Acceptance!

I just finished reading 'The Iceberg Is Melting' by John Kotter which I picked up from dad's table secretly :-)
Its a Management book but promises help to everybody from high school students to working professionals.



It suggests something that I could very well relate to..
Accepting and learning from change- the inevitable phenomenon!
The award winning author very finely explains through a fable that somewhere or the other,all of us are living on icebergs that are developing cracks and could melt very soon.The first step towards handling a change has been described as realising AND accepting the fact that unexpected things ARE happening..
Whether we like it or not..Whether we are too good to have such experiences..Things ARE happening..

Things could be in the worst possible condition and hope could be far from sight..But that it IS happening cannot be denied!

And there you go..

Once the threads of complacency are broken..And an acceptance that things are 'Not Okay' comes up..The solution is not far..!

It gives an eight step guide to accessorise our life by learning from each change that comes our way. There would be some who would further mess up things for us when things are already in a mess, others who might seem to be of some help and still others who'll inspire us. But if you trust yourself and know the right way out, then changes become experiences rather than miseries :-)

This was also talked about in Bawa's YES!+ in Delhi of late..

Acceptance-The key to handling Changes :-)

And taking action after acceptance, the key to learning from them! :-)

Destiny..!

Yes, change is the only constant in life..
Events come and go and the wheel of life keeps moving..

We make so many decisions in life..Hoping for a better change..
And our callous attitude sometimes spoils the things because certain choices cannot be reversed..Certain paths if chosen have to be tread upon..though after completing them, at the next turn the direction indeed can be changed !

But once begun, the work has to be finished..!

Thats what is occupying my mind right now cos I stand at a position in life where I feel that certain choices made at the right time could have mattered a lot..and see a couple of friends in the same scenario..

Just one thing from me pals..!
"Each path, each direction in life brings along experience..enriching us in a form sometimes unknown..But at the right time, all that has to happen will happen..Destiny,we call it! And beautiful are its ways!!.."

And as Guruji says..
"Whatever you are craving for, will anyway come to you.You are holding your fist tight..Just open your hands.." :-)
