I know the truth but I am not willing to accept it. I am aware that others may not have the same feelings I have for them but I wish I am wrong. I am living for a few people who don’t care but I am holding my belief that they may need my love at some point of time. I am burning inside but I also know the fire is keeping the world warm. I am selfish in all this but they consider it an act of selflessness because they don’t know the reason behind it.
Time management is obsolete. Target freedom of time. Free up your time and don’t fill it up immediately with something else. Our mind is the biggest obstacle. It tells us that being free is a crime. To enjoy freedom of time requires freedom of mind. Practice leisure. Not doing anything could give you bliss. Don’t relate it with laziness. Laziness results in hell. Leisure is like heaven.
Moving ahead is good but taking a step back at times is also important. Consider this; to jump higher you need to bend your knees. Bending doesn’t means going backwards. It actually gives you a more powerful thrust to move forward again. It may be a good idea to take a pause sometimes and reflect upon the journey. May be a turn is required. May be some preparation is needed. Slowing down a bit can actually help you speed things up.
We take the most precious things in life for granted; like – health, family and love. We say all these means a lot but in our everyday life we care about them not as much as we should. When we are hale and hearty we think we shall never fall ill and ignore taking care of body. In quest of bigger success and social engagements, we unconsciously reduce quality time with family. Finally, the feeling of love which was once worth more than life starts diminishing and we stop sharing as much as we used to. Reflect upon this and realign your life.
Yesterday I was filled with optimism. Today I am a bit down. Hopefully, tomorrow will be better. It’s not the first time I am experiencing this and I am sure it’s not going to be the last. Things and mood are never constant. That’s life. Sometimes, it seems it’s all been made up. By some superpower. We are the pawns. Everything is fixed and yet we are all playing with interest. It seems ridiculous. I have taken a break now. But I will be back again tomorrow, to play.
Why are you interested in other persons life? Instead, focus on your life. Why are you competing with others? Instead, create your own benchmark. Why do you count you difficulties. Instead, solve someone else’s problem. Why are you waiting for your turn? Instead, take the lead. Why are you waiting for tomorrow’s? Instead, finish the undone today
Bear the pain. Bear a little more. Then a little more. A point will come when pain is no more a pain. Not that pain will end but you will know how to handle it with ease and respect. Things will go out of control. Life will go for a toss. Relationships will be strained. You will lose the loved ones. You can’t stop all this. The only thing under your control is how you respond to these events. Real happiness starts when you learn to embrace your pain.
You are upset that your life is not smooth. There are so many challenges, sharp turns and many a times you are stranded at a dead end. You want a straight road. You want everything to fall in place. Well, if that be the case what fun will be left in life. The suspense of life is a blessing in disguise. Remember, there is no story worth listening which doesn’t have turns.
Stop now. Turn around. Your destination is somewhere else. You know it well too. Still, you are engaged in unproductive and daily chores which are not yielding much. Doing a lot of things give you a sense of accomplishment but they mean nothing in front of life goals. Get focussed now. Spend the rest of your time on the big things. Change your routine from today.
I met someone. He had a lot of potential but he spent his life waiting for the right opportunity. I met someone. He was very learned but he didn’t practice his own teachings. I met someone. He was trustworthy but doubted others. I met someone. He was visionary but lacked courage. I met someone. Oh! I was looking at the mirror. I met myself.
