Blessed are those who make their passion their vocation.
I have envied people who have had the good fortune to do so and often wonder why and how we choose to do what we do.
Often conditioning plays a huge part in our choice of profession. I wish more of us were encouraged to take risks early and were guided to develop our potential.
Blessed are those who can stay calm in the midst of turbulence.
I am in awe of people who manage to have a sense of detachment and calmness when all around them are losing their heads.
It takes a rare strength of character to be able to be this way.
Blessed are those who find joys in the small things in life.
The small, insignificant things often have the most significance.
Blessed are those who have the ability to deal with both kings and paupers alike.
I am amazed at people who can master this art. In India, somehow if you are nice to all alike, you tend to get taken for granted. It's strange to actually get the right mix, in knowing when to be stern yet yielding to niceness when required. This is a tact that I need to master.
Blessed are those who can believe in themselves.
...even when life seems tough.
Blessed are those who are truly happy in their skin.
With more pressure, less time, more choices and the many demands on being perfect, it's so tough to be happy with who you are. Comparison and competitiveness seems to have taken such a toll that people feel the need for pretence and often portray what they are not.
....Well that's it for now...Too much of a good thing...need to get back to my evil ways.
