Love is All there is !

Love is All there is !

As the year 2013 is about to slip away , I had to share this blog with you !
Yesterday I wrote about the magic of relationships and how complicated and complex they can be !
After that I was thinking that I have to at least , give a message of hope . Yes , relationships can be very challenging for most of us . 
Having lived , I think , long enough , to experience and to acquire knowledge about life , living and relationships . I feel that I can share something .
I started from the outside where I thought I could please everyone . After a very long trial and error way , I started realising that I was definitely on a wrong path .I found that I simply cannot make everyone happy or contented . 
Forget about trying to make others happy , I myself was struggling with my own feelings the most !
Where was I going wrong ?
Back to the drawing room again ! I went back to thinking and reading far and wide .
Slowly I started seeing and realising that most wise and great souls pointed towards the own self .
They shared that charity begins at home ! If you can not take care of yourself , who else can you take care off !?
That was a great revelation and truth .
I started cultivating self awareness and also learning to be contented with myself . I started enjoying being by my self . I really found that there was so much to know and understand about my own thoughts and feelings .
That was the awakening for me that I have to care and really love myself first before I can share or love any one else !
That's it ! The more I went in and enjoyed my wonderful self , the more I started to be happy and blissful !As this process went on , I become more matured and my sense of self esteem and confidence too improved .
That to me was my paradigm shift !
Today , I am who/what I am as how I experience my self . My life and living is an expression and extension of my experience ! That's it !
I live my simple unique life on my terms ! That does not mean I have become weird or arrogant ! No , far from it , in fact I feel humbled by these vast universal beingness !
I have just realised that as flowers bloom and are in their fullness , we Humans too need to open to our full glory and open to just be and share !
My real self is full of love ! It's like a fragrance that simply has to flow out ! 
So , love is given out without really expecting much from the outside .
I feel like a being full of love and it appears natural to me !
I love you ! Yes , I can say that to strangers ! I love you !
It's really nothing to do with you !!
It is my desire and choice to love you without any reservation or whatsoever !
I have decided to just love all and everything ! You make your choice and it is okay with me !
This is the crux and core to my experience ! Am I right or wrong , I do not know !
I am simply very peaceful , contented , happy and blissful ! 
With this I will end my today's message for the New Year 2014.
Till we meet again , take care .

The Mystery of Relationships !

The Mystery of Relationships !

I am going to share with you one of the most or perhaps the only mysterious thing that we all Humans are engaged in . It's called relationship ! We are all having or in some form of relationship with others around us . From birth till the very last breath of our life's , we are constantly relating to others . This phenomena is at the very core of our nature . Humans are social beings and they are born to live together for all their basic needs . 
Relationships bring out the best in us and the worst in us too !
Relationships make us and break us always.
We can like or even love the same person and yet we can also dislike or even hate the same person !!
Now , that is the strangest wonder and mystery that has always fascinated me since my childhood .
How can that be and why does that happen ?
A mother loves her child and yet will also hurt or abuse the same child !
I have been studying relationships all my life and then I went on to become a Medical doctor with psychological interest . 
I always see my patients or clients coming to me to tell me that they are in love ( whatever that is ! )
They tell all the exciting times they are having . How they feel they cannot live without each other !
They simply want to be together . Then , sometimes against all oppositions , they get married .
The honeymoon is hardly over and some very strange thing happens . That much talked of love has just vanished !
I am not talking something that is not known to every person that is reading my writing .
We have all experienced some form of these behave .
I remember sitting in a class discussing about the many relationship issues with my other psychotherapist .  I just spoke out , that a handful of people in our lives have such a strong hold on our lives !
In a world of about 7 billion people , these few relationships can be sooo challenging !
Can you feel my frustration ?
I really want to be there for all people , but in spite of all my wisdom and knowledge I am helpless !
I have seen my very own near and dear ones in the same miserable situation and I can do nothing !
When I share my feelings with people from my culture , they have a word that gets me very upset , to say the least . It's their Karmas ! What the F@#$ !! ( So sorry for my strong expression ) 
I have all respect for traditions and all that , but I get very uncomfortable when I cannot understand  or comprehend something that is given to me to dis empower me or others !
Destiny or faith is okay . Just don't make me feel helpless or worst , fatalistic !
Relationships are so complicated and complex !
We have Toxic relationships that are so bizarre that I wonder how can we intelligent beings do that to ourselves !
So , you can see how strange and mysterious is  the thing called relationship !
Welcome and join me in just having a free expression on these mystery .
Till we meet again , thank you for being so patient .
