One Percent!

This weekend has been a very interesting one for me. Probably one of the most since I have returned from Australia!

Yesterday, I had a plan to play cricket with a few friends. While I was waiting for them to pick me up, I began to analyze a certain fact in my life. The fact about whoever this girl would be who I would spend the rest of my life with. Whether it would be the girl I have loved for so long or be someone else, I don't know for sure. And what is funny is that I am not worried anymore. The universe has some awesome plans in store for me.

I began to analyze.. Who is this girl in the silhouette? Who is this girl who I wanna be with forever? Is it Pooja? Or destiny has decided other plans for us!

I recently made this 'list' of things I wanna achieve in the near future. I came up with 25 things that I really wanted in life.. some material and some emotional. I realized one small fact hidden in all that. The girl in the silhouette was just one of the 25 dreams I had. Some food for thought there. The girl, the silhouette that I think about so much.. is just one of the 25 things in the list. A meagre 4 percent!!!

Analyzing further, any girl who I get very close to.. could mean 4 things:

a. An Infatuation
b. A rebound from a past relation OR a past infatuation (applies only in certain cases)
c. A very close friend who we are mistakingly under the assumption, 'could be the one'
d. That she is actually the girl you love!

Hence, the probably of her being the love of your life stands at about 25% or One quarter.

Using the same theory, 25 % of (1 divided by 25) stands at about 1%!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Which really means that we guys invest so much time and mind in this girl we wanna be with but we don't realize that her ratio or probability of occurrence stands at about 1 % or less. Please do not mistake this with the level of importance in our lives.

I am a romantic by heart but I sort of understand now, that while I am in the search of or waiting for the return of the perfect one in my life.. It is also important for us to realize that if we do not get that certain person, it is not the end! We look forward to so many things in our lives.. Cars! Phones! Clothes! Tech stuff! Happiness! Family! Health! But then when we face rejection or when that relationship of our dreams does not materialize, we end up loosing our minds! We end up being depressed or upset and lose our focus on the rest of our dreams!

We lose out on the 24 other dreams cuz of that one dream that didn't become reality!

Like I always say, this is totally my opinion and my thoughts put down in ink. But I do feel that it is important for each of us to realize that life is a much bigger picture. It doesn't stop at the breaking of a certain dream. Dream on... there might be something around the corner that will make you forget all the sorrows of the previous broken dreams and in fact bring you so much joy that you'll realize how AWESOME life really is!

I do not say give up on anything. Especially not on the person you love. But do not put everything else on the line.

However, if you're certain that she is the one OR he is the one.. Kindly disregard this BLOG! ;)
But again, BE SURE!

Today @ 25, I have learnt, "Have faith in yourself and believe that you can get whatever you want. Nothing feels impossible then."

Until next time..
