. their wishes, their behaviour in general or in any other situation.. their likes-dislikes, thoughts, habits must mixed up with partners habit.. this is the first step of any relationship.. i guess...

it doesnt mean that someone has to examine their partner, or meet the real side of the partner.. it not possible in short period, but frequent meetings may come over this... afterall, we are thinking about the life partner.. we cant be so much careless on our part.. ultimately.. we have to suffer from that...

its like a life time commitment but not adjustment...

in this case, i felt a thing purposefully that.. both of them taken themselves for grated... n this is the worst situation.. n now it affected both of them.. their life...

mistake is done by both of them its not by a single one.. communication gap may be the another reason.. they were chatting on phone for 2 hrs, but never spoken upon some important issues like this... as soon as, one of them realized this thing, they should have spoken about that at the same time...
and if they would have communicated properly, and known each other properly, then this problem would not have been raised...!!

anyways, still i feel, they should get back with each other.. they are made for each other...
i dont know how.. but they should..! because this is just a misunderstanding...
i kno.. its not so simple..!!!

& they will one day...!!! because they have left themselves..
but their love has not left them yet...!!!

while making friends..

"What is a friend? A single soul dwelling in two bodies" - Aristotle..

is this really true?? tonight i was thinking about it, how a single soul dwells in two bodies?? how it is possible..
may be answer is pyschologically.. or...

perhaps, i feel, the definitions are different given by different authors.. we dnt even need it... but in real sense what is friendship??

is it like, similar habits of two persons, similar state of mind, similar style or different habits, styles, or state of mind..??
Personally i feel, it never see whether it is similar things or different, it just see how the opposite person is??? it is related to physical & psychological traits of a person. and these criteria differs from person to person.

its all depend upon our perception... how we interpret someone...

some people think dark, ugly, physically unfit, mentally challenged person can not be their friends. some people think vice-versa.. such people keeps some criteria in their mind while choosing their friends.. while choosing their friends, is it really need to keep such criteria??

criteria can be something else like, trust-worthyness of that person, loyalty or honesty of that person etc... but then also people think about dark, ugly, handsome, tall, short etc. etc traits..

people says that "choose your friends cautiously.. be selective...", i feel this is a right thing.. but it doesnt mean that we should choose our friends on criteria of physical & psychological traits. no, never. till now even i have also come across lots of friends.. good friends, bad friends... while making friends i never kept any criteria.. people become my friend as we meet.. but later on, i have to decide with whom i have to keep good relationships & all...

if i also would be like selective while choosing my friends, i would choose selective people from a number of people. it doesnt mean that i have chosen right person as my friend. and even that time other might have thought like i am like a swagger... etc etc..

you can never expect, your chosen friend may behave like this or not, unless and until you know that person totally.. and if you know such person totally, then there is nothing to scare about a harm from that person.. because you know that person..
you trust that person negatively or positively.. and accordingly your mind will create your invisible shield!

you have a option while making friends is - you can be selective while making friends. choose a person, after knowing them totally, (i kno.. its not possible to know anyone totally without being a good friend..) after understanding their behaviour, their life-styles & other traits.. here people may think you are a swagger..

or your second option is - you can make as many as friends, and next step is know them, understand their behaviour and then think how you want to continue the friendship with them! in this method, you wont loose a single person you come across, who knows, out of so many people, someone may become your best friend, closest friend, life partner etc...

making all the people friends is not a habit, it is a personality trait how a person move ahead.. some people believe in making as many as friends as possible, some people prefer to stick their selective friends' principle.. its all about the tendency of a person...

i, personally, dnt think that there is danger in making as many as friends.. it is not because they can harm us.. it is because we stay careless... this careless harms us..
the mistake is on the part of us.. not their.. remaining thing is the attitude of chosen friend, and that you can not change it...
act according to situation, act according to the traits of opposite person.. it will never harm you.. it helps you to survive...


So, dnt be selective while making friends.. who knows, who will help you in any problem!!
just go ahead, give them a smile,
have a nice shake-hand...
& say - "Hey, would you like to be my friend??"

Sometimes...

