Lino's thoughts 🤔

Let it be good or bad. Everything happens for a reason.  The course of life is like a sailor making a trip on an expedition voyage. The wind, the wave, the current, even that little rest that sailor takes, changes the destination. Like it says, even the flap of a butterfly has its effect. We at times sails through life flowing all along the current not knowing our destiny. The storm you think that is happening perhaps is a calling by a better shore. As the smooth wind takes you forward, the storm too is taking you forward. At times maybe it is the corrected path paved to you by destiny. When bad things happen, we usually feel doomed, but let's face it, and reassure ourselves that it was that new shore calling you. Every incident is an opportunity. Let's row forward along the current, let's strive hard to withstand the storm, let's take a break for the wind to take you somewhere.  All we need to know is everything happens for a reason. The little hardships ma

Yesterday, I watched the latest Hollywood sci-fi action thriller, The Tomorrow War, where the hero goes to the future and comes back to avert a future alien invasion. There are numerous logical impossibilities in such time-travel movies.  The movie, but ignited another thought in my mind. What if we travel through the time to the future to see what we will be in 25 years from now? If we see it and get a chance to correct it, will we capitalise on the opportunity? You might laugh at my thought, but let's simulate and imagine. If we live like this, will we be happy with the future? Be it health, wealth, mental peace, career, children, family or anything you might think that may suffer if you live the life you are leading? Is there anything we think we might be disappointed in future?  Let us take some time to travel to the future and think. If you feel there is something you can rearrange now for a better future, let's take steps to change it. A small step now can mak

At some point in life, there comes a time where we believe that we will break for sure, be it family, health  , academic or work related issues. In every walks of life, we tend to give in to that pressure. If we budge to that pressure, the resultant effect may be irrecoverable. When I look back , there were multiple instances where I thought I would fail miserably. At times I had almost reached the rock bottom of breaking point, but was held back by some unknown force. To this day, I think of that force which helped me bounce back to life.  They were my Dreams.  Throughout my childhood, I had kept with me certain dreams , which motivated me even when I got deeply troubled.  The dreams that kept me afloat.  Dream big, but do break those big dreams into small fragmented ones , because at times we doubt ourselves and feel they are unachievable.  Lets set our dreams  as achievable. It gives us Hope  to  move on and reach our one ultimate Dream .  Dream to believe.Plan your

We often worry about the past and get anxious about future which leaves our present disturbed. We forget that each passed by moments were past and upcoming moments are future which we sadly crawl through  worrying.  Infact we Leave rather Live the moment. I look up at my  kids to see them own  each moment. They live through the present.  It is not that we should forget the past and not plan the future, but should draw a line where neither the past nor the future hinders our happiness for the present. Many a times I have heard people saying they were worried/anxious at that moment, as they forget what they performed or saw.  Imperfections are human nature. Learn from mistakes of the past and be prepared for the future. But Donot forget to,  LIVE THE MOMENT & OWN THE PRESENT LOVE, LAUGH, LIVE....

"And, when you want something, all the  universe conspires  in helping you to achieve it. ”— Paulo Coelho. A new weekend, a new thought.  I was thinking about how to achieve things that we wish for and the famous quote of Paulo Coelho crossed my mind. If you really want something, all the universe conspires in helping you achieve it.   The biggest motivation for non-thinkers and self realisation for thinkers. If you intensely wish for something and you desperately want it,  you look for every opportunity that can succeed you in reaching your goal. In other words, you seek for the path and that you are vigilant. There is a subconscious part of your mind which operates without your awareness and over which you don't have active control. That subconscious mind seeks for every minutest opportunity that helps you in achieving the goal that you wish for. The activity of your subconscious mind will be directly proportional to the intensity of your want. So it is actually not the uni

Aren't we all brought up with the idea of right and wrong? Have we ever made an introspection on the right and wrong we were taught?  What if all those rights were wrong and wrongs were right? Who decided something is right and something isn't? There are certain thoughts which gives us an idea about right and wrong. In some thoughts, if the outcome of an activity brings greater good for greater number, then it is right. In some, if the people are treated with dignity and respect, then it is right and in some other, practice what is good and follow the good virtues. In all these thoughts there is a minority who gets  adversely  affected. Assumptions are just made by generalizing the actions and its outcomes. If it is for greater good, the rest is ignored. The affected are neglected.  In fact, the right was wrong for the Neglected, the Dejected and the Downtrodden. So right is just a version of one's assumption, there always have another side. We can never decide the right pa

After a long life, when we are settled for once and all, we may have a moment to look back. When at such moment if you feel content and could bring a smile on your face, then I would say you are blessed.  We all love to relive the happiest moments in our life. But do we ever think ,whether those delighted moments of ours also brought cheers to our companion? No, we dont think like that. Human behaviour is as such. We tend to believe what is happy for us is also happy for others. There lies the greatest misinterpretation of life. The moments we wish to relive maybe the moments others wish to unlive.    Life is like a coin, it always has two sides. Your happiness may be sadness for others and their happiness your sadness. Always love the things you do and do the things you love. Do not hesitate to say sorry, as it may heal the other. Do not hang back to forgive, as it may heal yourself. Life is way too short to keep brewing your sorrows. Live the moment as it never will reoccur. Live and
