Yes! At times, we feel stuck. Feeling directionless and demotivated! It's fine to step back for a while and re-evaluate our life plans, maybe there are new changes to done, etc. Hmmm, but it's ok if someone we know is heading faster towards their goals, because we were not a part of it. If everyone’s journey would have been the same, the road would have huge potholes on it. As our life cycle keeps changing, our perception to explore and discover life gets quieter and deeper, finally understanding – our life is about us! It begins and ends what you make of it!!

Nothing is permanent in our life!

Sorrows...worries...insecurities...hatred...jealousy these emotions are fleeting ones. One moment you feel them deep and next moment you won't remember them. Just like raindrops drops on the grass, one by one will roll into the earth, absorbing all of it without any trace, taking the weight off the grass for a while till it rains again on it. But, the hardness of the rain shower doesn't destroy the grass, because the deep roots act as a base foundation which keeps it strong, different seasons will pass over it, yet it will still survive. So, yes, nothing is permanent!

Change Ahead....! New Exit..!!

I want a change in my life...a change in all areas of my life....a change that will set my life apart from the one i'm living...a change in professionl life...a change the way i live my life....a change that will show me how to live a different life...a change that will make me feel in love with.......a change that will be so contagious that all i ever want in life is allow change...change...and change to come in!!! I love changes....!

All we do is struggle so much in life and fight destiny to put ourself in the direction we want to head not knowing that our path has a different plan for us because it was already planned even before we knew about it. That means the 'change' slowly allows itself to come into our lives to show us that the our path needs to be changed simply because it is not the one we choose....The change doesn't mean one has to be super famous to show the world that this is the only way to achieve our goals in life. 

The society has instilled in our subconscious that being famous is the only way needed to prove to the world that we have attained success in life and not otherwise, and that what makes us feel that we have achieved our goals here on this planet. But is this all that there is too our life..?? What if we do not become famous in the eyes of the society to show that we are successful in our path but yet feel satisfied doing what brings in us the inner peaceful achieved feeling. It might even be a lesser known job profile too...

Yes! The world has too many infinite high profile famous people some of them who do not bring change in any form but are there just for their sake of it and sure the world doesn't want more of them, what our world need is good sensible humanitarian people who are willing to bring in a least change to this world in their own way and pass it on to others to do the same or do something exclusively different for betterment. We can't be doing all for ourself but also set in a good path for the next coming generation to see and experience it...

Change is so constant and contagious too just by keeping the doors open in our life, wonderness of wonders finds us all we have to do is ready ourself for it..!

The Climb In Our Life.....!!

Our dreams....Our desires....Our wishes...Our destination...Our choices...Our life..!!!

To achieve this we have to pass through so many hurdles like climbing and crossing over multiple mountains and keep moving each of it in the form of challenges, struggles, sweat and reach our destination that we so desire.....

But at times, are we strong enough to keep climbing and moving the mountains? What if we just give up getting tired to climb further on the mountain? We may not know!!! In between we lose the direction we plan to take by listening to the little voice in our mind that says " You'll never reach there"...But we have to keep trying, keep pushing ourselves to face and jump over each hurdle that comes in our way just like the sportsman who runs on the track jumping over every hurdle and with all his will power and strength and reaches the final line to win it (that final line could be our own destined plan we chalk out for us).

All we have to do is be so strong for ourselves and have faith cause there are always going to be mountains and mountains to climb and reach the other side that waits us...It is not about how fast we are going to reach there, it is how strong our beliefs are that no matter how hard or long it is going to take it shouldn't let us break...The struggles that we might face and the chance that we take shouldn't bring us down to lose the faith to move the mountains which are always going to be there in front of us, there is no denying to it...There might be moments that we think our own struggles we might lose strength in our limbs, but no, we can't let it happen, because we all come a long way pushing, climbing, striving to reach the desired finish line...!! 

Then, comes the day in our life when we become nostalgic and turn back just to take a glimpse to what we faced and proved to ourselves and proudly smile thinking the mountains didn't break us but made us as what we are supposed to be and gain from it...! But yet, it doesn't end here simply because there are always going to be other different mountains everywhere around us...Let's keep climbing each one of it till we breathe...!!

The climb is all about climbing and taking each mountains as it comes in life...!!

Keep the faith, keeping moving, keep climbing...!!!

Grit...Determination...Perseverance...Our 'GOALS'!!

All these three words have similar meaning to it....Which one do we choose?

Yesterday, i watched a movie which was based on a well known athlete runner, but being famous in the sport world didn't come easy as the amount of physical pain, emotional sacrifices, trial and errors  and self determination that goes along with all this into making oneself achievable is truly amazing!! Nothing can beat it!! 

The words are not simple ones just to say it - in it lies sweat, sacrifices, tremendous self strength, strong emotions, practicality, will power to face even the hardest challenges that life throws towards us,  and above all hard work combined with a tough soul that will determined where you see yourself achieving the set goals which you always have dreamt of reaching towards it...

Everyone starts life having certain plans (so called goals) and sees that come what may one should reach there..But at times, it might take time to see it happening , we as humans have the mental tendency stating that everything should happen or materialize soon so that the wait shouldn't be 'long'..But again! here is the hitch about us humans, mid way we tend to give up on our self just because we simply lose our determination to see the set goals blooming!! Just not done isn't it!!...Let me add a small quote here..There is a saying that "Rome wasn't build in a day"! No need to explain more on the quote, it says everything!! 

