Dreams: I am learning...


Dreams

Dreams are answers
       to questions
       we haven't yet
       figured out
       how to ask.

I am learning...

Of all the learning in life, the most gratifying and truly rewarding is the learning that helps you become a good person.

We are so engrossed in fulfilling our ambitions, desires, winning over… that even one simple deed of goodness feels so overwhelming.

So, what is doing good things mean? My learning about life teaches me that any deed that is based out of expectation, reaction to something (good or bad) is not in the truest sense good. In our attempt to achieve big, we are essentially creating a conflict in the environment. And more ambitious we become, more insipid we get.

The worst effect of this is on –no one else- but ourselves. We end up pursuing the wrong things intently … and all at the expense of something so important – our inner peace.

This does not mean that we decay ourselves and do not reach out. Instead, we must prepare ourselves to lead life in a way that helps us to go to sleep with a smile and wakes us up with one – at the least.

It is far more encouraging when others discover our good qualities, without our help !
