Every moment has the potential to change your life drastically. Every moment has the wings to take you to the top of the mountain, where life looks magnanimous and the air fills your senses with contentment. That moment does everything in its power to make you feel that the world has finally paid its due and that your faith in destiny was not baseless. That moment takes you closest to your soul and helps you experience the best feeling in the world. The feeling of being in love with yourself. At that divine moment, you suddenly love being YOU!
Your flaws are all still there. Your past failures are still visible as scars on your soul. But still, you love yourself.
I wonder what empowers such moments; divine energy, God, destiny, luck…Or me..
I…..Do I have the power to create such divine moments?
Yes, I do…
At that moment, I decided to count my blessings; love, strength, harmony, relationships, food, water, air, friends, marriage, vacations, health, wealth, education…..I could not count after a while because of an overwhelming sense of gratitude that was expressing itself as tiny droplets from my eyes. I was experiencing an invigorating rush of positive energy within me, immense warmth in my heart and an overflowing love for my soul.
But wait a minute… Loving yourself cannot be that easy. It a complicated process. Such divine moments are rare.
Are you trying to say that I have the power to create such divine moments in my life every day if I decide to focus on my smiles rather than on my wounds?
Happy Loving Yourself!
Motivating post. Completely agree.
Keep writing.

we all make mistakes. What matters at the end is how we deal with it. Do we curse ourself or pat our back for trying or laugh it off or learn from it?

A teacher entered into the classroom, as the students realized the presence of the teacher they quickly settled down and there was pin drop silence.
The teacher cleaned the blackboard, picked up a chalk and marked a tiny dot on the blackboard and asked the students “What do you see?”.
Some students replied that they saw a white dot, some said that they could see nothing as they were sitting too far from the blackboard.
Well, the teacher smiled and said “Don’t you see the whole blackboard? Don’t you see me standing in-front of the blackboard?”
The irony of life that we keep focusing on small dots of life and the life with all it’s beauty just passes by.
Refreshing article, Deepa.
