Packing Parachutes

Air Commodore Jaswant was a Jet Pilot. In a combat mission his fighter plane was destroyed by a missile. He however ejected himself and parachuted safely. He won acclaims and appreciations from many.

After five years one day he was sitting with his wife in a restaurant. A man from another table came to him and said "You're Captain Jaswant ! You flew jet fighters. You were shot down!"

"How in the world did you know that?" asked Jaswant.

"I packed your parachute," the man smiled and replied.

Jaswant gasped in surprise and gratitude and thought if parachute hadn't worked, I wouldn’t be here today.

 Jaswant couldn't sleep that night, thinking about that man. He wondered how many times I might have seen him and not even said 'Good morning, how are you?' or anything because, he was a fighter pilot and that person was just a safety worker"

So friends, who is packing your parachute?

Everyone has someone who provides what they need to make it through the day.

We need many kinds of parachutes: we need the physical parachute, the mental parachute, the emotional parachute, and the spiritual parachute.

We call on all these supports before reaching safety.

Sometimes in the daily challenges that life gives us, we miss what is really important.

We may fail to say hello, please, or thank you, congratulate someone on something wonderful that has happened to them, give a compliment, or just do something nice for no reason.

As you go through this week, this month, this year, recognize the people who pack your parachute.

 I just want to thank everyone who packed my parachute this year one way or the other- through your words, deeds, prayers etc!!

Don't want to take any of you for granted .

From the bottom of my heart with all my love .

Wishing you a pleasant and a memorable end to 2017 and an awesome beginning to 2018

"When you follow your dreams, you create a new world for yourself and bring others along for the ride. Your destiny awaits you; skip towards it."

 

"Life is short, break the rules. Forgive quickly, kiss slowly. Love truly. Laugh uncontrollably and never regret anything that makes you smile."

Mark Twain

 

"You don't need anyone's affection or approval in order to be good enough. When someone rejects or abandons or judges you, it isn't actually about you. It's about them and their own insecurities, limitations, and needs, and you don't have to internalize that. Your worth isn't contingent upon other people's acceptance of you — it's something inherent. You exist, and therefore, you matter. You're allowed to voice your thoughts and feelings. You're allowed to assert your needs and take up space. You're allowed to hold onto the truth that who you are is exactly enough. And you're allowed to remove anyone from your life who makes you feel otherwise."

Daniell Koepke

 

"You were born with potential. You were born with goodness and trust. You were born with ideals and dreams. You were born with greatness. Your were born with wings. You are not meant for crawling, so don't. You have wings. Learn to use them and fly."

Rumi

 

"Life will let you get away with something for a while, but sooner or later, you will pay the price. Everything you do in life causes the effects that you experience. When you get the bill, be prepared to pay."

Iyanla Vanzant

 

"Start where you are. Use what you have. Do what you can."

—Arthur Ashe

 

"I have come to accept the feeling of not knowing where I am going. And I have trained myself to love it. Because it is only when we are suspended in mid-air with no landing in sight, that we force our wings to unravel and alas begin our flight. And as we fly, we still may not know where we are going to. But the miracle is in the unfolding of the wings. You may not know where you're going, but you know that so long as you spread your wings, the winds will carry you."

— C. JoyBell C.

Sign of humility

"To respect people who are HIGHER than you, it`s ORDINARY.
To respect people who are LOWER than you,it`s EXTRA ordinary..........

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Time has no holiday..

Dreams have no expiry date..

And life has no pause button...!

Live it..  Love it..
Enjoy each and every moment of your life....!

Save only those memories which gives twinkle in your eyes...

Not wrinkles on your face...!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

You are your own enemy

and you don't know it.

You don't learn to sit quietly.

You don't learn to give time to God.

And you are impatient and expect to attain heaven all at once.

You cannot get it

by reading books

or by listening to sermons

or by doing charitable works.

You can get it only

by giving your time to Him in His Simran

for

Prabh Ka simran sabh tay oochaa.

 

Sat Sree Akal.

Feeling good

You want to have a good mood?

Make others feel good first.

Life is a boomerang.

 

Peace of mind

Peace of mind  is a beautiful gift

which only

we can give ourselves

Just by expecting nothing

even after doing everything.

    • yeh it's true, we shouldn't be lazy and need to learn jhatka shikaar. It doesn't help some of grew up in surrounding areas like Slough and Southall where everyone thought it was super bad for amrit dharis to eat meat, and they were following Sant babas and jathas, and instead the Singhs should have been normalising jhatka just like the recent world war soldiers did. We are trying to rectifiy this and khalsa should learn jhatka.  But I am just writing about bhog for those that are still learning rehit. As I explained, there are all these negative influences in the panth that talk against rehit, but this shouldn't deter us from taking khanda pahul, no matter what level of rehit we are!
    • How is it going to help? The link is of a Sikh hunter. Fine, but what good does that do the lazy Sikh who ate khulla maas in a restaurant? By the way, for the OP, yes, it's against rehit to eat khulla maas.
    • Yeah, Sikhs should do bhog of food they eat. But the point of bhog is to only do bhog of food which is fit to be presented to Maharaj. It's not maryada to do bhog of khulla maas and pretend it's OK to eat. It's not. Come on, bro, you should know better than to bring this Sakhi into it. Is this Sikh in the restaurant accompanied by Guru Gobind Singh ji? Is he fighting a dharam yudh? Or is he merely filling his belly with the nearest restaurant?  Please don't make a mockery of our puratan Singhs' sacrifices by comparing them to lazy Sikhs who eat khulla maas.
    • Seriously?? The Dhadi is trying to be cute. For those who didn't get it, he said: "Some say Maharaj killed bakras (goats). Some say he cut the heads of the Panj Piyaras. The truth is that they weren't goats. It was she-goats (ਬਕਰੀਆਂ). He jhatka'd she-goats. Not he-goats." Wow. This is possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard in relation to Sikhi.
    • Instead of a 9 inch or larger kirpan, take a smaller kirpan and put it (without gatra) inside your smaller turban and tie the turban tightly. This keeps a kirpan on your person without interfering with the massage or alarming the masseuse. I'm not talking about a trinket but rather an actual small kirpan that fits in a sheath (you'll have to search to find one). As for ahem, "problems", you could get a male masseuse. I don't know where you are, but in most places there are professional masseuses who actually know what they are doing and can really relieve your muscle pains.
