Keep the Faith

What goes up, must come down, what is down, will go up at some point of time. Nothing remains the same for a very long time.

Happiness is replaced with sorrow, and sorrow is overcome by joy, it’s a continuous cycle that goes on and on.

Life is like a roller coaster ride, sometimes it takes us up, and sometimes it takes us down.

But there is a limit to how low one can go, after touching rock bottom there is no way but up. So also, there is only so high that one can reach, after that it’s a dip, dip dip.

For a person on a high it is a trifle scary that what will follow next are surely some worries.

But for a person who is sunk in misery it is heartening indeed, that his sorrows for sure are short lived and his next move will only be towards peace.

That the light at the end of the tunnel isn’t out of reach, and it won’t be long before he regains his serenity.

Like the bird that sings before the crack of dawn, with full faith that the sun will rise, keep the faith my friend and look up ahead towards the sky.

Change

Change your hairdo; change your wardrobe; change your shoes; change your job; maybe change your vehicle too; but unless you change yours thoughts, it’s not going to change you.

Often we run around trying to change ourselves by changing everything about us. Little do we realise that what makes us are not the clothes we wear, the hairstyle we sport or the car we drive…what makes us are the thoughts in our head!

Change your thoughts and you change. Our thinking can make or break us. It’s a very simple; our energy flows where our attention goes. That is why we are forever told to think positive. Focussing on the positive, focussing on what we want makes the energy flow in that direction making it a reality. It works the same way with negative thoughts. Hence, it’s wiser to think about and focus on what we ‘want’ rather than what we ‘don’t want’. Think pain and lo! You experience it. Think happiness and lo! You experience it.

So, the next time you want to change yourself….don’t’ head for the beauty salon, simply change your thoughts.

Disclaimer: Attempt changing your thoughts at your own risk. Changing one’s thinking is a Herculean task and the writer is in no way responsible for your inability to easily change your thoughts (for the fact remains… it’s been years and she’s still working at changing hers!)
