Life ...... is Amazing

Life ….. is amazing !!!!!

I firmly believe that nothing in this world ever happens either by chance or coincidence. Whatever happens is by an invisible design and has a definite purpose and meaning. However it fails our understanding and comprehension as we miss out on their significance. Have you ever realized how every moment in our lives is special and every moment of our existence is a choice that we make about just living, going through the motions of life in a robotic fashion, or seeing and soaking in the amazing in our everyday lives.
Life is a journey, like a journey through the Himalayas with its breath taking views, and it’s worth seeking one’s heart’s desire and never miss a thing that it offers. We miss out, most often, as Paul Coehlo says, “there’s always a gap between our intention and action”. We wake up every morning wishing that the day be good and so shall we be towards others. Good intentions, but on the contrary we get caught up with our own quagmire that we forget those good intentions.
In our constant and a dangerously hurried urge to “achieve” and feel “arrived” at our destination, we find a yawning gap between our desired intention and the resultant action. For we believe that “ the end justifies the means” and not vice versa.
To soak in what we see and not what we look-for, requires a reflective and an introspective disposition on an individual’s part. If we go on a “pause mode” and stop for the world, we will see the amazing in our lives. Have you ever listened to the birds chirping and calling out at the fall of dawn, the dew drops on the leaves of grass, the resplendent colours of flowers in bloom at spring time, the smell of earth after the first rain in summer, the beautiful sun rise on the horizon, the sound of waves and their ceaseless energy, the feeling of waves touching your feet, the innocent smiles on the faces of children who tug along with their heavy school bags in the morning rush hour, the old lady, in her twilight years, carrying a basket load of fresh greens going door-to-door early in the morning with a smile on her face, these are amazing moments in our lives and yet we miss all of them as we presume we do not have the time to soak in all this.
We choose our joys and sorrows long before we experience them. We will often find enrichment when we think more of what life has given us and less about what life has taken away. Life is like the ocean waves, it touches you for a moment and leaves you to reflect. But it keeps coming back to you, just to remind you that life is like the crest and the trough of the waves that touch you and recede. It is by invisible design that our lives are made and sitting by the sea , soaking in the patterns of the waves that we realize that life is after all , always, in motion , to a clockwork precision, like the waves. It gets perturbed and develops into a cyclonic storm or a depression only when we do not respect or understand its natural design.
Life is meaningless only if we allow it to be. Each of us has the power to give life meaning, to make our time and our bodies and our words into instruments of love and hope. Our task is not to seek love, but merely to seek & find all the barriers within ourselves that we have built against it. When we come to terms with life that is created with a purpose and meaning and not by mere chance or coincidence, we learn to love each other without any war of words.
