Lesson In Heart


Recommended Posts

A lesson in "heart" is about a little 10-year-old girl, who was born with a muscle missing in her foot and wears a brace all the time. She came home one beautiful spring day to tell her mother she had competed in "field day" - that's where they have lots of races and other competitive events.

Because of her leg support, her mothers' mind raced as she tried to think of encouragement for her daughter, things she could say to her about not letting this get her down – but before she could get a word out, she said,“Daddy, I won two of the races! I had an advantage.”

Ah. She must have been given a head start her mother thought…some kind of physical advantage. But again, before her mother could say anything, she said,

“Daddy, I didn’t get a head start…My advantage was I had to try harder!”

It's amazing how our perspective can really change the way we see things. Remember, never give up! We only break down when we think we are alone. Truth is the Waheguru is always with us so why fear? Tackle each problem with a smile and see how that task becomes easy!

This is probably my last post for a while. I promise I will be back. It's been amazing here...I've learnt a lot from all of you! So much pyaar and gyaan...I don't have enough words to thank you all, especially PJS veerji and I Humbly Bow bhenji. Keep smiling, never lose faith and stay in Chardi Kala! Please do ardas for this moorakh that I don't fall weak aur jis karaj layi mai jaa rahi haan oh poora hove. Bye! smile.gif

Just a few more words from me before I go. Something for all of us to think about: -

  1. Dear God: I have a problem. Sometimes, it’s me.
  2. Growing old is inevitable, growing up is optional.
  3. There is no key to happiness. The door is always open.
  4. Do the maths. Count your blessings.
  5. Faith is the ability to not panic.
  6. Laugh every day, it’s like inner jogging.
  7. If we worry, we probably didn’t pray. If we pray, we probably don’t worry.
  8. As a child of God, prayer is kind of like calling home every day.
  9. The most important things in our homes are the people.
  10. When we get tangled up in our problems, be still. God wants us to be still so He can untangle the knots for us.
  11. A grudge is a heavy thing to carry.
  12. We do not remember days, but moments. Life moves too fast, so enjoy your precious moments.
  13. Nothing is real to you until we experience it, otherwise it’s just hearsay.
  14. Surviving and living our life successfully requires courage. The goals and dreams we seek require courage and risk-taking. Learn from the turtle — it only makes progress when it sticks out its neck.
  15. Be more concerned with your character than your reputation, because your character is what you really are, while your reputation is merely what others think you are.

    • back then was waaaay different. ppl didn’t attend higher education or have much to do after the age of like… 13, lol. you’d have 13 year olds boys and girls that know how to do kethi, cook entire meals, etc    nowadays even 22 year olds are extremely immature and can be sheltered. the average person doesn’t know how to do anything except their 9-5 which they are probably half arsing as well.    
    • i live close by and yea all the gurudwarehs around these parts are run down it’s sad
    • what’s a rajput jatt sikh  you’re either jatt or you’re not jatt
    • If relationship with Guru is strong, then kanga is done twice a day, and turban should never be taken off or put on like a hat, there is a lot wrong with that as it is against rehit! maryada is to take off every layer of turban/pagh/dumalla individually, and tie fresh turban each time!
    • the whole 'your husband/wife is chosen for you'/sanjog thing is real, it's just that a lot of people end up marrying the wrong person. they did not end up with the person that was meant for them. my friend, you should marry someone who you feel a connection with and love. there are millions of sikh girls, i'm sure you can find someone who aligns with your sensibilities and who you can truthfully say that you love. sikhi does not say anything against love marriages. you can also be in a loveless arranged marriage which is a safe option b/c both families are more inclined to keep the union intact. i was one of those people who was like meh, i guess i'll just get arranged to some sikh. well i finally started dating for the first time this year and i'm getting married to someone that i love and cannot even imagine leaving. i think it's better to have lost & lost than never loved at all. unfortunately, a lot of people confuse love w/ looks & lust. a lot of men go for the fittest girl they can find and think they won the jackpot or something. in reality, your partner should be like an extremely loved best friend. there's a reason why it's a fact that the most stable and long-lasting relationships started as friendships.  i also think a lot of women are petty and divorce over small reasons, but there's other terrible things like high cheating rates as well. that's why the divorce rate in the west is high. be careful out there.
