where the mind is without fear........

"Where the mind is without fear,
and the head is held high..."
Famous words from one of the most learned man in the world.
Though what is worth thinking about is....
Why does fear exist? Fear of what?
Fear of death,faliure, the unknown,the unexpected or of fear itself??

I have come to believe that destiny is all that matters.
Being afraid or fearing an event or emotion or even a person will not
change anything.
The key is to face it head on.
A friend once told me, think of the worst thing that can happen.
Now think that it has happened and how you will deal with it.
Once you know your plan-of-action and how you will deal, it is all
down hill from there.

"Que sera sera...whatever will be will be......"
A very powerful verse and an even more powerful song....

Its funny how the Gita and the Bible teach you the same thing.
Do what is in your power and do not worry about the consequences.
What is meant to be will be and what is not meant to be will never be
no matter how hard you try.

There is nothing to fear except fear itself.
Nothing is as bad as it seems.
Tomorrow is another day.
Time and tide waits for none.

When I was small and learnt these lines in school,
I never realized then how profound these lines are
and have changed my perspective towards life.

All I have learnt is, take each day as it comes. Take the
bad with a pinch of salt and the good with a smile and a thanks in your
heart!

Always keep your chin up and look life in the eye,
challenge it as if to say , "Bring it on....."

days.....like leaves on a tree....

Days could be like leaves, turning and changing.
Some flying away while some clinging on….

Where does each go…I don’t know?
Why does it go? I don’t know!

But I know that each one is special.
It’s different. Just like each snow flake is different.

One should be able to appreciate that we still have days left.
Like a few leaves left on a tree.
It is spring in our lives today but you never know….
Autumn might just be around the corner.
Today you feel your life is in full bloom but the next time you check,
It’s all gone.
It could happen that today you feel dejected that all the leaves of your life
Are falling apart but you never know, a new bud might just be hesitantly trying…..to bloom.

Never take your life for granted.
It’s never too late to take care of your tree of life.
Nurture it. Love it. Take care of.
As they say….
You only live once so make sure it’s blooming good.
