Vale la pena vivir

Life is worth living only --

when you have moments that makes you completely broken and suddenly a voice comes from inside saying "move on and show what you have got no matter what, don't let the hope die inside";

when you have people whom you can call up at the midnight and say "yaar m totally f**ked up" n listen to their boasting preaches even when they r half asleep and they don't have iota of an idea what they are saying :P;

when you surprise your competent with a performance which they can not even imagine in their dreams and knock them off their stands and still be generous enough to lend a hand to help them stand up;

when you have nowhere to go and every path seems blurred still you have courage to create your own paths with the foundation of character and principals you have cultivated;

then LIFE will be actually worth living, be ready to face its challenges head on and carry no remorse from the past, no matter how wrong you performed...coz there is always some learnings hidden in the worst times we face!

Keep in mind and remind yourself time and again that first be the change you want to see in yourself and then try to bring the change in surroundings, then life will be worth spending and celebrating. :)

Change

As we all know change is the law of nature and lately I have been thinking its significance in my life.
From some time I have been been very adamant to changes, may be because the change that my surroundings were expecting from me were not exactly what I had projected for myself. To some extent the reason behind this reluctance is justified as I believed in some things and some people and that didn't turn out to be so and hence my expectations failed in the course and I didn't know what to believe. Though expecting things and people to not change is in a way expecting something which is against the nature. And I have figured out the best expectations are the ones which we keep from ourselves or our targets, the moment someone enters in you expectations, it screws not because that people can not live up to them but because of the reason that one should never interfere in someone else space and expectations are one such thing.
The only pain I have carried with me is of being mis leaded. I tried to mislead myself to a destination which was never mine.

Whatever, the content is not as important as the lesson learnt from it.

Though contrary to this one of my buddy used to say "If you really want to learn from mistakes...then learn it from other's mistake not your's own." I must say it was quite a smart suggestion but being a human we tend to make mistakes and there is a very rare probability that you can find any short cut for this learning.

Though you might know all the basic principles and to do's list while going through a change still there is one very simple saying worth keeping in our mind is:
Never ever forget in life what you are made of and what you are made for!

This has inspired me time and again and helped me in tough times for finding the purpose in whatever I do. Although I believe till now I have not seen a larger picture of life but still whatever little I have seen in bits and pieces can be jumbled together to make some sense and I know what I am made of and what I am made for and all the other experiences I HAD, I am HAVING and the ones I WILL have are just a phase which are significant in some way to groom me into what I am supposed to become.

As per the principle one important ingredient of growth is a catalyst and the catalyst for Life is CHANGE.
