Law of Karma: What You Give, You Get From Life!!


"Every action has an equal and opposite reaction," declared Isaac Newton in the 1700s. "Garbage in, garbage out," say geeks. Sow a seed, reap a fruit. Plant a chilli, you get chillies back. Plant a mango, you get mangoes back.... then i thought to myself but how is it that sometimes people sow chillies but get mangoes and others sow mangoes, but get chillies? I then figured that there's no inconsistency in this; the chillies are simply fruits of some earlier actions or decisions and the mangoes are yet to come.

One has to realise that you can't force a seed to grow. You can't compel a flower to blossom. These things depend on the seed type and environmental conditions. Therefore, one must not get dejected - one must not stop sowing good seeds, because there exists no other way to receive good fruits. Often, bitter, drier fruits are more nutritious and health-inducing than the succulent, sweeter ones.

The natural law of the universe : You get what you give, though you may not recognise it, because, it may arrive earlier or later than you expect it to or it could come in a somewhat different guise.

Lemme explain with an example : The cells in our body nourish one another, supporting and supplying each other with nutrients the other needs. The entire biological and ecological system combined makes possible the sustenance of the fabulous and intricate organic system/s we call 'LIFE'.

Similarly, if you befriend, you will be befriended. If you love, you will be loved. Love, family and friends enrich one's life more than any amount of wealth. But you need to make continual investments of friendliness, affection and love to keep the system fully functioning. This is because we are all human beings and we don't love all the time. Sometimes we say nasty things to a loved one - maybe we say things we don't really mean, but it amounts to a withdrawal from the love account. What you take out, needs to be redeposited as early as possible.

Affection and love are not about giving away money or buying expensive gifts, although it is necessary to do these things on certain occasions. When you give of your possessions, you give little. When you give of your self, you give all. Time, a sympathetic ear, humour or a helping hand in times of distress are all what more people need to receive and to give.

My MAntRa IN liFE :
"Give with your whole being, your whole heart - remember, half a seed cannot germinate. And after planting your seeds, expect absolutely nothing in return: Give without remembering you gave and take without forgetting you took."

Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow !!


Most of us stay walled up because we're afraid to care too much, or not to be cared about at all.
Have you ever denied your feelings for someone because your fear of rejection was too hard to handle?
we tell lies when we're afraid of what we don't know....afraid of what others will think, afraid of what will be found out about us....but every time we tell a lie, the thing we fear grows stronger.
I have come to realise that life is all about risks & it requires you to jump.... don't be a person who has to look back & wonder what they would have done, or could have had.
what would you do if every time you wanted someone they would never be there? what would you do if your best friend died tomorrow & you never got to tell them how much they meant to you?
So which is worse; saying something you wish you hadn't;or saying nothing & wishing that you had?

The pain I feel now is the happiness I had before!!



I hate how dispensable I am to people.
I hate how people feel they can just forget about me,
replace me, erase me without even a second thought.
It's like I don't matter to anyone. & hey, I mean I don't
blame you. I'm no one special. I just thought you were
different. I had more faith in you. & you took that,
ripped it up, shoved it in my face & walked away
without ever looking back.

Make things happen !!


What would you do right now if you knew that everything today would turn out perfectly?
What project would you start, what person would you talk to, what problem would you tackle if you could be assured of success?
Is there anything you're putting off because you're afraid of failure?
Is there anyone you're avoiding because you're afraid of what they would say or think?
There is no guarantee of success. But there is a guarantee that if you never go for it, you'll never have it.
And even in the failed attempts, you'll learn and grow.
There is no guarantee that other people will think highly of all you say and do. But that's their problem.
Do you believe in the worth of your own pursuits?
If so, then what could possibly prevent you from following them?
If you're looking for a sure thing, then here's one -- everything you achieve will come only from the things you attempt.
In order to succeed, you must proceed.... Today is a great day to start.

Life as i Know iT !!

Life as I KnOW iT ...............

I've learned that no matter how thin you slice it, there's always two sides.
I've learned that it's taking me a long time to become the person I want to be.
I've learned it's a lot easier to react than it is to stop & think.
I've learned that you either control your attitude or it controls you.
I've learned that maturity has more to do with what types of experiences you've had, & what you've learned from them, than how many birthdays you've celebrated.
I've learned that quantity is more important than quality when it comes to friends.
I've learned that it isn't enough to be forgiven by others. sometimes you just have to learn to forgive yourself.
I've learned that no matter how badly your heart is broken, the world won't stop for you.
I've learned that backgrounds & circumstances might have influenced who you are, but we are responsible for the people we become.
I've learned that you can't make somebody love you,all you can do is be somebody who can be loved.
I've learned that the word 'love' has many meanings, but it loses value when over-used and most importantly, I've learned that no matter how old or wise you think you are, life never stops teaching.

words can neva huRT me Or can they ??

Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me. That's a crock! An absolute crock! Whoever wrote this didn't have a clue.


I didn't believe it was true ... that "words can never hurt me." As a child, I knew that words hurt me on a regular basis. When I saw my classmate hold back his tears and lower his head when called a "sissy," something inside me ached for my friend, because though I couldn't navigate the nuance of language in the third grade, I knew the term "sissy" was disgraceful.Have you ever had someone say something to you that cut you to the quick?Whether they were meant to be in jest or not, foolish words often penetrate to the depths of our being and are stored in our memory banks forever.I recently had the unfortunate opportunity to experience this very thing.I consider myself growing in maturity and therefore able to handle little hurtful comments here and there. I take them at face value, may or may not consider them and then easily forget them as if they were never spoken. However, this time apparently the line was crossed and my emotions took over. A comment was made that instantly broke my heart..cry.gif
A friend I care about called me a " LEECH " ...my reaction was, at first, to try to explain my feelings...because I sensed something was wrong with the friendship.....he simply didnt answer/return my calls or emails with no logical explanation!..all I wanted him to know was that I wanted to salvage our friendship, and that I didnt want to lose him..you make things work no matter what you dont walk away .. but it was futile against the barrage of words he was tossing my way.The clincher was when he called me a LEECH leaving me crying. Or, more specifically, sobbing.
I have been thinking about this since then. Replaying the scenario over and over again wondering how one word that should be insignificant in the grand scheme of things could have such an impact on my thought life.

Hurtful words wound your self esteem. How can you esteem yourself, if people whom you respect or have authority afflict you with such words? It's even more disheartening when you succeed in life despite those words yet you cannot enjoy it because something inside of you feels unworthy. You've achieved but you feel like a fraud.

The hurting words are no longer outside of you, but are inside your head taunting you, bullying you, criticizing you. You've become your own abuser.

Words do hurt.!!! Damaging words can become internalized and can position you in life as the abused or the abuser. But Truth sets us free.Will truth speak to my agonizing heart and remind me of who I am and how irrefutably valuable I am ??? Only then will I heal.

I just want him to know that words are powerful, words once said can never be taken back....They can make or break a person. They could lift the spirit or destroy the soul...cry.gif

“My heart smiled when you kissed my lips. What a sweet surprise.”






Current mood: surprised

When did you became a part of my life?
When did I let you in?
I don't know...
I know that you came in and brought happiness and joy.
I know that you came in and put a light in my life.
But when did you become a part of my life?
When did I let you in?
I know that with you I can be happy
I know that with you my life can be much better.
But when did you become a part of my life?
When did I let you in?
I know that together we can build something good.
I know that together we can conquer the world.
But when did you become a part of my life?
When did I let you in?
