In your company

Whenever her mood takes a toll
Your sight delights her soul

You seem to hear her silent voice
And make her hope when she feels there is no choice

With you around she feels no fear
All her worries seem to dissapear

In her life you are the only one
You will never be second to none

Life is wonderful if you know how to live.

God : Hello. You called me.
I, Me, Myself : Called you ? No, who is this ?
G: This is God. I heard your prayers. So I thought I will chat with you.
IMM : Sure, I pray. Just makes me feel good. Actually, I am busy now. In the midst of something, you know.
G : What are you busy with ? Ants are busy, too.
IMM : Don't know. But I can't find free time. Life has become hectic. It's rush hour all the time.
G : Sure. Activity gets you busy. But productivity gets you results. Activity consumes time. Productivity frees it.
IMM : But I still can't figure it out. By the way, I was not expecting YOU to buzz me on instant messaging chat.
G : Well, I wanted to help you resolve your fight for time by giving you some clarity. I wanted to reach you through the medium you are comfortable with.
IMM : Tell me, why has life become so complicated ?
G : Stop analysing life. Just live it. Analysis is what makes it complicated.
IMM : Why are we then constantly unhappy ?
G : Your today is the tomorrow that you worried about yesterday. You are worrying because the act of worrying has become a habit. That's why you are not happy.
IMM : But how can we not worry when there is so much uncertainty ?
G : Uncertainty is inevitable, but worrying is optional.
IMM : But then, there is so much pain due to uncertainty.
G : Pain is inevitable, but suffering is optional.
IMM : If suffering is optional, why do good people always suffer ?
G : Diamonds cannot be polished without friction. Gold cannot be purified without fire. Good people go through trials. With that experience their life becomes better, not bitter.
IMM : You mean to say such experience is useful ?
G : Yes. Experience is a hard teacher, though. She gives the test first and the lessons afterwards.
IMM : But still, why should we go through such tests ? Why can't we be free from problems ?
G : Problems are Purposeful Roadblocks Offering Beneficial Lessons to Enhance Mental Strength. Inner strength comes from struggle and endurance, not when you are free from problems.
IMM : Frankly, in the midst of so many problems, we don't know where we are heading.
G : If you look outside, you will not know where you are heading. Looking outside is your dream. Looking inside, you awaken. Eyes provide sight. Heart provides insight.
IMM : Sometimes, not succeeding fast seems to hurt more than moving in the right direction.
G : Success is relative, quantified by others. Satisfaction is absolute, qualified by you. Knowing the road ahead is more satisfying than you rode ahead.
IMM : How can I get the best out of life ?
G : Face your past without regret. Handle your present with confidence. Prepare for the future without fear.
IMM : Sometimes my prayers are not answered.
G : There is no unanswered prayer. At times, the answere is NO. Keep faith and drop the fear. Life is a mystry to solve, not a problem to resolve.
