Pleasant or unpleasant moments are a part of our life like dynamic seasons, and many a times, create confusion in our minds. We keep pondering over the circumstan­ces which led to those moments and become happy or unhappy. We want to do many things but put them on hold due to prevailing circumstan­ces/responsibi­lities. This results in us being anxious and restless. Then to achieve peace of mind, we run after many things like meditation, spiritual gurus, workshops, reading etc.

Try a different approach. Accept all the moments of life willingly without a trace of hesitation or resistance. Accept them in totality and do not begrudge them; or try to run away from them.

First, connect with your inner self and establish a strong bond with yourself. Find some solitude and a serene atmosphere and give it a deep, lingering and honest thought. Think about your dreams or the things which would make you happy and bring serenity of mind. Think about the stumbling blocks which are stopping you from realising them. You would find yourself answering all the questions which you always had in mind but never really addressed seriously.

All you need to do is let go of the fear of uncertaint­y and make a start. You will see your dreams slowly taking shape. You will be overwhelme­d by the sheer beauty and power of your determinat­ion and efforts. Do not give up at any point of life.
