Don't worry about life; you're not going to survive it, anyway.

I started blogging not for reporting my daily activities, but to spread the word... to make people think outside the ‘box’… to make people realize that the best feeling one can get is not when one receive their pay checks on first of each month, but when they wake up early morning, living their dream... everyone has a dream... some just forget their goals.. or they live someone else’s!!
Choices are many, the safe choices are few… an engineering degree + a software job is the safest of them all… go early morning at 9 and come back at 6, for the rest of your life… many people don’t care, they get $ at the end of the day, and that’s all that drives many…then there is the arranged marriage at 25,26 to someone who is “fair” and “educated”… Kids at 28 and 31… and kids follow up.
What I don’t understand is why people are afraid to think big! Is it so hard to have a dream…what happened to the voice inside you.. what happened to the countless days gone by when u sat thinking … how cool would it be to be singing on stage with million fans screaming your name… what happened to the announcement you were planning to make… “please fasten your seatbelts, this is your captain here” … what happened to the million practices of “ I dedicate this award to my family…” what happened?.. Can you honestly tell me that you actually dreamt of a 9-5 job? Don’t tell me, I know the answer.. you don’t.. so tell yourself, ask yourself… go to a mirror somewhere close by, (and in case u aren’t in the vicinity of one, increase the brightness of your monitor till it starts reflecting)… and repeat after me… “I wanted a nine to five job” & “I am happy with my job” … repeat now closing your eyes… tough right?
Failure is a part of life.. some brave men say, failure is life… there are countless setbacks in each of our lives, but sitting and mourning about it wont help anyone’s causes..

Everything happens for a reason, every event has a purpose and every setback its
lesson… failure, both professional and personal are essential for personal expansion. It brings inner growth and a whole host of rewards… never regret your
past, rather embrace it as the teacher that it is…

Believe me there are practically no differences between you and people like Diana, Gandhi, Mother T, Mandela, or the heroes who laid their lifes for their countries..the only difference is that they had a dream, and had a passion...what is your passion?
Just don’t do something ‘cause your parents think u should do so, they just want best for their kids, and what do they now what drives you? Maybe hiking in the Himalayas , or river-rafting in ganges would be the best thing for you… but they don’t know it.. only you do.. having a roof above your head and food to eat are the bare essentials of life. ( clothes to wear doesn’t fit in, cause many “costumes” I see in clubs/parties can be made out of single handkerchiefs and they don’t cost a thing )
You cant blame anyone for your misfortunes, failures… you cant say u are this because ( insert parents/uncles/friends ) forced me to.. you are, what you allow yourself to become…
Take a risk, and by that I don’t mean put all your money on “rising moonshine” ( that was the winner of the Bangalore derby ( horse races ) sometime back . ) no one can stop you from doing something u love… probably the only person who can do so, is you… Just do something that you usually wouldn’t do on a Monday morning, maybe surf in the chilling waters of the ocean, maybe go-carting , maybe a new career… just do something, if not for yourself, at least do it for the person you were 10 years ago…maybe 20… when u used to dream.. when u used to imagine..
Many shirts i've seen say that ‘tomorrow is the beginning of the rest of your life’, do you believe that? Or is tomorrow just another day? Do you dare follow your passions… do you dare live a dream? Do you dare reach your destiny as it was meant to be? Do you dare believe that you can? Do you dare explore yourself? Do You?
