Solitude Vs Renunciation

I always kind of enjoy solitude, when I am alone is the best time for me to think and sort out my priorities.... Not all of us may be lucky to get time alone in these days of madness and hurry. But those lucky few who can get an hour to themselves daily, I believe can be very serene.

But should solitude turn into renunciation. People leave their homes and join Monastries, they live in the mountains far from human habitation......do you think these people can completely detatch themselves from the world?.... do you think that was God's purpose for us on earth?

I atleast beg to differ, I believe that Gods mission for us here on earth is - to be a part of a society and do our best to be productive and useful to others.

Or more precisely, I think the most important thing is for eachone to find what Gods mission is for himself/herself, and implementing it in the best possible way.

Better ask

It has often happened to me, when I do not understand something I end up just pretending I know. Most of the times I end up making a fool of myself. It is always better to ask if you are ignorant rather than pretend.

Persevere

You may have tried many a times and failed...dont give up. Try different ways of doing the same thing. For a person who perseveres, success is just round the corner.

Satisfaction

Most people are never satisfied. Each person should ask themselves -" Is it because I am deficient in any thing? or can't I see what I already have? or do the people around me have more than I do?". I believe God never gives everything to everyone. So if I am deficient in something, I surely am blessed with abundance of something else.

Complete forgiveness.

Forgiveness should be complete, but if your experience can tech you a lesson do remember that. Never let yourself be hurt the same way over and over again. In short “Forgive and Forget” but never forget completely.

Take the first step.

Never feel ashamed to ask forgiveness or take that first step. It may seem awkward initially - but what is at stake may be a good friendship. Taking the first step does not mean you are weak but that you have the courage to stand up to the truth.

There is no tommorow.

Live each day as though there was no tomorrow. If you have to tell someone ‘how much you care’ tell it. If you have hurt someone ask forgiveness. Leave no debts for tomorrow. Today is the day for all that you ever wanted to do.
