Why is it so hard to accept joy and happiness in life? Are you aware that you have blockages about accepting pleasure and happiness? Let's bring some awareness to this together. At the time I was living in, I kept bumping into my blockages and I was reminded of Sadhguru's story of Heaven with the Karpavrishka Tree. In that story, one day after a long walk, a person sits down to rest under a tree and falls asleep there, wakes up feeling hungry and thinks, "Now, how nice it would be to have a nice breakfast over there". And whoops! A delicious mixed breakfast is right in front of him. The person eats well with this breakfast and then says, "Now, I'd like to have a nice sherbet, something to drink, a glass of wine," and cool drinks with different flavors appear in front of him. At this point, now that the person is full and rested, he starts to question the situation he is in, that is, the fact that everything he wishes for appears in front of him so easily, and he asks, "Where and how do all these things come from?" and since this is contrary to what he had previously learned and believed, he anxiously thinks that this situation is not normal and that it must be ghosts roaming around and whoosh! Immediately afterwards, shadows and voices start to appear around him, wandering in the bushes... Finally, the person runs away from the wishing tree with a shriek. Life, in fact, is exactly like this wishing tree, a tree that eventually brings you the thoughts in your mind and fulfills everything you believe in with deep conviction. So, knowing this, why can't we have thoughts of ease, pleasure, abundance, happiness, joy and friendly feelings in our minds? I have to give something in return, I have to labor because I only got love from my father/mother when I behaved well and that's how I learned to receive love reciprocally. Even for God's love I have to worship, pray, fast, don't drink alcohol and don't eat sweets on a full stomach because I have to earn it. I have no idea about receiving unrequited love because I have never seen it or experienced it. Being troubled is almost, in our society, an easy and short way of communicating. Let's all suffer in common so that we can empathize, so that we have something to talk about, and if we have common problems, we will have a warmer and more sincere communication. In order to appreciate myself, I have to achieve difficult things, so that if there is a promotion that comes easily to me in my life, if there is money that comes easily to me, you will feel uneasy and you will be subjected to the phrase "I think you are uncomfortable!"... Difficulty has become a kind of fuel for your ego. The more you struggle, the more you admire yourself and the more you are seen as worthy of admiration in the eyes of others. However, if one can let go of the love of proving oneself, what comes easily is also valuable, and if one can say "I know how to be grateful", one can easily accept what comes easily. Plus, if one feels ease in receiving what is given unconditionally, they will be able to more easily absorb the pleasures and goodness of life... Because the experience is what the person is. One's pleasure and happiness comes from accepting and realizing that this world can be paradise and that one is inherently worthy of it. Here I go back to the first point and wish that each one of us realizes and accepts that we are unconditionally loved in the first place.

The life you are bored with may be someone else's dream When we get up in the morning and look in the mirror, we complain that the people we meet every day, the birds and flowers that are always in front of our eyes are all the same, we complain that our days are always the same as if they were printed on a photocopier. However, the sun rises and sets from a different point every day. In 1 minute, 250 babies are born and 120 people die, a hummingbird flaps its wings 4,000 times, 6 million reactions occur in each cell of the body. Our body produces 3.8 million cells per second. So life works, which is the opposite of death. What we find boring is renewed every moment. In fact, what is boring is our thoughts that are the same, our thoughts that are not put into action, our soul that is waiting to be discovered, our heart whose wings are broken because of our great expectations. So we are the boring ones. As someone once said, "whichever way we turn, we hit ourselves". Exactly. When we look at things that are renewed every moment, what we see is boredom, monotony. Whereas the life you are bored with may be someone else's dream. The history you live today will never be lived again, there is only one of your fingerprints. You are the only one. You don't need big things to be happy, breathing is the greatest happiness. Stop wishing for miracles in your life. When you change your perspective, you will realize that you are already full of miracles. It's nice to have a friend like you. Isn't it more beautiful for me to write letters to you, trusting in your friendship and loving you, and isn't it the most beautiful for you to read them and have them read? Your presence and the letters written in your presence will perhaps be a light for the future generations who read them. They will not be deniers, and if with these letters we can turn one person away from being a denier, we will add value to the country. Actually, I want to write to you every day on different topics, but sometimes laziness, sometimes not finding a topic, sometimes lack of inspiration prevent me from doing so. I sit down and write letters to you. I read these letters first, then you, and the letters of friendship attract the attention of readers who care about friendship. May our friendship survive. Just as stories, novels, TV series and movies adapted from real life stories have an impact on those who watch and read them, I write down what I have experienced in my life and tell you about it sincerely in letters, and those who read them read them. No matter what you write to those who don't want to read. It is our duty to share love and knowledge. If we don't, the responsibility is heavy and burdensome. We always carry the thought of what tomorrow will be, we remember yesterday with bitter sorrow, whereas we do not know the value of today and waste time. Let's also tell our children that denial will do more harm than good and that we should think a little bit before denying everything, so that we can do our duty as fathers and mothers to some extent. I wish you peaceful days.
