God and You

God : Hello. Did you call me?

Me : Called you? No.. who is this?

God : This is GOD. I heard your prayers. So I
thought I will chat.

Me : I do pray. Just makes me feel good. I am
actually busy now. I
am in
the midst of something.

God : What are you busy at? Ants are busy too.

Me : Don't know. But I cant 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.

Me : I understand. But I still cant figure out. By the
way, I was
not
expecting YOU to buzz me on instant messaging
chat.

God : Well I wanted to resolve your fight for time,
by giving you
some
clarity. In this net era, I wanted to reach you
through the
medium you
are comfortable with.

Me : Tell me, why has life become complicated
now?

God : Stop analyzing life. Just live it. Analysis is
what makes it
complicated.

Me : why are we then constantly unhappy?

God : Your today is the tomorrow that you worried
about yesterday.You
are worrying because you are analyzing. Worrying
has become
your habit.
That's why you are not happy.

Me : But how can we not worry when there is so
much uncertainty?

God : Uncertainty is inevitable, but worrying is
optional.

Me : But then, there is so much pain due to
uncertainty..

God : Pain is inevitable, but suffering is optional.

Me : 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, but don't
suffer.
With that experience their lives become better not
bitter.

Me : You mean to say such experience is useful?

God : Yes. In every terms, Experience is a hard
teacher. She gives
the
test first and the lessons afterwards.

Me : But still, why should we go through such
tests? Why cant 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.

Me : 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.

Me : Sometimes not succeeding fast seems to
hurt more than moving in
the
right direction. What should I do?

God : Success is a measure as decided by
others. Satisfaction is a
measure as decided by you.

Knowing the road ahead is more satisfying than
knowing you rode
ahead.
You work with the compass. Let others work with
the clock.

Me : In tough times, how do you stay motivated?

God : Always look at how far you have come
rather than how far you
have
to go. Always count your blessing, not what you
are missing.

Me : What surprises you about people?

God : when they suffer they ask, "why me?" When
they prosper, they
never ask "Why me" Everyone wishes to have
truth on t heir
side,
but few want to be on the side of the truth

Me : Sometimes I ask, who am I, why am I here. I
cant get the
answer.

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.

Me : How can I get the best out of life?

God : Face your past without regret. Handle your
present with
confidence.
