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"

7.Finding True happiness in life

Finding True Happiness in Life The saying, "It is not how much we have, but how much we enjoy," encapsulates a profound truth about the pursuit of happiness. The very essence of life revolves around the pursuit of happiness, and this pursuit is fueled by hope. While the future is uncertain, we live with the hope that it holds something better for us. Consider the paradox of wealth and happiness. Many individuals amass vast fortunes and acquire material possessions beyond measure, yet they find themselves inexplicably unhappy. On the flip side, there are those who possess considerably less in terms of wealth and material goods, yet they radiate joy and contentment. Think back to a time when you yearned for something—perhaps a new car, a bigger house, or a promotion at work. You likely envisioned the happiness it would bring. But when you finally achieved your desired goal, the happiness you experienced may not have been as enduring or intense as you had imagined. Does this mea...

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...

Poverty

“What is poverty – the state of being extreme poor ”. Different people have the different poverty. Someone has poverty of wealth. some body has poverty of love, peace,  happiness, health… Everyone has the poverty. Everyone undergo the poverty. Nobody has abundance of everything.   Man was going to temple and saw the beggars sitting at the entrance and explained his child they are poor people and poverty state. He went inside the temple and started praying with the God to provide the health. Child was confused. My experience in the life is that, each one undergoes all type of poverty at different time. When I started my life I had poverty of money, worked for some time and started the business. The moment started experiencing money in hand started feeling the poverty of love after some time got married. Again found poverty of happiness then we had a child and so on. Also my experience is poverty of one can lead to poverty of other. The poverty def...
