Arthur Ashe, the legendary Wimbledon player was dying of AIDS which he got due to infected blood he received during a heart surgery in 1983. From world over, he received letters from his fans, one of which conveyed: "Why does GOD have to select you for such a bad disease"?
To this Arthur Ashe replied: The world over 5 million learned and started to play tennis, 500,000 learn professional tennis, 50,000 come to the circuit, 5000 reach the grand slam, 50 reach Wimbledon, 4 to semi final, 2 to the finals, When I was holding a cup I never asked GOD "Why me?". And today in pain I should not be asking GOD "Why me?"
Happiness keeps you Sweet, Trials keeps you Strong, Sorrow keeps you Human, Failure keeps you Humble, Success keeps you Glowing, But only God keeps you going.....
Keep Going.....

Do you want to die…
Hey friends don’t frighten, I just got this question while reading my favorite author Robin’s book.
Before do want to die let me what is life. For me it’s all about being happy, surround by friends / well wishers /people I love, staying healthy, doing work I love etc.
No one knows that when will our life ends. My buddy Robin asks, how would you show up today if this day is your last ;)?I had just listed myself to do list for my last day or make it things want to be done in my life time. My list keeps growing ….
It makes commitment for life no for the day. Ultimately question comes to me, how you are going to make use of the day.
See how powerful question, sometimes I think that is it cheesy motivational statement? No, it would bring some urgency and commitment to the life/day. Robin recommends to ask our self everyday once we wakeup.
Some special mantras / things to do / follow:
Die daily
Live like tomorrow never comes
Take some risks
Open your heart little wider
Speak your truth
Show you respect for the gift of life that’s been given to you
Shine brightly today
Chase your dreams
People will remember you as one of the great ones and your funeral will be a celebration.
