life is about experiences. the more you experience the more you learn. the more you learn the more you grow. and of course more the variety... spicier it is.
the past few years have been a roller coaster of experiences some fun... some not so happy and some very different. getting a job here in US and fitting right in - that was a shocker! knowing your capabilities have no geographical boundaries is a wonderful feeling. getting to know different cultures... making new friends... being accepted for who you are by those who are so culturally different... i even found the US version of me!
and life will have its simple moments.. the key here is to find happiness in simple things... which is really hard at least for me.. i always want more from life (i am grateful for what i have) and i tend to choose tough over easy. that could be a reason why i attract "difficult".. i dont like easy.. and i have no answer why.. maybe i like the struggle.. the challenge. i am often told i am strong... and i guess it is because of my struggles. From struggle comes strength..
as an after thought.. it is really silly to choose difficult over easy.. at this stage in life i would love life to be easy... choose easy if it is right ;) only fools rush in where angels...
whatever u do... wherever you go... enjoy the journey. i dont mean to underplay the significance of the destination... that is the ultimate goal right. one needs to do anything and everything to get there. sometimes u'll get there sometimes u wont. and of course there is no such thing as a negative experience. only opportunities to grow, learn and advance along the road...

Cool Lady.. I like the thought process and your chosen path in all the writings below.
ReplyDeleteThe Goal is a "myth perpetuated in the mind" that becomes a reality, but it someplace signifies an end.Your life doesn't end with a Goal achieved/not reached. So eventually its the journey thats more important.Till this point i am completely in sync.
Right being difficult is what i intrinsically do not completely agree. Initially when one starts doing the right things , they are seemingly ( mind u only seemingly more difficult)then that too becomes a habit and then on its easy.
I love ur reference to choices. "I regret the choices i did not make" ..ufff what a refrain. Choice is power , choice is freedom and choice is the responsibility of the fallout result. But owning the choice and accepting the outcome of it for whichever way the dice falls is a learning. Its growth. Success in life has come to those who carried on with their choices irrespective of stray results otherwise, than to those who voiced regrets. But thats my view entirely.
Loved your post keep writing. Don't u dare stop now.
thanks K... i saw this just now.. i should visit here more often :) and here's a very simple example that comes to mind of what i mean by the right thing being tough. What do you do when you are angry with a friend.. the typical first reaction would be to lash out a stream of angry words.. maybe throw things around slam doors.. stomp.. do whatever it is that you do to express your anger.. maybe make the situation worse than it was. But think about it.. is that the right thing to do? How many ppl are able to control their anger and stop.. rationalize and think through the situation.. calm down and then sort it out.. maybe it was all a misunderstanding.. which is more often than not the cause of fights between friends. The right thing is hard to do.. makes sense?
