जिसने अपनी मंजिल खुद ही बनाई।
उम्मीदों का ये जहाँ सारा, है उसी का जो है दिलजला। देख कठिनाईयां, परेशानियां, वो दुगनी गति से चल पड़ा। हिम्मत है मित्र उसकी, दृढ़ निश्चय है भाई। न रुका, थका, थमा, हारा वह, मायूसी न उसके मुख पर छाई। चला अकेला, मदमस्त मनचला वह, जब भी मदद न उसने पाई। जग ने टोका, बोला- "अरे मूर्ख न पाओगे कुछ, गिरकर किसने है मंजिल पाई?" मुस्कुराकर, वह बोला- "कुंदन वही जो तपे अग्नि में, कहां अकेला मैं? साथ हैं, मेरे मित्र और भाई! जग में पाया शीर्ष उसी ने, जिसने अपनी मंजिल खुद ही बनाई।" स्नेहा
The Morning Friends
I woke up with the alarming clock telling me that, “It’s time to wake up dear. We, your friends are waiting for you.” I smiled and took a view outside the window. “Good Morning friends!”, as I whispered to them, they started sharing their comforting and encouraging virtues.
The clock initiated, “Always keep a track of each second, don’t loose the hold. Hold time with it’s head and you will succeed.”
As I stepped outside, the night was converting into early dawn and the view was amazingly beautiful. They waved and said, “Be beautiful inside out like us. Maintain a perfect harmony and balance like us. Embrace the change wholeheartedly as it will bring a better version of yours always.”
The Moon was fading and dull, almost invisible. I felt bad for its condition. Even then it smiled and corrected me, “No my dear! Never feel low. Time will be tough, there will be failures. But you must not forget, when courage is in heart, there is always chance to rise again. It’s a temporary phase which will pass out. Meanwhile prepare, work on yourself and come again with a bang. Like I will meet you at night again.”
The fresh air filled me with freshness all around. It whispered to me, “Be fresh and lively like me. Take in the positivity and spread it all around, people need it.”
The benign cool temperature embraced me and gestured, “Spread the warmth of love of your heart unconditionally to the whole world, humans and nature collectively. Forgive and forget all. You are like me just give comfort to others.” I asked, “But what about me? When someone hurt me, how can I spread love?” It answered, “The ones with pure heart and noble mind are always protected. Don’t worry about who did what, you follow your path, the nature will perform it’s justice.”
By that time my cute little melodious friends was hopping around me. “Hey, come lets enjoy! Be like us, childlike, joyful, filled with hope and melody. The joy keeps us young and adorable. The hope keeps us motivated that by the evening we will surely get something for our living. And the sweet voice makes up the day of anyone or everyone we meet. Even if you perform a small task, do it well. It doesn’t matter that the work you performed was small or big. What matters is how effectively and efficiently you executed it and how proud are you on that work”, said the birds.
I cheerfully started my morning with my friends, playing, giggling and chatting with one another. It was the time for me to start the daily chores.
As I was about to leave, an insightful voice came from behind. I turned and my eyes broadened with brightness. It was the Sun!
“Going without meeting me?”, it questioned. “How can I?”, I answered. The Sun said, “I know, I am a bit late today. Actually I was not. I was hiding behind the clouds and was waiting for my turn to come. Friend, don’t forget to shine! Be confident and have self belief like me. Be disciplined and focussed, aim the goal and hit it. Be persistent like me, for there will surely be a day when your bright shine will fill all this universe. Just keep going!”
And with the precious surprising gifts given by my friends, I started the day.
मैं हारती नहीं। (I don’t fail)
मैं निराश होती हूँ, किन्तु हारती नहीं। मैं थोडा ठहरती हूँ, किन्तु चलना बंद नहीं करती। हां, मैं गिरती जरूर हूँ, हां, मैं गिरती जरूर हूँ, किन्तु, ऊंचे मुकामो तक पहुंचना बंद नहीं करती । स्नेहा श्रीवास्तव
Cherish Each Moment!
My life’s philosophy:
Cherish all moments of your life starting from the minutest to the biggest one. Not everyone gets a chance to have all the good times. We often lament for what we don’t have in our lives, ignoring the tiny happy moments or successes. This results in our dual loss- one repenting for what we never had and two loosing out the present happiness.
Often, we compare our lives with others. We find that other person is having all good in his or her life in comparison to ours.
Try and understand that even that person may be having the downside in his or her life. It may be the case that the person doesn’t show or the other side isn’t visible.
Remember, you are unique. You are one personality on this earth. The fact that you are born as a human being on this earth is in itself a great blessing. You are special firstly for yourself, then for your creator and lastly for those who care for you. Identify yourself, be grateful for the life and its good parts or times.
May be the happiness or good moments which you are living and taking for granted, someone might not be getting!
So if you are having one good moment in your life, feel blessed and the most luckiest person to get it. Just enjoy that moment with the open heart to its fullest like a child.
This lifestyle will have one more benefit for the person. Living this way will in turn be your lifetime memory and act like a healer in your lows. You can remind and motivate yourself by remembering the good moments. An instant inner hope and love inside your heart at that very moment of grief will overpower the suffering. This feeling will elevate and uplift you drastically by giving strength to regain and confidently saying again to yourself, “I am back!”
The Innocently Powerful Prayer
“I bow to you and your supreme power.
Please brighten my body inside out and my aura similar to your brightness.
Let me be disciplined and dedicated to whatever work I take in my hands, just like you.
Sharpen my weapons- confidence, agility and courage like you do yours.
Hold my hand and guide me through the narrow and confusing maze to reach my goals.
Eliminate the roadblocks, negativity by burning, illuminate and clear my path with your rays.
Solitude and self dependence are the characteristics we have common, bless me to be like you, Oh mighty with all love and care inside you!
Kindly bestow me with your precious blessings to be like you, under you and for you”, prayed the little hands, long hair and innocent eyes.
Smiling Sun extending his blissful rays answered, “Amen!”
