This too shall pass!

As we see the outstanding victory of AAP in Delhi today, its surely an eye opener for a lot of people. I really hope this victory really brings new perspectives and changes to Delhi, and serves as a Reality Check for the central government.

It reminded me of a story that had a long lasting impact on me, and had helped me in my life a lot
I would recommend everyone to read the story, if you have not already

The crux of the story is this:

Think Of The Moments Of Joy And Victory In Your Life. Think Of The Moment Of Sorrow And Defeat. Are They Permanent ? They All Come And Pass Away. You Are Just A Witness Of Change. Experience It, Understand It, And Enjoy The Present Moment.

The message keeps us grounded when we get a success in life, hope Kejriwal gets it. And it also boosts the morale when we lose, giving a hope to fight back and be better, hope Modi gets it :)


Thinking of me, I have actually used the message when I am bogged down by work, hear unpleasant comments, am too stressed out, kids' exams begin to assure myself that this time will pass, and I can make attempts to improve, be better.

And I have used it when everything is going great, happy, successful to remind me to still do my best and not be complacent. To live every moment to the fullest, as "This too shall pass" :)

  1. I agree. Failure is not a person but an event. It passes. Same way success is an event and to sustain/repeat it, we have to plan and work towards it.
