Life is a mystery to solve, not a problem to resolve - Chat with God

God: Hello... Did you call me?
Me: Called you? No.. who is this?
God: This is GOD. I heard your prayers. So I thought I will chat.


Me: I do pray. Just makes me feel good. I am actually busy now. I am in the midst of something..
God: What are you busy at? Ants are busy too.

Me: Don't know. But I cant find free time. Life has become hectic. It's rush hour all the time.
God: Sure. Activity gets you busy. But productivity gets you results.
Activity consumes time. Productivity frees it.

Me: I understand. But I still cant figure it out. By the way, I was not expecting YOU to buzz me on instant messaging chat.
God: Well I wanted to resolve your fight for time, by giving you some clarity. In this net era, I wanted to reach you through the medium you are comfortable with.

Me: Tell me, why has life become complicated now?
God: Stop analyzing life. Just live it. Analysis is what makes it complicated.

Me: why are we then constantly unhappy?
God: Your today is the tomorrow that you worried about yesterday. You are worrying because you are analyzing. Worrying has become your habit. That's why you are not happy.

Me: But how can we not worry when there is so much uncertainty?
God: Uncertainty is inevitable, but worrying is optional.

Me: But then, there is so much pain due to uncertainty..
God: Pain is inevitable, but suffering is optional.

Me: If suffering is optional, why do good people always suffer?
God: Diamond cannot be polished without friction. Gold cannot be purified without fire. Good people go through trials, but don't suffer. With that experience their life becomes better not bitter.

Me: You mean to say such experience is useful?
God: Yes. In every terms, Experience is a hard teacher. She gives the test first and the lessons afterwards.

Me: But still, why should we go through such tests? Why can't we be free from problems?
God: Problems are Purposeful Roadblocks Offering Beneficial Lessons (to) Enhance Mental Strength. Inner strength comes from struggle and endurance, not when you are free from problems.

Me: Frankly in the midst of so many problems, we don't know where we are heading..
God: If you look outside you will not know where you are heading. Look inside. Looking outside, you dream. Looking inside, you awaken. Eyes provide sight. Heart provides insight.

Me: Sometimes not succeeding fast seems to hurt more than moving in the right direction. What should I do?
God: Success is a measure as decided by others. Satisfaction is a measure as decided by you.Knowing the road ahead is more satisfying than knowing you rode ahead. You work with the compass. Let others work with the clock.

Me: In tough times, how do you stay motivated?
God: Always look at how far you have come rather than how far you have to go. Always count your blessing, not what you are missing.

Me: What surprises you about people?
God: when they suffer they ask, "why me?" When they prosper, they never ask "Why me". Everyone wishes to have truth on their side, but few want
to be on the side of the truth.

Me: Sometimes I ask, who am I, why am I here. I can't get the answer.
God: Seek not to find who you are, but to determine who you want to be. Stop looking for a purpose as to why you are here. Create it. Life is not a process of discovery but a process of creation.

Me: How can I get the best out of life?
God: Face your past without regret. Handle your present with confidence. Prepare for the future without fear.

Me: One last question. Sometimes I feel my prayers are not answered.
God: There are no unanswered prayers. At times the answer is NO.

Me: Thank you for this wonderful chat. I am so happy to start the New Day with a new sense of inspiration.
God: Well. Keep the faith and drop the fear. Don't believe your doubts and doubt your beliefs. Life is a mystery to solve, not a problem to resolve.

Life that’s poignant

In bad times we hear the proverb,” Tough Time do last but not Tough people don’t “. It was really inspirational to read the all time banker who was fired from his top job from City Bank to reclaiming the lost glory and leading successfully J P Morgan., Jamie Dimon who once was holding highest position & leading banker who lost his job unexpectedly when his boss gave him an pink slip and then a fairytale story of regaining the highest position in other organization and mentoring it to the one of The Best

The person’s trust & families hope in him gave a biggest support to him. His education, experience & network could help him to reclaim the lost glory. The value he created for him self could not be scattered but actually it made him worth. It was really sad to read when the kids just start asking “can I have your cell phone now because you don’t need it, since you have been fired?” Just imagine the emotional mental agony when such questions come? It shows how tough & strong nut he had made up his mind to crack. It is ones own confidence in him makes himself grow strong and stronger. The torture and pain when common friends and society start pulling leg made him determined

It was utter determination to regain the lost glory that is inspirational. When we lose the job we do our best we loose our the physical worth and try to regain the functional worth

Everyone has their ups and downs, its as easy as saying, every dog has its own day…….. But the change is the self determination.

We normally measure yourself with the less privileged and think how blessed you are.
It is actually terrible mistake to measure yourself by someone else doing badly.

“If you spend your life on revenge, then you are beholden to the prior people, you haven’t moved on, you’re still responding to them.”

It’s only when you lost and found in the same position or climb the ladder of success or redefines your position, people notice and talk about it and remember the turnaround story. The other time people speak about good of a person when he is on pyre.

“The happiest people do not necessarily have he best of all, they simply appreciate what they find on their way”
