By Sanjib Mukherjee,
Reflection of your time on earth is perhaps one of the most important aspects to spiritual growth. If you were to take a time out right now and start your life all over again, what one piece of advice would you like to give yourself to ensure you lived to your full potential?
Dear Sanjib,
Jai Gurudev!
I love this question and my answer is very strait forward. I would start my spiritual knowledge (Art of Living), Upanishads and Vedas knowledge at an early age and devote my entire life in serving people.
As service is the best and the quickest path to salvation…
Jai Gurudev!
Sanjib, I really don’t know, my life ran as it should and I am very happy and lucky with all the blessings and my path, though it was and still is not an easy life.
If we know what we would change, than why do we need another chance? Just do it! Change that straith away. We can start our life again!
hi-wud stay n shanti niketan n paint n paint–thats all-my love of life s this-which i have avoided for long!!n read a lot-this wud b diiferent for me–
I love the way Mila Paripovic has put it forward.. why again.. why not now !! very true..
change my attitude….be positive…bcos it will change my life…
Hi Sanjib… wishing you a beautiful morning.!!!
ah..!! daily you put me into so many thoughts i am stil not out of the question of how i would like to spend last day of my life….and now again this question of changing life and starting all over again…!!!!!
so how to explain it what we would like to do…me want to do so many things that i would love to start it all over again…and do.. like i want to go back in my young age and learn music and dance and art more of creativity….and ometime i feel i could go back and do medical or engineering and study more and more like collegiates and enjoy college life again and have fun…again …
but all this cant be done but my spirit of doing something great is there and i really want to do it
….in my life i always suffered because of my too much emotional nature and sensitivity that if someone said me something i took it to heart and not being able to come out of that for long…and if someone hurt me i could not forget ..if someone ussed to reject me i took all the blames on me and hurt me more lowering me myself losing my confidence
….and so many fears always stayed there in my mind so instead of enjoying life i always got troubled with those fears of my mind..and instead of enjoying present moments i always stayed thinking about past or anxious about future….
so i just realised all these things just give nothing positive to us…just we suffer only…and when i changed the perspecitve towards life then only i can appreciate true values of life and love and me …
just one change is enough for me as THIS CHANGE IS THE CHANGE WITHIN ME… i just wanted to have this change in my life that i can explore me i can understand myself .i can know what really i want to do in life ..what really is my purpose of life…and just this change only can make everything around beautiful and worth while…
so i dont care about the physical cchanges of weather city or anyothe changes of my growing age…but i want to change my inner self more towards positivity ..so that each day every moment of life i can enjoy myself and others too…i can smile and make them smiiing too ..if i wil stay strong inside i am sure i can give strength to my near and dear ones…if i feel confident about myself i can make realise to have trust in themselves…. so everything i need to change is just myself….ME …
every person around me should feel that change …i want to live life again with a life full of love and care no hatred no regrets no doubts…no breaking of trust for me …and no breaking of trust of people on me…SO LIFE FULL OF LOVE , CARE AND FAITH AND LIVING IN MOMENT .And to be able to just BE WITH FLOW…whatever comes good or bad in life i want to accept that …growing age may bring physical changes but beauty may diminishe but that change should not effect me inside
…i want to ENHANCE INTERNAL BEAUTY …and WANT TO GROW UP GRACEFULLY and want to STUDY AND LEARN MORE AND MORE.. and ALWAYS WANT TO WRITE TILL END…
change in thoughts may come but it shoule be encouraging and positive change..and i would like to express my thoughts always and would like to write and through this i would like to bring change in people ‘s life ..
***** BUS ITNA SA KHWAB HAI…JUST THIS IS MY DREAM OF CHANGE…*****
.
Thank U so much Sanjib…for giving such quesions becos of which i can analyse myself so deeply….regarding what i really want to do…and such quesions and such analysis surely reassure our feeling towards life and our goals in life….GOD BLESS YOU… for bringing such a change in my life that change i want that this should be permanent as nothing is beyond such change…..
regards and love and care ..Rekha…
Thinking of starting my life will be the sign of dissatisfaction with this life..
What I believe that each n every life v get is perfect in itself n v can make it better by realizing ourself..
Many times,I have many complains with my life..I may b disappointed many times with it.. But every time, when i think deeply..i find that GOD has given this life to me so that i could learn from it that part which i was somehow not able to understand in my past life.. If i dont get it now that each life is to learn the golden lesson of LOVE(in true sense),then i ll lack that wisdom ways..which knowledge,education n teachings of life want to give me
..Love is to b felt everywhere,towards ourselves,towards people,towards parents,towards animals,towards god,towards situations….etc..
So, i ll say, though i may get manier times frustrated with life n situation,become angry n even may curse it..I know somewhere deep inside that I am in a learning process n have to learn it
.. n i dont want a reincarnation to learn it again.. i want to complete my schooling in this life so as to carry the wisdom to the next life..where i ll get more to learn about.. n if i dont get to learn completely this life,i know i have to in next one.. But, i wanna give my best to learn this time instead of thinking about a restart.. I ll say, i ll change my attitude, change my thaughts at this moment only,no matter if i have to say it again n again.. its never late to learn..or to wake up..:)
At last, m just in kinder garten n hav been tryin to rise to next class since long time..n i ll keep trying…….
