What about now? Before it’s too late…

Today
in a corner of the world
someone is homeless hungry hurting

that SOMEONE could be YOU

people LIVE here
and here
without light
out of sight
?
Is that right?

I am an average joe
just TRYING to make ends meet
can I make a difference?

one day
in a corner of the world
a light went on
An idea was born

I am THE DIFFERENCE
Between justice and injustice
between right and wrong

The voice lives on
when someone takes a stand
and says YES

I am the end of poverty

I am a different path

I am belief in your humanity.

I am saving the world…

One island at a time

I am a wave of compassion

I am the end of ignorance

I am the call for human rights

I am HUMAN.

Love can change the world

I am jobs not jails

I am clean water

I am the hands that heal all mankind

I am light and the gift of vision

I am the heart that keeps a child alive

I am the dream that becomes reality.

I am greening our industry

What about now?

What about today? Before it’s too late…

In one’s own lane, even a dog roams like a tiger – Indian saying

dog

Around familiar surroundings and people, a dog is more courageous. It will even fight with other dogs more fiercely if you are in the vicinity.

Same is true with humans. Being in love gives us courage and being loved gives us strength.

So find that love. if its not there, create it.

‘I am gonna buy a gun and start a war, if you could tell me something worth fighting for..’ -Coldplay

head

That’s from ‘A Rush of Blood to the Head’. And that’s active passive. I have to listen to my inner voice about what’s worth fighting for and not ask you because guess what? Your voice will tell something that’s worth fighting to YOU, and not me.

So ask yourself, what’s worth fighting for. And then start a war. And you will have not just my best wishes but also of Universal Consciousness.

Biggest lesson from Gandhi’s life

gandhi 2

Its never too late to start.

Gandhi was a late bloomer. He showed no signs of brilliance and greatness till very late in his life unlike some other prodigies.  Gandhi got better with years fighting his character’s shortcomings.

So starting today, start.

Similarities between Hitler and Gandhi

Sabarmati

Both were very angry people and both knew how to express their anger.

The similarities almost end there.

One wrote a bloody history, the other spoke only of peace and non-violence.

Being angry is good. Knowing what to do with it is essential.

A chicken is interested, a pig is committed

A chicken lays an egg everyday while a pig was killed for your breakfast. Just know that two kinds of people exist as you build business or personal relationships. Both of them are equally important. Pigs help you root, chickens help you spread your branches.

Very Inspiring short piece that needs to be read – Author Unknown

old faceReady or not, someday it will all come to an end. There will be no more sunrises, no minutes, hours or days. All the things you collected, whether treasured or forgotten, will pass to someone else. Your wealth, fame and temporal power will shrivel to irrelevance.

It will not matter what you owned or what you were owed. Your grudges, resentments, frustrations, and fears will finally disappear.

So, too, your hopes, ambitions, plans, and to-do lists will expire. The wins and losses that once seemed so important will fade away.

It won’t matter where you came from, or on what side of the tracks you lived, at the end.
It won’t matter whether you were beautiful or brilliant. Even your gender and skin color will be irrelevant.

So what will matter? How will the value of your days be measured?

What will matter is not what you bought, but what you built; not what you got, but what you gave.
What will matter is not your success, but your significance.
What will matter is not what you learned, but what you taught.
What will matter is every act of integrity, compassion, courage or sacrifice that enriched, empowered or encouraged others to emulate your example.

What will matter is not your competence, but your character.
What will matter is not how many people you knew, but how many will feel a lasting loss when you’re gone.
What will matter is not your memories, but the memories that live in those who loved you.
What will matter is how long you will be remembered, by whom and for what.

Living a life that matters doesn’t happen by accident. It’s not a matter of circumstance but of choice.

Life’s shit has to be more meaningful than making a sale and getting a lay

happy

Yes, it has to be. Happiness lies somewhere else.

So involve yourself outside of your job. Use your skill to work on a project of your own. If you don’t have one, join one. Find a non-profit or an entrepreneur who would like to involve you. There are plenty of each.

Exercise everyday. Do Yoga so that you are energetic for the rest of the day. Or play a sport.

Surround yourself with good ideas. It can be through books or people.

Finally find new ways to express those ideas. It can through planning a completely awesome date, an experience that will be remembered and cherished or, it can be through finishing a task at work in a different than usual way.

Murphy’s Law – Whatever can get delayed, will get delayed in a Start-up

dreamOk, I made that up. Its maybe because we have been boot-strapping it along with our day jobs. So real life takes over our dream in between – Our dream of combining Yoga and Travel and offering it to the world. Our dream of bringing health (mental and physical), happiness and joy to some lives.

Yes, its just another dream. On just another blog, what else did you expect.
