Realization

There are no mistakes in life; only lessons. Lessons to learn from. Lessons to draw strength from. And to draw wisdom.

Anger and resentment corrode the heart that harbours them. Why then should I cling to them? It is time to let go and move on.

Words hurt the most. They singe the heart and bruise the soul. Hence, I must always use my words carefully and thoughtfully.

Reflections

I am human. I am imperfect. Hence, I have no right to seek perfection in others. At the best, I can strive for achieving perfection for self and try to come as close to it as I can.

Hurt is best handled by forgiving and forgetting. Forgiving is easier. Forgetting takes some time. I have realized that if I find it difficult to forget, it means that I have not forgiven completely and still have a wedge stuck in my heart. Hence, if I want to be at peace with myself, I must go back and un - wedge myself.    

Expectations are the harbingers of pain. The day I free others from matching my expectations, I shall be at peace and happy. I know I shall also make others happy.  

Happy Holidays

Holidays are refreshing.
Holidays are rejuvenating.
Holidays are cathartic.
