Yesterday I talked with my friend about our role in this world. Don’t we seem to be like robots in this world, following the system, following our role? We are like puppets playing our piece in this big play. My friend said that in most of those science-fiction movies with robots, the robots gain consciousness while humans are less and less conscious. Those who are conscious become more and more like machines, leaving consciousness. Aren’t we all just robots in this game, trying to find consciousness? Or are we those humans who have left this path?
You can sometimes see that human is just like a puppet in a big play. You think you are in charge but there is something bigger than you. nature, god, Universe however you want to call it but certain events just show how you are not the one in charge. You can know your body but even if you do, you don’t have full control over it. Nobody knows when, what can happen. Nobody can predict anything. Obviously everybody makes plan but you never know if your plan works out the way you wanted or if there is some other plan planned for you. You may not see it and feel bad that your plan broke apart but the other, bigger plan has planned something good for you. Our plan always changes but I live in the presence and am open to accept whatever comes.
Sometimes this can make it difficult for me to answer what my future plans are.
I believe that if you realize that you are only a part of this big game, you become humble in front of that bigger power. And maybe that is the first step towards consciousness.

Yes, humility is very important. Realizing that there is a higher power and a higher purpose for everything. When things go "wrong" with what you have planned in life, it's always good to remember that we can't always see the higher purpose right away. The late Steve Jobs once stated that you can't "connect the dots" forwards; you can only connect them backwards. In other words, we can't always see how something fits perfectly into the Plan until we look back on it later. In the contemplation of a life occurrence, my mom always says that if it's perfect for you, then it's perfect for the Universe. Nothing happens to the puzzle without each piece fitting nicely together.

Sometimes we are stuck in our dailly routine life so we doesn't realize about life itself, we are not aware of it. We are searching for consciousness or enlightment but then we just make our conscious less and less.. We all making plan for our future but let us remember that life itself has plan for us.. so lets watch what life's big plan for each of us... :D

SourceSpirituality is something very personal and individual. You don’t need to connect with a sect or join a group for living your spirituality. You need deeply felt spirituality and not show-off spirituality. Be natural about your spirituality.
SourceHaving a positive attitude can help especially in situations when it is difficult for someone else not to fall into a deep hole of negativity.
SourceForgiveness is the jewel of life. If we are able to forgive, we are rich. If you can forgive someone, he can also realize his mistake. When you realize a mistake you will take care not to repeat it.
SourceIf you read a superstitious scripture often enough, you start believing it is true. Coincidences confirm it but you have to follow your doubt!
SourceIf you experience something, don’t be shy to change your opinion, even if it is the opposite of what you thought before. Change if you believe it is necessary to change, otherwise it will cost you your happiness. If you change when it is right to change, you will see that new doors open for a better future.

SourceMost people think they don’t deserve to be happy.
SourceLife teaches every human. Let it teach your child, too! You are there for bigger problems, decisions and topics, you can protect when it is really necessary, but let your child face circumstances of life in which it learns of life. How will it learn otherwise?
SourceYou can trust people only when you know them and you can only get to know them if they show what they feel. So make a start and show what you feel.
SourcePeople believe in superstition because it gives rest and comfort to the mind. It is the human nature that you want to believe only what is favourable and comfortable for you, even if that is not true.
SourceThe western system fails – it calculates money but emotions have no space in that equation.
SourceDon't enjoy being a victim. Don't keep your problems like companions but let them go.

SourceTry to be attached to as little as possible, leave old things, throw them out and give them to someone who needs them more than you.
SourceYou cannot love God purely, there will either be fear or greed. Parents install these feelings related to God. God sees if you are a bad child! Don’t lie or fight with others, God knows everything! If you want to achieve something, be good and do what God says! Parents use God for their education – either threatening with him or promising that he would reward you.
