All you need
Is just to find your reason
To carry on
Your ikigai
Your raison d'être
Go find it
At least find one to live once again
And carry on

Read MoreSomething should keeps us busy all the day!!!
I would like to share few lines/quotes from the book/novel that I read.
Reading is one thing that makes me happy. I hope sharing few good things make others happy.
And adding to that, I can easily keep notes of the great lines here in miraquill. I have a bad memory��
Book : IKIGAI : The Japanese Secret to a Long and Happy Life.
Author: Hector gracia and Francesc Miralles.
*
** Can someone really retire if he is passionate about what he does?
** Ichoriba chode: treat every one like brother even if you have never met them before
** The most important thing is to focus on the journey
** Happiness is in doing, not in the result
** Never to be afraid to die, because you are born to die.

Being Human
God created us as "Human Beings" but are we living so ?
Or just surviving like animals?
Even if we are living, are we living with love and radiating positivity?
Or just moving in a rat race of hatred on a way to achieve more ego and create more foes.
Achieving success is good but achieving hate along with it is not.
Don't create many haters that they wait for your failures and become more than happy and contented when you FAIL

Read MoreBOOK REVIEW
IKIGAI
Finished reading #ikigai
I'd recommend this book to y'all.
This book had a calming effect on me as I read it...a little boring and slow in the beginning but as it moved ahead I started enjoying it's description of Japanese culture that promotes mental and physical well being.
It focuses on simple, nutritious yet minimal diet and simple exercises daily. It focuses on having a slow paced life and pursuing things we enjoy.
As it tells, HAPPINESS IS IN THE DOING, NOT IN THE RESULTS.
It advises us that modern Life has powerful forces and incentives like money, power, attention and success which distract us on a daily basis, don't let them take over your life.
Ikigai tells us to keep busy by doing things that fill us with meaning and happiness. These things needn't be big: we might find meaning in being good parents or helping our neighbors.
The book guides us to imbibe WABI SABI which is finding beauty in imperfections of life...and ICHI GO ICHI E which refers to the concept that, "this moment exists only now and won't come again", so enjoy the moment and don't lose yourself to worries of past and future.
It's important to remember:- to live a long time you need to do three things: exercise to stay healthy, eat well, and spend time with people.
"The grand essentials to happiness in this life are something to do, something to love and something to hope for."

Penning down my feelings sitting in balcony
I felt extreme gratitude towards my destiny
I used to stand among the crowd
But my soul wandered through the cloud
At times I wanted to cry my heart out loud
But my mind was trained to be cowed
I always searched for someone to understand what I feel
Hence it took me years to finally get healed
But one fine day I found a friend named pen
And started to live my life once again
I began to find solace in arms of poetry
And rewrote the pages of my life in symmetry
It was a feeling of immense happiness
That I was alone but never felt loneliness
Eventually I found my true soulmate
And the reason for being passionate!!It was a feeling of immense happiness
That I was alone but never felt loneliness
Eventually I found my true soulmate
And the reason for being passionate!!

Eureka
A moment of transformation
Ordinary to extraordinary
Unknown to insightful
Eureka!!
A moment quite rare
Anticipated by most
Eureka!!!
Tens and tens of times
She screamed
Excitement colouring her voice
The life-changing spot
Or so she thought
Then she lost count
So many Eurekas in one lifetime
Moments full of meaning
Yet failing to give meaning
She was like a painting
Bathed in black soot
Lost in a dump of scribbles
A mix of words
Plump with memories of excitement
Buried beneath all that dust
She was like a box
Covered in glitchy colors
Her words sprinkled over her
Laid to rest where the worms lie
Nothing to see here, they said
Just a soul frayed
Her purpose, one too many
Even in the fading distance
Bright as butter her scream
Eureka!!! But not for the last time

I ask my soul
Soul preserves all answer
Akin yet offbeat it sounds
Why can not wear enmity
Soul an apostle of Ikigai
Satiate life by living purposely
Earthly heaven ruled by love
River who is duty bound
Restrain her block her way
She casts her course anyway
Meraki is the strength behind the flow
Love an art wings as passion to flourish
Creation is what we present to the world
Devotion adds meaning throughout the pace.

Use the magic of being determined.
With meraki and eunoia,
Leave a piece of yourself into everything you do ;
By giving your best,
Leaving the negativities and worries of mind at rest.