Thank u so much SANJIB for posting this question, u helped me start my day with some positive thaughts again..
If I got any chance to start my life again, then there will be one thing surly “Different”. Then I will do AOL courses from my childhood. I am sure that by following AOL teaches from childhood I can grow up in a better way & can do something better from now.
Getting “Guru Grace” from childhood can really make someone’s life “Different”.
From starting i would like to do art of living course
@Mila, …your absolutely right…starting life again doesn;t necessarily mean dying and going back to day 1, it can also mean how we proceed from this moment onwards..:)
i will change nothing. I had a beautiful childhood,a amazing teenage life and a wonderful married life.
Hmm divine timing is perfect BUT I will start very early to learn Yoga (i still cannot do) & meditation & spiritual teachings
I adore God & virtue and doing good for all & just want to share all the time (the little I know) God bless 
First say sorry to those who were hurt by me,knowingly or unköwingly,dil’pe koi booj na rahe n would like to see al those whome I love a lot
Am happy and contented wherever I have reached today, does not matter the route which I have taken to reach here. Only thing I wish, I would have gone to a Gurukul instead of going to a Nursery School to know “Who am I and Why am I here” before knowing “How to survive in this World “!!! Thanks Sanjib for your beautiful thoughts !!!
Thanks Sanjib it is a very good question makes you ponder about your happiness.I am happy & contended. If one has to change it has to be in the past. which is not there. Everything is perfect in the present even if it is not according to us.
I if get a chance i would ask for never coming to this earth,never suffering ever again,,no life no feelings no worries no comitments
@Pragna, why do u have to wait until ur death sentence, why don’t u do it now, u get a fresh start.
Were it offered to my choice, I should have no objection to a repetition of the same life from its beginning, only asking the advantages authors have in a second edition to correct some faults in the first— Benjamin Franklin
@ Himadri… Wow ! I liked it my dear… True, just need to correct some faults in the first…
But again, from that fault you have reached here, where you have reached surrounded by so many beautiful people today…. so much of joy, love and happiness around…
Main thing is learn from the mistake and go ahead… Mistake is only mistakes when you repeat it !!!
I would seek out Guruji from the first moment that I became sentient and from then on would give the reins of my life in his hands.
live in the moment and why think abt it take each day as it comes we dont choose universe chooses us universe is a giver by thinking we spoil our chances of getting what universe thinks best for us we shd just accept everything with simlicity and clear concious
I would try to keep my family………only that….
the only one thing I would do differently is, to come in contact with G as soon as possible, without wasting so many years of my life … like in this birth……….
Good Morning Sanjib!!
I like the way my life has one so far…ups and downs….success has made my heat fill with gratitude and downs have only made me strong and spiritual. I am thankful to the divine for everything that I have been through.
Yeah there is something I would go back and change(if I could…) and that is I would pick up my cycle and persistently learn to ride it no matter how many times I fall. As a kid I feared falling and hurting myself again after my first fall…..:o(
That’s it…small wish, but it means a lot to me.
Love
Deepa
HIi Sanjib ..yesterday you asked this question and we all were talking about what changes we would like to have or what not i just saw a mail in inbox from astrology centre of yesterday that says …
***It might be hard to believe, but it is never too late to start over! Whether you want to make a big life change or just renew a facet of your daily… life, now that Venus is trine Pluto, the energy is ripe with positive possibilities! Your relationships, emotions, and spiritual life are very receptive to positive changes and open ****
I was so amazed to see this mesage as here i was talking what changes i want to have and my astrological stars indicating that i am now receptive to positive changes…everything is so corelated …like when the right time comes we ourself from inside feel like changing oursleves and open to change…otherwise when we dont feel open to change NO ONE CAN CHANGE US…as there are so many books we can read of positive thought or so many people giving speeches or lectures on this and so many or our relatives or friends give us advices to change to better but as we are not receptive at heart our windows of heart are closed for their positive attitude or thoughts nothing wil affect as as we dont want to come out of our closed well ..and if we dont come out of well how can we know what is going in the world in the ocean ..so to bring change first we have to make our mind and heart open to changes…and LONG LASTING CHANGES WILL HAPPEN ONLY WHEN HEART AND MIND DECIDE TOGETHER….
So anyone who feels that he should change ..as enough of life we lived without living fully or enjoying every moment first try to BE RECEPTIVE AND OPEN TO CHANGE… then only postive or good thoughts or speeches or quotes wil effect MAGICALLY….
Wishing you all the very best in life …change but become better than you are ….if you are better already become best ..and if you are best then reach the higher level of divinity virtues and help the mankind to become better and bring positive changes in them…INSHALLAH…ALL WIIL BE WELL AND BEAUTIFUL AROUND….
I wud do more voluntary work for children’s charities.I had a gud childhood,and wud wish every child to have the same…
I wud NOT get married,as marriage is too much commitment….
Your absolutely right Seema… we are all extensions of the divine. But somewhere along the way, very few of us actually live a divine life to our highest potential. Hence the question, what could we each do differently to manifest our inner brilliance to its maximum…
its not me who is asked to do something
