The Essence of Love!

I see the essence of love in Christ's ultimate sacrifice of His life. The King and source of love has revealed what it means to love on the cross. In total freedom, He laid down His own life for the good of every person. This is really a passionate love for each person. He does not even care to receive love in return. Life is the most precious gift in every person and that is the gift that He has given for you and me. The essence of Love is Sacrifice.

When St. Paul says, it is no longer I who live but Christ who lives in me, I believe what he meant was that I am allowing God's love to flow from me to every one. In this way, St. Paul becomes a true follower of Jesus Christ, the King of Love.

Whose footprints you follow?

In the depth of everyone's heart, one desires to make progress in life. One knows the reason and the purpose for which one intends to grow. At this juncture, it is apt to recall what Newton said about the third law of motion: "To every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction." In life, the opposite reaction to one's effort to develop could be laziness, tendency to postpone things and mediocrity. How does one respond to this fact? In this situation, one of the things that one could possibly do is to follow the footprints of an individual or persons who have walk the tough path successfully. It is important to note that when one is focussed and knows exactly what one desires to achieve, one would avoid wastage of time, energy and life itself.

Decide where you want to go and whom to follow....there are many people who just loiter without going forward.

Happiness Vs. Fulfilment

As one moves about in his or her daily activities, one sets many goals to be achieved. Now, it is important to check out with what attitude one carries out one's daily tasks. In all that one does, if the focus is only to fulfil, then one is pushing oneself. However, if one does work to find happiness, new energy will flow in. Here one is pulled and not pushed.
Find happiness in all you do!
