Life is ECHO



A man and his son were walking in the forest.
Suddenly the boy trips and feeling a sharp pain he screams, “Ahhhhh.”
Surprised, he hears a voice coming from the mountain, “Ahhhhh!”
Filled with curiosity, he screams:
“Who are you?”,
but the only answer he receives is:
“Who are you?”This makes him angry, so he screams:
“You are a coward!”,
and the voice answers:
“You are a coward!”He looks at his father, asking,
“Dad, what is going on?”
“Son,” the man replies, “pay attention!”
Then he screams, “I admire you!”
The voice answers: “I admire you!”The father shouts, “You are wonderful!”,
and the voice answers:
“You are wonderful!”The boy is surprised, but still can’t understand what is going on.
Then the father explains,
“People call this ‘ECHO’,
but truly it is ‘LIFE!’ Life always gives you back what you give out!
Life is a mirror of your actions.
If you want more love, give more love!
If you want more kindness, give more kindness!
If you want understanding and respect, give understanding and respect!
If you want people to be patient and respectful to you, give patience and respect!
This rule of nature applies to every aspect of our lives.”Life always gives you back what you give out.
Your life is not a coincidence, but a mirror of your own doings.

The Uniqueness of You

The world only gets one you.

You with your gifts.

You with your smile.

You with those things you do.

So take your place,

take your chances,

take this moment to know...

You’ve got something to offer.

Something good and right and true.

Something God-given,

Heart-of-Heaven created.

And the rest of us need it, need you.
Oh, you think it’s no big deal.
Anyone could be that way.
Anyone could do it.
Nope.
Not true.

Time Answers every single Question

“If for a moment, we throw our pile of problems and decide to look at others, we would, perhaps grab our own.”
 A statement which speaks volumes about the truth of life. Life comes with its share of problems and hurdles, which need to be overcome with a smiling face and a never-dying will, rather than a heart full of grievances. It’s not bad to cry your heart out once in a while, but to say why me, every time a problems comes up is not only unfair on our part but also asking for too much care from God. We never had the same question when everything seemed smooth.
Life unfurls at its own pace, and gifts are stored for everyone at appropriate intervals. It is just a matter of time that someone gets his rewards faster than others while some have to wait, with faith in heart.
Some moments are so precious to us that they are to be procured after enduring some pains, some dejection, some sufferings, but the eternal bliss lies in the moment when the happiness is reached even after that. And HE, up there, wants to see that euphoria, that joy for which he has made you wait for long enough.

Carpe Diem!!
