Like most people I have a core set of friends. Those that I’ve known for many years, and some for only a few years. They all have one thing in common. At one point in time I didn’t know them!
Obvious I know, but think about it for a moment. If you are invited to a dinner party or other social event or maybe even a work get together and you know that most of the people present will be strangers to you – it puts you off doesn’t it? OK, some of you are saying ‘No, I love that.’ Well this guide today isn’t for you, it’s for those out there who are happy staying in the comfort and company of familiar friendly faces.
Try to imagine that one of the people you meet today will end up being one of your ‘best’ friends ever. How great is it to have best friends? It’s great, friends that really ‘get’ who you are and in who’s company you can ‘be’ who you really are. Imagine that one of the people you meet today will be one of those friends and you will have a sense of excitement and anticipation. You won’t be able to wait to get out and meet new people.

Understanding others’ point of view

Just a couple months ago I organized a community feast in my village. It was nothing religious, but sort of community get-together.

 

My parents have religious inclinations and they gave it a religious touch. They made my wife and I take part in various religious ceremonies. Considering the fact that my parents believe in such things, I participated in those ceremonies, though with a little skepticism.

 

In the end, both of us had to offer the food to the gods. I am not really that kind of stuff, but I agreed and sat at the place of worship along with my wife. The people from the singing troupe started singing a popular devotional song and I don’t know how, I got into a kind of trance, time stopped. And I felt something that I had never experienced before. I was in a state of pure bliss.

 

That day I realized that sometimes, in order to understand others point of view, you actually need to be there. It’s only when you’re in their shoes, will you be able to experience what they were talking about, not before that.

Emergency

September 26, 2012 By 4 Comments
Let me just say that I am supposed to have here a different post, which I readied earlier. However, things happened that I lost the file for today! So I came up with this to share. Hope you’ll enjoy it as well.
E   very thing seems falling into its place
M   aking your actions go as planned, or your dreams coming true
E   except that- suddenly, or in the blink of the eye
R   ises something you didn’t really expect, that you have no control of!
G   eez. (Or in my case, God, help me!)
E   scape, make an excuse, endure- what then do you do?
N  o way that you’re just gonna give up! or get stuck right there.
C  alm down…take a deep breath…compose yourself…identify your alternatives.
Y  es- best of all, in times like this- “test your faith”.
And you’ll get by just fine, as I did!

Accept Your Friend’s Mistakes

September 3, 2012 By 2 Comments
 
  
 
 

Some find it even harder to accept mistakes their friends make than they do their own. Especially when it’s personal, it can feel like inconsideration at least, betrayal at worst.


Take a moment to think about letting go of your own mistakes, mistakes you may have made that upset someone close to you. Were you forgiven, did you want to be forgiven but weren’t? How did it make you feel?


See if you can use those feelings of wanting to make it up to that person and apply them to your friend when they have upset you. We’re all just doing the best from where we are in our lives and sometimes that’s not very good.

 

We all deserve another chance though. Try offering that chance to someone who has upset You.

How does Money Affect You?

August 7, 2012 By 6 Comments

 
 

They say money is the root of all evil. Money changes people in a horrific way. However, I believe money only brings out who you really are.

Do you guys believe money changes people or does it bring out who you really are?

For this specific question it would really help if you guys comment on others answers of this question. Let’s get some discussions going!
