Ever imagined how the world will be if u had the ability to pause your life whenever u wished to. You like a moment and u don't want that moment to pass away, then simply pause it.How wonderful it will be.You move around the people suspended like statues,doing anything u want,feeling and enjoying this invincible power.
Sometimes i feel like rewinding my life and erase all the painful moments away so that the memories will go away.I feel like re living my life again this time avoiding all the mistakes and sadness.If i had the remote to control my life, i would have analysed my entire life by using the rewind,play and fast forward buttons and edited it the way a film making goes through.I would have made sure my life becomes a box office Hit by the time it ends :)
But then we all have impossible crazy wishes, right? Its no use wishing for something that can never turn true.But atleast by day dreaming and fantasizing about it, let me gain some moments of satisfaction and pleasure.
I know that the ultimate remote of my life lies in God's hands.He is the best one to control my life may be better than me.He has purposely blended our lives with the spices of sorrows and hard times so that we can learn how to cope with them and thus feel pain too.After all,without feeling pain, we won't realize how sweet the taste of happiness can be.If there is joy,there has to be sorrow too.Both of them goes hand in hand together.
Now, i am not implying that God should give pain to everyone.I am just imagining how it will be to lead a life devoid of any sorrow or pain.It sure will put a constant happy smile on my face but then i won't be able to know the importance of joy.If i don't feel how alive it is to be happy,what else will be there to look forward to.Life will become monotonous.So, i guess i should stop my ponderings now, got work to do :) and leave the rest to God to sort out my life.
Like the quote goes,
"Have courage for the great sorrows of life and patience for the small ones. And when you have laboriously accomplised your daily task, go to sleep in peace.God is awake."
(Victor Hugo, 1802-1885)

The Key to Happiness
Today i felt a heaviness in my heart.Although everything went fine,i lacked something inside.Life has taught me many things and i know that i still need to learn a lot..After all my life has only begun.Like the words in the poem "Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening" by Robert Frost.."i have miles and miles to go before i sleep"...
I feel that life is truly like a roller coaster ride, it drives us completely crazy at times, makes us scream aloud with both fear and thrill, twisting and turning us through the valley of joy and sorrow. Life is like Bangalore's weather one moment the sun shines so hard and the next moment rain falls down unexpectedly like cats and dogs.
Same way in our lives, we sometimes feel like as though the heaven has opened its doors wide open for us and we feel on top of the world, dancing merrily on our toes and the very next day, something dreadful happens that causes us to topple down from the top to the hard hitting ground ruthlessly.
I learnt one thing that whenever u expect or hope something, u have to learn to prepare yourself to endure the outcome of that hope.The result may either not be upto our expectations(which happens mostly) or it may just be above our expectations(rarely, takes us by a pleasant surprise).For me,whenever i have expressed any desire or hope to achieve something badly, it mostly doesn't come out true.I don't get to reap the rewards for my hard work.So, like always i feel disappointed as to why it didn't turn out as i expected and then i become gloomy and sad and finally have a conversation with God :) who no doubt never fails to leave my side.
I have realized that the key to happiness lies in our way to handle various adverse situations.If u always feel positive inside,u will never let happiness leave by your side.After all, happiness is just a state of your mind.Its always in your control.Handling upsetting situations with a sweet smile :) and a "Never Say Die" attitude is the best way to beat sadness.
I know it is easy to say and specially sounds great to the ears :) and u may say that it becomes difficult sometimes to keep up your spirits even in upsetting situations.After all we are humans rite,we will feel pain and disappointed with life at some or the other point of our lives.But still what we can do is try, try our best to come out of it.
Nothing is impossible.It all lies within us how to accomplish something.If u want something, go for it, work your heart out to achieve it and if u still don't get it, then atleast u can say that u had given ur best shot.Too bad, it didn't work out and move on ahead with a more passionate approach to life."Where there is a will, there is always a way"...And on this positive note, i am signing
off for today...Adios...
