I came across few beautiful lines in the book ' The World's Greatest Comeback' by 'Robert A Schuller' . The lines aptly mentioned the difference between hope and faith.All people seem to believe that faith and hope are identical. But, for me they are not. With hope there is doubt. Things might work out, or they might not. You just 'hope' the events turn in your way. You await a decision with finger's crossed. Hope is passive. With faith, however, there is an assurance. You take actions based on what you know is definitely gonna happen,as and when you visualize it happening.
Another concept in the book was about luck, actually its was a written proof which only validated my own thoughts. When something unexpected happens , we say to ourselves 'Man I was lucky!'.But were you really lucky? Out of all the infinite possibilities of events in our life, was that particular event the most certain
outcome? Was meeting to your friend in the middle of the street which made your day, or a train/bus getting late the same day you are late, or even the incident when you just arrive at your destination and rain or snow starts falling? Was it really luck?Or you reaching this particular article of several billion articles on internet a luck? Is it luck or just our ignorance, to notice the miracles that happen to us everyday. If it were just " to feel lucky" , why on earth miracles would be necessary!
I believe our life is hand carved by no other than god himself.Well I see it as a divine intervention and a way God wanted to redesign you. Of course, believing is luck is not wrong. This talk actually is not a talk for what is wrong or right. It is about what is better. Luck probably also ends short of this divine intervention concept/truth. Luck may give us arrogance and ignorance. Believing that our life is all carved of small events which are every moment of divine intervention of our life then we feels special about ourselves.We have a sense of gratitude, maybe it will add humility to us. Also the latter belief makes us believe life to be set of opportunities not just few event where we seem to get 'lucky' and where we 'hope' for the best.
While thinking of the infinitesimal probability of the events in our life, is our life a bunch of coincidences or surreal set of facts and fantasies? A thing which we hold a bit part in creating and destroying. Its all unto us , the way we look at the world.Who knows a day of bad happening may leave a stronger, better and positive impact in your life. Every thing can be seen positively, even luck and hope. But most of us are not much
evolved and wise enough to learn from success, even when we have a choice. We all are disciples of nature's pain for success program as are all other animals. Maybe life is all about getting away from our animal instincts of competition, laziness, anger ,fighting for security etc.. Maybe that is the actual evolution process.
Well, all have different goggles of prejudices, lies , truths , traditions and culture on our eyes which makes understanding things as they are difficult. These were from my goggles. Your thought maybe different. Faith made many lives beautiful and gratitude quadrupled the happiness. Try it for your self/ See of it works for you. A survey conducted showed that forgiveness was the best thing to do to get happy and second was gratitude. If first may seem a bit difficult but second is definitely easier. But remember, Don't get caught up in right or wrong. Live for what is better. Life is and always will be beautiful.Live It!!
