STOP AND CONSIDER: Life Is But A Day.

-
Have you ever considered life? Have you ever contemplated your existence? Have you ever thought about the mere amount of time you have to truly “live”?
“Stop and Consider, Life is but a day. A fragile dewdrop on its perilous way from Tree’s Summit”
We wake up each day, at a time scheduled by our responsibilities. We Dress up, we have breakfast and then we leave. We leave with a mind full of thoughts. We leave in a haste way, we leave with a restless mind that keep on wandering.

When you step in your car, you feel relaxed for a while, you put on your favorite music, you dance along to the rhythm, you sing along with the lyrics that you practiced pretty hard to memorize. its your time of the day, the only time when you do not even for a second think of the busy day ahead, or the pending work you have at your work place. It’s your time, so you just live, and in that moment you realize you are the happiest person alive. But then you reach your place and you are back to being the person whose shoulders are collapsing with responsibilities, the person whose mind is restless. You go to work, you complete your part of the day, you keep your mind busy all day with your work, but the moment it wanders you are back again in the car singing, or back at your house reading your favorite book, or sipping a warm cup of tea with the person you call “home”, or writing your journal where you spill out your heart.


Your mind wanders to the places that make you feel alive, to the places that make you feel a little closer to your true self, your mind wanders to those places that you keep safe, you think of the moment where your heart skipped a beat and you realize you have never felt more alive.
You know what life is? Your life is in that little ‘moment’ when you feel alive. You truly “live” in that little moment, when you forget about everything and just live for yourself. Life blooms in the moment where you feel the most alive, life blooms in the moment you feel more like yourself, Life is all about the little moment, and life is short. Life is short, to wait for the weekend to read your favorite book, to write your journal or to feel relaxed with that one cup of tea.
We are living each day, we pass these 24 hours doing things we are assigned to, and even when we are not working our mind is still filled with the thoughts of the day ahead. We Live our life only for those 30 minutes a day , or a few hours in a week when we do the things we love, when we give our mind a break.

It’s not too late to realize that ” life is but a day”. So stop and consider life, stop and give yourself some time to ‘live’. I know its a busy day but not busy enough that you don’t have time for yourself. Wake up a little early, take out time from your work when you sit idle, learn to live in the mini breaks, cause “LIFE IS SHORT AND YOU MUST KNOW WHAT ITS LIKE TO TRULY ‘LIVE'”

TWO LIVES IN ONE

“Do you read often?”   The little kid asked me, looking at me as if asking for an answer in the most poetic yet simple manner. “I do, when I need to escape the reality.” “Now what is that supposed to mean, why would you like to escape the reality when it’s all you have?” *****                                                                                                There is a war going on, the one which we fight with ourselves and the one where the heart and mind are  cursed to exist together in the same being. “Oh! What would I give to feel and not to think” and  “Maybe I  would silence the beating of this erratic thunder going on inside me that clouds my thoughts” “kisse chupaye ghumta hai tu khud ko, khwaabon ko sath liye apne man ko peeche chorde, kyu bhag rha h kisse bhag rha hai tu” 'There was a horrible, erratic thumping in  my  chest, as if a large  bird  was trapped  inside my  ribcage and  beating  itself to death.&#

 There is a very ordinary word in the English dictionary that holds a truly inspiring meaning to it. “Perseverance” In Simple terms, it means: “ Continued effort to do or achieve something, even when this is difficult or takes a long time ” These simple words as defined by the Cambridge dictionary may seem ordinary to one but they hold an infinite pool of motivation for someone who never stops trying even in the face of adversity, failure, or delay. Perseverance isn't just a quality; it's a mindset that propels us forward through challenges, setbacks, and uncertainties. It's about staying committed to our goals, even when the path gets tough. You know the saying right?  Things are going to be difficult.  But you, You are going to be difficult-er  XD Be a problem to your problems, mark your territory!! Well, to be honest, you may not have heard of this saying cause I just made it up! LOL!                          As we navigate our careers, we encounter obstacles

“khud ki talash mei khud ko hi kho rahe hai hum” #lost myself along the way to discover who I am “You broke your promise” My 10 year old self screams at me. I stand still, looking into her eyes that twinkle with hopes and dreams, a new dream every day, a new hope, a new goal, a new promise to self, a new moment worth remembering, within a second I see all of myself that I left behind a long time ago. Today when I look back, I realize I left a part of me that I never realized I ever had. “ Into the starry night, I gaze into infinity, wishing upon a falling star, will it fulfill my wishes or pass by like any other dead star” I have gazed into infinity, talked to an unknown body that doesn’t exist but seems to grant wishes, maybe the hope of finding myself, the old me who dreamt with eyes wide open kept me going, to search a little deeper, to look into the unknown, to wish upon a dying star. But today I stand here, on the verge of tomorr
