Day #84: (100 day gratitude challenge)

Day #84:
(100 day gratitude challenge)

It is nearing the end of the year 2017. This is a time when we look back at our year and see the hits and the misses that we have had. This part of the year can be fantastic for some as they look at the huge progress and successes that they have scored. For some people, it could have been a really bad year and they are able to see only the losses and failures that they experienced that year. For some others, it could be bittersweet where there have been some successes but there have also been some losses that hurt.

But invariably it is made up of gains and losses, successes and failures, love and rejection, and hurt and happiness. Depending on what we remember, the emotions associated with it well up and we look at our year through those glasses. But whatever we experienced is in the past. If it powers us to perform better it is fine to remember them. But if it hurts or pulls us down it is time to let go of them and move on to more empowering emotions.

I’m grateful for this time of the year. We slow down a bit. We look back a bit and we look forward a lot to the potential that the New year holds in taking our lives to the next level of growth and happiness.

I wish you are able to remember the good times, forget the hard times and look forward to the fantastic times that are around the corner for you.


God bless!

Day #89: Water (100 days of gratitude) There is one substance in the world which connects all of us together when we are alive. It is literally the substance that determines whether we are alive or dead. When we search for signs of life in other planets this is the substance that we search for to check whether there is life in it. If we don’t have enough of it in our body we will die. We need to ingest it and expel it regularly so that it flushes the toxins from our body and keep. I’m grateful for this magical substance that connects us all together – water.  In its purest form, it's odorless, colorless and tasteless. It's in our body, the food we eat and the beverages we drink. We use it to clean ourselves, our clothes, our dishes, our car and everything else around us. We use it to consecrate places and people. It is an essential part of all religious ceremonies. We can travel on it, jump into it, float up into the air using a balloon, drive an engine to t...

Day #87: Jim Reeves (100 Day Gratitude Challenge)

Day #87: Jim Reeves (100 Day Gratitude Challenge) Have you listened to Jim Reeves? If never, look him up on youtube and put on your headphones and listen to his evergreen numbers. If you have heard him long, long ago, you could also do the same. It’s been a long time for me and this week I’ve been listening to some Christmas songs and I stumbled upon his songs again. It brought back lots of long lost memories. It reminded me of a time when a song could be enjoyed with just a voice and a guitar. We didn’t need technology and synthesisers to create hits. The lyrics, the voice and a string instrument and an occasional percussion is enough to mesmerise you and take you into fantasy land. As I’m writing here, I’m listening to his “Twelve songs of Christmas” and being transported on a magical journey across yuletide land. His voice is what one can die for. It makes my heart pop out and go pitter-patter over his words. I wish i could be born again with his voice. God must have...
