Let's accept..

This is an interesting one. Like I said, I have a vivid imagination. I think and imagine characters that don't even exist. I give them names and personalities. This once, however, I was analyzing a certain phase in my life's future where I would have a certain person married to me, I own a beautiful house where we all live together. 3 cars standing with me (boiled down to details like car, model, colour and d car number!)

This weird thing happened to me. For some reason my imagination went for a swing and I started thinking about random things like me being the national coach of our cricket team and being so down to earth ;), that I walked  the streets to the stadium every time before the match started and for some stupid reason even bought a ticket to the game! :D :D :D

The reason I shared this with you'll is to understand that when we feel that we have a lot of control over a certain set of things in life, we have to understand that nothing is certain. Detours and potholes are inevitable. Same like driving a brand new car on the streets of Mumbai. However hard you try, there is this one pothole that always finds you.

But then that is the learning curve. A smooth and perfect  path never teaches us enough. We learn from mistakes and blunders and situations that don't really go our way. And we better ourselves. We learn from a burnt dish, we learn from being penalized for talking on the phone and driving, we learn from fights and most of all we learn from rejection. Life's path is altered every time we accept our mistake and decide to make amends. The new path is always better than the previous one because we were ready to accept and adapt.

Hence, when we expect a bed of roses and end up sleeping on the floor just because of a certain circumstance, let's not sulk about 'why it always happens to us'. But if we would have expected a long sleepless night and had gotten some space on the floor to sleep for a few hours, we would have cherished it and felt infinite joy!

Cherish all the moments in our life. Make beautiful memories out of every moment.

When I say this to all of you, I make it a point to try and learn something from what I say as well. Because it's always easier to preach and tougher to implement and accept.

Soon, I am gonna try a new funda. I am gonna keep away from all things and people I love. I am not gonna meet them or talk to them. Maybe write to them now and then or communicate over a blog. Before I write about it, I want to understand completely the meaning of detached attachment. 

To ccept the reality that nothing is forever. Only then can I learn that while we have it, we need to understand the worth of it.

Today @ 25, I finally have an idea about the meaning of, 'practice before you preach' and I am gonna try it.

Until next time..
