GOD created MAN or MAN created GOD ??

GOD... every time you hear or speak this word.. its always related to something that's holy... something that's good... something that's supreme... but has anyone ever thought who is GOD ??? Why do we pray ??? How does he help us ?? How does good conquer evil ??? No concrete answers to any of these questions...


God usually exists where Greed or Fear exists. When was the last time you spoke to God ?? (This does not include prayers... Prayers are basically a routine thing) ... If you remember ... you were asking God for a favor .. It maybe because you wanted something (Greed / Want) or you wanted God to bail you out of a situation (Fear) !!! Without Greed or Fear ... no one would ever need God. Then again you would find people who say that they are not greedy and they also don't fear anything because they trust God. And they just pray so that they get Moksha (or freedom from this pain.)... Even Moksha is a want... even this is greed... 


The entire purpose of creating a concept called God was just so that people fear doing wrong things.. Fear that a super power is watching them and they shouldn't do wrong things... It is easier to fight fear of something which you can see... but you cant stop fearing something that you can't see... It was very conveniently created back then by a few learned people who wanted to make everyone a better person... God also was a big motivational factor... People would pray and hope that God helped them during their tough times... So this concept broadened and God became a wall that people could lean on... Its so that the Faith in people is not lost !


People everywhere would pray ... make many promises ... and when they achieved what they prayed for, they would thank God. God became a hero in no time... Gained popularity... and thus began the longest running saga... People didn't realize that it was due to their hard work that they achieved things in life... Its said that 'God helps those who help themselves'.. The answers to all our questions about God is in that proverb... Yes... Hard work is God !!! If you help yourself... If you put in all the hard work... If you are sincere towards it .. you are bound to get success!!!


There is no such thing as Destiny.. There is no book where God has written the future.. Future is something that you decide .. your actions decide... You cannot blame destiny for your short comings... You yourself are responsible for everything thats good/bad in your life and you have no one to blame it on !!!


For people who believe in idol worship ...  have you ever thought that the idol you are considering as God.. has been made by Man ??? So the Man who is creating God is mightier than God himself.. Its just a matter of faith .. If you believe .. even the rock is God ... and if you don't .. nothing can change that fact...


George Bernard Shaw once said .. 'When we know what God is, we shall be gods ourselves!!!' .. something to think about  !!!!

Never say never !!!

The worst thing anyone could ever do in any task is quit. Leaving anything half the way or quitting anything before even trying would always weaken your self esteem. One needs to win over oneself to be able to do things that require lots of abilities.

If you feel you are not up to the task, you probably need faith. And by faith, I don't mean people trusting you, but you trusting yourself. A self motivated person usually achieves great heights. Its basically not that difficult as it sounds. Trusting in oneself is a bit difficult but again, its doable.

A simple technique would be to undertake small projects in which you already have confidence and then slowly move on to projects that on a normal day would be difficult for you. Trusting oneself and keeping your head calm can bolster self confidence. The 'Never say die' attitude is very hard to keep but would make sure that you have enough chances to reach your goal.

Life gives everyone many chances. Similarly, we need to give everything in life, a second chance. Things constantly change, nothing lasts forever. You never know how things might be this time. Time changes everything in life and so it does change situations. Maybe you might have not been able to do a specific task at one point of time due to some reasons. There are strong chances that when you do it the next time, either you would find a way to tackle it or you wont face the issue at all as things have changed at this time.

Every time you do something that you don't know, there is a lot of learning. And knowing things or rather learning things is always positive. No one in this world likes to stay without knowing anything. Even Google keeps updating its search results based on the new search items available. People are not born special. Its just that some of them make their lives special. Having the right attitude and not being afraid of giving things a second chance would always lean in your favor.

There is an old Chinese proverb 'If someone can do it, everyone can do it. If no one can do it, I will do it !'

Nothing's Lost Forever !!

We usually have the impression that when we lose things, its gone forever. We cry, crib, do many idiotic things except for making attempts to get that thing back. It is usually said that 'one should never cry over spilt milk'. What goes unsaid is clean up the mess and go get some more milk.

Then again, we hear people saying 'try try till you succeed'. But do we ? If yes, then very rarely. Life does contain many instances where you lose something that you are attached to the most. But this doesn't mean that life ends there or that you can never stay happy again .. and certainly not that you wont get anything better. But what really matters is that if you really were attached to that thing, you should make earnest attempts to get back what you lost.

Losing things in life is not bad luck. Its just a time when you need to realize its worth. There is no time frame for realizing worth. It can happen in a day.. sometimes years.. If you really want it you would strive for it else you would just let it go. You may not get everything back.. but this time around you need to lower your expectations. You should realize what you lost the first time so that you take care of whatever you have right from the start.

Same is with human relations. Realizing the worth of a person is the most important part of any relationship. Humans are not perfect and they are bound to make mistakes. So, one should not feel let down if he/she couldn't give the relationship a good shot. Life always offers everyone a second chance. Everyone always has a second chance at everything in life but there is no specified time limit to this too. Sometimes it takes years to get that chance.

If you really want a person after you have lost him/her, you would go out of the way to get that person back. You may or may not succeed but its always a good option to keep trying. The fruit tastes sweeter if the effort to achieve it was comparatively more. Never lose hopes as nothings lost forever.
