You can look back there to explain things, but the explanation disappears. You will never find it there. Things are not explained by the past. They’re explained by what happens now. That creates the past. And it begins here. That’s the birth of responsibility. – Alan Watts.

What is this about?
Shelby park is peaceful, beautiful, and fun. I am not big into fishing, but I still sat there by the lake for hours, motionless, watching the reflection of trees in the water, paddling of ducks, and listening to the bird’s chirping.
There are walking trails, playgrounds, picnic tables and shelters, slides and swings for children, and huge green spaces.

What is an obstacle?
What is an obstacle?
By Raj H.
Photo B Raj H.
An obstacle is a known or unknown thing that happens at most unwanted or unexpected time on a journey towards our goal. There is no specific, step by step protocol on how to overcome an obstacle because we wouldn’t know what an obstacle is until we face it. If we could predict the nature and timing of an obstacle, it wouldn’t be called an obstacle.
So, what now?
There are three things that will help us overcome obstacles and reduce the impact of these obstacles in our lives and help us maintain harmony and peace.
These three things are:
- Definiteness of purpose: What do you really want?
- Objectiveness: Don’t let your emotions and perception affect you when you are faced with an obstacle. See things as they are. Practice being in the present moment. Don’t let your past hold you and drag you down. “Here and now” is what you all have. This is your playground. Give your hundred percent. Change things that you can and don’t worry about what you can’t change. Play your game here and now.
- Resilience: Shrug off the disappointments and temporary defeats; don’t consider them as failures.
You may not be able to predict and tackle an obstacle with a definite plan, but you can incorporate the above three things in your life and don an universal skill to deal with any and all obstacles without perturbing peace in your life. But then obstacles are not necessarily bad things. They invoke a new dimension in you and leave you with wisdom.
The Camera View Of Happiness
The camera view of happiness

Happiness is like a view from a camera. An ever happy person positions himself in a place from where he can have a better view of happiness and peace. He is always busy zooming in and out, panning left and right, tilting up and down his camera to locate and shoot happiness and peace. Then he reviews his footage and trims it and puts it in order. Most of all, he reminds himself of his objective at each step of this process. The result is: he presents himself and others a nice and short, clean and crisp video of happiness and peace.
He is always successful at doing this because he know the secret: happiness is a choice.

Questions and Choices
By Raj H.
This normally happens: you have studied for a test, you are at the exam, and you see the question paper. As soon as you read the question, you realize that you know the answer. But then you read the choices, and every choice looks like the right answer. And the real killer is the fear of – what if you are wrong?
This happens more often in real life situations.
What do you do then?
Stop analyzing the choices. Take a deep breath and read the question again if it’s an academic exam; remind yourself of your purpose and priorities if it’s a real life situation.
Don’t force yourself to find the right choice. Instead spend some time with this question: what do you really want?

Have you been to the Sri Sai Baba Temple in Nashville yet? If you haven’t, plan to visit the temple today and receive blessing from Baba.
The temple is newly built, and a part of it is still under construction. When I went there, I found an amazing stillness in the environment. Being at this temple is no different than being in deep meditation.

Life is an infinite game; there is no beginning or an ending to it. What seems like an ending is in actuality a change of a season; it’s moving from one season to another.
The life changes it’s game rules every now and then to make sure there is no winner or a loser. This game of life is all about playing the game: do what you can and accept what is.
