Rearview vs windshield mirror
Rearview vs windshield mirror: our main focus should be on the windshield mirror of life I.e. The future of our life, but we do need to see what we crossed or passed us through the rearview mirror; remember the size of the windshield is bigger than a rearview mirror; future is bigger& brighter than the past!

what is our purpose?
2 important days in life, 1. The day we are born 2. The day we realize/ figure out why? What is our purpose God has? We are searching for purpose within us but we failed to know that we need to find the purpose from our creator!
When we buy the machine, we listen to the inventor or read from his manual not that we try to learn on our own!
Look up to God to know, what is our purpose?

Love & Hate
One cannot love(from the heart)and hate(in mind) at the same time; it creates complexity in life;
Be truthful in small things, care wholeheartedly.
Many times we want to hide from others; to hide, we start acting ๐ญ ; after a certain period, our future has only a fake past; “Be truthful in small things, care wholeheartedly. “
Temptation stops you!
The temptation of quitting that God wants us to pursue is because we don’t realize its significant
Don't feel happy if you receive everything from God
we get everything when we ask god, doesn’t mean that God gives wholeheartedly; we never realize our ask to god is right or wrong until we go through it; That’s why, when you didn’t get what you pray, remember it's not God's plan for you! Better one he has, which is yet to come!
Kill the word "I"
The maximum growth one can achieve until he says,
“I” did it,
With “My” power,

Samson: God has a plan for him even before he is born, how he is going to live in this world; But he was also trapped into a problem, due which he lost his both eyes! When he realized his mistake and turns back to God he killed double the portion of people!

In life, if we know, Why it happen? For what reason happens? It helps us to prepare ourselves better when we face that; the thumb rule, focus on understanding before reacting!
Mistakes
As a human, we make mistakes; when we repent and safeguard ourselves from doing it again, God protects us; but when we fail to realize our mistakes and think it's all private to us alone, one day when it becomes public, it's hard to face it; Be vigilant in life!
Emotional intelligence
What happens is 10% but how we react to it is 90%; how do we control our reactions; Self-awareness-self regulation - self-motivation - social awareness - social skills; always our emotion should be aligned to our values.
Let start looking at our own shoes!
In our life, we started looking at what others getting in their life and feel jealous; we fail to think about what we have in life and be happy; our thought is what others have is always precious, but failed to realize what we have is better than others;
Dark part of Life
Are we confused or down about our life's dark part? Remember, it is the starting point for the good part; the problem with us is we failed to realize the shadow of good developing in our lives when God's light comes in us during darkness! ⛔ Stop worrying about the past dark part and keep moving forward to taste/ see good part in life;
Fear
What kind of fear is ours? Is it stopping you from going forward in life, or it makes you deliver better? Don't let fear stop you!

Advise what you learnt!
We are all good at advising others; have we ever thought, do we follow what we advise? The best part of life is always to advise what you practiced in your own life; if we fail, it makes even a wise man, wicked!
Arrogance in our heart!
Arrogance in our heart is more dangerous than it expressed; guard our heart with goodness;

Stop borrowing confidence from friends and relatives; when we start borrowing it, we can never stop,
1. We always need someone to boost our confidence
2. If it comes from the wrong places, then it leads to destruction; develop self-confidence;
Parenting
As a parent are we sharing the struggle we go through in life for next day food/ job/etc to children?. if not, what do we do is wrong? We have to teach the values and struggles along with discipline which will be remembered for their life.

He is called “father” who only worries inside about you and laughs outside to cheer you! Happy Father’s Day!
If it is away, Keep them away!
If God delivers and keeps you away from the things that hurt you! don’t allow your temptation and thoughts to drag you to it again! Let our focus be on the future that God has for us, not on the past!
Listen to Advice
We fail to listen to what others say, but we are quick enough to give them a lesson on what to do! If we are not ready to listen, our lessons become useless;
What is yours is yours!
If we understand what God has given to you, it is for you! We won’t get jealous, insecure, bitter, or take revenge!
Who is your strength?
If the source of our strength is who we sitting next to? Then we going to live very disappointing life;
Believe in You!
Do you believe in yourself?
Do you respect yourself?
How Do you feel about yourself?
The bottom line is what you believe about yourself is much more important than what anyone else believes about you!
Frustration
Don’t allow your frustration to be the end of your goals; It comes in the middle of an action;
Don’t allow your frustration to shatter your future plan or discourage you! Sometimes good to pause in life;
Perfection
Don't wait for everything to be “perfect”;
first, we need to accept, there is nothing perfect in this world;
second, we will never enjoy even a minute if we wait for perfection;
Third, in search of perfection, we miss the blessings that God has for us at this moment;
Don’t postpone your appreciation!
Don’t postpone your appreciation/ advice/ wishes! If you think it is the right time to do it, go ahead! we never know what will happen tomorrow!
Good fruit!
if we listen or see good, we deliver back good; If we listen evil/bad, we deliver back evil; we just reap what we sow! 1 spoiled fruit spoils the entire fruit basket; 1 small evil thought will destroy the entire life.
Oneness
We cannot achieve something significant in life, if there is no oneness within people, in the end, that family or team fails miserably. When there is more than 1 person involved we need unity, oneness in thought!
Don't Quit!
We all have different people around us; one will put you in a difficult time, one will help you during difficult times, and the other will leave you during difficult times! If you trip, you can never move on in life! YoU should never quit on yourself! one day, people who left will realize your value!
Success is close to the broken hearts!
We are living in a time period that believes only if we are happy we can move forward in life to be successful! But we need to accept, Success is more close to the people who are broken, failed, going through miseries compare to happy people! Keep moving, God will direct you to the rest!
Butterflies!
We all love butterflies but we don’t realize the caterpillar ๐ moment that it went through to become a beautiful butterfly! If you have to grow and shine, you have to cross the struggle and pain!
Relationship
Sometimes in life, one stays until another person hates, or until he gets an alternate; But when he loves wholeheartedly, that relationships stay longer and stronger! That relationship is precious, be cautious to protect that love and loved one!
What we carry doesn’t matter to retain a relationship but how do we feel matters a lot
Make others Smile!
There is no reward in this world for the talent you have that makes one ๐ smile; try it, when you see that smile you will forget your pain!
The extraordinary talent God can give one is to make others smile; ( without hurting the feeling) if you are the one, don't stop it; If you are not, try it!
Suffering
Suffering is not the end, it’s the starting point of blessing which helps to attain gratification; we need to learn the art to handle suffering;
Assumption
One wrong assumption can break, good relationship; check on reality, talk to people, before judging them!
Burden in life
The biggest burden in life is other's hope/trust in us! Give hope only if it is not disturbing your character and day-to-day life!
Weakness
If we know our weakness; and keep ourselves away from it, no one can stop our success! Remember It's we need to go far apart from weakness, not the other way around!
Everyone is not perfect! We all have a weakness. But if we need to shine, we need to find the talent we have in us, but that’s not your real victory! When you shine with your talent, people start attacking/pulling you down, pointing your weakness; how well you handle that is your victory! Be wise and use your wisdom!
Life is not about the positive side, it’s all about how you handle the negative side!
When we only focus more on our weakness and others strength it leads to jealousy; instead spend more time in improving our weakness to strength;
