If

If talent is everything, what can I sell you?

If happiness is self-created, why will people chase success?

If love is action, why would we wait for feeling to dictate our lives?

If, and if we realise.

RA005.

Now

The past had been good. The present, a little better. The future, hopefully, best.

That's one way to strive for. Bettering yourself, day by day, so that eventually the future would turn up as we have always hoped: perfect.

There's another way to live.

The past is irrelevant. The present is all important. The future is imaginary.

In this paradigm, the past is irrelevant in the sense that it can't accurately predict the present. You have the final say in it, by the process of conducting it in proper manner. Also, you can't live in the past, and the only real thing is now/present-moment, so obviously the present is all important.

The future is imaginary, because it is yet to arrive and however best we wish it to be or however hard we are striving towards a better/best version of it, it is not entirely in our hands. The situations and circumstances and the factor of chance/luck will dictate a certain probability to the possibilities unfolding, which are often unpredictable, even inexplicable.

So, forget the past. Stop imagining the future.

Live in the now/present moment.


RA005

Wise Present

When you think you know everything, you find out that you don't.
When you feel that you have figured out the future, you will realize that you haven't or can't.

There is nothing worth investing more time in than learning and the place to do it is now (present moment).

You are as wise as your willingness to learn. You are as enlightened as your ability to live in the present.

Be Wise. Be Present.


RA005

Rest and Recover

Even if you are God of something, you are not above Rest.

Rest, sleep or otherwise, is an integral part of life. It appears to be a waste of time, but, in fact, it is quite the opposite.

Without complementing work with sufficient Rest(sleep) you are treading a dangerous path, which probably leads to numerous undesirable effects.

Work intensely.
Rest and Recover, more intensely.


RA005

Love

Love is Less Over-weighed Vain Enmity.

Love is the other side of hate. Love is the starting point of all that is good and bad. Love is mostly a vague concept, prescribed a different value and meaning in different minds.

Love is the action part of passion. Or is it the passion part of action? I don't know.
To Live the Life to the fullest is in itself Love.

Love.

RA005

Winning

Winning isn't everything; it's the only thing. Or is it?

What's more important than winning is winning continuously. While it is true that a mysterious force is governing the universe and the results are not always proportional to the efforts been put forth, still, a lot can be achieved via confidence and consistent hard work.

"When you want something, all the universe conspires to help you achieve it." But sometimes the universe holds something better than your 'want' waiting for you. You never know.

Be Winning.


RA005

Something New

It is almost, always, exciting to venture into some new adventure. The word 'new' has with it a certain 'glow', at least for me. The freshness attached to the possibility of some new way, path, action, goal, direction, is in itself an attraction one's mind can hardly resist.

But something new should also be something useful, meaningful and compatible with our lifestyle, goal and style. Otherwise the 'new' would certainly and quickly turn into a 'temporary-failed-attempt'.

Be wise, with something new.
