Happiness, Peace and Love

If you seek happiness, then first limit your desires. Have an attitude of gratitude towards the universe, to provide you, what you already have. And then you will have reasons to rejoice and be happy
If you seek peace, then first resolve the conflicts in your mind. It is not the situation that gives rise to conflicts. The true conflict is in your mind due to your perceptions, doubts and expectations. Make peace by letting go of your expectations, accepting and trusting the situation, appreciating the good that every situation has. Only then you will be able to go with the flow and be at peace.
If you seek love, then first learn to love and that includes loving yourself. Loving each one for who they are with appreciation and loyalty. Only when you will be able to love unconditionally, only then you will be in a state of love.‎

A wonderful life because of wonderful people.

As a child, my parents gave me the message that I am living in a safe world full of wonderful people. My parents were good people. I saw them treat people with respect and equal regard. I learnt the importance of charity towards people and animals. My parents always made me believe in being a good human. My sisters were further living examples of good people.
As a teen, due to peer influence, my beliefs were challenged. Fortunately, I chose the path set by my family. Partly because I enjoyed being a good human and also because I experienced meeting more good people than the bad ones. The bad ones are those who manipulated me, hurt me with words and actions and showed disrespect. I did not like that kind of behaviour and did not want to be influenced by it. I rather influence them with the messages I gained from my family.
In my life so far I have experienced that in strange situations I have met strange good people. My life has been enriched by them. They have added value to my life by helping me to create fond memories. They have made every celebration more special by bringing more laughter and cheer.
I managed to get attracted by another pure soul, my husband. When I entered his world I met people who loved and accepted me selflessly and also someone who seemed to threaten me due to a set of certain unrealistic and unreasonable believes. But that did stop me from being kind. "Kill people's ill intentions with your kindness" was the advice of my best friend.
When I look at my life today, I see us surrounded by good people. They are our family, our friends, neighbours, colleagues, book authors and also random people many a times. They are faces of God. They are real angels, who I believed as a child, existed only in fairy tales.
I experience goodness and continue to be amazed by these good experiences. I just hope I am such an experience to others too.
It's a wonderful life because of these beautiful hearted people. I truly believe "Be good. Spread goodness and receive goodness". Make this world a better world.
