Do small things, with Great Love

I was fortunate enough to attend the lecture given at my school by a very charming person, Dr. Jarrod Spencer. He spoke about love. The very emotion and feeling which we, as human beings, are truly hungry for. His main message was to "do small things, but with great love" the words of Mother Teresa. And in spite of being brought up in the same city where Mother Teresa selflessly devoted her life to loving others, this was the first time I heard these words, which was a little saddening. I was overwhelmed to think about the amount of love Mother Teresa possessed, and the selflessness with which she shared it with others. But after hearing Dr. Jarrod Spencer, I realized that we all are capable of such love. We all possess it. We just need to show it. Something so pure as love should not be locked up inside ourselves. We should let it flow out to everyone. I find it distressing to see the world so consumed with materialism, violence, that we forget about the simplest but the most important aspect of life. To love, and to be loved. I was happy that Dr. Jarrod shared his thoughts with us and I feel that it inspired me (and the other students) to realize the true importance of love in my life, and be a warmer and a more loving person. He inspired me to do small things, but to do them with Great Love.

Not the first post.

As I lay in bed yesterday, at around 2.30 AM, I began to wonder about my first blog. It was much tomfoolery and a little bit serious stuff (!) towards the end. And then I felt, that I wanted to start again. But this time it was not because I was looking for a way to do stuff online and getting other people's comments and to interact with them. I feel that I have reached that level of personal growth that I understand the world around me as well as myself better. Through a blog I can share my experiences/thoughts I had with everyone and no one. And it's also a way of letting my feelings flow out, and feelings should never be held back, whether happiness or sadness. So, I decided to start again, and I am very unpredictable...this blog may disappear suddenly too.
