The sands of time

How quickly my life has changed since my last post! From heaven to hell or is it from hell to heaven? Can't decide. The future holds the answer to that question. Life was cool once. Had time to enjoy with friends and spend time with family. But now the responsibilities are mounting up on me. Time to make myself stronger so that i will be able to shoulder all my burdens. As they say change is the only constant in life and I should get used to the inevitable.

I remember talking about the keywords change, life and choice in my previous post. But its not so easy when it comes to implementing them. Why do people shy away from change?? Atleast most of them do. Why cant we see that change is good for us and try to stick to our routine, not wanting to move up the ladder?? This is something that wonders me.

This is all on the professional front. Even personally i have seen a great change in my life. There's a
sudden shift in the direction my life has been going on in. Changes- both good and bad, are making my life a bit interesting at the moment. Like the sands of time i feel that my life is slipping away from my hands.. Time to do something about it, to be in control again and to get hold of my life.

Whatever is the reason i am trying to adjust myself to this new environment as one can't expect life to be a bed of roses always. Remember fall, rise and emerge stronger! :)

As the saying goes there are 3 things that cannot be recalled: an arrow that left the bow, a word that has been uttered and a life that has been lived. So we need to live life to the fullest, without any regrets as you cannot relive a life that was once lived.

Fall, Rise and Emerge Stronger!

Hello..After such a long gap i am finally back with a bang- With full of positive energy, optimism and hope! :)

What a day! As i write these lines the sunrays filtering through the window beside my desk are splashing me with their aura of life and hope. Yes, that is going to be my theme for this post.

From the past few days I have been watching some really good movies, reading good books, talking to great people, getting to know many things, i can somehow feel the change that is occuring in my internal thought process. Yes a CHANGE- a good one. For someone who hates change i am gald that today I am happily welcoming that change. This life is so very beautiful and you got only chance to live it-LIVE it on your own terms but not for the sake of living. I heard these words being said to me for more times than i care to count but i never actually realized its importance. Even now i am not sure that i exactly understand what that means but I am positive that i can start implementing it slowly. After all its never late for anything.

There has been many setbacks in my life. But everytime i got myself into the downward spiral and gave myself over to depression. But now is the time to bring about that much needed change in me. To correct few things, to set some things straight and to right all the wrongs. I am beginning to feel a renewed sense of hope in me- all thanks to the wonderful people around me and to the circumstances that made me stronger. They might have crippled me once but i am not going to give 'em another chance to. This is my life and i choose to live on my own terms.

Another important word-CHOICE. Every moment of our life is based on the choices we make. We can either choose to crib about our situations or accept it and move ahead.

I should have made this choice in my life much earlier- choosing not to let my emotions rule me. But better late than never. I dont have any regrets about it.

So as to follow my own choices i have compiled a list to keep up my levels of positive energy high-
Think positive- Your thoughts define who you are!
Be surrounded by people you love and care
Spend time with family, friends and pets
Go out-Enjoy nature. Give back to your society and environment.
Dont analyze things very deeply-think it through,discuss,solve,if it can't be solved accept and move on.
That's quiet a list! :P

One other thing to do next in my list is watching "A pursuit of happiness". I was told that its a great movie and looking forward to learn from that.

Some final words- Dont wait for others to help you. Push yourself harder. Dont lose focus on your goal-be happy no matter what. Dont let anything or anyone define you.

Make your own rules and abide by them. Search for ways to be happy and people that keep your spirits high. Whenever you face any setback-strive to hit back harder. Remember self-help is the best help. I would like to end this note with one lovely quote that i borrowed from one of my colleagues-"The bamboo that bends is stronger than the oak that resists".

Last but not the least many thanks to my friend pavan without whom my blog would have come to an untimely death! Thank you for not giving up on me and pestering me to write my second blog post :)
And thanks to those who had faith in me that i would bounce back and emerge stronger!
