LISTEN TO LIFE

One day, my friend called me and invited me for lunch. I could sense from her voice that she was super excited. So, when I went to meet her, I came to know the reason. After looking for a job for months, she finally received a response from one company. She was over the moon and was ready to live a perfectly settled life with her would be husband. I congratulated her and wished her good luck. After few months she again called. But, this time she sounded depressed as she was sacked by the company for some reason. Moreover, her marriage did not work too. She cried her heart out and I comforted her but she became hopeless and still is in deep depression.


We have the tendency of giving instructions to life and telling it our plans and then expecting it to follow the same. But, life has its own plans for you. You can tell life what you want from it but whether it will follow that or not is its own wish. You need to listen to life. Do not just ask for what you want from it. Be patient to see where life wants to take you. Just flow with the flow. Do not force your life to flow against the current. As I always say, what is meant for you will always be yours. But, life has crafted its own path to take you there. And this path is certainly not smooth. It is full of ditches and potholes which symbolises the difficulties you will face. Trust your life that wherever it will carry you will be the best for you.

This does not mean that you have to relax and accept things at face value. You have to make decisions in pursuit of your plans and sweat to make them successful but at the same time have a flexible mindset that will embrace changes in your plans and anything that will unfold later. Do not hold to your plans so firmly that your mind refuse to accept something else. I have seen people blowing out of proportion when something does not work out. The world is not ending people!



 It is okay if life gives you the biggest blow. Get up and start again with full faith in life. It has closed one door because you were not meant to enter it. Just believe that another door will open. No matter what happens, you will reach your destiny. So do not worry if things are not working out as you planned. Have faith and keep going. Something beautiful awaits you!

RISKS- By Janet Rand

To laugh is to risk appearing the fool. To weep is to risk appearing sentimental. To reach out for another is to risk involvement. To expose feelings is to risk exposing your true self. To place your ideas, your dreams, before a crowd is to risk their loss. To love is to risk not being loved in return. To live is to risk dying. To hope is to risk despair. To try is to risk failure. But risks must be taken, because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing.                                                                     The person who risks nothing, does nothing,  has                                                              ...

"I AM FINE THE WAY I AM"

I was in a clinic and was waiting for my turn to consult the doctor. Since it was taking too long, I just got into a conversation with the receptionist. She told me one incident that surprised me and I was miffed too. The receptionist had a friend who was slightly healthy. She did not look that awkward, but her close friends teased her and advised her to shed some weight off. Now, that girl took it so seriously that she went on dieting for weeks and ultimately was admitted to a hospital where she died! Just imagine the extent to which people go just to get a letter of approval with the signatures of this society! We all have a bad habit that we want to be loved by all. We don't want our haters to exist and this is the main reason why we don't accept our imperfections. In this struggle of becoming a perfect person, we end up becoming a messy person. If you want the world to love you, there is no need to pretend and be fake. It just requires a simple action: you need to l...

DISCOVER YOURSELF

The stage was set. All lights were dimmed. Holding their breaths, were the ecstatic students and staff, jam packing the auditorium. All eyes were fixed on the stage. And then, I entered, the spotlight was on me. I was completely on tenterhooks. My blood was running cold as it was the first time I was breaking out of my shell and shedding a part of my so called "studious" image. Above all, I was the protagonist of the play. Pulling myself together, I delivered my monologue and the crowd went crazy, absolutely smitten by my acting. I also ended up receiving "Best Actress" award. At that moment , I was introduced to a new side of mine. I always thought that acting was a hard nut to crack for me but I DISCOVERED MYSELF that day. Same goes with my writing interest. Books are something that intrigue me a lot. But,writing was surely not my cup of tea, I used to think earlier. One day, I just happen to write something which was admired by all and so, I created this blog...

A MASK TO MASK THE REAL YOU!

Image
The sun climbed over the skyline. The rays streaming through the window, fell gently on Amit's face, disturbing him from deep sleep. After much wallowing in bed, he finally got up, already exhausted from the thought of going to a business party.  But, his despair melted down as he saw a huge shelf thrusted with books. His eyes gleamed and a wide smile, symbolising his love for books, flashed on his face, pushing away the sorrow. An hour later, Amit was all decked up, dressed up to the nines, sporting an immaculate black tuxedo, that he had apparently bought from his hard-earned money just to impress everyone. He looked in the mirror. Everything was perfect but, one thing was missing- the mask!  As soon as he put it on, he turned into the Amit of the people. The introvert and 'not a party lover' turned into a gregarious and a party person. The 'book lover' turned into the one who would say, "Books? How boring!". So, there Amit was at the pa...
