Every Beginning Has An Ending

Every beginning has an ending, as people said. How true it can be, only to be witnessed when it happens. There were lots of happenings for past few weeks. First, there was an expected death in our family. That is how the title of this post starts. Endless sufferings and tortures has finally came to an end when the God decides this is the time for you to leave the world. He proves that He is the controller in this world. He who creates the life is the one who decides what should happen in your life, including the moment of parting from this world. This death incident in our family brings to our consciousness how we should treat our own life. Basically, it was excruciating moments of more than 5 months where I witnessed a person who was dear to us suffered right in front of our eyes. How fast can a life change? Just in a nick of time, the answer is.There was nothing much we could do. All we offered was the best we could do. We wished we could have done more, but we were helpless. We tried our best. We saw the sufferings. We wished the time arrived sooner. But it didn't. The God still had some of His dues to be paid. He took her away when His dues were settled eventually. All left were lifeless body and to those are who alive - lesson to be learnt. This person was someone close to my heart, even though we didn't spend much time together, but in a way I knew I was special to her. During the last 5 months was a challenging and trying period for our family. There were many questions asked and some we ourselves could not find the answers. We came to know we had to go through this as part of learning what life is all about. No one knows what is in store for you till the time comes. Are you being arrogant and selfish when you are on top of the world? The world is round they said. You could be at the peak of your life, enjoying your fortunes. Think twice. You will fall one day as nothing is permanent. Young will grow old as time pass by. Do you know how your life will end? Do you know who will be at your side when this happens? No one knows. Now at this moment , all you can do is to cherish what you have and do good to people. You reap what you sow. We should remember these words all the time.

A Reminder To Self

Have you ever woken up one day and wondered what have you done for your self? What purpose do you bring? How are you going to make yourself worth? Each time I wake up, I wondered how the day will be for me. How will I solve my problems? What are the challenges lined up for me? All the time, we go through the same routine. How different have you thought today? Do you ever think you should make a difference everyday? Should we be reminded rather than focusing on challenges and fulfilling your daily needs you must also think of your values? Why are we so selfish sometimes? To us we must concentrate in our problems. Make it go away. We need more money to survive. We need to earn our living. We need that and this.

Little we realized we are belittling ourselves. We are confining ourselves into a small world where only two things exist - ourselves and problems. Solving our issues made us to think creatively. This is how your brains are wired anyways. But we need to teach our brain to learn and accept that not just problems exist. There are more than that. There is the Creator. He who gives and takes it away. The power of Divine whom we should lean on. He who throws the challenges on us and entrusts faith at the same time. He who complicates matters but shows you the way to entangle it. Our goal should be to instill an acceptance. An acceptance where you will open your heart and say 'I shall be positive and train my mind to think good all the times'.

How important it is for us to maintain same level of positiveness ? Believe that you can. Nothing is impossible, everything is possible. Say the mantra you should do good everyday. Let it engulf you with good feelings reflecting you are making a difference directly or indirectly. It is a reminder for myself too!
