Wonder why it takes one man to reguide another man to work on the so called man-made problems. But I guess thats the way it is and your doing a great job. Nice write up ! Life is short !

I'm long over that phase but I can be hard on myself sometimes because I only want what's best. But this is a great reminder to just go with the flow when "bad" things happen. After all, it's not what happens that really matters but what you do about them that determines the outcome. Interesting, isn't it? We're in more control of our emotions and thoughts then we've been led to believe. How's that for a wakeup call? :) Good point here because some of us like to punish ourselves, wasting time and energy, not to mention how it can affect others.

If one is acting on purpose he will find quiteness in chaos. Also, it is important to practice non-judgement. As you rightly said, its hard. Its is hard to find the purpose and align to it. regards venkk The key here is “Purpose”. If one is acting on purpose he will find quiteness in chaos.
