Changed...

After reading the book entitled "Purpose driven life" I came out with this. Hope you like it.

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 with you.
ME: I do pray. Just to make 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 you know? I can't find free time. Life has become hectic. Its rush hour all the time.
GOD: Sure. Activity gets you busy. But productivity gets you results. Activity consumes time. Productivity frees it.
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 meduim you are comfortable with.
ME: I understand. But I still can't figure out. By the way, I was not expecting YOU to buzz me on instant messenging chat.
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 constant 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 is why you are not happy.
ME: But how can we not worry when there is so much uncertainty.
GOD: Pain is inevitable, but suffering is optional.
ME: If suffering is optional, why do good people always suffer?
GOD: Diamond cannot be polished without friction. Gold cannot be purified without being fired. Good people go through trials, but don't suffer. With that experience, their life becomes better, not bitter.
ME: You mean to say such experience is useful?
GOD: Yes, in every term. Experience is a hard teacher. It gives the test first and the lesson afterwards.
ME: But still, why should we go through such tests? Why can't we be free from problems?
GOD: PROBLEMS are Purposeful Roadblocks Offering Beneficial Lessons to Enhance Mental Strength. Inner strength comes from struggles 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.
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 rode ahead. You work with the compass. Let others work with the clock.
ME: In tough times how do we 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 their side, but few want to be on the side of the truth.
ME: Sometimes I ask, "Who am I, why am I here?" I can't 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 process of creation.
ME: How can I get the best of life?
GOD: Face your past without regret. Handle your present with confidence. Prepare for the future without fear.
ME: One last question, God. Sometimes I feel my prayers are not answered?
GOD: There are no unanswered prayers. At times the answer is NO
ME: Thank you for this wonderful chat. I am so happy to start the day with a sense of inspiration.
GOD: Well, keep the faith and drop the fear. Don't believe your doubts and never doubt your beliefs. Life is a mystery to solve, not a problem to resolve. Trust me. Life is wonderful if you know how to live.
