Life is packed with many lessons and all of them are worth learning. There are patterns that life follows and a close study of the lives of people can make it easy to identify these patterns. Later we may all extract meaning from them and if not benefit, at least be pleased by their existence. In this article we share with you some of these derivations.

Bite size pieces of life, in the form of stories and relation of incidents, come to us like the waves of the sea. We listen to people talking about the many heart warming and heart wrenching incidents that have happened in their lives or the lives of their relatives. We listen with a lot of interest but, like the shells on the sea, only some incidents stay behind on the shore of our mind while the others pass away. We have observed in life that the incidents which have long term relevance and importance tend to stay back. There is no doubt that God helps us to retain information that would be of help to us later in life.

There must have been times when you recall someone mention a good doctor right when you needed help, you might remember a warning given by a friend long ago about visiting a certain place, a reference of a book or a course that you now require to grab. Moreover, there are countless stories – incidents at stores, information about procedures and systems, referable people in companies and tips and tricks that pop up at the right time and place.

This is one of the derivations; you tend to pull out the right key from the bag of your memories when you reach a lock.

The phone won’t ring when you want it to! Yes, this stands true for letters, telephones, SMSes and emails. You take the first step, confidently or reluctantly, looking forward to a response but in return, are expected to wait…

It won’t happen when you want it to, or even when you are thinking about it. This is another popular trend of life. That’s how life surprises you, the expected occurs when it is least expected. Now the question here is how far is this true in our lives? Hmm… ask anyone who has submitted his CV, sent a proposal, participated in a competition, applied for a banking service, or simply contacted a long lost relative. 

Well, we have identified this quite some while ago and we would like to tell you, it doesn’t help. It’s like knowing one of your family members, living far away, is unwell. As much as you want you can’t really, actually be of any help. Knowledge, in this case, puts you in a situation where you can only pray to God and do nothing else. So, keep on praying for a response. Another practical solution is to forget the whole issue. Stop thinking about the day you starting working on your idea, the different milestones or problems you faced, the feelings of achievement or failure and onwards. The earlier you forget the quicker you can expect life to surprise you. Honestly, what happens in such situations is that we forget to forget and so…!

The existence of sixth sense doesn’t surpass the filter of logic to join the beliefs of many people. It is difficult to believe that we, as human beings, can be entrusted with the futuristic knowledge in our day to day life. The knowledge of the unknown exists but not like the way we term it as the sixth sense.

To make things simpler in life, we have constituted a simple acceptable theory.  All sorts of ideas and thoughts – wise, wacky, wonderful and weird are a means of preparing people for the upcoming developments in their lives. People get ideas and are forced to think about them for some time. They look at the consequences, benefits, risks and concerns that might accompany the idea. This is an opportunity for people to get prepared if, at all, an occurrence of the kind takes place. This is a pattern of life that reduces the number of people who end up in hospitals due to shock. People, instead of being thankful to God, start believing they are trickling information from the future.

We strongly suggest people should believe in concepts that would bring satisfaction to the mind rather than creating an unbalance within one’s self. It is far more satisfying to think that you have been alerted by your Creator than finding happiness in the assumption that you are getting supernatural powers.
