Grow out of struggle

-


Sometime the struggles’ are exactly what we need in our life. If I look at my past , today what I am is because of the struggle which I went through. It created a confidence in me to think big in  my life.  The difficulties in my life helped to discover myself.

I always admire the story of butterfly and cocoon, the boy helped the cocoon to come out but it dies… “ The egg is broken from inside life starts, if it is broken from outside life ends..
If God allowed me to go through my life without any obstacles, it would cripple me. I would not be as strong as what I could have been. And I could never fly.

In fact, it is the struggle that causes to develop the ability to fly.

The Swami vivekanda words always inspire me after this realization.
 “When I asked God for strength, he gave me difficult situation to face.”
“When I asked God for the wealth, he showed me how to work hard”
“When I asked God for happiness, he showed me some unhappy people”
All these examples speak about becoming strong within. Do not look for the support outside; always think how to build self.

A man in the circus had 10 lions; everyday he was feeding prepared meat. After some time the circus was not doing  and he was unable to feed, so he dropped them in to the forest. After few days he came to know only three is alive and rest was eaten by forest dogs. Even Lions have lost the strength to find its own meet.

Life without struggle will be like circus lions, It kills the strength with in us. Accept the difficulties, grow out of struggle discover your strength.

Today's maturity is different form yesterday's

Arivu  ಅರಿವು … The Maturity at which we deal today is different from the maturity with which we dealt same on yesterday. I was discussing with a good friend of mine for his decision of postponing his marriage even after late 30’s.  He questioned me, what makes difference if it is too late marriage? Suddenly did not have answer to justify. But I believe, the intimacy at innocence age has different experience and feeling than the intimacy after over maturity. Every day pass by, we add an experience. Every time we meet a person we add an experience and get matured. It is foolish to say, I am meeting today with the same maturity had yesterday. Every experience showered gives a maturity in your life. I always say in my beginning of the speech, the person walked inside this room is not the same person when you go back. It adds a new experience in his life and adds a new wisdom on to the person. And it is true the person  gets next level of maturity when he goes back.

33. Count your blessings not the troubles

 Count your blessings not the troubles  In my journey of life and the lessons gleaned from personal experiences that I aspire to share in the book I am endeavoring to publish, one profound revelation stands out. It revolves around our tendency to attribute our challenges and discontent to external factors—the country we reside in, the state and city we belong to, the educational institutions we attended, or even our family lineage. We extend this blame to the very fabric of our society, including our parents and their predecessors. Yet, upon closer examination, it becomes evident that the prosperity or adversity of a nation isn't solely determined by geographical location or available resources. Take Japan, for instance—a nation with limited arable land and abundant mountains. Despite these seemingly unfavorable conditions, Japan has emerged as a global economic powerhouse, relying on its innovative prowess rather than abundant resources. Notably, intellectual and racial differenc

"Covid 19 Pandemic: Embracing Life's True Values" The COVID-19 pandemic shook the world, forcing us to reevaluate our lives, our priorities, and our values. In the face of uncertainty, the pandemic taught us invaluable lessons that we must carry forward. These lessons are a testament to the strength of the human spirit and a reminder of what truly matters in life.  Life's Fragility:   "In the crucible of the pandemic, the fragility of life became painfully evident, etched into the fabric of a personal tragedy that unfolded within the circles of my closest friends. The story began when a dear friend's husband, on a business trip to Bangalore, found himself entangled in the clutches of COVID-19. The hotel where he stayed instructed him to leave immediately and go to the hospital. However, finding a good hospital was challenging, and he sought my help. An urgent plea for help echoed from both Bangalore and Delhi, where his wife anxiously reached out to me, seeki
