times, in certain moments, the heart feels heavy.
Life seems like a burden. Everything that happens to us appears as though time itself is conspiring against us.
But that is not the truth.
If many others are going through the same emotions as we are, then how can we assume it is happening only to us?
Life is like a game of dice.
Every morning, the dice are rolled.
Some days, lucky numbers appear.
Some days, the numbers are not in our favour.
If we learn to handle both with the same state of mind, that itself becomes the sign of success in life.
Let our dream be this:
May others judge us not by our appearance, but by our character.
Never cultivate the habit of comparing yourself with another person.
That would be a great mistake we commit against ourselves.
We say we possess intelligence — but for what?
To respect and love the feelings of other human beings, not to exploit their ignorance.
We are going to travel together only for a very short time.
A young woman was travelling on a bus.
At the next stop, a stout woman carrying many bags boarded the bus and sat next to the young woman.
Her large body and bags pressed against the young woman.
A passenger sitting nearby noticed this and became annoyed.
He immediately asked the young woman, “Why didn’t you object? Why are you staying silent?”
The young woman smiled and replied:
“We are going to travel together only for a very short while. So, for such a trivial matter, there is no need to speak disrespectfully or argue. I am getting off at the next stop anyway.”
Her words deserve to be engraved in gold!
“For a trivial matter, speaking disrespectfully or arguing is unnecessary. We are going to travel together only for a short time.”
If we truly realise that our time in this world is very limited, we will understand that arguing, quarrelling, refusing to forgive, constantly finding fault, and holding dissatisfaction in everything — all these only waste our time and energy.
Did someone hurt you?
Stay calm — we are going to travel together only for a short time.
Did someone betray you, trouble you, deceive you, or humiliate you?
Stay calm — we are going to travel together only for a short time.
No matter what difficulties someone causes us, remember this one thing:
We are going to travel together only for a short time.
No one knows how long this journey will last.
No one knows when they will have to get off.
We are going to travel together only for a short time.
Let us cherish relationships and friendships.
Let us respect one another, love one another, forgive and forget.
Let us choose gratitude and live joyfully.
If I have ever hurt you, please forgive me.
If you have ever hurt me, I forgive you too.
Because…
We are going to travel together only for a short time.
Life is not just an opportunity given to us it is also a responsibility.
A responsibility to light a small lamp in the hearts of those around us.
A momentary smile, a gentle word, a loving act these can change someone’s entire day.
More than the great achievements we accomplish, the true value of our journey lies in how many hearts we bring peace to.
Everyone we meet comes with a story.
Some stories are filled with wounds; some are filled with hope.
We may not know those stories, but treating them with respect is our duty.
Because we cannot see, from the outside, how fierce a storm may be raging within someone.
Our gentleness may become a safe harbour for them.
No one knows what will happen tomorrow.
Those who are with us today may not be with us tomorrow.
So let us give as much love as we can today.
Let us thank those who deserve it — today.
Let us forgive those who need forgiveness today.
Life is not long.
But its beauty lives on through our actions.
Dear young generation!
This life is a blessing. Hold it tightly.
Grow yourself — not by destroying others.
You can do it.
With love,
Sakthi Sakthithasan
