The emotion of Fear!

The emotion driving the majority of the emotion race is FEAR. It's fear which makes so many of us lead the kind of lives we lead. Fears like:

What will happen if I lose my job?

This fear keeps us in jobs we don't like. This fear makes us miserable everyday because we are doing something we are not quite born to do. What a pity! Job is tied to money and we need the money it brings. So, if I lose the job, I will have no money.

This fear stops us from trying to make money with something that we are really born to do. Trying to make a living doing someone we love-which takes time and we end up taking the short term approach and accepting a job which just does not match who we are.

What will happen if he/she leaves me?

Crazy creatures we are as human beings. We are so freaking insecure. The point is if someone wants to leave our company, they should leave our company. Why should people be made to stay in dead relationships. A relationship is dead when love dies on either side. And it does die. Something happens and it's over.

What if I fail at what I really want to become?

Now, some of us (when I say us, I am generally addressing us humans) do manage the guts to break free. When there is a chance that we might fail. Failure is giving up. If we fail in trying to achieve our destiny, we will die struggling to achieve our destiny. That's better than dying everyday doing things we don't want to do without realizing who are really are and what on earth we were put on earth to do.

What if I die?

There is a woman called Aruna Shaunbaug. She was a nurse in a hospital in her 20s. She was assaulted and raped by a ward boy. Since that day, she has been in a bed like a vegetable. One of the most unfortunate stories of contemporary India. That was 1973. This is 2011. She has been alive as a vegetable. An application was recently filed for euthanasia and Supreme Court delivered a confused judgement. My point is that she has stayed alive like a vegetable for 37 years! People die when they are supposed to.

These are just some of our fears- the major ones driving us mad.

I am guilty of being scared.

I am guilty of not quite having enough courage

I am guilty of not breaking free.

Till I do become a fearless man.

The kind of life I want to live!

"Lead a life so simple and powerful that there is nothing for anybody to take away from you. You can take away a position, a chair, a car, a perk.

Never honor."

wow! wow! wow!

Amar on happiness!

"Do what you love. Happiness is everything-the meaning, purpose and objective of every single day of life. Everything."

"The source of happiness to me seems to be love and courage. Guts to go after what we think is right against popular opinion. Popular opinion is the opinion of unpopular cowards. What's right is what makes us happy. The only parameter of any decision is if it makes us happy. If it does not, change course.


Happiness is everything. If you are not happy today, you have got to be doing something else. Age is immaterial. Most people spend their lives as walking carcasses anyways. If the pursuit of happiness takes every minute of it of your life, let it. It's all there is to life.

She walks in beauty....

SHE walks in beauty, like the night
Of cloudless climes and starry skies;
And all that 's best of dark and bright
Meet in her aspect and her eyes Thus mellow'd to that tender light 5 Which heaven to gaudy day denies. One shade the more, one ray the less, Had half impair'd the nameless grace Which waves in every raven tress, Or softly lightens o'er her face; 10 Where thoughts serenely sweet express How pure, how dear their dwelling-place. And on that cheek, and o'er that brow, So soft, so calm, yet eloquent, The smiles that win, the tints that glow, 15 But tell of days in goodness spent, A mind at peace with all below, A heart whose love is innocent!

super thoughts of the day!

i, just i, am my greatest friend and when my mind goes for a toss, my greatest enemy!

THE WILL TO WIN

If you want a thing bad enough

To go out and fight for it

Work day and night for it,

Give up your time and your sleep for it

If only desire of it

Makes you quite mad enough

Never to tire of it,

Makes you hold all other things cheap for it

If life seems all empty and useless without it

And all that you scheme and you dream is about it,

If gladly you will sweat for it,

Fret for it, Plan for it,

Lose all your terror of GOD or man for it

If you will simply go after than thing that you want

With all your capacity

Strength and sagacity,

Faith, hope and confidence, stern pertinacity

If neither cold poverty, famished and gaunt,

Nor sickness nor pain

of body or brain

Can turn you away from the thing that you want,

If dogged you besiege and beset it,

You will get it!
