Approach Life as an Experiment

Life’s journey can be exciting, and adventurous, if only we can keep our mind and attitude little flexible.
When we approach life as an experiment, we try in many different ways. If something does not work out, there is no point to be stressed out about it. May be the time was not ripe for that particular thing to happen. May be the time was more suitable for some other thing to happen.
Whatever we do, we should put our whole heart into it. But it is a wise policy, not to freeze our mind with hope, desire and fear. Whatever happens happens for good. This is the message of Bhagavad Gita also. When work is done with total sincerity and we surrender it to God’s will we neither get stressed out nor get tied up with karmic account.
When work is done from narrow self-centeredness, it is sure to create stress and tension for us.
The best trick is, while working, we must keep few points in mind. Our work and intension should not be harmful to others. Better it will be, if it is done for well being of all. Secondly we should put our 100 percent sincere effort in each of our work. Finally we should surrender all our work to God’s will. Then whatever may be the outcome, we can remain unruffled. 
Life is a great school, especially we may learn a lot from our adversities and disappointments. If we lose our material possessions or our loved ones, that pain teaches us the world’s temporal nature. Whatever may come in our life, prosperity, good relationship or fame, we may enjoy it, without being attached to them with expectations. Mental freedom and joy is our birth right. We must protect that, and learn to live every moment with joy and happiness.
Life is an experiment with right and wrong approach, and we learn many lessons from life.
If our sincere effort brings satisfactory result it is “Fine”, if it is not “No big deal”.
