Life must be celebrated in all its simple, everyday moments…If you pause to admire a dew drop or a falling leaf or feel the air in your lungs or understand the miracle in being able to twiddle your toes without having to touch them, you will appreciate the magic and beauty in your Life! There is romance in the air, 24 x 7, and a celebration is waiting for you at every step… provided you are ready and willing to pay attention and be dazzled!

The key to deal with Life's upheavals is to remember that every phase in Life has a tenure. So, we must trust the process of Life. And go with the flow. Faith and Patience are critical to flowing with Life. Just cling on to them like you would to a raft in choppy waters…Life will take you to the shore, to where you must arrive. Always.

What others think of you, or what they say or do to you, is their business; not yours! They have a right to their opinions. And you must just let them be. It is when you try to change their opinion of you that you grieve – and often suffer. Instead, be unmoved by their choices, their utterances, and just be true to yourself. You will then be fearless and unaffected by all that is happening around you.

When you have to do what you don't like, train your mind to be non-complaining. You suffer only when you complain and when you wish your Life is different from what it is now. Of course, this situation arises only when you have not exercised, or can’t exercise, your choice of not doing what you don't like to do.

Everything that's happening to you, to me, to us, is part of an inscrutable Master Plan. And that grand design is not flawed! Everything is the way it should be and is going exactly per that Plan! And today is always better than yesterday. At least your ability to deal with what you are faced with has improved with one more day's effort of dealing with it.

Life is intrinsically impermanent. Over time, everything – and everyone – you know will change and, eventually, will be gone. When you understand this truth about Life, you will learn to live in a ‘let go’! This is what intelligent living is all about. It is only through living in a ‘let go’ that you are happy – because only then you are celebrating what is and are not imprisoned by what was or are fearful of what will be.

It happens sometimes that Life makes you feel so uncomfortable that you start asking questions, start a process of seeking. And that takes you to where you mustarrive...

Only what you love doing, only what flows from within you, will give you an immersive experience. Only doing such work can make forget who you are, forget your worries, and make you really, really happy.

When you are coping with a challenging phase in Life, try this approach. Do all that you possibly, and practically, can in the given context, even if you don’t like doing such stuff. And then pour your heart into your art, into whatever you love doing. Do this daily. Soon, you will train your mind to go with the flow. That’s really how you learn to go with the flow. One day at a time, slowly, surely…
