முயற்ச்சி

எந்த வரைபடதுகுள்ளும் சிக்காத தெசம்
எந்த கனிததுகுள்ளும் அடங்காத மன கனக்கு
எல்லாம் காதல் தான் !!

எல்லா கர்பனைகளுக்கும் அப்பாற்பட்ட
அர்புதங்களும் அபதங்களும் கொண்டது காதல்
இரண்டு இதயங்களுக்கு மட்டுமே கேட்கிற இன்னிசையை
எல்லோருக்கும் கெட்கச் செய்கிற முயற்சி தான் என் கவிதைகள்....

Why am I wrong again n again??

The Romans used to say: Video meliora probaque deteriara sequo. I t means “I can see what I ought and ought not to do and I go and do the latter”. How many times has this been true for you? Nor is it only our actions which are often self destructive but our feelings and beliefs about ourselves too. Little if anything limits people’s achievement more than their own self doubts and these are often unfounded. Why do people defeat themselves in this way??

Why do some people always seem to be trying but never quite making it? Why do some people seem to have more crises than others? Why do some people always end up in bad relationships with violent or unreliable partners? Why do some people seem to have more accidents than most? Why so some seem to have all the bad luck and little or none of the good??

In the most conspicuous cases its not due to lack of intelligence, skill, will power or resources. If they had little intelligence they would be unlikely to try in the first place. No the reasons are more subtle than this.

As people develop, they begin to air for certain things in life and learn how to go about achieving them. Rarely, though, do they learn to control the subtle forces which undermine their efforts.

How often have you seen a glaring opportunity but avoided it, thinking, ‘If its that certain why haven’t others taken it up?’ Then it has ‘come up trumps’ and you have sworn you will not let the chance slip by again – but you have.

Ok. So we know what’s wrong, but what can we do about it? Does anyone have a say???

While I breathe, I hope

The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. Attitude, to me, is more important than facts. It is more important than the past, the education, the money, than circumstances, than failure, than successes, than what other people think or say or do. It is more important than appearance, giftedness or skill. It will make or break a company... a church... a home. The remarkable thing is we have a choice everyday regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change our past.... we cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way.... We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude. I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% of how I react to it. And so it is with you.... we are in charge of our Attitudes.

Life is full of beauty. Notice it. Notice the bumble bee, the small child, and the smiling faces. Smell the rain, and feel the wind. Live your life to the fullest potential, and fight for your dreams. Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma - Don't let the noise of other's opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.

Unless your heart, your soul, and your whole being are behind every decision you make, the words from your mouth will be empty, and each action will be meaningless. Truth and confidence are the roots of happiness. Take up one idea. Make that one idea your life - think of it, dream of it, live on that idea. Let the brain, muscles, nerves, every part of your body, be full of that idea, and just leave every other idea alone. This is the way to success, that is way great spiritual giants are produced. For everything you have missed, you have gained something else, and for everything you gain, you lose something else.

Sometimes it's the smallest decisions that can change your life forever. Perhaps our eyes need to be washed by our tears once in a while, so that we can see Life with a clearer view again. If you will call your troubles experiences, and remember that every experience develops some latent force within you, you will grow vigorous and happy, however adverse your circumstances may seem to be.

I do believe that when we face challenges in life that are far beyond our own power, it's an opportunity to build on our faith, inner strength, and courage. I've learned that how we face challenges plays a big role in the outcome of them. A great attitude does much more than turn on the lights in our worlds; it seems to magically connect us to all sorts of serendipitous opportunities that were somehow absent before the change.

Anyone can give up, it's the easiest thing in the world to do. But to hold it together when everyone else would understand if you fell apart, that's true strength.

Carpe diem! Rejoice while you are alive; enjoy the day; live life to the fullest; make the most of what you have. It is later than you think.

Life is all Fuzzy!!!

It feels so very true! Every morning I wake up and see that we have plenty to be achieved and there’s so less time….Every man aspires for the horizon! He ponders over the accomplishments in his life, and contemplates on the opportunities that he has let pass by and at times wonder if he should regret.

And in the process we stumble upon the paths we took or rather need to take in life to reach those goals…

There are things you don’t learn in a classroom, and if your circumstances aren’t rich in the sort of input you need, you may not learn them at all. Unless you have a home where these things are specifically talked about and reinforced, or a mentor or guide of some sort, you may not be able to figure out where the road is, let alone how to take it, or what direction.

"To every man there openeth
A way, and ways, and a way.
And the high soul climbs the high way,
And the low soul gropes the low:
And in between, on the misty flats,
The rest drift to and fro.
But to every man there openeth
A high way and a low,
And every man decideth
The way his soul shall go."¬ John Oxenham

It’s all about what we ever wanted in life…A lot of times when you’re down, it’s easy to look up and say ‘here we go again. Pull yourself together, persevere, and obviously were not going to take it as a loss. It’s a lesson and a check point in life where the individual learns a vital piece of information which others may have missed. At the end it all boils down to one thing. Can I stand up again n move ahead in life on the same path I took?

Yeah people may quarrel over the path taken being good or bad et al. But there’s nothing right or wrong in this world. It’s just the perception tats different from person to person!

Alrite so I chose to move ahead come what may….Next what do I see lying ahead of me? So there lies another cross road waiting with arms wide open….Boy o Boy wait a minute I have something more here in store…..Experience! True……Where ever we go we take a little of each other...

"I am a part of all that I have met;
Yet all experience is an arch where through
Gleams that untravelled world, whose margin fades
For ever and for ever when I move.
How dull it is to pause, to make an end,
To rust unburnished, not to shine in use!
Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will
To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield."¬ Alfred Lord Tennyson

So that’s where the never ending journey begins again….afresh, anew…. N yeah again the same fuzzy crossroad one would meet, aaaand......Miles to go before you sleep!
