On the wings of time

Times are not tough, our thinking is...

Time just keeps moving simply in a straight line. In fact, it's a great healer! Had we been stuck in the same awful moment that we once experienced, always, how pathetic it would have been? But no. That doesn’t happen because time moves ahead, embraces us, and takes us along!

Many times things happen that are just out of our limited reasoning. Bad things happen, meanwhile, when you may be busy trying to drown yourself in them - miracles happen too! Whatever happened or was lost is gone now. Wasting a single moment on a lost ruthless memory/moment, being entangled in it by continuously thinking about it will leave us even more adrift and deprive us of what we have now - a lovely family, some lovely friends, a beautiful sunshine, an awesome sunset, the moon and the stars, and all the beautiful moments that are yet to come.

There's a lot in life. We can turn our eyes towards the good, or we can turn around and keep looking in the opposite direction constantly feeling sad about it. Nowadays we resist the flow of life so much that we are constantly looking in the opposite direction. We are forcing everything around us in ‘any’ different way we can.

Take it easy, let the time and life flow through you. Peep into your heart, am sure it enjoys this. Splashing in the rain, playing in the sand, just lying down at night and watching the countless stars in the sky, hearing the birds chirp… There are tons of things – THIS is entertainment for the heart and the soul. Not the news channel we keep throwing at them the whole day, which keeps playing those same clips of the downfall of the human race, over and over again!

Similarly, when you start enjoying and giving the appropriate entertainment to your heart, with time, it'll also respond back with what it wants to do. That’s how you talk to it. Be friends, have a good time, and then ask. There comes your true passion! That’s how you find your dreams and goals. That’s the answer to – ‘I don’t know my dreams’, ‘I don’t know what I want to do in life’. 

Don’t do things just because they can be done. That - anyone can do. Do what your heart says because that, no one else can do!  

When we don’t do that, we are stuck with whatever is thrown at us from all directions. We are hypnotized to buy things and think they will make us happy. We want more and more money to buy more and more things. But none of these last or fit in our lives to make us truly happy, or to find what we love to do and we keep doing what we don’t want to, to keep buying what we don’t need to. Slowly, we start to feel that we are going down, times are difficult, life is unfortunate, we are unlucky, we don’t have enough.

So now, give it life, embrace the flow, sit on the wings of time and fly high! Once you see that view, you’ll never turn around!

PS: By the flow of life, I don’t mean accept your life howsoever it’s going on. You definitely ought to be in control where and how you are going. I am not referring to the ‘material’ flow of life here, which we have created, but the natural flow of life with which we have hindered just too much. The direction we are moving in, the goals we may have set, many times, are just a made up story by us to our heart, to give an explanation of the guilt we have for not doing what it wants us to.
