By the Sea Shore

The Tsunami might have swept through thousands of lives and lakhs of homes and millions of hearts but the sea never is quiet and never likes to be calm and rest. A place of fun, happiness, joy and peace turned to be a violent terror.
But as I was in the sea shore I saw the energy and enthusiasm of many. Memories are short lived. But I like the way people reframe it. Wow it all lost forgotten. I love the people.
Its always amazing to sit through the beach and enjoy the breeze and the cool wind bustling. As I see the young little ones flying their kites and playing with their balloons and the older ones (by age) resting and having a nice smiling talk, give more energy and nice calmness in the mind.
The sand adds beauty to the shore wet and dry, making nice sand dunes and the kids building their small hills making the rat holes and shaking their hands. That’s cute right we were also doing that as kids. The real old smart grandpas and grandmas having a stroll giving them more strength.
Isn’t this happiness, joy and fun just a state of mind. I always used to wonder do I need to go to the beach and have fun and have some peace and calmness. I still go there for the same. But I did manage to remember that it is just a STATE of MIND. Like Dr. Richard Bandler (Founder of NLP, my Guru) always says “You don’t need to a reason to be Happy”, we truly don’t need to be there at the Beach to remember and tell ourselves to be happy, calm and peaceful.
STATE of MIND!! How important is it to control the same. Each time I go to the beach I do remember one of the most startling and shocking things that happened on Dec 26th 2004, when I lost my cousin. But I don’t make that affect me anymore. I do feel for her for a minute. Its about “What and How we FOCUS on Things”
Changing the Internal Representation really makes the impact on me and I do it everyday. Now do I need a reason to be happy or motivated. People ask me how do I get on stage and just be in the state of fun, totally motivated and confident. Don’t I have any challenges ?? (I don’t see them as a P-R-O-B-L-E-M-S). I just decide to focus on what I want and just go by it. Amazing ain’t.
Who was with me at the BEACH? Now that’s being naughty… Read more and see more of this blog. I might probably share that as well!!

Hi Praveen,
Life has to carry on and as you say we have to look at the positive side of things and navigate and manage the hurdles. Hurdles as we all know is a part and parcel of life.
The serenity of the sea most of the time combined with the wicked high waves when the sea gets rough is going to be there.
I am sure all of would agree that be there ... be a part of the scene and happenings, grab the oppurtunites that comes across and be focussed on the goals.
But the mystry or is it miss..try is to find who was there with you on the beach as those wonderful things went on in your mind.....
