Life – The word “Life” itself is a
mystery. We all know and have experienced that Life is filled with ups and downs.
Life keeps going no matter what! As said always “Live for today to the fullest”.
Is that easy?
After a point of time, when life
puts you down over and over again, each time you fall you learn to get up and
then the moment you get up you fall all over again?! How awful you would feel? –
Living with positive attitude and hopes of better tomorrow gets drained out
eventually .Now you just want to give up! Life becomes struggle, almost every
day.
Since
past few months or nearly a year my Life has become constant. Books, papers,
watching the world, entertainment nothing actually helps me or feels exciting.
Personally and professionally I have seen no good, I kept going ahead hoping
for better tomorrow. Everyday there is a ball of emptiness above my head that
follows me everywhere. Oh yea, How can I forget what people tell me – “The best
comes in the end”, “It’s all about time, Things will surely fall in place” etc
etc. After hearing it a million times my answer would be like “Now that’s really
not helping me”.
The
best way to deal with Life at this point would be to connect the dots. (Not
being philosophical but this does help me - at least for few minutes). It’s
always said “One should forget the past and move on” – True, but it’s not
harmful to recollect the past at times and learn about your life. Past would
have been painful or probably memorable. Visit and come back J you would feel better
or you would now SMILE recollecting it again.
I sat in my room next to an open window,
gathering thoughts and felt every phase that I have crossed and every path that
I have walked so far had a reason. A reason that was unwrapped at a later stage
in my Life.
I had to meet few wrong people who were not meant to stay
with me forever and then I met right ones later. Here I learned to value them.
I had to choose between let go and hold on. Here I learned
to be strong.
I had to meet a person to direct him to the right path. Here
I learned to be a guide.
I had to choose among emotions and goal. Here I learned to
be practical.
I had to leave behind attachments and move ahead. Here I learned
to move on.
Today wherever I am and whatever I am
- I have learned. I would still keep learning. You wish or you don’t but Life
will surely teach you the lesson. You have to learn because you have no other
choice. You have to cry to learn to SMILE. Though you are fed up, you have to
cross the path that is meant for you to pass. So live, love and continue to do
what makes you happy. Just don’t stop because you are tired. If not today
tomorrow you will know why things were not working out for you when you wanted
it to. And that day you would SMILE again and probably be “thankful” too.
