The ideal life
The
ideal life
What
is an ideal life? It may be difficult to define. Also it varies person to
person depending on one’s needs and priorities. But a wholesome life has
certain parameters.
Life
Quotient LQ is a combination of various factors:
Spiritual
Q
Happiness
Q
Health
Q
Sexuality
Q
Intelligence
Q
Emotional
Q
Social
Q
Financial
Q
Achievement
Q
Life
Skill Q
It
is well balanced optimum development of these factors which leads to an ideal
life about which one can have immense satisfaction as the life progresses. For
this one needs to have -
· Positive spirituality.
It is not necessary to be very religious or spend hours praying but it is the
inner state which is in union with higher consciousness. It is the journey of
of self realization to self actualization.
· Positive life
path. One must determine the purpose of being. The path of life should become
one of righteousness. This is the real meaning of yog, the union where one
moves from disorder to order. Dharma should not be confused with religion.
Dharma is the way of rightful life making truthful and wise choices thereby
limiting impulsiveness. It is not necessary to become a saint but being a true
human being must be the minimum.
· Positive life
goals. One must be careful in choosing goals. Goals must fit well into higher
mission of life. They should not contradict else this will lead to loss of
direction.
· Positive self
identity. One needs to create a positive self identity, a positive I. There are
some factors which one cannot choose but one can give importance to many
factors which one can choose to create a positive identity like honesty,
integrity, commitment, wisdom etc. One can generate such positive traits in
self and continue to grow through the course of life.
· Positive mind
& emotions. No need to tell that to have success and satisfaction in life
how important it is to have positive mind and emotions. One needs to know that positive
mind and emotions can be easily developed through right choices and attitude.
· Positive health. Poor
physical health can be the major source of distraction and loss of happiness, time,
energy & resources. Surprisingly most of the time we are responsible for
poor health and diseases. A healthy
lifestyle is the best investment one can make in life.
· Positive socialization.
Relatives, colleagues, friends, neighbors and others make valuable assets in
life. Ask them who spend a lonely life, nothing is more painful. Relationships
must be preserved thoughtfully and carefully making them enriched with
symbiotic interdependence, integrating and mutually progressive.
· Positive education.
Education must lead to learning. It should growth oriented and should help in
generation of wisdom. This being crucial foundation, one should make careful
choices and efforts.
· Positive vocation.
Earning money is necessary and equally important is to grow in a vocation that
is growth and aim oriented, that gives inner satisfaction, that helps to bring
out best of you and that gives a positive identity.
· Positive finance.
One should be very careful here. Money may tempt but remember rich is not who
has lots of money but rich is who knows money management. One must see that it
comes from virtuous source and then must learn proper management that includes
spending, saving and investment. Pay your tax properly, this will make you very
rich by being a responsible citizen and feeling of self pride.
· Positive worldly
wise. Mere laying down rules is not sufficient. You need moment to moment
discretion to live your life sensibly. There will be moments where it would be
difficult to make a correct choice but those are your real test.
· Positive
activities. Do not live in past or future. Live the moment, remain occupied in positive
activities and enjoy. Remember journey is equally important as goal. Make this
your life’s motto - love live laugh.

Human beings should not become SIC
Human beings should not become SIC
SIC Spineless Idiotic Cowards. How?
Spineless - Having no integrity, no strength of character.
Idiotic - Forgotten all human values, doing all sorts of things to ruin lives of their own and others. It could be getting into addictions, into antisocial or illegal acts, cheating, selfishness, greed, corruption, running after lust & money and so on.
Cowards - Who is a bigger cowards than one who is unable to face own faults and correct them. Living with moral sickness is the worst form of life. At the same time we tolerate all wrongs in society. This is not tolerance. This is apathy and such apathy only promotes destruction of society.
Real assets are human values. Wake up and be a human, real human.

World today
World today is entering a difficult, painful and dangerous phase. The gap between Have's and Havenot's is getting wider. There is frustration everywhere. The worst part is those who are high in strata manipulate affairs to gain more and more. This has lead to feeling of unjust. The loss of faith in system is very very dangerous for the entire world. It is very important for world to urgently realize that this can not continue for very long. People can not be suppressed by force forever. Situation can go out of hands until and unless those in power take quick and effective remedial measures to restore people's faith in system. World is in red zone and the clock is ticking.

Humanity is the guide now
Human beings are checked from entering the negative zone by three control systems :
1. Religion - Religion gives code of conduct and talks about punishment for wrong doers.
2. Society - Society puts check and the need of approval by society and to avoid negative social response, human beings keep them self in check.
3. Law - Legal system keeps check by punishment for wrong doing.
With changing times the effect of first two is diminishing. And police can not be around everyone all the time. The result is the rise in unrest, frustration and all types of crimes throughout the world. The trend is very dangerous. Things can go out of hands to the point of no return. This is a vicious cycle. What people get from others, they spread same in society. So more disordered personalities, more cheating, more crimes and more unhappy lives. Stop this before earth becomes hell.
Let humanity grow among us. There should be stress on teaching & practice of moral values in families and schools.
Remember either we can live together happily or we as human race will get destroyed.
