‘I am sad cuz I have no reason to rejoice’
This is how my Gtalk status read just a few days back. I had been terribly down and low due to some reasons. So hence the status, to echo what went inside me. Antithetically, I found myself telling a friend this morning, '"We have so many sad people around us. Why can't people stay happy, like we are? I guess I'd like to modify my status on Gtalk…‘I am sad cuz I have no reason to rejoice…But who needs a reason, I am happy anyways’ :) Wow, feels great to be back to my normal self.
That’s me…the real me! A little crazy, some what naive, lame at times….but all this with the sole intention of staying high on life. I've come to realize that I can not stay gloomy for too long. I don't think I like wasting too much time staying sad, no matter what. You never know what happens tomorrow, how short/ long our life is. The time you have today, will never ever come back. No one knows how the life would unfold and what will happen next. Today is what you have. So why not live it large!!
Whatever has been written in the above paragraph is nothing novel or unique. The internet is flooded by the likes of such statements and ideologies. You get a thousand and one similar motivational reads in the market. So basically there's no special gyaan that this blog brings you. But through this column, what I do try to insist on is, you've read enough, you've thought enough, you've contemplated enough….it’s time you act! Put your learning into practice.
Personally, I do a lot of crazy things, like running down on the opposite escalators, getting a tattoo done, getting my nose pierced and many more which I may not want to mention on this forum ;) And the decision for actually doing such things is just based on how happy that makes me. I may not be able to do such things tomorrow, if I happen to get married in a conservative family. I may not be able to enjoy a cotton candy because my family may not expect me to act so kiddish. I may not be able to learn a new instrument if I get so busy in life tomorrow. So why not fulfill these wishes today, when I CAN afford to do all such things.
In fact, it’s the same reason that I am writing this blog today. Somebody made me realize that I hadn’t been writing for a while, something that I really like doing, and something that I’m pretty decent at (if not good) - {Modesty, thy name is Jeetsu :D} So there it goes.
Before winding up, I have a cheat code for people who are unable to play the game themselves. ‘Have good friends around you, and your life is sorted.’ We have often heard that we cannot choose our friends or relatives, but friends, we certainly can! Make the most of this liberty because it’s very important to have good friends in life to make it worth living. So have a rocking group of friends to inspire you, support you and most importantly stand by you in your thicks and thins.
Kudos to my friends, some of which are also like my guardian angels :)
Remember, life’s what YOU make it, so make it right!
