LET’S ANALYSE:
Why is our existence so complex?
“Roses cannot grow without thorns”
“Fishes can’t thrive without water”
Likewise, the waves in a sea always wax and wane, Storms are normally preceded by windfalls, Similarly, every morning has to have a nightfall, and No sunshine can be expected without shadow!!
In the same context, all feels of happiness are based on harsh yet bitter truths.,
Storms and thunder are very often followed by Radiant rainbows; Yet, there are so many twists and turns!!!
Now if we compare with Human life-
Life is full of inexplicable joy n beauty, …. but it also holds extremely difficult and emotionally draining things like grief, loss ,rage, unfairness; inequality, hate, and regret and dejection and may be depression!!.
These may co-exist with- Sadness, misery and so many more instances, such that feelings at times grow rampant in our life, and keep erupting like stubborn weeds in a field, that make life into pure HELL!!!
Many a times we find ourselves ill equipped to handle situations; In doing so, we touch our personal weaknesses, and all these incidents hit us harder!!
Despite our best efforts, we are continually vulnerable to the unpleasant hits that life subjects us to.
On many an occasion we feel it as an impossible feat that we are faced with.
The hardest time in your life could be, or we can say it could be one of the following below precipitating factors–
Discrimination
Failing health
Ending of a relationship
Poverty
Loss of friends / family member
Loneliness
Lack of access to resources /support.
Life has both pleasure and pain-, beauty and adversity but the cardinal realization is that, we need to understand that sorrow and suffering also goes hand in hand with life.
When one is down in the dumps, bordering on episodes of anxiety with dips into bouts of depression, — Sometimes the only way it can get better is by continuing to move forward. This is the realization that one must give deliberate thought to.
The brain is the most complicated object in this universe.
It contains more than 89 billion neurons, each connected to around 7000 other neurons that send between 10 and 100 signals every second.
Life is 10% what happens to you, and 90% how you react” by Charles. R. Swindoll( A Christian pastor, author, educator and radio preacher.(He is currently the Founding pastor at STONE BRIAR COMMUNITY CHURCH, in Frisco, Texas!!)
Basing your happiness on other’s happiness
Your life will always be complicated and difficult if
you hinge your happiness on other people in your life.
Your happiness does not come from others.
It actually comes from you yourself – from within you.
If you rely on another person’s happiness to live life, over time complications of life will overwhelm you and you will lose your sense of self. You will find that you will be trying to constantly please others and trying to keep them happy—This is exhausting and detrimental to your own well-being.
You will need a lot of self-coaching and Self Belief. The more courageous and confident you will be, the more you will be able to step up and eliminate negative drama from your life. Once you have done this, your life will become less complicated and so much more easier for you to navigate through life’s challenges
Final Thoughts:
If you accept life in all its fullness and ambiguity, Life is not complicated.
It only gets complicated if you do not accept it—Martin Rubin (Author of BOILED FROG SYNDROME)
You will always have challenges in your life. The more you complicate them, life will become more n more difficult. The more you focus on quieting the voices in your mind, keeping calm, listen to your own breathing—the less complicated your own life will become.
Life is tough as hell. It will wear you down until u are on your knees and keep you there unless you yourself are ready to do something about it.
By approaching life with a complicated attitude will only give more complicated stuff to deal with.
We really love making our lives complicated!!!
We all agree that life is not a walk in the park with lots of sunshine and bloom. It can be much adverse a scenario.
But our attitude that we have towards life will really reflect on how our lives will become.

This topic that I have chosen to write is a real difficult one.
Look Right and Left, Look Above and below, look into your PAST, See and analyze your own present, or try and see into your own FUTURE.
Do you see solace?
Do you see peace??
Do you see calm/ serenity or satisfaction?
Words/ adjectives all will fail, if we try and look or try to analyze our situation!!!
In my nearly 70 years of Life, I too have seen a lot of upheavals in life. -I too have been in the dumps
I too have seen a lot of sufferings–
Yes, peace, calmness, tranquility, ecstasy, thrill, happiness and so many more, are words out of the dictionary that we need to space out and fill in the blanks.
But don’t you think, its basically the THOUGHTS, THE EMOTIONS, THE EGO THAT ARE THE ROOT CAUSE OF ALL THESE COMPLEXITIES
DEAR FRIENDS:
Personally, I have come to the conclusion that it is EGO/ EMOTIONS and our thoughts and how we handle our own thoughts that will help us gauge the level of COMPLEXITY we are face with, and we ourselves only, will have to devise methods of how we need to extricate ourselves from such circumstances
So now’s starting a series on complexities of life.
To begin with, we will try and analyze our EMOTIONS AND HOW THEY WILL FORM THE BASIS OF OUR EGO!!
REQUESTING YOU TO STAY TUNED IN……
