Little things and a better life...

The world is such a beautiful place. It is indeed. Another year has come on the horizon and every one of us is in some kind of introspective mode – some prospective while others retrospective. Some are busy making profit and loss statement for the year that went by. Some are busy doing planning for what lies ahead. While there were some gains for some of them, some would have suffered major losses. And in the midst of clumsy contours of so many lives, the world moves on… the life moves on to the next levels for the next “players”.

Again coming back to do a reality check, my consciousness goes deep inside a shell and what I note in particular is that conducting oneself and conducting with others is of such huge importance that it almost decides half the nature of profits and losses. Obviously, there are natural and social contributions to the rest half of the statement which most likely is not controllable. So as the years go by, there is a need to check one’s own orientation of the conduct related characteristics. I know that this is a very delicate topic and different people will always have a different approach to this. After all, preferences do differ from person to person. However, my point is those whenever one looks back at own self in the mirror, reflection must contain a great sense of serenity, modesty and positivity. This would definitely help us work towards impeccable levels of conduct.

Just consider the multiplying effect of this on the larger canvas of life. Won't it reduce the misery and sorrows that go hand in hand around our lives on a frequent basis? Won't it add significant profits to our yearly statements? Possibly yes. Oh certainly yes. I received a call from an old friend few minutes back and it was so soothing to hear his voice after so long. What did he do? He just dialed my number and made a lovely impact to end the second day of this New Year. The conduct could be in many other ways. As it brings serenity, modesty and positivity to the whole scene, the effect is manifold. If one could just cut down time thinking about something or somebody which creates anger, jealousy, hatred, agony and pain, the pie of serenity, modesty and positivity becomes bigger, bigger and bigger. So...

Keep Smiling and Be Radiant!
