Destiny - The Way You See It!
When I started off, I was sure that I'll have one blog every month. Well, that doesn't seem to have happened. Guess plans are here to flop, exceptions arise only in biz scenario. Lets not get there, that's a different story altogether! Anyway, I'm back to write after a short haul, during which I was left grounded for reasons best known to me. Lets call that 'my little secret'. The one's who know, shut up! :o)
A few years back, precisely 2 yrs back, during a misunderstood conversation with one of my friends, a comment passed like a breeze from the other end which hit me like a bolt however, " You don't know what you want, do you?" and that apparently ended the conversation. This friend is still dear to me, indeed!! ;) Slightly unaffected at first, I began to realize that I was deeply wounded as months unfurled. Now, I was on a quest to find answers to few questions, Do I really don't know what I want or is it an illusion? Have I changed the way I used to be? Have I given myself to situations? stormed my head. Will I, won't I was another set of subsidiary questions, alongside!!
What best can one do when confused - seek shelter under others' opinions, become reclusive, get under a book? Book it was that I took refuge in!
Ahh! Books - I like everything about them, right from the smell of the print to the way they breathe, per se! Whether I read them immediately or not, is a mystery ruled by my mood! Anyway, not digressing too much, I did grab few copies of, you got it right, Self-Help books!! Oh my God, there I was, trying to discover as I flipped pages. To be precise I read, The Secret, The Power - all by Rhonda Byrnes and re-read The Alchemist - one of my favorites. If I must confess, I was capitulated by their words, the content and the magic! I tried to put them to use, at first it seemed enchanting. But with days I was feeling drained and exhausted. We are not used to living our lives like in books, because we are not the only living entity. We have situations, circumstances and more importantly other people involved in everything around us. So, everything started getting back to normal viz.., everything I read began to fall apart!! So, hello, nice to meet you at Square One!!
Disclaimer: Read the first 2 books at your own risk! It requires a lot of energy to match with the frequency of that of the universe. I wouldn't say I failed, I couldn't apply to every walk of my life at once! If you are unable to decipher this, don't bother. Move on!!
Now, where do I find my answers!? Who'll help me!? A genie, a fairy or may be another book!? I picked Eat Pray Love! Now this was the book! [ I ain't getting paid for the appreciation! :( ] Highly recommended for women only! I may not have related to everything that the author speaks of (who has bared her soul for the book, and she is just another woman from Venus! So, that was comforting!), I had a sense of joy that I was part of the club.
Voila, with time, I just knew what I wanted, I had my questions answered, out of the blue, like a miracle!! Now, why are miracles your uninvited guests? I don't know! They just please you when they arrive and depart with a trail of sweetness! That's the beauty of it! ;) I erupted like a volcano with happiness, met a couple of friends during this time! Their expressions were priceless, unable to fathom what exactly had happened to me. But they did keep up with me. Brave souls, love them! :) I had realized the way out of this dilemma was not by looking into books, but by looking within was! So no more self help books, for life!
At times, you might not know what you want. Its absolutely okay, absolutely fine. You don't have to go under the hood, if you don't know. Even if you don't know the itinerary, relax, the world's not ending and forget what the world has to say. How many of us are privileged to get everything that we wanted? If you are that person. Congratulations, I've not met any extraordinary person like you!!
What had changed for me that led to this deep contemplation? Lots! The day you stop living the way you are, this is what's bound to happen. During the course of time, I had started holding onto plans, wants and tripped over and over again! I had never led my life with a curriculum - Start with Plan A, take a right at Plan B, then go straight until you reach a dead end at Plan C and then go jump in the well in the corner! If I may confess again, I was successful all the way until I stopped living my way. When I didn't, I didn't lose either, I learnt!
I might not know what is that, that I exactly want, bang on, but I know who I AM! C'mon, You have an entire universe to choose things from, you have varied situations, opportunities, different kinds of people, relationships knocking at your door. Choose the best of the things from the abundance and there you go, you have crafted the best possible ways that you might have only dreamt of! Connect the dots, pick the signals and live life stress free, all we have is one. While you are at it, don't forget the small pleasures of life. Heed to you heart, enrich your soul, make life a happy journey and more importantly know who you are!!
And now, that's what I call being a Destiny's Child and I'm proud of being one!! :) :)
P.S: This ain't a chicken soup for everyone and is being served only to the one's who have a similar outlook like mine! The rest of you all, Cheerio! :)
