We often have sordid memories of yesterday, of things that did not go right, of those who wronged us and of events that shattered us. We may have moved on with a visible detachment to all that, but a lingering flame continues to flicker somewhere...Having transited into the present, we appreciate all that is worthy about being alive, about being surrounded by those we love and about the moments that make life worth living. With this realisation, we move ahead into weaving a future for ourselves, taking care to save a bit of good in everything, in order to breed a tomorrow that should possibly glow brighter than today.
There's a desire to hold on to joys that are ephemeral, and a greater desire to bring about a permanence in the transient. There is an urgency to kick out the stalemate and jump start into a headway. In doing so, we take turns and detours that land us into bumps, yet we march on with an effort to avoid pitfalls.
To be intimidated by bumps makes the onward march rather daunting. However, the remarkable spirit of adventure that we carry within, teaches us to tackle obstacles. Herein lies the true spirit of living a life, one that is neither entirely white nor thoroughly black. If we can appreciate the shades of grey and learn to polish the same to bring about a shine, we live life to a hilt. We have learnt to live in the moment, for when it passes we will have something to smile about, a smile that will outshine the tears.
With the right foot forward, life never takes us back. All we need is a VISION that goes beyond the wall. We may not be able to see in the dark but can still visualise light, and with this vision, life never detracts. It rather optimizes...all we need is to be conscious of every moment and have the goodwill to celebrate. Every celebration is what we look forward to, and this is what we live for! We are neither the optimist nor the worshiper, neither the utopian nor the visionary. We are realists. We experience, learn and value the ordinary pleasures of every day living.
Someone has rightly said, "We live in the age of distraction. Yet one of life's sharpest paradoxes is that your brightest future hinges on your ability to pay attention to the present."
