It's almost end of the year. And as I take a look back at it, I realize the importance of every tiniest of the thing
that happened to me. I have always
believed that "everything happens
for a reason and at the perfect time".
But during bad days ; I even wish I knew the reason and even wondered if
there will ever be a perfect time. It is
said that one should forget about the
bad time, once it is done with. But I would like to add words to it - "Forget about the bad
time, once it is done with. But never forget what it taught you." Not every day is a fairy tale nor is it a
nightmare. Just a different thought and
experience.
Over the year, I was also fortunate to have beautiful
(inside out) humans around me. Blessed
enough to have additions to the list of people who adore me, respect me for who
I am. And also thankful to the ones who have stayed with me.
Towards the end of this year, I met a very important person.
That's me. I met a new version of
me. I met a side of me I never knew
existed. I found a new dimension, a fresh vision. My mind has got the luxury to
wander into the corners that the older
me had restricted myself from. Why
should I tame myself, when I could possibly fly?!
The prospective of beautiful
experiences that life has in store for me, changed my perspective towards life
or maybe myself.
Life will offer a variety of opportunities . It's up to me
to grab it or not. How else will I grow as a person if I don't allow myself to
go outside of the box? Perhaps leaving the comfort zone is not easy for any of
us. But what's the harm in trying? As Swami Vivekananda said, "Take risks in
life. If you win, you can lead. If you lose, you can guide. " Maybe one needs to always keep this in mind.
You don't always have
to be brave to jump right into the new world that awaits for you. It's okay if
you are taken aback, or if you are worried.
You just have to have faith in yourself. No matter if you jump into the
pool when everyone else is already swimming in it. It's not a competition. Have
your own pace. You will end up enjoying what life offers you; only if you show
the courage. And are willing to taste every aspect of life.
In the coming year, I am prepared to let my new found self to fly to heights and dive
to the depths and get wild with my thoughts. One step at a time.
Albeit doing all this, I will not forget my older self. Because that is who has helped me grow, touch
lives of people. And I will hold these traits dear to me.
With all this said, are you keen on finding a newer version
of yourself?
