“Not till your thoughts cease all their branching here and there, not till you abandon all thoughts of seeking for something, not till your mind is motionless as wood or stone, will you be on the right road to the Gate.”

تعلقات بڑھانے ہیں تو تھوڑی عادتیں بری بھی سیکھ لو۔۔
کوئی عیب نہ ہو تو لوگ محفلوں میں نہیں بلاتے۔
Now
“Be here now. Be in the moment. The now is the greatest moment of our lives and it just keeps getting better. The bad parts the boring parts the parts with high anxiety. Embrace every moment for its greatness. This is life. This is the greatest movie we’ll ever see.”
Kanye West
We grew up
Somewhere between
“ 8 toffees for 1 rupee” and
“1 toffee for 8 rupees”,
we grew up!
Somewhere between
“stealing chocolate from our sister” and “Buying chocolate for her children”,
we grew up!
Somewhere between
“Just five more mins Maa” and “Pressing the snooze button”,
we grew up!
Somewhere between
“Crying out loud just to get what we want” and
“Holding our tears when we are broken inside”,
we grew up!
Somewhere between
“I want to grow up” and
“I want to be a child again”,
we grew up!
Somewhere between
“Lets meet and plan” and
“Lets plan and meet”,
we grew up!
Somewhere between
“Being afraid of our parents”
and
“Praying for our parents” we finally grew up
And as we grew up, we realize;
How silently, our lives have changed..👌
Be a free person
“I don’t care whether you’re a top Wall Street banker, if somebody has to tell you when to be at work, what to wear, and how to behave, you’re not a free person.”
Naval Ravikant
Letting Go
“Letting go gives us freedom, and freedom is the only condition for happiness. If, in our heart, we still cling to anything – anger, anxiety, or possessions – we cannot be free.”
Thich Nhat Hanh
Commitment
“Unless commitment is made, there are only promises and hopes… but no plans”
Peter Drucker
Significance of opposite emotions
“Even a happy life cannot be without a measure of darkness, and the word happy would lose its meaning if it were not balanced by sadness. It is far better to take things as they come along with patience and equanimity.”
Carl Jung
Tears
“Heaven knows we need never be ashamed of our tears, for they are rain upon the blinding dust of earth, overlying our hard hearts. I was better after I had cried, than before – more sorry, more aware of my own ingratitude, more gentle.”
Charles Dickens
Strength of Hope
“Hope means hoping when things are hopeless, or it is no virtue at all… As long as matters are really hopeful, hope is mere flattery or platitude; it is only when everything is hopeless that hope begins to be a strength.”
G.K. Chesterton
