Learning to free ourselves from emotional baggage

We came on this earth as a little baby without any clothes and a mind free from stress, pain, hurt and suffering. Gradually, as we grow up things tend to affect us and there are things which we cannot forget.

Such things we carry like a burden on our shoulders. We don’t even realize the heaviness of this emotional baggage. We just keep on carrying the baggage uselessly. This extra baggage consists of things such as unresolved conflicts, hate, jealousy, hurts, anger, bitterness, grudges, fear, etc.


We just like to carry this burden for no good reason.

What we don’t realize is that we are only wasting our time and energy by not letting go of these emotional baggage. Time does not wait for anyone. So instead of wasting our valuable time on useless things which lead to nowhere, why not enjoy each moment of our life by smiling and being happy.

No one is asking to carry this heavy burden. It’s only us who can control our reactions towards things, situations and people.

Life is like a movie. There are some good and bad people. Also, there are good ones which turns into bad ones and bad ones which turns into good ones. Our life do have a play and stop button. The play button has already been pressed.  When the time for the stop button comes, we will have to let go naturally of everything – the body and everything associated with the body. We will then not have any choice. But we do have a choice right now. So let’s not get distracted by small annoyances in our life and let’s watch and live the movie of our life fully.

Liberate those who hurt you.
Accept that which you cannot change.
Forgive Quickly.
 
We lose nothing by forgiving and liberating the emotional baggage. Instead, in return we get lots of time to live, we get peace of mind and we can fully enjoy our life.  

Don’t become a slave of your emotional baggage. Be the master of your life.

Top Bruce Lee Quotes for Motivation and Inspiration

Bruce Lee was a martial artist and the founder of Jeet Kune Do . Below are my favourite Bruce Lee's quotes which I want to share with you: # 1 The key to immortality is first living a life worth remembering. # 2 Showing off is the fool's idea of glory. #3 Notice that the stiffest tree is most easily cracked, while the bamboo or willow survives by bending with the wind. #4 A wise man can learn more from a foolish question than a fool can learn from a wise answer. #5 If you spend too much time thinking about a thing, you'll never get it done. #6 To hell with circumstances; I create opportunities. #7 If you love life, don't waste time, for time is what life is made up of. #8 I fear not the man who has practiced 10,000 kicks once, but I fear the man who has practiced one kick 10,000 times. #9 As you think, so shall you become. #10 The possession of anything begins in the mind. If you like this post, do good karma, spread the word. Pleas...

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,...
