Only Present Is Real!

Only Present Is Real 

Let's say if real can be described as what we can touch, we can touch what is there at this time.

Anything that is past is untouchable and it only exists in memory (either human or electronic memory or lost in time).

Anything that is the future only exists in imagination until it becomes present when it becomes a reality.

The present is precious because that is the only real thing that we have and it will become a memory in just one second.

Every second, another present becomes past.

While past present and future can be interconnected, the doing phase is only in the present.

If we spend time thinking about the past or the future, we are wasting a way the only real thing that we have and which will not wait for us as it is turning into past every second by second.

That means this present that we have is precious and unique and will never return to us.
So if we want to make a difference, we need to act in present and live this present and absorb this present and that can turn past into fond memories and that can turn future into a beautiful present.

The same applies to the people and things 
Whoever was in the past is no longer real unless that same person is in the present.
Whoever is in the present may no longer be there in the next moment.
Whoever is expected in the future is not real until comes in the present.

Same applies for things.

Can we go back in the past and relive it. Can we control the forces of nature in the future?

The only one thing that we have in our hands is what we have in the present.
The views, the sounds, the people, the things, and ourselves in present.

These are our companions in the present.
And present should be our focus.

If there was a delete button in our mind and let's say that memory of the past is erased, then anything that gave us any sort of feeling would not affect us in any which way. It would neither have the potential to make us happy nor sad.
It would just become non existent.

That means what we make of our past is the play of our memory.

The memory is needed to function fully in the present.
If we can control the memory and choose to erase anything that was not pleasant, we can stay very pleasant at all the times.

If we program our memories with the data that we would like to see, it can now make us the happiest ever.

Basically, it's our hard drive and we should only keep the life movies that gave us rich learning experiences and make us feel accomplished and pleasant.

Delete the rest of the unwanted memories into the archive of our minds. It's always beneficial to have them archived so they are available if needed in the future but that way it won't take too much space in the present.

And our present will be wholly available to experience and perform and make new memories which can be kept in the main folder of our brain or archive.

Present is where we can make a difference and present is the only time when we can collect more happy past and create more happy future.

Focus on the present time and present company and present activity is the most productive and fruitful way of living.

And this life which is present, who knows when it will become past and it sure will happen.

The choice is ours.Do we want to waste it or live it.

Let's live each moment as if it is the only opportunity to live this moment in the eternal time, because... that is actually true!

Can we do it all?

Can we do it all?

If one is the only person on the earth, can one do it all?

Water 
Electricity
Food
Clothing
Construction
Transport
Safety
Mining
Many more...

May be one can,

Would that be comfortable and to the same level of standards as we have today?

Probably No.

That means we need more people.
That means we need different personalities.
That means we need different tendencies.
That means we need everyone to become a fully functional social system.

There are different people, who will have different likings, different energy levels, different tendencies and may be different faiths.

Should we respect everyone's faith.
Absolutely!

Should any reason deter us to value other's faith?

No!

Is it justified to eradicate everyone who doesn't have the same faith as one's?

No!

Is it ever justified to be so indulged in one's faith that everything else feels negative and worthy of eradication?

No!

Is it ever justified to force anyone to change their faith to appease one's?

No!

Faith is the anchor around which lives hold on.

Shaking that or taking that away from someone may cause a lot of unrest.
Not just this, it my make the other person feel disrespected to the core.

Faith come from within and should always be at free will.

Staying respectful and tolerant of the differences between people is very important to work in harmony and to survive.

Anyone who wants to de-value a life for a piece of land, money,  power,  converting other's faith and especially if uses force to obtain any of the aforesaid, is definitely not going to bring them close to heaven.

Giving anyone, miseries can never result in a reward be it during or after life.

We are humans and are evolved. We should behave like human and use emotions that separates humans with rest of the animal kingdom.

 It is sad to see that some human acts are such, that they can be taught kindness by the most ruthless animals.

Let the variations thrive, if they become scarce, help them grow back. Every variation has a value. One should follow one's heart but forcing others to follow the same one's heart is wrong. Everyone should have the freedom to follow their hearts.

When anyone tries to forcefully change other's journey, one only adds additional load to one's bag of karma to dissolve eventually which simply means that heaven just got pushed farther.

If one wants to bring heaven closer, the best way is to create one around one where everyone can live happily and safely!

Heartfelt condolences to all those who have lost their loved ones because some other person could not see them being different or because they had something that someone wanted to have at any cost.

May the innocent souls rest in peace!

History teaches a lot. Future should be better not worse than the past.

May the light fall upon those who caused the miseries so they can see in the light, how dark such acts are! 

Such acts can certainly never be heavenly!

Strength Is Within

Strength is within
Validation is within
Peace is within
Joy is within

Distractions are outside.

Observing the distractions and taking the learnings from them and absorbing them within to grow, makes distractions a learning experience. Then, growth comes from within.

The societal norm to be with someone is beneficial to protect children. If we bring a life in this world, then protecting and nurturing it, is our first responsibility. 

Other than that, self growth and evolution is the main purpose why we are here.
And the life should only be shared with someone who facilitates this growth.
Any company that pulls it back is not worth keeping.

Doesn't waking up in the morning and making oneself a cup of tea and sitting in the garden observing nature while introspecting and learning more about life in general, sound relaxing and peaceful.

Oftentimes, spending time alone amidst nature (nature can be the grass and sky in our backyard) is very nurturing and motivating.

As part of my work, I often come across brilliant and vibrant patients, some are young and some are elderly. They all have rich experiences to share.
The tougher anyone's journey has been, the more spiritually evolved that individual seems to be.

It is said that the more someone learns, the more they realize that there is a lot more to learn. The more knowledgeable a person is, the kinder that person becomes.

As part of providing care to the senior patients, I get fortunate to get a wealth of knowledge and wisdom just by spending some time with them.
In the senior population, I find both elderly women and men.

 It is known that women outlive males. I see more elderly women than men in very advanced ages. More often than not, they are very mature spiritually at that phase of life. 

They enjoy their lives just as much and they are more focused on themselves and their surroundings. 

They realize that anything that is there, will pass, be it good or bad.

It's like classes in a school, some people enjoy Math's and Science , some people enjoy language and some geography , some history and some economics. 

Not everyone enjoys every subject
 But everyone should learn at least the basics of everything to be able to successfully pass.

Lessons sink deep in the mind when we can concentrate and sit with ourselves and pay full attention to learning the lesson at hand. We can do group studies but end of the day, it's when we sit alone with that book that the deep understanding of the subject comes.

At the end, everyone experiences some time alone.

Be it at the death or be it at the end of life or be it at any phase of life.

And it is at that time that a deep realization comes.

A realization that until that realization came, we didn't really give enough time to ourselves to know ourselves and our own potential.

How many times do we find doing things out of duty, and while ignoring our deep wishes. And how joyful it is to be able to live freely and unrestricted.

Once one experiences this, there is no going back.

We don't need to become famous or millionaires to become truly rich within.

Richness is that of spirit and wealth is that of inner peace.

One can continue to offer love, kindness, help and protection in a detached way.
Why detached?
Detached, so the wealth of joy and peace within is not dependant on anything from outside.

This doesn't mean that one has to seclude oneself. One can be among the crowd sharing bonds of humanity and offering kind hand to others. And yet be in full control of oneself. 

After all, we owe some time and attention to this mind and body in which we live.

Because,
Strength is within
Energy is within
Joy is within
Peace is within
Harmony is within
Knowledge is within
Wisdom is within
And 
Happiness is within

Drive your own life and set your soul free!
