"What is life , but the angle of vision? A man is measured by the angle at which he looks at objects. What is life , but a man is thinking of all day? This is his fate and Knowing is the measure of the man. By how much we know, so we are."
It is easy to be negative about past mistakes and unhappiness. But it is much more healing to look at ourselves and our past in the light of experience, acceptance, and growth.
Our past is a series of lessons that advance us to higher levels of living and loving. The relationships we entered, stayed in, or ended taught us necessary lessons.
Some of us have emerged from the most painful circumstances with strong insights about who we are and what we want. Our mistakes? Necessary. Our frustrations, failures, and sometimes stumbling attempts at growth and progress? Necessary too. Each step of the way, we learned. We went through exactly the experiences we need to, to become who we are today. Each step of the way, we progressed. Is our past a mistake? No. The only mistake we can make is mistaking that for the truth.
Today, God, help me let go of negative thoughts I may be harboring about my past circumstances or relationships.I can accept, with gratitude all that has brought me to today.
Everything happens for a reason. Nothing happens by chance or by means of good or bad luck. Illness, injury, love, lost moments of true greatness and sheer stupidity all occur to test the limits of your soul. Without these small tests, if they be events, illnesses or relationships, life would be like a smoothly paved, straight, flat road to nowhere.If someone hurts you, betrays you , or breaks you heart, forgive them. For they have helped you learn about trust and the
importance of being cautious to who you open your heart to.
If someone loves you, love them back unconditionally, not only because they love you, but because they are teaching you to love and opening your heart and eyes to things you would have never seen or felt without them.
Make every day count. Appreciate every moment and take from it everything that you possibly can, for you may never be able to experience it again.
Talk to people you have never talked to before, and actually listen. Hold your head up because you have every right to. Tell yourself you are a great individual and believe in yourself, for if you don't believe in yourself, no one else will believe in you either.
You can make of your life anything you wish. Create your own life and then go out and live it.

Only For You....
Although I can't see you or feel you, I hope you will remember
I love you and I always will, whether it be March, May, July or December
When I first saw you, I knew right away that you were the one for me
I fell in love and from that moment on, I finally felt complete
For once in my life, I had a reason to look forward to each coming day
You made me feel lucky to be alive and I only wish you could have stayed
Your being here made me so happy and I hope that you'll always know
I'll never, ever forget you and I'll never let you go
The memories of times we've shared make the hurting start
I miss you more than anything, but I know you live on in my heart
Why you're gone; I do not know and I can not justify
The reason someone would tear us apart and have my best friend die
You were more than a dog, more than a pet, more than a best friend
You are my soul mate and nothing can help my heart begin to mend
I can't stop the tears from flowing and the pain won't go away
I love you now and I love you more with every passing day
There's nothing I would not do, there's nothing I would not give
To have you here once again, to hold, to love, to live
Your wonderful, unique character, your loving disposition
Makes me have to ask myself what led you to this position
I think of all the good times we've shared and laugh through my tears
Not only could you make me feel special, you helped me with my fears
Whenever I was feeling down, you were right beside me
Now I'm left with no one and an empty space inside me
You didn't need to use words to tell me that you cared
And to think of my life without you makes me feel very scared
Everything you've done for me, words can not express
So many things we've shared, secrets I've confessed
You never, ever got mad, you always were so kind
Another thing you've taught me… friends like you are hard to find
I hope that someday I will be half the friend you were to me
You deserve the best because that's what you are
You always treated me like a star
I wish so much that we could still be together
But the memories will last forever
Till the day we meet again
You and I, the best of friends
Khamoshi..............
Kabhi Kabhi Kuch Baatein Unkahee Aachee Lagti Hai
Kabhi Kabhi Kuch Baatein Kahee Hui Aachee Lagti Hai.
Lekin Aaj Na Kuch Kehna Chata Hoon, Na Kuch Suna Chata Hoon,
Kyon Ki Kabhi Kabhi Khamoshi Bhi Aachee Lagti Hai.
Khamoshi Ko Kaise Chupayion,
Woh To Tanhayee Ke Saat Rahe Thi Hai.
Dil Me Chupe Aarman Kaise Dikhyon,
Woh To Aakhoon Ke Saat Bahe Chuki Hain.
Jab Zindagi Khamosh Na Thi
Tab Bhaut Kuch Kehna Chata Tha.
Jab Zindagi Khamosh Ho Gayi
Tab Bhaut Kuch Suna Chata Tha.
Lekin Jab Khamoshi Barkarar Rahe Gayi
Tab Jeena Nahi Chata Tha.
