a self reminder kind of thing about beliefs I held all through, with a hope to
help others who may find similitude with my thought process.
While browsing through net, I
stumbled upon an Indian obituary website, where again by chance I learned about
the demise of one of my ex colleague from past beyond nine years. If not for
this site, my memory had completely erased his being from my mind, as I had conversed
with him only on a very professional stratum. Yet, a glimpse of his posted
picture, strikingly reminded me of his ever smiling face, cheerful conduct with
everyone on the floor, and the obviously visible zest in his maneuver towards
life, career and dreams to grow big. He passed away in 2013, and he was about
37 years of age as mentioned in the details.
So, if I had to die at the same
age, what am I left with right now? A few years on my hand versus thousands of
plans to be executed. Am sure, he would have been the same, and for that matter
everyone of us, living in this times are somewhat akin, when it comes to performing
the act called life.
It is not at all wrong to be
ambitious, or to carve out the future plan, but it is equally important to live
the life we have in present. In the race to compete with fellows, we stop
looking at the blessings we are bestowed with, and eventually we start living
lives on autopilot, with bodies doing mechanism, brains running directed
chores, and soul wandering and struggling to find life amidst this chaos.
I strongly believe and always tell
my people, my family, closest friends that life is in this very moment. Live it
to the fullest with being the best person possible. But to confess myself and
as mentioned by my loved ones, I often fail to follow my own principles, I give
into the pressures of life, think more than necessary, worry for things which
may really never ever happen, get annoyed and irritable, lose faith and at
times act in not so affable ways. Basically, I forget to live, to enjoy what I am
conferred with and directly or indirectly it not only impacts me, but also people around me and the relationships I share
with them.
Sharing some views, that I think, if
put in practice, will undeniably make life more meaningful and fulfilling.

Be grateful for what all you have and be more
giving, help the needy, we are not going to take anything with us when we leave
for good, except for the love and blessings we have earned.
·
Be more forgiving, kick off that ego, don’t hold
grudges against others for long. Don’t talk bad about others as far as possible.
Apologize for your mistakes & try to assemble broken bonds, but don’t hell
bend on doing so, maintain self respect, give your best and leave on the other
person and time to decide. God never
gives you the challenge you can’t handle. Be optimistic.
·
I believe, “whatever happens, happens for good”.
So do your karma, the best possible one and leave unto the universe and the
energies within to respond to your deeds. All that is meant for you will
definitely come to you. Have faith, have patience.
·
Life is very unpredictable. Before the call for
the godly abode strikes on you without notice, make sure you have lived a life
you would feel thankful for, you have done enough for your fellows known and
unknown, you have done your bit to support the survival of your mother earth, mother
nature.
·
Don’t keep things for tomorrow. Do all that you
like. Complete that pending special
holiday, dress up the way you like, read your favorite books, sing, dance,
jump, eat, paint, yell, drink, get drenched in the rains, skid on the snow,
ride that bike, kiss all you want, fall in love, make love, embrace life with
open arms….don’t stress if you are not able to do everything you wish for..but
at-least..give it a try! Believe me..it’s worth it!
·
Love is the greatest tool, boon, art, aid, sense,
ability, gift, honor and blessing that we all have been bestowed upon by the
very nature which gave us birth. Let us all be more loving, kind, generous,
grateful, helpful and add more values to our own lives and to the ones that
thrives around us. Propagate enough love and disseminate it in everything you
do, it’ll keep you alive even after you are gone.
There’s still a lot I would wanna talk,
but may be some other time. Perhaps, I am turning quite emotional at this
moment. So I end here for now by sharing a video on a girl who died two days
after it was shot. Don’t miss it my friends, please do watch it!!
With Loads of Love..Mita
