Colors of Life

Sometime whenever one is little free, one should try and reflect on the purpose of Life.Is it a mere existence for us or are we living it everyday.There is a difference between existing and living.Existence is just a drab way of merely waking up every morning,eating our food,doing our chores and then sleeping again in the night only to get up next morning if one is fortunate enough.Living life on the other hand is fortunately getting up every morning and reflecting on the last day and looking at what we can do today with a purpose.How are we going to make life of our fellow creatures happy and fulfilling or in fact implementation of any action which will go a long way to enrich our own soul through visible contentment which the fellow souls experience.

Let us name this endeavor which we may undertake as Colors of Life.Going a step further let us also find out what these colors of life are. Being compassionate,warm,friendly,helpful,understanding,humble and generous are all color of life.

Like you buy your child a box of crayons to paint his imagination on a piece of paper and give it a shape the colors of Life are also like these crayons.Till such time you keep using these colors they will keep coloring your life and others around you everyday.So use them to the fullest extent possible.At least when you are gone those colors will keep their life with the goodness you have shown to your fellow creatures.You know why I say this...When people remember you for your good deeds after you pass away these colors become the inspiration for others to follow the path lit by you and prompt them to continue the goodwork.

Have you ever watched a rainbow closely and tried taking out a meaning from it.The shape of the rainbow is round with multiple colors.It seems to encompass the entire creation within it.This is GOD`s wonder through which HE is trying to pass a message saying that " Be like a rainbow,round and without any sharp edges.Take some colors out of it and try spreading them across all fellow creatures lessening away their pain,sorrow and suffering.If you can be happy seeing MY rainbow just imagine how will you feel when you spread colors all around you with your own rainbow.Do that with willingness using the opportunities I have given you.By doing what I suggest you will only make me more happy." Look at the firefly.It is a very small insect but GOD has given it the power to light the darkness.Be like him.Even a small effort from your end will end up brightening up some of the sorrow corners in this world. Asking yourself a question everyday will serve to bring about a great sense in using these colors of Life which GOD has given us." If I were to die tomorrow,How would I live tonight?"
