Moulding in

Life is definitely a sequence of changes. There’s always a need for each of us to mould into situations which unfold as we progress. Holding on to old values and priorities sometimes is a cause of distress. When we are young we are taught to follow every teaching of parents but in the next phase every intelligent child teaches ways to learn better ways of survival. They learn from social interactions and reading things they like. With time it’s healthy to allow each person’s perceptions to change and mould into what they individually perceive as correct. That’s where many slip. The day an adult decides to wear the boots of life in the way they like parents should never assert. The well brought up individual also does not feel intimidated to mould into the new position of choice. The ability to accept the changes in every situation of life without fear is a skill to be learnt.
The constant dependence on the past and the insecurity to let go what we value, sometimes is unknowingly the cause of unhappiness in the present moment.

We should consciously tell ourselves that the place in life where I am in today is where I have chosen to be. Nothing from my previous values or position is in conflict. Each person is moulding and so am I. Contentment in my present moment can come from acceptance of changes that I stepped into.
Peace is a result of choosing to be satisfied with what we achieve and moulding into the sequence of changes that usher as we sail in life.
Sometimes across generations there may be misinterpretations of contexts. That’s perfectly normal. This is also because change is the only constant in this universe. The ability to mould into the new concepts of values is a skill that we should nurture at every stage as we move on.
finally happy is the soul who’s mastered the ability to accept every changing perspective of life.

To choose to be happy today is my choice and to be independent enough to not hold anyone responsible for how my life unfolds is my nurtured maturity.
I consider myself to be happy, peaceful and content.
I try to absorb every change as the law of nature.

Peaceful is the soul who can perceive that “That change is the only constant in this universe” .
Moulding in is the key to happiness.

Life teaches.

There’s no end to learning from life at every stage. Man being primarily a social being we have to always work on interpersonal relationships to feel peaceful and socially secure.
The moment the balance between expectations and realisation is disturbed we start feeling stressed. This is absolutely true and how it should be. However there’s one observation that in situations of turbulence it’s the mutual responsibility of each person to work on it. If someone does not respond as desired is it by choice or under pressure of other situations? Not every person can always control their tranquility or inner sanity at all times. Some moments call for understanding ,retrospection and introspection into our own role in the dynamics of the resultant distress.
Whenever near and dear ones are concerned we are sometimes blinded with a huge sense of belonging that no law of reasoning can pull our reigns down.
The fact that we love someone so dearly makes us believe that the other person should reciprocate at the exact same frequency.
My perception is perhaps that’s where we sometimes go wrong in our judgement.
Every person is different. The day we start respecting each other together with the huge love and care we hold in our hearts for them perhaps the music of life starts to play more smoothly.
Primarily one should learn to be peaceful inside oneself. The key to inner peace should not be dependent on external factors as far as possible. To master inner tranquility is of course a lifetime pursuit.
Once we are peaceful inside, the outer environment becomes easier to handle.
However, it’s each person’s huge responsibility to understand the expectations, limitations and mutual contribution to try to hold on in times of happiness and crisis.
Nobody can be happy alone. It’s hence perfectly normal to want our near and dear ones in moments of need. The response of a person in the other’s need is what makes things fall into place.
Once we start to count of the good memories of any relation perhaps the pain of any present situation can feel lighter.

All said and done, it’s each of our duty to value every social responsibility we bear towards each other and consciously make living stress free and happy.

Silence

Time teaches us many things. One of the major lessons from time is “the power of silence”. The more inexperienced we are with life, more do we feel the necessity of speaking up. We wish to clarify every details of our interactions. We are usually intolerant to us being misinterpreted. There are situations when we can reflect and appreciate that by speaking up things got misjudged.

Time teaches that silence at times is golden. This is more so when interactions are sensitive often with near and dear ones. In official matters, it’s mandatory to speak up and be clear about every details. However, every scenario does not call for exhaustive elucidation. There are circumstances when it makes no difference to remain distorted. Not everyone deserves our explanation.

During the course of a day looking back one can often comprehend that not every conversation was crucial or profound. It’s very often prudent to remain in silence and let action prove the truth. A properly placed moment of silence can often heal a lot of unexpressed sorrow. When interaction is between level headed people who are intellectually and emotionally at par, silence can be ground breaking.

All misunderstandings and emotional anguish is often a result of lambasting and harangue. When one learns to live with tranquility through that moment of adrenaline outburst shall the glow of silence be visible. Our behaviour is scientifically governed by a balance of hormones where the hypothalamus located deep inside the brain plays a role of governance. Endorphins, serotonin, oxytocin and dopamine are the happy hormones. Whereas adrenaline rush causes anxiety, hypertension, insomnia, indigestion and cardiac disorders. Certain activities like exercise, relaxation, good sleep, meditation help in the surge of hormones that bring calmness and tranquility.

The balance of our reactions is within the bandwidth of our lifestyle and how we work towards making it healthy. Reactions are innate to human but the ability to mould, hold and modify how we react is the refinement one can achieve with the perseverance of conscious strive to grip on our primitive responses.

Silence is not weakness it’s in fact the ultimate strength of resilience where kinship is involved. In circumstances of official interactions prudent use of language is a skill of the erudite. The ability to choose silence over words is an expertise learnt from stumbles of unhappiness we created in the past from talking beyond necessity.

Silence is golden.

Words are powerful.

The ability to choose is a skill of the maestro who’s learnt the music of life.
