Awakened from a long sleep, my eyes feel light and my heart feels heavy.
I used to feel sleep deprived until today when I finally realized, unknowingly, how deeply I was sleeping unaware that little by little as I’m living each day of my mortal life I’m coming closer to its end.
‘End’ is a word that always make me uncomfortable, I always feel a little emptier after thinking about the end of anything, because once an end reaches (an end of a trip/relationship or maybe a project), it changes you in some way or the other and you are never the same. All you have is memories of the events that changed you in the process of coming to this end, be it beautiful or ugly.
In the recent past, I have observed different people in and around my life, I have observed the tiniest things that make them happy or sad. I understood things that are shallow or too superficial to me can be the ultimate source of happiness to some people or the things that I feel are right can be too offensive to others. In all these rights and wrongs, in proving ourselves superior to others, I feel we are loosing real essence of relationship.
Respect, love and care are becoming extinct.
I see relationships coming to an end for things that exist only in the mind but weren’t really there and why? Because we never care to take a step forward letting go of our big fat ego for bigger relationships.
Sometimes, in living our own life and making it better, we often tend to focus more on how people are treating us and are almost always overlooking how we make them feel!
Have you ever wondered, one day you fight with someone, say or even think bad about him/her and the next day you wake up to know that they aren’t here anymore, that they have taken a long journey to a place from where they will never return. Imagine this end.
Think about your journey with this person and its end.
Would you still think or say the same things you have said or thought?
I guess no! I think then you would do anything to erase that bad part with that person from your life, wouldn’t you?
Its a bitter truth that each one of us has to leave, we all are here to be memories then why not be a happy memory for each one we come across in life? Why not end this journey of life with a beautiful full stop?
This war of right and wrong is taking us far away from true happiness and burdening us with so much of negativity. It is important to feel light by letting go off everything that stops us from moving forward in life whether its a situation that we have created in mind or something that happened with people. Forget and forgive yourself and people , with a true heart and move forward.
We tend to appreciate the beauty of things we have or we once had either when somebody else has it or when we loose it forever. Decide for yourself what is more important to lead a beautiful life, continuous analysis of what happened and what should have happened or just letting go off every thought that is stopping you from appreciating the beauty of your life and people in it?
Life my friend is too short to fully enjoy, don’t waste it on something as small as negativity!
Live your dreams, live not just for yourself but for others. Uplift yourself by uplifting others and their dreams and you will see the life you have lived hitherto is and was always beautiful, you just needed to change the way you look at it.
Oh! You light free spirit,
You made it this far my friend;
Don’t burden yourself with hurt inside,
That is stopping you to ascend;
Ascend to a path of peace and serenity,
A path with a beautiful end!
Very Nice
