Confusion

We want to be loved, but we don’t want to be in love.

We want to get noticed, but we aren’t courageous to stand out of the crowd.

 So many inhibitions, so many confusions – always trying to look into the future; this is me, or this is you.

Be bold in your decision be clear with your voice. Aimed or aimless, live what you are. Don’t try to change for someone else, even if your try to change, by the time you’ll change, the person’s demands from you will change. Someone has rightly said – “Tomorrow's life is too late. Live today” and on the similar lines my saying has always been – “Live for Today, Die Tomorrow”. Whatever you are, carry to the perfection, live with your decisions. Some people say, life is not Black or White, it is shades of GREY. But if it is in the shades, then try at least to be in the brighter sides of shades.

The most annoying part of today’s life is a NO is not a NO; anything which is not YES is assumed to be NO. Hopes then remain, but what for- hearing a NO? We are now becoming some kind of policy seller, finding new customer to our network chain of business-“Excuse me sir/madam, I’m Mr. X, working with a MNC, earning in $s, a frequent flier, will you please be friend with me?” The ideal reply should be YES/NO on the case basis, if you are interested in buying the policy or if you are happy with your own friends. But, the answer came, I’m busy right now can you ping me later, a not NO, answer, a hope for the policy seller who has to sell his business at any cost to survive in the fast pace world. Result a waste in HIS time, a waste in YOUR time attending him so many times, so it’s not worth to save a NO.

Don’t be confused, you are good enough in yourself. A T-shirt quote once impressed me – “Why are you so depressed, you were luckiest of the millions to come in this world”. It is the HICCUPS, the middle state of any decision, within ourselves which avoids us to reach to a conclusion. Nobody else, but the self within defines our destiny.

There should be a conclusive note attached to your grave which should guide future generation either to be YOU, or NOT to be YOU. And don’t be a waste consumer of the AIR/WATER/LAND without living with what you are.
