Finding True Love!

I have often believed that you find true love while you are out searching for just about anyone to love.
Having found my true love, I think true love is a choice we make while we are still trying to understanding the feeling and the reasons for being in love with someone. It is a feeling of oneness. It is a feeling of coming together of two different parts of the same soul. It is a feeling of completion.
I was once told by a wise Aunt, that if you want to find true love, find a woman who loves you more than you love her. My startled reaction to such a notion was, “Should not I love her more than she loves me or should not our love be equal?” I asked curiously. To which my Aunt replied with a smile, “The fact that you know she loves you more than you love her will ensure that you will always strive to love her more. And she will then feel that you love her more than she loves you; she will strive to love you more. In the end, you both have so much love to give to each other, that enough will never be enough.”
I think it was wise to listen to my Aunt.
I am blessed have found true love, when I was busy searching for any love.
It is a wonderful choice to make to be with someone. To see the good, overlook the bad and embrace the ugly with love and kindness.
It is beautiful to care for someone other than ourselves. To smile when they smile, they be happy when they are happy, to be sad when they are in tears; to try our level best to bring joy and peace to their lives.
Life has a purpose. I believe that purpose is the love.
When you find your true love, that purpose is now a continuous journey filled memories of laughter, togetherness, some struggles but most of all each other and the love you share between each other. Then nothing in this world would ever matter because our journey in life have transcended beyond the confines of just love and fresh air but travelled into realms of oneness while being grounded in realism.
True love brings about changes within you.
You become a better person not by force but by choice. You choose to chisel your body, mind and soul to look beautiful for your beloved.
Being in love forever is not a passing feeling it is a conscious choice of togetherness. It can only happen if you find true love.

Gift your child ‘self-belief’

Being a parent is a calling. If you are one, then you are blessed with the gift to contribute to nature’s wonderful plan of evolution of humankind. You are the co-creator and co-architect of a masterpiece – your beautiful child.
The birth of child fills parents with many dreams, aspirations and some worries. We want the world for them and we strive to bring the world to them. We protect them from the evils that plague our society. Like a co-architect we plan, design and shape their thoughts, values, aptitude and attitude to live in society.
While we get busy painting our masterpiece – our child – with some vibrant colors and awe inspiring features; let us not forget the most important glimmer and sheen on our child is that of self-belief.
Self-belief is the glimmer and sheen that most people in our society will hide from your child. It is that imperative touch which distinguishes a masterpiece for any other work of art.
Sometimes as parents we hide ‘self-belief’ from our child. Maybe it is because we have allowed ourselves to accept that we ourselves are not masterpieces, we do not have the shimmer and sheen to be a masterpiece. We then pass on our insecurities, fears, clouded thoughts and values to our child. The fact is that you, yourself are a masterpiece and the reason your child will also be a masterpiece because of you.
Teach your child to believe – believe in themselves, in their skills, in their dreams, in their strengths and most of all in life.
In a society that is shaping young minds to be icon-centric, teach them to find their own identity because truly each child in the world is unique and we need to teach our child to believe in this.
In society which is cynical, teach them that there is no competition; there is only an evolution of the mind, body and soul. Teach them living is not a burden of a day but journey to attain enlightenment.
Teach your child to find the beauty and brilliance within.
Give your child the gift of ‘self-belief’. They will cherish it forever.

Love life, Live life…You are special!

You might be staring at the abyss, feeling completely drained out of life. You feel dead within. Your spirit has been crushed. You want to feel alive. You want to feel love. You want be loved. Yet love, appreciation and the feeling of oneness with someone or some purpose is like a mirage.
You tried to reach out to your family, friends or the universal consciousness to find a purpose to your existence, to find a meaning to your life, to find someone to love you unconditionally, to find the grace to love yourself for the person that you were, are and want to be. Yet you feel alone, lost and loveless in your life because you feel no one listened, cared or paid attention.
No one can fathom nor can they comprehend the sorrow, fear, anxiety or nightmare you are experiencing because they are not you.
The only person who can lift you out of the abyss is yourself. Family, friends or even strangers could only offer you a hand but the effort to hold their hand and pull yourself out of darkness will have to be made by you.
And even if there is no hand outstretched for you. Open your eyes and look heavenward you will see small grooves in the wells of despair, if you move your hands and legs through them and use them as support; one step at a time, you will be able to pull yourself out of the abyss.
In the wells of despair there is and will always only be darkness. If you continue to look down on yourself and your life, you will continue to slip slowly into the abyss and miss on one of the greatest painting of the universe – YOU.
If you look up, hold your head high and give life a chance, you will continue on your journey with the most important person for you – that is your own life.
Life is a passionate lover. It is never easy being in love with your life, every love is put to a test, so will your love. But then when you learn to love your life, you will find the beauty of living.
Love yourself first. In the end everything else is a mere reflection of the love you have for yourself. Love yourself for the body you have. Love yourself for the mind, heart and soul you have. Love yourself because you are special. You have a purpose. Your purpose is to live and love life.
Like all love relationships we are always expecting and not accepting. It is the same with your relationship with life. We are always expecting and not accepting the beauty of it at the moment. We are not accepting that the relationship with our life cannot be like someone else’s relationship with their life.
You are special in more ways than you know. Open your eyes and see. Open your heart and feel. Open your mind and hear, life speak to you. Open your soul and listen to the beautiful sound of the universe that lies within and outside in the universal consciousness.
You are that beautiful piece of art in the painting of the universe. Your presence makes the art of universal life complete and fascinating. You make the painting of life alive.
Stop seeking answers to your questions and live life. Stop looking for a purpose, you are the purpose of your life. Stop searching for love, you are the love of your life.
To feel one with your life is to find bliss.
Love life, live life…you are special!
