Every day we learn something or the other. If we observe, we identify the lessons taught. If not, may it will present itself on another occasion. But the forces guiding life on planet earth sure know their job-they are determined to bring you into being, teach you, make you graduate after multiple tests. No matter what the road blocks seem to apparently be, you will reach the goal. All you need to do is observe.
Here is what happened today and what I learnt today. I had to get up early morning 3 AM to take a flight out to
After my shower, as I was getting ready something strange happened. Origin of what happened and what I uttered is not known. I just said to myself loud,” Its going to be an awesome day, its going to be worth it and its going to be GOOD”. From that moment, I felt really good.
I had booked for a ‘Call Taxi’ to take me to the airport and it was fixed for 4.15 AM(I had to get to report at the airport at 4.45 AM). The taxi never turned up at 4.15 and so my wife called the taxi office and they said it will be there very soon.
Long story short, it was 4.30 AM (yeah, I fast forwarded the story by 15 mins) and even after repeated calls, the taxi was not to be seen. I was walking down the middle of the road and wondering where the taxi was. There usually are auto rickshaws in the stand but since it was early morning, no one was there. I got worried for a second, but immediately remembered what I had said to myself (its going to be GOOD) and hence thought it wouldn’t be a good thought track to follow.
No later than 10 seconds of my resolution to keep to the motto for the day, an auto rickshaw (who usually occupies the place at the corner of the street) turned up. I just hopped on to the vehicle and off we went. As we were driving, I told the driver that I was fortunate he came or else I would have been in an uncomfortable situation. He said, “Sir, I always come only around 5.30 AM, not sure why I came one hour early”. Lesson learnt! if you want to stay positive and feel good starting the day, you will. The unforeseen angels will come together to help you in this process throughout the day. The auto rickshaw driver in my case was the angel.
All throughout the day, it went really well although I was going through the day on just 3.5 hrs of sleep.
Believe me, if you reaffirm to your self on Good Intentions, Small or Big, those intentions will MANIFEST. I had my good intention manifest right in front of my eyes, even though it might be small, but that is a start.
No matter what your intentions are,
If they are for the good of people,
If they are for the good of your friends,
If they are for the good of the society
Or for you…
If they are Good Intentions, they WILL Manifest.

Thanks for the feel good post.
Sometimes we look into the future and kinda get disappointed that the ideal intention within our head won’t get manifested — we think it is impossible for such a thing to happen — and so we stop dreaming.
What you are saying, seems to me like, don’t worry about if or when it’ll happen, just hold the good intention in your mind…that itself will bring about some good — even if it is the just feeling of happiness within yourself.

Xactly…we do what we can at the moment. Life will then become the sum total of such intentions.
