Apologize today – How to ask for forgiveness

“An apology is the super glue of life. It can repair just about anything.” -- Lynn Johnston


If forgiving others is a great act, asking forgiveness with someone is equally a great act.

We have been learning how to forgive & let go but now it’s also important how to ask for forgiveness if we have said some harsh & bitter things to others.

These things happen in our daily life: in the office, at home, between lovers, between friends.

Avoiding such things in the first place is much better than regretting later.
Asking for forgiveness is not an embarrassing act. We also don’t lose our status by asking for forgiveness.
Bending to ask for forgiveness won’t make us a fool but will make us great. 

The first step is accepting that you were not right by scolding someone who did not deserve it. You may have scolded that person in anger or work pressure.

Approach the person, tell the person that you have done something wrong by scolding or saying bitter words. Show the person that you felt bad. Say "sorry".

In life, harsh and bitter words said to someone are like the arrows that have been released and cannot be stopped. Such words hurt people & make them cry. But it is never too late to apologize. Saying sorry with a smile and with a regret is simply a great act.

Just realize that you cannot make yourself happy by making others cry.

Does God Exist? The story of the Buddha, a religious person and an atheist

One day in the early morning Gautama Buddha was sitting in a garden quietly with his disciples. A man arrived silently and stood in the shadows, that man was a great devotee of Lord Rama. He had built many temples across the country, he had devoted many years in the service of Lord Rama. He would always chant Rama's name and contemplate on Rama's greatness. He was old and close to his last years. Even after many years of dedicated spiritual effort he was not realized. He wanted to know for sure if there is a God or not? When he heard about the realized one (Buddha) , he came to get his doubt cleared. When he felt nobody would notice him talking to Siddhartha, the Buddha. He asked Gautama " O enlightened one, Please tell me the truth! and truth only .  Is there a god ?" Buddha, from his intuition knew that man to be a great devotee of Lord Rama, he looked at that man with seriousness and said " No, My friend. There is no god ".  Buddha's disci...

Going with the flow of Life

Imagine a river flowing freely, passing through all rocks. Imagine a river which knows how to find its own path and destination. Nobody tells the river where to go. It is natural for the river to flow. Now, compare this river with our life. We could learn some lessons from this river analogy and hence improve our life. 1. Life goes in one direction : so we must never look back at our past. 2. We must be dynamic and that’s more natural : Being dynamic means there is energy flow. It also means we are flexible and can easily adapt to changes. 3. We have a destination & we can find our path : In life, we all have some dreams which we want to accomplish. 4 . In life we will encounter some obstructions: These obstructions are just like the rocks. We will be able to overcome them easily if we do some effort. Trying to fight the resistances will prevent us from reaching our goal. 5. There are many turns in life : Just as the river goes through many turns,...
