A ship in harbor is safe... but is that what ships are for?

Are ships built to be in harbor forever?


In order to be safe and protected should we always remain within our secure zone... and never venture out???

Life is full of twists and turns, ups and downs, roses and thorns, success and failures. However, only for the fear of failing, we dont even give tough things a try.

For the fear that our dreams will get shattered, friends, do we stop dreaming.

Life is an adventure, dare it!!!

Let your dreams go wild, dream what makes you come alive. Find out that thing, that is your purpose, then go and do that. The world needs people who are "ALIVE".


Here is a test to find out whether your mission in life is complete.
If you're alive, it isn't.

---Richard Bach

Friends, find your mission and live your mission. Don’t compromise.... You are on this planet for particular purpose... find that purpose.

I often wonder all of us generally, and especially nature lovers like me; wonder at the beauty of nature. The beautiful, snow capped mountains, the sparkling brook, the lush greenery around, the plains, the azure sky, the beauty of the sunset, the red streaks in the blue sky, the flying birds, the colors of the rainbow, the morning dew on the roses... its all awesome. The beauty which leaves you spell bound. However, have you ever taken a chance to see, discover and wonder at the beauty within you? The beauty of our soul. We seem to pass by ourselves without wondering.... never realizing the beauty within us... beauty of our dreams... dreams which I repeat, have been the silent guides to what life has enfolded before us till now... and will enfold in future.

Let’s explore ourselves, our dreams and passions, let’s find our purpose... and like the ship set out on a journey to live that dream.


Life is an opportunity, benefit from it.
Life is beauty, admire it.
Life is bliss, taste it.
Life is a dream, realize it.
Life is a challenge, meet it.
Life is a duty, complete it.
Life is a game, play it.
Life is a promise, fulfill it.
Life is sorrow, overcome it.
Life is a song, sing it.
Life is a struggle, accept it.
Life is a tragedy, confront it.
Life is an adventure, dare it.
Life is luck, make it.
Life is too precious, do not destroy it.
Life is life, fight for it.

----Mother Teresa

Most of us lead our lives just as it comes, without questioning it or without even demanding our rights from it. We like to play safe and live in our self-made cocoons. That's what every general human being is. The one who dares to break this cocoon and explore the world emerges as the real winner. The beauty of life is in coming out of our protective shells and making use of the immense opportunities that lie ahead. Life, without a goal is equivalent to lying asleep. And I'm sure we all want to live and the only way to live is to wake up.
