As a teenager in late 90’s- I was so confused about life. Every bad thing that happened to me then, was taken to the court of God (my hypothetical Place of ultimate justice), where I cried and complained and wished why don’t you kill me.
Now standing at the fag end of the year 2021 some odd 20
years later- I am praying and am gratified for each day that I survive.
If someone happens to ask me what is the most precious thing
that I have today – that would be MY GOD DAMN LIFE.
So you must be wandering what made me a gratified one over
the complaining one. The answer is – while fighting all the odd battles of
life, is when I realized that- each battle I won or loss actually helped me to
acquire the taste for life the taste for never giving up on life.
I remember post my graduation and first break up- I thought
my life was doomed and I had to carry the baggage of life throughout. That
moment I met random people, heard their stories (a quality I think I am blessed
with - people are comfortable to open up to me). Some I dated and ditched. Some
I gave console and in some I confided in. That tenure of almost 4 years then –
made me nothing but wise learner, as I might prefer to see myself today.
I learnt there is so much chaos in every life. The happy
smiling soul has electrified wires running within – yet they appear so perfect.
Its then when it clicked me that if there is anything that can save me from
being doomed any further is to take these lessons the damn live lessons of experience.
Lesson 1 – life has
its own set of challenges for each one – its we who choose how calmly we
keep the game on
– we set our own defeat mentally and in course of time it just replicates physically.
Lesson 3 – each moment, each situation and each one you come
across in life, carries a lesson – its we , who has to learn the skill life
wants to teach us.
Life has set up these wonderful set of teachers- we have to
be the eager students using the Logic gates of life wisely.
Lesson 4- we have one eternal best friend and one eternal
Competitor and that’s us ourselves.
Reason I share my story is –
i.
I guess this will many like me to rationalize a
lot of things happening or has have happened to them
ii.
Life is way too unpredictable – What if my experience
heals, I don’t want it to be wasted without being shared.
Wow♥️
