Expectation drives you high but reality never fails to hit you back hard, curiosity makes you try but it makes you get tired fast too. I know, “Honesty is the best policy,” also don’t forget that, “Honesty is the worst privacy.” This is a world where majority tone vibrates the truth. And the murderer of all quotes, “Good things come to those who waits,” yes, it’s true and, “Wonders happen to those who doesn’t wait.” Choose the better one.
To get over something, you can never drive around but you have to drive over it. Hurdles in life are not like those physical things, it’s the game in your mind. Getting over something by facing it gives you a weapon which will make you witness the following hurdle as a level but not as a wall. To contradict myself - there will be walls at time, if it’s not worth climbing, take few steps back and drive around. For in the game of life, time is the most important tool – better not waste it.
Just like you don’t laugh at the same joke twice, why worry for the same problem? Just like you don’t enjoy your victory for long, why would you be down on a failure for long? Expectation hurts and even more when you put in a lot of efforts but if you see the other pole, you are learning something you would never have learnt if you pass the game in the first go. This world will never let you sleep on a win-win comfortable bed.
You have a life to live not a life to survive, you have a time to invest not spent, you have happiness to be earnt not money, you have a smile to share love not hide your pain, you have a heart to expose not compress, you have a dream to be fulfilled not dreamed and lastly you have your watch not to show the brand but to tell that you are on a temporary visit to this planet. That little part of you, that smile when you think about your dream, that forceful lines in your diary, that change of breathing rate when you think that you might lose your dream, why don’t you ignite a little more strength in you to shout VICTORY – why don’t you live by your dream?
Life is too short to even think of back-up plan, when you have a first plan, make it final to hit the target and let the world know how much ‘time’ was in favor of you and how less you gave attention to the rest. The highest people are not the tallest but the shortest in giving attention to fear.
If you think life was all about sneaking in, why are you having tension of standing out? Why ‘stand out’ when all you care is the queue? If you are walking with the rest, all that you will run into is nothing but a traffic jam, hunting happiness in over taking the vehicles, sometimes stuck with a slide nervousness in deciding for the direction. But if you are walking with the definition of ‘difference’ in your heart, you will use believe as the guide and hope as the direction.
This life, it’s not a gift but a responsibility, a chance, an opportunity to leave a stone for your existence, a story to be remembered and a spark that will inspire millions. Your goal is to change passion to profession not passion to pension, talent to terrace not talent to tension, hobby to hope not hobby to ‘dhobi.’ Always try finding a space in this world, with this I don’t mean buying or owning a lot of property and land, all that I am projecting here is to push a space for you in everyone’s heart, that’s the only way to live forever and the only way to find a space in people’s hearts is to love what you have in your heart.
Pushing in what Dr. Sumedha Kushwaha, founder and GS of ATTAC (Aim to Terminate Tobacco & Cancer Society) said earlier to me, “You can only give what you have. So, love yourself first to be able to love the other.” It’s true, most waste half their lives trying to please the other person, trying to hunt happiness out of pleasing the other. And also remember, “Tension hai to Gaali do.”
