You are your own cavalry

All throughout our lives, we are taught to stand up to the expectations and wisdoms people hope us to be having. Avoid turning out to be an out-of-the-box being but stay a mere puppet who lives the standard mediocre life, hesistant towards the probable upcoming destiny-changers. 

Life is an ocean. Seeming quiet (soughtable) on the surface but holding infinite number of lessons within. Human souls are the ships that sail over the waters, trying to divert the direction (ship's wheel) in all situations where deviations seem the best option out. On this journey, the waters don't always stay calm. They act on their own tides and send us baskets of unexpected pop-ups. Everything is bottled up in tiny baskets which we come across in the course of our life. 

It's not only about the things we have in life, but majorly what we do about them. The orthodox thinking that acts like shackles around our beliefs turns out to be the biggest stone that hinders our journey of life. Every stone we stumble across isn't always meant to be crossed over, sometimes they are placed in our way for us to gear ourselves up and throw them far away from the path on which other passengers (fellow beings) shall also travel.Not all things come easy. Stumbbling would only mean that we ease our own trip and leave the hurdle for others to face. Be a worker and take the initiative of easing other people's journey by foresighting a bigger plan and implementing on it despite of all hardships.

Not everyone is blessed with the courage or opportunity to work for the betterment of fellow beings. Whenever, you come across an instance where you can lend a helping hand, sure take the initiative. It might not do you much good directly but the conscience will always guide you right. Be selfless and stay put. Stop running from actions and hardwork even if they are not for your own thyself but for others. Maybe the person or the reaction of action won't just pay off quickly, but time shall surely come with a heavy paycheque. 

Moreso, mediocrity is overrated. It's been done with, lived with, overused with. Traditional thinking won't take you places. Be open to changes, newness and accept the discomfort with open arms. Expectations should be met with, for as long as they coincide with your soul. Think rationally and do what seems the most appropriate. Wisdoms never existed, they were created. So don't wrap your brain around only following it blindly. Cross your heart over it and try creating your own ones.

Your life is inclusive of the journey that you alone will undertake. Remember, every setback is an opportunity in disguise. On this path, certain fellow travellers shall take your hand and help you step over pebbles. But when it comes to that big scary stone, you are the lone one to decide whether to take the easy way out and just tackle it with a long stride or to buckle up and push it out of the way. Opportunities will knock on your life door a handful number of times, be sure not to miss them; neither to back away from it nor to sell yourself short infront of them.

Rightly remarked by Elaine Maxwell, "Whether I fail or succeed shall be no man's doing but my own. I am the FORCE"

Kindness pays , rudeness never !

By
A man as great as his words , Mark Twain once remarked ," Kindness is the language which blind can see and the deaf can hear ." The mortal struggle to exist in the diverse society many a times prompts us to take up the path of rudeness and stubbornness . Not only do these qualities hamper our internal growth but do also hamper the affection which might be imparted upon us .  People tend to regard others on the basis of their behaviour and expression . Let alone the personality they carry . The impression once formed in other's minds is often hard to mold and twist towards a new angle .  It is also argumentable that a person might not always be able to carry a lighter and positive , happy air around . Unexpected turn of fateful events often ruins one's mood and brings irritability in his actions . It is often said ," No man is born bad , but circumstances make him bad ." But , except all these minority feelings , what shall always linger into our behaviour be...

Untouchables

By
Time has far changed for the ritual of untouchability to prevail .  But more in it's metamorphical way , some chosen class & section of people are treated nothing less than an untouchable .  Clearly distinctive it is , the people who serve us at restraunts , homes , swipe the roads etc . are very less regarded humans . Rude and impolite behaviour is what they are often treated with .  What made me think deep about these people was the thought which hit me quite a long time back ; and it was an awakening one . Sitting there sipping into my perfect cup of coffee , my mind was almost clear from the traffic of thoughts . Pondering my eyes over from one scene to another , they finally rested upon the sweeper sweeping the floor outside the cafeteria . Appreciating his hardwork and dedication towards his job , a familiar figure crossed my vision . That of the person who served me my perfect cup .  That ! That was when I realised how different both of them working out th...

The reason

By
Every tiny thing that we encounter is preplanned by Him . He knows what is best and appropriate . Though we might oppose ; but gradually when the reason is presented before us , everything becomes crystal clear . Patience is all that we need . Patience for things to be clear . Patience for that puzzle to get solved . We need to remember ourselves "Nothing happens without a reason " And when we do this , we will be able to analyse things in their truest sense .                                                                                                    Find the reason !

The one-eyed mother

By
My mother had only one eye . I hated her , age was such an embarrassment . My mom ran a small shop at a flea market . She collected little weeds and such to sell , anything for the money we needed . She was such an embarrassment . There was this one day during elementary school . I remember that it was field day , and my mom came . I was so embarrassed . How could she do this to me ? I threw her a hateful look and ran out . The next day at school . "Your mom only has one eye ?" and they taunted me .  I wished that my mom would just disappear from this world so I said to my mom , "Mom , why don't you have the other eye ? You're only going to make me a laughingstock . Why don't you just die ?" My mom did not respond . I guess I felt a little bad , but at the same time , it felt goo to think that I had said what I'd wanted to say all this time . Maybe , it was because my mom hadn't punished me , but I didn't think that I had hurt her feelings ve...
