Accept the way it is...

-
We use people to get appreciation and acknowledgement to feel good, Feeling good in me is dependent on how other person acknowledge and appreciates. 

Now the question is,  Is it alright to expect other person to appreciate? If yes, the same expectation also makes, if he/she depreciate or criticise and not just opposite of appreciation, if we don't get appreciation also makes life miserable. How many of us like to listen the honest opinion like looking good or bad. Why we are miserable to accept the true opinion. 

During meditation, we expect the mobile to be silent mode. At the same time, we meditate, same tune as music played in back ground. Because we accept the same back ground  music,  but we do not accept the same tune of mobile while meditating. The opinions also are in the same way, We can accept the appreciation and not the opposite of that. The no appreciation or opposite of the appreciation makes us miserable in our life. 

We ask our child to dance in front of some body and we teach them to expect the appreciation. The character of expectation of appreciation is developed in the deep in our mind from childhood. 

Now the attitude of asking some bodies appreciation is grown to the extent in our life, is all about the impressing others. We live for others and forgotten ourselves. We are begging the appreciation and acknowledgement always. It sounds so ugly, but it is true in every body's life. 

"Stop expecting acknowledgements accept the way it is"

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