Some feelings sink so deep into the Heart that
only loneliness can help you to find them,
sometimes we love with nothing more than hope,
sometimes we try to climb a hill up without a rope,
sometimes we find life is in no more gear,
and sometimes we cry with everything except tear...!

sometimes... i feel like i can fly, fly like a superman; i can save people like batman... can chess bad people, i can fight with monsters or bad evils even dangerous animals in this world.. lolz..
its all about superheroes..!

no, i am not talking about any superheroes here.. it just about "sometimes..". it just, how we define a sometime in our life... how we deliver our efforts to live in sometime.. how we imagine ourself sometimes...!!!

being a superhero, having a super natural powers does never mean that you can fight with the enemies, you can save people from calamities.. it doesnt mean that people will praise you..
keepin this apart.. but this thing, this feeling, gives a enthusiasm to human mind.. it keeps your mind clam and steady.. have you heard of it?

yeah, it really boost your morale. this is like a dream but with open eyes... as it is mostly deliberately we think.. it will be like, i can do this, i can do that, and everything will be alright, everything will be fine ever. people will praise me, enemies will shiver by hearing og my name..
this is the good side!

but what if, i am in bad mood.. mood off condition?? does it make me superheroes, with supernatural powers?? answer is "NO".. it does never...
simply, it depends upon our mood...

may be that time, anyone would love to be a most dangerous evil in this earth.. disgusting mindset... but it never means that the person is bad, it is just thoughts came out of his minds..
and if you cant control your thoughts, then how you will control others' thoughts..

by the time you will feel that, what i am saying here? why i am here?? but i think, it is upto you how you take it..

this "Sometimes.." title suggests, so many moments in our life that such moments have been passed away, and we feel like we could have done it better, we could have lived it better..

it doesnt mean that, you have to be a superhero and you should possess super natural powers to tackle such problems off..
it is because, we belive, we have that much capacity.. and due to ignorance, fear or anyother reasons we dont dare to prove it..
but Someday, we will do it!

Same like... "Sometimes..."
Sometimes..!

Am I really sorry for that...???

Am I really sorry for that...???

i dont know yet. It has been more than three months. but sometimes, i really cant, cant accept it. i believe myself, so did i make any mistake while believing others, keeping trust on others?

after a long time.. i made friendz. it was very good to spend a day with them. we enjoyed each & every moment. i had a crush on a girl, she was in my group also, even she was one of my best friend. but later on i got that she is already carrying out with someone, so i left all my feelings off there only...

we saw the up & downs of everyone's life. we enjoyed it & even we all suffered it also.. Sometime i felt like, is there anything to me greater than this..?? greater than this time? greater than this fun? answer was absolutely "No.., "Not at all.."..

later on, automatically groupism got started.. it was expected..and i got left alone somehow.. dnt know what was the reason... may b i wasnt interested in such groupism or may b i was unable to make someone to myside, or may be they didnt think about me for groupism criteria...

i dont kno what they think about me.. & it lead to raise of clashes, some word fights.. n i was the victim of all.. every topic of clashes started with me and ended up with me alone.
reason?
dnt know anymore.. but it was sure, according to them, i did wrong things.

I cant explain how that made me feel.. It hollowed me out inside...

it is not like, whole life i was alone, i lived without frinedz.. but i was famous in my group.. i was favourite in my group. i know how to handle a group, how to mix up with group.. but while thinking about this mentality, all knowledge of mine was useless... i cudnt make out anythings from that.. what was the reason for that...?

but then also, i used to behave like how i am, giving compliment to someone, teasing, joking around like that... but my compliment turned out into comments (bad), my friendly teasing turned into anxity of others... i dnt understood one thing, how it happened...?
may be my emotional attachment drew me crazy...!

while sleeping on my bed,
one night got a thing in my mind, groupism made them to think like that? or i was wrong at that time..
i tried to be as i was, but may be their internal contacts, their hidden talk, or may be something else... reason might be anything.. it turned me off into a bad image...

but whatsoever it was..but i really feel that, at this time also.. i dnt have any issues with them... dnt have hard feelings for them.. but somewhere in mind.. it hurts.. that people whom i made the best friendz of my life..
they made me a target..!

and it hurts sometimes...!! really hurts..!!!

Fear

Fear is a funny thing..
Kinda hard for me to explain i guess..

There are different types of fear. A fear of snakes, bugs, heights, bugs, things along that nature. those are the more typical fears, generally if you have one of those fears, what do you do, just stear clear of snakes, bugs, high buildings and other such things..

But then theres the other kind of fear. The real fear, the fear thats down deep in us all.. A fear of getting hurt, a fear of opening up to another person, a fear of showing someone else who you are and what you want, and getting turned down...

Avoiding Bugs and Spiders, doesnt really matter.. Who cares?
But, Closing your heart off to the world, putting on a mask so no-one can see your face, hiding behind fears, doubts, ie, if you hide from them, I think thats a greater loss than than standing up to you fears and failing.. Because at least you tried you know? But hiding from Other people hiding from love, hiding from opening up, You are really only hiding from yourself...

We all have fears.. they come in all shapes, colors, sizes, internal and external..
But its how we deal with our fears, That we see who we are.....

The fear will always be there..
But..
Maybe for a brief moment, just take a chance and walk on the edge, And see what you find....
