Be Thankful

"Be thankful that you don't already have everything you desire.If you did, what would there be to look forward to?

Be thankful when you don't know something, for it gives you the opportunity to learn.

Be thankful for the difficult times. During those times you grow.

Be thankful for your limitations, because they give you opportunities for improvement.

Be thankful for each new challenge, because it will build your strength and character.

Be thankful for your mistakes. They will teach you valuable lessons.

Be thankful when you're tired and weary, because it means you've made a difference.

It's easy to be thankful for the good things. A life of rich fulfillment comes to those who are also thankful for the setbacks. Gratitude can turn a negative into a positive. Find a way to be thankful for your troubles, and they can become your blessings."

I do not have everything I desire & I am fighting to get it...
There are so many things I dont know & I am striving to know more about them...
The times which I am going through is a very difficult time. Still I am getting stronger by the day and feeling more and more postive...
I sometimes get irritated because of my limitations. But that drives me hard to do it better and better...
I have made many mistakes. Some due to lack of awareness while some ignorantly! But I have learnt my lessons and am getting better every moment...
There are days when I am dead tired after giving in a lot. And few days after that I get the appreciation for the work I have done! Fulfillment... indeed.

I am thankful to HIM to have taught me these things through life and always being there for me! I am sure in this difficult time you will help me as always...

I wonder, though, what GOD must be doing all the time since all the above clauses are already true for HIM!

Relation - ships!

Dilutions of the feelings... confusions of mind... realization of missing something... and....

Have been thinking about this stuff in and out... believe me, no one knows it. Its very dynamic and it has a time component (atleast thats what it seems to be!)

People catch a boat and start riding together. Storms, wild water... they have to battle it all. Somehow I feel, very few people stay on... Do people get the life boats, one each and abandon the ship!? I hope they dont.

One thing I can assure you... I am not a seaman or a person who's gonna ride the life boat with just me in it... I'll take everyone, yes, everyone. Cause I believe...

Am I wrong?

Gandhigiri... Bapu ki jai!

There are some things on which there will be hoards of postings by millions of people. But then these things deserve it! I might be a bit late in posting about Gandhigiri but then I had to! (considering the way I get pumped up after seeing the movie!)

"I am going to do it... Change India... make a revolution... in my own way and make it the best country in the world!"... (I know people say we are the best, even I do to sometimes. But c'mon, be practical. Lets accept it that there are lot of things which still need improvement and strive towards making it the heaven it deserves to become!)

I feel like shouting aloud. Havent in my whole life have admired the power of GANDHIJI! Suddenly I have a lot of respect, I understand the power that he had, relate to the suffering he has gone through to make INDIA free! (Yes, we have fought for it - a lot in a non violent way!)

I am sure everyone has followed some of his principles, atleast some time in Life. I definitely have... The strength which it has is immense.. Most of us have not really thought about this. The movie made me realize that!

"Bande mein tha dum... Vande Mataram!" - Completely agree to it... Have been hearing and listening to incidents which have been inspired by Gandhigiri and its working... We can see it. Maybe it takes a bit more time. But then the result is the best.. Why do we want to settle for something less! Lets not... Lets be the best, do the best...

Bapu ko apun solid respect karne laga hai... Kya aadmi tha. Whole nation on his back. Solid power tha baap! Apun ko abhi tak kuch realise nahi hua. Aaj se apun bhi vinamrata se Gandhigiri karega!

Long live Gandhigiri... And personal thanks to the Munnabhai Gang!
