Early Bird

Early Bird

Waking up early everyday has been one of those things I’ve always wanted to do. Having a regular waking up time. But needless to say that has not been easy. The past 5 days I have managed to wake up at 6:30 regardless of the time I went to bed....and I am very proud of myself :)

It takes will power to get out of bed. I actually have lengthy conversation with myself.It goes something like this...

Sleepy : Few more minutes
Early Bird: No, you lazy fool..get out of bed
Sleepy: But I want to sleep
Early bird: You will sleep in enough when you are dead
Sleepy: Ouch..that is cold...hmmm..it is cold today, I should stay in bed a bit longer
Early Bird: Don’t digress..

They Say ‘life is what happens when you are busy making other plans’

I never knew listening to your inner voice could be this hard. But it is damn hard and challenging when there is so much noise around you. Life in the 21st century has become fast, to say the least. It has become a make it or die game. Constant competition, constant struggle. One is expected to always keep an open eye for opportunities, one is expected to be all rounded. Having one exceptional and well refined skill no longer grants the key to success...you have to be the shit!...in so many things.

The ' To do list'

• I need to find out what my unshaken foundations are, What I can compromise and what I can’t even begin to consider.
• I need to stop romanticizing the past, fearing the future and instead focus on the present.(‘ The reason people find it so hard to be happy is that they always see the past better than it was, the present worse that it is and the future less resolved that it will be’ M.P ‘ )
• I need to own my thinking!...my own positively critical thinking.

Never Regret

‘ If it was good,
It is wonderful
If it was bad
It is Experience’

The formula for happiness

Would it be a drastic oversimplification to assume that the formula for happiness and satisfaction to some extent sums up to where I set my expectations? Cos it makes a lot of sense, getting what I want naturally makes me happy and being deprived of my needs reverses the mood. What makes one happy is subjective and to some extent defined by the very person. Then it would make lots of sense to assume that my happiness depends on where I set my expectations. And my level of frustration, anger, annoyance , like wise.

Embracing ambiguity

'It’s okay not to know
Exploration is how we grow
It’s ok to not have the answer
Cuz sometimesIt’s the question that matters'

The challenge

The challenge is to smile through disappointments, to keep going , to see the light even when it is deem, to realize that with God, things are possible, and he can do exceedingly and abundantly than we ever think and dream. The challenge is to carry the weather inside you, to develop an attitude that is not pushed around and pulled apart by outside circumstances which you cannot influence not change. The challenge is to tame the beast inside which reacts to outside stimulus so easily and creates internal turmoil, the challenge is be in charge, somehow in control of your emotions...to make it through the rain feeling like a sunshine!

About disappointments

The speed and style to which disappointments can make their way through smiles, excitement and happiness is truly cunning! They approach in the most slyest and crafty way..Camouflaged with whatever covers their true identity...and BOOM!
Yesterday, I was the happiest girl in the world, but before I got to enjoy my good news properly and absorb the joy ,today made its way with a pinch of disappointment..But I believe everything happens for a reason and it is a test of character and stamina to stand through disappointments, go forward and not take it personally!
I am grateful for all the wonders in my life and I am determined to pass the 'disappointment resistance test! '

My Rock

I am sure I am not the only one who feels that the space mothers have in our lives is something that falls short of words. ..but despite this limitation, I wanted to attempt to scribble few things about my rock, my mother who has been everything to me and my brothers.

My mother is a very special woman, yes I am biased , but for me she is the symbol of an ultimate woman, who loves and lives for others. A wise and extremely open minded person, perhaps this is what makes her a valuable well of solutions; nothing is dismissed in my mother's head as unacceptable or useless without being given some consideration. What most of us fail to see, she sees and understand, and I think this amazing quality comes from the exercise of accepting people, opening up to them.

Slow and Fast

Things are not going as fast as I want them to, ironically the days seem to pass by so fast..sometimes without realizing what I have done or accomplished that day...but still the things I want to happen are taking their time..playing with my impatient nature.
