Sacrifice Life !

 “ Great achievement is usually born of great sacrifice, and is never the result of selfishness “. A quote by Napoleon Hill. Are your achievements born from sacrifice or selfishness? I guess it will surely be from sacrifice. Achievements born from selfishness will not have any value or it will not be permanent. 


Some people are ready to sacrifice their life for the well being of others. They sacrifice their money, health, love, and everything for the well being of others. Do you know where this sacrifice is commonly found ? It is seen around you. It is seen in your family itself. 

There are some people who consider this world as their family. The soldiers who protect our country consider our country as their family and sacrifice their lives to protect us. But then are we remembering them? Are we considering them as our family ?

If not, we are really selfish.  

 

Not only soldiers but there are many in our surroundings who sacrificed their life for others. We might be knowing of Ravi Kalra. He is the founder of Earth Saviours Foundation. He is known as “no honking man”. He sacrificed his life and earnings for the development of underprivileged people. 


" A sacrifice to be real must cost, must hurt, and must empty ourselves. Give yourself fully to God. He will use you to accomplish great things on the condition that you believe much more in his love than in your weakness ". These are the words by Mother Teresa. She is apt to give such quotes. She had made selfless sacrifice in her life. She dedicated her life to the dying in the slums of Calcutta.


If we sacrifice something we need not be sad about it. Just because something much better than what we have sacrificed is waiting for us. Sometimes we will be sacrificing the most precious thing we had. Maybe it will be a diamond for us. Never mind, just keep in mind stone collection does not end with diamonds, we will be getting emeralds, sapphires, rubies and so on. So never be sad thinking of your sacrifice. Just keep smiling :) You will be happy.

Turning Pain into Power !

  The word friendship seems to be too simple but it is having incredible powers than you think. It can give you joy, lots of memories that always hold over hearts and in the same way it teaches you really tough lessons of betrayal and mistreatment. Like many others reading this, I too had experienced both good and bad friendships, this really changed me but ultimately made me stronger only. I believe that we should experience the bad friendships first and then enjoy the really good life waiting for us. Bad friendships are sometimes a blessing in disguise. It will teach us resilience and make us powerful to withstand anything. But not everyone will be so lucky to overcome the emotional scars that happen through bullying or ragging. The tragic story of Ammu, a young nursing student from Kerala is a heartbreaking reminder of this. She ended her life leaving two words behind “I quit”. Ammu’s life was full of promises and I believe she had a beautiful life filled with happiness and wond...

Unstoppable power of challenges.

 W hile walking through the busy streets, I came to notice a poignant scene. A young woman in her 30’s sitting on the footpath and crafting rose bouquets. Beside her a tiny boy - mostly her son, who took the role of a tiny salesman. The boy approached the people walking by requesting them to buy the flowers. The little innocent face caught their attention, so most of them bought flowers. I joined them as well. This might seem like an ordinary scene in a busy city. But taking a moment and thinking of the scene will help us understand many things. In that moment I realized that the boy was not just selling flowers but in fact he was actually cultivating hard work and resilience in him. I am sure that he can face anything in life since he was trained to overcome challenges in this very young age. While many of us have grown in our comfort zone, it will be very difficult when life throws us into a big pit. The more we face problems in our younger age the more we will be able to face ...

Stop Comparing : Start Succeeding !

  Hellooo Everyone! Today, I want to take you back to your school days. Were you a front bencher or back bencher? You know society often considers the front benchers as the toppers and the backbenchers as the losers. Well I believe in what our former president, Abdul Kalam said, “The best brains of the nation may be found on the last benches of the classroom”. From the experiences and stories that I have heard, I came to know that the front benchers may know how to top the class but the back  benchers often have a  deeper understanding of how to be the real topper of life. And then there is that middle group, like me 😉,  the ones that don’t fit in either category. We often find ourselves stuck in the middle trying to succeed both in life and class, chasing for the ideas to be a topper. I guess I am deviating away from the main point I wanted to share with you. Let’s get back to those old school memories. Life was so simple back then, wasn’t it? The only worries were...
