When you accept the truth.

Sometimes we ignore the truth and want to live in fantasy that is created by you in your thoughts. Knowingly you don't accept the truth as it may lead you to sadness. You try to make your heart and mind believe that things may change. Hoping for the things will change according to you! Of course it shows optimism but what if this optimism lead you nowhere or make you upset every now and then.

If you think you already know the truth or you believe it is true but actually it is not as you never try to know the truth. Why sometimes we prefer not to help ourself to know the truth.

Should you dare accept the truth and face the reality? Yes, but you have to be strong enough to face the wind of truth otherwise it may blow you off.

Few good lines from "The Alchemist"

• When you really want something, the universe always conspires to help you achieve it. (This is my favorite)
• We have to be prepared for change.
• It's the possibility of having a dream come true that makes life interesting.
• It's the simple things in life that are the most extraordinary; only wise men are able to understand.
• Everything in life has its price.
• We see the world in terms of what we would like to see happen and not what actually does.
• You must always know what it is that you want.
• Every blessing ignored becomes a curse.
• Sometimes, there's just no way to hold back the river.
• People need not fear the unknown if they are capable of achieving what they need and want.
• When you can't go back, you have to worry only about the best way of moving forward, the rest is up to god.
• If you can concentrate always on the present, you will be a happy man.
• Fear of suffering is worse than the suffering itself.
• All people who are happy have god within them.
• One is loved because one is loved; there is no reason for loving.

What is trustworthiness?

"Everything from a good relationship with a customer to a good marriage is built on trust. Trust affects how we see the world, how safe we feel, and how we approach new people and situations. It affects whether we are willing to go the extra mile for a friend, relative, co-worker, or even someone we've never met but with whom we do business." "When trust levels are high, you feel relaxed and accepted; you can be yourself. When trust levels are low, you feel uncomfortable and on the defensive; you can't be yourself. Friends who trust one another can be themselves around each other and share their innermost thoughts and concerns. Co-workers with high levels of trust enjoy working and spending time together and tend to be more productive."

Ten ways to build trust in your personal and work relationships:

• Keep it confidential
• Keep your promises and follow through with commitments
• Forgive and move on
• Realize that trust is up to you
• Trust people who are different from you
• Tell the truth
• Communicate openly and honestly
• Be a good listener
• Work at building trust when there is a problem
• Learn to recognize whom to trust

Love and Expectation!

Love...! Expectations...! Is there any relation between love and expectation?

when it comes to a different kind of love i.e unconditional love, then there is no room for expectation. Is loving someone unconditionally easy! Unconditional love does not happen easily; one have to face lot of hurdle, pain, hurts, and lots more...but if you really love unconditionally, you will be happiest person in the world. Loving unconditionally means not expecting anything in return.

Can't a person, who loves, expect love in return? or he started expecting if he thinks so? Perhaps he is started expecting!

I just recalled a story. One day a person while walking on a road saw a Scorpio was lying in water and trying to come out to save his life but he couldn't. Then the person grabs the Scorpio in his hand and saved his life, he felt very happy that he saved life of a Scorpio. But you know what the person got in return; the Scorpio bite him. But he loves to help others and he did without expecting even love in return!

A feeling of being loved by some only makes a person happiest person in the world. Then why people don't love or they afraid of expressing love?

Can somebody help me to understand these things?

There is only race where people don't want to run fast... LIFE!

This is a truth. In any race we always try to run as fast as possible to win the race. But when it comes to life people tend to run slow! why?
People, in life, love person around him/her and want to spend more time with them, it is possible only when people will run slowly. They afraid of losing love and they love to lose race! But then this is the only race where people have to run whether they want or not.
