Life Lesson #153

Time. It has abilities to move mountains. Literally. You know about the Tectonic Motion, right?

And it also has the ability to make things happen. Life isn't so complicated after all. It keeps evolving, day by day. Your thoughts change, your beliefs become stronger and life goes on. Every day, we learn a little more about us. The bad. The good. The worst. The best.



There are a few realizations I have come across:

1. We MUST be Strong enough to face our fears. It is the only thing that holds us back - even mentally. Heard this before? The Old Gyaan? Facing fears is all about doing the thing you think you cannot do. It could range from some situational changes to starting up studies to learning artistry. Whatever it is that you have given up on because you are too afraid. Why hold back? You have a world in front of you. Whatever happens, will also run its own timeline and bring you towards light. Believe in that. Believe that whatever you do, you will be okay in the end. Risk it.

2. It is alright Not to be Perfect. Some people always aim that, but the road is never ending. It will always bring unhappiness. Yes, we can try to be better and we should, but we must not beat ourselves striving to be someone we cannot be. The Goal should remain to be "Yourself" - your very own abnormal and weird version. Even if people around you except you to "Walk like a Model" or "Cook like a Chef" or "Dress Like a Fashionista" or "Speak English with an Accent". You have your own goals pal. Abide by them. Not try to be according to what others say. Improve the personality and develop the thoughts which you want to. Which you think You need. Which you know you should improve.

3. Listen. Connect with People. The biggest lessons we learn are from people we meet in our day to day lives. Observe the qualities, abstain from the negative. Figure out why someone is the way that they are. I don't believe in being judgmental. This world will be so much better if we try to understand each other rather than putting them down, or using their weaknesses against them.

4. Sense of Humor. The ability to joke about "ourselves". Not others. These laughs only get us out of the gutter. We are introverts or ambiverts -- but we can always try not to keep people at such a distance that we cannot even reach them when needed.  Make good friends. Have a hearty laugh.

5. Refer to 2nd. Be your own version. Follow your own principles. Who Am I to give all the Gyaan, eh?

  1. Someone wise once wrote, and I quote,"tell your heart that it is the fear of failure that is worst than failure itself and no heart has ever suffered when in pursuit of its dreams."

We have figured it out wrong. Bustling on the roads, sipping our coffees, Smoking cigarettes, partying on weekends, Spending our money on things that don't matter, Like the new shoes, or Maybe the new Dress, The pretty girl with a fake accent is Busy, busy being anxious about her fashion choices, because well, she got it all figured wrong. Yet, she thinks she knows it all, while hidden insecurities, she believes her fake personality is top-notch. So many people in meaningless gibberish Wishing to stay updated with the world facts, to become so opinionated that they can interact about everything that exists, But what are these opinions for by-the-way, If the people you talk to, don't wish to talk to you anyway? And then, come those who wish to align with the world Fight for their society, or the well-being, Such that they are willing to take laws into their own hands, Use their provoking skills to thrash someone in a  mob, who did maybe a wrong. This ...

My dog is chewing my laptop screen. I am tapping on the keys. I have my Skype logged in. My google drive has a few unfinished links. I am wondering about my novel. I am waiting for a call from my spouse and I'm mad. I am wearing his sweat shirt because it's cozy and I miss him. I am planning to block an annoying friend on Whatsapp. I am also planning to give extra classes to few kids at a school for free. I can't stop thinking about the hookah I had last night. I can't stop being envious of all the couples who were there celebrating "valentine's day" together. I also want to wear the pair of heels I just bought. My dog is now tired of chewing the screen and has fallen asleep. I had sketched a very colorful butterfly two days ago. It didn't look beautiful because I suck at it. I just had a few chicken kababs. One of my friend wants me to do food blogging. I only want to eat food and not write about it. Somebody just knocked at the gat...

Revisiting.

When I was young, Oh, when I was young... Everything was so much fun. Had no dreams, had no pun, but oh, it was so much fun. The hugs from mama, learning skates, learning to ride a bicycle and the dance with papa. The fights with di and the games too.. Telling on her to mom and dad, and the midnight stories too.. No cellphone, no wifi, Even the cable was out, Had a playground, had a school, and there was plenty happiness, no doubt There were friends, who brought plenty smiles Them, I still dream of, After the closing of blinds... And now, Oh its still good,, With the new world around.. but the old days, I will always miss their sound.
