HOME IS NO WHERE
Volumes of variety have i met till now , likewise people in different mobs teach me a lot about human cynicism but where work is not worship you are already without an address.
One may classify differnt feelings attached to his own home, i probably do it in terms of may be one or all of these-satisfaction, love, purity , honesty, assets , thanksgiving, awareness and above all rests peace (at least for me peace will do as of everytime).I have lost myself for describing any of them because i get a feeling that home is nowhere.It pertains not to physically the home but the place itself .Then why should the feeling be , fact of the matter is why don't you accept every place lovingly.
What you think inside is perceived by your senses and your actions correspond your perception.After all beauty lies in the eyes of beholder , here this will show your imagination.If i crave for things to appear smaller a deal rather than a big deal, i would definitely miss out on the good and the best parts.So its better to dream alike your imagination even when you know that you are doing too little to achieve it.
A dream to call somewhere a home that you may boast to yourself as your big asset, put it this way "It is one of the most precious thing as a human you've ever cherished".
I am a lot of times haunted by this feeling many a times that a place so beautiful beholds my eyes., millions of stars in a single gazelike diamonds in the night ,pitch dark. A night so dark with river flowing past my house making shy little sound of the touch.In the sound of the cold breeze where no other sound but the one by birds feeding their tiny ones in nests resting in tall trees.
Home is not just the bricks and walls but with people who make it worthwhile.
All such people who you believe have been there since like ages are to be found missing a lot of times when you are reminded of them. But unlike humans who are never to stay forever only the memoirs of their homes and the place they have been remain alive forever. Places remain humans don't, so Home is again no where for humans.
The lasting impressions that we leave on the place and people are what constitute the bricks, the walls being the insight memory of the times spent, the windows being the big hits that you often cherish and the doors are the gateway you seem to imagine of ever going to a place called HOME.

Appreciating what you are-----the most difficult job.......
We strive to appreciate the essence of our life, whatever we are going through at the moment. Learning appreciation is difficult, because our society always teaches us about good and bad. If we have the things we want we are happy, if we don't have them, we begrudge our lives. We are more biased by what happens around us , not what we do to make things happen because somewhere we have lost our faith in making things happen. to add we have too much attachment to materialistic things .
Where did this come from? When we were a child we had a little or no view of people and things, by just adding one thought from here and one from there we use to conclude whatever we wanted to. That made a little meaning to our actions which went unnoticed by us but we did appreciate our childhood since then.
As we groom our young minds we start hearing alot from here and there, more people more we think,more we tend to understand and our stubborn nature wants to take control of our lives. We would listen to all but do as we desire.
As we start to grow old people start taking control of us and we get angry. We actually forget to harmonize with our true nature. We get swayed by opinions and thoughts of the ones around us.
In turn what happens is that we get deeply involved with what we observe, our mistaken identities take control of our true identity and that becomes our reality in true sense. We want to believe our mistaken identity and not our true selves.
Appreciation does not refer to things outside ourselves. Appreciate your own life first. We must learn to appreciate during our failure. Appreciate when we try and try again and still fail, appreciate when we embarrass yourself. Appreciate even if the world starts hating us. Because who else but you can only know your habits, your good jobs , your appreciable actions , your feelings for someone(good or bad), your respect for people and things , your dreams, your happiness and of course your distress. Every time you do something you act upon your what your brain tells you to or rather the righteous thing to do.
You are the greatest thing in the whole universe. If you believe there is nothing you cannot do with your life, then there is nothing you cannot do. To believe that you can do anything is to bring your life into harmony with your real essence that is by appreciating it. Humans are invariably capable of anything, but we do not trust ourselves and let our trust loose on ourselves.
We always look for validation outside, recognition from people ,friends and we'll never get it fully. On the other hand we never feel that by appreciating our actions we can have a validation on our own. If we trust ourselves, we will be able to influence everything around us.
We appreciate our possessions or what someone does for us. Which actually is just too much of a favour and a fickle approach of our lives. We think appreciation always has to be connected to the material or to any person. In our minds we judge our lives. We see part of our self as good and part as bad.We believe we have to push everything to the positive side and be happy. But you cannot do that always. You are just who you are just as you should be.
For this cause ,you must understand that you do not betray your dreams, your goals or yourself. No matter what happens, do not make any judgments about yourself. whenever you find (unhappy) situation is in your life, you must turn them around.