Why can't our life be like a garden, where we plant the seed of our planned goals, nurture it lovingly and see it blooming beautifully in front of our eyes. Of course! Even a plant has to withstand the environmental harshness and challenges and endures it bravely to see itself growing to become a strong healthy tree, isn't it? But due to lack of mental patience from our side, all we do is uproot the plant (our goals) mid way from the garden and toss it into a ditch, and there we see all the effort that one puts into it vanishes into thin air, why do we end up behaving in such a way? Secondly, no  matter in which phase in life are we and age, there shouldn't be a full stop to achievement in life...Life is all about progressing in what ever way we want to see it going...Our life is like water, pour it in any mould and see it taking shape!! 

But does achieving goals in life happens soon at a snap of our fingers? It is that magical? No! I do not think anyone will agree on this..! Guess not even me!!

No matter if we want to achieve soon or later but everything has it's time to blossom, can we as humans learn to come to terms in understanding this? If we do, then no amount of frustration can take away the 'Grit..Determination..And Perseverance from us!

Then why give up?! Why not see it blooming?!

Amen!

The Dark Side Of Life.....

When i heard Kelly Clarkson's song - Dark Side for the first time on radio, it drove me to tears (I have the song on my cell phone too). A song that describes how we are afraid to show others our dark life (do not that this statement in a wrong way), dark side is all about what a person goes through various emotions in life by experiencing different phases that life has to offer...

The root of one's dark side stems from difficult childhood, unstable family patterns, eating disorders, unhealthy peer pressure, substance abuse, weight issues, emotional un-stability, depression and so on....All these darkness grows not from the outside source but within the same source where one tries to bloom into it's own skin but at times due to it's own weakness or lack of inner strength succumbs to unhealthy form of acceptance to ease the pain..

.

But those who go through the darkness in their life why can't they come forward and ask for help to make life better? Are they afraid that they will be rejected or not shown any love  or little compassion knowing from which dark side of life they are coming from?  But if we don't then who will? Do we have to literally beg to others to show some decent emotions of approval, like the lyrics in the song? It is truly sad that a human find it difficult to understand each other when in such need...

Let us not shy away or hide ourselves behind a false facade and put on a equally fake smile plastered on our faces pretending that all is well in our world when in reality we need someone to reach out to us and erase the suffering of unwanted emotional pain one endures in his/her journey...Or we feel shy to even shown little acceptance even like a gentle relationship like friendship to such people thinking the society will condemn it or label that everyone is the same...We always worry about the mind of our society than our own lives...Just not done!

We can't deny that we all want to be loved and cared which makes the journey in life a smooth sailing...we want to be accepted no matter what we have done irrespective of the consequences that we face and still have the strength to move on in life for a better progress.

If one has heard the song of Kelly Clarkson 'Dark Side' and give a proper ear to the lyrics one will understand what all it means and what i am trying to say here....I like all her songs cause besides being famous music artist, she has been and seen her side of dark side in life and by reaching out to others who had the same side, she has emerged a winner.... :) :) I SIMPLY LOVE THE SONG!!!

We all have a dark side which is nothing to be ashamed off...Everyone has a dark side that's just what makes us human because we are not perfect....Don't give up on yourself and don't run away from it!!!

I would say never hide or suppress yourself in expressing your side of emotions in other words it heals your soul....No one's life is picture picture..!!

It is all reaching out and making an attempt to make a difference in someone's life and guide them to their proper destination....What a better place this world can be then?!!!

P.S. If you want to listen to the song, here is the link to the song along with lyrics http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h5ZUZjhX2qU

Is It Really Our Life?..Or...?

As the title says 'Is it really our life'? are we all living it? No...Not really!! Cause we have in a way have forgotten what it means to live our life the way we plan it or we give our own lives in other's hands to plan it for us, isn't it the fact/truth in it???

Why do we all surrender our own life to others to plan as what they feel it should be and where it should head towards their planned journey and towards their satisfaction...do we feel satisfied by being a part of this so called planned life by other's????Why we come under stress to live it that way? Why can't we have the right or freedom to design our own path and head right into it?

Our life right from birth is determined as what the person is going to do not even know if that what the person really wants to be?? Why aren't we given the chance to make the decision even why at times we might not be sure if this is it (yes! agreed we do make mistakes but isn't it a part of learning and improving on it?)...but what the heck, it is our life and we have absolute authority over it. Life can't be what other make of it, it is our own note book and we will fill the blank pages no matter in which way it is written...

Words like sacrifices, compromises, unhappiness, suppressed desired feelings, other's unfulfilled hopes and wishes which are not gone right as per their consideration, where does all this make the desired person head too?? As for me, 'no where' cause all these make the individual filled with guilt and suffer low esteem, in other words all this leads to lack of desired achievements in one's life....sad...sad...and what a waste of one's life being on this planet.

Are we really scared to bring in the change on our life? Are we not confident to take small step towards our goals with our own self planning? Is the small step that dreadful?? Or we lose the inner strength to break the chains that bound us all...Why do we have to live a conditioned life?? Why are we born then???

Having been through this same journey, I have come to realize that we all do have the absolute right to know and plan our lives with a strong inner strength knowing that we will be strong enough to pass through the blocked walls that others have put around us...Our own inner strength guides us with courageous anecdote that once we realize it, our worth which brings out the shining light that ignites the whole existence in us....

Let's stop and think for a moment to check ourselves. Where is it that we are and where is it we would like to be? Isn’t life supposed to be simple? That is what everyone mostly says, then why are we complicating it so much with all so called conditions that goes along with it??

Can we all make an attempt to bring in the change in our lives and live it to the fullest..??

We are all born to live 'only' one life here..!!! This statement is an absolute truth and nothing or no one change it ...I can defy that!!!! :))

I am on my own journey that’s for sure, taking a step at a time....loving it!!

So I would say ‘let's live our life and let just live it’...!!!
