Hello again!
Writing after a long time! This time with a calm and pleasant smile on my face. Unlike the smile which comes when you achieve something great or when you get a reward, this smile of mine is different. You might wonder what is this person talking about, but if you were me you would understand.
You know today I had a normal day, a hectic one in fact! With criticism, a pinch of appreciation, lots of stress of finishing things, meeting deadlines and all sorts of things which you could imagine..but still I have this glowing smile on my face.. While I am not happy at achieving something or have got any great prize for my work; I'm still calm from within.
What I am experiencing right now within me is peace :)
I'm at peace with who I am.. I'm calm and happy thinking about the hurdles I have crossed and the learning I have taken with me from my failures.
To tell you an incident, somebody recently asked me a simple question : What motivates you in life?
This seemingly simple question complicated my brain, my mind, my soul for the time I was trying to figure out concretely what motivates me!
Initially i thought it's responsibility given to me then i thought may be it's the desire to be better then may be wish to impress people and the list goes on :P
When ultimately I found out my answer, I just laughed out at the thought of the simple answer I arrived at.
Do you want to know what I found? It's pretty simple.
What motivates me in life is Life itself! :) The thought about the very fact that I've got just this one life! Just this one life to explore things, to know about myself and the world, to go around places, to make new friends, to form livelong relationships, to do something good... this can be an endless list of things that you,me or anyone would want to do.
You know, I know what I want..I want to 'live' this one life that I've fortunately got. I want to live every moment, live through every challenge, do things which make me proud, celebrate happiness, sharing and the very feeling of togetherness with the world and within!
I'm not saying life is an easy to ride BMW.. but seeing the other side at least we have something to ride on!
Yes life has its tough and easy parts.. but then I want to live it to see how i fair these :)
I had read a quote long back and it became my guiding principle for life,
"When Life throws lemons at you, Make a lemonade out of it!"
Yes dear ones, I think with this belief in my heart that my life would be what I make out of it, I want to explore more, dream more, live more! :)
In the fast pace of moving ahead of others, we forget about our own selves. Try finding out about the most interesting person living, You!
On this note, I would suggest you to find out what motivates you in life and keep smiling always for it adds beautiful colors to your vision of life :)
