When it hurts, observe! Life is trying to teach you something

We are taught many a lessons while in the school however there are some lessons life keeps on giving us during our life time which are not a part of any curriculum. These are taught between the lines — picked up through 'pain and need' and owing to faulty action. These are those unwavering truths of life which we often tend to forget and more often dismiss too. Bear in mind these lessons are to understand your trials, defeat your challenges and navigate through your circumstances with complete awareness life's preparedness!

* Timing is everything : We need to understand that first and foremost lesson life teaches us is that there is a timing for everything in life and we must follow these times very early in order to succeed in life, as once an opportunity is lost by us it may or may not come again

*Keep your karma slate very clean : Irrespective of who you are we all need to keep our slate of karma very clean and remember that your karma is the memory of your soul, of everything good and bad and in-between you’ve ever thought and done. When you pile up the bad karma, you trap yourself in unwanted cycles of behaviour. Keeping your karma clean means not causing any harm to anyone irrespective whether they’ve caused it to you or not.

*Change what you can not accept : Always be prepared to change all that we can change and can not accept as it is. There are many things in life which we are not prepared to accept. When you are able to tolerate things as they are, and acknowledge that they will modify and mend and begin and end according to the will of the universe, then you will feel that true sense of serenity.

* Accept what you can not really change: Your mind and soul are at peace when acceptance is their mediator. Allow the situations to unfold in their own natural course of time. Regardless of whether you do or do not try to influence people and events, remember that everything still comes full circle in the end. This acceptance will give you peace of mind and your soul will feel that you have tried your best but whatever you cannot change needs to be accepted as it is.

*Take good care of yourself and family: Always be at the forefront whenever there is family concern. Always try to work to extend your life instead of shortening it. You need to immerse yourself in simple pleasures life offers. You need to laugh more often and give your burdens back to the universe; as you were not meant to carry the weight of the world on your shoulders therefore relax and just take care of your own health as well as the health of your family. There is nothing more important than having a sound health on long term basis.

*Control emotions and do not take anything personally: We need to be very cool under all the circumstances life offers you. You must decide never to speak out of anger or act our of desperation any time. The decisions made under extreme emotions are bound to work against us and when we master our emotions, we can really decipher what’s in our best interests. Taking all the things personally what is said and done to you will finally increase the stress on your heart and brain which will cause you health concerns. Take all the criticism coolly and thinking that those are the opinions expressed by others and not yours.

*Everything will fall into place finally : Always remember that, when you’re going through a rough patch, it sure does seem like end of the world! and you feel that the happier moments appear fleeting. Be rest assured however that everything eventually finds peace. The sooner you confront your challenges with own courage and convictions without fear, the sooner the tranquillity of the universe is restored and you feel that all is well that ends well.
