There is time for new beginnings, resolving unresolved issues, kicking harmful habits, getting rid of "toxic" people in our lives. The start of a new year is opportune to do so but that does not mean we cannot do it at any time, day, minute, second of the year. Happy New Year to all my blog readers
Below are some “moments of clarity” that I felt I should share with you. During the last week of 2011, these formed the basis of my thoughts and reflections on life.
God blesses the child who can hold his/her own. I have learnt many lessons that have enriched my life, sometimes I have got burnt...but still got the courage to keep going on. I appreciate people more in all their diversity, I have been made to understand why we are so different. I now discern things for not what they seem but what they mean. Often confused, but the answers are never far away. #2011 Moments of Clarity
Heart of the matter: In life, most of the things that we fuss over, fret about and are afraid of are at the periphery. It is only if we cut through the maze and tangle, that we get to the heart of the matter. Then, it is not hard to make decisions or choices after all. #2011 Moments of Clarity
Lies and fears. It is hardly surprising that lies are such a big part of living that it is safe for us to believe the lie than know the truth. From the time we are born, we are lied to (and in turn, learn to lie) and until the day we die. Then there is the evil twin: fear, that rules our lives. While we may never get rid of lies, we can overcome fear. #2011 Moments of Clarity
Though there are universally believed lies (e.g. Jesus was born on 25 Dec, 8 glasses of water a day are good for your health, sex is best in marriage), the biggest lies are the ones we tell ourselves. If one is able to debunk these lies, he/she truly opens his/her mind #2011 Moments of Clarity
No fear. Our lives are ruled by fear, we are afraid of the unknown, afraid of what could go wrong, we are afraid of what society has made us afraid of. But perhaps the greatest fear is being afraid of death. Since it comes to all, the one who conquers that fear, truly lives a full life. #2011 Moments of Clarity