Is Khamoshi Ke Daur Me Na Jaane Kitne Humsafar Mile
Kuch Saat Rahe,Kuch Peeche Rahe Gaye
Lekin Ab Is Khamoshi Ko Todna Chata Hoon
Phir Se Ek Naye Sire Se Ek Naye Zindagi Jeena Chata Hoon
Lekin Ab Na Jane Yeh Zindagi Kuch Kehti Hain,Na Kuch Sunti Hain
Lagta Hai Ab Kahi Na Kahi Zindagi Ko Bhi Khamoshi
Aache Lagni Lagi Hai.
Parmatama
Kya Sochta Tume , Jo Yeh Srishti Ko Banaya
Yeh Madhyam Bhara , Ashmit Ghata , Adhram Ka Kalyug Aaya
Na Jane Kya Hua , Kyon Badal Gayi Sari Fiza
Banaya Tha Jisne Yeh Jahan , Kahan Hai Woh Parmatama.
Yugo Yugo Se Jo Ajanma Hai
Yogo Yugo Se Jo Anant Hai
Har Prani , Har Jeev , Har Manav Ka
Wo Ek Param Pita Parmeshwar Hai.
Nindra Se Jo Aaya Hai
Nindra Magan Hi Wo Jayega
Janam Hua Jiska
Wo Moksh Bhi Payega.
Is Jeevan Aur Mirtyu Ke Satya Me
Kudh Ko , Youn Mat Ulgha
Dharm Ka Marg Chun
Aur Apna Karam Kiye Ja.
Apni Indriyon Ko Apne Wash Mein Kar ,
Aur Swam Hi Unke Wash Me Na Ho Ja
Apni Wasnayo Par Jeet Pa
Aur Swam Hi Apna Marg Darshan Karwa.
Mrityu Hi Jeevan Ka Antim Satya Hai ,
Tu Is Satya Se Nahin Bhag Paye Ga
Is Jeevan Ke Phele Bhi Tu Khud Ko Nahin Janta Tha
Aur Nahin Is Jeevan Ke Paschat Jan Payega.
Apni Wyakultayon Ke saath Youn Mat Bha Ja
Muniyon Ki Tarah Gyani Ban
Aur Is Gyan Ke Saagar Mein Doob Kar
Narayan Ka Chintan Kar.
To Dekha , Teri Mushkilon Ka Aant Ho Ga
Tu Kushi Ka Anubhav Kar Payega
Aur Jab Tujhe Narayan Ke Darshan Ho Gaye
Tab Tere Sawalon Ka Aant Bhi Ho Jayega.
Change For Life Plan.........
You’re not the same person you were five years ago.
In fact, you’re not even the same person you were yesterday, because you are only who you are today.
When you repeatedly spend each day choosing to be the same person you were yesterday, though, you get comfortable with the
routine and forget that you have a
choice at all.
Being born into the computer age has had an amazing effect on my computer abilities. Computing has literally become my
life, and I hope it stays that way. I feel that computing is my calling, and there are good careers available in the
computing field with excellent salaries.
To me computing is not only challenging, but fun, and that's why I have chosen computer science as my major. I am
sure that I will enjoy studying computer-related courses which will enable me to become a proficient computer expert.
Listening to my former self describe future plans is interesting. It’s clear that I had goals for my future, and that I was
eager to accomplish them.
In other words, “To become a proficient computer expert” was my Life Plan.
Today, I read these words and feel surprised at how drastically my plans have changed. Though I’ve become a proficient
computer expert, that line of work no longer fascinates me like it once did. In fact, before stumbling across this essay
of mine, I had forgotten that it ever fascinated me at all.
My point is that people change — and as you change, so do your plans for the future.
My Life Plan no longer involves computers. Nor does it involve winning the lottery, being the youngest contender in the
World Series of Poker, or designing robots. I have no more desires to become a programmer, software engineer.
Currently, my Life Plan is in sync with my life’s calling:
I want to be a writer.
I want to write things worth reading — things that people can relate to and resonate with. I want my writings to help
people recognize how it's never too late to change direction in life. I want to help inspire people to create positive change in their own lives, follow their true calling, and experience a more fulfilling lifestyle every day.
And I don’t want to settle for anything less.
Before now, all of my Life Plans were mediocre at best. I’ve reinvented myself ten times over trying to discover what makes
me feel right with the world, and I’m glad I’ve arrived at this. The alternative was to settle for a repetitive and
unfulfilled life investing too much time into unimportant things.
I wanted to do something that was important to me.
I needed to start again. I needed to reboot my life.
So I made the choice to change. Have you?
Take a moment to take in your surroundings — your job, your home, and your future. Ask yourself: Is this really me?
If it isn’t, then it’s probably time you made some changes to your Life Plan — and today’s a great day for a life reboot.
