Forced rest

Sometimes He wants us to rest now so that we can do what He desires of us later...

Power of Love

Power of God's love can do anything for God also... It can
  1. help one come out of stuck situations
  2. heal someone
  3. help someone grow
  4. improve relationships
  5. create joy
  6. create alternate futures
  7. ... the list is endless :-) ...
Lets appreciate it and live in the realization of its abundance...

Change is easy

When one accepts the new reality and conciously decides to accept it, then change is easy...

In fact, it takes less than a minute to change the frame of mind and then move in the new direction... Yes, less than a minute - once one has decided...

Clocks and Change

At times, we are so averse to change that in place of consciously changing the time we rise, we prefer to set the clock faster...

The change still happens within us...

Eagles learn to fly

I subscribe to a daily motivational email - http://www.mountainwings.com

A few days back there was an issue titled "Baby Pigeons?". Its available at http://www.mountainwings.com/past/1021.htm

It talks about how pigeons protect their babies and hence their babies prefer to walk than fly even when they grow up into pigeons. 

There is an eagle nest in a park outside our home. The baby eagles are learning flying these days. 

I once noticed that one of the baby eagles was lying just outside our house - just next to the door. It must have got tired flying OR missed the target of sitting on the fence or the wall OR something of the sort and had fallen. I checked it out from a distance to see if it was still alive. It was blinking its eyes - proof enough that it was alive. I thought of helping. As I approached it, one of the parent eagles swooped low at me to stop me from touching it. It feared that I will do harm. I looked around and found that the other parent was also keeping a close eye.  I stopped short of doing anything and let the baby be.

Soon enough, the baby was gone. 

And I noticed today that it flies high enough already :)

I realized that Eagles fly high because they learn by falling. And then by rising with the power within. And the parents keep a close watch so that no harm comes.

Same applies to us too... God keeps a close watch that no harm reaches us even when we fall... He also prevents any external help to reach us - because He wants us to fly "high". The help may prevent us from learning to rise ourselves.

So, when we have fallen and feel helpless, then we should remember that we too are learning to fly. God is not sending us help just yet because he wants us to rise with the power within and procure resources and strength to start flying again. He wants us to fly "high"

Insights from a child

A list of insights given to me by Aarushi (in addition to the smaller posts that I will continue to keep)
  • Let yourself free in the arms of God and He will take care of you
  • You will be able to enjoy the ups and downs if you focus on Him and not on the changing surroundings
  • Smile with all your heart
  • Share your happiness and achievements with Him
  • He has brought you to this world to help you grow and grow you will - the final will is with you
  • Some stages of growth have to follow others. One can't walk before one crawls.
  • Growth may be uncomfortable for you, and God does realize that and wants to help you. But you have to go through the pain of teething finally.
  • God feels exhilirated when you follow the path He tread.
  • At times God lets you make mistakes and get hurt. He wants you to learn some lessons.
  • He loves it when you express your love for Him. He will give all for the child who smiles for Him and craves for Him

Thorns and weeds

It is difficult to remove weeds from the base of those plants that have thorns...

Lets remove the thorns so that others can help remove the weeds...
