God : Hello. You called me.
I, Me, Myself : Called you? No, who is this?
God : This is God. I heard your prayers. So I thought I will
chat with you.
IMM : Sure, I pray. Just makes me feel good. Actually,
am busy now In the midst of something, you know.
God : What are you busy with? Ants are busy, too.
IMM : Don't know. But I can't find free time. Life has
become hectic. It's rush hour all the time.
God : Sure. Activity gets you busy. But productivity gets
you results. Activity consumes time. Productivity
frees it.
IMM : But I still can't figure it out. By the way, I was not
expecting YOU to buzz me on instant messaging
chat.
God : Well, I wanted to help you resolve your fight for
time by giving you some clarity. I wanted to reach
you through the medium you are comfortable with.
IMM : Tell me, why has life become so complicated?
God : Stop analysing life. Just live it. Analysis is what
makes it complicated.
IMM : Why are we then constantly unhappy?
God : Your today is the tomorrow that you worried about
yesterday. You are worrying because the act of
worrying has become a habit. That's why you are
not happy.
IMM : But how can we not worry when there is so much
uncertainty?
God : Uncertainty is inevitable, but worrying is optional.
IMM : But then, there is so much pain due to uncertainty.
God : Pain is inevitable, but suffering is optional.
IMM : If suffering is optional, why do good people always
suffer?
God : Diamonds cannot be polished without friction.
Gold cannot be purified without fire. Good people
go through trials. With that experience their life
becomes better, not bitter.
IMM : You mean to say such experience is useful?
God : Yes. Experience is a hard teacher, though. She
gives the test first and the lessons afterwards.
IMM : But still, why should we go through such tests?
Why can't we be free from problems?
God: Problems are Purposeful Roadblocks Offering
Beneficial Lessons to Enhance Mental Strength.
Inner strength comes from struggle and endurance,
not when you are free from problems.
IMM : Frankly in the midst of so many problems, we don't
know where we are heading.
God : If you look outside you will not know where you are
heading. Look inside. Looking outside, you dream.
Looking inside, you awaken. Eyes provide sight.
Heart provides insight.
I Me Myself : Sometimes I ask, who am I, why am I here?
I don't know the answers.
God : Seek not to find who you are, but to determine who
you want to be.
IMM : Sometimes not succeeding fast seems to hurt
more than moving in the right direction.
God : Success is relative, quantified by others.
Satisfaction is absolute, quantified by you.
Knowing the road ahead is more satisfying than
knowing you rode ahead.
IMM : Sometimes I ask, who am I, why am I here? I don't
know the answers.
God : Seek not to find who you are, but to determine who
you want to be. Stop looking for a purpose as to
why you are here. Create it. Life is not a process of
discovery but a process of creation.
IMM : How can I get the best out of life?
God: Face your past without regret. Handle your present
with confidence. Prepare for the future without fear.
IMM : Sometimes my prayers are not answered.
God : There are no unanswered prayers. At times the
answer is NO.
IMM: Thank you for this wonderful chat. I'll try to be less
fearful.
God : Keep the faith and drop the fear. Life is a mystery
to solve, not a problem to resolve. Life is wonderful
if you know how to live.
