we all get one life to live which we take for granted and when things are taken for granted
we don't see much value in it.so we start thinking about various other things,setting goals,planning life,analyzing failures and successes,listening to some heroic stories ,making role models for ourselves,if you don't have any,you are just google search away.
so the motto becomes lets dream big,make our lives large,let the world know what you are capable of,
be a winner.I would say that's a great thought,but hold your horses a bit and think for a while,
did you lose on some finest things in life while you were all busy trying to achieve the bigger things,
like seeing the morning sun rising as majestically as ever ,like cracking and listening to jokes of your colleagues ,bursting out in laughter,like helping a friend in need ,interacting with young kids and be part of their silly games.,spending more time with family ,assuring them you are hale and hearty and doing good in life, or even like eating your best food in unlimited quantity (being a foodie)
I bet people must miss on some if not many of these things which are essential part of life while trying to make it large in life.I think its time to realize that big achievements,those larger than life moments are just moments that you rightly deserve after eons of painstaking efforts,however those small moments filled with happiness joy are the ocean of emotions that you go through in life.
so logically ,those small moments weigh much more than the so called big moments of your life
so how do you prioritize things,do you go for the summit or savor the journey, well its not an exclusive choice I think one must aim for both in life..you achieve things,dream big,maybe even contribute to society someday ,however whatever it is that you wanna achieve,just make sure that its just a part of your life and not your life itself.
life itself is of utmost importance,the reason being contrary to our false conscious belief ,life does not come with a guarantee of how many heart beats you gonna have.Its all unpredictable and the ultimate truth of life being one day this life will kill you, it will take from you whatever you have accumulated or "achieved" and you will merge into the universal zero or your consciousness will advance to higher levels,lets not go there who knows?,however as far as earth is concerned that will be end of you ,your successes and your failures.
so you die and people say you "rest in peace"..well if its true that one day i am gonna be rested just like that in peace and I don't know for how long,why not get tired all you can while you are alive.
why not put painstaking efforts in various things we do ...so there you go,you must do that,however
our efforts should never be one dimensional it needs to encompass various parts or sectors of life.
and when you try as good as you can for everything you have in life ,efforts will become effortless because you will have that much more happiness and pains wont be pains.
you will be running the race,but with happiness and belief in your heart that no matter what the result is I was happy when i started the race and i will be happy when i end it.
Have a great life !!!
