Final Thought of the day !!!

Trade your expectation for appreciation and the world changes instantly !!!

Sometimes you have to accept the fact that certain things will never go back to how they use to be. Life is a compromise between your feelings and reality at every stage you have to quit your feelings and accept the reality.

Sometimes you heart needs more time to accept what your mind already knows. Sometimes you have to accept the truth and stop wasting time on the wrong people. Since we cannot change reality, let us change the eyes which see reality.

Until you accept the reality of your current situation, you can't take the next step forward. Suffering is basically the mind's refusal to accept reality as it is. Accept the truth, because you need to wake up in the reality.

The moment you take responsibility for everything in your life is the moment you can change anything in your life. Maturity comes when you stop making excuses and start making changes. There are two primary choices in life...to accept conditions as they exist or accept the responsibility for changing them.

Learn to appreciate what you have before time forces you to appreciate what you had. Be with people who know your worth. You don't need too many people to be happy just a few real ones who appreciates you for who you are .

Value and appreciate...The people who sacrifice their something " for you . Because may be that something was their Everything. The deepest craving of human nature is the need to be appreciated. Not everyone will appreciate what you do for them. You have to figure out who's worth your kindness and who's just taking advantage of you. Appreciation is a wonderful thing. It makes what is excellent in others belong to us as well.

Maturity comes when you stop making excuses and start making changes. Maturity doesn't come with age but rather with the acceptance of responsibility. Your children will become who you are, so be who you want them to be.

The sign of great parenting is not the child's behavior. The sign of truly great parenting is the parent's behavior. Your child will follow your example, not your advice. Never make someone else suffer for the mistakes which you make. Be responsible and account for what you do.

When you make a decision to have a child you're also making the decision to take responsibility for that child. You don't abandon your obligation as a parent because you have other plans. Each day of our lives we make deposits in the memory banks of our children.

Anyone can have a child and call themselves a parent...a real parent is someone who puts that child above their own selfish needs and wants. Our children are not casual guests. They have been loaned to us temporarily for the purpose of loving them and instilling a foundation of values on which their future lives will be built. We will be accountable through eternity for the way we discharge that responsibility.

In the past few episodes three key points are highlighted... responsibility, appreciation and acceptance of reality. In the first case, Dhani has taken responsibility of Atharva though they are not related to each other by blood, she has considered the child to be her own. She went to the extent of giving up her life in order to protect Atharva.

The difference between Kamini and Dhani is that even though Atharva is Km's own child she never once cared about her child nor did she spent time with him. Children need their parents time for that is when all the values are learnt during their childhood.

On the other hand Dhani has understood and more than happy to accept that she will be mother of Atharva. The love and affection Atharva rightfully deserves is going to be given by Dhani. As Viplav pointed out that Dhani is a wonderful mother who takes care of every need of her children, Chandan himself has accepted this fact about her.

In the second case, Parshiya a gem of a character is appreciated which he rightfully deserves by both Dhani and Viplav. He has done so much for Vidha and Dhani during that phase when they hardly had any helping hand. To me he is one of the best characters I have come across apart from the male lead.

People like Parshiya are really difficult to be found, for they put others before themselves, be selfless in their life. Parshiya is equally appreciating Viplav for the help he has given to him and the ghetto families. Both Viplav, Dhani and Parshiya know each other's value and never failed to appreciate each other.

In the last case, Acceptance of reality...well this is related to the Tripathis...Viplav rightfully points out that children need a healthy environment to be brought up and they need to accept that DT, Kanak have committed crimes and they are going to face the punishment they rightfully deserve.

And the fact that Dhani was endlessly tortured by DT, Kanak so they need to move forward in their life, for they have responsibility of their children to whom they need to provide a secured life which doesn't involve lies, deceit, frauds. The farther they keep the children away from such things the better it is for their development.

The episodes have been very meaningful and they have highlighted some of the most important lessons we might forget to implement in our lives. Life is not always about achieving big things, sometimes it is about understanding small things when learnt, understood and implemented goes in the long run and they make a big difference in our lives. Small things matter and sometimes the smallest things in life have the biggest meaning.
