I talked to myself…

 

At times it is very important for us to fix an appointment with ourselves. It is that time of introspection when you realize and learn what all things you’ve learnt from life. It is that golden moment when you understand that each day has been a learning day. Every day you learn something new that is worth a thought. It improves your personality manifold and it also gives an insight to your inner soul.

I’ve spoken to myself several times recently and have felt that life is a ‘Boxing Game’. It punches you hard, makes you cry, gives stress to you and at times disappoints you as well. It is then when you must understand that you are not declared defeated when you fall down; rather you are considered defeated when you refuse to get up. However hard the blows of circumstances be, make sure that you gather all your courage to get up and speak for yourself. That is your win!

In such situations, when you evaluate, you’ll realize that it were the wrong people, the ones whom you disliked for their behavior, attitude and perception taught you right lessons. You gained priceless experience of life in such scenarios. But you should have the attitude to make the other person appreciate the fact that your back is not a kind of voice mail. If they have the courage, they should be upfront in coming to you and expressing their thoughts in front of you. It is then when the relationships can be maintained transparent.

I also strongly feel that happiness and success go hand-in-hand only in two situations. First when we manage everything when we have nothing and secondly, the way we behave when we have everything. At times success in terms of money and status makes people swollen headed. The reason is still to be established. People forget their journey when they started with merely the blessings of elders. Status makes them forget even the silent sacrifices made by their near and dear ones. Money puts a blindfold on their eyes but on the death pyre nobody has been fortunate enough to take it along; neither to the heaven nor to the hell. That is the most ironical situation of life when nothing goes with the departed soul; only the memories are left behind. The memories are always special. Sometimes, we laugh by remembering the days we cried and sometimes, we cry by remembering the days we laughed.

So, in a nutshell it is nicest to be in someone’s thoughts and safest to be in someone’s prayers. It is then when you have commanded the respect and deserved the best. If a person cannot be at the nicest and the safest place at some point of time in his life, he probably did not understand how to live life. He always remained strangulated in the materialistic world amidst pounds of wealth and meaningless relationships. It is with these thoughts that I realize that there is still more to observe and more to learn from the follies that people around you do. It is time for you to take a break and talk to yourself about the lessons you learn from life.

Until next, keep talking to yourself to learn…
