To err is human and to learn from it is human too.
When you face failure you introspect , you try to know what went wrong and after knowing the cause you try not to make the same mistake again.
Similarly, if you face success then you try to repeat the same procedure or routine again and again.
As you grow old ,your experience of failures , success, loss and defeat makes you wiser than before. You embrace contentment and calmness becomes your strongest suit.
Life on our planet grew up to this level because it made mistakes, evolved from it and finally produced wiser beings like us. I just hope it only gets better.
What strategies do you use to increase comfort in your daily life?
Relaxing after a strenuous hike in Gulmarg
In order to lead a comfortable life one should give workouts the highest priority because there is no comfort without having a healthy body.
I always try to take out time for proper exercise. It is good not only for the body but it also infuses positive thinking in your daily life. A healthy mind increases efficiency in your life and encourages you to take difficulties as a learning curve.
So exercise daily and if you are in the mountains then you are in for the treat. A small hike in the meadows can rejuvenate your heart and soul. It can heal all your wounds and can give you the true meaning of comfort…..
Calmness is not a weakness but a superpower to stay strong in the toughest of conditions. It makes you think clearly amidst a cacophony of noises and react in the most effective way.
Calmness gives you strength in the moments of disaster and grief. It gives you control over your heart and mind ,and prevents you from reacting in an erratic manner.
So cultivate this habit of pausing before reacting and detaching yourself from all the disturbing noises of the world.
Our minds are coded and programmed by society in a way that we always hope for a bright future, without doing anything substantial in the present.
In fact there is no future if we don’t sow its seeds in the “Now”. It’s like growing a plant by sowing a seed ,watering and taking care of it every single day. Then hoping for the outcome.
Hope resides in the coming ‘Now’ . If you have done your part in the present then you can expect everything bright to follow. I am always excited to face the fruit of my hardwork though I don’t hope much as I haven’t always got the desired result.
Contentment is my only solace where I take a deep breath and say to myself, ” maybe one day”.
What could you let go of, for the sake of harmony?
Alpathar lake
You work hard for something and you don’t get desired results.
You love someone wholeheartedly and you don’t get the same love.
You help someone in need and when you ask for help , you never get.
Heartbreaks , pain , disappointment, frustration all are born out of expectations, one of the biggest reasons you are not able to live your life happily.
Let it go , all the expectations are mere seeds to unsettle you. You can have all the peace, happiness, satisfaction if you just think you have given everything you can , maybe you don’t get the same vibrations but your smiling face is happy enough to not feel the pain life can give you.
You are in harmony with the universe and you will adapt to whatever direction it will try to mould you.
What are your thoughts on the concept of living a very long life?

Memories are immortal. Memories are our best gift. We have limited time in our material form but our memories continue to live in the hearts of the people we come across.
Sometimes these memories make you great but the greatest memories are those which bring tears in the eyes of the people.
So, we can’t guarantee how long we can live but we can surely make great memories by sharing love, compassion, kindness and generosity. This will surely ensure our existence for a long time , maybe till the end of time.
Do you spend more time thinking about the future or the past? Why?

Our brains are coded to dwell too much on our past and future. Time is the most impacting dimension that defines our life. It is up to us to either become a slave of it or hold its strings and dictate terms.
There is no denying the fact that the past teaches us many things and gives us precious memories ( that eventually make us humans). But it is highly elusive, it plays tricks with us when we commit the mistake of identifying with it. We destroy our future by connecting it with our negative past. Even this destroys our present
Yes, it’s difficult to get rid of negative things of the past but there is always a way to do that and I always try to deduce methods to do that. The magic lies in the present. You certainly have something to get fully engrossed in the ‘ Now’. You can take inspiration from the past and use that to your advantage.
What you should ignore , avoid or forget of the past
Embarassing moments
Fear generating moments
Failures that could have been avoided (including silly mistakes)
Regrets
Accidents
Emotional moments especially the loss of someone
What you should embrace of the past
Success but don’t make it infuse arrogance, in fact learn from it and use it as driving force in the present
Failures to learn from mistakes
Good memories of your loved ones
knowledge you acquired
Anything that can boost your productivity in the present
Well, apart from this, try to get fully engrossed in the present. The best way to do that is by doing something which you love most. When you are totally lost in the ‘Now’ in doing something which you enjoy then you hardly think about your past or future. You totally forget about time and make your present as productive as possible.
A tiny glow in the dark,Shivering with the cold wind.Tormented, scared to surrender ! A struggling ray in the dark Dented and stabbed to limp , Trembles by holding his heart ! A tiny will in the dark,Waging a war with his broken sword, Tries to vanish an army of dark! A fading spark in the dark, Ignites the hopes […]
