Something you always Wanted to Do - 19 Nov 09

Purnendu and Yashendu

Yesterday I said that if you need something to occupy the mind with, you could do something that you always wanted to do. What are these kind of things? Many people tell me that in their retirement they can now finally do things that they never had time for but had always wanted to do. Others tell me that after a healing they finally had the courage to do what they had always wanted to do but never dared. In spiritual healing sessions I even hear that people say after breaking up that they now could do what they had always wanted to do. More positively people tell me that finally they could tell their partner what they had always wanted him or her to know but which they never told.

So the reason for not doing or not saying things that you actually want to say or do is fear, lack of courage and maybe a lack of time. For the argument of time I have to say that you should always find time to do what you really want to do. You should not push things to ‘another day’ or a later time if you really have the wish to do them. Take care of yourself, take time for yourself!

And also have courage to do something for yourself. Have the courage to do what you always wanted to do. Otherwise your life is over before you got to do it! Life is short, you need to live it! If there is any wish in your heart that needs to be fulfilled, do it! Say it! Make it reality! You are the one in charge of your life. love your life and live it!

It always makes me sad when I hear people say that they have no time for themselves or the things they'd like to do. They are too busy working and fulfilling other obligations. I believe they do this because they feel that they need the money. But when you never do things for yourself, you burn out of energy and passion for life rapidly. I think life could be more simple... If you don't have the money for 3 cars in the family, then sell one. You'll need less money to pay it off, can work less as a result, and take some much needed time for yourself to enjoy life! It's so important.

I always find a way to do the things that are important to me. Always. Why shouldn't you? so few things matter, it is easy to get what you want.

Words of Wisdom

  • Relationship

    Breaking with someone causes pain, hurts and makes people feel bad. If there is any way to avoid it, please do.

    Source
  • Religion

    Religion destroys the lives of children!

    Source
  • Money

    Earning money is an art. Saving money is a bigger art. Spending money is the biggest art. You cannot enjoy money until you spend it. Let this energy move.

    Source
  • Children

    Let your children grow up without learning violence in video games. Teach them instead to play with each other, not against each other. Show them that a child of another nation and maybe with another language is just as valuable as they are themselves.

    Source
  • Scriptures

    Why are holy religious scriptures full of violence and blood?

    Source
  • Rules

    I do not like rules. I said many times that we are always living in rules but we should make it a rule to break one rule daily. But that should be your decision and not controlled by anyone else.

    Source
  • Psychology

    Don't take everything personal!

    Source
  • Religion

    Religion practically teaches you to feel guilty for something that you have not done and which you really cannot influence in any way.

    Source
  • God

    Belief in god is not a comfort after tragic events like rape!

    Source
  • Expectations

    Indians have too many expectations on their women!

    Source
  • Religion

    Religion has created social structure - and now we have the ‘untouchable’ caste!

    Source
  • Belief

    Atheists identify themselves with the fact that they don’t believe in any god. They have the principle of not believing – but believing that there is no god is also a belief.

    Source
  • Anger

    You have to accept your anger. It is a natural feeling, created by god. It is a negative feeling, yes, but you are not bad if you feel angry. It is there and you need to live it!

    Source
  • Personal

    I love smiling and have the habit of laughing :)

    Source
  • Life

    Don't hide the changes of your life! Your past is a part of you!

    Source
  • Closeness

    The base for strengthening an emotional connection is physical closeness. For any close emotional relation you need to be close physically.

    Source
  • Love

    Being happy in the happiness of your beloved is true love.

    Source
  • Feelings

    Only if you make your heart soft and accessible, you will be able to feel another person’s sorrows and pain. Only then you can give love from your heart. You can help the needy!

    Source
  • Religion

    People prefer making religious donations rather than charity donations to secure a seat in heaven by giving to a preacher or temple.

    Source
  • Religion

    How should you be able to tell me about my dharma, about what I accept in my life? Everybody has his own dharma. Who are you to tell me about my way of life?
