Imagine prince Gautama having everything in life and giving it all way for something he vaguely knew of. That's the starting point of greatness. To take the leap of faith. Every great man has to take the leap of faith as everyone starts with nothing and builds something that ensures the termites of time. I really love this concept. There is a Buddha in all of us as Gautam Buddha said. We all can be a Buddha in our lifetimes if we believe it strongly and take the leap of faith

It's disappointing to see that we are creating a world where machines will rule. A world where the rich poor divide will be greater. A world where we are finding weapons to kill more and more cruelly. We humans are blessed. We are blessed with abundance and endless joys. Why don't we create a more inclusive world? A world where no one is hungry and no one is suffering. A world where we can find eternal peace and joy. We have the power to create heaven on earth. Let's focus on that as a civilization. As humanity.

We lost ourselves when our quest was overtaken by greed. First, we wanted to learn - the earth, the oceans, the skies and then we wanted to own them. We invented toys of mass pleasure and mass pain. We got religion and creed. And we got lost in all these. We stopped being the wanderers who wanted to cherish nature. Enjoy it's gifts.  We started challenging the almighty the creator. We lost. We are dying as a race. Dying with the burden of civilization that offers only stress and agony of loans. Sitting in one position we are destroying our body the greatest gift of nature. We don't deserve to be called the smartest of all species. We are the most idiotic of all. We are dumb. AI is taking over. We will be lost in machines soon. They are our future. We cease to be us soon. God bless us!

As I get older, I am beginning to feel what a waste the civilised man has been. Just 10000 years of existence and we have messed our health, our mind, our environment, our survival mechanism and our future. We existed uncivilised for around 2.5 million years and it was great. Hunting, gathering and surviving. Civilization. The biggest mistake of mankind in my view. The second biggest mistake, investing in AI. It will wipe us all out. And we are silently marching towards that end. Let's embrace simplicity. Let's take a few steps back when we worked with our hands in the open. Produced our own food. Made our own clothes. Without machines and with tools. It can help us live longer and live fuller. Rather than just surviving like rats. Comeon mankind...show you are the smartest animal on this planet. There is still time.

We humans are getting more and more engrossed in things that don't matter and replacing it with things that do matter. We keep track of every new I phone model but we have lost track of the losing greenbelt and nature. We are killing everything that is keeping us alive. But we are happy to live now selling our tomorrow's.  It's a sad state of affairs. We are looking externally for things which are within us. And things which are external and unnecessary we are taking it internally - like peer pressure and loud lifestyles. Where is the sense? Where is the moral compass that controls our actions? Wake up humanity...before we are erased from this planet. We need the planet the planet doesn't need us. Let's not forget that, ever.

Seems like a humongous task - being the saviour of humanity! But it's actually not. It's less daunting that we think it is...if all of us work together and join hands We can ensure that everyone has food to eat, basic medical care access and clothes to keep them warm.  We don't need billionaires to help us in this...let them explore colonies in Mars and Jupiter. We can save the earth with our little powers.  We just need to care. Need to help and support with what we can spare. We don't have unlimited resources but we have surplusses that can help someone. A little help can go a long way in saving someone's life. Starting today, let's try to be more humane and help whenever we can. God bless us!

Someday we all will be part of the scenary  All of us And all the extreme emotions we feel now will just be lost to the universe We will be the air someone breathes Or water someone drinks We will metamorphosis e into another form - living or non-living So let's live in the now While we are still in the main story For we are the story now Later who knows? Is there a later even? Let's breathe now and feel our present form Tomorrow we are all dust That's assured.

The world today is running on consumerism. The constant need to buy and consume is fuelled by everything and everyone around us. When does it stop? I woke up today to notice and realise and be grateful for, that I have everything I need. There is nothing that I don't have! And it's a funny feeling...because I'm so used to buying, just like everyone else. May be it's time to delete the Amazon app on my phone, till I need something again! What will happen to the world if such a day comes? How will companies justify the salaries of their C suite and the greed of their investors? But one thing is for sure ..that the day common man would have reclaimed his life. He would not borrow for things he doesn't need and have more time to do things our ancestors did - like socialising, nature walks, watching the sunrise and feeling grateful to the God who gave us this beautiful world to experience. A toast to this thought😊

Trust me when I say that you are lost. You are. The instincts that you inherited through thousands of years of evolution, are all silenced, altered and domesticated by today's grooming by the society. You were born to be happy. You were born to find joy in the sunrise and changing seasons. You were born to enjoy this beautiful nature. Not to die worrying about credit card payments and homeloans Definitely not to stress over weight gain eating junk food made from genetically modified plant and animal products. Find yourself. There is God within you. Fine the light. And illuminate your life and of the people around

We are in uncertain times. It is getting difficult to find stability and peace. How can we prepare ourselves to be able to help ourselves? Here are a few points Happiness: We have to find ways to be happy without any outside help. We have the power to be happy from within and in our company. Exercise: To keep our bodies working fine, we must exercise regularly and move. Afterall, our bodies are the only home we have in this world Learn: Living is learning. Let's make that our motto in life. Learning should never stop till we are breathing Pray: There is so much in this world we can't control. All we can do is pray. And, we might just be able to live a happy and content life. Thank you for reading this. Even if one person benefits from this, I have achieved my goal. God bless! 

There are so many problems I see around. Most of the time I really can't do anything about it. But, I can pray. I can pray for strength. I can pray for someone else to be alright. I can pray for someone else's problem to be relieved. In the winter when I'm shivering under my blanket, I pray that the people who don't have the blanket even to get warmth through little miracles. I can pray for the hungry to get food through some miracle. Let's all continue to pray may be that way we can have a more peaceful planet!
