This busy world that keeps us running round the clock sometimes pauses to ask a question. Where are we headed for ? When will most of us feel done and dusted ? What’s our destination upto ?
The simple answer to most of us is that we are moving on in an inertia where our pursuit for the wrap up to ring down the curtain is undefined.
As young adults we were headed for a career, next most people get busy with family and priorities around our loved ones. We work initially to get the ship of life sailing and when we reach the mid sea we dream higher and unless intercepted with misfortune the goal gets misty in the horizon. As success ushers people envisage bigger fantasies. It’s at this time when it’s important to ask oneself, what did I initially conceive about life and now what am I trying to pursue.
It’s absolutely pragmatic to upgrade and bear aloft one’s achievements but the question is where to ? and also when upto ?
It’s one life that we are all living . We need to work, achieve, give, relish and also take back our share of bliss. The journey of the busy race sometimes blurs the purpose with the pace. The few who know when to hold up, slow down, introspect and be in peace with this universe are the few blessed ones.
The aura of material attainments and triumph of social positions are perhaps alluring. At the same time that beautiful delineation between to do and done needs to be drawn. Apart from running for herculean achievements to fill our basket of name and fame it’s edifying to perceive that life has beauty beyond.
The small fountains of peace in every situation in life are often ignored until a very late stage of maturity. There is so much happiness in making another person smile. That wild flower in the bush and the drop of dew on the grass in your backyard. The neatly set kitchen, that half empty wardrobe. The dishes done and the laundry bag empty. Some may feel these are paltriness. But no if you can feel happy with these usually insignificant things then peace is what you have perceived.
The journey continues as preset. But the traveller which is each of us can choose to be happy or forever thirsty. The baggage of good and bad is usually equal at the end of it all. What matters is how we introspect what we have on our platter. Honestly meeting your own soul and counting all the positive energy it holds can give each of us a wonderful feeling of fulfilment.
Life is ultimately how you interpret your own equation of search and found in terms of pains taken to reach holy grails.
