Serendipity- A fateful Coincidence

-

13th July 2011 was just another day. I got a little late in the morning ,so could not find my normal shoes. .I wore my old shoes to office
It was raining cats an dogs and Mumbai roads were full of puddles.The old shoes were completely tattered and on the verge of breaking.And yes some time after I reached office my shoes broke, thanks to my colleague who made me walk till the cafeteria as he was hungry as well as crunched for time.So now ,my shoes broke badly.I tried mending them..not once not twice but thrice.But nothing helped.I was limping the whole day because of broken shoes.I was not sure why I wore those today.I blamed my foolishness for this and suffered discomfort embarrassment in office for the whole day

I left from office around 6.20 in the evening.I took the office vehicle drop till dadar station from lower parel as everyday leisurely talking to a friend of mine .Normally I take a bus from Dadar or walk down from Dadar market buying stuff on the way home.I had to pick up a few things on the way yesterday too.But yes the broken shoe again made me incapable of walking forget home, even till the bus stop.So around 6.35 I took a taxi from dadar station back home

I went home changed into more comfortable shoes and stepped out to buy the stuff I wanted at a shop next to my place .As soon as I reached the shop I heard this piece of horrible news saying blasts in dadar.

I got goosebumps as I heard this.

Yes the blast spot is on my way home from Dadar to Mahim.The bus stop is near by and the market is closer.What if I had walked down? What if I had waited for the bus?What if my shoe hadn’t broken?
I realized that God always has better plans for us.He loves us,protects us and makes sure we are safe.We keep crying cribbing over minor things like not getting bus,train,taxi,auto.We cry about shoes breaking,clothes getting spoilt.We cry about reaching late to office,reaching home late,not earning enough.But when we realize how lucky we are to get God’s grace ,all these things seem minor

So don’t cry,don’t crib..Trust God..have faith and your faith never goes unanswered

  Creating a new reality and changing the results we experience in life begins with a deep transformation within ourselves. The process is interconnected, starting with our emotions and ultimately shaping our external reality. Here’s a breakdown of this transformative journey: 1. Heal Yourself from Past Emotions :The foundation of changing your reality lies in healing past emotional wounds. Sadness, grief, pain, and suffering from past experiences can hold us back. Unresolved emotions often lead to negative thought patterns and behaviors. Why It Matters: Healing past emotions allows you to release emotional baggage, fostering a healthier mindset. How to Heal: Practices like therapy, journaling, mindfulness, and energy healing (such as Reiki) can facilitate emotional healing. 2. Change Your Emotions Emotions are the driving force behind our thoughts. By healing past emotional wounds, you create space for positive emotions to flourish, which in turn influences your thoughts.

Closing Cycles: by Paulo Coelho

Closing Cycles: by Paulo Coelho One always has to know when a stage comes to an end. If we insist on staying longer than the necessary time, we lose the happiness and the meaning of the other stages we have to go through. Closing cycles, shutting doors, ending chapters – whatever name we give it, what matters is to leave (in the past) the moments of life that have finished. You can spend a long time wondering why this has happened. Things pass, and the best we can do is to let them really go away. That is why it is so important (however painful it may be!) to destroy souvenirs, move, give lots of things away to orphanages, sell or donate the books you have at home. Everything in this visible world is a manifestation of the invisible world, of what is going on in our hearts – and getting rid of certain memories also means making some room for other memories to take their place. Let things go. Release them. Detach yourself from them. Stop turning on your Emotional ...

In the hustle and bustle of life, it's easy to lose ourselves in the art of people-pleasing, seeking validation and approval from those around us. Almost a decade ago, I found myself resonating with characters like Carrie Bradshaw from 'Sex and the City,' a show that once held a special place in my heart. However, as the years passed, I discovered a shift within me. I no longer found solace in the world of designer shoes and cosmopolitans; I realized I had outgrown the narrative of people pleasing and codependency that the series subtly glorified. Drawing inspiration from influential thought leaders, such as Dr. Wayne Dyer, Tony Robbins, Gabby Bernstein, Oprah, and Vishen Lakhiani, I embarked on a journey to break free from the chains of codependency Here are 7 things I stopped doing as a former people pleaser: 1. Seeking External Validation: Carrie's relentless pursuit of external validation struck a chord with my former self. Today, I no longer seek approval to defin...
