Happy Valentine’s Day!
This Valentine’s, please remember to look in the mirror and say to your beautiful selves,
‘Happy Valentines to me!
Thanks to this body for making this life experience possible.’
Isn’t it amazing
To have eyes to see
To have ears to hear
To have buds to taste
To have a sense of smell
To have skin to feel
To have hands to work
To have legs to walk
To have the heart to pump
To have a kidney to cleanse
To have a stomach to digest
To have a liver, a pancreas, a spleen
To have a brain to think
To have so many enormous phenomena
To make every single second of life possible
Thank God for this mundane body
Which made this eternal life possible
Which let it live what it came for
And feel what it desired
And experience all that it needed.
Ultimately what stays from the beginning to the end?
It is our own body, whether or not it has all organs, it’s our own body that stays with us from the beginning till the end of this one particular chapter of eternal life.
We lose a lot of loved ones, or not so loved ones. Every loss brings a big lesson and it makes us realize that the best companion is our own body which will not leave until life itself leaves it.
We must be thankful to our own body as it is the best attire that we always wear and without which nothing is possible in this life.
It is this body that gave us everything in this life and we need to give it back by looking in the mirror and telling it,
‘ You are awesome, my body!
Thank you for all the experiences, learnings, and evolution that this soul has achieved through you.
You even allow me to give to the people who I love, a piece of happiness while they are with me.
I don’t need anyone but you to feel complete and feel happy. “
People who love us have similar tendencies as us.
People who don’t love us have different tendencies from us.
It’s as simple as this.
We need to find our color and gel with it. But once one of the colors fades, we should remember to keep our color, try to give the color but not fade away ourselves.
We are complete in ourselves.
We have everything to experience in life.
It is very well said by someone:
What doesn’t kill you, makes you stronger!
All experiences in life are important and if we have survived those, it is for a reason and that reason is to come out stronger and level up to the next challenge.
Stay strong and live your life to the fullest.
We may want to spend time with our loved ones but we don’t need anyone to experience and lead life successfully as long as we become wiser at every step!
Love is not in a person, love is in the air. Feel it, embrace it, and cherish it!
Live, love, and laugh!
Happy Valentines Day to all!
