Philosophy of life is quite puzzling, rather it pertains to one’s approach towards life. Life’s philosophy elucidates individual attitude towards life. An individual decides, how he or she should live a life or utilise the life.
First one must be clear about what he or she want from this life. Life is also pretty tricky to crack about individual aspirations.
Introspection is foremost important, without introspection life’s aim can never be outsourced.
Life’s living needs faith, determination, strategies, transparent views, preferences and above all strong motivation.
Our brain is a storehouse of amazing ideas. They get activated in the isolation and silent environment. Often socialisation proves beneficial, hence a combination of the ideas cultivated in the brain and borrowed from the socialisation help in the formation of our life’s structure. Tranquility of meditation proves as medicine for further concentration and enhances in focusing our philosophy of life.
The Bhagwat Geeta introduces to the territory of life. It points out to the individual self and supreme self. Lord Krishna feels that without conviction, life is not possible. Just feel the fear of fear. Krishna refers to the fact that it is difficult to surmount the problems offered by the destiny,find solutions to over come that.
Lord Krishna explains in Geeta to do our duty sincerely without expecting any result. कर्म करो, फल की चिंता मत करो।
Infact, Bhagwad Geeta is a manual offered to us by Lord Krishna. So one can use it to study if one is in search of happiness. Though happiness is a state of mind.
Compassion and love can bring utmost satisfaction to the life of a person instead of hatred and enmity. To be stoic can make us free from pain. To be empathetic may enlighten our lives. Life can be made more rewarding and productive by adding different sources of hobbies and interests.
Few lines of my poem
Keeping my eyes wide open, I find the day and night never taking a break Thus I unveil the beauty of life not to creek When I raise the curtains of life, I am drenched in to a trance To me life comes as a melody forming silhouette to dance Each step taken introduces to phenomenal perchance Yellow dim light of happiness keeps glowing exporting me to redeem Life appears as a sweet dream drifting in to a lingering gleam The moon of joy and sorrow shower their beam Life's rivulets of sentiments flow towards it's main stream My life is not a circus fetching super set of joys and tears I find life as boon, situations like icing on the cake never getting melted Sometimes life's Cobwebs are wired temporarily but never blocked Often when life's autumn scatters the leaves of sickness The breeze of fitness flatters to get into briskness Few find life frightening, I am obsessed with it's magical charm Life's tree offers shelter to love and hatred teaches us to adaptation in it's form Every moment life brings panoramic views of it's vividness We dive deep into it's depth to dig out the corals of it's avidness
