Lost Values and Virtues

*The Lost Values and Virtues*

And so is our world these days,  that most people have deep respect for people who are witty and smart but not matured and sensitive to others and things around them.

Rich crooks are hailed and cheered all over as saviors,  giving the best and finest of seats in our churches, in our homes etc. But  what we fail to realise each time mostly is that their vast wealth came at the expense of the hard labor, sweat and hardwork of the weak and the helpless in our society.
By extorting the poor and vulnerable in our society, majority of them became rich and many more are on their way to becoming one taking the same crooked route.
This what I say to you this day, build for yourself integrity,  where doing the right thing and standing for the truth will always be an ever pursued virtue.

The desire to show maturity, and being sensitive to the emotions and feelings of others will be something of a regular practice.

Staying Resolute in the midst of difficulties and challenges in life builds up human faith and strength.  That should be a priority to all.

Perhaps these virtues and values  might not build you castles or buy you the best things in life to be seen by the world as successful,  but they are sure to build your wealth of great wisdom.

Think on these things.

How Failure Breeds Great Achievers

I get asked by many people a lot of times... Why do you always like writing motivational stories and messages to inspire others. What inspires you, and what do you get from doing that  every morning anyway? My answer has always been simple. To prevent people  especially you from giving up in life when you face the least form of failure. My greatest wish is to provide hope, faith and reason for you not to give up in life. I would like you to think of me   as your symbol of Inspiration for each day. Most people, ironically, think  that people who always inspire, motivate and encourage other people don't have problems,  they think they have a cozy and smooth life, that's why they are able to encourage people. But believe me, that's not true. On the contrary, those kind of people like me, are the kinds of people facing all sorts of problems, challenges and difficulties in life. The trick here, however is, I have chosen to look at  my failures, challe...

Everything Is Temporary

Corona Virus has proved that everything around us is so temporary. Things that our lives revolved around...work, gym, malls, movies and other social activities have all gone for a toss. These were things which used to occupy our time and attention virtually everyday, so much that we neglected what was most important to us in the first place. We are learning to live without them now, as our only option these days, is to stay indoors to keep ourselves safe. It is teaching us all  one thing,  that in the end, our home and families really matter. They are our point of safety in difficult times like these. So should this crisis come to an end, which will be very soon,   do know where your priorities lie henceforth. It is not in your work, or your insatiable ambitions. It is with your family.

An Attitude Of Gratitude

To have an attitude of gratitude is the greatest virtue anyone  can have. Because it shows that you are content with the little you have and a happy expectation of all you are yet to have and enjoy in life. If you really want your life to change, then you need to add the habit of  gratitude. I realised that our generation of today take the power of being grateful for granted. Because we are a generation that is burnt on having more and more everyday, we quickly lose sight of the important things we already have that is keeping our life afloat at this moment. It's almost as if each one of us is in competition with one another when it's not supposed to be so. I was born with a disability from birth, an advanced form of poliomyelitis. I had twisted hands and legs as a child so I was only able to crawl on the floor. That was my only way to move. I hated that and myself so much because I wanted to walk just like everybody else. I was consumed so much by hate and ingratitude ...
