Being Positive

-:VB:-

All of us want to be positive now don't we?
We all want to be the happy go lucky people that we see around us all the time. We look at them and go "I wish my life could be like theirs" "I wish I could be happy..." and what not.

We all think that what we are living right now isn't what we deserve. We deserve something better.
Why shouldn't we? We have worked sooo hard to be where we are today, so why doesn't life treat us in that manner?
Don't most of us think this way?

In a sad and down state of mind, how many haven't thought of what would this world be like if you weren't simply born? And that the world maybe would've been a better place?

We all know that all of this is a negative aspect of our life that we can never run from. But that doesn't mean that you can't be positive.

It's simple. Really. Be content with what you have.
That's right.

Don't worry about the future, it'll happen when it has to happen. There's nothing you can do to change your past. (Fact: Time machines are not for real)
What has passed has passed. Your life, your bad decisions, the opportunities, the hard earned chances... All of it is gone. What can you do about it? Nothing!
Why cry over that stuff? You've learned a lesson haven't you? Or are you that stupid to understand what happened?
Think over it. Work over it. And most importantly, get over with it.
You have to move on. I'm not saying you shouldn't grieve, but it doesn't mean that your life has ended. We all are brave. But keep that experience in your head, and one day when you least expect it, it'll come handy, and you'll be proud of yourself.

All those broken relationships, those bad business choices, those moments when you were broken, those guilts, those failures.... all of this happens to everyone.

You feel like you are not pretty or handsome?
You feel like everything wrong is happening because of you?
You feel like all the problems come only to you?
-- Welcome to the club!
It's not only you, it happens to those whom you want to be as happy as too. It's only that they have the courage to hold it in, to understand and most of all wear a smile and be happy as if nothing happened.

Many have emerged from the deepest points of life - from rags to riches, from death to life, and from failures to achievers. Why should you be any different?
The planet is full of people, you have years to live, places to go, things to experience, events to witness...don't let anything drag you down, don't let anyone tell you anything any different.

In some cases life isn't as thankful as others.
Don't think when you're going to die for God's sake. The internet is full of that crap. It "claims" to tell you the time of your death, your wedding... and I dunno what not. This leads to curiosity doesn't it? I mean I've been checking these clocks all the time... but not to be sad about it, but because I feel it is funny that we need a program to tell us when we are going to live or die, we need it to make life decisions for us? Come On!!!

We have a short life.
Literally. It's not possible to estimate your time on this planet, but the why worry about that?
Why think about dying when you have a chance to live?

Life is like a Pizza.. that is what I BELIEVE it is... an assorted one.
Some slices are better than the others, some suck, some have extra cheese, some are delicious, some are bland, some are pretty and some are dull.
- Just like life, different moments, different experiences.

When you eat a pizza, which is already ordered, do you waste it? No. You eat it. Why? Because it is the right thing to do... (that.. and you paid for it too...)
- No matter what you have to live your life... because it's the right thing to do.

If there's some leftover food in kitchen, and you have a pizza in front of you, what do you eat? The Pizza of course!
- You have the power to make a choice.

You can cut more slices out of a Pizza. Not necessary to eat it the way the restaurant tells you to.
- Make your own decisions, but most importantly do what is right.

Pizza has many slices not only one. Why? So that it can be shared.
- You won't get people eager to meet you. You have to get out there and meet people, make friends. They'll be the ones who'll be a part of your slice... part of your Pizza called life, and you'll be a part of their life too.

But unlike a Pizza, you cannot choose life. Life chooses you!

Boy... so many things a Pizza can teach you indeed!

Jokes apart...

Life.
And it's up to you to live up to it. Living is a challenge. Don't you agree?
With all that everyday struggle and those tears, those problems, doesn't life actually challenge you?

Don't you feel like replying to it?
Don't you feel like saying this to life:
"Not matter what you do, I'm not losing. I'll win.
Hit me... I dare you. Hit me with all you got!
I'll smile forever, I'll be happy. You cannot make me go away.
I'll work so hard, I'll compel you to reward me.
I won't worry, I won't cry... I'll face you, and I sure as hell won't die!"

Be content.
Be brave.
Smile.
Learn.
Begin from the start every day.
Respect everyone.
Do not fear.
Be thankful for whatever you have.
Work hard and smart.
Face challenges.
Bear no guilt.
Have no regrets.
- For being positive these are the secrets.

