MORNING RAY OF SUNSHINE

All sorts of things can happen in life, people can be as mean or as hurtful. But it's not the event or what they say or do that causes pain. That comes from how we react to what has happened. Music: https://www.purple-planet.com

Life is very short and constantly changing. What is avaliable and doable today may be a remote likelihood, tomorrow. Don't wait or procrastinate, do it now. Music: https://www.purple-planet.com

Just for today, how about we live every moment with this simple belief - everything is wonderful, everything fills my heart with love and happiness. Music: https://www.purple-planet.com

This day belongs to us and no one gets to spoil it for us. So no matter what happens, fight any negative feeling that threatens to take away our joy and peace. Music: https://www.purple-planet.com

Whatever is not working in our life, it's not going to get fixed by angsting, railing against the Gods, feeling like a victim et al. If we've done everything we can to ameliorate the situation, then just surrender and get busy with something else. Music: https://www.purple-planet.com

When something keeps popping up in our life, it's no accident. Life is trying to tell us something. Music: https://www.purple-planet.com

The Universe has subtly, sweetly been planting the answers to every single one of our life issues, in myriad ways around us. The trick though, is that the message can only get to us, if we're open to listening. Music: https://www.purple-planet.com

At multiple points in life, we have been hit by some suffering or catastrophe. But which of them was perpetual? They came. We suffered. We dealt with them. They vanished. That is the reality of life. Music: https://www.purple-planet.com

Challenges, difficult situations come into everyone's life. And we are more than capable of dealing with them also. Trouble is our mind and hyper active imagination jump into the mix, making things seem far worse than they actually are. Music: https://www.purple-planet.com

In this moment, we can't. Not tomorrow, not this evening, not even ten minutes from now. And yet consider how much time we spend worrying about events and situations that will happen in the future Music: https://www.purple-planet.com

We can't wish challenges away and hope they will disappear,. The problems are real and will only get worse until we go head on head with them. Music: https://www.purple-planet.com

No label completely defines us.. But since we are anyway latching on to them, why not pick the ones that inspire and empower us? Music: https://www.purple-planet.com

No one's saying deny the bad things that happen in our life. But if 9 things are going right and only 1 is dismal, why spend the day crying about that 1. Instead celebrate the 9. Music: https://www.purple-planet.com

Having put in our best efforts, all we can do is let go, surrender and wait, patiently. Music: https://www.purple-planet.com

We do'n't need to not make pain the epicenter of our lives, the thing that weighs heavy over everything we do, every single moment. And the best way to achieve that is to bring passion into our lives Music: https://www.purple-planet.com

When it comes to our own lives, ourselves and the people around us, why do we focus more on the dark spots than the goodness and the radiance? Music: https://www.purple-planet.com

We may not even realise but we make things harder for ourselves with our expectations and apprehensions. Music: https://www.purple-planet.com

We are warriors. We have faced and triumphed over huge challenges. Yet, we let relatively smaller irritants derail us. Wreck our peace of mind and happiness. Music: https://www.purple-planet.com

There is a tendency to carry forward the baggage from yesterday into today. But this is a brand new day, a blank canvas. Who starts a new painting by first mucking it up? Music: https://www.purple-planet.com

If we think of ourselves as someone who can't stand up for themselves, that's how we will act in every situation. If we think of ourselves as invalid we will never find the strength to rise about whatever is ailing us and live our life. Music: https://www.purple-planet.com

Some things are just beyond our control. We need to learn the humility to accept that. Music: https://www.purple-planet.com

These aren't just voices in our head. These are Higher Powers giving us a message. Music: https://www.purple-planet.com

Making the most of every opportunity that life sends us is good. But turning setbacks into a stairway for success, now that's the hallmark of a champion. Music: https://www.purple-planet.com

Pain may be our constant companion. But we get to choose whether it impedes us from living our lives, Or not. Music: https://www.purple-planet.com

One of the best ways to rise above and detach from the sadness and suffering is to immerse ourselves in something bigger than us, that consumes all our time, energy and attention. Music: https://www.purple-planet.com
