Five Lessons for Life

My Dear Rishi,

Hope we can talk later in the evening. Hope you had a great weekend. I am looking forward to speaking to you today.

Few years back I wrote something and wanted to share with you. I wrote this at one of my lowest points in life.
FIVE LESSONS FOR LIFE
(1 :15am July 19th , 2009)

1.        Everything changes and ends: If there is a beginning than there will be an end. Change happens continuously between the beginning and end; and this is what we call life.

2.      Things do not go always according to plan: If you believe in god and if you want to make god laugh please do share your plans

3.      Life is always not fair but you treat everyone with compassion, kindness, acceptance, empathy and loving them unconditionally.

4.      Pain is part of life but do not give pain to others, if someone crosses your path even for few seconds ensure that you cover their path with rose petals.

5.      People are not loving and loyal all the time but you always be loving and loyal to them under any circumstances because end of the day you only have control over your actions, your choices. You cannot control other person or choose for them, don’t let other people’s actions determine your actions. In any situation you will always have a choice, a choice to walk the higher road or not. In this lies our freedom, freedom to choose.

Rishi, hope some day you realize the value of this although I must warn you, this path is very tough, very lonely. Rishi, I miss you very much love.

With lots of love, hugs and kisses.

Daddy