Be Positive! (And I don't mean the blood group...)  ;)

Time will prevail

-:VB:-

What is time exactly?
I don't want the definition. I want the meaning of what time is.
For me time is a countdown right from the moment we are conceived to the time that we die.
From the moment we are born, it's always 'Tick-Tock' for us.

Counting down everyday, with every living breath. It is surely worth noticing how life boosts our morale by firstly nurturing us, letting us grow from feeble bodied innocent little beings to the grown up intelligent beings that we are - and then lets us go....

We begin our lives learning and experiencing love and happiness, which later mean not much to anyone. After that life is just a daily struggle for keeping you and your family alive. Every day is a task to stay alive.
You run after everything in your life. You run after what you want, what you need and why? Because you won't get it served on a silver platter.

Where does time fit in all this you wonder? Time has all the strings in its hands.
Today it is you who is late for office, college or school. What are you tyring to do?
Catching up with time.

You are trying to constantly running after time. You do not have a few moments to spare for a long lost fellow friend you just met on your way to your office, coz you'll miss your train, or miss your flight. You are afraid you might be punished or fired. All that stress really makes you blind towards all the good things in life. You just say 'Hi' to that friend and leave. It is only after some time has passed that you'll realise that you won't be meeting them ever again. You have to live with this regret.

Today we are so dependent on time that we have stopped living.
8pm? Time for the FIFA world cup.
12pm? Time to sleep
7am? $hit I'm late for work.
6pm? I'm gonna miss my train home
8pm? Dinner. I don't have time. Takeout it is.

I mean... isn't this the daily routine that we follow?
On a Sunday morning, we are like: "Just lemme sleep for God's sake! It's a Sunday"

It is at times like these that we even forget our family.
Whenever our parents call us, what do we do?
"I'm busy. Sorry I can't talk" or "Whatever you have to say, say it fast" or you simply speak rudely!
What the hell did they ever do wrong to you?
Are they all that bad only for being concerned about your well being? We all have time to spare for watsapping our friends and yet we don't have time for this?

The point is, we live in crazy times.
Today  punctuality can be seen in the museums - it is ancient - a thing of the past.
All of us are either slow, or running behind time, but none are with time.
We spend hours chatting on our computers and iphones but we do not have time to meet anyone?
We can play candy crush but cannot call our loved ones and say something as simple as a 'Hi'?
We have time for watching movies and TV, but not for someone who needs your help?
We shop for hours at the mall, but we don't have time to talk to our parents?

We have had to create machines to maintain our lives and to teach us how to live, apps to help us organize...
We need watches to keep track of time. I mean really... WTH!
You think money is precious? Try 'Time'. It is the most valuable resource in a world deprived of time. 24 hours are not enough for people. A lifetime is not enough for people. They would do anything at all to grip hold that time.

A day has 24 hours.
How much time does it take to dial a number and talk to someone? With the so called smart phones and skype and chatting services, I still doubt anyone maintains relations with their loved ones.
How much time does it take to meet up a friend or a relative at their place, or simply hangout someplace?
In those 24 hours can't you find time to spare?

Also, it is true that everyone has bitterness in their lives, spoiled relations with people who don't matter, hurt people who are a part of your lives for only some time, and all that enmity and anger... All that for what?
This lifetime will end at the time the least when you expect it to.What will you do with all that regret, anger, frustration and hate? Achaar daaloge?

It'll all be over in a jiffy perhaps. And with your life flashing in front of your eyes, what do you want to see? All this hate and psychosis and madness? Or a lifetime worth remembering and not regretting at all?

Time has and is will always be there. Nothing is stronger in this existence that is stronger than time.
You may learn it the hard way.

Time was there before the universe. It's been there through the birth of galaxies. It's been there when life started. Who knows till when it might exist? You have one shot at this life. At an average of 80 years of life, can't you do something good to this world? To hell with the world, can't you do something for yourself at the least?

Time gives a tiny itsy-bitsy moment, a glimpse of this massive gigantic universe that it commands to you - to live for a jiffy. And what do you do in that jiffy? Some bloody massacre entire species, kill, hurt, spread misery for the times to come. Some spread happiness, love, joy and knowledge. Some aren't lucky enough to be a part of this whole melodrama.

Why not live this jiffy - of average 80 years - in a manner that everyone whose lives you touched remember you at their last moments, and be glad that they ever met you....