Read MoreIkigai
Hikikomori is a term in Japan used to describe someone who has “withdrawn” from society. The average age of hikikomori is around 32 and consists largely of men. This is a mental disease that was initially thought of as a simple refusal of a young man to leave the confines of his room/ parental home to interact socially or get a job. It is however much more layered and difficult to treat without medication and therapy .
Crippled by the very thought of leaving
The comfort of my home
Has made me Hikikomori with no one
But my parents to call my own
My sekentei I’ve forsaken, become
Completely amae and lost my ikigai
Akin to a rapidly flowing river I’ve let
Life simply pass me by
The helplessness I feel inside is like
A bird flapping it’s wings in a cage
Not even my own brother can understand
Or my discomfort begin to gauge
Beaten, threatened and abandoned I survive
Willingly bound to the confines of these walls
Forgotten I have the komorebi through the sakura
Or the autumn leaves come the fall
Being considered a recluse, a hermit
Would’ve relatively been some relief
The doctors have failed to treat my condition
Or find a reason for my disease
Complicated is my situation just like
The intricate folds of an origami bird
People negate my very existence and
I am considered a burden on this world
I am like the broken vase that no kintsugi
Could ever with gold hope to mend
My life has an undecided future
Living in an ibasho not seemingly a very happy end
Japanese words used:
1. Hikikomori: withdrawn
2. Sekentei - a person’s reputation and the need they feel to impress others
4. Amae - dependence
5. Ikigai - essentially about finding your purpose in life
6. Komorebi - the Japanese expression for the sunlight as it filters through the trees
7. Sakura - cherry trees
8. Origami - the Japanese art of folding paper into decorative shapes and figures
9. Kintsugi - the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery by mending the areas of breakage with lacquer dusted or mixed with powdered gold, silver, or platinum
10. Ibasho - a place where you can feel like at home, being oneself

Ikigai
iki/gai/
Life/reason
I. The day she met his eyes and slowly each of his poem turned into 'Her' as pronoun, somehow life led him round to his reason of being alive.
II. The universe where she asks for reason since all she has ever known was pain inscribed in her reflections only to learn the beautiful existence of stars, moon and sun.
III. The heartbeat of my mother holding my hands each night saving me from demons which grab onto my skin tight.
IV. Every flower in my garden wilting/weathering and being a revival for others.

Dear Elder Sister♥
You are my courage
You are my strength
You showered me with
Passion, Pleasure and Absolute devotion
You are the one to
Do things which gives
My heart a peace and patience
You taught me
To let out my thoughts openly without scary
You told me
Once life is not a roses of bed
Till today
I follow that concept in life
Their you said me
We should have passion
Pleasure and absolute devotion all the time
You politely carries those
And kept that in my heart and mind
Saying we should have be alive for them
Oh
Pleasure gives me world life
Passion hides my pain to express my own self
Absolute devotion makes me and my family together

Read More*I found my ikigai*
i was
baseless without a taste
racing without a lane
wanted to be jack of all trades
forgetting life is a phase
i tried
winning every race
getting best grades
hoping everyday
things will come my way
in the course i
made alot of mistakes
created alot of hates
wish i could go back to those days
to amend my ways
my life wasn't straight
untill i
just held a pen
penning illusions
creating emotions
painting imaginations
flaunting metaphors
then i found my lost course
now and years to come
it will be what I'm made for

Read MoreWhen I felt the pain of the world, I found my own as miniscule, since then healing others with my quill, became my IKIGAI .
AND I FOUND A REASON TO WAKE UP
Flames of burning dreams were high,
The entangled yarns,
submerged in fumes,
The sky Shedding tears over the melancholy
the witnesses to my growing ardour,
the Tulips, shrinking in shame,
My edifice of hopes a blazing arcane.
Crossing the corpses of kalon
That my heart had gathered in the tryst
held with utmost belief,
I fell onto the funeral
Of my precious passion,
Feeling like a dead being,
unfortunately alive, breathing nullity
In a deep sea of mirk
Gripped with claustrophobic ghosts ,
But then I met a sonder
Revealing a milliions in pain,
Some had dead wings,
Some paralyzed limbs
Craving for some relief,
their cells speaking of their agony.
I woke as a savior,
Hugging each one in despair,
My words found them peace,
Their wounds a bit , healed ,
Since then I found my Ikigai,
A reason to wake up,
After every night,
So as to write some more quotes of love
To the aggrieved soul,
For whom all hopes, did shove.

In life
Love that provides
A sense of fulfillment
And heart has even lost all love
But somewhere,
it's left to explore the possibilities
where love has faith of miracles
that you lastly taste the fragrance freely
as the calm wind before you leave the house of betrayals

Ikigai
The clouds drifting
Through the mountains,
And the sky decorated
With sprinkles of stardust
Mist dripping from
The leaves and my heart;
My heart skipped a beat
As I yearned
For the fragrance in the air;
Where are you, beloved,
My dreams, the ikigai
Of my life?
