Don't Just say you care , Express it too !!

Our parents have done so much for us. Have been there with us through all our trials and triumphs. Guided us, supported us, loved us , corrected us, nurtured us and so much more. What all they do for us cannot be expressed in words . We often acknowledge what they have done and say that we really care for them .
But how many of us truly express it to them?? I think very few. Its equally important to show or express the love , respect and dignity we have for our elders. All our elders deserve true respect and love which should actually be EXPRESSED to them rather then just saying " We really care." Through my own experience and many others I have felt that elders don't need anything else than love , affection and true respect. Then why does it become so difficult to express that love to them.
Don't think that there is no need to express when they already know how much I care for them. Its equally important and essential to say it . Just think, if everyday you express some of your love to them How happy they would be. Sometimes the simple gesture of saying , "OH !! Mom Dad, I love you so much !!" makes them feel so special . And what does it takes from you , just nothing. Infact whenever you will make them feel special, you yourself will feel so happy and will love them even more.
I do it daily , I make it a point that I make them feel special some way . Let me list some things that I often try.
-- I often go in the kitchen and hug my mom and say " I love you so much !! . You are so special"
-- Whenever Dad is tired , just acknowledge the hard work he does for all of us and say "Papa you must be tired , you work so hard for us. I am really grateful to have you ".
-- When mumma is tired and doesn't want to cook , I offer her that I will make the dinner today . ( Not very often I say this but sometimes I do :) )
-- Just tell them the good qualities which you would like to imbibe from them. Like I want to be a great human being like my mother and yes I make it a point I say it to her .
-- Make mother's day and father's day a special day for them. Some occasions are great opportunities to express your love . It can be by giving them a surprise, going out , giving a card, a gift, or just a hug saying "How precious you are for me."
There are so many other million things you can do , What I wanna convey here is that just don't hide the love you have for your elders , express it and see the change it brings in your relationships.
All the best to all of you !! I just love my parents so much !! They are really special and I take care that I make them feel it very often !!

First create , than Spread Happiness !!

I have made a rule in my life that I will create more happiness for myself and for the people around me. I truly believe that true happiness entirely depends on your attitude towards life. If your attitude is positive, forgiving than no situation can bring sadness in your life. Often it happens that problems do come in your life but it again depends on your attitude that whether you focus on the problems or the solution for those problems. Its quite insane to resist what has already happend in your life. It cannot be undone , so the most logical step to follow is to look for solutions rather than talking about the problems and feeling bad.

By applying this simple rule into my life , I am able to create happiness in each moment and thus spread more happiness to others as well. As it is been said that one who is happy fom inside can create outer happiness for others. I feel so blessed that whatever happens in my life is always for my good . When you start feeling this way and have the feeling of satisfaction that I have talked about in my previous post than automatically happiness comes into your life.

Now that I have followed the first step of creating happiness from within so I can go on to next step to spreading it effortlessly for those around me. Everyday I make it a point that atleast I help any two people in this world and bring smile on their face. I have been regularly doing it past some days and at the end of the day when I think about what I have done today I feel so happy and cheerful. Its really an amazing feel. You all try it too , today make a promise to yourself that everyday you will do some good and bring smile to atleast two persons in this world . Just imagine that if everybody starts creating happiness for others how lovely this life will become for each one of us. So come on join in and create more happiness !!! Just stay happy , Life is really amazing and beautiful !!! :)

Satisfaction ..... A simple WAy to Inner Peace and Eternal Happiness!!

Satisfaction in a person's life is a way to peace and harmony. Here I am not talking about aimless life or desireless life but what I am saying is not attaching to those outcomes and desires, rather being happy , content in the present while setting goals for the future. The future will take care of itself but what we truly have with us is NOW , the eternal present.

Being satisfied doesn't mean that your desires are dead for the future or the conviction and intention to achieve something ends. No, it doesn't mean this. It simply means that you are satisfied with the present situation of your life having no regrets, no hard feelings like resentment, deficiency, jealousy, hatred etc which thus helps you to attain inner peace and happiness maintaining the optimism to achieve what else you want in the future.

By following this act of satisfaction , which brings happiness to a being he is even more energised to achieve greater things in the future as well . This is because his mind power is not leaking away in unnecessary regret, worries , sadness from the past , but in contrast he is very happy in the present and thus focusses all his power in the present for attaining even bigger goals in the future. Only a happy being can create more happiness into his life.

Thus by accepting the NOW, embracing the present without any complaints and feeling grateful to what you have received You attract long lasting peace and cheerfulness.

As said by Zen masters Dont try to force outcomes , let them happen. Be open to what emerges in your life as you never know what will happen or what opportunities will arise , until you arrive at that moment. So just learn to be content satisfied and happy with what God has offered you now keeping the faith that when the time will be right you will get what all you want in your life.

We have no way to predict the future . We cannot control it. And when we admit we can't predict or plan or control the future whats the next logical step? Just accept the present moment gracefully with content and smile and have faith in God !! He can see the bigger picture and gives you what is the best for you. Believe me on this !!
